The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Then he turned to look at Madam Wang and said,

"Your wife, when you go back, please tell the master to go and sit with Zhen'er."

"Although the marriage between the Xi Mansion and the Qin family didn't go through, they've suffered an unexpected disaster. Zhen'er should go and visit them!"

"To prevent people from gossiping outside and saying that our Jia family is cold and indifferent!"

"Yes! Old Madam!" Mrs. Wang stood up and bowed to Lady Jia.

Wang Xifeng also followed suit and bowed her head, with a hint of joy on her lips.

Grandmother Jia nodded slightly and sighed softly.

He then looked at Madam Xing and Li Wan, who was sitting behind Madam Wang, and said,

"Madam, grandson's wife, in my opinion, you should go outside the city to invite some monks and Taoist priests to perform a ritual in the West Palace tomorrow."

"Even though she died before she even got married, she is still a member of the West Mansion after all. Even if she doesn't have a formal status, I still have to show some gratitude!"

"Yes, old lady!"

Mrs. Xing and Li Wan stood up and bowed to Lady Jia in response.

Wang Xifeng said, "It's really the old lady who cares about us daughters-in-law!"

Grandmother Jia waved her hand and shook her head slightly.

"Forget it, let's stop here for tonight and go back to bed early."

"Tell all the courtyards to be careful and vigilant."

All the wives and young ladies stood up and saluted.

"Yes! Old lady!"

……

At the same time, the curfew outside has not yet arrived.

The news that the Qin Mansion had caught fire and that the young lady of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia's wife who was about to marry into the family the next day, had been burned to death in the fire quickly spread throughout the city of Shenjing.

Everyone who heard this sighed and lamented, most of them lamenting that the woman from the Qin family who was about to marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a good life, did not have that good luck!

There is also a saying that the girl from the Qin family was adopted, and the Qin family wanted to climb up the social ladder through this marriage, but ended up being punished by God.

There is also a saying that the girl from the Qin family heard that the Jia family had a corrupt style, and she always resisted this marriage and finally chose to commit suicide.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, saying everything.

In the main hall of Qin's house.

Qin Ye bowed and sent all the officials from the prefectural yamen away.

Then he walked back to the first seat in a daze and sat down. Looking at the empty hall, he felt very worried.

After an on-site investigation by the prefectural yamen, it was determined that the deceased was a young woman.

After confirmation from multiple parties, the possibility of homicide was ruled out.

After Qin Ye's repeated arrangements, the coroner wrote a record of accidental death due to fire on the document.

Now, Qin Ye couldn't care less about the grief of his daughter's death.

The most anxious thing at the moment is how to deal with the Ningguo Mansion's subsequent anger.

After all, he was only a fifth-rank official. For the Qin family, a royal family like the Ningguo Mansion was an existence that they looked up to.

Now his daughter is gone, but Ningguo Mansion has been preparing for this marriage for a long time.

Tomorrow is the wedding day, but something like this happened.

Qin Ye is exhausted physically and mentally for the future of the Qin family.

After ordering people to prepare a coffin to bury his daughter's burnt body, he no longer cared about his grief and began to think about how to face the Jia family's accusation.

Just then, a servant came running over.

"Master! Excellent..."

Qin Ye slammed the table.

"Asshole! Your daughter was burned to death in the fire, what good is that!"

The servant shrank his neck in fear.

He said hurriedly in panic,

"I know I'm wrong! Please calm down, sir!"

Qin Ye waved his hands impatiently and rubbed his temples.

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

The servant said,

"Master, someone has arrived from Ningguo Mansion! They're waiting at the gatehouse!"

Qin Ye opened his eyes instantly, stood up, walked quickly to the servant and asked hurriedly,

"Who is coming?"

The servant replied with great trepidation,

"Yes, it was Lai, the steward of Ningguo Mansion. He said he came to express his condolences on behalf of his master!"

"Follow me if you want to hurry up..."

Qin Ye looked excited, and just after taking two steps, he retracted his steps.

Suddenly he said to the servant in a somewhat tired tone,
