Chapter 831: Did your second sister make a mistake?
After lit the curtain, Shao Jieer went to click on some messy things on the side, which were all flammable debris. She lit it for a moment and then started to catch it.
Liu Xiang was frightened by the rising temperature in the house and let go of her hands. She looked at Shao Jie'er who was still igniting the fire in shock. This time she was so scared that her hands and feet were trembling, and she almost stared blankly at Shao Wanru lighting the fire in the house.
The fire in the room started to burn. The fire and temperature burned Shao Jie'er's fear just now. Hearing the sound behind, he turned around and saw the fragrance that looked at her like a pair of dead fish eyes. He said angrily: "I'm not here to help and push some of the easily burned furniture over there."
"Miss, Miss!" Liu Xiang had no idea where the strength came from, so she jumped up and rushed towards Shao Jie'er, and directly hit Shao Jie'er on a cabinet. The oil lamp in her hand fell to the ground and burned it to Shao Jie'er's dress, causing Shao Jie'er to scream.
"Hurry, put out the fire!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Liuxiang rushed to the fire on Shao Jie'er's dress and said anxiously: "Miss...what should we do now?"
She was too afraid of nervousness, so she didn't remember what happened to Bai Ying that she had just seen at the window.
"Let's go quickly!" Looking at the already rising fire, Shao Jie'er kicked her feet hard a few times, finally extinguishing the fire on her body, covering her nose and rushing out. After Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, she turned around and escaped with Shao Jie'er very quickly.
When they arrived in the yard, the room before was already burning, and standing in the yard, you could still sense the fire and warmth.
"Miss..." Liu Xiang wanted to speak again.
"Don't talk nonsense. First make yourself feel like you've escaped from a fire, and then find a place to hide!" Shao Jie'er ordered.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
I walked forward a few steps to the window and wanted to burn the fire to my body. I didn't expect to reach the window. Suddenly I heard a scream of fragrance behind me. Just as I was thinking of turning back, I also had a heavy blow on my head. My body softened and slowly fell down.
A man with a white cloth on his body came out, and pulled off the white cloth on his body and turned out to be a masked man in black. He held one with his left and right hands, lifted the master and servant, and carried it into the darkness.
This is just right. I didn’t have to spend my own efforts to meet the requirements of Miss Five…
The fire started to burn, and the blazing fire was shining far in the luminous light, which immediately alarmed some people who were not sleeping. When they saw the fire, they knew that it was lost, and they started shouting loudly. Some people were beating gongs and drums, and the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion was woken up.
The servants heard that the fire was getting on, so they hurriedly got up, carrying buckets of big and small, and came to put out the fire.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The courtyard of this place is a little more remote. People in the Wen Xiang Mansion on the side were already alarmed. When the Xingguo Duke's Mansion was in full swing, Wen Xichi was just a candidate. This kind of thing has nothing to do with him. Now he has to come.
Officials from the Ministry of Justice originally dealt with this kind of public security issue.
When he came over, the people in Duke Xingguo's mansion were already in chaos, and no one noticed that he brought a few people to help.
When I arrived at the fire, I saw that Duke Xingguo had already been guarding here, not only Duke Xingguo, but also the eldest son Shao Huaan, and the third master of Duke Xingguo's mansion.
When several people saw Wen Xichi, they knew that he was helping. After thanking him, they also asked his people to join the firefighters.
"How did this fire start?" Wen Xichi frowned and asked, asking on a routine basis.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"I don't know, but it suddenly started to fire. All the furniture in the past was inside!" Shao Huaan's face was not very good-looking and he replied.
No one's new house will look good if it burns.
"Who is living here? Have you rescued me?" Wen Xichi was concerned about another point and asked at the fire scene in front of him.
"I was originally going to be a wedding room for me, but no one lives there yet, but my grandmother just passed the news that my second sister was copying the female ring inside, but no one was found yet!" Shao Huaan replied, looking a little angry and annoyed.
"Have you found someone yet?" Wen Xichi was stunned and asked anxiously.
"I didn't find it, but... there was no one inside... I don't know where the second sister is!" Shao Huaan looked anxious.
"I'll go and see!" Wen Xichi said, and was about to go and see, but was pulled by Shao Huaan. "All the things inside are burned down. Now even the houses may collapse. You can't go in!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
As he spoke, it seemed to reflect Shao Huaan's words. A huge voice came, and the house in it really collapsed, and some Mars were splashed. Many people jumped up and slapped at the Mars on their bodies.
"It's too dangerous here, let me retreat!" Duke Xingguo Shao Jing shouted loudly, while instructing people to pull back all the people who had approached before.
The other rooms were no longer reliable, and the beams of the main house fell, and other places were soon.
