Chapter 107 Everything’s Gone

In the middle of the night, the entire Jingling City was quiet . Suddenly, a streak of fiery light rose into the sky, staining the night with red .

The officials in charge of patrolling the streets were startled awake by the ringing of a gong . They put on their clothes and looked towards the fire . When they saw it, they turned pale with fright . "Isn't that the direction of Niyunfang?"

Very quickly, most of Jingling City citizens awakened . Cao Yunnian didn't even have time to put on his clothes properly before he ran to the downstairs of the Niyunfang .

There were already people fighting the fire, but it was not easy to put it out .

Cao Yunnian broke out in cold sweat, "Where is Miss Mu? Is there anyone struck inside Niyunfang? "

"The door seems to be locked . There shouldn't be anyone inside …" The person who spoke was not sure either . Since there had been a lot of things happening recently, Miss Mu and the rest stayed in the Niyunfang . "

"No one is good, no one is good …" Before he could finish wiping his sweat, he heard a cry for help from upstairs .

"Help! Help! "

Cao Yunnian suddenly raised his head and saw that on the third floor was filled with people . Suddenly, the windows of the building opened, and one blanket after another thrown down, followed by cloth rope falling down from the windows .

Cao Yunnian's face turned pale, he had just received the Emperor's rewards, and if something were to happen to Mu Yunyao at this time, then he might not be able to be keep his position . He immediately commanded the guards below: "Quickly save them, don't let the cloth rope burn down, quickly!"

Upstairs, Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing, "Mother, don't be afraid . Just climb down with cloth rope . You won't get hurt because there is a quilt underneath you . "

"Yao'er, you go first!

"Mother, hurry up . Stop dawdling . " Mu Yunyao pushed the rope into Su Qing's hands and then pushed her out of the window, "Si Qin, you're second . Protect my mother well . "

"Yes, Miss, don't worry . " Si Qin nodded vigorously, then followed Su Qing's footsteps, down the rope . "

Seeing that Su Qing had safely landed on the ground, Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and ordered Jin Lan and the others to go down .

"Miss, you go first!"

"I'm fine, you guys hurry up and leave . "

By the time Su Qingwu rode his horse to Niyunfang, the fire had not stopped .

Cao Yunnian's face turned pale, and his body soaked by cold sweat . He shouted to the people upstairs, "Miss Mu, come down quickly!"

As Mu Yunyao was the last one to leave Niyunfang, she had no choice but to splash water on herself because the fire was too fierce . After that, she quickly slid down along the cloth rope, causing sparks to fall from the sky from time to time . The wound on her palm abraded, and a burst of a terrible pain struck her . The cloth rope began to burn, and it quickly swept forward .

Su Qing was so scared that she almost fainted . She screamed, "Yao Er!"

"Miss Mu!"

"Miss, be careful!"

Mu Yunyao lowered her head to look at the ground, fiercely bit her lips, and released her hand to descend .

She tightly shut her eyes, trying her best to curl up, not letting herself fall to severely . Just as she was about to receive the pain, she suddenly fell into an embrace filled with a cold fragrance .

Su Qingwu got off his horse and saw the dangerous scene of Mu Yunyao hanging in the air . Without too much thought, he quickly ran down to see the cloth rope burning . Just as he was about to step forward to save her, he saw Mu Yunyao release her grip and jump down! Fortunately, he reacted in time and reached out his hand to catch her . Otherwise, he would have lost half his life .

"Miss Mu, are you alright?"

Mu Yunyao opened her eyes and coughed twice . After confirming that Su Qing and the rest were safe and sound, she immediately fainted .

Su Qingwu's hands tightened . The person in his embrace was in a miserable state, with water stains on her body, and her cheeks also dyed with black ash, but he didn't care at all and only felt waves of warmth and softness . Her figure was slender and pet.i.te, but she seemed boneless . Now that she suddenly fainted and her entire body's weight fell into his arms, the strange feeling in his heart suddenly deepened .

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to take over Mu Yunyao and whispered to her, "Miss, Miss, are you awake?"

Seeing that Mu Yunyao's life was not in danger, Cao Yunnian heaved a sigh of relief . The anger in his heart was even intense than the flame that was in front of him now .

When the weight on his arms suddenly disappeared, Su Qingwu lowered his hand as he clenched his fist tightly . His gaze landed on the door of Niyunfang, which had not collapsed yet . He could faintly see the big lock on the door through the firelight, causing his face to suddenly sink .

He came this time to escort The Emperor's reward . He had just sent it into Niyunfang in the morning, yet it had completely burned down in the night . How could he report back to the capital like this?

Governor Zhang also hurriedly rushed over . Seeing Niyunfang, which was engulfed in flames before his eyes, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground .

Su Qingwu turned his head to look at him, and his tone couldn't help but carry a trace of coercion, "Governor Zhang, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, if not I would be unable to report this to the Emperor . "

"Don't worry, Lord Su . This matter will be investigated thoroughly by this lowly official," Governor Zhang gritted his teeth in anger, and immediately sent people to search around to see if there were any clues left behind .

When Mu Yunyao woke up again, she was already back home, with Su Qing sitting beside her crying .

"Mother …"

Su Qing trembled, and immediately wiped the tears away, and said with a pleasant surprise: "Yao Er, you're awake? That's great, Mother was worried to death . "

Mu Yunyao sat up and touched the bed surface with her palm . It was so painful that she silently inhale a breath of cold water .

"You have wounds on your hands and body . Don't move . If you want to do something, Mother will help you . "

Mu Yunyao insisted on sitting up and snuggled up to Su Qing's chest . She ignored the wound on her hand and held on tightly the front of her robe . "Mother, I'm sorry!"

Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and then, her tears fell even more violently . "Silly child, it's good that you're safe and sound . Don't be afraid . You don't have to be afraid anymore . "

Mu Yunyao only cried and did not speak . She kept apologising to Su Qing and had no way of telling her mother that she was the one who set the fire going . There was no way to make her mother not worry about her, so she could only use this method to ease the guilt in her heart .

Su Qing held her in her arms and patted her back just like when she was young, "It's alright, it's fine now …"

After a while, Mu Yunyao finally managed to regain control of her emotions . "Mother, how is Niyunfang?"

"The fire burned everything . " Su Qing had previously felt heartache, but now that she saw Mu Yunyao safe and sound, she no longer cared about those worldly possessions . Instead, she comforted her, "Yao`er, Niyunfang is gone . Let's start again . Don't be too sad . "

Mu Yunyao nodded, "I understand, don't be sad mother, I'll certainly open an even better Embroider workshop for you in the future . "

"Fine, whatever Yao'er says is fine . "

Mu Yunyao rubbed herself against Su Qing's bosom . "I want to sleep with Mother tonight . "

Su Qing caressed her hair and smiled gently, "Alright, then let's sleep together . " She was also afraid, so she hugged Mu Yunyao to ease her mind .

Mu Yunyao snuggled up to Su Qing . The light in her eyes dimmed, and an unlimited coldness emerged . Mother, don't worry . We will soon rebuild Niyunfang!

After about an hour, Mu Yunyao's breathing stabilized . Only then did Su Qing slowly open her eyes and slightly turn her head to look at her daughter's peaceful sleeping appearance . Her eyes flashed with intense heartache . After a long while, she helped her cover up the quilt on her body and accompanied her to sleep .
