Chapter 145: Raging Fire

Everyone in Baotao Courtyard was now in a panic.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

The third old lady usually seems to be more capable than anyone else, but when something goes wrong she is completely clueless.

Shang Erlang was a useless person to begin with. Seeing that his grandfather and his wife were arrested, he was lucky enough not to be scared to death.

Shang Si Niang snuggled up to her parents, crying helplessly.

It was as if her life had never been smooth and she could not live a peaceful life anywhere.

Sanlang and his wife are now comforting their two frightened daughters, and are filled with remorse.

"That day I told you to move out, move out, but you all disagreed. Look, now you've been framed to such an extent. I'm afraid the third room is in danger."

Saburo said with great sorrow.

The third old lady rushed over as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, pulled Shang Sanlang and said.

"Sanlang, please find a way to save your grandfather. He is too old to endure the hardship of being in prison. If he is tortured into confessing, won't our whole family die?"

"As for Erlang's wife, she...she is the one who gave birth to our family's child. If she really has a reputation of being a murderer, how can you let her child hold his head up high in the future?"

The third old lady was really scared this time.

I’m afraid the whole family will be dragged to death.

Sanlang looked at the people in the yard in front of him, and none of them had anything to offer, so how could he save them?

So he smiled bitterly and said.

"Grandmother, you think too highly of me. We said nicely that we were from the Duke's Mansion, but who will give us face now?"

"Are you really going to let your grandfather die?"

The third old lady cried and wept bitterly, but it was of no avail.

Everyone in the yard could do nothing but cry with her or just sit there blankly.

"Forget it, I'll go ask outside and see if there's any chance."

Shang Sanlang is not a cruel person. He was willing to rescue his fourth sister from that devil's cave back then, and now he is definitely willing to go out and talk to his grandfather and second sister-in-law.

However, given his ability, he is probably willing but unable to do what he wants.

But he still sighed twice and walked outside.

Sanlang's wife was worried when she saw him leaving, but she couldn't stop him.

Seeing her daughters' frightened expressions, she whispered something to comfort them.

"It's okay, Mom will take you back first."

The two daughters nodded and held her clothes tightly, not daring to leave at all.

When she returned to the house, she asked her two daughters to go to bed quickly.

After coaxing them for a long time, the two finally fell asleep in fear and worry, and Sanlang's wife finally had time to think about it carefully.

There are problems with this matter no matter how you look at it.

The story of hiring a killer sounded fake.

She and Erlang's wife have been sisters-in-law for many years, so they have some understanding of each other.

Besides, she is just the daughter of the Guan family, not a powerful person. Where can she find these killers to hire?

And the witchcraft dolls found in my grandfather’s house were also obviously fake.

If we were to ask who in the third branch of the family is the most reluctant to leave the Duke’s Mansion, it would probably be my grandfather himself.

Would he leave such a big handle for others to search for? Sanlang's wife didn't believe it.

But no matter how much she analyzed, she didn't dare to make random guesses.

They had no reason to kill my uncle, and the people in the East and West Gardens had even less reason, so they were in a stalemate for a while.

Just because she couldn't think of any progress here didn't mean that the people in the other two gardens would just sit there and wait for death.

In the Yunjin Courtyard, Mrs. Wei finally felt relieved when she heard that the people from the third room had been taken away.

There is a scapegoat and evidence, and even if there are some unreasonable things, Wei Mingxian will make arrangements.

Now, even if Duke Shang Yukuan wakes up at this time, she has a way to deal with it.

So he let out a long sigh, then began to regret it secretly.

This move was extremely stupid. Not only did it fail, but it also caused her to not have a good night's sleep for several days.

It's just asking for trouble.

However, thinking about the consequences, she decided to let the people from Dongyuan stay.

Now, as long as the Duke does not recover from his illness, the people in the East Garden cannot threaten to move out, otherwise outsiders will accuse them of being unfilial, which is a serious accusation.

Therefore, I told myself that I must calm down.

I could suppress them for ten years before, and I can do it now.

She was thinking about how to erode or alienate them bit by bit, but she didn't expect that something "happened" in Dong Yuan right under her nose.

That night, no one knew where the fire started.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In just a short while, most of the East Garden was engulfed in flames.

The flames shot up into the sky, which was terrifying to watch.

The smoke was so thick that it could be seen from several streets away.

"There's a fire! There's a fire! There's a fire in Dongyuan!"

Groups of servants carrying wooden buckets and basins rushed to put out the fire, but they only dared to throw the fire from a distance.

It is obviously extremely cold in winter, and the place where the snow falls is damp.

How could it burn so big?

In Yunjin Courtyard, when Mrs. Wei heard the news, everyone had already fallen asleep.

When I heard the report, my first reaction was.

"Where are the people? Did they escape?"

Although she didn't know where the fire came from, she felt as if she had received some great news and her heart became excited.

If they were all burned to death, it would mean that God had mercy on her and cleared away the obstacles that stood in her way.

If that was the case, she would definitely send the Duke, who was already seriously injured and unconscious, to hell.

Isn't it wonderful to have a family reunion? Unfortunately, her wish was not fulfilled.

The girl said tremblingly.

"When the fire started, our people hadn't arrived yet. When we arrived, everyone in the East Garden had come out, but the two young ladies were terrified and seemed to be even sicker."

Madam Wei was so angry that her teeth itched. Why didn't she just burn him to death? And then, what the girl said made Madam Wei even more uncomfortable.

"General... the general said, said..."

"say what?"

Madam Wei glared at the visitor fiercely. Madam Jiao was still "seriously ill" and naturally could not come to serve her.

But these girls, who looked fine on weekdays, couldn't even speak clearly when the critical moment came.

After being scolded by Mrs. Wei, the girl stopped stuttering.

"The general said that the East Garden had turned into a sea of ​​fire. Even if it was cleaned up, it would be uninhabitable. So they didn't bother to pick an auspicious day and moved to the general's mansion immediately."

"What?"

Mrs. Wei had been calculating very loudly, but now she had gained nothing.

The fire outside was so big that even she could smell the smell of burning fire in Yunjin Courtyard.

Even if the Duke died suddenly at this moment, they would have to leave.

All of a sudden, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
