Sentence Her To Death

The servant heard the noise and quickly came over to ask, ""Miss Ling, are you alright?"

Mu Ling shook her head and slowly said, " I'm fine. I just accidentally broke the ornament ... That's not important, the basement seems to be on fire!"

The servant's expression changed and she rushed to the basement. Thick smoke could be seen at the top of the stairs.

"Fire! Someone come quickly!" The servant shouted.

After a while, the firefighters arrived. Fortunately, the fire wasn't too serious and didn't spread to the other rooms. The fire was under control in a few minutes, but the room on fire was no longer inhabitable.

Mu Xin had also been rescued from her room by the servants. Although she wasn't injured, she was still quite frightened. Her face was blackened by the smoke, and her voice was a little hoarse. She threw herself into Qiu Liqin's arms and accused Mu Ling, " mom, she was the one who locked me in the room and set fire to me." She sobbed.

Everyone in the Mu family was gathered in the living room, including the servants.

Mu Xin pointed at Mu Ling and cried,"mother, she's going to burn me to death!" Call the police, arrest her, put her in jail, and give her the death penalty!"

Everyone looked at Mu Ling.

Qiu Liqin knew that her younger daughter must have been frightened, so she patted her back and comforted her, "Xin, this is no joke."

Mu Xin burst into tears and said, " I'm not joking. She was the one who started the fire. She even locked me in the room. Wuwuwu ..."

"But, why did she lock you up?" Qiu Liqin asked.

"Go and ask her!" Mu Xin replied.

Qiu Liqin looked at Mu Ling and asked with a dark face, "Ling, is what Xin said true?"

Mu Ling shook her head innocently, "Auntie, I didn't set a fire! Little sister Ah Xin, I know you don't like me, but this is a matter of life and death. You can't slander me!"

"You're the one who started the fire! You're the murderer!" Mu Xin's eyes were red as she shouted at Mu Ling.

"Little sister Xin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want," Mu Ling said calmly.

"You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Call the police, I'll get the police to arrest you!" After saying that, Mu Xin ran to the landline and picked up the phone to call the police.

Qiu Liqin hurriedly went over to stop her.

"Mother?" Mu Xin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Let's figure out the situation first," Qiu Liqin said.

Mu Xin was speechless.

Mu Wan, who was wearing a nightgown, interrupted, "Mom, the fire started in her room, and Ah Xin is still locked inside. Isn't this Mu Ling's doing? In my opinion, we should call the police first, or it'll be terrible if a murderer appears in our house!"

"Why would Xiao Ling do such a thing? Big sister, we haven't figured it out yet ..." Mu Shi said.

Mu Wan rolled her eyes at Mu Shi, ""Who are you on your side? Why are you all speaking up for the little bastard?"

Mu Shi, "I ..."

"Even if you want to curry favor, you should find someone with power, right? What can you get from currying favor with a little bastard?" Mu Wan scolded Mu Shi and glared at Mu Ling. She hated Mu Ling's act of pretending to be innocent, it made her feel uncomfortable! She didn't know what master Qing saw in her!

Mu Shi did not dare to say another word after her eldest sister's words, and she lowered her head in silence.

Qiu Liqin let out a long breath, then grabbed Mu Ling's arm. She couldn't keep up the kind facade she had been putting on for the past few days, so she asked fiercely, ""Little Ling, let me ask you, how did ah Xin offend you? She is just a child! No matter how big of a mistake she made, you can't take her life! If you didn't find her in time, she would have been burned to death by you!"

If Ah Xin was really burned to death by Mu Ling, she would not let Mu Ling walk out of the Mu family alive!

Mu Ling's arm was in pain from Qiu Liqin's pull. She lowered her eyes and said with a choked voice, "Aunty, I-I really didn't start the fire ... Besides, I don't know why sister ah Xin would appear in my room. I was in the living room when the fire started. Aunty Wan can be my witness."

The helper, mother Wan, said, " that's true, Madam. Miss Ling was in the living room at the time. She was the first one to discover the fire in the basement. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to rescue Miss Xin so quickly."

Qiu Liqin narrowed her eyes and said suspiciously, ""What are you doing in the living room so late at night?"

Mu Ling looked at the ice cream that had melted into water on the coffee table and said, " I received a call from Mr. Zuo. He asked me to go out for a while. Mr. Zuo knew that I like ice cream, so he specially brought some for me. I ate one in the living room."

"Mr. Zuo?" Qiu Liqin was shocked.
