Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 44
Where the accident happened, Shen didn't see it with her own eyes, so she couldn't say anything.

The old lady moved her gaze over, and Shen Huiyin hurriedly said: "It's been windy these two nights, maybe some of the servants are patrolling, and the sparks in the lantern have splashed out?"

This is obviously an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Duanmuqi, who had been leaning on the chair like a boneless one, yawned, and didn't seem to want to bother about it in the middle of the night, so he said: "Grandma, it's late at night, we should stop relying on you, my Isn’t there a vacant room in the yard? Let’s move Chu’er there for a while, and we’ll be fine for one night, and we’ll talk about everything until tomorrow morning.”

"Seventh Young Master, I'm afraid this won't work either!" Mother Cheng just came back, knelt down and blessed everyone, and reported: "It happened to be windy at that time, and the fire was too strong. The place where your yard and Miss Fourth's yard are connected It was also affected, and a whole row of wing rooms was burned down, and the servants moved to the other room, as if there was no extra space to put Miss Fourth. And Miss Fourth is a girl's family, crowded in your yard , there are also inappropriate things!"

Just because the old lady has already made up her mind to go to the Song family to propose marriage, she has to take Song Chuxi's reputation into consideration.

The old lady's face sank like water, she slowly twisted the beads in her hands, and did not speak.

Sensitive to her words, Shen gave Shen Huiyin a wink, "Then see which yard is still vacant, and clean up another place to house this girl!"

"There are empty yards, but they are inhabited all year round. They are very messy, and they can't be cleaned up in a while." Shen Huiyin said in embarrassment.

Duanmu's family has a lot of female family members who live alone, so it is not a problem to allocate a room to accommodate Song Chuxi, but Shen Huiyin deliberately ignores this.

There was a hint of a smile in Song Chuxi's eyes, and he was sure in his heart——

Even if the arson just now was not done by Shen Huiyin, but at least——

This woman will not be completely ignorant of this matter.

The situation in the room became somewhat stalemate for a while.

The old lady was even more impatient to worry about Song Chuxi, an outsider she didn't want to see, and looked at Duanmu Xiuxiang who was snuggling beside Shen with a cold face, and said: "Xiang'er's place is bright enough, let the girl of the Song family go Squeeze her there."

"I don't want to be with her!" Duanmu Xiuxiang stood up suddenly and screamed.

This girl, like Duanmutang, was spoiled by the Shen family, arrogant and willful.

The old lady was already dissatisfied with this, and her face turned dark immediately.

Shen's heartstrings tightened, she quickly dragged Duanmu Xiuxiang to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Xiang'er, don't be unruly."

"Mother—" Duanmu Xiuxiang still refused, and tugged on Shen's sleeve, wanting to cry.

Seeing that she was so ignorant, the old lady looked at Shen Shi even more dissatisfied.

"Ninth sister is still young, how can she know how to take care of others?" At this time, Duanmu Xiuxi, who had been sitting by the door and had no sense of presence, said casually: "If Miss Song Si doesn't dislike it, you can move it to my place first. Just one night, the new yard should be tidied up tomorrow, right?"

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Song Chuxi glanced over.

When Duanmuqi returned in the evening, she heard from Shunyu that the Fifth Miss was angry with her husband's family because of her husband's raising of a concubine, so she ran back to hide.

That is to say, Duanmu's family is powerful enough to allow her to do this. If it was another family, her husband's family would have sent a letter of divorce to her door.

This woman took the initiative to show her favor?
How strange--

Duanmu Xiuxi's attitude was very indifferent, and she glanced sideways, "If you don't like it, then forget it."

Song Chuxi's eyes flickered, but in an instant, a smile burst out and said: "Then thank you Miss Fifth first, I will disturb you tonight!"

Duanmu Xiuxi's attitude was still lukewarm, and he only said in a low voice: "You are a guest at our Duanmu's house, and I will show my kindness as a landlord, which is what I should."

After finishing speaking, he stood up first, regardless of Song Chuxi, he gave a blessing to the old lady first, took his leave and walked out.

The old lady was getting old, and she was tossed up in the middle of the night, and now she began to lose her spirits. Now that the fire had been extinguished, she sent everyone down.

After everyone had left, the old lady's expression darkened, and she said to Cheng's mother, "You went to see it, did you find anything?"

It just so happened that Song Chuxi's house caught fire, and she wouldn't believe it was caused by no one.

"The servants have checked it out, maybe we really overthink it." Mother Cheng said, "If it's Madam or the Third Young Madam who wants to harm Miss Song's family, it shouldn't be arson at the back of the house and block the door directly. It is to keep them from escaping, and there are no signs of man-made in or out of the yard."

"I'd rather be thinking too much, and I'm afraid that Shen's aunt and nephew won't be able to settle down easily!" The old lady sighed, obviously not dispelling her doubts, and after thinking about it, she said, "In the middle of the night you Just keep an eye on it, and don't make any more disturbances."

"Yes, old lady!" Mother Cheng agreed and helped her undress and lie down again.

Duanmu Xiuxi went back to the residence one step earlier than Song Chuxi, and then went directly into her own room, not caring about anything.

Duanmuqi yawned all the way, and he only dropped by the door to send Song Chuxi to the door and then went back first.

"Miss Si, it's cold at night, please come inside!" A woman in charge in the yard came out with a smile, and invited Song Chuxi into the room on the right, "The pillows and bedding in this room have already been changed, The place is a bit rough, so Miss Fourth will be wronged for one night."

Song Chuxi frowned tightly and looked around, her lips curled up in displeasure, "Let's make it!"

It is true that what the woman said was just a polite word, but her face froze when she heard the words.

"My young lady is going to rest, please ask mom to thank Miss Fifth!" Shun Yu said, her tone was not warm.

"Miss, you're being polite, the old slave will leave first, and don't disturb Miss Fourth's rest!" He spat at his feet and cursed secretly: "It's just a fallen phoenix, bah!"

The mother twisted her fat body and walked away gracefully.

Song Chuxi sat down on the chair near the door, and winked at the two girls.

"Yes, Miss!" The two agreed, and began to carefully examine all the supplies in the room.

The four corners of the outer room were lit with palace lanterns, but the bedroom inside was still dark.

The two girls searched all the way, and when Shun Yu picked up the candlestick on the table to look closely, they couldn't help but change color.

"What?" Shunying approached alertly.

"Smell it!" Shun Yu handed over the candlestick with a frosty face.

It was an exquisite candlestick made of pure gold, and there was no mechanism on it, but the half candle inserted on it exuded a strange fragrance.

"Is the drug mixed with cardamom?" Shun Ying asked suspiciously.

Both of them vaguely knew the effects of these two things.

"It's so daring!" Shun Yu was furious, and she was about to smash the dirty thing.

At this time, Song Chuxi just walked in from the outer room, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and said coolly: "Take it!"
