The black smoke was thick above the Twilight Snow Courtyard, and then I heard someone running and saying, "Go to the water!" Come and put out the fire! ”

The lights were lit up one after another, and the figures around the temple were scattered, and the shouts of the mother-in-law, the sound of water splashing on the ground from the bucket, and the chaotic footsteps were mixed together, and it was extremely noisy.

Everyone in the Wang family's house was alarmed, Lin Yu'an was lying on the bed and did not fall asleep, and vaguely heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming upstairs.

Qiu Nu got up in his clothes and met the figure like a red tasseled wind: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Hongying stopped and gasped: "Yin Xiaoniang's Dusk Snow Courtyard in the East Cross Courtyard has gone to the water, and the steward is concerned, the matter has not been clarified, so let the girls be careful!"

Lin Yu'an couldn't lie down, and sat up in the clothes she was wearing, causing the azure light gauze bed tent to keep swaying, she looked at the gilt hollow incense beads hanging on the bed curtain with a blank expression, and smelled a faint rose fragrance on the tip of her nose.

Hongying stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Lin Yu'an's eyes, looking worried: "What's wrong with the girl?"

Lin Yu'an came back to her senses, and saw that Qiu Nu and Hongying were looking at her with wide eyes and a worried face, she couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine, just let the little maids in the yard be careful, the Wang family will have people patrolling the night at night, and there shouldn't be any major incidents."

Hongying responded, turned around and went downstairs, to tell the mother-in-law to be more vigilant.

The old lady, the Yu family and the Wei family, as well as Wang Zhongde and Wang Zhongjun, all arrived at the Dusk Snow Courtyard, the fire had been extinguished, but the weather was dry and dry, and a small piece of Xianlan Garden, which was only separated by a wall from the Dusk Snow Courtyard, was also burned.

Fortunately, it was only burned in the ear room, and the main house could still be lived, Xu Wanyin was fine, but Yin Xiaoniang was nowhere to be found.

When Wang Yuanbai heard the news, his shoes were worn backwards, and when he came to the Dusk Snow Courtyard, the elders were standing in the courtyard, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he stepped forward and shouted to Mrs. Wang: "Grandmother, where is my little mother?"

When Wang Zhongde saw his son, he lowered his head and patted him on the shoulder, Yu coughed violently a few times, and Qian's mother said, "Madam is still sick, why don't you go back and rest!"

No one paid attention to their master and servant, and in silence, Yu said goodbye to Mrs. Wang with a calm face, ignoring Wang Zhongde at all.

Wang Yuanbai didn't bother to salute Yu's family, and seeing that no one answered him, he grabbed a middle-aged servant woman in coarse cloth clothes: "Where is my little lady?"

The servant woman who was caught shook her head again and again: "Second brother, we didn't see Yin Xiaoniang when we came over, and I don't know if I came out."

Wang Yuanbai cried out as soon as he said "wow", and his voice was deafening.

Wang Zhongde couldn't help frowning, and Old Madam Wang said in a deep voice: "Enough! What a howl, live to see people, dead to see corpses, people have not been found, what do you look like. ”

Listening to the undisguised disgust in his grandmother's words, Wang Yuanbai's voice suddenly stopped, and turned to just crying in a low voice.

He wondered in his heart, shouldn't his grandmother and grandmother be grateful for his love for his mother? Why did he still scold him, he scratched his head, and gradually stopped crying.

After a pillar of incense, two stout mothers-in-law escorted a woman whose clothes could not be seen to be colored.

Old Madam Wang had already returned to Yiranju, obviously not wanting to take care of this matter, Wei looked at Yin Xiaoniang who was being escorted.

The mother-in-law who escorted her back explained: "Yin Xiaoniang we found at the back door, it seems that she wants to leave the house."

When Wei Shi heard this, his eyes moved: "What are you doing, the concubines have signed a deed of sale, if you really run away today, you will be beaten to death!"

Yin Xiaoniang was unmoved, her eyes were as lifeless as dead fish eyes, she hung her head and didn't say anything, looking like you love it, anyway, I just don't open my mouth.

