When Fan Hai carried the little dumpling into the house, the group found Yao Ling unconscious in the water tank.
Fortunately, when she threw the little dumpling out of the burning house, she herself jumped into the water tank and survived.
He inhaled too much smoke and fainted. In addition, he suffered burns in multiple places and will need a long period of rest to recover.
While the doctor was treating Yao Ling's wounds, the Mu family also arrived.
Qingxi hugged the little dumpling tightly and carefully examined her from head to toe.
The little girl's four older brothers also surrounded her with concern.
"Zhen Shaoqing, what happened? How could a fire suddenly start?" Mu Ting asked, frowning.
Zhen Shaoqing replied with some guilt, "It was Su Momo. She found out that you were all busy with your trip to the South China Sea, so she drugged the guards and set the fire. It's all our fault for being negligent!"
Fan Hai stepped forward and reported, "Master, I have already taken care of Su Momo!"
Upon hearing that Su Momo was dead, Mu Tingzheng's expression softened, and he reached out to pat Zhen Shaoqing on the shoulder.
"Thank goodness the little dumpling is alright! But I can't leave her here any longer, I have to take her back to the Mu residence!"
"I originally kept her at Dali Temple just to make it easier for her to receive treatment. But after what happened tonight, I absolutely cannot leave her here any longer!"
Zhen Shaoqing nodded, "General Mu is right! If the prescription is developed, I will send it to the Mu residence as soon as possible."
When the little girl heard that her father was going to take her back, she tugged at Mu Tingzheng's sleeve.
"Father, can we take Sister Yao Ling with us too? She was injured while saving me."
Mu Ting squatted down and affectionately touched her face. "Okay, whatever you say, little dumpling, Daddy will do!"
Qingxi said gratefully, "This time we owe a lot to Miss Yao! The Yao family are all officials in Jiangnan now. Miss Yao came to the capital alone to gain experience at Puxi Academy."
"Now that she is seriously injured and has no family to take care of her, it is good for us to bring her back to our home."
Mu Ting agreed and had Mu Jinnian carry the still unconscious Yao Ling into the carriage.
The group rushed back to the Mu residence.
After all this commotion, Qingxi gave the little girl a bath after returning home, then held her and went to sleep.
The next morning, Qingxi got up early.
She and Mu Ting were taking their eldest and second sons with them, preparing to head to Xiaoyao Continent in the South China Sea.
However, the third and fourth children, who were originally supposed to go together, were left behind by them.
"Now that Little Dumpling has returned to the manor, you two stay here and take good care of Little Sister. We can't let anything else happen to her," Qingxi instructed Mu Jinxuan and Mu Jinnian.
The two obediently agreed.
"Mother, I wish you a safe journey and a speedy return," Mu Jinxuan said reluctantly.
Mu Jinnian frowned, looking very worried: "Mother, we only know that there is a Xiaoyao Continent in the South China Sea, but no one knows exactly where it is. The South China Sea is so big, and it is difficult to find directions at sea. This trip will probably not be easy."
"Why don't you stay and take care of my sister, Mother? I'll go with Father and Brother."
"What nonsense are you talking about! We've already made up our minds, so you just stay home obediently. If there's any progress from the Dali Temple, you should immediately give the prescription to Xiao Tuanzi." Qingxi pushed Mu Jinnian back.
She was not afraid of any danger or difficulty for her daughter's sake.
Just as Qingxi and the others were about to leave, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in a white robe with black hair and a long beard appeared before everyone, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Are you all heading to Xiaoyao Continent?" the man asked with a benevolent smile.
