After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 139: Picking Chestnuts
Han Guang stood quietly under the window, still carrying his long sword on his back, with a solemn look on his face, and whispered, "Master Ning, there is a fire in the mansion, you should leave as soon as possible."
Ning Er frowned and said anxiously: "I don't have time to tell you in detail now, but the people imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall are of great use to me!"
She stared at Han Guang through the window: "Now, only you can help me."
Ning'er's eyes were bright and clear, like a spring of water, crystal clear, and irresistible. Han Guang asked softly, "What do you want me to do?"
Ning Er asked him to bend down and whispered, "Xixiyuan is in a remote area. You are quick. If Liu Kui is lucky enough to be alive when you get there, I want you to find a way to save her life and find her a place to stay temporarily. Don't let her die in confusion. If anything unexpected happens, go to Delinzhai to find me immediately."
Songshou Hall is located on the west side of the Marquis's mansion, so it is definitely not suitable to stay there at this moment. After this kind of thing happened, the old lady will definitely go to the Marquis's courtyard, and she must follow her.
Ning Er reminded him, "Remember, look carefully to see if there are any traces. But be careful not to hurt yourself."
The fire came out of nowhere, and she couldn't help but be suspicious.
Han Guang's calm face showed obvious worry. His primary task was to ensure Ning'er's safety no matter when and where. But at this critical moment, he was too busy to do anything else and could only follow Master Ning's orders.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had made up his mind and said to Ning'er, "Master, rest assured, I will not let you down."
He looked at Ning'er deeply and said, "It's not safe here. You should leave quickly and go to the front yard." After saying that, he bowed and disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Ning'er took a deep breath, lowered the window, and walked quickly to the bedroom. Fortunately, the jade ring had been given to Chu Huan for safekeeping. She rummaged around and found the jade box containing the flowery paper, and then put the pearl that the Marquis had given her into it.
When she walked out with the jade box, the whole Songshou Hall was in chaos. Chuncao and Lingzhi were dispatching servants separately. When they saw Ning'er, they hurriedly asked, "Where did you go, young lady? Just now, the old lady was looking for someone in the yard!"
Ning Er asked hurriedly: "What does the old lady say now?"
Chuncao wiped her sweat and said, "The old lady is going to the front yard with a few maids. Sister Xiuyu will stay to deal with the aftermath. I will tell you as soon as I find you, so that you don't wander around and go to the front to meet up."
"Fortunately, the Madam has returned with the young lady and the young master. There aren't many masters in the mansion, so there shouldn't be any trouble."
Ning'er forced a smile. In the front of the marquis' courtyard, two imperial doctors were still trying to save the patient, and the small Buddhist temple behind them was flooded for unknown reasons. Now they were in a dilemma, unable to back down, and could only take one step at a time.
Lingzhi said, "Chuncao, don't worry about the house, just accompany the girl first. We'll come back after we've cleaned up here."
Ning Er said firmly: "The weather is very hot and humid now. Although the two places are far apart, no one knows what will happen if they start to burn. If they can't burn all the way, there's no need to clean up. If they burn all the way, no matter how you clean up, it will be useless."
She made a quick decision: "Don't do anything, just follow me now. Once we pass the waterside pavilion, you can stay anywhere you want. It will be safe."
Lingzhi hesitated to speak. She was silent for a moment, and replied with mixed feelings: "Yes, we will listen to the girl."
Passing the clear pond and waterside pavilion in the center of the mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The pool of water seemed to immediately isolate them from the unknown fire behind them.
Ning'er turned her head and looked to the west. She could vaguely see the thick black and gray smoke twisting and tumbling, rising into the sky, swirling upwards, and connecting with the deep red sunset glow in the sky.
She was vaguely worried about Han Guang. The fire was quite big, and even if he had great martial arts skills, it would not be easy to find someone in the fire.

"You're finally here!" Upon seeing Ning'er, Shen Chongyao was like seeing a living Buddha: "What took you so long?"
Ning Er was moved to see him so worried about her. She asked hurriedly, "How is the Marquis? Where is the old lady?"
Shen Chongyao sighed and said, "The Marquis is still the same."
Just now, a large group of people escorted the old lady over. They all looked hurried and had frowned. After asking, they found out that there was a fire at the back!
Shen Chongyao immediately went to look for Ning'er in the crowd, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He was shocked. If Manju hadn't said that Ning'er would be there soon after packing her things after returning to the house, he would have gone to look for her.
He said to Ning'er, "As for the old lady, I just told her that Doctor Xue was giving acupuncture and asked us to be quiet and not to disturb others. The old lady didn't ask any questions and now she led everyone to the side courtyard to rest."
Ning Er asked suspiciously, "The old lady was fooled so easily?"
Shen Chongyao gave a bitter smile, and he pursed his lips to explain, "Miss, you don't know, but right now it is that Lord Lu who is talking to the old lady."
He sighed, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. Lord Lu looks cold, but he is very good at coaxing an old lady. I think it won't be long before the old lady treats him as her nephew."
Ning'er was a little bit unbelievable. She had seen Lu Kui's temper before, how could he please the old lady?
Shen Chongyao nodded, turned around and pointed in a direction: "Miss, do you want to go over and take a look? The old lady is also thinking about you."
Ning Er bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Second Master. If the Marquis has any news, please let me know."
Although Marquis Xinyuan did not often stay in the mansion on weekdays, his courtyard was very spacious, three steps deep from north to south, and two spans deep from east to west. It was both independent and in line with the layout of the mansion.
Except for the main courtyard, most of the other rooms were empty. At this time, Feicui, Yuanyang and others were accompanying Shen's mother to rest in the main room of the east wing.
Ning'er noticed at a glance that Madam Zhu, who had been worried when she came, now had a relaxed look and a faint smile on her face, and was obviously in a good mood.
She couldn't help but think: It seems that what the Second Master said is true, this Lord Lu really coaxes the Old Madam very well.
