Chapter 279 Why don’t you avenge your mother?

Thinking of my master's wife.

Yang Xu lowered his head. He was still very young at that time. Every day when he went to his master's house, his master's wife was very kind to him. She was the most gentle woman he had ever met.

Later, not long after my junior sister was born.

The master's wife was brutally murdered.

"I will definitely catch the murderer!"

When we returned to Qiu Mansion, it was already late.

The housekeeper looked at the young lady deeply and closed the door. Qiu Man was humming a song in a good mood. When she returned to the yard, she found it unusually quiet.

Walked over curiously.

"Zizhu, why are you kneeling?"

"Miss..." The maid looked up at her with tears in her eyes. At this time, Qiu Man also realized that Zizhu's trick of disguising herself must have been discovered by her father.

Qiu Man gritted her teeth: "If you have the guts, hit me. What's the big deal about bullying a maid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard behind him.

At some point, Lord Qiu came over with a bloody whip in his hand, his face gloomy as he said, "I've seen people seeking death, but I've never seen people seeking a beating! Why are you running? You're a girl, and you're running out every day. I'll beat you to death!"

Zizhu took the risk and hugged the master's legs, choking with sobs: "The young lady went out with Miss Jiu."

Lord Qiu snorted coldly, "Don't talk about this, I'm not angry. Miss Jiu went to the Song Mansion to do business, what is she doing with her? Is she going to see that kid from the Song family?"

Qiu Man put her hands on her hips and retorted, "I'm going to do my job! From today on, I want to investigate the case and become as good as Mr. Song."

"Ha ha!"

He looked up to the sky and laughed dryly.

He picked up the whip again and chased his daughter to beat her.

"You're still investigating the case. Your real interest is not in the case, but in Song Wang, right? Believe it or not, I will transfer Song Wang away!"

Qiu Man, who was originally running with her head in her arms, became unhappy when she heard that her lover was going to be attacked. She stopped and was suddenly whipped on the arm.

Meeting her father's stunned gaze, she shook her head.

"no!"

Qiu Shishu looked at the whip and frowned: "Why don't you run away? Are you hurt? Zizhu, why don't you go and get the palace doctor!"

The court doctor examined him and said there was nothing serious.

Only the father and daughter were left in the room. Qiu Man felt aggrieved and she pleaded.

"Dad, please don't cause trouble for Song Wang. He's been very busy lately investigating the butterfly pattern. We must avenge Master's wife!"

Qiu Shishu said in a muffled voice: "You haven't even married yet, and you're already calling me Master's Wife. Come with me."

In the ancestral hall, the elders of the Qiu family and Madam Hou, Qiu Man's mother, are enshrined.

"You're going crazy outside every day. Burn some incense for your mother."

The girl held two incense sticks in her hand, kowtowed three times, inserted them into the incense burner, and knelt back down, expressing her longing. After a moment, she wiped her tears with her dirty sleeves.

He stretched out his hand and said pitifully.

"Mom, look, this is what Dad just beat me with. It hurts so much, but don't be angry. As long as Dad agrees for me to be with Song Wang, I won't be angry with him anymore!"

Qiu Shishu frowned: "Don't believe her. She wants to investigate the butterfly pattern with Song Wang. Can I agree? I definitely can't agree. Hey, if you were here, you could help me teach her a lesson. This girl is hard to control!"

Qiu Man puffed up her cheeks and retorted.

"If my mother were here, she would definitely spoil me and agree with everything I do."

"Maybe." Qiu Shishu relaxed his brows and sighed, "But your mother in heaven would not agree. You and Song Wang are investigating the butterfly pattern together."

Qiu Man asked: "Why?"

Qiu Shishu walked to the memorial tablet and brought out a box from the dark. He gently wiped the dust off it, revealing a complicated look. He said, "I haven't seen it for a long time."

Qiu Man asked curiously, "What is this?"

Qiu Shishu placed it on the ground and recalled, "During the days after your mother passed away, I came to see it every day, wishing I could see through it. Later, you and your sister grew up, and I grew old. My hatred faded day by day, and I looked at the box less and less..."

The more I listened, the more something seemed wrong.

She immediately opened the box and froze in place.

"Butterfly?"

Qiu Shishu responded, "Your mother didn't die in childbirth; she was murdered. The handkerchief she was clutching had a butterfly pattern on it."

Qiu Man buried her head in her knees and cried loudly.

"Why don't you avenge your mother?"

Qiu Shishu squatted on the ground, looking as dejected as he had been fifteen years ago. "I couldn't find out. You and Yingying were still young at the time, and I was too busy to do anything. I was afraid they would attack you two, so I temporarily gave up the investigation. Man'er, do you know why I'm telling you this?"

Qiu Man nodded.

"Tell me how terrifying the Butterfly Sect is, and let me give up the pursuit."

Qiu Shishu smiled and rubbed his daughter's head. Suddenly, his tone turned cold: "Qiu Man, investigating a case is not a joke. You either get to the bottom of it or just give up!"

Qiu Man clenched her fists and stood up, her breathing becoming heavy. She looked at her mother's tablet.

"Get to the bottom of this! I want to avenge my mother!"

One day later, Qiu Man asked why he told her the truth at that time. The Marquis just smiled and said, "There is no man in our family, but you have the same personality as me, and you like that silly boy Song Wang. As the saying goes, a husband and wife of one mind can achieve great things."

Come to think of it, they have some similar tragic experiences.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Qiu Man couldn't sleep. She looked at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror, and the sad things in her heart were magnified infinitely. She wanted to find Sister Jiusu and Lord Song Wang.

"Zizhu, I want to go out."

"It's so late, where are you going?" Zizhu looked at the dark sky outside and advised, "Wait until daybreak."

Qiu Man put the box in her arms and said seriously, "I'm going to find Song Wang."

Zizhu said, "I'm afraid the master won't let you go. Besides, it's so late, and if you go to the Song Mansion and meet Young Master Song alone, the people in the Song Mansion won't allow you to, and it will cause a sensation."

Li Prefecture.

The housekeeper knew the importance of the young lady. Generally, when a good friend came, there was no need to report to the Marquis and his wife, let alone Miss Qiu, so he brought her directly into the yard.

Ma Hu saw that it was Qiu Man and opened the gate.

"Please come in."

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Man and Jiu Su left the Marquis' Mansion and headed straight for the Song Mansion.

Jiusu looked at the red-eyed person helplessly: "Who bullied you?"

Qiu Man shook her head, hugged herself tremblingly, and shed a tear.

"I want to see Song Wang..."

"Okay, I'll see him soon." Jiusu lifted the curtain and urged Zitan. When they arrived at the Song Mansion, the servants went to report first. Song Wang was the young master in charge of the family.

He also easily arrived at Song Wang's yard.

Qiu Man pressed down the brim of her hat. She didn't want others to see her vulnerable appearance and bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion. She gave Jiusu a grateful look.

"Thanks."

Jiusu put his arm around her shoulders, and they both stepped over the threshold, while Zizhu took the door with her.

Song Wang stood up and asked in confusion, "I wonder what brings you two to the Song Mansion..."

His slender figure froze, the candlelight shone on the two overlapping figures, and the sound of a woman sobbing was heard. The sad voice brought him back to his senses.

And realize the situation at this time.

Qiu Man hugged him and cried.

Jiusu smiled and sat aside, drinking tea. Eating melon so late at night made him choke, but Manman was still brave enough to wrap himself in his cloak.

Well, a night spent thinking about my boyfriend.

Song Wang coughed lightly, supported her shoulders, and helped her stand up. He also noticed the wound on her arm, "How did this happen? Did Lord Qiu beat you?"
