In the middle of the night, the entire city of Jingling was quiet, when suddenly a blaze burst into the sky, dyeing the night red.

The officials patrolling the streets beat the gong, awakening the common people on several streets, and they all put on their clothes and looked towards the place where the fire was lit. After seeing it, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Isn't that the direction of Niyunfang? "

Soon, most of Jingling City was awakened, and Cao Yunnian ran downstairs to Niyunfang before he had time to get dressed.

Some people have already spontaneously put out the fire, but the fire is so big that it is not easy to put it out.

Cao Yunnian was in a cold sweat: "Where's Miss Mu? Is there anyone else in Niyunfang?"

"The gate seems to be locked. There should be no one..." The person who spoke was not sure. After all, there were many things during this period, and Miss Mu and others had been living in Niyunfang.

"No one is good, no one is good..." Before he finished wiping his sweat, he heard a cry for help from upstairs.

"Help! Help!"

Cao Yunnian suddenly raised his head, and saw a lot of people on the third floor. Suddenly, the window was opened, and quilts were thrown down, and then a cloth rope was hanging from the window.

Cao Yunnian's face turned pale. He had just received a reward from the emperor. If something happened to Mu Yunyao at this time, his official position might be lost, so he quickly directed the guards downstairs: "Hurry up and save people, don't let the fire burn Get the cloth rope, hurry up!"

Upstairs, Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing: "Mother, don't be afraid, just climb down with the cloth rope, and it won't hurt to fall with the quilt underneath."

"Yaoer, you go first!"

"Mother, hurry up, don't dawdle." Mu Yunyao stuffed the cloth rope into Su Qing's hands, and then pushed her to climb out of the window, "Siqin, you are second, protect my mother. "

"Yes, miss, don't worry." Si Qin nodded heavily, then followed Su Qing's footsteps and descended the rope.

Seeing Su Qing safely landed on the ground, Mu Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief, and directed Jin Lan and others to go down.

"Miss, you go first!"

"I'm fine, you guys go away."

When Su Qingwu arrived at Niyunfang on a fast horse, the fire could not be stopped.

Cao Yunnian's face was pale, his body was drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't help shouting upstairs: "Miss Mu, come down quickly!"

Mu Yunyao was the last to leave from Niyunfang. Because the fire was so intense, she had to splash water on her body, and then quickly slid down the cloth rope. From time to time, sparks fell from her side, and the wound on her palm was abraded. Breaking, a piercing pain, just as she fell to the middle, the lower end of the cloth rope was burned violently, and it quickly swept up.

Su Qing almost fainted from fright, and screamed: "Yao'er!"

"Miss Mu!"

"Miss, be careful!"

Mu Yunyao looked down at the ground, bit her lip fiercely, let go of her hand and fell down.

She closed her eyes tightly, trying to curl up her body, not letting herself fall too hard, just when she was about to face the pain, she suddenly fell into an embrace full of cold fragrance.

Su Qingwu got off his horse and saw the thrilling scene of Mu Yunyao hanging in the air. Before he had time to think about it, he ran down quickly. Seeing that the cloth rope was burning, he was about to step forward to save someone, but saw Mu Yunyao Just let go and jumped down! Fortunately, he reacted in time and reached out to catch the person, otherwise he might have lost half his life.

"Miss Mu, are you okay?"

Mu Yunyao opened her eyes, couldn't help coughing twice, and after confirming that Su Qing and the others were safe, she passed out directly.

Su Qingwu's hands tightened, the person in his arms was in a mess, his body was covered with water stains, and his cheeks were also stained with black ash, but he didn't care at all, he only felt bursts of warmth and softness. She was slender and petite but as if she had no bones, now she suddenly fainted, and the weight of her whole body fell into his arms, which suddenly deepened the strange feeling in his heart.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurried forward to take Mu Yunyao over, calling her softly: "Miss, miss, wake up?"

Seeing that Mu Yunyao was not in danger of her life, Cao Yunnian breathed a sigh of relief, and the anger in his heart was stronger than the flames in front of him: "How could something so good suddenly catch fire? Besides, no one came out of the building, but the door was locked?"

The weight in his arms suddenly disappeared. Su Qingwu lowered his arms and clenched his fists tightly. His eyes fell on the uncollapsed gate of Niyunfang. Through the firelight, he could vaguely see the big lock on the door, and his face suddenly sank.

He came here this time to escort the emperor's reward. He just sent the reward to Niyunfang in the morning, but it was completely burned by a fire in the evening. How can he return to Beijing to return to his life?

Governor Zhang also rushed over in a hurry. When he saw Niyunfang engulfed in flames, his eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground.

Su Qingwu turned his head to look at him, and his tone could not help but carry a hint of coercion: "Master Zhang, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise I really have no way to report to the emperor."

"Master Su, don't worry, the officials will investigate this matter and find out." Governor Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred, and immediately sent people to search around to see if there were any clues left.

When Mu Yunyao woke up again, she had already returned home, and Su Qing was sitting beside her crying.

"Mother..."

Su Qing trembled, quickly wiped away her tears, and said pleasantly, "Yao'er, you're awake? That's great, mother will be worried to death."

Mu Yunyao sat up and touched the bed with her palms, and she took a deep breath in the pain.

"You have injuries on your hands and body, don't move around, just do whatever you want, mother."

Mu Yunyao insisted on sitting up, and directly snuggled into Su Qing's arms, ignoring the wound on her hand, and tightly grasping her skirt: "Mother, I'm sorry!"

Su Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then she shed tears more fiercely: "Silly boy, as long as nothing happens, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

But Mu Yunyao just shed tears and didn't speak, and kept apologizing to Su Qing. She had no way to tell her mother that she set the fire, and there was no way to make her not worry about her. The guilt in my heart calmed down a little.

Su Qing held her in his arms, and patted her on the back as he did when he was a child: "It's okay, it's okay..."

After a while, Mu Yunyao gradually controlled her emotions: "Mother, how is Niyunfang?"

"The fire burned so badly that it burned everything up." Su Qing felt heartbroken before, but now seeing that Mu Yunyao is safe and sound, she no longer cares about those things outside of her body, and instead came to comfort her, "Yaoer, Niyunfang It's gone, let's start it again, don't be too sad."

Mu Yunyao nodded: "I understand, mother, don't be sad, I will definitely open a better showroom for you in the future."

"Okay, Yao'er can say anything."

Mu Yunyao rubbed against Su Qing's arms: "I want to sleep with my mother tonight."

Su Qing stroked her hair, and smiled softly after hearing the words: "Okay, then we'll sleep together." She was also scared, so she could feel more at ease by hugging Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao snuggled up next to Su Qing, the water in her eyes faded, and there was boundless coldness: Mother, don't worry, we will be able to rebuild Niyunfang soon!

After about half an hour, Mu Yunyao's breathing calmed down, Su Qing slowly opened her eyes, turned her head slightly to look at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, a deep heartache flashed in her eyes, and after a while, she helped her cover her face. Covering her body with the brocade quilt, she slept with her.
