Because Feng Manman had been poisoned and her body had been injured after the detoxification, she felt especially insecure.
Under her pleading, Xiao Qirui had no choice but to accompany her in the residence for a few days.
He had finally escaped and returned to the military camp today. There were too many official matters to attend to previously. He originally planned to rest there, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.
He simply rushed back overnight. He did not expect to see such a scene as soon as he stepped into the residence.
The fire soared into the sky, and the red light connected. Everyone ran towards the backyard with containers. The shouts rang in his head.
“Young Master, it seems to be in the direction of Young Madam’s courtyard…” Xiao Li said in a daze.
Before he could finish speaking, the person in front had already run out.
Xiao Li was stunned and quickly followed.
Xiao Qirui ran towards the Splendid Courtyard with red eyes. It was hard to tell if his eyes were illuminated by the fire or if he was simply anxious.
Suddenly, a maidservant with messy hair pounced on him and grabbed his legs.
This place was facing the Splendid Courtyard. Through the courtyard door, flames shot into the sky.
Xiao Qirui was extremely anxious. He raised his legs to shake off the person under his feet, but the maidservant refused to let go.
Xiao Qirui pulled out his sword and roared, “Get lost.”
Lu Liu shrank back. She thought of something and gritted her teeth. She closed her eyes and wailed, “Young Master, Eldest Young Master, you’re finally back. Hurry up and go to the Magnolia Courtyard to save my aunt. My madam is still inside.”
A strand of beautiful hair fell, and the cold sword stopped, almost touching her skin.
“What did you say?” Xiao Qirui turned to look in the direction of the Yulan Courtyard and realized that there was also a sky full of fire.
Lu Liu heaved a sigh of relief. She crawled over and hugged Xiao Qirui’s legs. She knelt down and continued to cry. “The Magnolia Courtyard is also in trouble, but everyone went to the Splendid Courtyard to put out the fire.”
The Splendid Courtyard was the main courtyard, and the main wife lived there. The servants naturally went there to save her first.
In fact, it was not that no one went to the other courtyards, there were simply fewer of them.
Xiao Qirui looked at the Splendid Courtyard again. You Bai was anxiously instructing everyone to draw water and put out the fire from the river pool. From the looks of it, Yuan Yuwan had clearly not come out yet.
He closed his eyes and reached out to pull Lu Liu away.
“Young Master, Young Master, I beg you. Please save her on account that she once protected you with her life.”
Xiao Qirui paused.
Xiao Li caught up. When he saw Lu Liu, he frowned and reminded her, “Young Master, let’s quickly save Young Madam.”
This was a perfect opportunity to capture a beauty’s heart. Young Master, you can’t be stupid.
At first, he really did not understand who his young master liked.
Until both women entered the residence.
Every time before going to the Splendid Courtyard, the young master, who never cared about his appearance, would even change his clothes several times. On the way, he would stride so fast like he wished he could fly over.
Compared to the young master who often entered the Magnolia Garden in a sweaty state, if he still couldn’t understand his thoughts, then he, as his personal follower, should remove the word ‘personal’.
Lu Liu panicked. “Young Master, my aunt is also a living person. Moreover, she…
“Young Master, Young Madam…’
“That’s enough.” Xiao Qirui closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was calm. He looked at Xiao Li. “Go to the Splendid Courtyard first. You have to save Young Madam.”
“Young Master…” Xiao Li wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Qirui had already turned around and walked towards the Magnolia Courtyard.
He gritted his teeth in anger and ran into the Splendid Courtyard. Unexpectedly, he met a pair of red and swollen eyes.
You Bai glared at him angrily, snatched the basin from someone beside him, and ran to the pool to get water.
She had seen it just now. Young master did not enter the house, but went to the Magnolia Courtyard instead!
Miss was right. She shouldn’t count on others!
She was wrong. She was terribly wrong!

The Magnolia Courtyard was a small courtyard. Buckets of water were poured down, and the fire gradually subsided, but there was no movement from the people in the room.
“Madam, are you inside?” Lu Liu followed Xiao Qirui into the courtyard and hurriedly shouted.
Feng Manman’s cry of surprise came from inside.
After confirming where he was, Xiao Qirui snatched a bucket of water and smashed it against the door that was burning fiercely.
The door collapsed and she saw Feng Manman hiding under the table with her head in her hands.
The loud noise frightened her so much that she raised her head and looked at Xiao Qirui with tears in her eyes.
“Brother Xiao…” she muttered.
Xiao Qirui avoided the flames and rushed in. He picked up the only intact table and raised it above his head. “Can you get up on your own?”
“My… my legs are weak,” Feng Manman said with a trembling voice.
Xiao Qirui could only give up on using the table as a shield. He threw the table away and picked her up.
From time to time, burning wood would fåll from above, so it was extremely difficult for Xiao Qirui to walk. He was almost hit a few times.
“Be careful…” Feng Manman exclaimed and wrapped her arms around his back.
Xiao Qirui frowned and turned around to kick a pillar away.
At this moment, a few guards rushed in with soaked blankets.
Under the cover of the blanket, the group safely rushed out of the sea of fire.
“Young Master, are you alright?”
“It’s fine. Go put out the fire first,” Xiao Qirui said as he put Feng Manman down and turned to leave.
“Brother Xiao.” Feng Manman stopped him.
Xiao Qirui turned around.
“Thank you. You saved me again.”
“Just treat it as me repaying you for saving my life.” Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and continued, “Something happens to you every few days in this residence. If you continue to stay, it will harm you. I’ll get someone to send you out of the residence tomorrow.”
He had already returned the favor. It was time for him to do what he needed to do and protect the people he needed to protect.
Feng Manman’s heart tightened. She opened her mouth to say something, but the person she had been thinking about had already left without looking back.
A mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and Feng Manman’s body fell to the ground.
“Madam, are you alright?” Lu Liu quickly hugged her. “Young Master, my aunt has fainted.”
However, this time, no matter how she shouted, Xiao Qirui did not turn around.
Looking at the departing figure, a tear slowly fell from the corner of Feng Manman’s eye.
She suddenly remembered what the manager had reminded her the moment she received the mission.
She could not fake her thoughts.
But how could she not be tempted?
In the Splendid Courtyard, tongues of fire quickly spread, and the scorching heat burned one’s face. Booming sounds kept coming from all directions, and the thick smoke and heat waves choked one to tears.
Yuan Yuwan endured the burning sensation in her hand and poured all the water in the teapot onto a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
She looked around and noticed that the burning curtains had attracted fire everywhere. She quickly ran over and pulled them all off.
She had been too careless. She had thought that their target was in the front courtyard and that they had snatched the family management rights to better arrange for their men to enter and leave the front courtyard. She did not expect them to be so crazy as to set fire to the backyard.
It seemed that the seeds of the fire had been planted in advance. Otherwise, the fire wouldn’t have started so quickly.
Bang! A piece of wood with sparks on it fell. Yuan Yuwan couldn’t dodge in time and was hit.
She gasped in pain and got up, enduring the burning pain on her back.
Another piece of wood fell. She hurriedly dodged it, not wanting to be tripped and fall forward uncontrollably.
Suddenly, something above her head loosened. Yuan Yuwan’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around abruptly, and the beam of the house with the raging fire quickly enlarged in her eyes.
Yuan Yuwan smiled bitterly.. Why was it so difficult to live?
