Chapter 196: Where is Shu'er
Usually, in dealing with Xie Shu's affairs, Old Madam Xie always drank harshly, and she used some unpopular means, but now that the situation is chaotic, she really has no idea at all now.
Xie Yue and Xie Lang have always had some fear of Xie Zhong, after all, Xie Zhong is a person who fights on the battlefield, and the ruthlessness and killing intent in his bones can't be concealed, and it pours out to make people's hearts tremble inexplicably.
They were teenagers and girls, and they had not been tempered by anything, just like flowers growing in a greenhouse, and they had not experienced the wind and rain, and the breath on Xie Zhong's body could make them feel afraid.
At this time, even their mother, who had always been calm and calm, was a little stunned at this moment, and it seemed that there were no words to say for a while.
Xie Ming had been entertaining everyone at the men's table, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became heavy.
Over the years, what they have done has been well concealed, and they have never shown their feet in front of his eldest brother, because his eldest brother has never been angry in front of them, but today there was an accident, and the eldest brother's daughter was trapped in the fire in the ancestral hall at this time, but they were here to eat and drink, laughing and laughing.
If Xie Shu had an accident today, or was hurt a little, then what Xie Zhong would have done, they couldn't imagine it.
A few of them, under the gaze of everyone, walked in front of Mrs. Xie, wanting to thank the old lady for her birthday, but I always felt that everyone's gaze seemed to be a little unusual and strange.
The people who fought on the battlefield naturally felt the strangeness in the eyes around them, Wen Qinghua was a woman after all, and she was naturally more sensitive than Xie Zhong, and she keenly smelled something unusual.
At this time, Xie Yan glanced at the juniors around him, but he didn't see his sister, so he asked, "Where is my sister, why isn't my sister on my grandmother's birthday?"
As soon as Xie Yan's words were asked, the eyes around him became even more weird.
After being reminded by his son, Xie Zhong and Wen Qinghua also found out at this time that Xie Yue and Xie Lang were there, except for the concubine in the second room, only their daughter Xie Shu was not at the table, and it was a little unreasonable for Xie Shu to be absent on the birthday of the old lady Xie.
Xie Zhong's heart sank immediately, and he asked with a smile on his face and doubts: "Mother, where is Shu'er? Why is Shu'er not at the table, where is she going?"
Old Madam Xie couldn't find anything to answer Xie Zhong at this time, they heard that the ancestral hall was out of water, they didn't react at all, and they didn't think that Xie Shu was still trapped in it, Zheng Ling said, immediately went to find the guards, and went to the ancestral hall to take a look at the situation.
Although Zheng Ling said this, she didn't put it into action immediately, and she kept entertaining the ladies in the face, and all the people in the second room didn't care at all, but hastily arranged some guards to go to the ancestral hall to fight the fire.
At this time, a female voice suddenly interjected, "General Xie, it's just the right time for you to come back, Miss Xie San is still trapped in the ancestral hall because the ancestral hall is out of water!"
The person who spoke was Xie Shu's desk in the academy, Yi Daiqiu, and she looked extremely angry, but she was actually upset by what Xie Shu had encountered today.
Yi Daiqiu is also the daughter of the family, a Wenchen family, but the treatment with Xie Shu is very different, it is simply one in the sky and the other in the ground.
Today's situation, Yi Daiqiu Mo said that he wanted to encounter it, that is, he accidentally stumbled on the side of the house on weekdays, and there were a large number of people who cared about her all the time, this Xie Shu encountered such a situation, these people in the second room were obviously indifferent, walking in the water was not a trivial matter at all, and if you were not careful, you might die.
The people of Xie Mansion didn't take this matter to heart at all, whether Old Madam Xie's birthday was important, or human life was important, in the eyes of these people in Xie Mansion, it seemed that Xie Shu's life was not worth anything at all.
Originally, she had an inexplicable good impression of Xie Shu, which was completely different from other nobles in Kyoto, and at this moment, Xie Shu was in such a dangerous situation, so she found an opportunity to come forward.
Since these people treated Xie Shu like this, then she helped Xie Shu, these people were so ruthless, she explained everything that happened to Xie Shu's father, and took a good look at how the people in Xie Mansion treated their baby daughter.
Yi Daiqiu deliberately said this indignantly to Xie Zhong and his wife, and the whole person was extremely happy.
Xie Zhong and Wen Qinghua heard Yi Daiqiu's words, and their expressions changed.
At this time, on Mrs. Xie's birthday, Xie Shu was not there, Xie Shu was in the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall was still in the water, and Xie Shu was trapped in the fire of the ancestral hall.
However, when they came back, the scene they saw was that Xie Shu was now trapped in the fire of the ancestral hall, and the relatives were still changing the wine at the banquet, laughing and laughing, how could it not be chilling.
Zheng Ling's originally stunned expression came back to her senses at this time, and she said anxiously: "Big brother and sister-in-law, you came back at the right time, I was just about to rush to the ancestral hall and let the guards go to fight the fire......
Before Zheng Ling's next words were finished, her voice stopped abruptly.
Why is this so?
It's just that because of Xie Zhong's eyes, that look is terrifying, frightening, and terrifying, and makes people scared from the bottom of their hearts.
Xie Zhong didn't say anything, nor did he listen to her explanation, and immediately rushed in the direction of the ancestral hall.
After a while, Wen Qinghua and Xie Yan also reacted, followed Xie Zhong closely, and ran in the direction of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the fire in the ancestral hall is getting bigger and bigger, more and more fierce, the pillars have begun to burn, and even the beams of the house have begun to slowly catch fire.
Xie Shu stood quietly in the firelight, as if she did not feel a trace of discomfort because of the hot heat, she was very calm, as if she was standing in the wind and sunshine.
I saw that she took out the wet cloth that she had prepared to cover her mouth and nose, so that the billowing thick smoke and dust did not enter her nose, so that she choked, and the action was done comfortably and leisurely, as if she usually smelled something, and covered her nose slightly.
Qin Minzhi has been sitting on the big tree outside the window of the ancestral hall, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and he looks at Xie Shu in the ancestral hall with great interest, surrounded by firelight, this little girl is really ......
Now that the fire is so big, Xie Shu is still unmoved, maybe she really wants to bury her life in this fire, no matter how she looks at it, it doesn't look like a stupid thing she would do.
