The evil daughter-in-law of the peasant family in the splendid pastoral

Chapter 137: A Shocking Conspiracy (2)
Su Qingyao didn't find Lingcao's little thoughts.Lingcao concealed it very well, as usual, he went to the shop to get busy.Su Qingyao was not suspicious either.She and Xiaohua tidied up and went to the shop too. There was no way, there were two shops, but there was only one boss, so how could she do it if she didn't sit in the battle?
Time passed unknowingly. On this day, just as Su Qingyao came to Zuixian Tower, she saw a slender figure standing alone at the gate of Zuixiao Tower. If it wasn't Yang Xiaotao, who was it?From time to time, the eyes raised their heads and looked into the distance, clearly waiting for someone.Sure enough, she saw Su Qingyao in the next second, her eyes were filled with joy, and she hurried towards this side...

Su Qingyao was ashamed, this Yang Xiaotao didn't want to see her so much in the past, but now seeing her is like seeing a savior.The change is too great, she really can't accept it!It was just a loan of 20 taels of silver to her, but she didn't take it to heart at all, and she only lent it to her at the beginning because she was really pitiful.Now, is she here to pay back the money?
With such doubts, Su Qingyao quietly looked at Yang Xiaotao who was rushing over.

Panting, Yang Xiaotao rushed to Su Qingyao, and took out a purse from her sleeve pocket. The purse was embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but it was obviously a bit old, and the color was not so bright, but Yang Xiaotao's movements were cautious , as if holding a treasure, slowly opened it, took out two ten taels of silver ingots from it, held it in his hand, and handed it to Su Qingyao.

Xiao Hua reached out to take Yang Xiaotao's money.

Yang Xiaotao put the purse away carefully, and looked relieved: "I finally returned the money to you, and I feel relieved."

Su Qingyao smiled and said, "Is your child almost recovered?"

Hearing asking about her child, Yang Xiaotao smiled more and her expression became more gentle: "It's healed." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Qingyao, which was a bit complicated.It was hard to see what was in those clear water eyes.

After Su Qingyao asked that question, she didn't know what to say. The two of them were not familiar with each other, and they were not friendly before. Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao glanced back at Su Qingyao and said, "The child is still waiting, so I'll go back first."

Su Qingyao said: "Then go back quickly."

Yang Xiaotao didn't stay any longer, but before leaving, she couldn't help but look at Su Qingyao again, this look also made it unclear what was in those eyes.

Su Qingyao watched her figure disappear, and then walked slowly to Zuixiaolou with Xiaohua.

Xiao Hua weighed the money in her hand and asked, "Sister Qing, this money..."

While walking upstairs, Su Qingyao greeted Er Dong and the others, and took the time to reply, "You can save the candied haws for yourself."

Xiaohua stared wide-eyed and said, "Ah? How can I finish eating..."

Another busy day.

Busy until closing time, Su Qingyao took Xiao Hua back home, and escorted them with spiritual herbs as usual, watching them enter the door before leaving.

It was bound to be a sleepless night.

Su Qingyao slept until midnight when she was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.The little flower on the side slept like a pig, and she didn't seem to be woken up at all.Su Qingyao glanced at her, struggled to get out of the warm bed, put on a cotton jacket, kicked on her shoes and went out. The knock on the door was still ringing, and it was getting louder.Su Qingyao thought to herself: Who is this?Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, they are two weak and helpless women...

It was really cold in the middle of the night, Su Qingyao walked to the door shivering, and said, "Who is it?"

Immediately someone outside the door replied anxiously: "Madam Boss, the Zuixian Tower is on fire! Go and have a look!" This is the new employee of the Zuixian Tower, Xiao Xia.

When Su Qingyao heard it, all the drowsiness and chill were thrown out of the blue. She immediately opened the door and said anxiously: "What's the situation now? How did it catch fire?"

Xiao Xia touched the black ash on her face, and said: "I don't know why the fire caught on. Now the fire has gradually increased. It started from the ground floor. The first floor is almost burned out, and it will burn to the second floor soon." gone."

Su Qingyao was very anxious, she said to Xiao Xia: "Go and put out the fire first, I will be there later."

Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment, and said, "Miss Boss, won't you go with me?"

Su Qingyao said: "You go first! I'll be there later."

Xiao Xia wondered: "Miss Boss, it was the steward of Lingcao who asked the younger one to pick you up, so what's the matter with the younger one going back alone?"

Su Qingyao said angrily: "Am I the proprietress or the spiritual grass? Who do you listen to?"

Xiao Xia lowered her head: "You are."

After Xiao Xia left, Su Qingyao hurriedly went back to the house to wake Xiao Hua up, and while she was getting dressed, she briefly told her about the fire in the Zuixian Tower. Zuixianlou rushed over.On the way, I saw flames soaring towards the sky in the direction of Zuixian Tower, and thick green smoke, which was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the night.

The two walked faster.

Suddenly a person came out from the side of the road. Su Qingyao took a closer look and found that person was Xiaoxia.

Su Qingyao said angrily: "Didn't I tell you to rush to put out the fire? Why are you still here?"

Xiao Xia said: "The little one is waiting for the shopkeeper here. The road is not safe."

Su Qingyao really had nothing to say, she was so angry that she walked over and slapped Xiao Xia hard with a "slap!"

"Tomorrow you will pack up and leave." Su Qingyao said bitterly.Obviously the fire has already burned so big, one more person to fight the fire, there is more hope, and the loss can be reduced, which is why she has been urging Xiaoxia to go to Zuixianlou.I didn't expect this person to be a deadhead, and he couldn't understand her meaning at all.

Xiao Xia was stunned by the beating, he couldn't imagine that the usually gentle and amiable proprietress would slap him like crazy!
Su Qingyao had already lazily paid attention to him, and pulled Xiaohua to rush towards Zuixianlou.Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, followed the two and rushed towards the Zuixian Tower.Because Su Qingyao was too focused on running, and all her heart was on the Zuixian Tower, she didn't notice this at all.

On the road, I met many villagers who were awakened by the fire in the middle of the night. Everyone got up from their homes to help put out the fire.Su Qingyao felt very comforted seeing this scene.

When she arrived at the Zuixian Tower, Su Qingyao saw that the fire had spread to the second floor as Xiao Xia had said.Many people gathered in front of the gate of Zuixian Tower, including the staff in Zuixian Tower and the neighbors around.Everyone was holding water basins and buckets from their homes to put out the fire. Su Qingyao searched the crowd anxiously, trying to find a buddy to understand the situation. Suddenly, the smoke-filled second floor of Zuixian Tower rushed out A figure jumped down from the tall second floor.Like a light white crane, it jumped in front of Su Qingyao.
