The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

After the guards helped the person out, Zhao Huayin saw clearly that this was Liuyun who had been missing for half a day.

Zhao Huayin walked forward anxiously and called out, "Liuyun! Liuyun! Wake up!"

Liuyun was rescued from the woodshed and it seemed that he had been unconscious for a long time.

His body and face were covered with black carbon ash.

Zhao Huayin looked at Liuyun carefully again. He just looked a little embarrassed, but he was not injured.

Zhao Huayin then breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to help Liuyun down.

"Grandma, are you okay? I heard that Pin Ya Ju was on fire. I was so worried."

Zhao Huaqin, who said she couldn't come due to illness, was now anxiously holding Old Madam Zhao's arm.

When Zhao Huayin saw Zhao Huaqin coming, she said to Yan Qi,

"Your Highness, since the courtyard has been sealed, I'm afraid that ladies with ulterior motives will blend in with the families of the various mansions."

"Send all the ladies here into the hall."

After Yan Qi finished instructing Mu Xiao, he turned around and said to Madam Qi Hou,

"Madam is highly respected and is relatively familiar with the female relatives of each mansion, so you will be responsible for counting the number of people in each mansion."

"Today, our mansion is hosting a banquet for the ladies and young ladies from all the mansions. I should help Your Highness investigate."

After saying this, the wife of the Marquis of Qi led all the ladies and girls into the hall.

"Check the rest of the people one by one, don't be careless!"

"Yes!"

The guards of the city defense camp received the order and began to investigate.

After Zhao Huayin settled Liuyun down, he began to look for some traces of Xue.

At the corner of the garden, a light green figure flashed by.

Zhao Huayin recognized that it was the hem of Dianxue's skirt, so she walked over while calling Dianxue's name.

"Dianxue! Is that you?"

Suddenly, two people stood in front of Zhao Huayin, and Zhao Huayin was startled.

Looking closely, I saw Dianxue and Xiaohong coming out from the corner of the garden.

"Miss, when I was looking for Liuyun, I found her sneaking into the garden. I followed her because she was acting suspiciously.

She was found buried in the garden."

As she spoke, Dianxue threw a bundle in her hand to the ground. The bundle was thrown away, and the things inside were exposed.

There are a few tinderboxes and some kerosene.

When Xiaohong saw Zhao Huayin coming, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.

"Miss, please forgive me! I really don't know what happened. I picked these things up from the ground!"

Zhao Huayin sneered.

"That's really a coincidence! I just wonder if His Highness the Fourth Prince will think so with your reason."

"Take her over and hand her over to His Majesty the Fourth Prince for disposal!"

Dianxue grabbed Xiaohong and walked inside, but Xiaohong was still struggling unwillingly.

"No! Girl, I really didn't do anything, please let me go!"

The guards from the city defense camp happened to hear the noise and came over, led by Yan Qi.

Xiaohong was thrown to the ground casually by the guards. She just raised her head slightly and saw a pair of emotionless eyes full of coldness.

I felt a chill all over my body in an instant, and then I heard the owner of the eyes asking cold questions.

"You set the fire?"

Xiao Hong shuddered.

"No... No, I... No, I really didn't set the fire! I..."

Yan Qi gave Xiaohong a look and she was so scared that she shut up instantly.

"So, you were going to play in the backyard?"

After Yan Qi said this, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Xiaohong felt that this smile was extremely creepy.

"Since you can't control where your legs are going, take them away and cripple your legs."

Xiaohong was so frightened that she couldn't move. Seeing two guards in black armor approaching step by step, Xiaohong finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed.

He rolled and crawled and hugged Zhao Huayin's legs.

"Girl, girl, save me! I really didn't set the fire, I didn't set the fire!"

"I'll tell you! I saw who set the fire!"

"stop!"

Mu Xiao shouted to stop them, and the two guards who were dragging Xiaohong stopped.

"Tell me, who is it?"

