Li Jin's expression changed.

So does Li Shu.

What she told Lin Yuan was to find a dark and windy night to burn down her and her mother's yard!

Why did they do this in broad daylight?

The person who went to the Marquis' Mansion to pick her up just told her that Li Yunzhi had rescheduled the banquet to recognize Xie Yu as his goddaughter to today!

Even though the banquet to celebrate the Grand Princess's adoption of her as her goddaughter has been moved to today, the number of guests going to the general's residence for the banquet will be greatly reduced, and the number of people will definitely not be too small, so the fire will surely be put out soon!

Not only is the effort in vain, but it might also expose the people in their building!

Thinking of this, Li Shu was about to look at Jingzhe and ask him to notify Linyuan to come see her, when she heard Li Jin, who had already climbed onto his own horse, ask loudly: "Where did the fire break out? How did it happen?"

"The fire in Madam's Shaoguang Courtyard and Miss's Liuli Courtyard is caused by unknown reasons, but the fire is very fierce. I'm afraid..."

Before the man could finish his words, Li Jin whipped his horse and galloped away.

Li Shu felt relieved because the fire was so fierce.

No matter what, as long as it can be burned cleanly.

As for whether the people in Lin Yuan's building were evacuated in time, Lin Yuan would definitely come to see her today to report the situation, and she would ask then.

Then she heard Yaofang say with regret, "Although I have never been to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, I have often heard people praise the young lady and your mother's courtyard as the most warmly and elegantly decorated of all the rear courtyards in the capital. I never thought it would catch fire!"

Li Shu twitched the corners of her mouth to hide the reluctance that remained in her heart.

Yaofang then added, "It seems that the young lady's mother also disagrees with General Chu's decision to adopt Miss Xie as his goddaughter!"

"Um……"

Li Shu responded very softly and followed Yaofang into the Grand Princess's Mansion.

It was her first time entering the Grand Princess's Mansion.

But she had heard that the Grand Princess's Mansion was not only the largest mansion in the capital, but also extremely luxurious, with every inch of land being worth a lot of money.

So after entering, she subconsciously looked around.

However, he did not see any excessive luxury, but he found that there were many palace soldiers under the corridors everywhere.

The atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

It gives people the feeling of walking in a palace.

They followed Aunt Yaofang in twists and turns for a long time before finally arriving at the banquet venue.

From a distance, she saw Yin Feier looking up outside the palace gate, so she quickened her pace slightly.

"Sister Ali, the cape you're wearing today is really beautiful. I've seen it before at the Imperial Aunt's place and wanted to ask her for it, but I didn't dare to ask. I didn't expect the Imperial Aunt to give it to you, Sister Ali!"

After they approached, Yin Feier looked at the cloak on her body with envy.

Li Shu smiled and said, "Then I'll give it to you as a makeup accessory later?"

"No, Sister Ali, don't think you can just send me away for nothing! I want you to put your heart into preparing the makeup for me!"

"This is really difficult for me. After all, you have everything you need!"

"Who said that! I'm missing so many things!"

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully later, but... why are you here today?"

"But it's not just me who's here. The Crown Prince is here too, and of course, Murong Yunchu is here too..."

Speaking of Murong Yunchu, Yin Feier's face showed a little displeasure. "She's pregnant again, isn't she? If she's pregnant, she should stay in the Eastern Palace and take care of the baby. Why is she running here with the Crown Prince to join in the fun? The Crown Prince is so busy taking care of her that he has no time to pay attention to me!"

Li Shu smiled.

I thought that Fei'er disliked Murong Yunchu in various ways, perhaps because Murong Yunchu was always courting the prince, and she felt that her brother, the prince, would be snatched away by Murong Yunchu sooner or later?

I didn't expect Murong Yunchu to actually succeed...

At this time, Yaofang said beside her: "Princess, you must be getting impatient. Please come inside and sit down and talk slowly."

Yin Feier immediately took Li Shu's arm and went into the hall.

As soon as they entered, the originally noisy hall immediately became much quieter.

Many people looked at them at the same time.

Li Shu looked straight ahead at Yin Wanyu who was sitting at the top of the table.

After walking in front of Yin Wanyu, he let go of Yin Feier's hand, knelt down and called out "Grandma".

Yin Wanyu stood up with a smile on her face and helped her up. She took up her hand with the bracelet and said loudly, "To be honest, I have already privately adopted A-Li as my goddaughter. I specially held a banquet today just to let everyone know. I hope you all will not mind."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless congratulations rang out.

Only then did Li Shu look at who had come.

She was quite surprised when she saw several elders of the Li family.

Although Li Yunzhi had gradually distanced himself from his family after his mother's passing, frustrated by their constant visits to urge him to remarry, they should have gone today to see Li Yunzhi's goddaughter. They hadn't expected to end up at the Grand Princess's residence...

She was just wondering whether she should go and say hello when Yin Wanyu gestured for her to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Yin Feier leaned over to her and whispered in her ear, "I heard that when those people from the Li family came, the imperial aunt was also very surprised!"

"So, grandma didn't invite them at all?"

"Yeah! They came here on their own!"

"..."

Li Shu was a little concerned.

I decided to go say hello after the banquet and ask a few questions.

What she didn't know was that at this time, the Zhenbei General's office was in chaos.

Because the fire was very fierce once it started.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yunzhi led his men to Shaoguang Courtyard as quickly as possible, and happened to run into Ning Jin, who was in disheveled and rushing out of Shaoguang Courtyard holding Xie Yu.

At that moment, Li Yunzhi was a little angry.

Even though Yu'er is already Ning Jin's person!

Even if he asked Ning Jin to send Yu'er back and comfort her!

But in broad daylight, in just a short while, still in Shaoguangyuan, they actually...

Li Yunzhi was extremely angry, but he couldn't vent his anger.

Ning Jin was embarrassed as he held Xie Yu in his arms in front of everyone.

It was not until Li Yunzhi ordered that the fire must be put out as soon as possible at all costs and the surroundings were in chaos that Ning Jin carried Xie Yu to the nearest main courtyard and found an uninhabited room to put out the fire.

The moment the compartment door closed, Xie Yu thought he was in a hurry to find a room to continue.

Because she used a large dose of the drug.

Who would have thought that Ning Jin would grab her neck and hang her against the door.

Just now, she took the initiative to take off all her clothes and threw herself into his arms, and when Ning Jin carried her out, he just grabbed a cloak and wrapped her up.

At this time, the cloak was loose, and she was shivering with cold. At the same time, she was terrified because her neck was pinched and she could not breathe.

Thanks to the system, when she first met Ning Jin and the others, she had already become a special existence in their eyes. They had never seen Ning Jin look so murderous at this moment.

She was terrified!

I forgot to ask the system for help!

Fortunately, Ning Jin didn't tighten his grip on her neck. Instead, he gritted his teeth and asked, "You drugged me last time, too!"
