Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1789

Shi Anxia had heard from Madam An Guo before that someone set fire to the mansion on the day she gave birth.

Now her sister-in-law is still living in Tinglan Courtyard and has not returned yet. She just came to see her and mentioned this matter.

At about the hour of You, Shi Yunqi entered the young master's residence, first went to see his wife and son, and then went to see his sister.

According to Beiyi customs, women cannot see male relatives for three days after giving birth, as they believe that blood will bring bad luck. Seven days after giving birth is the final period of rest, and women can talk to each other through a screen or curtain.

This is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

The inner room has been fumigated with mugwort.

Shi Anxia, ​​served by Bei Hui, wore an apricot-colored headband embroidered with the five poisonous patterns on her forehead and sat on the couch, leaning against a hidden bag filled with chrysanthemums.

There was a screen in front of the couch.

There was a faint sound of boots rolling over blue bricks from outside the screen, and Shi Yunqi stopped in front of a chair three feet away from the screen. This distance was just right, avoiding the taboo of "blood and luck", while allowing the sound to come in clearly.

He sat down and there was a small desk next to the chair.

Bei Hui served tea before retreating to the door to guard it. The door was not completely closed, but ajar, with the curtain drawn to block the wind.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the brother and sister got down to business.

Shi Anxia directly expressed her thoughts, "It's urgent. I'd like to trouble my brother to go to the palace to meet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to revoke his order and not allow my children to be ranked in the royal family. This may cause disputes."

Shi Yunqi nodded. "That's what I meant." He paused and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince may be anxious to compensate his brother-in-law for his service to the country... That's why he made this decision."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, both avoiding bringing up the sad topic of Cen Yuan.

Talking about the arson case again, "The person has been caught. Can you guess who the mastermind is?"

Shi Anxia thought for a moment, "My aunt's son, right? Song Ruishi?"

That guy threatened to burn down the mansion earlier. After such a long time, he must not have given up.

Shi Yunqi nodded, "He is blind in one eye. It is said that he was beaten blind outside. He sold his sister to get money for gambling, and met a group of gamblers. They are all people who value money more than their lives, and they don't have much ability."

Otherwise, they would not have been chased away by the guards of their mansion, and one of them would not have been killed on the spot.

They were seeking money. Song Ruishi was angry and wanted revenge. He heard that the mistress of the Marquisate had given birth and must be resting in the main courtyard, so he set fire to the courtyard.

Song Ruishi had said long ago that he would come back and burn down the mansion. He felt that his life was difficult now because the mistress of the mansion was selfish and disregarded family affection and drove the three of them out.

Shi Yunqi continued, "Besides this, there is another acquaintance." He paused, "How about you guess who it is?"

Shi Anxia turned her head and curled her lips slightly, "My father's concubine, Miss Guo?"

"You really can't hide anything from your sister." Shi Yunqi admired her very much. Although he had a good memory, he really couldn't think of the end of this. "I saw that woman in the government office just now, and I was shocked."

Shi Anxia was not just guessing, it was obvious that she was worried about her father. She had even sent Bei Hui to the other yard to find out the whole story of how her father cleaned out the backyard.

At that time, she felt that Miss Guo was restless and might be a hidden danger, so she sent people out to look for her, but they couldn't find her.

"My father was irresponsible in his life and did nothing but useless things. The only good thing he did was that he ended up marrying Madam Gu." Shi Anxia rubbed his brows.
