Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 958

Pei Ruogu shook his head, "It is said that the fire was struck by the fire on the firewood. The sky was dry and the things were dry. The thunder fire ignited a large house at once, and finally killed hundreds of people, including Mrs. You and Mrs. Zhang. Inside, there is no one left alive."

"Thunder fire?"

Xu Lingyue didn't believe that lightning could kill a person instantly, but it was impossible to cause such a big fire.

Moreover, such thunder and lightning will be followed by heavy rain. How could it be possible that only thunder caused thunder and fire, and then there was no rain?
This is not reasonable.

Pei Ruogu nodded, "It's indeed thunder and fire. It hasn't rained for several days. The summer is extremely hot, and there is a spark. The most important thing is that someone saw a lightning strike that house, and then it ignited instantly. The wind helped Although many people went to rescue the fire, hundreds of people died."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue's heart skipped a beat, "Does the government still have files on the people who lived there and died?"

Ming Yi said: "This is easy to handle, let Yu Gou send someone to investigate immediately."

Yu Gou took the order to arrange it quickly.

Xu Lingyue said to Ming Yi: "I remembered that Mrs. Wen's sister, son and daughter-in-law died of thunder and fire. The specific place and year can be checked by someone to see if it is Huirenfang."

Ming Yi nodded and let Ye Bing and Lan Ying go.

Pei Ruogu looked at the two of them, rubbed his face with his hands, wiped away his tears, and said, "A few months before Ah Fang's death, I did receive a letter from Empress Jade, and that letter made me She was restless and could see that she was angry and scared. I tried to comfort her and tried to make her feel better by talking about it, but she just refused to say it. Later, she became happy again. When I asked again, Ah Fang said It's all right."

Thinking of the details of that day, Pei Ruogu felt an indescribable pain, seeing the woman he loved was afraid and worried about something, but he was unable to share it.

He even blamed Xu Yaoqing for this, since he married Ah Fang, why couldn't he protect her well, understand her heart, and solve her pain.

It's a pity that if Ah Fang didn't say anything, no one would know about that matter forever.

Xu Lingyue and Pei Ruogu chatted for a while, asked a few questions, and solved some doubts in their hearts.

Finally she said: "Uncle Pei, do you want to stay in the academy or come with me?"

A smile that could not be called a smile appeared on Pei Ruogu's face, "I want to go back to the garden."

Gu Garden has been deserted since the owner was killed. It is said that the Empress Dowager ordered it to be sealed off. Later, the emperor woke up and did not give the garden to others. It has been empty there.

Pei Ruogu had lived there for a period of time when it was locked down, so it's no problem to live there now.

Xu Lingyue asked: "Uncle Pei, have you thought about your future plans?"

Pei Ruogu stared at her.

Xu Lingyue said: "You have been hidden for so many years, and now you have suddenly returned to the bustling capital, do you plan to continue living in seclusion in Gu Yuan?"

Pei Ruogu thought for a while, and said seriously: "My Pei family has been unwilling to be an official for generations, and I like learning, but sometimes learning is not very useful."

If he was not just a scholar back then, he could have found a way to counter the queen mother's hegemony.

Ming Yi looked at him and said, "If Mr. Pei wants to be an official, it's not appropriate now. Why don't you leave this matter to Ling'er and me."

Pei Ruogu smiled and said: "You do yours, I do mine, maybe one day, I can help you too."
