Chapter 3 — The Burner Exterminated Emotions, I Was Reincarnated as the Master of Destiny

I deliberately stopped, completely arousing the Great Lady's curiosity: "Maybe the old man is passionate about something and doesn't want others to disturb him." I intentionally said those words with meaning, and sure enough, I saw the Great Lady's face darken, and the hesitation I had just now was immediately replaced by disgust.

"But," I changed my tone, revealing a thoughtful look, "Hong Tu's words make sense, this smoke is indeed very spicy..."

Not waiting for the First Lady to speak, I turned to the storage room, pulled out a few sandbags, and dumped them directly around the outside of the Third Lady's room. Quickly cover the fire scene with a long, narrow strip of sand wall.

“This sand and soil can stop the fire, so the First Lady doesn't have to worry about the fire spreading and injuring the Old Master and the Third Lady.”

The corners of the Great Lady's lips curled even deeper. She nodded slightly at me, her eyes showing some approval. Of course, I also have selfish intentions in doing so, I just want the fire to burn more intensely, so that the hidden things inside will be discovered. Only Hong Tu had a pale face and his fingers tightly twisted the corner of his shirt. I glanced at her and of course knew what she was worried about. But I still have some doubts, neither heavy nor light, and ask:

"Sister Hong Tu, aren't you a close maid of the Third Lady? The fire has been burning for so long, why did you just run in from the yard?"

My words, in the blink of an eye, attracted the attention of the Great Lady. Her sharp eyes swept towards Hong Tu and also realized something was wrong: "That's right, where did you go just now?" When Hong Tu was asked like that, the panic on his face became even more obvious, his lips trembled, it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence:

"I... I just... had a stomachache, I went to the bathroom..."

I looked at her panicked appearance that she wanted to cover up, and I laughed coldly in my heart. Going to the toilet? Trick the devil! It was clear that she was at the door keeping watch. If the old man returned, she would have to run back to report the news first, so she wasn't in the yard. In short, she is the one who stands guard for the Third Lady and my husband inside, making sure they don't have any flaws. I just didn't expect that my fire would destroy all of their plans. The eldest lady looked at her, obviously not believing that clumsy excuse, her eyes became even colder. Besides me, everyone present here has a question in their hearts - Normally, the old man loves Third Lady very much, and can't bear to let her bear the slightest resentment. Why are you so patient today, still not speaking up? Only I know, the person in the room is not the old man at all. I changed into a considerate look, reaching out my hand to help Hong Tu up from the ground: "Little sister Hong Tu, it's useless for you to stay impatient here. It's better if you run away and help me invite my husband here." A harmless smile appeared on my face: "After the third lady and the old master went out, even if they were not burned, it was still difficult to avoid being frightened by the fire. Tell my husband to wait early and prepare some sedative medicine." What I said was very reasonable, but Hong Tu was not moved at all. She didn't dare move. Because she knows, my husband is not in the room right now, but in the Third Lady's room! Once she accepts my offer and can't find anyone, won't she expose the Third Lady's story to everyone? In the blink of an eye, Hong Tu stood there, hating It is impossible that it has never appeared from beginning to end.

"There's no need... it's late at night, I'm afraid Doctor Liu is already asleep, it's not convenient to disturb..."

“There are no such words!” I hastily expressed my loyalty to the Great Lady, "My husband and I take the money from the old man, naturally we have to do the work for the old man. Even if we don't sleep a night, my husband and I are willing!"

I looked at Hong Tu with a pale face: "On the contrary, you always find a way to avoid it, do you want to delay the diagnosis of the old man and the Third Lady?" Hong Tu was scared to death, but did not dare to tell the truth, he could only continuously shake his head. I looked at it with a feeling of joy, and I could even imagine how regretful my husband looked inside at this moment.

“Lady, wait a minute, I'll go call husband over here immediately.”

Before I could step out, Hong Tu stopped me, blocking me right in front of me: "You can't go!" This unusual movement finally caught the Dai Lady's attention, her eyes scanning back and forth over our bodies.

"What are you all causing trouble? Call a doctor here, can't I still give orders?"

The great lady had spoken, but Hong Tu, who was only a servant, still refused to move away, her eyes averted, clearly showing the guilty look of a thief.
