Soon, besides the whistling sound of the wind, there was other noise outside!

Then I heard a hole in the window and someone was looking inside!

There was a sound of "Hmm" from outside, and maybe after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside!

Soon, two people flashed in. With the moonlight shining in from outside the door, they saw three figures sitting on the earthen kang and were stunned for a moment!

I guess I didn't expect that everyone was so fine!

Just as they were about to move, they saw two objects smashing towards their heads respectively. Before the two men could move, they fell down in a daze!

Only a woman's voice was heard:

"Boss, are you okay?"

The other woman said in a rougher voice:

"These two damn guys were originally going to start a fire, but somehow they changed their minds and came in to do something bad!"

Su Qingling responded, "It's okay!

She was a little scared. She had originally thought that everything had been arranged properly so that if there was a fire, it would be easier to escape if the door was not closed!

However, I didn’t expect that this life was somewhat different from the previous one. The original one person had become two people. Maybe, there were also two people in the previous life, but I just didn’t know it!

And people in the previous life didn’t enter the house, let alone have such thoughts!

The two women tied up the two people who were knocked unconscious, and then slapped one of them in the face!

The man woke up in a daze, his eyes alert!

"Who sent you here and what is your purpose?"

Su Qingling's voice was cold and he asked the question slowly and calmly!

The man rolled his eyes:

"Hehe, we just got lost and bumped into here. Please forgive us, Madam!"

"Oh? In the dark, you can actually tell the difference between the young mistress and the young lady? Are you a night owl?"

"Or... you already knew me?"

Su Qingling said it lightly, but there was inexplicably murderous intent hidden in his words!

The man instinctively shrank back and smiled awkwardly:

"Haha, the younger one guessed it based on the sound... guessed it!"

Su Qingling did not say anything, and saw Qiuxiang pull out a needle from a small box in her bag, and said sinisterly:

"Since this person doesn't tell the truth, he should suffer. Let me do it!"

He raised his hand and inserted the needle into the man's mute point. The man who had been able to speak a moment ago was now unable to utter a single word, and his eyes widened in horror!

Qiu Xiang smiled and said, "I used to read it in the book Uncle Qi gave me, but I didn't have a place to practice. Now it's good, I finally have two places to start!"

"I remember Uncle Qi said there are a few acupuncture points that leave no marks when pierced, but amplify the pain many times, and the person in pain wants to bang his head to death. Today I can finally show off my skills!"

After saying that, he slowly approached the person, shook the needle in his hand, and inserted it into one of the acupuncture points!

As the needle pierced into the acupuncture point, the man's head was sweating and his body was twitching in pain, but there was nowhere to hide!

The other person had just woken up at this time. Although his companion did not make any sound, the humming sound from his mouth reminded him that this person was being punished!

In panic, he simply shouted:

"I said... I said... someone gave us some money and asked us to set fire to the outside of this house in the middle of the night, and then call for help while the chaos was going on!"

"...We don't have to worry about the rest!"

Chunlan said angrily: "This group of despicable people are waiting for the fire to start, and then the young lady will run away and make other plans!"

Su Qingling sneered:

"In that case, do you recognize that person when you see him again? Is he a man or a woman? Where did he find you? What did you want to do when you ran into the house?"

The man thought for a while before saying:

"I don't know if it was a boy or a girl, but he found us in a dilapidated temple outside the city. We were wearing a bamboo hat and black clothes, and we were covered tightly!"

"He gave each of us two taels of silver and told us to set fire to the designated house tonight! The silver is still in our pockets. If you don't believe me, you can take it out and have a look!"

"...To be honest, Madam, we just had this idea on impulse. We thought that those who could come here must be noble people, so they should have good things, so we wanted to get some silver!"

"Is there anything else?"

"...No...No more...Madam, I have told you everything I know, and I beg you to let us go! At that time, the man said that we only needed to set fire and no one would die, so we took the job!"

The other one who was acupunctured nodded frantically:

Damn it, he suffered so much pain just for setting fire to scare people!

One of the women really searched the two men's pockets for silver. Seeing that the boss asked them to divide it, she smiled and handed two taels to her companion, feeling very happy:

You won’t suffer any loss if you follow your boss!

"What are your names?"

"The younger one is called Pi Er, and he is my brother Pi Si!"

The woman with a rough voice said:

"Boss, there are a few piles of firewood outside. What should we do?"

Su Qingling: "Move the firewood farther away. As long as the fire doesn't burn the house for the time being, it'll be fine!"

Looking at these two people again:

"If you want to stay alive, leave quickly!"

The two men then felt scared and nodded repeatedly tremblingly!

Qiu Xiang gave him a needle, and the speechless man felt his throat suddenly relaxed, and he thanked her repeatedly:

"Thank you for not killing me, Madam. If you need us in the future, we will not refuse!"

Chunlan frowned, worried:

"Miss, it won't be bad to let these two go, right?"

Su Qingling: "It's okay, this is just a trigger, and it won't be difficult for us to catch them!"

Qiuxiang looked at the young lady with confusion in her eyes!

Su Qingling knew what she meant:

"These two are still useful. We only have these few people in the yard. If we don't let them go, it will cause trouble!"

"You two should light the fire in the yard first, and then go wherever you need to go!"

The two men hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Su Qingling did not move, they all went out of the house, lit the fire and left in a hurry!

"After a while, we will go to the fourth courtyard of the main hall!"

Madam Hou Liu Diejing was just lying there, but she was not asleep, and her heart was beating wildly!

Fortunately, her second uncle and his family will not return to the capital for another two days. Otherwise, they would have to deal with a lot of things, which would be very troublesome!

While I was still thinking about this and that, I heard Mother Wu excitedly yelling:

"Ma'am, there's a fire!"

Soon, the candles in the room were lit, and the room became brighter little by little!

Liu Diejing didn't care about anything else, she quickly stood up and told her personal maid Caixia:

"Go next door quickly, wake up the two young ladies, pack up your things, and ask them to come over quickly!"

Then he echoed to his second daughter-in-law:

"Get dressed! There's a fire outside. It's quite dangerous. Let's go home overnight!"

Liu Meixin's pupils constricted. She suddenly returned home at this time, and her mother-in-law gave her so many instructions, but why didn't she mention her eldest sister-in-law!

I have a bad feeling. Could it be that he came here to target my sister-in-law?

While Liu Meixin was being helped by the maid to put on her coat, she reminded:

"Mother, sister-in-law..."

Before Xiao Liu finished speaking, Mother Wu quickly took over the conversation:

"Second Young Madam, don't worry, Caixia knows what to do. If she calls this side, she will naturally call that side!"
