Yan Yunshu listened and stopped immediately.
She came up to the maids and servants who were discussing the matter and asked, "Is General He okay?"
The maids and servants were terrified to see that the only Miss Sun from the Marquis's Mansion actually came in person to gossip with them.
"Girl, I'll wait..."
"No problem, I'm just here to gossip with you guys."
Yan Yunshu continued to ask, "Where is General He?"
Although she disliked General He, she also knew that the fire was suspicious, but if something happened to General He at this time, the world would blame her again.
Now she is just a seductress who confuses people and an intruder.
Then there will be all kinds of conspiracy theories, which will be even more deadly.
So, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to her.
"My lady, I heard that General He only suffered minor injuries."
Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are the others?"
"I heard that the other servants were rescued by General He himself."
"Yes, among the servants, two maids and a boy suffered minor injuries, and another maid is in critical condition and may be in danger of death."
Yan Yunshu frowned slightly.
I always feel that it is extremely wrong for such a big thing to happen in the He Mansion at this time.
She continued, "Then, do you know when the water left?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew when the flood occurred in He Mansion.
I only heard about this matter outside the government office today. I was so surprised that I didn't even ask about the additional details.
But Yan Yunshu really wanted to know.
So after arriving at the dining hall, she eagerly pulled Yan Yunyi aside and began to ask him in detail.
"Brother, do you know about the fire in the He Mansion last night?"
Yan Yunyi had a pair of dark eyes and asked, "Sister, what do you think?"
"Um... I almost forgot, my brother is the chief of city defense."
"Forgot?" Yan Yunyi pretended to be angry, "How could I forget where your brother works!"
"Thank you for your hard work, brother..." Yan Yunshu pulled Yan Yunyi to the seat and then gave him a good back massage.
"Such a big thing has happened in the capital, and my brother is so dedicated to his duties. I believe he must have been busy all night."
Yan Yunyi's tears were about to fall.
"It's still the sister who cares about her brother."
"Yeah." Yan Yunshu massaged his shoulders and neck diligently.
After a moment, he asked, "I wonder when the water in Hefu went out?"
Yan Yunyi replied, "Last night at midnight."
"Zi Shi?"
Yan Yunshu's hand paused. If it was midnight, it would be time to turn off the lights and go to sleep, so the fire could not have been an accident.
So the cause of the fire...
It's man-made!
If it’s human...
"Have you found out the reason?"
Yan Yunshu stopped what she was doing and sat down in the seat next to Yan Yunyi.
Yan Yunyi shook his head for a moment, stretched, and replied, "The fire broke out suddenly, and the autumn weather was dry. In addition, General He's courtyard was located high up in the He Mansion, so such a large fire was impossible to put out. By the time the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple arrived at the scene, the main house and the side rooms in General He's courtyard had already been completely burned down."
"Does this mean it's going to be hard to find out the truth?"
"Yeah." Yan Yunyi nodded, frowning, "It burned cleanly, only ashes are left."
"Did they burn only the main house?"
"Yes, the rest of the house suffered only minor damage."
Yan Yunshu pondered for a moment, full of doubts.
Now is the time when the soldiers at the front are returning victoriously, and the festive atmosphere has not yet dissipated. Who is so bold as to commit such an act of arson against a fifth-rank general?
It's simply a matter of forgetting about it.
In addition, before going to the battle, He Zhixiao was just a woman who rarely showed up in public, and she would not have any enemies outside the He Mansion.
Could it be that the person who harmed her is in He's mansion?
Yan Yunshu thought of this and said quickly.
"I heard that General He is a concubine of the He family. Could it be that her triumphant return this time has aroused the jealousy of other families, so..."
"This matter is of great importance. The entire He family is under investigation by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. If there is indeed someone in the He family harboring jealousy and evil intentions, they will be investigated and will undoubtedly face the death penalty!"
As the two were talking, family members arrived one after another.
When breakfast was served, Yan Yunshu absentmindedly sipped the bird's nest porridge in front of her, looking at Yan Yunyi from time to time.
Yan Yunyi didn't know what she was worried about, and just blinked at Wen Tingfeng and Wen Tingyun.
The eldest brother Wen Tingfeng said speechlessly, "You didn't come home last night because you were busy dealing with the fire in the He Mansion. Do you think you will be free to go out with me later?"
"Why not?" Yan Yunyi put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, raised his head, and said proudly, "Just now, my sister gave me a back massage and shoulder rub!"
Wen Tingfeng and Wen Tingyun's faces suddenly turned bad.
The two of them first rolled their eyes at Yan Yunyi, then looked at Yan Yunshu with flattering smiles.
"Sister, I don't know what happened this morning, but my shoulders and neck felt really uncomfortable..."
Halfway through her words, Old Madam Wen tapped both of them on the forehead.
"Did my sister let you order her around like this?"
"Oops! Grandma, I was wrong!"
"oops!"
While they were arguing, Yan Yunshu suddenly stood up, came behind her two brothers, and hit each of them a few times.
Then, he returned to his seat.
"Are you brothers feeling better?"
The brothers nodded in satisfaction and said to Yan Yunyi, "It's much better now. My sister's hands are like the hands of a miracle doctor. Just a few gentle pats and the pain in my back will be gone in an instant."
