In the middle of the night, this sudden change caused everyone to panic.
There were hurried figures, staggered figures, and panicked shouts and cries.
Ye Shixian woke up from her dream, quickly put on her clothes, and was stunned when she saw the bright fire soaring into the sky outside.
She didn't care about anything else and ran out immediately.
The yard was already in chaos.
"Get water quickly! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
Ye Shixian's steps were so hurried that she almost tripped and fell. Her hair was disheveled and she looked extremely embarrassed.
"Why did the west wing suddenly catch fire!?" Ye Shixian's heart was high, "Mingze is still over there! Go and save people!"
Shaoyao grabbed her, feeling extremely scared.
"Miss, please don't worry! Someone has already gone to see it! The fire is too big over there and it's too dangerous, so don't go there!"
Ye Shixian could already feel the faint burning pain on her face. When she heard this, she stopped in her steps and held Shaoyao's hand tightly, with an eager look on her face: "No matter what, we must rescue Mingze!"
Shaoyao immediately yelled at the left and right: "Didn't you hear the eldest lady's order? Go and save the second young master!"
The servants rushed in bravely.
Bang-dang——!
A burning door panel slammed to the ground, sparks flying everywhere.
Ye Shixian took a step back in shock, her lips turning white.
She looked around and finally saw Ye Heng, who was rushing towards him.
He was obviously awakened from his sleep. He came in a hurry and looked extremely ugly.
"What exactly is going on!"
The housekeeper was trembling and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master, the fire started in the second young master's room! Someone has been sent in to save it. You, please don't worry -"
How could Ye Heng not be anxious? That's his only son!
"If anything happens to Mingze today, I will ask you for it!"
The housekeeper shuddered and did not dare to say anything more. He turned around and urged his servants to go into the fire scene to save people.
"Mingze!"
When Gao ran over and saw the fire all over the sky, his legs suddenly became weak and he collapsed to the ground.
"Master! You must save Mingze! If something happens to him, I won't be able to survive!"
Ye Heng was already worried, but when he saw Mr. Gao crying, he became even more upset. He shouted angrily: "Why are you crying! Mingze is fine, nothing will happen to him!"
Mrs. Gao trembled all over and did not dare to say anything more. She just looked at the burning fire and cried silently.
Pots of water were poured out, but the fire did not weaken significantly.
It was midsummer, the weather was dry, and the fire gained momentum very quickly. Within a quarter of an hour, it had covered most of the west-facing room.
Time has become particularly difficult at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Mingze was finally carried out.
There were no signs of being burned on his body, but his eyes were closed tightly, and he had passed out.
Mrs. Gao immediately rushed over, first happy and then surprised, "Mingze? What's wrong with you!?"
He obviously didn't look injured, how could he be like this?
The servant who finally carried the man out replied: "Master, madam, the second young master was already unconscious when we entered!"
Ye Shixian thought of something and felt cold: "Mingze seemed to have drank a lot at night——"
Originally, he could have escaped long ago, but he was unable to wake up in time because he was drunk and inhaled a large amount of smoke, which led to his current coma.
Ye Heng sternly said: "Go and call the doctor quickly! No, just call the doctor Zhang directly!"
…
The fire burned for a long time and was finally put out in the middle of the night.
It's just that the entire west wing has become a charred ruin.
Ye Shixian looked at this scene dully, and she still hadn't come back to her senses.
She never imagined that such an accident would happen again just after she moved back here.
"Miss? Miss?" Shaoyao looked around and whispered timidly, "This is too evil. Why did you just come back...is there really something unclean on this second young master's body -"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Shixian stopped her coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shaoyao panicked and quickly begged for mercy: "Miss, forgive me! Servant, slave, I made a mistake for a moment!"
There was someone else next to her. Ye Shixian didn't want to cause a scene, so she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and lowered her voice: "Okay! Don't you think you've had enough trouble today!?"
The rumors about Ye Mingze have never stopped. After today, I am afraid that they will be criticized again.
Once such a reputation is spread, it is not so easy to clean it off!
She suppressed her annoyance and said, "I'm going to see Mingze."
The house has been burned down, and looking at it will only make people more troubled. Mingze has not woken up, and this matter is the most important thing.
Ye Shixian turned around and came to the door of the room.
Ye Heng and Gao were both inside, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Ye Shixian walked over and glanced at Ye Mingze lying on the bed. Doctor Zhang was taking his pulse, but he still didn't seem to show any signs of waking up.
"father."
She shouted softly,
"Don't worry, Mingze will be fine. I've also ordered people to clean the outside. I will definitely find out how the fire started."
Ye Heng frowned, but his eyes were still fixed on Ye Mingze.
Ye Shixian comforted him again: "It doesn't matter if the house and objects are gone, as long as people are fine -"
Ye Heng's heart suddenly jumped! Turn around suddenly!
Ye Shixian saw something wrong with his face and asked hesitantly: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Ye Heng didn't answer her words, but suddenly raised his feet and hurried out!
The west side room was burned. He had been worried about the fire from beginning to end, but he forgot that the study was to the east!
Those things——
Thinking of this, he became more anxious and quickened his pace.
Ye Shixian was worried and quickly followed him, only to see him walking quickly towards the study.
"father?"
boom--!
Ye Heng kicked open the study door and quickly swept his eyes across the room.
The inconspicuous pear wood box was still there quietly, with the copper lock tightly locked, and there was no trace of it being tampered with.
Ye Heng closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
so far so good!
"Dad? Are you... looking for something?" Ye Shixian, who followed later, looked confused.
Ye Heng took a deep breath, and when he turned around, his expression returned to normal.
"nothing."
…
A touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the azure sky was clear and far away, as if covered with a layer of green glaze.
Ye Yunfeng grabbed the teapot on the table, raised his head and poured water.
Ye Chutang dusted off some fly ash on the corner of his skirt, then walked around the screen and came to the bed.
Ye Jingyan, who had been sitting by the bed for the whole night, looked back and was about to speak out. Ye Chutang shook his head slightly and pointed inward.
——Xiao Wu is sleeping soundly, don't wake her up.
Ye Jingyan nodded, swallowed the words in her throat, and then her eyes fell on Ye Chutang's other hand.
It was a very familiar book.
"The Story of Chunhui Mountain"
No.
This is not the one my sister bought before.
