Chapter 151

Relying on the only memory left in her mind, Chu Yunyao finally found the thatched cottage where the nanny lived, opened the door, and found that the furnishings inside were still the same, but there was no trace of someone living in it.

Bao'er touched the table with her fingers, and looked at the thick dust on her fingertips, "Miss, no one has lived here for a long time, the dust is so thick, the cockroaches on the stove are all starved to death."

Chu Yunyao pushed open the bedroom door again, the doors and windows were tightly closed, all the quilts on the bed were hidden in the cabinet, and a small wooden basin was placed where the water leaked.

It seems that no accident happened to the nanny, otherwise, it would be impossible to clean up all the things in the house, even the bedding was put in the cabinet and placed properly.

Chu Yunyao took Bao'er around the thatched house, and saw the neighbor who was coming back from the mountain: "Grandpa, do you know where my grandma went?"

The old man put down the bundle of firewood on his shoulders, "Didn't your grandma be picked up by some people sent by your husband?"

Chu Yunyao's heart skipped a beat, "The person sent by my husband?"

"Yes." There was a simple and honest smile on the old man's dark face, "You also asked someone to bring back a lot of grain noodles and special products. Your nanny was very happy, and said that the family you married was very nice and rich. Also very filial.

Uncle specially took her old man to the city to retire, and your nanny even gave me several bags of white rice noodles, enough for our family to feed for three months..."

Seeing Chu Yunyao's serious face, the old man's expression changed slightly: "You don't know about this?"

Chu Yunyao shook her head: "When did it happen?"

"It's been almost two months, why don't you go back and ask your husband-in-law." The old man pointed to his adobe house: "You have nothing in your house now, so go to my house for dinner and stay overnight."

"Okay." Chu Yunyao didn't delay, let Bao'er drive the carriage, bypassed the path, and went to the old man's house.

Chu Yunyao asked Bao'er to move all the things in the carriage, and called the neighbors in the village who were kind to her and the nanny to come over for dinner, and gave the old man a piece of silver by the way.

It took a long time for the people in the country to eat meat, and Chu Yunyao ate all the wild game that Chu Yunyao snatched from the bandits.

After drinking and eating, and chatting, Chu Yunyao understood the whole story in detail.

Among them was a teacher who was good at drawing, and even drew Mu Qing's appearance.

Chu Yunyao finally confirmed that it was Mo Lingyuan who sent Mu Qing to bring people over to pick up the nanny.

At that time, it had only been a month since she married into the Young Marshal's Mansion.

Mo Lingyuan never mentioned this matter to her.

This man, he detained her nanny privately, but pretended to be nonchalant, never mentioning anything, what exactly was he trying to do?

Just as she was guarding against him, he was also guarding against her.

"Miss, when are we going back to Jincheng?" Bao'er made the bed and built a soft nest for the little wolf cub out of old clothes.

"Tomorrow, leave after breakfast." Chu Yunyao lay on her back with her hands resting on the back of her head, thinking silently.

In the middle of the night, the flames shot up into the sky, and Chu Yunyao and Bao'er were woken up by the voice of "It's on fire, put out the fire".

As soon as he sat up, the old man's daughter-in-law barged in: "Yunyao, it's bad, your thatched house is on fire, go and have a look."

Chu Yunyao threw off the quilt, and ran out wearing unlined clothing. Bao'er chased after her and covered her with a cloak.

When she and Bao'er arrived at the thatched cottage, people in the neighborhood were carrying washbasins and wooden barrels and struggling to put out the fire.

However, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and soon people dare not approach it.

In the air, the strong smell of kerosene permeates...
