After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Su Wan lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Do people always have to grow up?"

Su Lin curled his lips and said, "There's no need to grow up in front of my father and brother."

The corners of Su Wan's mouth curled up, and her face showed embarrassment.

"By the way, when will Second Brother come back?"

"He accompanied General Zhang to the outskirts of the city to appease the refugees. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

Su Wan nodded, "Then I'll put the gift here, and you can give it to him when the time comes."

"it is good."

……

Inside the palace, Emperor Jing and Xie Yin sat opposite each other, looking down at the chessboard in front of them.

"Xingzhi, what's wrong with you today? You've lost several times in a row. You've never been so respectful to me before."

Xie Yin curled his lips, "I was distracted for a moment. Come again, this time I will concentrate on recreating the glory of the past."

Emperor Jing raised an eyebrow as he looked at Xie Yin who was packing up his chess pieces and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xie Yin placed a piece on the chessboard. "What can I possibly be doing? I just heard a few funny stories on the way to the palace, and I found them amusing."

"Oh~ What's the matter? Tell me and make me happy too."

Xie Yin frowned and asked in surprise, "Hasn't your Majesty heard? Something big has happened in the Duke's Mansion in the past few days."

Emperor Jing looked up, his eyes lighting up as Xie Yin continued, "I heard that the Zheng family's eldest young mistress hired a group of eunuchs to frame her sister-in-law in order to seize her dowry and the position of mistress."

Emperor Jing's eyes widened. "When did this happen? How come I don't know?"

Also, there is such a vicious woman in the world!

Xie Yin shook his head. "I think Yu Langling was afraid of causing unnecessary disturbances in the court. Since Duke Zheng was not in the capital, he probably handled it himself. Alas, I don't know how the Su family girl is doing. I wonder if the Spring Festival Banquet can go on tomorrow."

Xie Yin dropped another piece, raised his eyelids and glanced at Emperor Jing, only to see that he seemed to be lost in thought.

At this time, Su Wan, who was pitied by Xie Yin, had already arrived at the farm outside the city under the escort of Su Lin. After making sure Su Wan was settled, Su Lin returned to the Su Mansion.

Su Wan stood on the high steps, her eyes sweeping across this extremely prosperous manor.

This place, called Paradise, was a personal reward from the Emperor for the Zheng family's remarkable achievements. With this honor, the Zhengs took advantage of the opportunity to encompass the surrounding land within it, meticulously expanding it to encompass a hundred hectares. For major banquets, everyone would gather here for a feast.

The manager of the village was named Li, and he came to pay his respects to Su Wan.

Su Wan entered the main hall and sat at the table. "I believe you are well aware of the purpose of my visit. Watching the Spring Banquet is no small matter. If the Lord is pleased, he might even come in person. Therefore, there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, not only I, but you too will be held accountable."

Steward Li's shoulders trembled. "Young Madam is right. I will certainly follow your instructions and make sure this Spring Festival Banquet is a grand occasion."

Su Wan nodded and said, "Please bring me the list of banquet arrangements. We can discuss it together tomorrow."

"Yes. I have already had the rooms cleaned up and the maids arranged. If the young lady feels it is not suitable, I will make the arrangements."

Su Wan waved her hand. "I understand. As for servants, the people around me are enough. I'm not used to having too many people waiting on me. I like quietness."

"Then if the young lady is alright, I will withdraw."

"Go."

After Manager Li left, Liu Shang came in and lit the best incense. Su Wan sat there quietly looking at the list, and Liu Yan and Liu Shang sat together to keep her company.

After Steward Li came out, he looked around. He called a servant over and said, "The Second Young Master's wife is busy inside. She doesn't like noise. Tell everyone over there to be quiet or stay away."

The servant said, "Yes."

The steward nodded with satisfaction and left with his hands behind his back.

The night was deep and all was silent. Liu Shang yawned and said, "Young Madam, everything outside has been taken care of. It's late, and there are still two days left. Let's check again tomorrow." After Su Wan finished her bath, she returned to her room and lay down.

The room was quiet and silent. After a tiring day, Su Wan quickly fell asleep.

"Ahem!" Late at night, Su Wan suddenly felt a dry throat and stood up to drink some water. "Liushang. Liushang," Su Wan called out sleepily, but received no response.

At this moment, her forehead was covered with sweat. Su Wan got up from the bed and was about to put on her shoes when she looked out the window and vaguely saw a red spot. She wiped her eyes and saw that outside, flames were already rising to the sky.

Su Wan walked outside and saw Liu Shang still sleeping, so she picked up a glass of water and poured it over him.

"Young Madam, there's a fire outside!" Liu Shang shouted.

Although the fire outside was growing bigger and bigger, there was no noise in the yard. At this time, a woman suddenly shouted, "Help, there's a fire! Help, there's a fire!"

"It's Liu Yan!"

Su Wan had asked Liu Yan to guard outside, which seemed to be the right decision. Then she heard a man banging a gong and shouting, "Someone, come! There's a fire! Come put it out!"

"Mrs. Zheng!" At this moment, a man appeared behind her. Su Wan turned around and saw Cang Yi standing there.

"Why are you here?"

"The young master asked me to investigate this place. I saw someone deliberately setting the fire. It seems that the person who wants to harm you is from the Duke's Mansion."

"Young Madam, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

"hold on!"

"What did the young lady say?"

Su Wan listened quietly to the shouting outside, but she remained extremely calm in the fierce fire.

"I'm fine, please leave immediately. Otherwise, if someone sees me, I'm afraid I won't be able to clear myself of this!"

"Young lady!"

"Go back and tell Chief Xie to do what he promised me. This is extremely important to me!"

The flickering firelight reflected on Su Wan's face. Her eyes were fiery and determined. Cang Yi was momentarily in a trance.

"What's going on?" At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted from outside, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Su Wan's eyes lit up, "Second brother is here. Someone will save me, you can go now."

When Cang Yi heard that Su Jue had arrived, he turned around and disappeared.

"What are you still standing there for!"

"Wan'er! Wan'er! Where are you?" Su Jue's voice was getting closer and closer.

"Second brother, I'm here!"

Hearing Su Jue rushing in, Su Wan came to his side with a handkerchief covering her nose. Su Jue saw that Su Wan's face was stained and her arm was injured, but fortunately it was not serious, and he felt relieved.

Su Jue pulled Su Wan and Liu Shang out of the wing room. At this moment, a group of people had gathered outside, including servants in the yard and farmers who rented land here.

"Second Madam, are you okay?" Rumor said crying.

"I am fine."

"You scared me to death! I went to the bathroom and saw the fire was raging, but there was no one outside. I almost didn't know what to do! Fortunately, Erlang arrived in time!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jue glanced sharply at the servants standing beside him, only to see that they lowered their heads with complicated expressions.

He had originally been following the general to check on the refugees outside the city, but someone had come to him on the way with a message saying that Paradise had caught fire and Su Wan was inside. Without a word, he rushed over. When he first arrived, there was only Liu Yan and a servant in the courtyard, calling for help. It seemed that the fire had come from some strange source!

"Is there anything valuable inside?"

"There are some account books and lists."

Seeing that the fire had died down, Su Jue settled Su Wan down and rushed into the room.

"How is this going!"

Su Wan looked up and saw Zheng Yanchen walking in anxiously. After seeing that Su Wan was safe and sound, his expression turned cold and stern.

He walked up to Su Wan and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
