While she was pondering, Shen Xin and wife and Shen Qiu had already walked to the front of Old Shen Furen's banquet. Seeing that the guests did not make a sound and only stared at them with a strange expression, Luo Xue Yan frowned and sensitively felt that something was wrong but she did not know what was wrong.
It was still Shen Qiu who looked at the table and then seriously and carefully looked around before asking in puzzlement, "Yi, ZuMu, why do I not see Younger Sister at this table?"
With that said, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan also noticed. Shen Yue and Shen Qing were there and even the Shu daughter of the First household, Shen Dong Ling, was also there but among the few young ladies, Shen Miao's figure was not seen. Shen Xin's smile paused before he asked, "Mother, where did Jiao Jiao go?"
Old Shen Furen was at a loss for words. How could she say? Ren Wan Yun kept saying to call for the guards but her actions were slow and it was obvious that she did not put the matter in her heart. They were even sitting on this seat and did not move.
"Great General Shen!" It was Feng An Ning who suddenly stood up and said loudly, "You came back at the right time. Just now the ancestral hall caught fire and Fifth Shen Young Lady is currently trapped in the fire!"
Her words deliberately made one feel indignant but in fact it was to help Shen Miao vent her anger. Feng An Ning was favoured in the Feng family and not to mention the situation today, even if she fell in the residence, everyone would come and show concern for her well-being. Now seeing that Shen Miao was in danger but everyone in the Shen residence did not panic, her heart sympathized with Shen Miao. Since Shen Xin came back at such a coincidental time, one would not complain to Shen Xin.
When the words were said, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were surprised for a moment. The ancestral hall caught fire and Shen Miao was trapped in the fire. Everything was fine so why would Shen Miao go to the ancestral hall? More importantly, why was it that when Shen Miao was in danger, these Shen family's relatives could still drink and have fun at the banquet?
Ren Wan Yun recovered to her senses and quickly explained, "Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao, I was just about to go look for the guards and you all just came …"
She had not finished speaking when Shen Xin brushed past her without a word and glanced at Ren Wan Yun which made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. It was too scary and too vicious.
Luo Xue Yan and Shen Qiu also regained their senses and rushed towards the ancestral hall without saying a word.
In the ancestral hall, the fire was getting fiercer and fiercer, almost turning into a huge fireball. In it, Shen Miao used a wet handkerchief that she had prepared in advance to cover her mouth and nose, but Xie Jing Xing frowned as he looked at her. Even in the suffocating smoke, he looked very relaxed and did not have a trace of embarrassment. He said to Shen Miao, "If you do not go out, you will really die here."
"If you don't go out now, you can only be buried with me." Shen Miao retorted.
"Eloquent." Xie Jing Xing smiled without a care, "What are you waiting for?"
Before he could finish, he heard an angry roar from outside, "Jiaojiao!"
Xie Jing Xing suddenly rushed to the side of the window and through the small empty space in the middle of the flames, he could see clearly that the people outside were not others but Shen Xin, wife and wife and Shen Qiu.
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan previously thought that the water was on fire but did not think that the fire would be so fierce and instantly their eyes were about to crack. There was a group of guards outside the ancestral hall but no one went in to save and only found some buckets to splash water to put out the fire. However this was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water. If they were to rush in, how would Shen Miao still have her life?
Shen Qiu gritted his teeth, "I will go and save Younger Sister!" Finishing, he wanted to rush in but before he could even take two steps, the scale outside fell in front of him with a 'pa' sound and the burning fire made crackling sounds, blocking the way forward.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Younger Sister!"
In the room, Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "So your little name is Jiaojiao but it does not match the person at all."
