When Xiao Zhengyang and his wife returned to the courtyard, they saw that the courtyard was filled with people. They were confused. Shouldn't the villagers have gone back to rest? Why were they gathered in their courtyard instead?
Before they entered the courtyard, they heard a familiar voice say loudly, "I've already told you. I didn't set the fire. Why don't you believe me? Xiao Lingyu, you have no right to hold me. I want to go home now. Tell them to let me go."
Mother Xiao understood everything immediately. They had captured the culprit.
She immediately ran into the courtyard angrily and stopped in front of Zhang Xiaolan. She pointed at Zhang Xiaolan and asked, "Well done, Zhang Xiaolan. So, you were the one who set the fire tonight! We have no grudges against you. Why did you do this?"
Zhang Xiaolan still stubbornly refused to admit anything.
