Chapter 452: Observe During the Investigation

"It'll be okay, cousin, please go back!" Wen Xichi raised his eyes again and looked at Xingguo Duke's Mansion.

"Third cousin, I'm afraid. We are so close. What if we get burned?" Gu Xishu said, wiping her tears pitifully and walking up to the rockery. Now, There was no one around, and it was a dark situation. If I panicked, I could still throw myself into my third cousin's arms.

It would be better if others could see it, and the third cousin would have to marry him.

Even if no one sees it, it doesn't matter. At this time, shouldn't the third cousin feel more sorry for himself?

"There's no need to come up, cousin. The eldest brother and the second brother will be here soon. You go back and rest first!" Wen Xichi said calmly without looking at her.

Gu Xishu stopped. Will her second cousin come too?

The second cousin has always been very jealous. If he sees himself standing next to the third cousin, he will definitely doubt himself. Not only will he make excuses, but he will also be prone to bad things.

Thinking of this, Gu Xishu felt that it was better for her to leave first.

"Third cousin, please be careful. I'm going back first. If anything goes wrong, I hope third cousin will inform me as soon as possible." Gu Xishu looked up at Wen Xichidao with a frightened look on her face.

This is Wen Xichi's yard, and she really can't stay any longer.

"Okay, you go back first and just sleep peacefully. It'll be okay!" Wen Xichi said gently.

"Third cousin, first cousin, and second cousin come over later, can you not tell them that I came to you because I was afraid? They will laugh at me."

Gu Xishu twisted a little and said with a slightly red face.

Wen Xichi lowered his eyes, looked at Gu Xishu's face, and nodded slightly after a while, "Okay!"

Is this because she is afraid that her second brother will think too much, or that her thoughts will be exposed in front of her second brother? The corners of her lips curled up silently, and she twitched them mockingly in the dark. It was really difficult for her. She wanted to have both sides, and before she formally agreed to her, she kept holding her second brother tightly for later use. .

Seeing that Wen Xichi agreed, Gu Xishu breathed a sigh of relief, bowed sideways to Wen Xichi, and then left with a maid.

We walked very quickly, and we took a shortcut right out of the hospital, a shortcut that was extremely difficult to take. There were many flowers and plants along this way. Although it was not in full bloom, we couldn't see clearly in the dark and would definitely damage our clothes. Gu Xishu's clothes just now were in good condition.

When I came here, I was so afraid of panic, and I didn't take the difficult shortcut. When I went back, I no longer had to panic, but I took the shortcut in a hurry. Is this because I was afraid that my second brother would see me?

It can be seen that the relationship between Gu Xishu and her second brother is unusual!

In other words, she and her second brother may have already sworn to each other, not marrying anyone who is not your king, and not marrying anyone who is not your king!

But even so, it's really shameless to still try to pull him off.

He raised his head again and his eyes fell on the slender figure in Duke Xingguo's mansion. His handsome eyebrows furrowed. Why did he feel that Shao Wanru seemed to know him and was actually very familiar with the things in his mansion, even to himself? She knew everything was dark under the lamp, why was she so interested in him?

There was an inexplicable flash of disgust in his eyes. He really didn't like a woman who was very familiar with him, but he had no clue about her.

Even though Shao Wanru reminded him to pay attention to his second brother and cousin, how did she know?

Qin Huaiyong had come to visit her before and wanted to marry her, so Miss Shao Wu, who was the second Miss Qin at the time, was checking on her?

As a person with little reputation, it feels very bad to feel like someone has seen through it and yet I know nothing about it!

But an inexplicable thought flashed through her mind. Shao Wanru was now the fifth young lady of the Xingguo Duke's mansion, and she was a good match for her, but she didn't know what her mother would think.

They are similar in terms of status, but she must still be an orphan without a father or mother...

My mind wandered inexplicably. Although I was looking at the large fire scene, my thoughts were already in the fog. When a gust of cold wind blew by, I suddenly woke up, and my face immediately became ugly. , this is what I was thinking at that moment.

This made him very uncomfortable.

He was grateful for Shao Wanru's concern, but he didn't want to get too involved with her. He always felt that she knew too much about him!

Her eyes moved, and her eyes fell on Shao Wanru again. This time, she actually saw Shao Wanru turning her head. I wonder if she also saw her, but she actually smiled in his direction, and her brows became more and more wrinkled. Woke up.

Shao Wanru is plotting against him?

This feeling became more and more uncomfortable, as if someone whom he had trusted had betrayed him.

Qin Wanru didn't actually see Wen Xichi. She didn't even know that the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion was next door. The reason why she smiled was actually a forced smile because she saw Princess Ruian coming in a hurry. The eldest princess' face was full of panic, and her always majestic face had a hint of frightening fragility.

She just wanted to squeeze out a smile and comfort Princess Ruian!

