When Ruan Ying returned to the courtyard, he found that the courtyard was bright, and then he remembered that the candlelight was lit when he left. But now it seems that the oil candle didn't know where it was contaminated before it lit the fire. The fire didn't seem to be very big now, so she hurried over. The girls in the backyard of the middle courtyard didn't know about it at all, Ruan Ying didn't allow them to get close to the front yard for half a step on weekdays, so they were only idle in the backyard of the middle courtyard, and all they had to do every day was only one or two clothes for the master.

Ruan Ying anxiously wanted to step in, but as soon as he entered, he saw the puddle of Xiaobei's blood on the ground in front of the threshold, and his heart hurt indescribably. She took a step backwards suddenly, but tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground. The fire came from the cushion next to the tub, and she looked at the fire that was now gaining momentum, and her eyes were full of the dazzling and beating flames. She suddenly unbuttoned her robe, leaving only a tunic and a shawl, and then jerked herself up and threw it into the flames.

"Burn it, burn it clean, don't leave anything behind. The tears in the corners of her eyes were reddened by the flames. There is also Xiaobei's corpse, she suddenly recalled that she met Mrs. Guo when she went to Lin Mansion Doctor with Xiaobei in her arms, which caused her to lose her original mood of wanting to take Xiaobei back to the courtyard first, and put her in the original wing, and she went to Muyin Pavilion to seek revenge in a hurry.

She turned away from the burning room, and made a secret decision in her heart. In the backyard, she walked past a few frighteningly quiet rooms, and the group of maids slept soundly. She walked to this remote small room in the corner, this is the place where she once rescued the dying Xiaobei, but now, it has also become her last home. Ruan Ying picked her up again and gently walked towards the front yard. There was still no sound in these rooms, and I am afraid that no one was aware of it yet.

When she returned to the front yard, there was a real fire in the front yard. Ruan Ying looked down at the blood that had coagulated on Xiaobei's wound in his arms, and a miserable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She saw that the sky-high fire had already engulfed this courtyard, and it was difficult to control the five extremely boring years she spent with Xiaobei here, but fortunately, with Xiaobei, she was able to use the meager support that her brother could give in this Dongqi to cultivate Mu Yin Pavilion and Sedum Tower to grow stronger. It's a pity that when she wanted to repay Xiaobei the most, she died. There was still a request in her eyes for the future that she was going to make, and she wanted to marry the brother she had known since childhood in the countryside, but before she could agree, she was stabbed in the heart and lost her breath.

She walked into the threshold where the flames burned to a height of almost one person, feeling the hot breath rolling through the tip of her nose, she looked at the flames and laughed, "Xiaobei, in this room, I have never had you as a maid. If you die, don't worry that I'll forget you because of others, at least in this room, my only maid is you. I will calculate this account for you, Wei Changxiao's account, at least one life is worth one life. ”

Ruan Ying turned around and hurriedly ran to the lady's courtyard, and Mrs. Guo at this end was able to sleep peacefully for a while, and was woken up by Ruan Ying's desperate knock on the door and the dissuasion of the maid.

Mrs. Guo loosened her eyes and slowly got up and dressed, but when she saw Ruan Bozhi, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Guo turned over and got out of bed, opened the door and scolded, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

The maid saw that Madame's attitude towards the third young lady was very bad, so she hurriedly added, "Madam, I also said the same thing to the third young lady." ”

Ruan Ying took advantage of the fact that they were beside him, and then she brewed a good mood and cried, "Mother, Ying'er's yard is on fire, please ask my mother to support the servants to help me." ”

This sentence stunned Mrs. Guo, who was originally faintly angry, and surprised Ruan Bozhi, who was careless and half-dozing. "Qingbi, go find Mother Zhao, Mother Li called someone to put out the fire, quickly. Then she glanced at Ruan Ying fiercely, "Ruan Ying, do you know that your room has a lot of good things that the Hou Ye and I have rewarded you, why did you let her go crazy so carelessly?

Ruan Ying's face was frightened, but secretly the corners of his lips were secretly hooked. "Mother, let's go put out the fire first. "

Mrs. Guo looked like she hated iron, and hurriedly walked towards the other end of Ruan Ying's courtyard, Ruan Bozhi also walked out with a cold face, obviously hearing Ruan Ying's words, she turned her head directly to follow Mrs. Guo's steps without even looking at it.

