Chapter 595 Sudden encounter with fire
Shen Fugui's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Yao Shu's increasingly serious face, she also realized that things were gradually getting complicated.
Princess Chang'an has always been the treasure of the emperor, how could he be willing to let her go to the Western Regions. What's more, for a civil servant like Shen Fugui, who has no background and is only a seventh-rank official, it is impossible to let him go due to both emotion and reason.
The only possibility is that someone is behind it.
The princess is on a mission to the Western Regions, and if she makes any mistakes, she will be blamed directly on her head.
Shen Fugui's heart tightened and he said in a low voice: "Mom, don't we have to leave as soon as possible? This trip is extremely dangerous. Why don't you and dad stay in the capital so that you can be safe if something happens?"
"Don't worry, since we are on an envoy to the Western Regions, nothing will happen to Jiutian Restaurant. With so many pairs of eyes watching, if anyone dares to cause trouble at this juncture, even the people will not let them go."
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. After hearing Yao Shu's words, the rest of the Shen family began to think about how to make a decision.
The reason why they don't want to go to the Western Region is because it is extremely dangerous.
They have become accustomed to staying in a real place, and their wanderings have created fear in their hearts, so much so that they dare not take a step forward now.
Shen Bei couldn't sleep at night, so he walked to the courtyard to enjoy the breeze, and found that Shen Jian'an and Shen He were also not resting.
"Second brother, fourth brother, can't you guys sleep either?"
Shen He sighed silently: "Now, my mother-in-law wants us all to go to the Western Region together, but this journey is extremely dangerous, and your second sister-in-law has just given birth to a child, so nothing can happen to her. "
"Second brother, do you want to stay in the capital?" Shen Bei frowned, "That's fine, after all, the restaurant and the Shen family have to leave one person here to take charge of the overall situation."
"What you said is indeed true. This is why I feel so uneasy. I don't know if I can really take on the big responsibility. If I don't protect the Shen family and the restaurant, it will cause trouble for you." After saying that, Shen He suddenly remembered What? He turned around and looked at Shen Jian'an beside him.
"Fourth brother, why are you so melancholy here?"
Shen Jianan scratched his head: "I am not going to the Western Regions because of it, but because of Qing'er. She also wants to go to the Western Regions together, but I am worried about her safety."
"Are you really worried about her safety? Or do you just don't know how to pursue her?" Shen He joked.
"That's not what I meant, I just did it because of her..." Shen Jian'an was halfway through speaking. Seeing the other two people looking at him, he felt a little shy for a moment, and immediately said, "I don't understand even if I tell you, I can only Just take it one step at a time."
Shen He and Shen Bei looked at each other. As people who had experienced this, they naturally understood his confusion at this moment.
"Mom won't force us to do anything, you don't have to worry." Shen Bei understood Yao Shu's temperament, patted Shen He, and prepared to go back to sleep.
Just after taking two steps, I suddenly felt that there was a heavy fog.
He turned his head and looked at them in surprise: "Why is it still foggy in the middle of the night?"
"What's the fog? There's a fire!" Shen He slapped his forehead and immediately ran to the backyard.
At this time, all the female relatives had run out, holding their children and looking at the raging fire with frightened faces.
"What's going on?" Shen He quickly took off his coat and covered Qiao and the child.
"I don't know why, but it suddenly caught fire."
Under the auspices of Yao Shu, the fire was finally put out.
She couldn't help but sigh when she saw the Shen family's faces covered with black dirt.
"I didn't expect them to start so quickly."
Hearing this, Shen Nanshan came over and asked doubtfully: "Old lady, do you know who did it?"
"As soon as I guessed it, they were trying to force us to go to the Western Region earlier." Yao Shu sighed deeply.
The fire this time did not endanger the Shen family. It only lit a fire outside the hospital, which was considered merciful.
Although it didn't cause much damage this time, I don't know what it will be like next time.
Yao Shu was extremely anxious, she simply wiped her face and said seriously: "In this case, let's set off early."
The housekeeper carefully checked, confirmed that there was no loss, and reported to Yao Shu truthfully.
Yao Shu nodded slightly, and then said: "Go ahead and prepare to leave early."
The butler agreed, then thought of something and came back: "The restaurant's business has been getting better and better recently. If all of you go to the Western Regions at this moment, I'm afraid the restaurant's business will be neglected."
"This is indeed a problem. It seems that the Shen family still needs to keep one person."
Hearing this, Shen He's eyes lit up and he stepped forward cautiously.
"Mom, I heard that we are leaving someone here. Now you know the situation of our family. In addition, my wife is indeed physically inconvenient and the child is small. She needs someone to take care of her at home." After Shen He finished speaking, his face was full of restraint. He added, "It's not that I don't want to go to the Western Regions with everyone, it's just that I really can't worry about my wife and children at home."
Yao Shu knew that he was a person who valued love and justice, and since Mrs. Qiao finally gave birth to a son, she would definitely be worried.
Yao Shu nodded understandingly: "Since you don't want to go, then take good care of everything at home and don't make any mistakes. This task is also very important, so don't delay it."
"Since mother trusts me so much, I will definitely take good care of the family." Shen He was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing that the fire was almost out, Yao Shu immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare for subsequent repairs.
Finally, she went to find Wang Yuanyang.
Although Shen He has been helping to take care of the restaurant these days, it is inevitable that there will be some oversights.
"Mrs. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I suddenly came here today. Could it be that I have something important to ask you?" As soon as he walked in, Wang Yuanyang knew the purpose of Yao Shu's visit and said with a chuckle.
Seeing her as arrogant as ever, Yao Shu felt a lot more at ease: "President Wang must have understood my purpose when I came here today. In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that after a while, most of us in the Shen family We will all go to the Western Region together, and I would like you to take care of the restaurant affairs."
"It's natural. There have been rumors these days that your Shen family is going to the Western Regions together. I felt a little suspicious at the time. Yesterday I heard that your Shen family was suddenly involved in a fire. I wonder how it is being handled now."
Yao Shu was a little surprised. She didn't expect the news about Wang Yuanyang to come out so quickly.
"President Wang already knows what happened yesterday?"
