When Chu Yunyao and Mo Lingyuan took Siyu back, they were afraid that Siyu would catch a cold from the night wind, so they abandoned their horses and took a carriage instead.

In the carriage, by the light of the glazed lamp, Mo Lingyuan looked down at Siyu who was getting bigger and bigger in his arms for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at Chu Yunyao who was sitting opposite, feeling that the blood and inheritance in the world What a wonderful thing.

How could Siyu look so much like Chu Yunyao, even though her small face was round and chubby, but the expression of eyebrows and delicate facial features seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Chu Yunyao.

When they arrived at the mansion, the housekeeper and Bao'er, who had returned to the mansion early, had already arranged everything.

Seeing Siyu, Bao'er almost cried with joy, and reached out to hug her: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the little lady has grown so big. I remember that when the little lady was just born, she was only this big."

Siyu didn't know Bao'er, and put her arms around Chu Yunyao's neck, looking at Bao'er with strange eyes.

Chu Yunyao patted Siyu on the back: "This is my aunt. When I was young, my mother was very busy. After giving birth to you, my health was not good. It was my aunt who helped my mother and father to take you."

Siyu laughed, showing a few white glutinous rice teeth, and threw herself into Bao'er's arms, calling sweetly, "Auntie."

Bao'er thought that Siyu was thinking of herself, so she happily hugged Siyu to freshen up.

The two of them had a simple meal, and Mo Lingyuan sent Chu Yunyao back to the bedroom: "I'll go and bring Siyu over, you're not feeling well, you should rest earlier, I still have something to do, I'll stay in the study for a while , don't wait for me."

Chu Yunyao came out of the ear room, and just laying down on the bed, Mo Lingyuan came in with Siyu who had changed her clothes after taking a shower.

"Sleep with mother tonight." Mo Lingyuan put the child beside Chu Yunyao: "Daddy still has something to deal with, and he will come to accompany you guys after he finishes."

Siyu closed her eyes, yawned, slipped into Chu Yunyao's arms, and said vaguely, "Mother."

Chu Yunyao kissed her forehead, "Go to sleep."



In the middle of the night, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion, and Chu Yunyao woke up suddenly from her sleep.

Siyu next to her was so frightened that she burst into tears, clutching Chu Yunyao's clothes tightly in the dark, and shouting: "Aunt Hua, Aunt Hua, godfather..."

Hearing the child's immature cries and the two names instinctively shouted out of fear, Chu Yunyao felt sore in her heart.

She quickly lifted the quilt, put on her clothes and got up, wrapped the child in a soft quilt, opened the drawer, took out a pistol from inside, held Siyu in one hand and went out: "Don't be afraid of Siyu, you mother Darling, it's all right."

She pressed Siyu's head in her arms, and through the bright moonlight outside the window, she saw that the bedroom was empty.

It's so late, Mo Lingyuan hasn't returned to his room to rest.

Chu Yunyao opened the door and rushed out, putting her head into Mo Lingyuan's arms.

Mo Lingyuan embraced both mother and daughter, and took Siyu who was still sobbing and weeping softly: "Don't be afraid, Siyu, with Daddy here, everything will be fine."

"What happened?" Mo Lingyuan led Chu Yunyao by the wrist, and rushed towards the backyard.

The flames there were so bright that the dark night was reddened.

The guards and the housekeeper were evacuating the servants living in the backyard from the sea of ​​flames. The housekeeper shouted hoarsely, and ordered the servants to pump well water to put out the flames, and went in to rescue people.

Chu Yunyao looked at the guards shuttling back and forth and the servants holding basins and buckets, narrowed her eyes, and calmly stared at the burning house.

Seeing Chu Yunyao and Mo Lingyuan approaching, the steward ran over panting, "Master, Young Madam, you should stand a little farther away, this room suddenly caught fire, and I don't know what's inside, so it just exploded." It was too powerful and injured several people."
