Chu Lian finally understood that the two of them had been misunderstood by Eldest Sister-in-law and Senior Servant Liu. She had just slept in the carriage and was in a hurry to get off, so she didn't care about her image. Then He Sanlang jumped out of the carriage like that, so it would be strange if they didn't misunderstand.

She sneaked a glance at He Changdi and saw his dark expression. Chu Lian shrunk her neck. She really didn't do it on purpose this time and hoped that He Sanlang could forgive her.

The couple was personally sent back to the courtyard by Senior Servant Liu. Before she left, Senior Servant Liu didn't forget to remind He Changdi in a low voice, "I know you are newlyweds, but Third Young Mistress is still young. Third Young Master must control himself."

He Changdi, who had changed his clothes, didn't care about this matter anymore, but after being reminded by Senior Servant Liu, he immediately became angry.

After Senior Servant Liu left, He Sanlang glared at Chu Lian and went to the study.

After He Sanlang left, Chu Lian wailed in annoyance and sat on the low couch in front of the window.

Xiyan covered her mouth and snickered. Senior Servant Gui already knew what happened. She walked to Chu Lian's side and handed her a cup of warm water. After coughing, she asked Chu Lian softly, "Third Young Mistress, did you and Third Young Master …"

Before she finished speaking, Chu Lian helplessly looked up at Senior Servant Gui and had no choice but to tell her what happened in the carriage.

Xiyan finally understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chu Lian gloomily propped her arms up and looked at the late spring scenery in the courtyard, letting Senior Servant Gui and Xiyan laugh.

So there was such a big mistake. No wonder Third Young Master's face was so ugly. Gui Momo thought to herself.

Senior Servant Gui was used to serving Chu Lian and knew that she didn't like people laughing at her. She held back her laughter and asked Chu Lian, "What does Third Young Mistress want to eat? This old servant will personally go to the main kitchen to see if there's anything Third Young Mistress likes to eat."

Chu Lian was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Senior Servant Gui say something about going to the main kitchen. Then she remembered that in the original work, the kitchen of Duke Jing 'an's residence caught fire today and Eldest Sister-in-law, Madam Zou, was injured near the kitchen.

Chu Lian thought about it and quickly got up. "Senior Servant Gui, I haven't seen what the main kitchen looks like. I'll go with you!"

Granny Gui was a little hesitant. "Third Young Mistress, you've just returned, so you should rest!"

When Chu Lian saw that Gui Momo didn't want to agree, she quickly acted coquettishly and shook her arm. Gui Momo couldn't stand it the most and could only shake her head in surrender, "Alright, go, go. Xiyan will also follow.

In a while, Third Madam will take a stroll in the garden outside the kitchen. It's almost time for dinner, and the main kitchen is full of servants, so you shouldn't go in. "

Chu Lian nodded and agreed. Then, she went to the main kitchen in Duke Jing 'an's estate with Granny Gui and Xiyan.

The main kitchen was on the west side of Count Jing 'an's estate. It was located in the second section of the estate.

It would take about a quarter of an hour to get there. Chu Lian was a little anxious, so she quickened her pace. Only when she got close to the main kitchen and didn't see the billowing smoke did she heave a sigh of relief.

Gui Momo found it strange that the Third Young Mistress seemed absent-minded, but when she saw that Chu Lian's emotions had stabilized, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Third Young Mistress, wait here in the small garden. This old servant will go take a look and then report to you," Gui Nanny said with a smile.

Chu Lian nodded. At the same time, she didn't forget to remind Gui Nanny, "Nanny, hurry up. It's getting late."

Gui Nanny patted Chu Lian's hand and quickly went to the main kitchen.

There were two fake mountains next to the small garden. Stone tables and stools were placed next to the fake mountains. Not far away was a small lotus pond with lush green lotus leaves. There were also some water lilies growing at the side. Right now, two or three white water lilies had already bloomed, looking very fresh and beautiful.

Xiyan helped Chu Lian sit down on the stone bench. "Third Young Mistress, those white water lilies are really pretty."

Chu Lian wasn't in the mood to look at the water lilies. She just kept looking at the path leading to the main kitchen to see if Madam Zou was there.

As expected, Chu Lian didn't let her down. Who else could it be other than Madam Zou who was hurrying over from behind a crabapple tree?

Xiyan was also puzzled. "Third Young Mistress, Eldest Young Mistress seems to be in a hurry to go to the main kitchen as well."

Chu Lian hurriedly walked over. "Eldest Sister-in-law, Eldest Sister-in-law!"

Madam Zou paused with a senior maidservant and looked over. "Why is Sister-in-law here?"

Chu Lian could only lower her head and pretend to be embarrassed. "I'm here to see what's for dinner."

Madam Zou laughed when she heard this. "Although you're already married, you're still a fifteen year old girl. It's normal for you to be a little greedy. In the future, just tell Eldest Sister-in-law what you like to eat. Eldest Sister-in-law will get the people in the main kitchen to make it for you."

Chu Lian looked towards the main kitchen. When she saw that Senior Servant Gui still hadn't come out, she hurriedly asked Xiyan to hurry her up.

"Eldest Sister-in-law was in a hurry just now. Are you going to the main kitchen as well?"

Madam Zou sighed. "Mother isn't feeling well today. She can't even get out of bed in the afternoon. I'm here to bring her medicine!"

Chu Lian frowned. Countess Jing 'an's condition had worsened today. Why hadn't these books mentioned anything about it? Forget it for now. Countess Jing' an still had a few years to live and wouldn't die anytime soon. Right now, the most important thing was to stop Madam Zou from going to the main kitchen.

When she saw that Madam Zou was about to leave, Chu Lian hurriedly pulled on her sleeve. "Eldest Sister-in-law, how is Mother?

What are her symptoms today?

Should we call for an imperial physician? "

Although Madam Zou was anxious, she couldn't just ignore her third sister-in-law when she saw the worry on her face. She could only pause for a moment to explain things to Chu Lian.

When Chu Lian saw that Xiyan and Senior Servant Gui had come out of the main kitchen together, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the main kitchen. Soon after, the main kitchen caught fire.

Although Chu Lian knew that something would happen in the main kitchen, she didn't know that it would be like this. For a moment, she was stunned and couldn't move.

Madam Zou was shocked. She hurriedly ordered the head maidservant beside her to go to the front courtyard and call for people to put out the fire. She was also glad that she had chatted with her third sister-in-law for a while and hadn't gone into the main kitchen.

She turned around and saw that Chu Lian's eyes were frozen. Her heart ached a little. She was young and only a little gluttonous. She must have been frightened by something like this when she came to the main kitchen.

Madam Zou comforted her softly, "Third Sister-in-law?

Don't be afraid. I've already called for a water hose to put out the fire. Those servants will definitely be fine. It's dangerous here. You should quickly return to your own courtyard. "

After she finished speaking, she said to Senior Servant Gui and Xiyan, "What are you two still standing there for? Quickly send your grandmother back to her courtyard to rest."

Only then did Chu Lian react. She said to Madam Zou, "Eldest Sister-in-law, I'm fine. You stay here and be careful. I'll head back first."

Chu Lian had just walked out from behind the fake mountain when she bumped into He Changdi, who was rushing over from the rear courtyard. When He Changdi saw her hesitant expression, his heart skipped a beat. He first ordered Laiyue Qu to bring some people to hurry and save her. Then, he remembered that Eldest Sister-in-law had been injured in the kitchen fire. He Sanlang hurried over to Qingyu Tang.
