Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 249 Burn

Zhao Yunrong reached out and took out the roll of cloth, unfolded it, and saw the words on it that suddenly became glaring. His dark pupils gradually shrank, and he clenched his fingers tightly, his joints turned faintly white, and made a slight creaking sound.

Looking out from the slightly open window, the people surrounding Siyi Hall had gradually dispersed. The woman wearing a veil hat was also leaving, her body slightly leaning towards the man next to her, and it was unknown what she was saying.

Zhao Yunrong threw the gold-embossed cloth with the marriage certificate to Shen Jing behind him, and coldly said two words, "Burn it." Then he left in big strides.

Xiao Guoer looked at the burnt-out teahouse and sighed, "It looks like today is not a good day!"

Tang Jingchen also frowned deeply. Was the fire an accident? Or was it because Siyitang was too conspicuous and attracted the jealousy of his peers, so they deliberately used despicable means?

Fortunately, the fire was discovered early, otherwise if any of the dignitaries inside were burned, the Tang family would be in big trouble.

After the fire was put out, Shun'er went back to look for it, but found nothing. He was very frustrated and came back to report to Tang Jingchen indignantly, "Master, I don't know which bastard stole our things!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Jingchen frowned even deeper.

Xiao Guo'er also looked very regretful and said, "I should have gone back to get it earlier."

At that time, they heard someone shouting that there was a fire, and they ran out in panic, leaving everything behind. They only picked up her veil because it was right next to them.

Tang Jingchen patted her hands and comforted her, "It's okay, we can find another auspicious day to sign the marriage certificate again."

Xiao Guo'er still had a look of regret on her face. "The marriage certificate can be re-signed, but the gift that my uncle and aunt prepared for me is very valuable. Wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away in vain?!"

Tang Jingchen was originally in a depressed mood, and seeing her being so obsessed with money, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You..."

"Just thinking about it makes me so heartbroken that I can't breathe!"

Tang Jingchen comforted her speechlessly, "Money is just a thing outside of our body. As long as we are all fine, I will find you something better next time."

"That's not necessary. Siyi Hall has been burned down like this. I don't know how much damage has been done. You should go and deal with it quickly. I have to rush back to the palace."

"great, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Unfortunately, the appointment to meet tomorrow was destined to be broken one hour after Xiao Guoer returned to the palace.

There was a thief in the palace, and an important item of the Eighth Prince was lost.

Until the object was found and who stole it was determined, the gates of Prince Zunyi's mansion were closed and all servants were not allowed to leave the mansion.

Xiao Guoer lamented that her one hour of free time every day had disappeared for nothing, and cursed the daring thief for preventing her from going out.

But she had no choice, so she wrote a letter and asked the guard at the door to deliver it to Tang's residence, informing Tang Jingchen that she would not be able to leave the palace for the next few days.

After that, she stayed in her room reading some storybooks to kill time. She didn't have to do anything. There was a maid who was specially transferred to take care of her, bringing her food and water, cleaning the house, and doing some trivial things. Her life was quite comfortable.

Finally, after Xiao Guoer's hand injury was completely healed, the gate of the palace was reopened again.