Ruan Ying looked at the couple's backs, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Mother, if you don't ask you to have some blood, how can you always remember Xiaobei?"

The fire was only small at dawn, and the servants were exhausted and constantly carrying and pouring water. Ruan Bozhi listened to Mrs. Guo's incessant nagging, and read the list of accounts one by one, what might be lost if this courtyard was burned.

Ruan Bozhi looked at it carefully, his eyes were gloomy, he turned his head and beckoned Ruan Ying to come over, "Ruan Ying, there are so many maids in your courtyard, why do you only need a personal maid? You see, if you weren't obstinate, so willful, how could you provoke today?"

Ruan Ying lowered her head slightly, if it was not her who was standing in front of him now, but Ruan Ying, a girl who was really inferior and sensitive, she was afraid that she would have felt sad because of Ruan Bozhi's actions. As a father, the first thing he cared about was the loss caused to him by the entire yard, and he retreated to the second, and he never thought of the daughter in front of him who was related by blood. She calmly raised her eyes, there was no light in them, "Father, the fire is almost gone. There is a fine jade in it, and if my father does not dislike it, I am willing to give it to my father. ”

"Ying'er, what are you talking about?, where did you get the jade?" Ruan Bozhi was obviously interested, and his tone was very kind.

Ruan Ying's eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Mrs. Guo coming out of the room choking on a cigarette, and saw Ruan Ying's eyes on her, and her eyes couldn't help but stare at her. At this time, the genius was cloudy, and there was a little chill in the air. Mrs. Guo was a little uncomfortable stared at by this kind of gaze, and turned her head to call the servant behind her to come out.

"Mother, please slow down. Ruan Ying walked towards her with a smile.

Mrs. Guo's tone was not very good, "What do you want to mess up again?"

Ruan Ying smiled smartly, "Mother, I have a jade artifact under this bed, please ask my mother to call someone to lift the wooden board under the bed, remove the stones inside, and you can see a mahogany box." This jade is not simple, it is an item that my mother gave me, I have always treasured it, but I was bitter that Xiaobei hid it too deeply, and asked my mother to help me take it out. ”

Mrs. Guo had a cold face, she didn't want to help her with this. I saw Ruan Bozhi also walking towards here, and said softly, "Ying'er asked you to do a little favor, and you can help her." ”

Ruan Ying evoked a faint smile at her, Mrs. Guo didn't even bother to pay attention, turned her head to the servant behind her, "Did you hear what Hou Ye and Third Miss said?" ”

Mrs. Guo watched coldly as the attendant opened the bed board layer by layer, her face was gloomy. The mahogany box was quickly removed, covered in a thick cloud of dust. Mrs. Guo turned her eyes to look out of the door with disdain, but Ruan Ying curled the corners of her lips.

The treasure in this mahogany box was not something she could despise. This is a good thing from the Xiao Guifei in the Great Song Palace. The attendants carefully took it out, and it was a piece of jade the size of a palm, butterfly jade. Xiao Guifei is good at dancing with butterflies, so the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty named eighty-eight craftsmen, and it took a month to create a lifelike jade butterfly for her. The pattern on this head is distinct, and the unique spots of butterflies are also clearly visible, just talking about this jade, it is also a rare good jade in the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with this exquisite carving, how could Ruan Bozhi not be tempted?

Sure enough, as soon as Ruan Bozhi saw this jade, he greeted him. From a distance, it is surrounded by a deep luster, and it is also quite weighty when you look at it up close. Ruan Bozhi touched this pattern in amazement, it was really rare for jade to call him such a surprise.

Mrs. Guo saw that Ruan Ying's face seemed to be expressionless on the side, and Ruan Ying also felt Mrs. Guo's gaze towards this, and deliberately lowered her eyes slightly to show her reluctance to contribute this treasure. Mrs. Guo was secretly happy because she was smart, thinking that she had caught this little action, and she was even more happy when she saw this jade. What she Ruan Ying is reluctant to give up is really rare.
