Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: The Mysterious Person Who Sent Apricot Flowers (6)

“Grandma, just tell the servant that it seemed like you saw Cao Shiyu setting fire to Qingmu Garden. When the servants hear about this, they will definitely inform the Ye Family. Once they investigate, Cao Shiyu won’t suspect you…” Su Hongxing patiently explained once more.

Old Lady Jiang finally understood and ran back to the living room. Just then, a servant on night duty was there; she recounted the encounter with Cao Shiyu and how she had seen Cao Shiyu starting a fire.

The servant panicked upon hearing this.

With Qingmu Garden being such a large private estate, if it really caught on fire, there were so many people there. What would happen then?

The servant was close to Mu Ge and reported the matter to him. Upon hearing the seriousness of the matter, Mu Ge went to find Ye Lao.

By the time Ye Lao led a group of the Ye Family over to the Apricot Forest area, they saw that Cao Shiyu was indeed committing arson.

Moreover, the Apricot Forest had already caught fire, and the flames were not small, with a great potential to spread.

“Cao Shiyu, have you gone mad?! You actually set a fire while everyone was asleep. What on earth is your motive?!” Ye Lao rushed over with his cane, heartbroken upon seeing this scene.

Cao Shiyu was a bit dazed when she saw Ye Lao lead a group of the Ye Family members out. Blinded by jealousy, she was only intent on burning down the Apricot Forest and hadn’t considered that the fire might lead to a greater disaster, potentially destroying the entire Qingmu Garden.

She desperately wanted to explain, but Ye Lao was already urgently ordering people to bring water to put out the fire. If they had been any later, and the fire spread, it could have destroyed the entire garden.

Upon seeing that her goal was achieved, Old Lady Jiang immediately reported the news to Su Hongxing.

For the first time, Su Hongxing felt that Old Lady Jiang was extremely useful. If it had not been for Old Lady Jiang’s tip-off, the Apricot Forest would have been completely burnt down by Cao Shiyu, and Qingmu Garden might have gone up in flames as well.

“Grandma, you must be tired, have a good rest. Please help me take extra care of the children,” she said.

Old Lady Jiang replied, “The child is growing up so well. Don’t worry; as long as I’m here, that wench Cao Shiyu won’t even think about harming my precious grandchild.”

Su Hongxing then felt at ease and hung up the phone. She sat stunned for a moment before getting up and walking to the window. In the silent depths of the night, she was very anxious. She kept telling herself to remain convinced that Ye Qilan was still alive—only with this faith could she have the courage to go on. Yet in reality, she had watched Ye Qilan stop breathing right before her eyes.

So many others had confirmed it as well. Relying solely on Xiaohe stealing away Ye Qilan’s body and her own conviction, how could she possibly bring Ye Qilan back to life?

Standing by the window for a while, she realized the wind was strong and was about to close it when she saw a car parked downstairs with someone seemingly leaning on the door smoking. It was too far to see clearly. After taking a closer look, she closed the window.

On the other hand, at Qingmu Garden.

With everyone’s combined efforts, the fire was finally extinguished. Ye Lao looked at Cao Shiyu and ordered coldly, “Cao Shiyu, do you realize that what you did tonight is a crime? Who gave you the audacity to actually dare to burn down Qingmu Garden?”

“Grandfather, it’s not like that. I only wanted to burn the Apricot Forest. When I saw the Apricot Forest, I was reminded of the pain Su Hongxing brought me. I was momentarily blinded by folly. I won’t dare do it again. Please forgive me this once, Grandfather,” Cao Shiyu said, falling to her knees in front of Ye Lao: “Grandfather, I love fourth brother too much. I want to marry him. Please grant my wish. Even if I have to marry his spiritual tablet, I am willing!”
