In the backyard, Chen Hengchang was awakened by the commotion and walked out of the bedroom with a somber expression, asking coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Prince, the front yard is on fire!" a trembling eunuch reported.
Chen Hengchang had already seen the flames rising in the front yard.
"On fire? A fire on a rainy day?"
Chen Hengchang felt as if he was being fooled.
It's not impossible for a fire to start on a rainy day, but it shouldn't be burning this fiercely.
This fire was likely to burn down the entire front yard of Prince Qing Mansion.
"Someone, hurry and invite all the officials!"
He felt a sense of foreboding, but he couldn't pinpoint its source.
The eunuchs immediately went out to call for help.
Meanwhile, the fire in the front yard continued to burn.
"Prince, it's terrible, the fire is spreading to the backyard!" someone came rushing to report.
Chen Hengchang had already seen it, and his face was as dark as a stormy cloud.
