There was a fire in Gu's house. The first fire was in Gu Qiheng's study, and then spread to the courtyard where Gu Chengxuan lived. After a while, thick smoke billowed and the fire spread into the sky.
The servants rushed to put out the fire, and the originally quiet Gu Mansion suddenly became lively.
The old lady ran out in her underwear, and Hua Niu, with her head wrapped in cotton, was walking behind, holding Fenxiang.
"Who the hell is this? Why are you so careless? If this house burns down, I will kill you."
The old lady slapped her thigh and scolded her, her face turned pale with anger and her head felt dizzy.
It was heartbreaking to lose money today, but the house burned down again in the evening. The old lady felt that the sky was falling. This was a life-threatening situation.
Hua Niu saw Yu Jinxi standing next to her at a glance and did not dare to say a word.
After being tricked by Gu Chengxuan, Hua Niu now understands her status very well. Everyone in the Gu family has someone to rely on, but she does not.
The only person she can rely on is her aunt, so she can't openly oppose anyone, otherwise she will be the first to die.
The fire spread very fiercely. It burned two houses at first, and later the yard of Yu Jinxi and the old lady was also affected. Only the servants of the Gu family could not put out the fire at all. The servants hid and stepped back. This time The old lady slapped her thighs and yelled, but it was useless.
Separated by a wall, Yanhuai naturally knew that the Gu family was on fire, and he also knew how the Gu family started the fire.
Qingfeng asked him if he wanted to help?
Thinking of Yu Jinxi's words, Yanhuai looked particularly solemn, "Are all the Gu family dead? Or are all the guards on night patrol in the capital dead?"
He was not in a good mood, Qingfeng did not dare to say anything more, and quickly walked out of the study, and then asked someone to notify the guards.
After struggling for most of the night, the fire was finally put out, but it started to rain. Qingti held an umbrella for Yu Jinxi. There were burnt out walls everywhere in Gu's house. Even if the house didn't collapse, no one dared to go in. Take shelter from the rain.
The old lady glared at Yu Jinxi hatefully, and wanted to curse several times, but she finally endured it and scolded the busy maids and servants.
No matter how unpleasant she scolded her, Yu Jinxi just pretended not to hear it.
A fire in the Gu family destroyed the whole house, but Gu Qiheng and Gu Chengxuan were not in the house and did not return until dawn.
As soon as he entered the house, he was stunned.
"What...what's going on?"
Before anyone could answer him, the old lady cried and rushed towards him, "Son, where were you last night? Your mother was almost burned to death..."
The old lady's hair was soaked and her clothes were wet. She was shivering from the cold.
Gu Qiheng was so distressed that he quickly had her taken to the nearest inn to wash up.
Gu Chengxuan saw Yu Jinxi standing beside him, trotted over and asked with a concerned look, "Mom, are you okay? Why don't you go to the inn with your grandmother to rest for a while, and I will pick you up when dad makes arrangements. return?"
After hearing Gu Chengxuan's words, Gu Qiheng saw Yu Jinxi, but now his eyes were full of disgust.
The house was burned like this, why didn't she burn to death?
Yu Jinxi did not answer Gu Chengxuan's words, but stared directly at Gu Qiheng, "Where were you last night?"
"Of course I'm going to do business. I have to pay so much money. Do you think I am the God of Wealth and can conjure things out of thin air?"
Gu Qiheng's face was ashen, and when he thought about what happened yesterday, a fire surged in his heart.
"Have all the compensation been paid?"
Gu Qiheng sneered coldly, "If I don't compensate, will they leave? Or can you help me solve my problems?"
Yu Jinxi raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I really can't solve your problems now. The fire last night burned everything in the house. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings were burned, and the gold, silver, and jade were broken. There is nothing left."
"What? It's all gone!"
Gu Qiheng's voice suddenly rose, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Yu Jinxi smiled slyly, "Yes, it's all gone. Keep it for people to remember, sell it for people to laugh at, or simply destroy it all."
"Did you...did you set the fire?"
Gu Qiheng was shocked. He said how could a fire break out in a perfectly good house? It turned out to be her fault.
Qingti said, "My lady didn't do it on purpose. The attitude you and the old lady had towards her yesterday was really hurtful. She was so angry that she set the fire..."
"Gu Qiheng, those things are gone, you don't have to worry about them anymore, and we won't be quarreling anymore."
There was a smile on Yu Jinxi's face, but it was creepy.
Gu Qiheng was glad that he took Gu Chengxuan to Liu Ruyan's place last night, otherwise Yu Jinxi, a crazy woman, might have dragged him to die with her.
Gu Qiheng stared at Yu Jinxi and suddenly said, "Jinxi, are you sick? Why don't you find a doctor?"
"I'm not sick."
Yu Jinxi denied it directly. She walked up to Gu Qiheng in a few steps and stared at him, "Tell me, will we quarrel again in the future? Will you still blame me for that tacky thing?"
She was very close to him, and her big eyes were full of fierceness, as if if he dared to say a word, she would pounce on him and bite him.
Yu Jinxi has become so strange.
Gu Qiheng was a little frightened, and he didn't care about setting fire to her at the moment. He first settled the person with nice words and then made plans.
Gu Chengxuan clenched his fists when he saw that Gu Qiheng, who was originally furious, suddenly changed his attitude towards Yu Jinxi.
There was a fire at home, so Gu Qiheng took leave of absence to deal with family matters. However, he did not go to court that day, and there were countless rumors about him, including his lack of personal ethics and unhealthy family tradition. There were even ministers standing in the court to criticize him verbally.
But when the emperor learned about the whole incident, he dealt with it lightly. First, he ordered him to pay the money and second, return the dowry.
When Yu Jinxi learned the news, he was already in the inn.
She didn't expect that this thing would make the emperor furious, nor did she expect that the emperor would uphold justice and let them reconcile, so when she heard the news, she didn't feel disappointed, let alone sad.
Although the emperor took this matter lightly, the people in the capital really hated Gu Qiheng extremely. Not to mention the officials' wives, even the street vendors and vendors scorned the poor Gu Qiheng.
They seized the wife's dowry and forced her to sell the dowry to pay off her debts. The whole family, old and young, were all over Yu Jinxi's body, eating her flesh and drinking her blood. They said they were from an official family, but in fact they were worse than a country woman.
The Gu family was always rolled their eyes wherever they went. The old lady would be awkward at first, but later she would break the rules and scold anyone who didn't like her. Because of her, the Gu family was completely famous.
Although most of Gu's house was burned down, it could still be lived in after tidying up, so he moved back within two days.
The old lady knew that it was Yu Jinxi who set the fire. She blocked the door of her room every day and called her a broom star. She was so thirsty that Yu Jinxi didn't come forward. In the end, she had to be taken away by Gu Qiheng.
