The vicious stepmother doesn't clean up her innocence, she slaps her face professionally and ra

According to the plan, today they wanted to settle the people in Tianjiazhuang first. Some of Xiao Yan's men went to pick up Ma Liu and his wife, daughter and family, while others were guarding Tianjiazhuang, unable to get in or out.

As for Gu Yiyi and the others, they should go back to the imperial city and wait patiently.

Now there is less than a week left before the sacrificial ceremony. This is a major event for Tianqi Kingdom, so everyone pays great attention to it.

Gu Yiyi's restaurant has been closed for several days because of Master Zhang's affairs. As the ceremony was about to begin, they did not want to waste time and tried to open for business.

On the opening day, Gu Yiyi was out of town on business, and only shopkeeper Jin came to take charge.

Shopkeeper Wang felt a little uneasy and whispered to Shopkeeper Jin: "Boss, if we open today, will anyone come? If business is bleak and there is no one, others will probably laugh at us."

Shopkeeper Jin frowned slightly. Although he didn't care about that, he still felt unsure.

The key is that he is afraid of ruining his wife's reputation.

So he made arrangements: "Don't worry about whether there are people or not, hire some trustworthy people to act as caretakers and warm up the place.

As long as people outside see our bustling crowd, they will naturally be attracted to us. Let’s talk about the rest. "

Shopkeeper Wang was enlightened and immediately went down to make arrangements. He even felt that Shopkeeper Jin had learned the essence of Gu Yiyi. His mind was quick in doing business, but he had not thought of such a good way.

But they were still worried. As soon as their store opened, a steady stream of people came in.

And it's not just the people arranged by Shopkeeper Wang, they are all the guests who came by themselves.

Not long after the door opened, someone had already spread the news about the opening of their restaurant. Soon it was spread to tens of thousands and hundreds of people, and within a short time, there was already a queue.

"Shopkeeper, you have finally opened the door. We have been waiting for a long time."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten your hot pot these days because I miss you so much!!"

When they saw the cabinet, they were so happy to see this group of people so enthusiastic that they invited them in without saying a word.

Shopkeeper Jin even rubbed his hands deliberately, waiting to tell Gu Yiyi the good news when she came back.

It's a pity that I can't wait for Gu Yiyi to come to the store.

Because not long after she left the city, something big happened in the house.

The first person to discover that something was going wrong in the mansion was the maid from the Bai Mansion next door.

They first smelled a burnt smell and thought something had happened in the house, so they started to check around.

No one noticed anything strange until the investigation was completed, but at this moment, thick smoke billowed from the mansion next door.

The servants were all frightened and rushed around to inform Master Bai.

"No, no, no, Mrs. Gu's family is in trouble! Master and Madam!!"

"The water is running out, hurry up, get water over there!"

With these shouts, the entire Bai Mansion was quickly alarmed.

At this moment, Bai Churan also heard the noise and ran out immediately: "What did you say?"

She grabbed the housekeeper's shoulder and asked quickly: "But the sister's house next door caught fire??"

The housekeeper nodded like a fool, but he was very worried. He knew that Gu Yiyi was on good terms with the Bai family, not to mention that the house next door was the former residence of the Bai family.

If it really catches fire, that's okay, I'm afraid it will affect their Bai Mansion.

So he didn't dare waste any time and summoned all his servants over without saying a word.

"Quick, put out the fire!"

At this moment, Mrs. Bai and the others also came after hearing the news. When they left the house, they found that the neighbors next door were running over.

They all smelled the burning smell, and there was such thick black smoke spreading everywhere that they could see the flames rising through the wall.

This fire is too big! ! Even the dead tree in the yard was on fire.

Countless people came over with pots, pans, buckets, etc. to fetch water, but as soon as they touched the door of the mansion, they were scalded back.

Seeing this, Bai Churan angrily picked up the stick next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze! Break the door open together! There are children inside!!"

My sister's children are studying at home. If things go a little slower now, what should my sister do if something happens to them?

Her roar instantly woke up those people. They all followed Bai Churan's example, picked up sticks and pushed the door open together.

After opening it, a thick smoke suddenly came out. Those in the front row choked on the smoke, coughed one after another, and their eyes were so smoked that they could not open their eyes.

There was a fire at the door, and the wooden pillars were emitting sparks.

And the thick smoke completely blocked everyone, making it impossible to get in.

Those people had no choice but to pour all the water on the door to suppress the fire at the door first.

But there was already a fire in the yard, and the big wooden house in the middle hall was on fire. Especially when the east wind blew, the fire spread very quickly. The flames shot up to the sky like a fire dragon. Anyone who came close would be burned. Into ashes!

Bai Churan was also intercepted by this heat wave, and Mrs. Bai grabbed her: "Chu Ran! Don't go in! It's too dangerous!"

Bai Churan looked at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of him and became anxious: "Mom! Mom, please call more people. My sister's children are still in the house! We can't just watch the children being burned alive by the fire!"

"I know, even my mother knows it. I have already sent someone to notify the military patrol shop, and someone will come over to put out the fire soon. But you can't go in. If something happens to you in there, what will your parents do?!"

No matter how anxious Bai Churan was, Mrs. Bai was still rational and hugged Bai Churan tightly to prevent her from acting impulsively.

This is not a trivial matter. If she really ran in, how could she still survive in such a big fire?

Bai Churan also knew it, but looking at the fire that was getting more and more out of control, he froze on the ground, and tears suddenly poured out in a steady stream.

She was outside screaming and calling the children's names.

"Dabao!! Dabao, two treasures and three treasures!! Where are you?"

Over and over again, hissing at the top of his lungs, lingering outside the wall for a long time.

It wasn't until people from the military patrol came over and a group of people started to fight the fire in an orderly manner that the order at the scene became calmer.

At the same time, news of the fire in Gu Yiyi's residence had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial city.

Gu Yiyi is considered a well-known person in the market. No one in the streets of the imperial city has heard of her name.

Many people were discussing the Mr. Zhang incident a few days ago, and now such a big thing as a fire at home has long been a topic of discussion.

So Gu Yiyi went into the city after finishing her business. When she arrived at the gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate recognized her and quickly told her.

"Mrs. Gu?! Are you Mrs. Gu?!

You should go home quickly. Something big has happened in your house. You are in trouble! "
