But in any case, this is good, after all, living under the same roof, you still have to live in harmony to be happy.

In this way, Song Qian responded: "Okay, prince. Then the maiden will go now, and when it is ready, she will beckon you to eat."

"It's hard work Song Niangzi." Ji Changye nodded, and then watched Song Qian's figure leave and walk towards the kitchen.

Changfeng had already selected people and took them to Xu Zhengde's house as soon as possible.

I didn't want to smell the pungent smell of smoke before I could get to the place.

Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little strange, and when he saw some villagers running in the direction of that side with water, he stopped one of them and asked, "What happened? Isn't that Xu Zhengde's house over there?"

The villagers seemed very anxious, but they still answered Changfeng's question: "It was Xu Zhengde's house that caught fire, the fire was very big, if we don't put it out in time, our whole village will be over." I won't tell you yet, we're going to put out the fire." So saying, he carried the barrel and ran with the crowd in that direction.

After hearing that it was really Xu Zhengde's house that had an accident, Changfeng looked anxious to help, but before leaving, he didn't forget to call someone to report to Ji Changye.

But when Changfeng and the villagers extinguished the fire, the grass house had been burned down, and Xu Zhengde and Pei Ying were nowhere to be seen, only a dusty and hobbled old man was helped out.

Song Qian and Ji Changye were waiting for Changfeng to come back and eat together, and they didn't want to wait for the news of the accident at Xu Zhengde's house first.

"Yuanbao, you and the prince of Jin obediently eat at home, after eating, just put the dishes and chopsticks there, and wait for us to come back." If someone knocks on the door, don't open it, you know? My mother will be back soon." Song Qian instructed the two of them uncomfortably before getting into the carriage.

Knowing that something happened made Song Qian anxious, so Yuan Bao comforted her and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry, Ah Jin and I will be at home obediently." Be careful when you go, and come back safely."

"Song Niangzi, they are not going to do anything dangerous. Song Niangzi, Brother Ji, you can go with confidence, I will take care of the ingots, you go quickly, things must be in a hurry." and Yu Jin echoed beside him.

Seeing that the two of them were so sensible, Song Qian also relieved himself, followed Ji Changye to the village in a carriage, and rushed to Xu Zhengde's house.

"Lord Wang, Song Niangzi, you are finally here." Changfeng was covered in dust and looked very tired, but when he saw the two of them, he still cheered up and greeted him, and his hanging heart was relaxed.

Song Qian calmed himself down, patted Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you can go back and rest first, just leave it to me here."

But Changfeng didn't move, he looked at Ji Changye, waiting for him to speak, until Ji Changye nodded to him with satisfaction, and Changfeng also showed a tired appearance and went to the carriage behind them.

Song Qian found Mother Xu sitting on a stone not far away, looking at her thin figure, Song Qian couldn't help but come over to comfort her in distress: "Cousin, it's windy here, let's go back first." Mother Xu was already in her last years, and it would definitely be bad for her health to toss in the fire for so long, so Song Qian wanted to take her to see Lang Zhong first to avoid any problems.

But at this time, Mother Xu's eyes were dull, as if her soul had been drained, and she muttered to herself like crazy: "It's gone, it's all gone, it's all burned, my son." At the end of the words, Xu Mu finally couldn't help crying, and the terrible cry resounded in the wind, and along with the ashes forged by the fire, it filled Song Qian's side.

"It's okay, don't cry, it's all over." Song Qian helped Xu's mother to prevent her from falling, and Ji Changye hurriedly stepped forward to help when he saw it, although Song Qian was a little surprised, he didn't stop him.

The two helped Xu's mother to the carriage, Song Qian asked Changfeng to take care of him first, and then came to the villagers who were about to leave after helping, and asked, "May I ask why there is a fire in Xu Zhengde's house?"

When a woman heard Song Qian's words, she stopped and looked at her and said, "Who are you? I look at you a little bit."

Although the village where Xu Zhengde's house is located is not far from Song Qian's village, they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, and they don't know each other

It's normal.

"Xu Zhengde is my cousin, we knew that he rushed over after the accident at home, but I didn't expect to be a step late. Fortunately, the old man has nothing to do, so he wants to ask what happened so that he can arrange the rest of the matter." Song Qian explained, at this time, she was eager to know.

Because she suspects that the fire in Xu Zhengde's house is definitely not that simple, and nine times out of ten it is related to those people.

After hearing this, the woman nodded, thinking that even if she said it, it would be fine, so she didn't doubt the truth of Song Qian's words, and told Song Qian what she knew: "Isn't this Xu Zhengde crazy? His daughter-in-law is not a serious person, she either calls or yells at Mrs. Xu, and she does not shy away from neighbors at all, and she is not filial at all. So it is estimated that God opened his eyes and took the two of them back, so as not to harm this old lady Xu again. But it's just that she suffered, at such an age, she has worked hard for half a lifetime, but she didn't expect Qingfu not to say anything, and then there was no one to talk to the coffin to send her to the end, it's really pitiful."

The woman shook her head with a sigh as she spoke, as if she really felt unfair for Mother Xu.

