By the time the roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts were cooked, Gu Jinhe still hadn't caught a single fish.

Gu Jinhe simply put away his fishing rod and gave up.

The three of them sat around the oven and ate roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts, accompanied by a cup of refreshing tea, which was the most comfortable enjoyment in this early winter season.

Roasted sweet potatoes are soft, sweet and have a delicate taste, while roasted chestnuts are more gritty and have a smoother taste.

Each has its own deliciousness.

The air in the pavilion was filled with a sweet scent.

In fact, it was not only Gu Jinhe who knew Murong Qingming’s birthday. People outside who knew the news were all quietly paying attention to the actions of the Murong family.

Everyone was wondering how the Murong family would give Murong Qingming death.

Yes, what a way to die.

No one believed that Murong Qingming, who had just returned to the Murong family less than half a year ago, could overthrow Murong Qinghui and take the position of the head of the Murong family.

So everyone was waiting for Murong Qinghui to take action.

It can be said that ever since Murong Qingming returned to the Murong family, he has been quite well behaved, at least he has not done anything outside.

It is said that he has never left the house since he entered the Murong family. If one did not know the inheritance rules of the Murong family, one would probably suspect that something had happened to him after he entered the door of the Murong family.

As the time got closer, everyone's attention was on the Murong family.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was a week later, which was Murong Qingming's 28th birthday.

I don’t know what Murong Qingming was thinking, he actually wanted to hold a grand birthday party on this day.

To outsiders, this seems like he's not dying fast enough.

When Murong Qingming exhausts the Murong family's patience, his death will not be far away.

After today, Murong Qingming's head seemed to be hanging on his belt at all times, and it was hard to tell when it would fall off.

Today is January 1st, Murong Qingming’s 28th birthday.

For some unknown reason, the Murong family did not object to Murong Qingming's request to hold a birthday party.

Although no outsiders were invited, only members of the Murong family, including those from other branches, participated.

The outside world only received news that the Murong family was going to hold a birthday party for Murong Qingming, but no one else knew.

During the day, everything was quiet and nothing happened, but things changed at night.

First, several brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky in the direction of Murong’s old house.

This shocked many people because the Murong family had been low-key for so many years and had never set off fireworks even during the Chinese New Year.

This release made many people stunned.

Then he pondered in his heart, is Murong Qingming so respected in the Murong family?

Not to mention others, since Murong Qinghui was born, has the Murong family ever set off a fireworks display for him?

But after years of observation, no.

Fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up almost the entire sky.

When the moon is full in the sky, the fireworks can compete with the moon for brightness.

Then at this moment, everyone who was still far away from the Murong family's old house heard a loud bang!

"boom--!"

There was a feeling of the earth shaking, this was clearly the sound of explosives!

Many people walked out of the room and looked at the sky in the distance. Standing on a high place, they could see a huge black mushroom cloud rising in the sky towards Murong's old house, and this mushroom cloud was showing a tendency to expand outward.

Everyone was first dazzled by the gorgeous fireworks, and then they were shocked by the huge mushroom cloud.

What's going on here?

Could it be that the fireworks blew up the Murong family's old house? !

But this is impossible. Although there are not many fireworks in recent years, who has never set off fireworks?

Whose fireworks could create such a big mushroom cloud?

This was clearly not caused by fireworks.

I've heard that the Murong family has a munitions and explosives factory. Maybe they had these flammable things stored at home and were accidentally ignited by fireworks.

Although everyone knows that such an idea is impossible, if these things were present at home, how could they be left outside and ignited by fireworks?

It must be placed in a safe place away from fire.

But what about this mushroom cloud?

The Murong family was temporarily unaware of the turmoil in the outside world because all the members of the Murong family had already gone out.

"Put out the fire!"

"Find a fire extinguisher and a hose!"

Almost everyone who was able to move participated in the fire-fighting and rescue efforts.

There was no other reason. The Murong family's home was built deep in the mountains. There was a forest outside the courtyard wall. It was already early winter and there were many dead leaves on the ground. Once they were contaminated by fire, they would inevitably cause a big fire. I'm afraid that the entire Murong family's house would be destroyed in the fire.

The Murong family was in chaos at the time, and no one noticed the differences in some hidden places.

The flames shot up from above the house, and a huge burning sensation was felt. If you were close, you could feel the tingling sensation on your skin.

At this time, Murong's family was focused on putting out the fire.

Time passed minute by minute, and after midnight, the fire finally got smaller thanks to everyone's efforts.

Then everyone fell silent as they looked at the house which was left with only an empty shell.

Finally someone couldn't help but ask, "Whose yard is this?"

Yeah, whose yard is this?

The fire spread so fiercely that the people inside had no chance to escape and they would probably have been burned to ashes by now.

At this time, someone was heard saying in a doubtful voice: "This seems to be... Murong Qingming's yard?!"

what? !

Murong Qingming's yard?

Everyone looked at the time again, and coincidentally, January 1st had just passed, and now it was the early morning of January 2nd.

Some people couldn't help but turn their eyes to Murong Qinghui who was standing in front of them silently.

Everyone knew that this fire was suspicious. If it was an ordinary fire, it should have been put out long ago.

But the fire seemed to be fueled by fuel, with an arrogance that would not stop until the entire yard was burned down.

And what a coincidence! Today was Murong Qingming's 28th birthday. He was engulfed in fire just after his birthday, and not even his shadow could be seen.

Who wouldn't have doubts at this moment that this fire might have been set by Murong Qinghui?

Because only he has the motivation and ability.

Apart from the head of the Murong family, who else has the ability to set such a big fire without making a sound?

If the fire is not controlled properly, it may endanger other houses, otherwise everyone would not be so anxious to put out the fire.

But now that the fire is out, the once beautiful courtyard has become a mess, with wooden furniture emitting black smoke everywhere.

Some people frowned and looked at Murong Qinghui, thinking that Murong Qinghui had gone too far. Even if they wanted to kill Murong Qingming, there was no need to use such a method.

This is completely a case of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting your own side by eight hundred.

Murong Qingming, there is a high probability that he will not survive.

But the yard is gone too.

It also needs to be rebuilt, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and thankless.
