It was indeed a blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise. Tian Yu Qiao had just helped bury Master Hui Yuan, and when she returned home, she found that her small thatched cottage had turned into ashes, and it was the kind that didn't even have a single piece of dregs left.

After she had recovered, she returned to the old house to examine it.

In the direction of the kitchen, the broken pot had been burnt black, and the pot of meat oil had disappeared without a trace. If there really was a fire, then the oil can should have been burnt out as well. How could it have disappeared?

When he entered the hall, he saw that Mrs. Wang's wedding box had already been burnt black. However, that box was still considered intact, so he guessed that the things inside should also be fine.

However, when Tian Yuqiao led Tian Yutang to pry open the box, she was immediately shocked. The cloth in the box along with the pastries that Yutang had been reluctant to eat had all vanished.

If it was burned down, there should be ashes, right? Now, it was obvious that her family had been robbed. The person who had come to rob him was obviously someone from the old residence.

Tian Yuqiao's heart was filled with anger. She really wanted to rush into the upper room and argue with Lady Li. But then he thought, now that he had no proof, even if it really got out of hand, he wouldn't be in the right.

”Yutang, when you got home today, did you see anyone come to our house?” Tian Yuqiao asked solemnly.

Tian Yutang was stunned for a moment. His sister only called him by his name when she asked that serious question. Now, it seemed that she was really worried.

”Sis, when I came back, I saw that our house was still smoking. Milkman, Eldest Uncle, Aunt and the others seemed to have come to help with the fire.” Tian Yuqiao sniffled.

”Oh? Are you sure they're here to help with the fire, not to pick up the stuff? ” Tian Yuqiao raised her eyebrows.

”When I came back, I saw them carrying a basin. Just as I wanted to chase up to them, my aunt pushed me out. She said that they had worked hard to help put out the fire, and that the basin had been used to carry water to put out the fire. ”She also told me to go find you and your mother as soon as possible. Grandma Ju Hua didn't tell me to look for them. After that, Aunt Li told me to wait for you at her house.”

Tian Yutang felt a bit wronged as it was his fault. If he had come back earlier, his home might not have been set on fire. If he had returned home earlier, he might not have let them steal his family's food and things.

Tian Yuqiao already knew what was going on in his heart. He felt very ashamed of the way the people from his side of the house did things like this.

She circled the outside of her hut twice more, and found several pieces of bird's egg skin under the back wall.

Tian Yutang was also following behind her. When they saw the burnt egg skin, they immediately realized something and said, ”Sis, I remember now. Today, when I was digging wild vegetables, I saw Erlang and Silang. The two of them just happened to descend from a big tree.

”Well, it must have been the two of them who were roasting the eggs in the back of our house, and then they'd set our hut on fire. This time, we definitely cannot let this matter go so easily. ” Tian Yuqiao then turned around and left the yard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, he coincidentally bumped into the Jiang Clan. The Jiang family smiled and said to Tian Yuqiao, ”Qiao'er, this day is very dry. Your house is made of inflammable grass. Go back and advise your mother not to get angry.”
