Xiao Yuankai wondered: "Why have you never heard of this person?"

The imperial doctor kindly explained his doubts: "It's normal that you have never heard of him. Xiaoyao Gong travels all year round. No one even in the Taiyuan Hospital has seen his face."

After Xiao Yuankai left, Lin Yitong quickly asked Qing He to prepare a letter according to her words and send it to Ding'an Hou Mansion.

"Remember, it must be delivered to my mother."

However, she received a reply the next day. Her mother did not know Xiaoyao Gong. Lin Yitong was discouraged and had to pin her hopes on Xiao Yuankai.

After returning from the shop inspection that day, when they were about to arrive at Fufengyuan, Hua Qingmu and Qingqi saw Xiao Bihua running out in panic with Cuiyu's look on her face, and looking back from time to time to see what was going on behind her.

So he looked in the direction of her sight and saw a burst of thick smoke coming out in front of him, which seemed to be in the direction of Fufeng Garden, so he quickened his pace.

Xiao Bihua ran and almost bumped into Hua Qingmu, who hugged the object on her chest tightly with both hands.

Because the sleeves were wide, Hua Qingmu didn't see clearly what it was, and could only vaguely see a jade-colored corner.

Cuiyu quickly saw Hua Qingmu.

Hua Qingmu looked at Xiao Bihua with sharp eyes: "What's wrong with my sister? She's so panicked."

Xiao Bihua shook her head and said calmly: "Nothing, nothing, I was just passing by."

After saying that, he quickly walked away with Cuiyu.

Hua Qingmu was worried that something might happen to Fufeng Yuan, so she and Qing Yu walked faster into the yard.

Danzhu saw Hua Qingmu and Qingfu at this time and quickly reported: "Madam, there is a leak in the warehouse!"

Hua Qingmu's expression turned serious. She felt that Xiao Bihua was a ghost just now.

While arranging people to put out the fire quickly, he quickly asked in a low voice: "Qinghui, how are the things that you were asked to move to the warehouse going?"

Qinghui said hurriedly: "The fine and valuable items have been moved to another hidden warehouse. The remaining items are some worthless large items, as well as some locked empty boxes with some small boxes inside. Locked up, fooling people."

Hua Qingmu felt relieved.

"Go find more people and make sure the fire is put out."

Seeing that the fire in this posture was not small, I was afraid that the things inside could not be saved, so I had to make preparations beforehand.

Qinghui understood what she meant. It would be better if more people knew about it, so she ran outside and shouted as she ran: "The warehouse in Fufengyuan is flooded. Go put out the fire quickly! Go put out the fire quickly!"

Mrs. Xiao also came with people after hearing the news, but was shocked when she found that the fire was bigger than expected.

"Quick, quick, hurry up and put out the fire!"

There are some precious treasures inside, how could you be so careless!

In her opinion, although those items are still placed in Hua's warehouse now, when Hua gives birth to her grandson, the things inside will sooner or later belong to her!

At this moment, my heart, liver, and lungs were so anxious that I kept shouting: "Hurry up and send people to find a place that can't be entered. If there is no place, open it for me. I will save as much as I can!"

However, with such a huge fire, who would dare to risk their lives and run in?

I was afraid that even if no one went in, she would be burned to death, and even if she was carrying things out, the servants would think that the old lady was crazy for being poor.

Mrs. Xiao was really poor and crazy. She was already very poor. Under the pressure, she took out the little remaining money and squeezed out another portion from Wu. Then she gave out a portion that she said verbally. It was a "dowry return gift" that was actually 20,000 yuan to buy the concubine.

In addition, she was treating guests to a banquet, and now her money pocket was so clean that she could see it all at a glance, so she was not in a hurry.

At this time, whenever her son needed an emergency, she had no choice.

Wu family, Jiang family, Xiao Yuanming and Xiao Yuanlang are all here.

Wu's attire needs to be slimmed down a lot this time, but Jiang's is as good as ever.

Mrs. Wu doesn't want to mention Duole in her heart. She deserved it for letting you pick at Sosou some time ago, which caused her a lot of losses!