Although Song Qian felt that wicked people had evil retribution, she would definitely not believe it easily if she really let God punish her for taking people's lives. So she still suspects that there is something else hidden in this matter.

But she couldn't ask anything from the mouths of the villagers for some reason, so she gave up and thought that she would investigate it herself.

"Thank you, I won't waste your time. Thank you for your hard work today, and go back to rest." When Song Qian turned around and was about to go back to the carriage to see Xu's mother, the woman suddenly stopped her.

"You just said that this Xu Zhengde is your cousin, presumably you must be relatives not far from each other. Don't blame me for being too talkative, no matter what, relatives are always not estranged from each other, if you can help, help this old lady Xu, she is also pitiful, she doesn't even have a place to live and a son, and I don't know where to drink the northwest wind in the future."

Song Qian nodded hurriedly: "What you said is that she is my cousin, and I will definitely not ignore her, thank you very much."

The woman looked at Song Qianmian and didn't say anything anymore, and left here with the crowd.

Ji Changye watched not far away, and said to Song Qian, who came over, "Song Niangzi, how is it? Did you ask anything?"

Seeing Song Qian shaking his head in disappointment, Ji Changye knew it, so he comforted her and said, "Don't be too anxious, I will send someone to investigate this matter." No matter what, there will be a time when the water will come to light. Then Mrs. Xu, have you figured out how to arrange it? Otherwise, I will let Changfeng arrange a courtyard and let the old man live in it first, at least have a place to live."

As a prince, he naturally will not abandon the suffering people, so he will do his best to help her.

Song Qian nodded, and then said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Wang, it's windy and dusty here, don't get involved in the old disease."

"I'm fine, Mrs. Song, let's go see the old man first. Changfeng has a straight temperament, don't say anything to stimulate the elderly, I'll arrange it here."

Song Qian had this intention, so after hearing Ji Changye's words, he turned around and got into the carriage.

At this time, Xu Mu was still muttering to herself and sitting in the corner, as if she had not recovered from the fright.

Changfeng was a little at a loss on the side, and he couldn't even sit still when he was resting, for fear that he would scare the old man, but because of Ji Changye's order to let him take care of Xu's mother, he didn't dare to go down easily.

Thanks to Song Qian's coming, he saw hope, and when he just wanted to speak, he thought that Xu Mu was here, so he could lower his voice and say, "Song Niangzi, you can count it, my legs are numb."

Song Qian looked at him apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work, there are two more carriages, you go find one to rest well." I'll just come here, you go quickly, be careful."

"Thank you Lady Song." Changfeng hurriedly got out of the carriage after getting down, even though his legs were numb, he still moved quickly, for fear of alarming Xu's mother.

After Song Qian watched him leave, he came to Xu's mother's side and said softly, "Cousin, do you remember me?"

Xu Mu had eased up a lot at this time, and stopped after hearing Song Qian's voice

muttered to himself, then turned his head stiffly to look at her, and looked at her for a long time before squeezing out a few words: "The second one's."

Song Qian was very happy to see her recognize herself, and hurriedly responded, "It's my cousin, don't be afraid that I'm here."

When Mother Xu heard this, she couldn't help but cry, "My son! Why is our life so miserable! O my son! There's nothing left, leave *** what, I'm still dead!"

Saying that Mother Xu was about to rush out, Song Qian hurriedly stopped her to calm his emotions and said, "Cousin, don't worry, if you have anything to say, say it well. If you are like this, my cousin and sister-in-law will not be at ease when they see it in heaven. Don't worry, don't worry."

Through Song Qian's unremitting comfort, Mother Xu finally calmed down.

She thought about it carefully, and said intermittently, "I remember that I went to cook and make a fire, Pei Ying went back to sleep, and Zhengde said in the house that he wanted to go out to play, but I stopped him from going. Suddenly there was a fire in the kitchen, I remember when I went to stop Zhengde, there was no fire, but how did it catch fire? It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Hearing what Xu's mother described, Song Qian was even more sure that someone was making trouble behind this matter, so she comforted Xu's mother and said, "Don't blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, didn't you say that you didn't light the fire?"

"Then how did it suddenly catch fire? It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I killed Zhengde and Pei Ying, it's all me...... They're all gone, what are you going to do with me as an old woman, I might as well die!" Mother Xu blamed herself again, Song Qian couldn't help but feel more distressed when she looked at the white hair on her sideburns, and after some struggle, she made a decision.

Then she held Xu's mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't be homeless with me." Mother Xu didn't know why, so she was only sad now, and didn't listen to her words at all.

Song Qian got out of the carriage, and after seeing that Ji Changye was still outside, he said, "Lord Wang, I want to take the old man to live at home. She's so old, her legs and feet are not good, and now she's irritated, so if she lives with me, I can still take care of it, so that nothing happens."

Looking at Song Qian's anxious look, Ji Changye was a little surprised, and hurriedly replied: "Of course it's okay for Mrs. Song, you don't have to discuss with me what decisions you make, you can do whatever you want." If you need help, just ask. Now, let's send the old man's plane to Langzhong first, I've already asked someone to arrange it."

Song Qian was a little surprised that Ji Changye would do this.