Their talents retreated farther, and the houses fell one after another, and sparks splashed out. Fortunately, everyone just heard Duke Xingguo's words and retreated a lot early, so that no one was hurt.
It was almost overwhelming that Duke Xingguo asked someone to go up to water and put out the fire.
"This is your wedding house, why choose here?" Wen Xichi looked at the location of this yard, then looked at the size of this yard, and asked in confusion.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The size and location of this yard obviously do not match Shao Huaan's identity, and it does not look like he should live in any way.
It’s almost the same to live for an ordinary lady in the mansion, or even the lady from the direct line would not live in such a yard. After all, his eldest son, and the prince who inherited the family business, how could he live in such a place!
"There is no suitable place for a while!" Shao Huaan was all focused on the fire. Hearing Wen Xichi's question, he said casually.
"How could it not be? Aren't there several large yards in your mansion that were vacant? It's not more decent than this?" Wen Xichi was puzzled. He knew that there were not many masters of the Duke Xingguo Mansion and that the yard was much empty, and no matter how you choose, you can't pick one of them.
Shao Huaan reached out and rubbed his forehead, and said annoyedly: "Grandma's meaning, I asked me to pick one casually, I just picked one casually!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Wen Xichi said this and was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said, "You are too casual!"
"It's indeed too casual. I should have seen it clearly at the beginning. Now it's too late to regret it. It's not only my own furniture, but also the furniture sent from the Zhao Shangshu's mansion. This matter is troublesome!" Shao Huaan also said regretfully.
When a newcomer gets married and decorating a new house, it is up to the man, but there are also women who love their daughters and will send some furniture that their daughters like. This is how Zhao Shangshu’s mansion does.
"It's indeed a bit troublesome!" Wen Xichi nodded, and felt that this was not easy to deal with. His own things would burn. If the woman's things at home were just burned like this, she would have to give a reasonable explanation and apologize.
Just by this, the Duke of Xingguo was much weaker. Even if the woman's family raised some other conditions, the Duke of Xingguo had to agree.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Who asked the Duke Xingguo Mansion to burn out all the women's furniture?
For families like this, the dowry is prepared early when they marry their daughters, and some furniture has been prepared since the daughter was born. Now it has burned the efforts of others for so many years, which is really unreasonable.
"Shangshu Zhao is pretty good." Wen Xichi comforted Shao Hua'andao. The two of them have been friends for many years, and some of them are direct words and there is no need to go around.
"I can only hope this is the case!" Shao Huaan said with a wry smile, spreading his hands, and had no choice but to do anything.
With such a big fire, even the furniture that has remained is probably no longer useful. The first batch of items sent to decorate the new house have been burned out.
Wen Xichi turned his attention to the fire again. The fire has weakened now. After pouring water in pots, only sporadic flames remain. The problem should not be big.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Is it because someone deliberately wanted to destroy your newlywed yard?" Wen Xichi asked inexplicably.
Three years ago, the incident of the fire in the Duke of Xingguo's mansion was an arson case, and all of this is now an arson case.
The fifth lady who was recognized by Duke Xingguo’s Mansion in the fire scene was the fire, but now it is the second lady of Duke Xingguo’s Mansion. Is there any connection here?
Wen Xichi inexplicably felt that there was a connection between these two fires.
"My yard is not a good thing. Who would have thought of burning him? Besides, there were no people in the yard, so there was only the second sister who was punished. My grandmother said that it was because my second sister made a mistake in me before, so my grandmother punished her second sister to copy the female ring in the wing room next to her at night."
Shao Huaan shook his head and said bluntly that he did not hide anything from Wenxichi.
"Have your second sister made a mistake?" Wen Xichi felt something was wrong here, so he repeated a question and looked at Shao Huaan in a sideways eyes.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that the second sister and the third sister quarreled with me, and there were people from Zhao Shangshu's mansion. Then the grandmother got angry and punished the second sister!" Shao Huaan said a little vaguely, not that he didn't believe in Wen Xichi, but some of the words were related to the reputation of girls in the inner courtyard. Even if he was a friend, he could only click.
Wen Xichi understood what kind of person Shao Jie'er was. He knew when he was young. When he was playing together between the two mansions, Shao Jie'er was not a likable person. She was so arrogant that she was so flattering to her. She seemed to treat herself as a little maid, and she would never dare to disobey whatever she wanted to do.
But for people who are not as good as her, she is very mean, stepping on others ruthlessly, and she is so proud that she is taking the lead.
"Miss Shao San was not punished?" Wen Xichi keenly grabbed one of them and asked. As a friend, he should not ask too much, just understand it, but as an official of the Ministry of Justice present, he still had to ask this.
