Because of fear, the little mouth kept shouting loudly: "Help! It's on fire! Help! It's on fire!"
The night was originally very quiet, but now that Xi'er shouted, all the servants in the courtyard were woken up, and each one of them heard the word "fire".
In an instant, the already dark courtyard became brightly lit. The maids and servants picked up the buckets or basins around them and fetched water from the well to put out the fire. The butler in charge rushed to the kitchen in his nightgown and lowered his head.
When he looked, he saw Xi'er lying on the ground.
"You! You! You are dead!"
Seeing the raging fire in front of him, the housekeeper was almost speechless with anger. He could only point to the culprit on the ground tremblingly and mutter a few words.
"Quick, hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Hurry up, those on that side, hurry up and put out the fire!"
The housekeeper glared at Xi'er fiercely and ordered the servants in other courtyards to quickly fetch water to put out the fire. Fortunately, there was no wind tonight. If there was another strong wind, I'm afraid the fire would quickly devour people like a devil in its belly.
everything.
Finally, with everyone's efforts, the fire was put out...
Seeing that the fire was put out, the housekeeper glared at Xi'er fiercely again, and said even more fiercely: "You will die soon when the young master of the village comes. How dare you run to the kitchen in the middle of the night and cause a fire?"
?The maid can’t afford to pay for doing this for the rest of her life!”
After saying this, the housekeeper ordered people to tie up Xi'er with a rope. Poor and frightened Xi'er had no time to resist before she was tied up.
After a while of burning incense, Hua Xinhen, who was invited back from the brothel by his servants after hearing the news, also returned to the other courtyard.
Looking at the burned kitchen, three wing rooms, and half of the garden, Hua Xinhen's face turned black, and his anger was on top of his head.
"Who did it?"
The voice was almost roaring, Hua Xin was so angry!
As soon as he returned to the villa, he was surrounded by thirty-four concubines. He finally escaped and went to the brothel to drink wine, but he actually received the news that the other courtyard was set on fire?
My heart was blocked to death, and now I was filled with anger.
The butler on the side had long been dressed neatly and stood respectfully behind Hua Xinhen in an iron-blue robe and said humbly: "It was the woman you brought back, the young master, who did it."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the corner of his mouth when he answered.
