Jiang Ling nodded and looked at Chang Shu again, but she was gone.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Jiang Ling couldn't wait to ask, "Why did the Chang family farm catch fire on the day of the Spring Festival? Have you found out the cause?"
Zhou Jingan was stunned. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
He put down the jewelry he had bought, his eyes darkened a little, and it was obvious that this matter had not completely passed in his mind.
"We've checked. It turns out there was too much dry firewood in the kitchen, and it accidentally ignited when we were using the fire. That was the source of the water leak."
Jiang Ling frowned, "Is it that simple?"
Zhou Jingan looked at her and said, "It's like this to the outside world, but there are still some secrets."
"That day, a farmer working in the fields had an argument with the kitchen manager. He wanted to teach him a lesson and make him lose his job, so he sneaked in and used a tinderbox to light some dry wood in the corner outside the kitchen wall. He didn't expect the fire to get so big."
Jiang Ling frowned and lowered his eyes in thought.
She mumbled, "It's fire again. Why is it always fire when something goes wrong..."
"What's wrong, Ling'er, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Jiang Ling always felt that it was not that simple. Not to mention how a farmer got in, how could he dare to take action when seeing so many officials' families present?
Furthermore, the fire that day burned down half of the kitchen and the small living room. Could a simple tinderbox have caused that? The Chang family's servants were all idle, waiting for the fire to start and for the guests to cause chaos without doing anything?
etc......
Jiang Ling was startled, "There's something wrong with the Chang family."
She couldn't help but knock her head. Really, she had lived too comfortably these past few days. After being rescued and finding out she was pregnant, her mind was distracted by many things and she hadn't thought about it carefully at all.
Jiang Ling grabbed Zhou Jing'an's hand, her voice filled with anxiety, "The fire that day must have something to do with the Chang family."