It’s best to burn it all up with a fire!

But the face kept shouting: "Hurry, hurry, the things in the warehouse of the third brother and sister are all good, don't waste them, you! Speed ​​up! And you, you..."

The shouting continued, and the servant's legs were about to break.

Hua Qingmu and Qingfu came over with a bucket of water, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said she wanted to help.

"Third brother and sister, you are pregnant and still doing such menial work, be careful of my nephew." Hua Qingmu let her carry it, but she could be heard shouting from a distance.

Seeing that she actually carried it to him, Mrs. Wu had no choice but to carry the bucket towards the fire in anger.

"Third brother and sister, are you okay?"

Jiang's face looked very anxious. After he glanced around and saw that everyone was present, he felt relieved.

"I'm fine, thank you second sister-in-law for your concern."

"Thankfully you're fine. It's just a pity. I heard that there are good things in your warehouse. If this fire goes on, I'm afraid it will... ugh."

Hua Qingmu looked at the blazing fire, burning in this hot summer day, causing a rush of hot air from nearby to hit her face, making it difficult to breathe.

"Who says it isn't? I just came back and saw a fire. It was too late to save it."

The fire continued into the evening.

Not only was the warehouse burned down, but even the wing next to it was burned clean.

Although there were no valuables in the wing, several rooms were burned down at once, and the repair alone was not a small expense.

Mrs. Xiao was so anxious that she was running around.

Near midnight, the fire began to weaken after all the things were burned. With the efforts of a group of servants, the fire was finally put out.

In the moonlight, Mrs. Xiao looked at the messy black ashes on the ground, feeling like crying but without tears.

"Check it out for me! Who made the warehouse look like this!"

Hua Qingmu looked at Xiao Bihua, whose eyes were evasive, and felt clear in her heart.

On the way to put out the fire, she had already asked Xiao Bihua for a visit while they were out.

It is speculated that he wanted to find a gift to take to the Zhang Mansion to apologize to Zhang Rongrong.

Zhang Rongrong has been keeping away from her recently, and other ladies in the mansion seem to refuse to interact with her.

Xiao Bihua was worried that she already knew about Cuiyu's pushing her, and was deliberately trying to win over other ladies to isolate her. Then she thought of taking advantage of Hua Qingmu's outing to come here and quietly bring back a treasure.

Danzhu saw the fire and rushed over, just in time to see Xiao Bihua and Cuiyu running out of the warehouse.

Xiao Bihua seemed to be holding a jade ornament in her hand.

She quickly went in to put out the fire, but found that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so she retreated.

On the way back, I saw that there was an extra candle in the daylight, and one of the boxes was opened, but the small box inside had not had time to move.

The fire started from the curtain. Danzhu guessed that the master and servant were curious about what treasure was hidden in the box.

Since the warehouse kept various important items, it needed to be cooler and darker, so Xiao Bihua's master and servant lit a candle in the daytime, presumably to take a look at the treasures in the box.

Hearing Mrs. Xiao's words about a thorough investigation, Hua Qingmu just glanced in the direction of Xiao Bihua's master and servant without meaning, then walked towards the house on the other side.

After a busy day, she felt exhausted. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she took Qingfu and Danzhu back to the house.

In the eyes of all the servants, her actions showed that she was extremely sad for losing her dowry, and she had no intention of caring about anything else at this time, fearing that she would go back and cry secretly.

Mrs. Xiao felt very uncomfortable. She was getting older and wanted to stay up late but couldn't, so she had to order to clean up and come back tomorrow to find out who did it.

However, there was no news the next day.

Hua Qingmu woke up from her sleep, briefly reviewed what happened yesterday, and asked the two girls: "Is there any news from Jin Yutang?"

Qinghui shook her head: "Mrs. Xiao was obviously eager to find out who set the warehouse on fire last night, but she stopped talking this morning."

Hua Qingmu sneered, how could she push her precious daughter out.

"I'll pack up first. I'll have breakfast later. Come with me to Jinyu Hall."
