Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 126 Women's Jealousy

It was only yesterday that people were sent here to bring back all the packed things left in Shao's house, and today there was a letter saying that Sangjiang's house caught fire and was burned.

The steward said in the letter that more than half of the house was burned, and only a part of the things to be transported back were brought out, and there were very few combustible books, calligraphy and paintings left.

And this is not a natural fire, it was deliberately done by someone. The steward who got up in the middle of the night saw someone throwing torches and pouring oil into the yard of the main house from a distance, and then the outside of the house was also on fire, and some people came in to grab these for delivery. Back to the things in Luodu City, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. There were not many people in the house, and they were tied up. It was too late to put out the fire. After those people snatched one of the boxes and left, they put out the fire again. There was nothing left how much.

Is it going to rob or burn the house? How can the one who wants to rob set fire to it first? The robbery is a cover, and the burning of the house is the real thing. Who has such a big enmity with them? It should be said that who has such a big enmity with the house, not Lin Qing Ran treats people with the heart of a villain, and she already has a candidate in her heart who might do this.

"Send the letter and Yinliang to the yamen to my uncle, and let him go to Sangjiang immediately." Lin Qingran asked Si Qin to marry Yinliang and Xin and rush to the yamen. She couldn't leave here, so Shao Ziyu had to go there.

Sitting there, Lin Qingran felt the more absurd the more she thought about it, so she wrote another letter and asked Siqi to find someone to send it to Shao's house to the second aunt
Shao Ziyu rushed to Sangjiang overnight, and when he came back, it was already three days later in the evening, and the goods that had not been burned arrived in Luodu City early the next morning. Lin Qingran looked at the boxes in the yard, The corners were all burnt black, and some boxes were half missing. Some of the calligraphy and paintings inside were burned, and they were thrown with water during the fire fighting, so they were scrapped.

When Shao Ziyu went there, he had already reported the case in the governor's office in Sangjiang. This was deliberate. He threw oily buns and torches into the house, poured oil and piled firewood outside the house and burned it directly, and some people came in to grab things and disturb the people inside. Fighting the fire, finally took away a box without pain, and most of the house was burnt down, beyond recognition.

The perpetrators didn't even try to cover up anything, it was obvious that they did it on purpose.

The Sangjiang Governor's Mansion filed a case for looting and burning down the house. Shao Ziyu can bring people to investigate, but he can't directly intervene. Follow local case-handling procedures.

Shao Ziyu couldn't wait so long, but he couldn't use it at Sangjiang, so he came back first.

"Did grandma's violin also be burned?" Lin Qingran took the manual, and all the things marked on it were what they brought back last time, and more than half of the things that were not marked were crossed out. The piano is in it.

Lin Qingran really didn't know what to say, "I knew I wouldn't bring those expensive ones with me at that time." Bringing those books back is more important than anything else.

Lin Qingran looked down, even if things were burned, there would be some leftovers anyway, and she could tell which box it was by looking at the seat, and the one that was taken away was also a box of books.

The corner of Lin Qingran's mouth raised a hint of confusion, "Sir, why don't we go to Shao's house in a few days."

Shao Ziyu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what she meant, and put away the rest of these things properly. Shao Ziyu followed her into the house, "You mean it might be the uncle and the others."

Lin Qingran shook her head, "I think it's Mrs. Tai."

After being quiet for a while, Shao Ziyu couldn't figure it out, "No matter who it is, what is the reason for burning the house." If it was purely for burning books, then it would only single out the study, why would the whole house be moved.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Lin Qingran made a fool of herself, "We'll find out when we go."

It is also uncertain, since there is no way to check in Sangjiang, Shao Ziyu took Lin Qingran to the Shao's house on the day of rest and bathing. The Shao's house was also calm and nothing changed, and the two of them took Bo Geer directly. Mrs. Shao asked Mrs. Gu to greet her, but she was told that Mrs. Tai was not feeling well. Lin Qingran looked at her mother at the door with concern, "Mrs. Tai has always been in good health. Why did she get sick? When did it happen?"

"I've been sick for two days. Madam Tai didn't want you to worry, so I didn't say anything." The mother at the door smiled back, and Lin Qingran asked Shao Ziyu to take the child to the second room. I'll go in and have a look, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know how Mrs. Tai is doing."

That mother didn't stop her from seeing anyone, so Lin Qingran went in, Mrs. Tai leaned on the bed, her face was slightly pale, and she nodded when she saw her.

"I heard from your mother that you are not in good health. I was afraid that the child would disturb you, so I asked my husband to take you out." Lin Qingran sat down and looked around inadvertently. Gu said lightly, "I have a heart."

"Mrs. Tai, you have to take care of yourself. For some reason a few days ago, the house that Sangjiang's grandfather left to his father-in-law was burned down by a fire. He wanted to bring back all the things in it. I used to live in it, but now it’s all burned away, and I don’t know if there are any valuables in the burned things.” Lin Qingran had a look of annoyance on her face, and she was just describing an unlucky thing.

Gu Shi glanced at her, "You don't know what's inside?"

