The fire at the entrance of the courtyard was finally put out by everyone. As soon as they saw Guo coming out, they immediately stepped forward and poured the cold and bitter water from the bucket on the two of them. Guo was already unconscious, her right foot was dripping with blood, and Wei Laner in her arms was motionless.
Mrs. Wei frowned and said, "Hurry and carry the person into the house and see how injured he is?"
The maids and women pulled Wei Lan'er, who was dressed in black, out of Guo's arms. One woman screamed in surprise, and everyone looked at Wei Lan'er.
She was not badly burned, but her left leg seemed to have been hit by something. The lower leg was twisted so badly that it was obviously broken.
Mrs. Wei frowned deeply, "Go and ask the doctor!"
On a cold night, the fire that burned half of the sky was finally extinguished. There were burned roofs and debris everywhere, as well as a pungent burnt smell. Only then did everyone feel cold.
Master Jinghui was chanting the Buddha's name, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this time. She asked the female nun behind her, "What's going on? How can a good person slip into the water?"
The nun said nervously: "There are noble people living in this courtyard, and we can't disturb them rashly. It caught on fire for some reason, and the wind was strong at night. It's hard to tell if the candles were blown down."
Li Qingyi and Chang Lan looked at each other and looked around. The fire had almost completely burned the yard, and even if there were any clues, no traces could be seen. This Zhao family is really cruel, is he going to burn them all to death like this?
Master Jing Huini repeatedly apologized and rearranged the courtyard for everyone, saying: "I will go to the government office tomorrow and I will definitely find out and give the old lady an explanation."
The old lady nodded. Although spring had begun, the weather was still cold. The nun made ginger soup for everyone, and then called in the female doctor from the nunnery to treat everyone's injuries.
Wei Laner was the most seriously injured, and Guo was also seriously injured. His entire back was burnt black and blood red, and he was even unconscious. Lian Yu was so anxious that she burst into tears. The old lady ordered: "Send two Guard, go back to the house overnight and ask the house to drive a few more spacious carriages as soon as possible."
Lian Yu quickly asked someone to make arrangements.
The master was injured several times, and the maids and women were all more or less injured.
Mrs. Zhao only showed up at this time, looked at everyone's injuries, sighed repeatedly, and looked at Guo and Wei Lan'er for a few times. A sneer appeared on her face, but she hid it for a moment.
Li Qingyi shook his head secretly, if he didn't want others to know, he had to do nothing but himself. Once Mr. Guo gets suspicious of her, I'm afraid things won't end so easily.
But for Mrs. Zhao, she was already broken at this time.
Early the next morning, five more unusually spacious carriages came to the Wei Mansion. Everyone sat in the carriages, looking at each other in silence. They were happy when they came, but they were so miserable when they returned.
Wei Jin'er said sadly: "The Xuanhe of the aristocratic family is always like this fire, it will burn out after it burns out."
Li Qingyi comforted him: "You are too pessimistic when you say that. Isn't there another saying, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Moreover, we can't tell whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster."
Wei Jin'er was surprised for a moment, "Did someone deliberately set the fire?"
She thought for a while, "Zhao?"
Li Qingyi nodded.
Wei Laner was silent for a moment and said: "Good people will naturally be rewarded, and evil people will also be punished by evil people."
The injured man was afraid of the bumps, so the carriage walked slowly towards the Wei Mansion. In the other carriage, Lian Yu guarded Guo and Wei Laner.
Wei Laner groaned, frowned slightly, opened his eyes, there was no pain anywhere on his body, memories flowed through his mind bit by bit, fire!
Regardless of the pain in his body, Wei Laner sat up and touched his face with his hands.
"Ah!" Weilan'er screamed in pain as his left leg was torn apart and there was a sharp pain.
Lian Yu came to help her: "Third girl, you're awake!"
Wei Laner's eyes were filled with panic and he asked: "Lian Yu, my face, is there anything wrong with my face?"
Lian Yu shook her head: "The girl's face is fine, but Madam..."
Wei Laner's heart sank when she heard this. She vaguely remembered her mother rushing into the fire to save herself.
She turned around with a pale face and saw Mr. Guo lying on the soft couch, with a large burn on his back and scars on his cheek.
Wei Laner stared at her mother blankly, thinking of her mother hugging her tightly in the fire, tears falling from her eyes, "Mom!"
She wanted to move to Guo's side, but there was a heartbreaking pain in her legs.
Lian Yu quickly stopped her: "Girl, don't move. Your leg is seriously injured. Don't move!"
Weilan'er lowered his head to look at his legs, and saw that there were wooden boards sandwiched between the sides of his calves, which were entangled three times inside and three outside.
"What's wrong with my legs?"
"The girl's leg was injured. The wound has been treated in the nunnery. It must take some time to recover."
Lian Yu did not dare to tell the truth. If she said that she might be lame, Wei Laner would not be able to bear it.
It was already past noon when we returned to Wei Mansion, and everyone was tired, hungry and scared.
Li Qingyi returned to Zhuoxiangyuan, and Heng Wu was directing his mother-in-law to add hot water to the bathtub.
Seeing him coming back, Heng Wu quickly stepped forward to help her change.
Li Qingyi soaked in the tub and let out a sigh of relief, "Woad Changlan is also tired, go and rest quickly, as long as Hengwu and the others are here."
Changlan didn't care whether the tea on the table was cold or hot. He poured himself a cup of milk and drank it. After all the little girls had gone down and closed the door, he said: "I'm not tired, but I was so cruel to that woman Guo." Jin was shocked, if the girl hadn't kept the slaves alert and called for help as soon as something happened, the kerosene she brought could have burned down the entire Baoquan Nunnery with the help of the night wind!"
Isatis still had lingering fears about last night's fire, "Ms. Guo is just an ignorant woman who doesn't go out or step out. If she had any sense in her heart, she wouldn't be in such a situation. Now that Lin Dongxing doesn't care about her, she Without a backbone and full of hatred, he will inevitably become a lunatic with no bottom line."
Heng Wu listened, his eyes wide. "Is Mrs. Zhao really so courageous? Are you not afraid that Mr. Guo will let people find out and settle the score with her?"
Changlan shook his head, "Although spring has begun and the weather in the city has gotten much warmer, Baoquan Nunnery is still very cold on the mountain, and there is still a lot of snow that has not melted. I went to see it after the fire was out, and it turned out that The area where the kerosene was burned was very hot, and because it was mixed with snow water, it was not very obvious. Zhao asked Mrs. Wang next to her to rub it with grass ashes and cover it with soil again, and then mixed it with snow water. Not easy to spot."
Jianlan said: "Miss Wei San is also very lucky. After all, although Mrs. Guo is not a thing, she still hurts her daughter to the core. If she hadn't risked her life to save her daughter, Miss Wei San would have really died. Burned to death in the fire.”
