"Ancestor..." Su Baixi wanted to say something, but the eldest lady grabbed her clothes from behind in time and signaled her not to speak at the moment.
She was thinking in her mind, if Su Yueming was not burned to death, was it because she had escaped with her life or had she already seen through something?
Su Baixi was extremely unwilling. What kind of fate did Su Yueming have to escape death again and again?
The servants were still scooping water from the pool to extinguish the fire, but the fire did not calm down at all and kept burning.
"Wait a minute!" When everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Su Yueming suddenly called out to a slave who was passing by in a hurry carrying water.
"Miss Third?" The servant stopped and bent towards Su Yueming.
"Give me your water." Su Yueming ordered him.
At this time, the faces of the eldest lady and Su Baixi changed quietly. The fists in the eldest lady's sleeves were clenched and her fingers were pinched into the palms of her hands.
Su Baixi whispered, "Mother..."
"Third girl, what do you want water for? You can't put out such a big fire." Seeing her asking for water, the old lady thought she wanted to join in putting out the fire, so she stopped her.
Su Yueming didn't say anything. He raised his hand and poured the basin of water on the ground. Then he asked Lu Rong to take a stick, light it with fire and bring it over.
Su Yueming held the fire stick in his hand and said to everyone, "Everyone, please step back."
Everyone looked at her in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do, but they still obeyed the order and took a step back.
"Third girl, what are you going to do?" The old lady had just recovered from the fright, and her heart was still beating very fast now.
"Grandma, you will know soon. Please be patient."
With that said, Su Yueming waited for everyone to retreat to a safe distance, then threw the fire stick in his hand onto the puddle of water with a bang——
I saw that not only was the fire stick not extinguished by the water on the ground, but with a loud bang, the entire puddle of water started to burn, and the flames spread very high and very quickly.
Everyone was immediately shocked, what is going on?
When the old lady saw it, she said, "Why...why is this water boiling?"
Su Yueming took the handkerchief handed over by Lu Rong, wiped her hands and said, "Grandma, because this is not ordinary water."
"What's wrong with this water?" Su Buqing's face darkened. He suddenly smelled something unusual, exuding an aura of conspiracy. Someone was causing trouble in the house again.
"Yes, Miss Third, isn't this water the water in the pond of our Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ba Yiniang's voice is still innocent and romantic, if this is what pleases Su Buqing.
Su Yueming smiled, then asked for a basin of water from the passing servant, brought it to the eighth aunt, and said -
"Bayi Niang, I see your hands are dirty too. Why don't you wash them? Such beautiful and young hands should be taken good care of."
Ba Yiniang lowered her head and took a look. Sure enough, there was a black lump on the back of her hand. It was probably caused by the fire being too strong and the dirt blown in.
"Then thank you Miss Third. I'm not polite." The eighth aunt always treasures her hands the most, and she can't bear to get them dirty, so she immediately puts her fingers as white as blood into the water and washes them carefully.
Everyone didn't understand what kind of medicine Su Yueming was selling in the gourd, and they watched Ba Yiniang wash her hands without blinking.
"Ah!" Suddenly, the eighth aunt screamed, raised her hands and said, "Old madam, sir, this water... there is oil in this water. Look, my hands are sticky and filled with oil.
