Chapter 230 How Could It Suddenly Caught Fire?

"You... you... how can you go back on your word?" Upon hearing this, Qiao Shu became so angry that she began to pant. She pointed at Lan Ruojing and shouted at him.

Lan Ruojing then took Qiao Shu's hand which pointed at him and pulled her into his arms. "I just like your strong character."

Then he put Qiao Shu's hands under his nose and sniffed it.

Qiao Shu suddenly pushed Lan Ruojing away at this moment and said, "Please be self-dignified, Mr. Lan!"

"If I hadn't been in a hurry to attend the wedding banquet in the mansion of Shuo, I would have had fun with you, Miss Qiao. You've done it well today. When I'm free in the future, I will ask you to date with me." Lan Ruojing smiled and said to Qiao Shu, and he then turned and walked out of the alley.

After Lan Ruojing walked out of the alley, Qiao Shu felt angry and nervous. She finally decided to give up Shuo Ling. However, she met Lan Ruojing who was such a dishonest scumbag. What should she do now?

After worrying for a while, Qiao Shu returned to normal and walked out of the alley.

Zhou Ji then watched Lan Ruojing and Qiao Shu come out one after another and quickly put down the sugar figurine in his hand.

Then he followed up.

When Zhou Ji just walked a few steps, he heard a few people standing on the side of the road saying something.

"Do you know? There was a shop on fire just now."

"Whose shop it is?"

"I heard that it's Woman Flower owned by Infanta Qingcheng. The fire was fierce and even hurt some people."

"It's the wedding day of Infanta Qingcheng and Marquis Shuo today, but their shop was destroyed like this."

"Exactly. Fortunately, no one was burned to death, but some goods were destroyed."

After hearing this, Zhou Ji could not help but frown. He could not believe that Woman Flower caught fire because he had just followed Qiao Shu from there.

When he thought about Qiao Shu, he realized something and strode to Woman Flower.

Last night, Lan Ruojing had met Qiao Shu. Just after Qiao Shu went to Woman Flower, it caught fire immediately. However, according to what Lan Ruojing and Qiao Shu said just now in the alley and their behavior, the fire in Woman Flower must have something to do with Qiao Shu.

Thinking of that, Zhou Ji then sped up to Woman Flower.

When Zhou Ji ran to the door of Woman Flower, he saw that the fire had been extinguished and there were ashes in front of the door. There was only one person in the shop, and his body and face were full of ashes.

Zhou Ji then frowned.

It was the wedding day of Infanta Qingcheng and Marquis Shuo today. If they knew about it, they would not continue their wedding.

But at this point, they could only proceed without a plan.

At this time, the carriage had arrived at the Blossoming Peach, and Baihe quickly ran inside and called Lu'an and Wufu out.

When girls in the Blossoming Peach saw Baihe was like this and Xian was injured, they worried about them and asked what had happened.

Baihe shook her head and said, "It's a long story. Let's send Xian back to the room first."

Then Lu'an and Wufu gently carried Xian into the room and put him on the bed.

At this time, Xian had already suffered so much that his forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing that, Nichang asked, "What's the matter? Why are your faces dirty, and why is Xian injured?"

"The warehouse of Woman Flower was on fire." Baihe then said.

"The batch of goods should have been handed over to Mr. Jia today, Xian and others ran into the fire to take out the remaining fabrics." Baihe said to the girls in the Blossoming Peach at this moment.

Nichang and others asked in surprise, "What? Woman Flower was on fire?"

"Yes." Baihe then nodded.

Then she said, "Xian's leg was also injured by the pillar that was destroyed by the fire when he entered the warehouse."

"Is Xian's leg okay? How badly it hurt?" Wufu who was standing aside asked.

Baihe said again at this time, "Dr. Zhou has just checked it and he said it may be fractured."

"Fractured? How could it be fractured? Then in the future, Xian..." Lu'an frowned and said at this moment, and then he looked at Xian worriedly.

Xian was lying on the bed, and he shook his head at this moment. Then he smiled and said, "Nothing at all."

"Nothing? Your leg is broken. If it can not be treated well, you will be a cripple in the future!" Lu'an said loudly after hearing that.

These days, Lu'an, Wufu, had treated Xian as their eldest brother. They could not imagine that Xian's leg would not get better.

Xian knew that everyone was worried about him, so he said again, "Now that things have been like this, it is useless to say anything else. It's the wedding day of Her Highness today. You shouldn't tell her about this. There is a dinner party in front of the Blossoming Peach. Her Highness will definitely come then. If she asks something about me, just tell her I'm busy in the shop. You should never tell her about this."

Xian repeatedly stressed that because last time when Yang Zijin got married, she left the wedding and went forward when there was something happened at the city gate. Xian worried that if Yang Zijin knew the fire in Woman Flower, she would do the same thing again.

So he told them again and again.

