Chapter 246 Fire



Shen Qiyin's brows twitched slightly: "What's wrong?"

Chu Si glanced at Da Zhuang and Wei Zhao, then said in a lower voice, "The clinic is on fire."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin frowned deeply: "What?!"

"Don't worry, young lady, the fire is under control and it's not serious."

"What exactly happened?"

"It was arson intentional."

On the surface, they have already reported it to the authorities.

Privately, they were also conducting a covert investigation.

Shen Qiyin's brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought.

If it was arson intentional, then it was most likely an act of revenge.

Guangrentang was jointly owned by the three brothers, meaning that the arsonist was most likely targeting them.

Or, it could be one of them.

Shen Qiyin thought about it carefully. Based on her understanding of her senior and junior brothers, they did not seem to have any enemies.

She herself has offended quite a few people.

Take the most recent example, didn't Madam Sun hate her to the core?

Seeing that she had stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something, Chu Si tentatively asked, "Miss, have you thought of any suspicious candidates?"

"I have thought of it, but it's a bit too much."

"..."

As the two were talking, Wei Zhao suddenly walked over and asked with concern, "Senior Sister, has something happened?"

Shen Qiyin looked hesitant.

The fire at Guangrentang could not be kept secret, but she thought that today was her senior brother and Sister Chu's wedding day and she didn't want to spoil their fun, so she decided to tell them tomorrow.

As for Wei Zhao...

After thinking about it, she decided to tell him the whole story.

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

The maid rushed in, looking flustered, and said, "Miss, Her Highness the Princess has arrived!"

Wei Zhao exclaimed in surprise: "Princess?!"

The little maid nodded repeatedly.

She naturally did not recognize the high and mighty princess.

But the other party had quite a presence and claimed to be "Princess Shouchang," so it couldn't be fake.

Compared to the little girl's trembling fear, Shen Qiyin's reaction was incredibly calm.

She gave a nonchalant "heh," thinking to herself that she had no idea who had set the fire, but now she understood everything.

It seems that besides this princess who came with ill intentions, there is no one else.

Princess Shouchang led a large entourage into the courtyard. Upon seeing Shen Qiyin, she smiled before speaking and said, "I heard that there is a joyous occasion in your household today, so I have come to offer my congratulations."

"As for the gift, I presume you've already received it?"

As she said this, her eyes were full of schadenfreude.

Wei Zhao's gaze darkened slightly, and he clenched his fist secretly.

Shen Qiyin remained calm, greeted her according to custom, and then said expressionlessly, "You really are courting death before dawn..."

Not seeing the furious expression she expected on her face, Yuan Zi immediately became displeased: "What did you say?"

"Is the princess hard of hearing?"

"you!"

Shen Qiyin met her gaze without flinching, thinking to herself that Emperor Xuanwu's reign as emperor was nearing its end, let alone that of a princess like her.

Xiao Yan has been very busy lately; the capital city is about to undergo a major change.

This "princess," whose mind is completely consumed by men, is still jumping around trying to steal another woman's husband.

Yuan Zi already hated Shen Qiyin to the core, and now seeing that Shen Qiyin didn't take her seriously at all, she retaliated by saying, "Guards! Go and arrest that Chu Tao Ning for this princess!"

She knew that the woman was the newlywed wife of Shen Qiyin's senior brother, and that was why she was determined to accuse her of disrespect and see what they would do!

Before she could even finish speaking, someone walked out of the house.

It turned out to be Aunt Cui.

Princess Shouchang was stunned when she saw the other party!
