Chapter 57

Ruoxi glanced at her, and carefully found that her smile was stiff, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Marrying a girl is different from marrying a daughter-in-law. Usually, guests are treated the night before, and the bride is sent away on the same day, and then they leave one after another.Ruoying didn't want to stay longer, fearing that the old lady and others would see something, so she found an excuse to leave the house with her relatives.

She went back to Hou's mansion, thinking about what the third wife told her, she was really embarrassed.

"Grandma, the third master just came back and was drinking tea in the upper room. He seems to be in a good mood." A little girl in the upper room was bribed by Ruoying, and came here to report Lin Yihao's whereabouts from time to time.

Ruoying heard the words and hurriedly ordered Nongqin to help her change clothes, and then straightened her head and face in front of the mirror before going out.As soon as she got under the window, she heard Lin Yihao's gentle voice with a chuckle.

When she went in through the curtain, she saw Lin Yihao's smiling eyes at a glance, but when she saw her, she immediately became cold.

"Did the happy event in the mansion go well?" Although he hated Ruoying in his heart, he didn't want to let everyone know what happened that night, because it still concerned his face after all.In addition, he was also concerned that Ruoying was Ruoxi's older sister, so he wanted to let her go.As long as she stays by herself from now on, he will not treat her badly in terms of food and clothing.So in front of the girls, he had to leave room for Ruoying, after all, she was still his concubine.

How did Ruoying know the details of this, and she couldn't help being delighted when she heard him asking about her natal family.

The third master was read a book in front of the emperor because of his transgression. Originally, most of the officials in the capital were superior in the house and supplies, but no one pursued the emperor, so he turned a blind eye.I don't know how the third master offended someone, so he insisted on this small mistake, and the emperor didn't have any orders for the time being.

He knew that this was not a big deal at all, and with Ding Bohou's good words, it would definitely be nothing.But who would have thought that Ding Bohou did not speak well in front of the emperor, and asked the emperor to strictly investigate the officials' overreach, so as to avoid the rise of comparisons and extravagance in the capital.The third master was overwhelmed with anger, and when he returned home, he questioned the third wife.

"Ba Yatou clearly promised to help me, even if she doesn't agree, she shouldn't add fuel to the fire." The third wife was stunned when she saw the master's anger, "The emperor has a decree, what should we do now?"

The third master was dejected, and sat on the chair and replied: "What else can I do, just wait! If the emperor wants to strictly investigate, he will definitely take the knife. At that time, no one will be able to protect the master, and maybe the whole family will be affected. The Ministry of officials has issued an order Master Ming is waiting for the news at home, this time it is more ominous than good."

The third wife's heart flickered when she heard this, and tears welled up.

"Why are you crying? Despondent!" He was already depressed, but when he saw the third wife crying and wiping away tears, he became more and more upset.

At this time, the girl came in and answered, saying that the old master invited him to come over in his study.Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and went. The three elder brothers had to discuss countermeasures, and at critical times, they had to kiss each other.

When the third master came back, it was getting late, he wanted to go to Aunt Sun's side, but when he thought of Ruoying, he became so angry that he simply stayed in the third wife's room.He fell asleep after taking a shower, but he couldn't fall asleep because he had something on his mind, and he didn't wake up in a daze until dawn.

Suddenly, the cry of "running water" came from his ear, and he was awakened suddenly. When he put on his clothes and came out, he saw thick black smoke rising from the backyard.He hurried into the backyard, and saw the back building of the West Wing was on fire, the maids and mother-in-law were fighting the fire in a mess, and the third wife also changed her expression in fright.

After a while, Ruo Ling was helped out by the girl, and it seemed that there was no serious problem except for a few mouthfuls of smoke.

"Auntie, Auntie is still inside, save her!" Ruo Ling shouted while coughing, with tears on her face.

Seeing that the fire was not strong, the third master ordered a strong woman to pour water on the quilt and rush in.The woman was really unambiguous, she rushed in fiercely and ran out holding Aunt Bao after a while.

Seeing this, everyone hurried up to help, but they saw that Aunt Bao's face was covered with soot, her eyes were closed and her face was pale.The third master frowned suddenly, no matter how unfavored he was his aunt, he had to order someone to slip away to ask for a doctor.

Ruo Ling called aunt left and aunt right, crying so hard that she almost lost her breath.The third master felt depressed and became more and more displeased when he saw this, the third wife ordered his servants to put out the fire and ignored their mother and daughter.

On the contrary, Ruoxi ordered people to carry Aunt Bao to the East Chamber, and ordered the girl to clean up her head and face.At this time, the old lady sent someone to inquire, and when the fire was extinguished, she went back to report.The third master was afraid of frightening his mother, so he ordered the people to only say that everyone was safe, and not to mention Aunt Bao's injury and coma.

The doctor invited, the third master followed into the east wing, Ruoxi and Ruoling hid inside to avoid it.I only heard the doctor say it's okay, I want to use acupuncture to wake up Aunt Bao, and then prescribe a prescription or something like that.

After a while, Aunt Bao's groaning voice came in, and Ruo Ling shed tears again with joy.When the doctor went out, she hurried out immediately, and saw Aunt Bao woke up and started crying.

"What are you screaming for? I think there have been few unlucky things recently, it's really bad luck!" The third master came back with a gloomy face, glanced at Aunt Bao who was lying on the bed and sighed.

After all, she was the one who gave birth to his children. Seeing that she almost died in the fire scene, it was impossible not to be touched. The third master sat down and asked, "Well, why did it catch fire? I think it is the location of the back building. Where are you?" do what?"

"Slave...cough cough..." Aunt Bao coughed before she could speak. She must have choked on a lot of smoke, and she was getting weaker and panting more and more.Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear for the rest of her life. Her long and curly eyelashes kept flickering, like a frightened rabbit.

Ruoxi who was on the side sighed inwardly when she saw it, even though Aunt Bao was over thirty, this timid and lovable appearance was more dewy than a young girl.Look at her flirtatious father, there is already a bit of tenderness in his eyes, he is really a hero who is sad for a beauty.But to be honest, his father's wife, concubine, and Tongfang are all added together, and it's really Aunt Bao who is the most beautiful.

The old woman who rushed into the fire to save people heard the words and replied cleverly: "When the slave girl went in, my aunt fell to the ground. There was a big fire all around. The small iron stove was burning red, and the casserole on it was burnt to pieces."

"Why is there a stove in the back building?" The third master was startled.

Aunt Bao bowed her head and said nothing, Ruo Ling choked back with sobs: "Auntie set up a small stove in the back building, and cooked soup for Father herself every day. She didn't feel well yesterday, so she didn't wake up so early in the morning Get up and boil it. No matter how hard I try to persuade you, I have to do it myself, saying that everyone’s taste is different. I think my aunt must have been unable to support herself and fell asleep, so she didn’t watch the fire go away. "

"It's you who made the tonic soup that I drink every day, but why is it at Aunt Sun's place?" The third master looked at Aunt Bao and asked, "Why didn't you say it?"
