Chapter 31 Fire
"Sister-in-law, it's just two slaves. Sister-in-law, don't talk about everything seriously. If you want me to say, they are looking for trouble! Otherwise, can't you talk well in the kitchen? Can't you talk to the master if you have any grievances? Let them Trouble? The people around sister-in-law, huh, what kind of character is it, don't sister-in-law know?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter approvingly, and it was the first time that she felt that her daughter's words were so well-founded.

"Ruyu is right. It is wrong for them to cause trouble. If there is something wrong, you should report it to the master, and the master will deal with it. Instead of making a scene like a shrew. If everyone is like them, wouldn't the house be in chaos?"

Lu Ruyu was even more proud: "That's right, Lu Feng's family has already received the punishment, I think the two girls Chunfeng and Qiuyu should also be punished, otherwise how can they convince the public? Sister-in-law will never protect her own people, right?"

"Sister-in-law, don't tell the truth," Luo Weiyun said mercilessly at Lu Ruyu, "If I was there, I would have smashed and thrown away everything in the kitchen! Even a servant dares to deceive and humiliate me as a young lady deliberately. , what’s wrong with my girl’s injustice for me and saving my pearly face? Instead of punishing them, I’ll reward them! Sister-in-law is like this, so could it be that aunt-in-law instructed the kitchen? Is it because of the wisteria garden?”

"you--"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Lu was furious, "Luo Shi, what nonsense are you talking about! Who allows you to talk nonsense and ruin Ruyu's reputation?"

Luo Weiyun remained silent, but still looked at Lu Ruyu coldly with suspicious eyes, as if she believed that this matter was instigated by Lu Ruyu behind her back.

Lu Feng's family moved their mouths, wanting to say something that had nothing to do with the young lady, but they didn't dare to speak.

Opening the mouth at this moment is purely to provoke fire, she can't do such a stupid thing.

"You're really——I'm so mad!" Mrs. Lu trembled with anger, pointing at Luo Weiyun: "Forget it this time, from now on, no one is allowed to mess around in the mansion, otherwise, the family law will deal with it! You all Listen to me!"

Lu Ruyu was extremely aggrieved: "What does this have to do with me? Why are you slandering me?"

Luo Weiyun also had tears in her eyes, stubbornly affirming her own thoughts: "Since my mother has said so, what else can I say? I can't go against my mother. After all, it's all caused by those dowry, so let's keep doing it." What? Simply set it on fire! Daughter-in-law resigns!"

Luo Weiyun saluted angrily, and left angrily.

Lu Ruyu: "Mother, look at her attitude! Who gave her the courage!"

"Okay," Madam Lu, why are you angry?But Lu Feng's family didn't preoccupied with this matter first, they got all the handles caught, and they were caught right away, without even ambiguous words, what could she do?
"From Lu Feng's family, if there is another moth in the kitchen in the future, you don't have to do this job."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go down!"

"Yes, yes." Lu Feng's family was covered in cold sweat, and hurriedly retreated as if relieved.

"Tell me honestly, did you order this?" Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Ruyu.

"Mom!" Lu Ruyu was so angry that her nose was about to smoke: "Why do you think so! What does this matter have to do with me? No!"

Lu Ruyu was really depressed, even her own mother thought so, let alone Luo Weiyun?
"Okay, okay, no, no, why are you so anxious? You don't look like a lady at all."

Lu Ruyu became even more angry and aggrieved, "You wronged me, and you are not allowed to cry out?"

Mrs. Lu was at a loss for words, and after a while she was in a panic: "You child!"

Xiang Mammy quickly apologized and persuaded her.

No one took Luo Weiyun's words about burning the dowry before leaving seriously, they only thought it was just an angry remark.

How rich her dowry is, no one in the whole family knows?Where would you be willing to burn it up with such a fire?
Even if her Luo family is rich, it's impossible for her to burn things worth thousands of dollars for fun.

until midnight
That night, the entire Lu Mansion was exhausted and turned on their backs. Not only the servants in the mansion ran and screamed and made a mess, but they also alarmed the Jingwei who were in charge of the security of the capital.

When the fire was finally extinguished at dawn, the three buildings with two entrances had all been burned to ashes.

Mrs. Lu had to bear the pain in her heart and took out the money to send away the Jingwei who put out the fire. She repeatedly explained to people that these were some old houses that were vacant on weekdays, and that some old slave who was on duty at night accidentally started the fire while resting there. It alarmed the poor men, but fortunately it did not cause a major disaster.
As soon as the person left, Madam Lu angrily ordered Luo Weiyun to follow her with a black face.

Where is this vacant old house?It's the warehouse where Luo Weiyun stores the dowry!
The three rooms were originally filled to the brim, but the result was that the fire was thoroughly burned without leaving any scum.

Mrs. Lu has long regarded these things as her own - as long as Luo Weiyun is her daughter-in-law, she is confident that these things will be hers sooner or later, the days are still long, and she can't take care of her daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law?

However, a fire, all gone.

The huge amount of property that belonged to me, and countless good things, are all gone.

Not only was it gone, but it also made me fearful and worried all night, and even made me spend my own money to reward those Jingwei.

Mrs. Lu has never felt so heartbroken.

What a huge fortune that was!

In the Chunyuan Hall, Mrs. Lu's face was frosty, and Lu Ruyu's was also full of hatred.

She couldn't be more clear about Mother's thoughts, and she also thought that all those things belonged to her, and she would definitely get a generous share when she came out of the cabinet in the future, but now, it's all gone!

"Kneel down!" Mrs. Lu grabbed the teacup in her hand and wanted to smash it on the ground, but she couldn't bear it.

This set of sweet white porcelain tea set is the best in her place, and it was given by Luo Weiyun as a filial piety when she passed through the door. If one was dropped, the whole set could not be used anymore. Using a tea set that is not a complete set is not the dignity of the Bo family.

"Mom, why should I kneel?"

"You still dare to ask?" Lu Ruyu said sharply: "You set fire to the mansion, you still dare to ask!"

"Mother, I'm wronged!" How could Luo Weiyun admit, "I fell asleep shortly after dinner yesterday, and didn't go out at all. I also want to know, who set the fire? I lost all my dowry. Oh, woo woo, who am I going to pay for?"

Luo Weiyun began to wipe away tears as she spoke.

Nanny Luo also had red eyes, and sighed: "Young Madam, don't be sad, everything is burnt, and no matter how sad you are, you won't be able to come back. It would be even worse if you hurt your body."

"Nurse!" Luo Weiyun bit her lip, her eyes were filled with mist, she looked very pitiful.

Mrs. Lu, mother and daughter were all taken aback.

"It's really not you?" Lu Ruyu was skeptical: "But yesterday you said that you were going to burn the dowry, we all heard it, don't try to deny it."
