Chapter Twenty-Three: The Moonlight Is Covered by Fire
The fire started in the same place.
Pei Yaowei stood outside the courtyard, looking at the sky-high fire and the house that was about to be reduced to ruins in an instant, and secretly clenched his fists.
From hearing the news of the fire to when she ran back, in less than a cup of tea, a good house burned like this, what does this mean?
At the very least, someone deliberately set the fire.
“…… Girl! Girl...... Are you alright? When she heard the news, she rushed from the back kitchen, and when she saw her standing outside the yard in a dignified manner, her hanging heart finally let go.
Pei Yaowei patted her hand to appease, but her eyes were fixed on the crowded courtyard, and there was no news from Yu Xu and Yu Zhi, who were supposed to be in the room.
The guards who were ordered to guard her arrived at this time, but the fire was too big, and the chief of the guards led the people to rush twice, but they were forced to retreat.
The fireworks choked her with tears.
Tear Qing persuaded: "Girl, it's too chaotic here, you better go to the front first, the slave maid is waiting here for the news of Yu Zhi and Yu Xu!" ”
Pei Yaowei shook her head.
These two maids, although they don't like her, but after all, they have been together for so long, and she can't not care about them.
Seeing her insistence, Tear Qing couldn't do it, so she had to stay aside.
Who would have set the fire? Xiao Di?
Could it be that Xiao Di saw that the marriage was difficult at the moment, so he simply didn't do anything, and took advantage of the fact that she was in Zhaoye Temple and neglected to protect her, so he wanted to kill her directly?
Pei Yaowei came up with this idea, but in an instant, he denied it.
No, she thought, if it was really Xiao Di, why did he come here in person tonight? If you are seen, won't you tell the truth and make a feud with your family? What's more, he was with him when the fire broke out, and there was no reason for him to let his subordinates cause such an obstacle knowing that he was not in the room.
If it's not Xiao Di, then who would want to live together......
She was thinking about it, but a woman's delicate voice came from behind her: "Is it the fourth girl from the Jiyang County Mansion?" ”
Pei Yao turned around and saw a little girl standing there looking at her, petite and exquisite, as beautiful as dew, very incompatible with this fierce fire.
Tear Qing protected her and asked vigilantly, "Who is the girl?" ”
Instant Yu smiled and blessed her body to Yao: "The girl is polite, the slave maid is from the Chu Palace, my Royal Highness invites the girl of the Xiang family to talk about it." ”
Pei Yao frowned.
When he ran back by himself, Xiao Di didn't come with him, but at this time he sent someone over to invite him, thinking that he must have a good intention, but he ......
She stopped the tears that were about to speak in surprise, and said to the instantaneous rain: "Suddenly suffered a disaster, the life and death of the servant and maid are unknown, the little girl may not be able to obey her fate, in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I also asked the girl to apologize and accuse on her behalf." ”
Instant Rain glanced casually into the flames, and when she turned around, she was still smiling: "What the girl doesn't know, it just so happens that my Royal Highness knows." ”
Pei Yao's face changed.
Instant Rain asked, "Now, is the girl willing to go with the slave?" ”
Outside the Zhaoye Temple, a carriage stopped under the long steps, and one or two sobs came from inside the car from time to time.
Xiao Di stood not far away, looking at the firelight in the sky, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely deep.
Wei Chaoyang took care of everything and came over to reply to him: "Your Highness, the sister-in-law who set the fire has been monitored, and now you want to take people?" ”
Xiao Di shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's just a tiger, just keep an eye on it, protect her from death." ”
Wei Chaoyang clenched his fists and took the order: "My subordinates understand." ”
Over there, a sound of small footsteps gradually approached, and Yu Chaoyang looked up, and saw several women walking down the long steps, and the one leading the way was Instant Rain.
"Your Highness!" In front of Xiao Di, Pei Yao hurriedly blessed her body and asked eagerly, "...... the two maids of the little girl?" ”
Xiao Di took his eyes off her and raised his chin towards the carriage not far away.
