In the Peony Garden, Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue had just laid down to rest when they heard servants rushing to report that a fire had broken out near Chaoyang Garden.

Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue looked at each other. They always felt that things were not that simple. When they thought that Zhou Zhuo lived in Chaoyang Courtyard, they quickly got dressed and went to Chaoyang Courtyard.

When the couple arrived at Chaoyang Garden, the fire was already quite fierce and thick smoke was billowing into the sky.

The servants around were trying to put out the fire with buckets of water, but the fire didn't seem to show any signs of abating.

"How could this happen?" Su Yuanwang frowned and directed everyone loudly: "Speed ​​up, housekeeper, send more people to put out the fire quickly!"

Zhou Ruoxue walked into Chaoyang Garden with an anxious look on her face, but when she saw that there was no one on the bed, her heart immediately sank to the bottom.

"Where is Zhuo'er? Who is taking care of Zhuo'er? Why is there no one in the room?"

At this moment, a maid ran over in a hurry, knelt in front of Zhou Ruoxue, and said tremblingly, "Madam, please spare me. I went to the kitchen to get medicine just now, and when I came back, I found that the fire had broken out, and Master Zhou was nowhere to be found."

Zhou Ruoxue shouted angrily, "Then why did you come back? Go find her quickly. If anything happens to Zhuo'er, you will go to the Zhou Mansion and die to make amends!"

The maid turned pale upon hearing this, and trembled all over. "Madam, I have searched Chaoyang Garden thoroughly, but I still can't find Master Zhou."

Zhou Ruoxue took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "A Ling, take some maids and go look for Zhuo Er."

The A Ling that Zhou Ruoxue mentioned is Lin Ling, her personal nanny.

Nanny Lin quickly agreed and took a group of people to look for Zhou Zhuo.

At this time, Su Yuanzhe and Old Madam Su also hurried over. Old Madam Su looked anxious, and her hand on the crutches was shaking slightly: "Why did the fire suddenly start? What happened?"

Su Yuanzhe frowned as he looked at the fire, but he still comforted Madam Su softly, "Mother, don't worry, wait until the fire is out, and then we can investigate the cause of the fire. Brother, no one is injured, right?"

Su Yuan looked at the fire with doubts in his heart. He said to Su Yuanzhe: "I just came here too, and I don't know the specific situation yet, but I think the fire is so fierce that it doesn't seem to be an accident."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ruoxue hurriedly walked out of Chaoyang Garden with tears in her eyes.

"Master, Zhuo'er is missing. I have asked people to search the entire Chaoyang Garden but couldn't find her. Please send more people to help look for her."

Old Madam Su, Su Yuanwang, and Su Yuanzhe were all startled when they heard this. It was not a big deal if one or two servants were killed in a fire at the Su family's home.

But if Zhou Zhuo was really lost, it would be troublesome. The Zhou family would definitely fight to the death with their Su family.

Su Yuanwang gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, don't panic. I will give the order right away and have people search carefully every place."

Su Yuanzhe also quickly responded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will also send my people to help find it."

Madam Su glanced at Zhou Ruoxue and said slowly, "Don't worry too much, eldest daughter-in-law. Maybe the boy from the Zhou family woke up on his own and wanted to go out for a walk."

Zhou Ruoxue felt choked by Madam Su's words, because she knew very well that even if Zhou Zhuo really woke up at this time, he would not be able to walk easily due to the injuries in his lower body.

At this time, Su Song, the steward of the Su Mansion, trotted over with a group of servants carrying buckets full of water.

Seeing this, Su Yuanwang called Steward Su over and ordered, "A Song, except for the people who put out the fire, everyone else should disperse and look for Master Zhou. Don't let any corner go!"

Su Song was surprised. He didn't expect that Young Master Zhou disappeared at this time. He didn't dare to delay and immediately accepted the order. However, just as he left, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Master, the fire started because people in the eldest girl's yard suddenly caught fire. There were three of them, namely Chang Pu, Jia Tao and Cui He.

The fire on the three of them has been put out. Although they have survived, their skin was severely burned. "

Zhou Ruoxue's eyes were stern. How could this be related to Su Yue again? Could it be that Su Yue did this? But why did she do this? And is she that capable?

When Su Yuanwang heard that it was Su Yue's people, he became even more confused. "Why did they suddenly catch fire? And why did the three of them appear here?"

Steward Su wiped the sweat off his head and replied, "I didn't have time to check because the three maids woke up for a while and then fainted again from the pain.

The guards who first discovered them said that as soon as they found them, they saw that the three of them were already on fire. "

"What about Miss Yue? Have you seen Miss Yue?" asked Old Madam Su.

Steward Su shook his head and said, "Madam, I didn't hear the guards mention that the eldest lady was also present."

Old Madam Su felt relieved when she heard this. She really didn't want Su Yue to have any connection with Zhou Zhuo.

Su Yuanwang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. It's more important to find Zhou Zhuo first."

Although the fire was gradually brought under control and became smaller and smaller, there was still smoke everywhere, which made people feel uncomfortable.

So several masters moved to the main house of Chaoyang Garden not far away to wait for the result.

After a while, Su Yao and her twin brother Su Zelin, as well as the second wife's legitimate son Su Zexuan and legitimate daughter Su Rou also rushed over after hearing the news.

When Su Zexuan arrived, the first thing he did was to greet Old Madam Su and then explain on behalf of his mother.

"Grandma, Dad, the reason why mother didn't come is that I told the servants not to disturb her. Because I heard that mother's headache came back, I wanted her to rest for a while."

Madam Su was quite satisfied with her second son's wife, Wang Qiaoya, so she didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, she praised Su Zexuan.

"You have always been a filial child, and your grandmother is not an unreasonable person. If your mother is unwell, you should not disturb her."

Su Zexuan felt relieved after hearing what Old Madam Su said.

Su Yao asked with concern: "Father, mother, what's going on? Why did cousin Zhou Zhuo disappear?"

Su Zelin also echoed: "Yes, this fire started strangely, and my cousin is missing. Could it be someone did it on purpose?"

Su Yuanwang said with a serious face: "It is not clear yet, and we are asking people to look for it."

Zhou Ruoxue was in a state of confusion at this moment, and she looked out the door from time to time. Nanny Lin had been looking for him for so long and still hadn't come back. That meant that Zhou Zhuo hadn't been found yet.

Zhou Ruoxue really couldn't imagine how she would explain to her elder brother and sister-in-law if she really couldn't find it.

Su Yao also saw Zhou Ruoxue's ugly face. She did not say anything to comfort her but instead let out a deep breath.

Because she was in a bad mood today, and the only coming-of-age ceremony in her life was ruined.

And when she was getting ready to take a bath, she discovered that the jade necklace given to her by Old Madam Su had become dull.

At that time, Su Yao was somewhat suspicious that the jade necklace given by Old Madam Su was definitely not top-grade jade. The aggrieved thing was that even if it was not top-grade jade, she could not take it to Old Madam Su to question her.

After finally convincing myself to be at ease and just about to go to sleep, I heard that there was a fire in the mansion and that cousin Zhou Zhuo was missing. There was nothing going well this day.

Just when everyone was silent, Nanny Lin rushed in and said, "Madam, we still haven't found our cousin."

Everyone's heart sank again, and Zhou Ruoxue felt a chill in her heart when she heard that, and she suddenly felt a blackness in front of her eyes.