The people in the Blossoming Peach then nodded.

Then Xian looked at Lu'an and Wufu and said, "You two go to Woman Flower first. Now Manager Li is staying inside. When you arrive there, let him go back to clean himself and take a rest."

"Well, OK." Wufu and Lu'an nodded at this moment.

At this time, Dr. Zhou stood up and said to the people in the Blossoming Peach, "Go out first, and I'll see if Xian's legs can be cured!"

They all nodded. Nichang and others helped Baihe and Ruoling to walk out of the house.

When everyone was out of the house, Dr. Zhou sat down in front of Xian's bed.

Then, the trousers on the injured leg of Xian were torn down.

Dr. Zhou had seen it before they left Woman Flower just now. Even if he could cure this leg, maybe Xian could not walk as usual in the future.

Then Dr. Zhou touched Xian's calf with his hand. He looked up and asked Xian, "Does it hurt here?"

Xian nodded at this moment. "A little."

Then Dr. Zhou's hand moved upward and asked. "What about here?"

Xian felt painful and frowned at this moment.

Dr. Zhou nodded and knew which part of his leg was broken by the pillar.

Then he said to Xian, "Next, I will check if your bone is completely broken. It may hurt very much. You can cry out if you cannot bear it."

Xian nodded to Dr. Zhou at this moment.

Then Dr. Zhou looked down and checked Xian's leg.

Dr. Zhou first touched it with his hand slightly, and then began to touch it with a little force.

At this time, Xian could not help but twitch suddenly. Dr. Zhou looked at Xian and asked, "Can you bear it now?"

Xian's head was full of sweat at this time, and then he clenched his teeth and nodded to Dr. Zhou.

Dr. Zhou continued to touch, only to see Xian bit his lip at this time. His face was pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. Blood was oozing from his lip because he bit it tightly.

A moment later, Dr. Zhou moved his hand away from Xian's leg.

"How about it?" Xian was lying in bed and felt tired at this moment. He asked softly.

Dr. Zhou shook his head at Xian at this time and said, "It's not good. It hurts the bones. I will make a prescription to get some herbs and fix the injured calf first."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhou" Xian said weakly at this moment.

Dr. Zhou shook his head and said, "You are welcome. Now you are in bad health. You should lie down and rest first. I will prescribe medicine, and then fix your legs with herbs."

Xian nodded slightly at this moment.

Later, Dr. Zhou covered the quilt for Xian and went aside to prescribe medicine.

From the reaction of Xian who felt painful just now, the situation of the injured leg was very bad. Although it was not broken off, the leg bone must be cracked. Even if it could be cured well, it would be difficult to return to normal.

Then Dr. Zhou stepped aside to find paper and pen and began to write prescriptions.

And when Nichang, Baihe, and others walked out of Xian's room, Nichang accompanied Baihe and others back to the house to change clothes.

After they were cleaned, Wen Lan asked Baihe at this time, "What was going on there? How could the warehouse suddenly catch fire?"

"I don't know. When I was talking to Accountant Li, I smelled something strange. When I went over to check it, I found that the warehouse was on fire." Baihe then shook her head and said.

After hearing that, Zixia on the side frowned slightly, looked down, and said, "That's strange. No strangers can enter the warehouse. How could it catch fire?"

"Baihe, think about it again. Have you seen any suspicious people enter the shop today?" Wen Lan then asked Baihe again.

After hearing what Wen Lan said, Baihe remembered that a woman went into the shop to see their fabrics today. But she did not like the fabrics displayed outside. Then Baihe thought of the fabrics in the warehouse and took the woman to the warehouse to see them.

Baihe frowned when she thought of this, and then said to herself, "It's impossible. She would not set fire, would she?"

"What is impossible? Who would not set fire?" Nichang asked quickly at this moment.

Baihe looked at Nichang and said, "This morning, a woman came into the store to see the fabrics, but she didn't like anyone displayed in the shop. So I thought that there were some fabrics ordered by Mr. Jia in the warehouse, so I took her to the warehouse to see them."

"It must be this woman." Zixia nodded at this moment and said with certainty.

Baihe then shook her head again.

Nichang also looked at Baihe and asked, "Baihe, think about it carefully. Do you think it's the woman you said who set the fire?"

"I don't know. According to the time, she could not set fire. At that time, I walked out of the warehouse with the woman. After the woman left, the warehouse caught fire." Baihe then recalled.

Nichang took Baihe's hand at this moment and then asked, "Think about it again. Did the woman do anything strange? Or did you go out and the woman stayed in the warehouse alone?"

Baihe was about to shake her head when she suddenly remembered that a guest came to the shop at that time. Ruoling and Heyan were both busy at that time, so she was called out by Accountant Li. But she soon returned to the warehouse.

Seeing the subtle changes in Baihe's expression, Nichang asked quickly, "Baihe, what do you think of?"