Mu Xiao stepped forward and asked.

"It was... a man in black who set the fire. My daughter asked me to come in and take the painting from my eldest daughter.

Before I got the painting, I saw the man in black setting fire. I thought he was going to kill me, but he stuffed the bag into my arms and left.

I...what I said is true, please let me go!"

Xiaohong kowtowed repeatedly to Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao turned his head to look at Yan Qi, who slightly opened his lips.

"Go and capture the accomplice she mentioned!"

"Yes!"

Mu Xiao looked at Yan Qi with some confusion, feeling a little surprised.

The master clearly knew that the person who set the fire was a spy sent by Prince Xuan's palace.

They probably planned to take action today and break into the secret cell of the city defense camp, so they sent out spies to create chaos in various places in the capital.

Why did the master want people to catch this girl's accomplice? Was the master angry because he heard that they were going to steal Miss Zhao's paintings?

No, that's not the case. The master wants to send people to search the entire city and make it even more chaotic.

Only in this way will it be easier for King Xuan's men to take action.

After figuring out Yan Qi's plan, Mu Xiao hurried out.

"As for you..."

Yan Qi turned around, and Xiaohong couldn't help but shrank when she saw Yan Qi's gaze.

"Girl! Girl! I have really said everything. Please save me!"

Xiaohong crawled over and knelt down to kowtow to Zhao Huayin.

Looking at Xiaohong lying on the ground, Zhao Huayin remembered that in his previous life, he was framed by Yu Ying'er and was bleeding profusely and about to die.

It was this maid who was moved with compassion and kindly fed him a sip of water.

"Your Highness."

Zhao Huayin bowed to Yan Qi and said,

"This maidservant is still a member of our Zhao family. Your Highness, can you let me handle her?"

Yan Qi nodded.

Zhao Huayin brought the two of them in to check on Liuyun's condition. At this time, Liuyun had slowly woken up.

"Girl...Miss."

"Liuyun, how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Don't worry, girl. I'm fine now."

As he spoke, Liuyun sat up.

"What on earth happened? Why did you faint there?"

Liuyun took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Zhao Huayin.

"Girl, I went to the backyard to check and saw this handkerchief in the woodshed. I recognized it as hers and wanted to pick it up and go inside to check again, but someone knocked me out from behind."

"I didn't bring this handkerchief with me to the banquet today. Who put it here?"

Zhao Huayin took the handkerchief and talked to herself.

"It's Miss Yu."

Xiaohong beside him whispered,

"It was Miss Yu who went to the girl's room before she went out today."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiao Hong continued,

"Miss Yu ordered me to put the eldest lady's handkerchief in the backyard, and said that she would invite Master Zhou to the backyard at the banquet, and then expose him at the banquet.

This handkerchief is the evidence.”

"Miss Yu is really going too far! She's still trying to frame my daughter!"

Liuyun, who had just woken up, spoke hurriedly.

"But why did it catch fire later? Could it be..."

Dianxue thought for a moment before speaking.

"Miss Yu only asked me to throw the handkerchief on the ground, and then take the eldest lady's painting and give it to Master Zhou. I don't know anything else."

"Miss, Miss Yu wants to..."

Dianxue looked at Zhao Huayin in astonishment.

Zhao Huayin nodded slightly.

"Just what you thought."

"Miss Yu is so vicious that she even planned to have a secret meeting between you and Zhou Pei at the hairpin appreciation party of the wife of Marquis Qi, in order to ruin your reputation!

Girl, you've been so kind to her for so many years, but you've really raised an ungrateful person!"

Thinking of Yu Ying'er's evil plan, even the usually steady Dian Xue couldn't help but utter bad words.

But Yu Ying'er didn't expect that Zhao Huayin had already replaced Zhou Pei's letters.

Zhou Pei's plan to slander Zhao Huayin with a letter at the banquet failed, resulting in the failure of his subsequent plot.

But what about fire?
