"Dead? How can it be? Shen and Qi Miao asked in unison.

Qi Miao thought that there must be something wrong with her ears.

How could Bai Lian die like this, she still had to come to herself for revenge, how could she be willing to die.

Shen couldn't believe it either.

Qi Zhengning nodded, "What the fourth brother said is true, not only Bailian is dead, but the Yao family is also dead. ”

On weekdays, he hates Yao's mother and daughter the most, but when he really heard the bad news, he found that he was not as happy as he imagined.

On the contrary, the mood is a little heavy.

After all, after eight years of living under the same roof, all hatred disappeared the moment he learned the news.

People hate to die!

Qi Miao asked, "How did they die?" ”

Qi Zhengning explained the reason.

After reporting the case, on the second day, Fu Yin sent a director from the government office to hunt down Bai Lian.

Originally, the Bai family left on the afternoon of the first day, and it stands to reason that the catchers should be able to catch up with her soon, but who expected that on the way to the pursuit, they encountered another homicide, so they stopped and delayed for some time.

The night before, they finally caught up with Bai Lian, and when they arrived at the inn where she was staying, they were shocked to find that the inn had fallen into flames.

And Bai Lian and Yao were buried, and they only found charred corpses.

"What about the Bai family and the mothers-in-law sent by my mother, what is their situation?" Qi Miao couldn't think about it much, and was busy asking about it, with a look of anxiety on her face.

The Bai family was specially invited by her and her mother, and the mother-in-law was sent by her mother. If they have three longs and two shorts, they will have a troubled conscience for the rest of their lives.

"None of them were in danger of dying, except for one mother-in-law who was seriously injured. Others had only minor burns and were fine. Qi Zhengning replied.

Shen frowned and asked, "Big brother, how could the inn catch fire?" Have the catchers found out why? ”

Qi Zhengning replied, "The specific cause of the fire is an accident or arson." The investigation is still ongoing, and the results are not yet known. ”

Shen nodded slightly, and his mood did not clear up because of this news.

She was just thinking. If Saburo gets this news, he must be very sad.

Maybe she will secretly complain about her in her heart, if she hadn't invited the Bai family to deal with this matter, how could Bai Lian's mother and daughter have an accident?

Qi Miao lowered her eyes and groaned.

This matter is strange inside and out.

So many people live in the inn. Why did only Bailian's mother and daughter die. And the others were only slightly injured, which is also a coincidence.

She rolled her eyes slightly, and asked Qi Zhengning, "Uncle, where was the most seriously injured mother-in-law in our house when the fire started?" Why is she the only one who is the most injured? ”

Qi Zhengning shook his head, "I didn't ask about this, and the catchers didn't say it clearly." After all, their original purpose was just to capture Bai Lian, and now Bai Lian is dead. The case is over.

As for the cause of the fire in the inn, this is another case, and they have been handed over to the local government to deal with, if we want to know the details, we can go to the Chenzhou Mansion to find out. ”

These news were all said by the catchers who witnessed the incident, and he did not know the specific matters.

He didn't dare to determine whether what the catchers said was true or false.

Although they dare not lie, the world is unpredictable, and who knows which is true and which is false?

Qi Miao sighed.

Chengzhou Mansion is nearly two hundred miles away from the capital, and the Bai family really doesn't dare to delay on the road these days.

It's a long way to go, and it's not easy to hear the news.

Maybe she has too deep prejudices about Bailian's mother and daughter, and she is not at all steady, she always feels that this matter is not so simple, and she needs to see the facts to rest assured.

Qi Miao didn't say what she really thought in public.

Ma Shi let out a long sigh, and said in a somewhat heavy voice, "This is their life, and they did it themselves, and they can't complain about others."

They have ended up here, and they can be regarded as making up for the mistakes they made before, people die like lights going out, and all hatred is gone, so don't mention these things in the future.

It's all gone, the third daughter-in-law, take good care of the third child, don't tell him about this matter for the time being, so that he won't be confused again. ”

These words are said to persuade others, but they are actually comforting herself.

She believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Now that Bai Lian and the Yao family have become invisible and untouchable ghosts, she is a little afraid that they will come to her to settle accounts, so she puts all the blame on them and leaves herself clean.

"Yes, I know." Shen nodded in response.

Sighed again in my heart.

Even her mother-in-law thinks so, so it can be seen that Saburo would really be sad if she knew about it.

Qi Miao went out of the eastern room and found that the gloomy sky was full of snowflakes again.

The snowflakes were very thin and sparse, and they quickly dissolved into nothing when they fell to the ground, leaving only a trace of damp water.

With something in mind, on the way back to Begonia Garden with her mother, Qi Miao remained silent.

"Miao'er, what's wrong with you?" Shen asked with concern.

Qi Miao looked sideways at her mother and asked, "Mother, what do you think about the death of Bailian's mother and daughter in the fire?" ”

Shen sighed, "How can I say it, they used to be alive, jumping up and down every day, and I hate to destroy them."

