"Then...how should we break it?"
The master said, "Send soone to search in the southeast of the city. Also, think about who in the residence might clash with the young master. Keep him away from the young master to prevent his fortune from being affected."
Mrs. Qin thought about it, and realized there was no one in the residence who would clash with him, except...his father, who had never cared about him.
At this thought, her expression darkened.
She then found the Abbot and asked for a certain dicine.
In fact, this Abbot of the Thunder God Temple had previously received favors from her maternal family.
The Abbot secretly did so unsavory things, which Mrs. Qin knew all too well. He had even worked for her biological father a long ti ago.
This ti, she asked the Abbot for a dicine, which was extrely poisonous.
Once ingested, within a quarter of an hour, the person would foam at the mouth and die.
She and Qin Fu had long lost their emotional connection. She endured everything about Qin Fu only for Shen’er’s future, wanting solely to play the role of the lady of high status.
But now, Qin Fu had beco a beast affecting her son.
He didn’t care about his son or himself, so what was the use of keeping him around!! Moreover, without her, Qin Fu wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
Those who forget their roots deserve to walk a path of no return, without any dicine for regret.
"Thank you, Abbot."
She clenched the dicine tightly and headed back ho.
The matron beside her looked tense, thinking of the dicine’s effects and could not help but remind her.
"Madam, are we really going through with this? If...if the master finds out, I’m afraid..."
"If you don’t say, and I don’t say, who will know?"
"Matron, haven’t all my years of hardship been enough? Look at him, he lives so freely!
Now Shen’er is missing, and he doesn’t care at all, just indulging in romantic affairs with other lowly won. Tomorrow for his trivial birthday, he demands a grand banquet, making arrange things for him half a month in advance. What nonsense is this?"
"I tolerated it before, but now Shen’er is in such a situation, I can’t bear it any longer!"
The matron, hearing her words, no longer tried to comfort her, feeling a similar rising anger inside.
Indeed, the master had gone too far.
However, just as they arrived ho, they heard that Qin Fu had finally sent Hidden Guards to search for his son.
The joy was short-lived, thinking Qin Fu had a change of heart. But then Mrs. Qin’s initial dispatch brought news of Qin Shen.
The attendant, trembling, held a familiar shoe, adorned with intricate embroidery. Mrs. Qin instantly recognized it as her son’s shoe.
Shen’er’s shoes and clothes were sewn by her own hands, so she would naturally not mistake them.
She tensed up imdiately and hurriedly asked, "Where did you find it? Is there any news of Shen’er?" The attendant hesitated a bit but truthfully answered stuttering.
"Madam, this shoe was found by the river outside the city. Soone said they saw the young master walking towards the river, but when we got there, we only saw this shoe, and..."
"And what else?!"
"And a collapsed embanknt."
The mont those words were spoken, Mrs. Qin’s legs gave out, and she collapsed on the ground.
The matron was shocked: "Madam!" She quickly helped Mrs. Qin up.
Trying to comfort her, she said, "Madam, don’t worry yet. Those embanknts are natural high embanknts, and with the recent rain, their collapse was inevitable. It doesn’t necessarily an the young master fell down there. Besides, this shoe could be found everywhere; it might not even be the young master’s shoe."
"Even if it is, it could be sothing the young master discarded there, or perhaps..."
The matron couldn’t continue. She didn’t know how to finish her thought convincingly.
It certainly felt more truthful the more she said it.
Mrs. Qin couldn’t hold it together anymore; everything went black, and she fainted.
When she awoke again, there was no one standing beside her bed, but instead, Qin Fu was seated by the screen.
Seeing her awake, Qin Fu angrily slamd his cup onto the table, making a loud noise.
"What a disgrace!!!"
"You are the dignified Mrs. Qin, yet you can’t even bear such emotions, humiliatingly letting the servants have a laugh? Shen’er is yet to be found, and just a single shoe can an nothing?"
"Fainting suddenly like that, if whispers arise, implying Shen’er’s disappearance, it would inevitably attract attention from those with ill intentions, putting Shen’er in real danger!"
"Won can be so foolishly stupid! Besides, Shen’er is such a grown man, not like a three-year-old child who just disappears. Aren’t you blowing this out of proportion?"