"Zhuozhuo, are you okay?" Princess Ruian came over after hearing the news. She grabbed Shao Wanru and looked her up and down, fearing that she might be slightly damaged.

"Grandma, I'm fine, I'm really fine!" Shao Wanru's eyes turned red, she was really touched.

She has been here for a while. Whether it is Mrs. Xingguo or Duke Xingguo, the first thing she did after arriving was to pay attention to this courtyard. No one came to ask her if she was frightened or injured.

And the lady who lived deep in the backyard sent someone to ask about the courtyard, and asked people to put out the fire quickly. She must protect the courtyard and the things in the courtyard. As for herself, she didn't have anything. A word of greeting.

Duke Xingguo's mansion really neglected him completely, and even couldn't give the eldest son a yard.

Seeing the concern on her grandmother's face, her heart, which was not so aggrieved at first, became aggrieved, and she threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess Ruian and cried.

Princess Ruian hurriedly hugged her, feeling that her small body was soft in her arms. She was crying and twitching, feeling heartbroken. She had always been strong and never cried in front of others. Whenever she appeared in front of others, she would It was the eldest princess who straightened her back, but she couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

"Come here, call Duke Xingguo over!" Princess Ruian said angrily.

Now there is a chaos, and the voice of Duke Xingguo can be heard, but his figure cannot be seen.

Several women squeezed out in response, and soon they invited Duke Xingguo over. Duke Xingguo also looked a bit embarrassed. The robe on his body was stained with black marks somewhere, and there was a burnt spot on the cuffs. , the crown on his head was also tilted, and his voice was a little hoarse than before. This was the hoarse sound he made when he was directing people to put out the fire.

"Greetings to the eldest princess!" Duke Xingguo came forward to pay homage.

"What's going on? Why don't other places burn, but the place where Zhuo Zhuo lives is burned? Is it possible that someone wants to burn Zhuo Zhuo to death? I told Zhuo Zhuo to follow me, look at your Xingguo Duke's mansion, you actually live in it It’s not safe!” Princess Ruian was not polite and immediately sternly rebuked.

This almost means that Duke Xingguo wants to murder Shao Wanru.

Duke Xingguo's eyebrows jumped a few times. Looking at everything in front of him, he could hardly control his temper, which was always like a "good old man".

But I also know that this is the time and not the time to get angry. The fire can’t be saved and then it’s over. The fire started so quickly and so fiercely that you can tell at a glance that it didn’t happen accidentally.

"Don't worry, eldest princess, I will definitely find out about this matter." Duke Xingguo suppressed his temper and said softly.

"Find out this matter? If Zhuo Zhuo hadn't happened to want to ask the maid something and didn't take a shower first, she would have been trapped in the fire. Even if she escaped with her life, there were so many people here, and she wouldn't be able to survive. Xing Guo Sir, are you naturally in conflict with Zhuo Zhuo in your house, or are there too many people who want her life?"

Princess Ruian said angrily.

She was not polite to Duke Xing Guo at this moment. She was so angry when she remembered that Shao Wanru had just told her about the previous situation, when he almost burned to death in the shower.

In front of the Queen Mother, she fought for Zhuo Zhuo's custody rights, but after the fight, she didn't cherish it. It was clear that she planned to take Zhuo Zhuo's life. From this point of view, the eldest princess Ruian didn't care at all. I don't believe what Duke Xingguo said.

It’s strange that there can be a conclusion on this matter!

It was clearly done by Duke Xingguo and his wife!

No wonder the eldest princess Ruian is so arbitrary. Both the wife of Duke Xingguo and his wife give her a feeling of ill-intention. If it weren't for this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could her daughter and son-in-law have fallen into this situation? The point where only two poor children were left.

"Princess Princess Ruian, please don't be anxious. This matter must be investigated." Xingguo Gong frowned and said, feeling that Princess Ruian was really unreasonable, as if she was willing to burn down this courtyard.

If others don't know, how could he not know that this courtyard is the wedding room prepared by his wife for his son, and this preparation has taken more than ten years. A lot of hard work has been spent on it, even if it means burning the courtyard, I won't burn this yard either.

But he couldn't say this to Princess Ruian, so he could only express it vaguely.

"When you are investigating the matter, I want to follow you. I must know who can't tolerate Zhuo Zhuo." Princess Ruian touched the top of Shao Wanru's hair, who had stopped crying now, and said angrily to Duke Xingguo. road.

This made him really angry. After looking at the manpower brought by Princess Ruian, Duke Xingguo had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, okay, I'll ask Princess Ruian to attend later."

He also wanted to know who did it today.

Shao Wan, who was lying in the arms of the eldest princess Ruian, curled up her pink and red lips silently. This scheme fell into the trap, and Mrs. Xingguo could not escape her guilt. Besides, weren't there any clues?

The water traces leading from the lake are actually easy to check, and the clan elders are not without merit...
