Qin Sheng rushed back to the Qin family's old house. When she arrived, she saw a group of firemen putting out the fire in the side building. Great plumes of black smoke rose into the sky, as if a flock of crows had just taken flight.
She ran to the side building and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by a group of people.
Li Ang grabbed Qin Sheng's arm. "Are you crazy! The fire hasn't been completely extinguished. It's too dangerous there!"
"But my father's things!" Qin Sheng was so anxious that she shook Li Ang's hand off.
Li Ang held onto the woman and refused to let go. "Wait a moment, I'll think of a way. You come with me!"
Qin Sheng looked at Li Ang in surprise and pushed his wheelchair into the main building.
"What do you want to do?" she asked in a low voice.
"I'll tell you if you send me to my room," Li Ang answered.
Qin Sheng sent Li Ang back to his room and watched him stand up from the wheelchair.
Her eyes widened in surprise. "Your leg is healed?"
"Well, I could stand up a long time ago, but I haven't fully recovered yet. Don't tell anyone about this!" Li Ang instructed Qin Sheng.
"Okay, but what do you want to do?" Qin Sheng asked.
"Didn't you see that those people outside were staring at you? Even if you rush in, you might not be able to find anything. I'll go. You wait for me here.
"I've observed the structure of the villa. I climbed out of the attic on the top floor, and I climbed to a room from the roof. Then I entered through the window. No one knows that I went in," Li Ang said.
"But it's too dangerous for you!" Qin Sheng said.
"As long as no one knows that I went in, I'll be safe. You just guard the door for me and don't let outsiders in. Tell me, which room was your father's room?" Li Ang asked.
His room is on the second floor, the one that has ivy all over the windows," Qin Sheng said. Gong Mochen had told her when she was young that the room covered in ivy was her father's room.
Li Ang nodded and strode out of the room. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he climbed up the stairs and went straight to the attic on the fourth floor.
Qin Sheng watched as the man disappeared, and her heart was relieved. She closed Li Ang's door and locked herself in the room.
After a while, she heard someone knocking on the door. If she didn't open the door, they might think that Li Ang had gone missing...
She opened the door and saw Yin Yin standing outside.
"Yin Yin, what's the matter?" she asked.
Yin Yin pushed the door open and was about to enter. Since she couldn't speak, she didn't answer Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng reached out to stop Yin Yin. "You can't go in. If you want to see Li Ang, I'll go and tell him. He will look for you in a while!"
A sharp glint flashed across Yin Yin's eyes. She pushed Qin Sheng away and was about to barge into the room.
"No! You can't go in!" Qin Sheng held onto Yin Yin's hand and refused to let go.
Yin Yin raised her hand to push away Qin Sheng and kicked Qin Sheng's leg.
Qin Sheng endured the pain and said, "Yin Yin, listen to me. It's not that I don't want you to go in, it's just that it's not convenient for you to go in now. Li Ang is... is taking a shower!"
That was all she could say. She was afraid that Yin Yin would misunderstand her intentions.
However, Yin Yin acted as if she didn't hear it and pinched the inside of Qin Sheng's arm.
"Yin Yin, what are you doing?" Qin Sheng raised her hand to push Yin Yin away.
Yin Yin took a few steps back and suddenly fell on the handrail of the stairs in the corridor.
The loud noise alarmed the servants in the house.
"What happened?" Sister Yu, the head maid, ran upstairs with a few maids.
Qin Sheng looked at her hand in surprise. She pushed Yin Yin, but she didn't use too much strength!
How did Yin Yin hit the handrail?
A few maids ran over to help Yin Yin up, and they saw blood flowing from her head.
"Yin Yin is bleeding!" a maid shouted.
Yin Yin covered her head and cried loudly. Her other hand was pointing at Qin Sheng.
Sister Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Even if Yin Yin is a servant and a mute, Miss Qin shouldn't treat a servant like this!"
Sister Yu had always been unforgiving, especially towards Qin Sheng.
"I only pushed her a little. I didn't expect it to be so heavy," she explained.
"Did you all hear that? Miss Qin admitted that she pushed Yin Yin. Poor mute girl. She has a mouth but can't speak! How pitiful!" Sister Yu said loudly as if she was afraid that no one could hear her.
Qin Sheng's brows narrowed. "She's injured. Quickly go to the first-aid kit to clean her wound. Why are you all standing there?"
Weren't these people going to treat Yin Yin's wound? After all, they were here to serve.
Sister Yu snorted coldly. "There's a first-aid kit in each room. Why don't you go back to the room and get it? Why do you need us to go and get it? Or do you not want to save Yin Yin?"
What did Yin Yin do to make Miss Qin so angry? Not only did she injure her, but she also wouldn't treat her wound.
"You!" Qin Sheng was so angry. When did she say that she wouldn't treat Yin Yin's wound?
"I'll go get the medicine box. You guys help Yin Yin back to her room!" she said as she turned around and walked into Li Ang's room.
Sister Yu followed Qin Sheng. "Let me help Miss Qin get it."
Qin Sheng reached out to stop Sister Yu. "No need. I can get it myself. Didn't I ask you to send Yin Yin back to her room?"
"I'm just helping Miss Qin out of kindness. Why are you acting like I'm some kind of thief? Is there something shameful in the Grand Duke's room?" Sister Yu said craftily.
Qin Sheng's brows sank. "What is in the Grand Duke's room that you servants can comment on? I don't mind telling Li Ang what you just said!"
It was clear that Sister Yu wanted to enter the room to take a look.
"Miss, you can't be like this when people show you kindness. I just want to help you carry things!" Sister Yu said unwillingly.
"You are employed to serve this family! You need to show some God d*mn respect! Who do you think you are?" Qin Sheng's eyes were filled with fire.
Sister Yu's expression changed instantly. She blinked her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly. She would never repay kindness with cursing!
"Miss Qin, if you don't want us to enter, just say so. We won't disturb master's business."
Qin Sheng's lips twitched. Was Sister Yu implying that she was having an affair with Li Ang?
"I just don't want you to enter. You're just a servant. Do I need to explain what I want to do to you?"
She was the female lead of this family now, and Sister Liang Yu shouldn't be refuting her orders!
Sister Yu was choked by Qin Sheng's words, but she had to go in to see if Li Ang was in the room because of He Fen's orders!
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with this difficult situation, He Fen's voice came from behind her, "What's going on?"
Sister Yu immediately ran over like a dog that saw its master. "Madam, I don't know what Miss Qin and Grand Duke Li Ang are doing in the room. Yin Yin wanted to enter the room, but Miss Qin hurt her head. I wanted to go into the room to help get a first aid kit, but I was scolded by Miss Qin!"
He Fen snorted coldly. "Don't make wild guesses. What can happen in broad daylight? I don't believe that Qin Sheng will stop me from going in!
"Qin Sheng, you and I can go in. We are not afraid of shadows. Let them see what you and the Duke are doing in the room."
Qin Sheng gritted her teeth, her gums throbbing. She was supposed to be the boss of this family now! She shouldn't be taking orders, she should be giving them!
