To everyone's surprise, in less than two quarters of an hour, the fire gradually subsided.

In the end, only sporadic small fires were left outside the yard, which was not burning, so there was no cause for concern.

"How so?" Zhou Ruyu was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall.

And the others also looked at Shi Qingxue curiously, wondering what method she used at this time to really extinguish everyone in a short period of time?

Shi Qingxue looked at the environment of the ancestral hall as soon as the fire weakened, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Only then did he explain: "I just ordered someone to bring sand and gravel to separate a firebreak to protect the ancestral hall, and then sprinkle sand on the fire, so that the fire can be extinguished repeatedly." ”

"How did you come up with the idea of using sand to extinguish fires?" The helpers that Mama Luo found before were pouring basins of water into the fire, which was extremely inefficient.

It's the first time Mo Shujun has heard of someone using sand and gravel to extinguish a fire, and the effect is terrifying!

The fire was under control, and Shi Qingxue really became comfortable, and the corners of her eyes were also dyed with smiles, and the whole person looked more dazzling.

"This is still one of Qingxue's ...... Friends Teach ...... He said that the grass is under the mud, and the water will seep down quickly, but the sand and gravel can cover the fire and cover the fire, and the fire strip can control the direction of the fire, so that the fire can be extinguished quickly. ”

When talking about friends, a trace of discomfort flashed on Shi Qingxue's face.

But everyone didn't care, but suddenly realized, and when they looked at it again, Qingxue's eyes became a little different. It seems that they haven't understood why a spoiled lady who didn't know the world not long ago has such wisdom.

Shi Qingxue didn't look at everyone's expressions, and she didn't notice that Youdao's eyes had been staring at her since she mentioned 'friend'.

She only changed her words, and suddenly asked Mama Luo: "Mama Luo, since you said that you never set foot in the ancestral hall easily, how did you know that the ancestral hall was on fire?" ”

Mama Luo was suddenly asked, and was stunned for a long time before she remembered the lines she had prepared early in the morning, and replied: "The old slaves were guarding the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, and suddenly saw smoke coming out of the ancestral hall. The old slave hurriedly arranged for someone to extinguish the fire, and at the same time rushed to report to the princess! ”

This is a reasonable statement, and it is very appropriate.

Shi Qingxue then asked: "So who did you see set the fire?" ”

"Not yet. When the old slaves entered, the house was already on fire, and they didn't see anyone inside. Mama Luo replied calmly.

Shi Qingxue narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "If things are really as you said, the ancestral hall is sealed all around, and it only takes a moment from the time the smoke starts until you enter the house to check, how can the arsonist escape your eyes?" Unless ......"

She didn't finish her words, but it was enough for everyone to turn their suspicious eyes to Mama Luo.

Mama Luo didn't expect Shi Qingxue to be so thoughtful, and even took this little detail into account, where did she have the opportunity to pour dirty water on Dong Hui now, and even she couldn't figure it out.

She suddenly messed up, sweating all over her head, and couldn't help but turn her eyes to Shi Juncai for help: Third master! Didn't you tell me that this little ancestor was so difficult, how can this be good?

Shi Juncai was also surprised, but soon he put on the posture of an elder and said in a deep voice: "Sixth Niang, I know that you want to protect your mother, but Mama Luo has always done things in a decent manner and never made mistakes, how can you wronged Mama Luo without evidence in order to exonerate your mother." ”

The topic turned back to Dong Hui again, as if Dong Hui had already been convicted.

Shi Qingxue blinked, and asked innocently: "Qingxue doesn't understand the meaning of the third uncle's words?" Where is my mother's sin and I need to get rid of it? You keep saying that you can't wronged Mama Luo, but listen to what you mean, you have to convict your mother first? ”

Shi Juncai was choked up, and secretly said strange in his heart, Shi Qingxue has always been 'stupid', how can she be so eloquent today? He didn't know that Qingxue was never stupid, but just arrogant and self-controlled, and disdainful of arguing.

He didn't get a good deal, and he didn't dare to make trouble rashly, so he gave Mama Luo a hintive look and said, "I mean this thing always needs to be investigated." The fire in the ancestral hall for no reason can't be seen only by Mama Luo, right? ”

Mama Luo came to her senses, nodded again and again, and shouted injustice: "Liuniang, you have wronged the old slave!" What the old slave said is true, if Liuniang doesn't believe it, you can ask the three subordinates who went into the house with the old slave to check. ”

Shi Qingxue shouldn't ask rhetorically: "So, did you see the fire in the ancestral hall with your own eyes?" ”
