Chapter 1204: A fire broke out on the Zhuangzi
Just as Emperor Tianxi expected, as soon as the imperial edict was issued, the wealthy families in the capital took action.
Various invitations flew to the princess's mansion like snowflakes.
Tang Bao is not at home, and Old Man Su and Old Lady Su are so busy receiving invitations that they are overwhelmed.
The old couple was not in a hurry to move.
After all, the Marquis of Loyalty Mansion, which was awarded by the emperor, still needs to be carefully cleaned up.
Besides, moving is a big deal, so you have to ask someone to pick a date in advance.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su thought that it would be better to wait until all the grandchildren came and then move in a lively manner.
Although I am not moving, I still have to buy the necessary things.
In particular, we must start arranging the items needed for Su Laowu's marriage.
Old Mrs. Su was too busy to worry about her third daughter-in-law.
Little did they know that something big almost happened to Mrs. Su San.
It turned out that Tang Bao went to the farm with Su Lao San. As soon as the brother and sister arrived at the gate, they saw thick smoke billowing out of the farm.
"The fire is coming... the fire is coming..."
Chaotic screams came from the village.
Su Laosan's face immediately turned pale. He jumped off the carriage and ran towards the farm.
Tang Bao's heart sank. She lifted her skirt and ran inside behind Su Lao San.
In Qixia Garden, the dormitory where Su Laosan and Sun Manniang lived had been engulfed in flames.
The servants in the manor were frantically trying to put out the fire.
But the fire was too big and could not be put out.
"Where is the Third Young Master's wife?" Su Lao San grabbed a maid and asked anxiously.
When the old woman saw Su Lao San, she trembled and said, "Third, Third Young Master's wife... should be in the room..."
With a "buzz" sound, Su Laosan's eyes went dark and his body shook.
The blood clotted and the heartbeat almost stopped.
Then he raised his leg and rushed into the fire.
Tang Bao grabbed Su Laosan's arm.
"Third brother, you can't go in like this!" Tang Bao said anxiously.
Going in like this is like adding fuel to the fire.
"Let me go!"
Su Laosan's eyes turned red and he shouted as he wanted to rush in.
He should have thought of it earlier!
Man Niang was deliberately trying to get him away!
It's all his fault!
His fault!
Su Laosan rushed in like crazy. Tang Bao was small after all, so there was no way she could stop Su Laosan.
"Sister Pomegranate, hold on to Third Brother!" Tang Bao ordered quickly.
After saying that, he ordered the old woman, "Go get a quilt!"
The only solution now is to soak the quilt, wrap yourself in it, and maybe you can rush in.
The old woman agreed tremblingly and staggered to get the quilt.
Shi Liu controlled Su Lao San's arms with both hands, and no matter how hard Su Lao San struggled, he could not take a single step forward.
"Let me go...Man Niang...Man Niang..." Su Lao San shouted with a furious look on his face.
Tang Bao's face turned pale and she tried hard to remain calm.
She knew that at times like this, she must not panic.
"Third sister-in-law, the emperor has issued an order to re-examine the witchcraft case!" Tang Bao shouted loudly into the fire: "The truth of this case will be revealed soon, and if there are people who have been wronged, their injustice will be redressed!"
"Aunt, is this true?"
Following an unbelievable voice, Sun Manniang walked out of the east wing with a piece of clothing in her arms and tears on her face.
Tang Bao: “…”
Su Lao San: “…”
People in the yard: "..."
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Then, everyone turned their heads and looked at Sun Manniang.
A strand of Sun Manniang's hair was burned by the fire.
The clothes on his body were pitch black.
"Manniang!"
Su Lao San roared and rushed over.
He hugged Sun Manniang and tears fell from his eyes.
Tang Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my third sister-in-law is fine.
The fire was eventually put out.
The dormitory of Su Laosan and Sun Manniang was burned down to the frame.
One can imagine what would have happened if Sun Manniang was inside.
In the east wing, Sun Manniang looked at Tang Bao, still holding the dress tightly in her arms, her face full of excitement, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Tang Bao simply said: "Third sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the late Prime Minister Sun, right?"
At that time, Prime Minister Sun was implicated in a witchcraft case and died to prove his innocence.
Sun Manniang smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from my aunt."
Now that I think about it, my sister-in-law said those words deliberately because she had already guessed her identity.
After Sun Manniang finished speaking, she looked at Su Laosan with some trepidation.
Su Laosan held his wife's hand, without any surprise on his face.
"No matter what your identity was before, you are now just my, Su Sanhu's, wife!" Su Lao San said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
If he hadn't been in front of his sister, he would have definitely taken some other actions to let this daring daughter-in-law know how firm his attitude was.
"Third sister-in-law, before I came, mother asked me to bring you a message." Tang Bao said: "Mother said that everything in the past can be regarded as a thing of the past life. Your identity in this life is just the daughter-in-law of the Su family! No matter what happens, the Su family will support you!"
How smart is Sun Manniang?
As soon as she heard Tang Bao's words, she realized that her mother-in-law might have guessed her identity.
"So, Third Sister-in-law, please don't do stupid things in the future, okay?" Tang Bao said again.
Even without asking, one could guess that the fire today was set by Mrs. Su San herself.
As to why he did not stay in the room after setting the fire, but ran out and hid in the east wing, it is unknown.
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he glanced at Su Lao San.
"Third sister-in-law also saw what Third Brother looked like just now. If anything happens to you, Third Brother might go crazy." Tang Bao said.
Sun Manniang's tears fell down.
How lucky is she to have met such a good man and such a good in-law family?
Sun Manniang looked up at Su Laosan and cried, "Wuwu... It's my fault. I made you and me worry..."
When Su Laosan saw this, he immediately felt distressed. He didn't care that he was in front of his sister and quickly hugged his wife in his arms.
"It's all my fault. I knew you were feeling uneasy, so I should have made things clear to you sooner." Su Lao San said self-reproachfully.
Sun Manniang cried and kept shaking her head.
There is no better man in the world than mine.
Seeing this, Tang Bao felt that she was a bit redundant and should give the space to her third brother and sister-in-law.
However, as soon as she stood up, Sun Manniang looked over.
"Aunt, what you just said..." Is it true?
Sun Manniang looked at Tang Bao with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to ask the last few words.
The Su family may not care about her identity, but she herself cannot ignore it.
She couldn't bring disaster to the Su family.
Sun Manniang looked nervous, afraid that Tang Bao had guessed her identity, and she was just trying to comfort her.
"Of course it's true." Tang Bao said seriously: "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, the Emperor has already issued an order. Moreover, Third Sister-in-law should be able to predict that His Majesty the Third Prince will definitely find a way to overturn the Queen's verdict."
When Sun Manniang heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
The witchcraft case involves the Queen Mother, and His Majesty the Third Prince will certainly not ignore it.
"My grandfather was wrongly accused!" Sun Manniang said with tears in her eyes, her face full of assurance. "My grandfather was loyal to the emperor and served as an official with integrity for many years. He was not involved in the witchcraft case at all, and he never intended to harm the emperor!"
