Chapter 43
The shadow was not big, it just flashed briefly.

But Song Chuxi could see clearly that it was a figure who slipped under the wall with his waist down.

"Miss!" Shun Yu had already noticed the movement, touched the side of the bed quietly, and asked, "Maidservant, go out and have a look?"

"No hurry!" Song Chuxi revealed a cold smile, "wait and see!"

The four years by Duanmuqi's side have already consumed too much of her patience, and she was still worrying about how to stir up the matter here as soon as possible, if someone is willing to help, she would be happy to see it succeed.

Shun Yu held back and did not move.

The master and servant both listened to the movement around them vigilantly.

The man under the wall only fiddled with it for a while, and then saw a flash of fire on the window paper, and the shadow quickly slipped away in the same way.

"Someone set fire?" Shun Yu frowned, her tone cold.

Song Chuxi looked at the window where the fire was blazing, not only was not anxious or angry, but smiled meaningfully in the darkness.

The flame sprang up from the back corner of the house, but it was windy this season, and there were many dead plants and trees in the flower beds, so it took only a blink of an eye for the fire to spread, and quickly spread from the back of the house. Outflank to both sides.

"Ah! The water is gone!"

"Come on, come on! Put out the fire!"

Then there were loud noises outside.

"What's going on here?" Great Wall heard the movement, and hurriedly came over from the yard next door.

"Miss Si is still in the room!" As for Song Chuxi's dinner, Shun Ying had just gone to the kitchen to bring supper back because Song Chuxi's dinner was useless.

Seeing that the fire was about to spread to the door, Song Chuxi gave Shun Yu a wink.

"En!" Shun Yu nodded, hugged her and ran outside.

Just outside, Shunying kicked open the door and barged in one after the other with Great Wall.

"Miss!" Seeing that the two of them were safe, Shun Ying's expression was relaxed.

"The fire is coming, take Fourth Miss out first!" Chang Cheng said, and quickly moved aside to make way.

The house itself was very old, and the wooden doors and windows were all open. Before the night guards in the garden arrived, the flames had already swept through and engulfed the entire house.

"The smoke here is very heavy, take the young lady out first!" Shun Ying covered Song Chuxi's mouth and nose with her sleeve, and together with Shun Yu they protected her and retreated out of the yard.

At this time, Duanmuqi slowly swayed out of his yard with his cloak in his hands.

At the same time, Shen Huiyin, who lived closest to here, had already heard the news.

"I heard that there is water here, what's going on?" Shen Huiyin asked anxiously as he walked.

Duanmuqi came out of the yard. Although he knew that Song Chuxi would not make any mistakes with Shunyu's protection, he still walked over to take a look at her to make sure that she was not injured. He looked at Shen Huiyin and said, "Yes, what's going on?"

Shen Huiyin choked on him, but didn't dare to ask back, her face turned livid.

Fortunately, Duanmu Yang, who was staying in the concubine's room, also put on his clothes and hurried over. At this time, Song Chuxi's courtyard next to him was already on fire, and the smoke was billowing so thick that people could not open their eyes.

"Don't you all go to help put out the fire?" Duanmuyang turned his head and scolded his followers, then frowned deeply, looked at Song Chuxi who seemed to be frightened, and pressed his face against Shunyu's body, and said: "People No damage at all?"

Song Chuxi didn't speak.

Duanmuqi didn't answer, just looked at him and said: "It's probably because I didn't look at the almanac to calculate the days when I went home. Is this a taboo against any god?"

What he said was obviously aimed at Duanmu Yang.

Duanmu Yang didn't show weakness, and said tit for tat: "Yes, it's really unlucky. Our Duanmu family's anger has indeed increased a little in the past two years."

Shen almost died in the sea of ​​flames in Hengwuyuan, but after returning, she kept her mouth shut and would not allow anyone to pursue her.

But Duanmu Yang knew very well in his heart that that matter had nothing to do with Duanmu Qi, and it was even possible that some huge conspiracy was involved in it.

The two people met each other's eyes, and the atmosphere became tense and deadlocked instantly.

"Oh, it's smoky here. Fourth Miss is weak, so don't blow it here." Mama Cheng came over under the order of the old lady. Looking at the situation here from a distance, she knew that something was wrong, so she hurried away Coming over, he bowed his knees and bowed to Duanmuqi and the others: "Third Young Master, Seventh Young Master, please move forward, please go to the main courtyard and sit for a while. It's good for the servants to stay here to deal with the aftermath."

Cheng's mother followed the old lady and had been in Duanmu's house for decades.

"Really? Now that I have disturbed my grandmother, I really should go and ask her to apologize!" Before Duanmu Yang could speak, Duanmu Qi had already said first.

Song Chuxi had such an accident at Duanmu's house, no matter what, he had to investigate and find out.

Duanmu Yang gave him a cold look, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the main courtyard first.

Shen Huiyin didn't want to stay and hurried to follow.

Shun Yu still hugged Song Chuxi, and the group went to the old lady's place in a mighty way.

The old lady was woken up in the middle of the night, but she didn't feel tired, she just had a gloomy face, not very happy.

Sitting beside her, Shen looked extremely nervous——

Ever since the time she nearly died in the sea of ​​flames, she has always been very taboo about candles, otherwise she would not have heard that there was a fire in Duanmuqi's side and would not have asked, but would have come to the old lady directly.

"Grandmother!" Duanmuqi and the others stepped forward and saluted the old lady.

When they reached the door, Shun Yu had already put Song Chuxi down, and now she and Shun Ying were supporting her on the left and the right.

Song Chuxi's small face was pale, supported by two maids, and she moved slowly step by step, with a weak willow supporting the wind, and she looked extremely fragile.

The old lady's character was so strong, disgust immediately appeared in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Are you the fourth girl of the Song family?"

"Yes! Junior Chuxi, I have met Mrs. Duanmu." Song Chuxi said softly, and was about to salute her, but her weak legs gave way.

It's just to keep the old lady from bowing her knees, this little girl doesn't mind torturing her?

Duanmu Qi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, but he didn't break it.

"Miss, be careful!" Shun Yu whispered, quickly stepped forward, hugged her, and propped her up.

Ninth Miss Duanmu Xiuxiang, who was sitting beside Shen, frowned displeasedly, covered her veil and murmured, "No wonder people say she is short-lived, why is she so weak?"

Although the voice was low enough that it would not be heard by others, Shen still turned her head and gave her a warning look.

"In the middle of the night, you don't need to be formal, just sit down!" The old lady said, and when everyone was seated, she suddenly looked solemn, and said seriously: "For no reason, why did you go into the water?"

The seriousness of her question obviously meant to be investigated seriously.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten.
