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

"Please come quickly!"

"Yes!"

After the servant received the order and left quickly,

Qin Ye sat back down in his chair, looking uneasy.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and ruffled a few strands of hair on his forehead.

Leaning back in the chair, moaning softly.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, thought for a moment, picked up a towel from the side, and covered his forehead directly with it.

After doing all this, Qin Ye held his forehead with one hand and covered his heart with the other, looking heartbroken.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door.

The servant came in with a middle-aged man in a green brocade robe. It was Lai Er, the steward of Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as Lai Er entered the room, he saw Qin Ye looking so sad.

He also sighed secretly. If it were anyone else, seeing their family was about to become prosperous but something like this happened, they would probably feel bad!

He immediately stepped forward and bowed to Qin Ye.

"Ningguo Mansion's housekeeper greets Master Qin!"

Qin Ye seemed to wake up suddenly, opened his cloudy eyes, and looked at Lai Er with tears in his eyes.

"Butler Lai is here!"

Lai Er took another step forward with a heavy expression, bowed to Qin Ye and said,

"Master Qin, please accept my condolences!"

Qin Ye burst into tears and beat his chest and stamped his feet,

"Butler Lai! I, this old man, have let down the Ningguo Mansion!"

"It was all due to my carelessness. I neglected to take precautions, which led to the fire in the backyard..."

He said, beating his chest,

"I am a sinner! To have such a thing happen on the eve of such a great wedding!"

"Not only is my Ke'er gone, but the Ningguo Mansion's big wedding tomorrow has also been ruined..."

Before she could finish, she was already waving her hands and sobbing.

Lai Er also sighed lightly, nodded slightly and advised,

"Master Qin! Fire and water are merciless. Don't blame yourself too much for this matter!"

Then he waved to a follower behind him and said to Qin Ye,

"When my master learned of this, he was deeply saddened and sent me to investigate on his behalf!"

As he spoke, he took the two gold ingots from the servant who came before him and placed them gently on the table.

"My master has specially sent me twenty taels of silver. I hope Master Qin will accept my condolences!"

After seeing the silver ingots on the table, Qin Ye felt relieved.

Although the silver is not worth mentioning compared to the Ningguo Mansion's wealth and wealth,

But it made Qin Ye see the attitude of Ningguo Mansion clearly, and he would not pursue the matter any further!

He quickly stood up and bowed to Lai Er in gratitude.

"Thank you, General Jia! I am deeply grateful!"

"Please ask Butler Lai to thank you in person on my behalf when you return home!"

As he spoke, Qin Ye picked up a silver ingot from the table and quietly stuffed it into Lai Er's sleeve.

"must!"

Lai Erbu took it away without leaving any trace, and after agreeing,

He comforted Qin Ye with kind words again.

Then he said goodbye and left.

After leaving Qin's house, a servant came up to Lai Er in a flattering manner.

"Grandpa Lai, where are we going next? Back home?"

Lai Er raised his hand and patted the man's head, saying unhappily,

"You have a pig brain! The master has given instructions. We haven't found Rong'er yet. If we go back now, won't we be scolded?"

"Let's go to that Zuihonglou to find Rong'er now! I'm telling you, when you find him, hold him down first!"

"Yes! Grandpa Lai!"

"..."

……

Qin Ye personally escorted Lai Er out of the house and watched the Jia family members walk away.

It was as if he had just fought a great battle, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Thinking that his daughter Qin Keqing had passed away, he couldn't help but feel sad!

After entering the house, he called the housekeeper and asked directly,

"What about those two evils?"

The housekeeper knew who Qin Ye was talking about and said hurriedly,

"He's been locked up in the woodshed and is under guard. No one is allowed in without the master's permission!"

Qin Ye nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes and stared at the butler.

"Tell the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes for you later. As a father, I'm very happy to have such a loyal servant."

The butler nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, sir. I understand!"

Suddenly Qin Ye thought of something and asked,

"Where's Zhong'er?"

The official hurriedly said, "In reply to the master, the young master left in the afternoon, saying that the son-in-law of the Jia family invited him to drink..."

Qin Ye thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded.

"Forget it! Even though the marriage didn't happen, I can still get closer to the heir to the Ningguo Mansion, so I can look after him in the future!"

……

Although the fire at Qin's house resulted in loss of life,

Even though the prefectural government was alerted and had to come to the scene, almost everyone in the city of Shenjing knew about it.

But it did not affect those who were seeking pleasure in brothels and brothels.

On this bustling street where many brothels and restaurants are located, there is a restaurant with a signboard of "Zuihonglou".

The drunken Jia Rong was holding the shoulders of a handsome young man and staggering out.

Jia Rong said with a smile,

"Brother Zhong, I'm going to take you to a nice place tonight! Haha!"

The boy called Zhong Ge'er said with some fear and shyness,

"Sister, brother-in-law..."

Jia Rong waved his hand.

"Well, you and I are just friends! I tell you..."

But Jia Rong lost his balance and stumbled, bumping into someone head-on.

Jia Rong was furious and was about to start scolding.

But he looked up in amazement and saw a tall and strong man.

The man with a deep scar on his face stared at him intently.

I couldn't help but subconsciously tense up all over.