Lin Qingran smiled, "They are all grandfather's notes, so I didn't read them. After we got married, my grandfather gave us this house as a gift, and asked us to keep it carefully. I think he attaches great importance to the things inside." Lin Qingran's expression collapsed again, "Grandpa gave us such a valuable thing, but we let him burn it and was robbed by someone. Grandpa knows, I wonder if he will blame us."

The moment Lin Qingran lowered her head, she could clearly see the sullenness flashing in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and her hands in her arms were clenched into fists.

"If it's burned, it's burned. There's nothing to blame you." After a long time, Mrs. Gu said slowly, "It's all burned up, so there's nothing left."

"More than half of the house was burned down, and almost all the things packed in the study were burnt down, but there was still a guqin left. The guqin was quite old, and I hadn't played it for a long time. There is nothing wrong with that piano." Lin Qingran said without blushing, she knew that Gu Yanran, the only daughter of Old General Gu, was not good at rhythm, so she didn't like playing the piano, she also knew that she said so, the lady in front of her Madam can immediately understand who this piano is for.

"That must be a good piano." Gu coughed a few times, "Where is this thing now, have you brought it all back?"

"I brought it back. Although the piano is good, the strings can't be used after a long time, but the words on the piano are clearly engraved. Now I have sent it to the piano shop for repair. I hope I can play it after it is finished." Lin Qingran obediently Answer, "These things that my grandfather valued so much, the ones that are left must be kept well."

Mrs. Gu looked at her meaningfully, Lin Qingran smiled kindly, and did not show any intention of parting. Hearing Mrs. Gu coughing again, she looked at her worriedly, "Mrs. I know you, I know that you are not feeling well and I have told you for so long, you should rest well, I will go out first."

Mrs. Gu nodded, and watched Lin Qingran go out, her face suddenly turned cold, as if she was gathering evil spirits, Lin Qingran's short words stabbed her hard.

The important house, the important piano, and the important study, if she hadn't gone after it, she wouldn't have known that Shao Ying kept such a house, and there were so many things from the past in it, all of which belonged to him and her.

The things in Shao's mansion were clean, but he didn't expect him to leave them in that place, the small nest where they lived, and he left it to his grandson early on, asking him to take good care of these things.

She just wanted to burn them, all of them, including everything in the house and the study, and the Guqin that Lan Yuan played, everything would disappear.

Gu's lost control, even though she could see that Lin Qingran had no good intentions and knew that she was here to test her, she still lost control.

The book that was brought back in that box contained things written by Lan Yu'an, all of them were notes written by Shao Ying, his guilt towards his two sons, and his memory of the dead Lan Yu'an.

She, Gu Yanran, married him to Shao Ying, and gave birth to three sons for him. She gave everything and suffered a lot of infamy, but he remembered his dead wife in that place.

There are too many confessions in Shao Ying's book, no matter whether these confessions are used to commemorate or a different kind of apology and salvation for the things he has done, they are not allowed in Gu's eyes.

It seems that a certain part of Gu's heart has been broken. For a woman, if you do everything possible to marry a man, thinking that he loves you, thinking that you will eventually occupy his heart and drive other women away , Believe it for decades, but finally know that all this is false, he has been living in guilt, has been missing the past, and what he misses most in his heart is others, what an unacceptable torture it would be.

Perhaps this time is not the joy of dying, why do you need to think so much after dying, and it is too tiring to be a human being like this.

But she is Gu Yanran, from the day she fell in love with Shao Ying, her heart was like a layer of iron, how could she be defeated so easily.

The expression on Gu's face changed again and again, and in the end she actually laughed, but she didn't laugh out loud, but the expression on her face and the gesture of opening her mouth seemed to be rampant under silence. After a long time, she said, "Come on!" people."

Lin Qingran went to the second room to look for the second aunt, and got some definite news that Mrs. Tai was ill for three days. She fell ill suddenly three nights ago, and she hurriedly called for a doctor.

The He family naturally has an eyeliner in the mansion, "This afternoon, someone carried a box to Mrs. Tai's yard."

Lin Qingran nodded, and Mrs. He looked at her, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I was wondering if Mrs. Tai became ill suddenly. Is it because someone brought something for her to see?" Lin Qingran guessed and said, He smiled, "That was also sent to send good things, how could you still get sick after seeing it?" fall."

Lin Qingran nodded, "Yes."

After leaving Shao's house and returning home, Shao Ziyu looked at her and said with a smile, "Are you still playing tricks?"

"Didn't you see it?" Lin Qingran snorted, Shao Ziyu pinched her nose, "I'm asking, how did you think of it?"

"I guessed it too. It wasn't for robbing money, but for burning down the house. Uncle and the others couldn't do it. Only Mrs. Tai would do that." What uncle and the others did to burn down the house was to rob the house and grab valuables.

"What is the reason for Mrs. Tai to do this?"

Lin Qingran looked at him, blinked her eyes, suddenly widened her eyes and said with a gloomy expression, "If I can't get it, no one else can get it, and you don't want to keep anything about her!"