But now that they're dead, I feel a little guilty in my heart, thinking that if I had been more broad-minded, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

If they had been convicted by the government office and then punished, I might not have felt so uncomfortable, but they had died in an accident, and that was a bit unpleasant. ”

After speaking, she asked her daughter again, "Miao'er, will you dislike your mother's soft-heartedness and uselessness?" ”

Qi Miao smiled slightly, "Of course not, your thoughts are human nature, this may be the softest emotion in our hearts."

Even if they are hated enemies, if they really die, we will not gain joy, but melancholy and sorrow, thinking that if they had not done that, they would not have ended up like this. ”

"Hehe, it's good that you can understand my mother. I'm worried you'll laugh at it. Shen smiled softly.

"Mother, don't you think this matter is a little strange?" Qi Miao asked again.

"yes, I think it's a little weird, too. Why is there nothing wrong with others, but something happened to their mother and daughter. Shen also nodded.

"Mother, let's go to Mingyue Pavilion, I want to discuss something with you." Qi Miao made a decisive decision.

Shen didn't ask what was the matter, so he went to Mingyue Pavilion with her.

Right now, Qi Zhengzhi is recuperating in Begonia Garden, which is indeed not a good place to discuss things.

Entering the room, Qi Miao's body was wrapped in warmth. I couldn't help but squint my eyes in comfort.

The mother and daughter sat down, and Xia Shuang immediately ordered the little maids to serve fragrant tea and snacks, and then took them out of the house. Personally guarded outside the curtain.

"Mother, I want to go to Chenzhou Mansion." Without waiting for Shen to ask, Qi Miao directly said his thoughts.

"Nope." Shen Shi refused directly without thinking about it, and put down the teacup in his hand. Said. "Chenzhou Mansion is too far away, and it is snowing again, and the road is difficult, so my mother is not at ease."

Qi Miao pursed her lips and said very seriously, "Mother, don't worry, I will ride forward with Sister Qin Si." Go fast and go back quickly. The snow had just fallen, and it would take time for the snow to accumulate on the road. So it's too early.

Mother, that incident is too strange, if I don't go to Chenzhou to find out in person, I will always be uneasy.

If you wait for the results of the government office, I don't know when, not to mention that the Bai family and a few mothers-in-law are still recuperating over there, no matter what, their injuries are caused by us, I will go to see them for my mother, it is really right. ”

The last reason made Shen's decision begin to waver.

Yes, the Bai family is still injured there.

If you don't know, it's just that you know that they are injured and ignore them, so you can't make sense of it.

But the Shen family was most worried about Qi Miao's safety.

She wanted to accompany Qi Miao to go with her, but Qi Zhengzhi was injured and needed to be taken care of, and she couldn't let him know about it for the time being. If she went out, she would definitely make him suspicious.

Qi Miao, who knew her mother very well, saw that her mother was beginning to waver, and said, "Mother, if you are still not at ease, let the two sisters Baosheng and Chun'er also accompany me, how about it?" ”

Baosheng and Chun'er are not only not weak, but also have the most clever horseback riding skills, with them by their side, not only the mother is relieved, but she is also more down-to-earth.

This is the first time she has left her mother's arms and gone away alone, so it is always right to think about it.

Shen knew that her daughter was determined to go this time, and she was relieved to be accompanied by these people, but it was not complete.

Qi Miao said again, "If you don't agree, I'll go out secretly, don't look for me then." ”

Under her combination of soft and hard, Shen finally had to nod and agree, and went to Songhe Courtyard to tell Ma about it.

However, Shen's reason was, "I invited several people from the Bai family, and the four mothers-in-law were sent out by me, and they have all followed me for many years, and now that this has happened, I am always at ease if I don't go to see it in person."

It's just that San Lang's body hasn't healed yet, so I can't rest assured, so I asked Miao'er to go for me. Miao'er is not too young, but let her take this opportunity to experience. ”

"Well, it's okay to go, but you can't be sloppy about safety along the way, the fifth girl is a girl's family after all, if something happens, it will affect the reputation of the entire Anning Hou Mansion." Ma said.

Speaking from the heart, she really doesn't care much about Qi Miao's safety.

All she was worried about was whether it would affect the Hou Mansion and whether it would smear her face.

has long been accustomed to Ma's coldness, and Shen doesn't mind what she says at all, as long as he nods in agreement.

After Shen left Songhe Courtyard, he went to Mingyue Pavilion again.

Qi Miao and Qin Si had already changed their clothes and were ready to set off at any time.

"It's cold outside, wear thicker, take a carriage out of the house, and then go to Tongjiekou to find Uncle Hu and ask him to help you choose a few good horses......" Shen straightened his clothes with Qi Miao and told him carefully.

After the exhortation was finished, Shen took some silver tickets and broken silver, and asked Qi Miao and Qin Sier to put them away separately.

Before leaving the house, the Shen family repeatedly told Baosheng and Chun'er that they must protect Qi Miao.

Under Shen's worried eyes, Qi Miao and the four of them left the Anning Hou Mansion. (To be continued......)
