I drank a lot of milk to calm down the shock. The whole family was waiting for me to rescue them.

Chapter 46 Fire

Su Jingwen immediately picked up Jiu Jiu and rushed out with the other two people following Dong Xiao.

When we got all the way to an open place, we saw my mother and others already waiting there.

"Mom, where's the fire?"

Yun Jinglan supported the panicked Su Jingwen and opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

How can such a large place only have one corner of the Zhuyuan on fire?

The laborers ran out and were surprised to see that the haystack was burning.

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

Su Jingwen and Jiu Jiu looked at each other, and the little guy looked away with guilt.

[What to look at, Jiujiu doesn’t know! 】

What were you tweeting about just now? Burn out? Are there haystacks in the Bamboo Garden?
  This is a big deal!
  Su Jingwen handed the tweet to his mother, turned around and ran away.

"Mom, you hold Jiujiu first. I'll come as soon as I go!"

Yun Jinglan hugged Jiu Jiu and tried to catch the panicked Su Jingwen, but her other hand was empty: "Where are you going?"

"I'll come as soon as I go!"

[Brother doesn’t want us! 】

Yun Jinglan withdrew her concerned eyes and tapped her hand on Jiujiu's forehead. This little guy can talk nonsense.

"Jiujiu, be good, brother must have something important to do."

Jiujiu glanced at her mother strangely: [How important is it? Throw homework into the fire? 】

[Oh, no. My brother didn't do his homework today! 】

[Hey, mom and dad don’t know, so just burn it. 】

Su Xiucheng: My family, we are sweating profusely!

Yun Jinglan: Now I know!

The fire in the Bamboo Garden actually only occurred in a small area, and the servants found out in time that it was extinguished before it caused a major disaster.

It's just that the original place was burned beyond recognition, and only a piece of charred black grass can be distinguished.

"Strange, what was originally placed here? Why are there so many weeds?"

"I don't remember either. It seems that Nanny Qin put it here for a while. Then she died and she forgot about it."

"Hey, do you think Nanny Qin is back?"

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year!"

"I am……"

"What are you?"

"Master Ciao!"

Su Jingwen hid behind him, avoiding Qiao Muyang who suddenly appeared.

Why is this person here?

Qiao Muyang turned his back to Su Jingwen, glanced at the burned haystack, and frowned: "How could something so good catch fire?"

The two boys laughed awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

How do they know why the fire started. No one comes here usually, who would notice. And the key is still in Nanny Zhang's hand, how could they know.

Qiao Muyang had a cold face and raised his head slightly as if he didn't bother to deal with these two servants: "You should be punished for being a slave and not worrying about the master's family!" One of them kept complaining: "Young Master Biao, we really don't know how. It’s okay. Thick smoke was already rising from here when we discovered it. And the fire was not big, so it didn’t burn anything.”

"Nothing was burned? Hehe, every plant and tree in this Marquis Mansion is worthless. Do you, a servant, need to judge whether this thing is expensive or not?"

"Young Master Biao..."

He wanted to say something else, but someone around him pulled him to shut up.

"Master Ciao said that the slaves were not doing their best. We will go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment later. Master Ciao, please forgive me."

Qiao Muyang pretended to tidy up his cuffs, and then ordered the two of them: "Dispose of these things as soon as possible. Be careful of the old lady scolding you so that you can't eat and walk around!"

"It's dead grass, so just bury it and use it as nutrients for the trees in the garden."

"Yes, young master cousin."

For some reason, although Qiao Muyang had his back to Su Jingwen, he could still feel the importance Qiao Muyang attached to the pile of ashes.

However, this person only talked verbally and did not take any actions. After confirming that the two of them were really cleaning up the trash, they left.

"Brother Zhang, this matter obviously has nothing to do with us, why does Mr. Ciao punish us?"

The man called Brother Zhang sneered: "Call him to show that the young master really regards himself as a serious master. He is just like that, don't talk to him. We do what we do. The housekeeper knows his virtues and will not punish him." Ours.”

"Really?" This person must have just arrived in the house a short time ago and is still a little timid. "But I think the old lady likes Young Master Ciao very much, even more than the other young masters in our house!"

Brother Zhang: "What's the use of the old lady's liking? This Marquis's Mansion belongs to our Lord Marquis, and his surname is Su. The surname will be Su for generations to come. No matter how much the old lady likes it, can our Marquis' Mansion be renamed Qiao?"

"Hahaha, my young master used chicken feathers as a ceremonial arrow. Why did you believe it? Okay, be quick and clean it up quickly, otherwise he will look for trouble again."

It was obvious that Brother Zhang had been dissatisfied with Qiao Muyang for a long time, and he was always swearing.

Su Jingwen walked out when he saw that they had packed up the pile of waste and prepared to bury it according to Qiao Muyang's words.

"Is this the pile of hay that was on fire just now?"

"Third, third young master?" Brother Zhang, "Why are you here?"

Su Jingwen seemed more restrained and smiled softly: "My study is close to here. If I see the smoke, I will come over and take a look, for fear of something happening."

"It was just thick smoke just now, and these things were on fire?"

Brother Zhang slapped his thigh and said curiously: "Isn't that right! Third Young Master, I brought such a big bucket just now, but who knew that it would only be a small flame and two buckets of water. I'd like to ask you to make this trip in vain." "

Su Jingwen: "It's not a big fire, as long as no one was hurt. Are you going to dump these now?"

Brother Zhang: "Master Cousin gave us orders to take it to the garden and bury it."

"Yuanzi is buried?" Su Jingwen frowned and seemed to be struggling with something.

And Brother Zhang is also a good observer of words and emotions, and immediately asked: "Third Young Master, is there something wrong?"

Su Jingwen deliberately frightened the two of them: "My grandfather hired someone to cultivate the green-calyx plums in the garden. In the summer, he transplanted a few rare peonies. They are usually taken care of by someone. If you bury the waste at will, you will not be safe." If something happens...I'm just afraid that my grandfather will blame me!"

The two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Qiao Muyang was determined to retaliate. If he found out that they didn't obey her orders, he would definitely put eye drops in front of the old lady, and then they would be punished again.

It’s really displeasing to both sides!
  Su Jingwen was also aware of their current difficulties, so he said considerately: "I just happened to learn how to grow flowers, why don't you send them to my place. Cousin Qiao has a problem, and we come to the same end by different roads. You can also give me another explanation. How about it?"

"Third Young Master is smart!" Brother Zhang agreed. When the old lady asked, she said that Third Young Master had taken it away. It was all the master's business anyway, so the slave was not to blame!
  "Then send it to me. But Cousin Qiao is in a bad mood recently, so you'd better not reveal it casually, or you might use it as an excuse. Be careful with your monthly money."

"Yes, yes, the third young master is still thoughtful!"

Looking at the two people walking away, Su Jingwen curled his lips.

But something that Qiao Muyang can personally examine is certainly not simple!
  Maybe it’s the mind-bending grass!

But why are there mind-boggling plants in my grandmother’s yard?
