With a sudden turn, he smashed everything in the room to the ground, creating a trendous noise while letting out a roar himself.
"A family division, such a fine division of family! Do you even value anymore? Are you all not planning to return to the Capital City?"
Liu Family’s temper wasn’t small either: "Return to the Capital City, return to the Capital City, you’ve been saying this for so long, Nanfeng, even now you’re still dreaming?"
"That Fifth Princess has long tossed you aside! Who knows, by now she might have found a new Prince Consort, besides you’re already like this, are you still hoping..."
Before she could finish her words, Qi Nanfeng suddenly grabbed a dagger, scaring Yuanxi to flee as fast as he could!
Paying no heed to Liu Family behind him.
Being a step slower, Liu Family was caught by Qi Nanfeng by her hair! She scread out in pain.
"Nanfeng, Nanfeng! I’m your mother!! Let go, do you still intend to be unfilial?!"
"I’m the mother who gave birth to you and raised you!"
She struggled violently, but upon eting Qi Nanfeng’s gaze, she felt that his eyes were so, so unfamiliar.
It seed he was no longer her own son.
She then felt a sense of terror: "My son, I’ve always thought for your sake, you mustn’t do anything foolish! I still hope to return to the Capital City with you, back to our Qi Mansion!"
But at this mont, Qi Nanfeng had already lost all reason, nothing she said reached his ears.
His mind was completely filled with the word "useless".
No one here, not a single person, looked at him with respect, and now, he was in this crippled state, all thanks to Ruan Mian!
And it was because of this mother of his, Liu Family, that Ruan Mian wanted to separate from him, willing to leave behind her widow’s place for three years and go!
"If you had been kind to Mianmian at the start, kept her steady, I would’ve had the chance to keep her in the mansion."
"She, soone so capable, as long as she was my wife, like before, I wouldn’t have fallen to this!! It’s all you, you forced her!!"
"Now she has found soone else, and ? I have nothing left!!"
He was like a mad beast, suddenly grabbing Liu Family and stabbing her hard.
The blade went in white, ca out red, the whole house was filled only with Liu Family’s tragic screams.
"How...how can you bla , it’s that bitch Ruan Mian, that bitch who doesn’t want you, she’s the one who caused us to be like this...ah..."
With several more stabs, she quickly died.
And not far off, Yuanxi saw all of this, frightened into screaming, as if severely shocked, shouting out loudly.
"Murder, murder!! Help..."
It didn’t take long for the whole village to notice the commotion, and they all ca out of their houses.
But when they arrived at the Qi Family’s dwelling, they found it already engulfed in roaring flas!!
People hurriedly called out to their friends: "Quick, fetch water quickly."
The back of the Qi Family’s dwelling was connected to a lot of timber, if it all caught fire, it might burn other houses.
Everyone worked together to fetch water and put out the fire, at this mont Ruan Mian and her group were also alard, upon inquiring, Cui Zhu told them about what happened at the Qi Family.
Mrs. Zhang turned pale upon hearing this, incredulous: "He... he actually killed his mother! Such an unfilial child, he truly will be punished by heaven."
In ancient tis, of the three great sins, being unfilial was the greatest, let alone the cri of killing one’s mother!
No one could forgive it.
Only Ruan Mian remained composed, evil people will eventually face retribution, this ending was long due for them.
However, because he’s a key character in the original story, she couldn’t act against him, now they were like mad dogs turning on each other, it was simply the natural progression of the plot.
But what she’s curious about now is, after Qi Nanfeng killed his mother and set the fire, where could he have fled to?
He is indeed a key character in the original story.
Thinking of this, while no one was watching, she touched her Jade Bracelet and summoned a few larks.
She sent them to search nearby for Qi Nanfeng’s whereabouts.
Only after arranging this did she co out from inside, but unexpectedly she inadvertently discovered a wooden box on Ruan Qing’s bed, open and filled with various items.
Curious, she walked over, and with one glance saw the scarf and gloves she once taught her to make, as well as so special skincare creams and other dicines for injuries.
And hanging on the side, an unfinished sachet with a bright "Huo" character on it.
Ruan Mian was slightly stunned, hadn’t yet reacted when Ruan Qing suddenly rushed over with a flushed face, hurriedly covering the wooden box.
"Ah... Ah-sister..."
Her gaze dodged, and for a mont, she stuttered.
Ruan Mian smiled, wanting to ease her tension, so she didn’t imdiately ask.
Instead, she mulled it over, then slowly inquired.
"Is this for General Huo?"
Ruan Qing’s cheeks flushed, too shy to speak, but confronted with Ruan Mian’s frank gaze, she couldn’t hide it.
Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to explain, Yun Xiu’s voice suddenly ca from outside.
"Miss Ruan! Miss Ruan, it’s bad! The master..."
"What’s wrong with the master?"
Ruan Mian looked over puzzled, only to see Yun Xiu pausing before handing her a letter.
"The master suddenly said he had to go to Xingjia, he went to see General Huo early this morning and left this letter in the house. It wasn’t until Assistant Minister Dong and I returned that we found this letter, it’s left for you by the master."
Ruan Mian slightly furrowed her brow; she and Xie Huai’an had only returned yesterday, his sudden departure without even a farewell, perhaps sothing urgent arose.
So she quickly opened the letter, only to find a few simple words of advice written on it.
As for why he was headed to Xingjia, he only ntioned urgent matters requiring his attention.
Seeing Ruan Mian’s tense expression, Ruan Qing and Yun Xiu were both curious: "A-sister, what did brother-in-law say in the letter? Why’s he going to Xingjia?"
"Yes, Miss Ruan, the master isn’t one to just leave like that, without even a farewell, do you think sothing’s wrong?"
Ruan Mian closed the letter, reassuring them: "He has matters he needs to handle, we shouldn’t worry."
At this mont, she couldn’t help but search her mory, but couldn’t recall this scene in the original story.
Moreover, in the original, he was never demoted, yet now he was, and he’s married to her.
It seems the original storyline has long been altered, and she can no longer find a standard to follow in her search.
She cald herself, thinking that he was going to leave anyway; sooner or later that’s the result, she should learn to accept it.
Yet the more she thought about it, the more Ruan Mian felt sothing was off.
She kept thinking of the master, of everything they experienced in Tunan City, of how he’d hold her hand from ti to ti.
It seed... more intense than she realized, just not seeing him for one day already made her yearn for him.
Ruan Mian chuckled helplessly, and went to check on Mrs. Wang to see how her orchard project was coming along.
