"Two sisters, what do you mean by this?" Fan'er asked Yun Wei and Yun Chan anxiously.

Yun Wei looked at the old lady and said, "No wonder you said your chest was stuffy and you couldn't breathe. On such a cold day, you must open the window a little, facing you!"

"Also, it just so happened that your clothes were torn, and you said you didn't bring any spare clothes with you... Late in the night, you insisted that I light two oil lamps so that you could mend your clothes. It turned out that you used the oil lamps to set the fire!" Yun Wei's face turned pale.

Stupid, so stupid!

I was fooled by the old lady...

But who could have thought, who could have thought!

"Yes, I remember now. The two of us fainted when you were mending clothes under the oil lamp... It must be you who secretly lit the incense with the oil lamp!" Yun Chan also had a grim expression.

How hateful! How hateful that the two of them thought they were completely safe by guarding the old lady, but who knew that they were quietly plotted against...

"Madam, Madam, please punish us. It's all our fault that we didn't pay attention and let the old lady plot against us!"

Yun Wei and Yun Chan both knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Qingyin.

"We two servants deserve to die, we two servants deserve to die!"

Shen Qingyin sighed softly: "You two should get up first."

The old lady is indeed cruel and ruthless, but she is not very scheming and has always been selfish, timid and cowardly.

But this time, it was obviously different. The old lady was not only bold and reckless, but also very scheming.

Not to mention the two girls, even she didn't expect it...

She returned her gaze to the old lady again.

"Grandma, do you recognize her or not?"

How could the old lady admit it?

"What? You guys have convicted me of a crime based on just a few random guesses? Do you think people are convicted based on their mouths? I don't accept it!"

"Since grandma refuses to admit it, we can only report it to the police." Shen Qingyin said coldly.

"No, don't report to the police!" Shen Rongyue came over and persuaded.

"We are all family, so let's talk it out. Second sister, grandma has always loved you the most. How could she set fire to Bixiyuan? It must be a misunderstanding..."

Qin Yueze also came over.

"That's right, Yinyin, grandma is not an outsider... Let's talk behind closed doors and not take this to the government office..."

Shen Qingyin snorted coldly: "A family? Talking behind closed doors? Sister and brother-in-law are not joking, right? It's not just Lingfeng Pavilion that was burned down today. Don't forget, there's also Longju Pavilion! What Longju Pavilion is, you two must know, right?"

"This matter will inevitably be reported to the palace. Not to mention grandma, even I, the owner of Bixiyuan, cannot escape responsibility!"

Shen Rongyue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Qin Yueze lost no time in saying, "Yinyin, don't worry. My father and I will definitely ask the emperor for mercy for you."

Shen Qingyin ignored him. Seeing that it was already dawn, he ordered someone, "Come here, report to the authorities in Jingzhao Prefecture."

Immediately a servant responded and went out.

Seeing that Shen Qingyin had made up his mind, Shen Rongyue and Qin Yueze didn't know what to say.

Originally, they didn't care about the old lady.

"Since we're reporting to the police, let's add two more people." Feng Yunmo said.

Shen Qing looked at Feng Yunmo in confusion.

Feng Yun Mo Ze winked at a guard boy beside him, and the boy knelt down:

"Madam, we were originally following your orders to guard outside the yard of Su Wenjin's family, but when a fire broke out, we were anxious to put out the fire, so we only left two people to continue guarding the place, while the others went to put out the fire... Who would have thought that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack Su Wenjin's family? Fortunately, Doctor Feng arrived and caught the thief..."

Shen Qingyin was slightly stunned, and then said: "Okay, I guess this thief must be in the same group as the arsonist. When the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture come, we will hand the thief over to the officials for interrogation."

The old lady listened attentively at first, but when the servant finished speaking, her face turned frighteningly pale and sweat began to appear on her forehead.

Shen Qingyin glanced at her and asked, "Grandma, what are you afraid of?"

"I, I'm not afraid at all... I just feel a little unwell..." The old lady's lips trembled.

He said he was not afraid, but even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Shen Qingyin ignored her.

The servant who reported to the police went away very quickly, and less than half an hour later, someone from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived.

Hearing that the fire was in the Bixi Garden of the General's Mansion and that the Emperor's old residence, Longju Pavilion, had also been burned down, Pei Xiren did not dare to delay for a moment and came in person.

After listening to Shen Qingyin's account of what happened, Pei Xiren went to the fire scene to investigate in person.

Another half hour passed, and Pei Xiren came out of the fire scene with a face full of soot. He bowed to Shen Qingyin and said:

"Madam, the scene has been investigated. According to my judgment, this fire must have been caused by arson. The source of the fire was indeed the third room in the west wing. I wonder who lives in this third room?"

Shen Qingyin looked at the old lady.

The old lady's face turned pale and she refused to admit it: "I don't know, I was asleep, how could I know?"

Pei Xiren saw this and said, "Madam, I'm afraid I have to take him back to Jingzhao Prefecture for interrogation."

"Please do as you wish, Lord Pei." Shen Qingyin had no intention of protecting the old lady at all.

Two yamen runners dragged the old lady out. The old lady scolded Shen Qingyin in a trembling voice: "You are unfilial! You are unfilial! You will be punished!"

Shen Qingyin pretended not to hear and turned his head to instruct the servant: "Didn't you say that there are two more thieves? Let's hand them over to Lord Pei to take away."

"Yes." The servant led the yamen runner to bring the people.

Wait until all the people from Jingzhao Prefecture have left.

Shen Qingyin also started to chase people away.

She said to Qin Yueze and Shen Rongyue.

"There are still many follow-up matters to be dealt with in Bixiyuan, so I will not keep you two here."

Shen Rongyue looked embarrassed: "Well, then we will go back first..."

As Qin Yueze walked out, he turned back and said, "Yinyin, don't worry. This fire has nothing to do with you. This prince will definitely plead for you!"

Shen Qingyin turned around and showed him his back.

"Madam, can you please talk to me for a moment?" Feng Yunmo suddenly said.

Shen Qingyin was stunned for a moment, then he and Feng Yunmo walked aside and raised his hand to wave away the servants who followed them.

After hearing Feng Yunmo's words clearly, Shen Qingyin was surprised: "What? There are no thieves? But two men in black were taken away just now?"

Feng Yunmo explained: "It's not that there were no thieves, but the two thieves saw me and the two guards guarding the courtyard, so they turned around and left when they reached the door. I was afraid that they were being tricked into leaving the mountain, so I didn't chase them. The two men in black who were just taken away were just two servants I asked to pretend to be..."

Shen Qingyin understood: "Dr. Feng did this to scare the old lady?"

Feng Yunmo nodded: "All is fair in war. The old lady has something to hide, so she will naturally be afraid."

"I have asked the servant to go up and explain the situation to Master Pei..."

Prince An's Mansion.

Qin Jinshu stamped her feet in anger:

"That old lady from the Shen family is really useless. She didn't even burn Shen Qingyin to death!"
