"The little princess asked you to go, and you dare not go?"
Fang Zixu stared at Fang Li and asked hesitantly, "Father, do you know what she did to me?"
"What can the little princess do to you?"
"She...she just now..."
At this moment, seeing Fang Zixu stammering, Xiao Xi'er looked up at Fang Li and said, "Fang Xuxu (Fang Zixu) wasn't wearing any clothes just now, so embarrassing!"
After Xiaoxi finished speaking, she stuck out her little tongue and pressed her lower eyelid with her finger, pulling it down.
Fang Li was stunned upon hearing this. Fang Zixu, her face flushed, glared angrily at Xiao Xi'er, "I was dressed, and you pulled my clothes off!"
"You're not wearing any clothes, how embarrassing!"
"You...you...you..."
Unable to argue with Xiao Xi'er, Fang Zixu burst into tears, "You've seen everything of me, how am I supposed to marry a wife now?"
"You stay with my wife."
"What is a wife?" Xiao Xi'er asked, looking at Fang Zixu who was squatting on the ground, sobbing with his head in his hands, with a puzzled expression.
"My wife is truly my wife... Waaaaah!"
"Then I'll give you a wife, okay? Fang Xuxu, don't cry anymore~"
Xiao Xi'er also squatted down and looked at Fang Zixu, saying...
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Fang Zixu stopped crying. "Fine, then you'll have to compensate me with yourself."
You've seen me naked.
"But I'm not the wife you want?" Xiao Xi'er asked, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Only my wife can see me naked. Now that you've seen me naked, you'll be my wife from now on."
"Um....."
"You don't want to?... Waaaaah!"
Seeing Xiao Xi'er's conflicted expression, Fang Zixu burst into tears again.
"Is being your wife any good?"
"Oh? I have food, so I'll give it to you!"
"Alright then, I'll be your wife."
"Really?"
"Mmm, Fang Xuxu (Fang Zixu), please don't cry, okay~"
After hearing Xiaoxi'er agree, Fang Zixu stopped crying and began to act all proud and aloof.
"Who cried? Don't wrongly accuse me, young master."
"Then let's go find Wei Yuanyuan."
"Alright, let's go, I'll take you, you little dwarf... I'll take you there."
After Xiao Xi climbed onto Sha Ting's back, Sha Ting tried to get up, but Xiao Xi slapped him hard on the head.
"Fang Boo Boo (Fang Zixu), come up quickly"
Fang Zixu, who was initially envious of Xiao Xi'er for being able to ride a tiger, couldn't wait to climb up behind her and sit down when he heard that he could too.
Fang Zixu had barely sat down when Sha Ting ruthlessly threw him to the ground, after which Sha Ting ran out of the courtyard.
Just as Chunhe and the others reached the courtyard gate, they saw Sha Ting carrying Xiao Xi'er and running out. They quickly turned around and chased after Sha Ting. Fang Zixu, after being thrown to the ground, quickly got up and went to chase after Xiao Xi'er.
Fang Li, standing to the side, was stunned for a long time by Fang Zixu's suggestion that Xiao Xi'er be his wife. By the time he came to his senses, Xiao Xi'er and Fang Zixu had already left.
Fang Li hurried to the inner courtyard to find his wife, intending to discuss kicking Fang Zixu out of the house, otherwise he feared for his life.
Xiao Xi'er had been in the carriage for a while when Fang Zixu caught up. Without a word, Fang Zixu got into the carriage Xiao Xi'er was in, and the carriage began to travel towards the Dingkang Rear Residence.
Upon arriving at the Marquis of Dingkang's residence, Xiao Xi'er and Fang Zixu went straight to Wei Yuanxuan's courtyard.
"Wei Yuanyuan (Wei Yuanxuan), let's go out and play!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er was about to run straight towards Wei Yuanxuan's house, but she was caught by Fang Zixu after only two steps.
What are you doing? I'm going to find Wei Yuanyuan (Wei Xuan).
"You...you're not allowed to go."
Why?
Little Xi scratched her head with her little hands, asking in confusion, "Write the prescription?"
"Because...because...there's no why, you just can't go in!!"
"Alright then."
After saying that, Fang Zixu went inside first. A while later, Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan came out together.
"Wei Yuanyuan (Wei Yuanxuan), you're here!"
"Xi'er"
"Okay, let's go out and have some fun together!"
As Xiao Xi'er spoke, she walked to Wei Yuanxuan's side, but Fang Zixu quietly pulled Wei Yuanxuan aside and stood next to Xiao Xi'er himself.
"Roar—"
"Quiet, kitty~"
Upon hearing the tiger's roar, Wei Yuanxuan turned to look. Although Fang Zixu had already mentioned it in the room, he was still terrified to see such a large tiger in person.
Hearing Xiao Xi'er's complaints, Sha Ting lowered his head in grievance.
"Let's go out and play!"
"good"
"Little Xi'er, let's go, I'll take you to play."
Shating willingly lay down. Little Xi'er then climbed onto Shating's back.
After sitting on Shating's back, Xiaoxi patted Shating's head, "Kitty~, so cute~"
When Sha Ting heard Xiao Xi'er praise him, he proudly raised his tiger head.
Walking slowly and gracefully, Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan exchanged a glance, then walked on either side of Sha Ting.
After leaving the Marquis of Dingkang's residence, Xiao Xi'er refused to ride in the carriage again.
And so, Xiao Xi'er started riding her Satiel and causing a ruckus through the streets.
——————
Qin Jue followed Zou Heng to the houses that had initially caught fire, and carefully inspected the surrounding buildings.
Zou Heng followed Qin Jue, visiting each house one by one. After they finished, Qin Jue returned to the eleventh house.
Have everyone start searching from the eleventh room outwards.
After everyone had finished searching, Zou Heng walked up to Qin Jue and shook his head.
Qin Jue started walking from the tenth house to the thirteenth house.
After walking through all the rooms, Qin Jue returned to the twelfth room, stood in front of the stove (the cooking stove in the countryside) for a while, and looked at Zou Heng.
"Have you located where the fire started?"
"The Eleventh House Kitchen"
"Wrong"
Zou Heng, not understanding what Qin Jue had said wrong, looked up at Qin Jue.
Was the fire started at the wrong location?
"Yes, you can see that this family has two pairs of flints in their kitchen."
"Is there a problem with either of the two couples?"
"A typical household will use a pair of flints for about six months and won't buy a second pair."
Zou Heng still didn't quite understand Qin Jue's words, and said...
"This household has two pairs of flints, which can be understood as spares."
"Wrong. If you're using spares, one pair of flints will always be much larger than the other pair; the two pairs are clearly not that different."
"Furthermore, the eleventh kitchen didn't have a flint. If you look closely, you can see that these two people usually light fires near the smokestack, and it seems they were afraid of burning the firewood."
"This time, it's quite obvious that there's another black mark next to the pile of firewood, which is significantly lighter in color than the one outside the stove."
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Zou Heng promptly squatted down to investigate and found that it was indeed the case.
"Send someone to question the eleventh family thoroughly; it's possible they were the ones who set the fire."
"yes"
After Zou Heng left, Qin Jue also came out.