Seeing this, Wei couldn't help but be angry, and said patiently: "You don't want to be for yourself, you should also think about your own pair of children, Sister Rui'er's marriage date has been set, just on the twenty-second of next month, Brother Bai studied hard, and next year he will end up with Brother Song, you have children and daughters, what else is not satisfied."

After listening to Wei's words, Yin Xiaoniang's eyes had a hint of brightness, and Wei knew that it was his own words that worked, and continued: "If I guessed correctly, you deliberately set the house on fire and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, right?"

A look of fear appeared in Yin Xiaoniang's eyes, she shook her head and nodded, she wanted to say that this fire was indeed set by herself, but she didn't want to escape, she didn't know how she would go to the back door, and no one caught her along the way.

She didn't speak, Wei took her as a default, but Yin Xiaoniang suddenly tried hard to break free from the two mothers-in-law who grabbed her, the two mothers-in-law didn't dare to push too hard, Yin Xiaoniang used too much force, fell to the ground, and her elbow grinded out blood.

"I didn't, I didn't run away, I just wanted to find my brother Bai'er, find my sister Rui'er......"

Wang Zhongde saw Yin Xiaoniang's embarrassed appearance, and there was a disgusting stench on his body, he asked Wei Shi to help watch it under the pretext of something, and then turned around and walked out of the Dusk Snow Courtyard.

There was a green-clothed maid standing under the tree on the side of the road outside the Dusk Snow Courtyard, Wang Zhongde glanced at her, and she happened to look over, and suddenly trotted towards him with her skirt in her face, looking a little nervous.

Wang Zhongde took a closer look at her, and remembered that she wasn't the maid who helped Wanyin's cousin Bucai when she was in Yiranju two days ago?

He stood in place expressionlessly, Xia Rong knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "Second master, please give some scald medicine to Miss Xu!"

"What's wrong with her?"

Xia Rong wiped a handful of tears: "Miss Xu, a piece of jade pendant left for her by her mother was put in the ear room, the ear room was burned by fire, Miss Xu ignored the fire, rushed in to get the jade pendant, but was hit by a piece of falling wood, and a large piece of bubbles was burned, Miss Xu didn't want the old lady to worry, so she didn't ...... Didn't say. ”

When Wang Zhongde heard this, he felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he was grateful for Xu Wanyin's filial piety, and his voice couldn't help but soften a little: "I'll let someone get you medicine, and Ming'er will let the doctor take a look."

Xia Rong thanked her again and again, with tears in her eyes.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he almost blurted out that he wanted to go to see Xu Wanyin, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought that it was already late at night, and it was inconvenient to go too much at this time, so he stopped this thought.

In the second half of the night, the Wang family finally quieted down, and the Dusk Snow Courtyard was burned to ruins.

Yin Xiaoniang fainted with emotion, and was placed in the back room of the East Cross Courtyard where the next person lived, because it was already very late, Wei decided to send someone to clean up the Dusk Snow Courtyard early tomorrow morning.

Lin Yu'an lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, as for what the reason, she was a little surprised, because she dreamed of ...... last night Yu Jia.

Since that day, she has not been to Doushuge again, nor has she seen Yu Jia again, although she was very calm when Hongying told her about the Duchess of Rongguo coming to propose marriage to Yu Jia, but the throbbing in her heart could not deceive people.

The crisis is gone, Qiu Nu and Hongying perform their duties, those who should be on duty continue to be on duty at night, and those who should sleep go back to sleep.

Lin Yu'an lay on the bed with his limbs wide open, letting his mind run wild.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that marrying Yu Jia is not a bad thing.

At least for her current situation, marrying Yu Jia, at least she can escape from the Wang family, the Longtan tiger's den, Wang Xuanrui's movement is now restricted, and Yin Xiaoniang is also hit hard, so she can take a breath.

But I thought that I might be able to fight with the Yu family in the future, after all, I and Wang Xuanyao are of the same age, and when I say goodbye in the future, my grandmother will be a little towards herself, and the Yu family will also face Wang Xuanyao...... Instead of this, it is better to marry Yu Jia.

She didn't dare to completely trust anyone, but as long as she married a regular wife and lived a life with respect for Yu Jia, it was indeed a good choice.
