She was afraid that the Huang family was up to something behind her back, so she kept an eye on her every day.
When he arrived at the weaving workshop, he saw thick smoke billowing inside and panicked female weavers gathered outside the workshop.
At the door, the maid Xiaotao shouted with despair, struggling to rush into the workshop. If she hadn't been grabbed by someone, she would have rushed into the sea of fire.
"Let me go, I want to save the lady. Why is this happening? I just went to buy breakfast. Why is the workshop on fire? Miss, where are you...Miss!"
Xiao Tao struggled desperately.
Yun Ze and Ye Chen were shocked and ran over quickly.
"Sister Xiaotao, what's wrong with my sister? Why is there so much smoke. What happened." Ye Chen looked at Xiaotao anxiously.
"Second Young Master, hurry up... the workshop is on fire. The lady was busy too late last night and just went to bed. She must have been too fast asleep to notice the fire in the workshop. Go and save her..."
Xiao Tao pulled Ye Chen and shed tears.
Hearing this, Ye Chen turned around and wanted to rush forward, regardless of the thick smoke and heat inside.
But as soon as he moved, the woman beside him stopped him.
"Master Chen, don't go. It's too dangerous. There's fire everywhere. You'll die if you go in! If you want to save Miss Zi Yan, you'd better find other ways."
Ye Chen threw the woman away and wanted to rush in. No matter how dangerous it was, he couldn't just watch his sister in danger.
Yunze put his hand on Ye Chen's shoulder and said calmly:
"Wait for me outside! Don't come in... I will rescue your sister."
Nodding to the stunned Ye Chen, Yunze rushed in quickly.
Ye Chen wanted to follow him, but after thinking about it, he stopped. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help if he went in by himself. The trust in Yunze in his heart made him choose to believe in Yunze.
"Quickly put out the fire... Don't stand there stupidly. All the water in the fire tank will be used..." He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and quickly called for people to put out the fire.
Everyone came to their senses and quickly fetched water to put out the fire.
"Master Chen, the water tank was broken... all the water was drained..." someone said anxiously.
Only then did everyone discover that the spare water in the fire tank had been drained out by someone.
Ye Chen's face changed slightly. When I came to see the tank, I looked at the empty water tank with anger in my eyes.
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that the burning of the workshop was premeditated. There was no water to put out the fire, so they could only watch the workshop burn down.
"Don't be stunned, go and borrow water next door, hurry up..." Suppressing the anger in his heart, he quickly directed everyone to borrow water from the water tank next door.
People outside were busy putting out the fire. In the workshop, Yunze walked through the sea of fire.
"Sister Zi Yan, where are you...answer me quickly...cough..." The thick smoke choked Yunze and caused him to cough.
He picked up the pieces of cloth scattered on the ground and soaked them in the water tank in the middle of the courtyard. Only a small part of the water in the water tank was left. It had obviously been dug through secretly and the water was almost empty.
Fortunately, it is still possible to soak a large piece of dough.
Covering his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, Yunze searched forward.
"Cough...cough...I'm...here...Yunze..." A faint cry for help came from the accounting room in front.
The fire has blocked the door and is about to flood the house. The wooden workshop is on fire and is out of control.
Yunze rushed over and stretched out his hand to open the burned wooden door.
The door collapsed directly. He avoided the impact of the wooden door and saw Ye Ziyan lying on the ground.
Her face was full of panic at this time, and her leg was hit by a fallen Taishi chair. The chair was a bit heavy and it seemed difficult for her to get her legs out of it.
The moment she saw Yunze, Ye Ziyan's face was filled with joy. She just wanted to speak.
Suddenly, the screen behind her collapsed on her under the fire.
Seeing that he was about to hit Ye Ziyan, Yunze rushed over and reached out to block the screen.
Bang... The screen hit Yunze's arm hard, and he groaned as he endured the pain.
Yunze endured the severe pain and pushed the screen over, and his clothes were caught on fire.
Yunze wrapped the fire area with a wet cloth, and a burning pain came from the fire area.
Yunze knew that he was burned. He ignored the pain and moved the chair that hit Ye Ziyan's feet, picked up Ye Ziyan and rushed out.
Ye Ziyan looked at Yunze blankly. Her mind was filled with the moment when Yunze used his flesh and blood to block the danger for her. The look in his eyes became very complicated at this moment
Feeling the warmth of Yunze's embrace, I felt an inexplicable peace of mind. The fear and helplessness I felt just now miraculously disappeared at this moment.
Yunze wrapped himself and Ye Ziyan in wet cloth and rushed out of the workshop door.
The fire behind him could no longer be suppressed. The entire workshop was in flames.
Yunze put down Ye Ziyan, who had escaped from death, and looked at the burning workshop with gleaming eyes. The Huang family really couldn't wait to attack the Ye family so quickly.
Ye Ziyan recovered from her daze and looked at the workshop that was flooded by the fire. She collapsed directly on the ground, her face full of helplessness and despair.
"It's over! Everything is over!" The workshop was destroyed, and she was afraid that she would never have a chance to stand up again.
"Sister, are you okay..." Ye Chen looked at his sister worriedly.
Ye Ziyan stared blankly at the workshop that was engulfed in flames, ignoring her younger brother.
Everyone could see that the fire in front of her completely destroyed her last bit of strength.
"Miss, don't be sad, you..." Xiao Tao cried, holding Ye Ziyan's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't bought breakfast, no one would have taken advantage of me! I should have been keeping an eye on the workshop!"
Xiao Tao slapped her face in self-blame, her tears like a kite with broken strings.
Ye Ziyan grabbed her hand and shook her head.
"I don't blame you, Xiaotao, this is life...the life of my Ye family..." Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt helpless all over.
She and Xiaotao took turns taking care of the workshop day and night, but something happened. Who could blame it? If we really wanted to blame it, it would be because the Huang family was too despicable.
At this time, she really had no choice but to despair. It is impossible for the Huang family to give her another chance.
"Huang family..." Ye Ziyan said two words coldly, her whole body filled with evil aura.
"Sister Ziyan, come with me..." Yunze pulled Ye Ziyan up and walked towards the back.
Ye Ziyan looked slightly stunned, but still left with Yunze.
Ye Chen and Xiao Tao wanted to follow, but Yunze stopped them.
"You are here to clean up the aftermath, and check carefully to see who may have set the fire!"
Ye Chen and Xiao Tao stopped. Ye Chen followed Yun Ze's words as if they were imperial edicts, while Xiao Tao looked at Ye Ziyan. The latter nodded to Xiaotao.
Yunze then took Ye Ziyan to the dyeing workshop behind the weaving workshop. Although the two workshops are together, the weaving workshop and the dyeing workshop are still separated by some distance.
The finished fabric usually needs to be stored for a few days before dyeing begins. The Huang family did not attack the dyeing workshop.
