Lu Ling was a little panicked, "This, what's going on? Why did everything go wrong suddenly!"

Gu Shengying protected her behind him, "Don't be afraid, Ah Ling, I will protect you."

"Quick! Check if the courtyard door is locked!"

A maid next to her hurriedly ran over, "Master! I don't know who locked the door from the outside! And the fire has surrounded us on three sides!"

"Here, what should I do? Is it possible, Mr. Lang, that you and I are going to die here today?"

Turning around and seeing Lin Qingwu there, Lu Ling blamed herself even more. This was the first time she came here, and this happened to her, and she was also implicated.

Lin Qingwu stepped forward and patted Lu Ling's hand, telling her not to panic, but at this juncture, how could she still calm down?
Gu Shengying found an extremely thick stick from nowhere and prepared to knock the door open. Just as he was about to rush over, the door opened from the outside.

"Madam! Master! Are you okay?"

Butler Liu's face turned dark. Fortunately, Miss Lingying reminded him to remember to carry the keys to each yard with him, otherwise he would not dare to think about the consequences.

More people came to the yard, and soon the fire was under control.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on!"

Gu Shengying usually has a very good temper, but after something like this happened, it was inevitable to get angry.

Butler Liu knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed.

"Master! Please punish the slave! It's because the slave failed to supervise the situation well. The person who set the fire has not been found yet."

Butler Liu burst into tears. He had been the steward of the Gu family for more than 20 years, and he had never made such a big mistake.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, the person who set the fire has been caught."

Everyone looked up at the door and saw Lingying carrying a man dressed as a servant and throwing him in front of everyone.

"Back to Madam, Master, I just went to the stable to feed the horses. I happened to see this man sneaking around and carrying something in his arms. So I followed him and saw him setting fire to me. I also found something on his body. Flint and kerosene.”

Lin Qingwu nodded, Lingying always acted very safely.

"Mr. Gu, madam, there are all the witnesses and physical evidence. This is your family matter, and it is not convenient for me to interfere. It's just that such a slave does not have such courage, so he must be under the instigation of others."

Hearing what Lin Qingwu said, Lu Ling was shocked and quickly thought of someone.

"Thank you Madam Lin for your help today. If Madam hadn't had such a capable maid by her side, I might not have been able to catch the arsonist so smoothly. Thank you Madam for what happened today."

As he spoke, he prepared to salute.

Lin Qingwu hurriedly supported her, "Madam, why do you need to be so polite? It offends me. People's safety is the most important thing. You must have been frightened by what happened today. The top priority is to let the doctor take a look."

Lu Ling felt warm in her heart. Gu Shengying hurriedly called a few servants and helped her go to the backyard to rest.

He turned around and said apologetically to Lin Qingwu: "What happened today made Madam laugh, and it must have frightened Madam. In the future, when Ah Ling gets better, the two of us will definitely come to express our thanks!"

"There's no need to be so polite. We'll go back first. You have a lot of things to do here, so there's no need to see you off."

After saying that, he took Lingying and left directly.

On the way back, Lingying asked quietly, "Madam, who do you think is responsible for what happened today?"

Lin Qingwu only looked at the scenery on the road through the window. People were coming and going, and it was very lively.

"Whose handiwork could it be? Lu Ling must know this kind of thing very well. No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, there are always some troublesome people in the family.

Everyone has their own difficulties, and this kind of thing is not something we can ask about. "

Lingying nodded. From this point of view, it seems that every big family is glamorous on the outside, but on the inside they are fighting to the death.When she gets married in the future, it would be best not to meet someone like this.

After the guests at the house left, Gu Shengying directly ordered someone to close the door.

When they arrived at the backyard, they only saw Lu Ling sitting on a chair in a daze.

"A Ling...what happened today has really made you feel wronged."

Gu Shengying blamed herself very much. On the day they got married, he vowed that he would protect her from being framed by others for the rest of his life. But now, in just a few years, she has fallen into such dire straits.

Lu Ling shook his head, with a bitter look on his face.

"Mr. Lang, I thought my mother-in-law would like me if I was obedient and sensible. It seems that after so many years, she still can't tolerate me in her heart..."

Before she married Gu Shengying, she often heard her mother say that Mrs. Gu's wife was a lover of children.

At that time, she was only caught up in the sweetness of love, how could she think carefully about the meaning of her mother's words.

She only knew that it was enough for her husband to treat her well. She never said a word when her mother-in-law teased her.

Unexpectedly, so many years of patience would be rewarded with intensified murder.

This time, the plan even involved her unborn child.

How can she bear this?
"Mr. Lang...if Mrs. Lin didn't come today, the maid didn't feed the horses, and Housekeeper Liu didn't bring the key, will I...will die in peace?"

Hearing this, Gu Shengying was frightened for a while, "Ah Ling, if you go, I will never survive!"

He never thought that his mother could commit such a murderous act.

If the person who set the fire hadn't admitted it himself, he might still have had a glimmer of hope for his mother.

He also comforted himself by saying that he never knew if other tribesmen were jealous of him.

However, what the arsonist said was that he was instructed by his mother...

What can he do with this?

Mother knew that he loved Ah Ling the most, so why did she do this?

Lu Ling saw his inner struggle and said: "Mr. Lang, do you know that your mother is not your biological mother? Your father-in-law passed away early, and she raised you up, and your eyebrows and eyebrows look very much like your father-in-law, so she I have had thoughts about you that I shouldn’t have long ago..."

She had wanted to tell Lang Jun these words for a long time, but due to feelings, she had not said them out. Now that she said them out, she felt very happy in her heart.

Hearing what Lu Ling said, Gu Shengying felt as if five thunders were striking his head.

This... how is this possible?

He is not stupid. All the things that have happened over the years, I used to think it was the mother's preference for her son, but now it seems that there are other reasons.

That's it, that's it.

Butler Liu ran over, saluted and said to Gu Shengying: "Master, the old lady is back. Can you open the door to greet her?"

Gu Shengying thought for a while, turned around and looked at Lu Ling's face blackened by smoke, and thought of the consequences of the fire...
