The little petite bag of the fourth master of Qingchuan

Chapter 188 Don't be afraid

Afraid of scaring Gu Yaoyao, the fourth elder brother didn't mention a single word about Guo Gege's suicide.

Although he didn't mention it, but Gu Yaoyao was in the front yard—the entire mansion was in chaos just now, and many servants ran to put out the fire.

Gu Yaoyao already knew about Guo Gege.

She thought about it and felt strange—she lived in Qinqiu Zhai.

She is also clear about the pattern of Guo Gege's room - behind the sleeping man's room is an open space, not a place with lush vegetation and easy to catch fire.

What's more, Guo Gege is a person who is rough and fine, and the maid Lanzhi beside him is also careful.

I've lived here for so long and nothing happened, so why did the water run out for no reason today?
She was thinking here, lowering her head in a daze, and suddenly felt a touch on her face.

When Gu Yaoyao raised her eyes, it was the fourth elder brother who raised her hand to hold her cheek, and said lovingly, "Are you scared?"

He misunderstood her when he saw that she kept silent and lowered her head in thought.

He put his arms around her shoulders.

Gu Yaoyao shook her head at him.

The fourth elder brother didn't believe it, but felt that Mrs. Gu was clearly afraid, but she still stood up strong in front of her.

With such a big event, even the long street outside was alarmed—would she not be afraid?
He reached out and patted her vest, coaxing her softly: "Hey, don't be afraid, stay here tonight, and I will send you back early tomorrow morning."

Gu Yaoyao was still thinking about Guo Gege, when she heard what the fourth elder brother said, she agreed kindly, then relaxed her body, and snuggled lazily into the fourth elder brother's arms.

She raised her head, looked at the face of the fourth elder brother, and said softly: "Master, have you found out the reason?"

This question is on point.

The fourth elder brother's face became serious, and he unconsciously exerted some strength in his palm—just pinching Gu Yaoyao's shoulder.

She frowned and whispered, "It hurts!"

The fourth elder brother realized this, and immediately let go of his hand.

Seeing that Gu Yaoyao still seemed to want to say something, he stretched out his finger, pressed against Gu Yaoyao's lips lightly, and sighed imperceptibly: "Don't ask, it's unknown."

Gu Yaoyao lightly bit his fingertips, but she didn't say anything more.

The fourth elder brother gently pinched her chin with the other hand: "Don't be naughty."

The servants came into the house, lightly turned off the lights, and the two of them went to bed and lay down again.

Gu Yaoyao turned her back, and the fourth elder brother hugged her slender waist from behind.

Being hugged by him, Gu Yaoyao turned around.

She hid half of her face under the quilt, only showing a pair of bright eyes outside, and she was face to face with the fourth elder brother.

The two looked at each other for a moment in the night, Gu Yaoyao immediately raised his hand, put his arm on his shoulder, and gently caressed the fourth elder brother's brow with the other hand.

The fourth elder brother also raised his arm, patted her back lightly, and watched Gu Shi gradually close his eyes.

Breathe deeply and long.

In the dark, the fourth elder brother thought of the sentence Guo Gege shouted in the fire just now, "Cian Fujin, save me!"

His eyes turned cold.

After the fire was extinguished, in addition to the slaves handling Guo Gege's body, the scene of the fire was still being investigated carefully—Guo Gege's maid, Lanzhi, was not burned, but she was found under a low wall in the yard.

When I found out, I was already dying, my throat was scorched black, and I was shocked to see it—I couldn’t speak, and I could only scream hoarsely when I was questioned.

After a cup of tea, I just watched the person leaning to the side.

Chased after her.

Afterwards, the fourth elder brother hurriedly went to Fujin main courtyard first, and after seeing that the second elder brother was fine, he returned to the study in the front yard.

In fact, it would be fine if he went straight back to the front yard.

But this time he went to the main courtyard——Li Jie Fujin found out, and his heart was almost on fire with jealousy: Sure enough, it is easier to see Si Ye's heart clearly only when something happens.

Can you see the difference now?
The fourth elder brother loves his son-in-law very much.

On the other hand, Hongyu didn't come to take a look.

They are all biological sons, even if the concubines are different, how can a father be so ruthless?
Jiaoyun also knew that Fang Fujin was angry, so she tried to persuade Li Fangfujin not to make a fool of herself.

This matter does not necessarily have to involve the distinction between the concubine and the concubines.

After all, the second elder brother is just a baby in his infancy.

Comparing the two children together - the younger one will definitely be more painful to the father.

It is the same principle for the common people.

She was right, and Shi'er echoed and persuaded her a few words.

Not at all.

The more Li Fangfujin thought about it, the more he felt wronged for his son.

She reached out and put down the teacup in her hand, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and went to look at her son again.

Hongyu had already been washed and slept by the servants.

Li Fangfujin exited the room lightly, returned to the brightly lit main room, and walked to the window.

She opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky. Just as she wanted to blow a cool breeze for a while, she was choked and coughed by the coke-like breath blown by the wind again.

Jiao Yun and Shi'er hurried over to help close the windows tightly - the embers of the Qinqiuzhai hadn't been extinguished yet.

Li Fangfujin walked to the beauty's couch, leaned on the cushions and lay down, his mind was always echoing the cry of the second elder brother just now.

That tofu-like white and tender little face.

That cries like a kitten...

My son, honorable, so what?
A child who is only so young—whether he can raise him or not is another matter!

……

In the evening of the next day, the fourth elder brother and Fujin had just returned from the palace - Su Peisheng led people to report.

His biggest task this day is to find out about this matter.

The cause of the water leakage was found out.

It was a little girl from Guo Gege who was on duty last night and felt hungry, so she dozed off and secretly buried sweet potatoes in a warm pot.

As a result, he was called out by the maid from the other room halfway to ask about things.

As soon as she interrupted, the little girl forgot about the warm basin.

After all, this day is not yet time to burn the hot pot - if it is not for a greedy bite, people will easily forget it.

However, the wind has been strong these days, and by the time it was discovered, the fire had already started--the sparks had floated onto the brick roof.

In Qinqiu Zhai, there are wooden structures everywhere, almost ignited in case of fire. Once the fire spreads, it is impossible for gods to stop it.

The little girl was terrified. In the middle of the night yesterday, when Su Peisheng led people to investigate, the servants questioned her one by one—when it came to this little girl, she just kept crying.

Su Peisheng is not a vegetarian either, as soon as the master left, he immediately let go of his harsh words - if someone does not report the knowledge, or conceals the report, it is considered the same crime.

Even worse.

If it is impossible to find out who caused the trouble in the end, then the master will not be troubled.

In the final analysis, Qin Qiuzhai's troubles were caused by the servants not keeping watch at night and carefully checking everywhere.

This night, every servant in Qinqiu Zhai was responsible.

Then everyone will be severely punished!
This time, the maids and eunuchs panicked.
