Jiang Wanqing frowned, looked at the reckless maid, and asked, "What happened? Why did a fire start out of nowhere?"

The small courtyard next door was specially prepared for the ladies and ladies who came to the banquet.

If the ladies accidentally lose their clothes during the banquet, they can go to the house next door to change.

But now, a fire broke out.

It would be fine if the ladies hadn't gone to the next room to change clothes, but if they had gone...

The maid shook her head and cried, "The fire started suddenly. We haven't found out yet."

The people around were already worried and were ready to leave.

Jiang Wanqing raised his voice and comforted them, "Don't panic, everyone. The yard next door and our yard are both protected by firewalls, so the fire can't reach our yard. The servants have already gone to put out the fire."

Baili Yanqing looked at Jiang Wanqing with a gloating look: "Jiang Wanqing, Jiang Wanqing, you'd better pray that there are no young ladies or ladies in that room who have gone to change their clothes. The people who came today are all the wives of important officials. You can't afford to offend them if one of them dies."

It seemed like he was reminded by Baili Yanqing.

Jiang Wanqing looked at the maid anxiously and asked, "Has anyone in the yard gone to change clothes?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then she cried and said, "Miss Nan Sheng went to the yard."

Song Nansheng?

Baili Yanqing raised her eyebrows. She was very familiar with this person.

Over the past month, she has been coming to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion and has met that man quite a few times.

However, she didn't like Song Nansheng.

Although Song Nansheng is that man's cousin.

However, she always felt that Song Nansheng's eyes when he looked at Zhou Zigu were not clean.

Jiang Wanqing immediately said anxiously: "Hurry up and check over there, how is the person?"

At this time, the maid said hesitantly: "Madam, someone saw the Marquis going to the direction of that courtyard earlier. I wonder if the Marquis went to the wrong courtyard to come to the banquet."

When Baili Yanqing heard that Zhou Zigu was also in that yard, he suddenly lost his composure.

He took a step forward and grabbed the maid's wrist tightly.

He said in a deep voice: "What did you say? Zi Gu is also in that yard!"

The maid trembled and nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, someone said they saw it."

At this point, Baili Yanqing no longer hesitated.

She had originally thought of taking advantage of the fire to leave this boring banquet.

But now that Zhou Zigu had gotten into trouble, she could no longer remain calm.

He turned his head and gave Jiang Wanqing a fierce look: "Jiang Wanqing, look at what you have done! I asked you to hold a banquet, are you going to burn everyone to death?"

After saying that, Baili Yanqing walked quickly towards the yard.

The other ladies and young ladies had originally planned to leave, but when they saw Baili Yanqing heading towards the fire, they did not dare to leave just like that.

So he could only follow Baili Yanqing and rush towards the direction of the fire.

Chen Zhiru did not follow the crowd out of consideration for her child.

When Jiang Wanqing and others arrived at the yard.

The fire has not been put out yet, and thick black smoke is billowing.

The servants and maids were rushing to put out the fire, holding buckets of water in their hands.

Old Madam Zhou heard something and rushed over as well.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she didn't even bother to greet Baili Yanqing, and went straight to Jiang Wanqing.

The next moment, he scolded: "Jiang Wanqing! Look at what you have done! You insisted on holding this banquet, and now it has caused a fire. Do you know that if anyone at the banquet has an accident, you will not be able to explain it!"

At this moment, Jiang Wanqing also had a look of self-blame on her face: "Mother-in-law, I don't know how such a fire could happen."

Baili Yanqing on the side lost his temper and shouted: "Now, the most important person is Zi Gu! Where are the people in your house? Why don't you send more people!"

"Zi Gu? What does this have to do with Zi Gu?" Suddenly hearing someone mention Zhou Zi Gu's name, Old Madam Zhou turned around and looked at Baili Yanqing, feeling a little uneasy.

Baili Yanqing frowned and said with a gloomy face: "The servant said that he saw Zi Gu coming to this yard."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou rolled her eyes and fell backwards.

"Old lady!"

Fortunately, the old maids behind Madam Zhou were quick to act.

Everyone supported the unconscious Madam Zhou.

When everyone saw that Madam Zhou had fainted, they suddenly became anxious.

It was an old maid who was very experienced and she directly pinched Madam Zhou's philtrum.

While Jiang Wanqing was directing everyone to put out the fire, she did not forget to care about Madam Zhou's health.

Although Baili Yanqing was very worried about Zhou Zigu, she still stopped when faced with the raging fire in front of her.

He just kept ordering the servants and maids to put out the fire.

Jiang Wanqing sighed, with worry in her eyes: "With such a big fire, the people in the room will probably faint from the smoke, right? My husband, please be alright."

Baili Yanqing glanced at Jiang Wanqing coldly.

He mocked, "Zhou Zigu has never had a good day since he followed you!"

Jiang Wanqing's face was filled with black lines.

How can I blame myself for this?

After a while, Mrs. Zhou suddenly woke up.

She opened her eyes and stared at the house in front of her where the fire was gradually dying down: "My son! My son! Zi Gu!"

Jiang Wanqing kindly comforted her, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Your husband is not alone in there. Sister Nan Sheng seems to be in this yard as well."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou gasped for air and suddenly she couldn't catch her breath.

He rolled his eyes.

The old maids around had worried eyes. They helped Madam Zhou breathe smoothly and comforted her, "Madam, breathe in, breathe in. The Marquis is blessed by heaven. He will be fine."

With the help of everyone, Mrs. Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with the help of everyone, he walked in front of Jiang Wanqing.

Madam Zhou glared at Jiang Wanqing: "What on earth do you want to do! Isn't it enough that you want to kill my son alone? Do you want to kill Nan Sheng too? Kill my two children! "

Jiang Wanqing pointed at the fire in front of her with a wronged look on her face and said, "Mother-in-law, it seems that only the surface of this house is badly burned. The people in the house must be fine. Look, the fire has died down. Besides, my husband and sister Nan Sheng may not be here. Maybe they are just passing by. How could they be in this yard at the same time?"

Yes, the yard over here is where the ladies and ladies coming to today's banquet change their clothes.

How could Zhou Zigu come?

Hearing this, Baili Yanqing and Old Madam Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

I wondered in my heart that maybe Zhou Zigu was not here.

Baili Yanqing immediately ordered the maid beside her: "Why don't you go to the mansion to look for Zi Gu!"

The maid nodded and left immediately.

The fire in front of us finally became smaller and was under control.

Baili Yanqing subconsciously walked quickly towards the burnt house.
