After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Bai was curious, and before she could stand up, she saw Su and Lianzhi coming from the direction of the main hall. She had no choice but to continue to hunch over and hide behind the flower wall.

Su pinched her brows tiredly. Lian Zhi saw this and said with concern: "Madam must be exhausted today. I will help you go to bed."

Su shook her head and said, "I can wash it myself, go and see if Jin'er and the others are back.

Ruyi is young and has never been here before, so I am a little worried. "

"Okay." Lianzhi sent Su back to her room, then turned around to look for Gu Jin and Ruyi.

When there was no one around, Bai got up and went back to her room. She stood by the window and stared at Su's room until the maid came back with some plain noodles and the lights on Su's side were turned off. Only then did Bai raise her hand and close the window.

But she just couldn't figure it out. What on earth did Qiu Ju do in Su's room?

On the other side, Lian Zhi ran into Ruyi who was also looking for Gu Jin. Lian Zhi's heart tightened and he asked hurriedly: "Ruyi, where is the young mistress?"

Ruyi looked like she was about to cry, "Young Madam asked me to go back and get the lantern, but when I came back I couldn't find Young Madam.

Sister Lianzhi, should we go tell the Madam?"

"Don't alarm the madam first, let's look around." Lian Zhi was afraid that Su would worry, and he was also afraid that others would be alarmed and rumors would spread that would be unfavorable to Gu Jin.

Fortunately, they didn't walk far before they saw Gu Jin coming out from the shadows. Ruyi ran over to him, her voice filled with tears, "Madam, where have you been? I thought you were lost!"

"Silly boy, how can a grown-up like me get lost? I just saw an old tabby cat and it ran away while I was chasing it."

Ruyi wiped her tears and choked up, "Young Madam is really amazing. She can even tell the age of the tabby cat."

Gu Jin pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing more.

When he saw Lianzhi, he asked, "How is mother?"

"Madam has been praying for the Marquis in the Buddhist temple. She just got up and went back to her room. I'm afraid she must be very tired today."

Gu Jin felt a little sorry for Su. Su was brought up like a pearl at home, but after marrying into the marquis's mansion, she had to endure all kinds of contempt and had to bear the risk of her husband getting together with her younger brother's wife.

“Did anyone say anything because I didn’t go to the temple?”

Lianzhi thought for a moment and replied, "The eldest young lady asked a few questions, and Madam said that you were feeling a little unwell, so she didn't ask any more questions."

Gu Jin curled his lips. Gu Rou still couldn't sit still for a moment.

"Besides Gu Rou, what did Second Aunt and the others say?"

Lian Zhi shook his head. "The Second Madam didn't say anything today. She even told Madam to go back and rest early."

"Oh? She has changed her temper today." Gu Jin muttered casually, but suddenly frowned.

Ruyi tilted her head and asked innocently, "What's wrong, Madam? Are you still thinking about that tabby cat?"

Gu Jin did not answer, but just narrowed his eyes and hurried towards the guest house at great speed.

It was late at night and Bai couldn't fall asleep even though she was lying on the hard bed.

She turned over, still thinking about Qiu Ju's appearance in Su's room. Just when she was finally feeling sleepy, a burst of rapid gong knocking woke her up completely.

"Madam, something bad has happened. There's a fire in the temple!" The maid knocked on the door outside.

Bai was startled and quickly put on her outer clothes and ran to the yard.

In the night, orange flames shot up into the sky and the smoke was pungent.

"What's going on? Is there a flood?"

The monk said apologetically, "Somehow the small kitchen in the guest house leaked water. I'm really sorry for disturbing all the donors."

Bai looked back at the maid with a guilty conscience. Could it be that she didn't turn off the fire when she was cooking noodles?

The maid shook her head repeatedly, "I am sure that I left after turning off the fire."

Bai heaved a sigh of relief, and then she heard Ma exclaim, "Oh, why hasn't the eldest sister-in-law come out yet?"

Bai looked up and saw that Su's door was closed.

How soundly must Su be sleeping when he still didn't wake up from such a loud noise?

Gu Rou and Xie Miaoyin stood together. They looked at each other and saw meaningful things in each other's eyes.

Maybe this fire tonight was not an accident!

Ma was about to ask Qiuju to knock on the door, but after looking around, she didn't see her figure, so she went to the door herself and called out, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, wake up quickly, there's a fire in the guest house, and there's too much smoke and dust here. We have to go to the front hall to avoid the fire first."

But the door remained closed, and no one responded.

Bai felt something was wrong. When did Ma become so concerned about Su?

Ma slammed the door, but it was still quiet inside.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, but her face was full of worry, "What happened to sister-in-law? Could it be that she fainted because of discomfort?

There is so much smoke and dust here, it is unbearable for people to stay here any longer!"

Ma turned to look at Bai and said, "Third sister-in-law, quickly ask you and Miaoyin's maids to break the door open.

My eldest brother is still in danger, and my eldest sister-in-law cannot be in any danger again."

Gu Rou understood and sneered. It must be that Ma took advantage of the situation to attack Su. It would be a great thing if she could use Ma to overthrow Su.

"Hehuan, go over and help quickly. Don't let anything happen to mother."

Several maids were about to knock on the door, but were stopped by Lianzhi who came hurriedly.

The young mistress's guess turned out to be correct. Today is truly not a peaceful day!

"You bastards are so bold that you even dare to break into the lady's room!"

He Huan was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "There was a fire in the guest house, and the host arranged for us to go to the front hall to avoid the fire.

There has been no movement in Madam's room, and the Second Madam is worried about Madam, so she asked us to knock on the door."

Lianzhi's face was grim. Ma had always wanted to replace the Madam. Would she be so kind as to worry about the Madam?

"Madam Second and Madam Third, please take the young mistress and the others to the front hall first. I will take good care of the ladies." There was obviously a trap here, and she absolutely could not let these people break in.

Ma looked down at Lianzhi, no longer as friendly as before, "Sister-in-law is the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang and is so noble. How can her safety be decided by a little maid like you!

I won't bother with you because you are my sister-in-law's personal maid. Please get out of the way."

Lianzhi pushed Hehuan and the others aside and spread his arms to block the door. "It is because the Madam is of noble status that you cannot barge into her room!"

Lian Zhi met Ma's gaze fearlessly, "Second Madam, could it be that you are so impatient to disrespect Madam just because the Marquis got into trouble?"

"How dare you, a slut, slander me!" Ma was furious and said to He Huan and the others in a stern voice, "Take her down, the two of you, knock on the door!"

Several people started fighting in front of the door. In the end, Lianzhi was outnumbered and was picked up by Hehuan and the other man.

Lian Zhi let her hair down and gritted her teeth as she said, "If you dare to break into my house today, I'll have you all sold out tomorrow!"

The little maid hesitated after hearing this, Ma said immediately: "Don't listen to her scaring you, it's urgent to act, I will take responsibility for you if anything happens!"

Several maids worked together to knock on the door. The moment the door was opened, a man's low cough was faintly heard from inside.

The corners of Ma's mouth rose uncontrollably.

This merchant bitch has been oppressing her for so many years, and today she can finally avenge herself!

Su, your time of death has come!
