In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 106 Rest
After Lan Kexin was sent away, Sikong Ye returned to his bedroom, took off his shoes, lay down next to Mu Xue, embraced her in his arms, and sighed lightly with the emotion of finding something lost. Slowly closed his eyes.

Luo Yuting was not so lucky, after sending Si Kongye back, he assisted Gu An to clean up the mess.

After working hard in the middle of the night and all morning, the Jinxiu Pile fire was finally half extinguished, and it didn't matter if the remaining fires that would not cause serious damage were extinguished slowly.

The main reason is that at the beginning, I was afraid that it would affect the surrounding buildings and cause unmanageable consequences.

In addition, the person who set the fire had also found clues, Gu An entrusted him with the matter here, and took people to arrest him.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Luo Yuting couldn't help sighing deeply. Jinxiu Dui is the best courtyard under Sikong Ye's name. It is simply incalculable.

Because there are many other valuable things in the Jinxiu pile, such as gold and jade toys, antique jade wares, and various collections, as well as Sikong Ye's wine collection.

These are difficult to measure with money.

He put his hand on his heart, "Thinking about it makes my heart ache! It is not so easy to build another courtyard like this!"

He was sighing here, when someone came to report: "A woman with a suspicious whereabouts has come, wandering around here, saying she is looking for someone."

Luo Yuting was fine now, so he asked someone to bring the woman over, and his pupils shrank slightly when he saw it. Isn't this the little village girl that old Su missed so much?

It was An Ran who came.

A fire like Jinxiudui is so bright that it can be seen even from outside the city. She was thinking about Mu Xue, so she went to the city to have a look, for peace of mind. Who would have heard that it was Jinxiudui that was on fire as soon as she entered the city? , none of the people inside could come out alive, but they were terrified.

So she ran this way in a hurry, but Jinxiudui was completely surrounded by soldiers, and she couldn't get in at all.

The people who had been watching in the middle of the night gradually dispersed because there was nothing new to watch. Everyone still has their own lives to live.

Therefore, An Ran's appearance here seemed particularly abrupt.

Luo Yuting knew An Ran because Su Yi showed him a portrait of An Ran, but An Ran didn't know him, but seeing that he was well dressed, well-groomed, and surrounded by many people, he knew that he was a man who could manage things. After saluting, he asked eagerly, "My lord, may I ask if all the people in Jinxiu pile have been rescued?"

Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had cried.

Luo Yuting blinked his glasses and asked, "You ask the people in Jinxiu pile? Who do you know?"

An Ran bit her lip, not wanting to say Mu Xue's name like this, and asked again: "My lord, are all the people in the Jinxiu pile out of danger?"

Interest flashed in Luo Yuting's eyes, and he deliberately shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, no one survived."

An Ran's glasses suddenly widened, only to feel the world spinning for a while, and fell down when the eyes were dark.

Luo Yuting was also taken aback. He didn't know that this little village girl couldn't help but catch him before he fell to the ground. Thinking that his friend's wife should not be bullied, he hurriedly called a female guard over, "You, take her to the ground. The City Lord's Mansion is said to be Miss Mu's friend."

An Ran woke up on the way, didn't ask where she was, just shed tears silently.

I heard that she was Mu Xue's friend, and she was put into the City Lord's Mansion without a hitch, sent to the courtyard of Sikong Ye's study, and temporarily placed in an empty room.

An Ran seemed to be unaware of the changes in the surrounding environment. After entering the room, she was arranged to sit down like a wooden figure, still crying silently.

She was completely immersed in the grief of Mu Xue's death.

Sikong Ye woke up after sleeping for an hour. Even if his physical condition had not fully recovered, he had to get up. Many things were waiting for him to arrange.

After changing clothes and coming out, someone came to report: "Mr. Luo asked someone to send a woman over, saying that she is Miss Mu's friend."

Sikong Ye knew who it was after a little thought, and asked, "Where is the person?"

"Temporarily settled in an empty room, but this woman is also strange, she didn't say a word, she just shed tears, as if she had lost her mind."

Thinking of Luo Yuting's unrestrained nature, Sikong Ye knew why, and ordered: "Let someone tell her that Mu Xue is still alive, but she is resting from exhaustion. If she doesn't believe it, you can take her to see Mu Xue." .”

After finishing speaking, Sikong Ye had someone prepare some meals for him, and after eating, he went to deal with official business.

Presumably no one would trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the study and disturb Mu Xue's rest.

An Ran was sent to Mu Xue's sleeping room in a numb manner. When she saw Mu Xue laying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, her eyeballs, which were barely moving, suddenly widened and covered her mouth. She didn't do anything. Tears welled up again.

After standing there for a while, he rushed over and touched Mu Xue's hand with trembling hands, it was warm!

She smiled with tears in her eyes, and when she saw that Mu Xue was breathing steadily, she knew she was sleeping, so she forced herself to suppress her voice, for fear of waking Mu Xue up.

Thinking that Mu Xue would be upset if she woke up and saw that she was in tears, she wiped her face indiscriminately, but for a while, the tears on her face couldn't be wiped clean.

It took a while before she calmed down and stopped crying. Fang found that her legs were numb from squatting in one position for a long time.

She simply sat on the ground, gently grasped Mu Xue's hand with one hand, leaned her head against the side of the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.

Both of An Ran's parents died since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot outside. Although she became Tie Zhu's goddaughter, Tie Zhu treats her well on the surface, but in fact, when she was younger, she would always turn to her when something went wrong. Take her out.

It was only later that An Ran became bigger and more beautiful, so Tie Zhu didn't do anything to her very much, but he wanted to raise her to be white and tender so that he could earn a dowry in the future.

An Ran is well aware of these things, but because she also has ulterior motives, she and Tie Zhu perform the drama of "father's kindness and daughter's filial piety" every day.

Girls who grow up in such an environment are extremely eager for family affection and warmth.

That's why she fell in love with Su Yi at first sight who expressed kindness to her.

And Mu Xue was not only the only descendant of their family benefactor in the past, but also helped her solve her worries. She was like her own sister, and emotionally, she naturally became dependent on her.

This was the reason why An Ran and Mu Xue could have emotional ups and downs because of Mu Xue after only meeting each other two or three times.
