When Qiu Jiayou returned, he did not see his son at the door.
He still felt something was off.
After all, Qiu Ruochu would always be waiting for him at the door long before he returned.
At this moment, the butler also came forward to greet him, "Young Master, you're finally back!"
"The young master ran away from home yesterday, and we still haven't found him!"
"Master and Madam are very anxious!"
"What happened? Why did Xiao Chu run away from home?" Qiu Jiayou walked in quickly, his steps somewhat flustered.
Where can a little child go?
A day has passed, and Qiu Jiayou finds it hard to imagine what his son might encounter.
When the butler told him what had happened, Qiu Jiayou paused in his steps.
"You mean, Xiao Chu killed someone?" Qiu Jiayou reacted with disbelief, just like his mother.
But he also knew it was true.
Why would the butler lie to him about something like this?
"What did Father say?"
"The master originally intended to make the young master kneel in the ancestral hall and wait for him to admit his mistake before letting him out."
"But the young master ran out by himself, saying he was going to find his mother."
After saying this, the butler secretly glanced at Qiu Jiayou's expression.
After all, everyone in this manor knows that the young master's mother is a taboo subject.
I wonder where the young master wants to find it.
He had no idea what his mother looked like.
"Understood." Qiu Jiayou had calmed down by now.
"I'll take some men out to search first. You go and tell my father."
"yes."
Actually, I've searched every place, big and small, in this city.
Qiu Yuan had already sent someone to inquire about this.
But nobody knows.
Qiu Jiayou then headed into some dense forest.
Xiao Ruochu loved to hide under a tree and cry.
Long ago, he cried and asked Qiu Jiayou if he could see his mother.
Qiu Jiayou did not answer.
Seeing his cold expression, Qiu Ruochu ran away crying.
Everyone was very nervous at that time because Qiu Ruochu did not show up until that evening.
In the end, Qiu Jiayou found him sleeping soundly in the dense forest of the villa.
So this time, Qiu Jiayou learned that he had run away from home.
The first place we went was the dense forest outside the city.
However, they didn't find anyone, but they did discover quite a few strange markings.
Qiu Jiayou stared thoughtfully at the strangely shaped symbols in the center of the tree.

Qiu Ruochu is sleeping with Yan Xi tonight.
This was Yan Xi's insistence, and Qiu Ruochu really couldn't refuse.
Besides, he didn't want to refuse.
Qiu Ruochu secretly glanced at Liu Yin, who was playing with her daughter beside her, and looked at the little girl with a hint of envy.
He felt a sense of familiarity with the woman in front of him.
He really wanted to ask her where the silver chain came from.
But he dared not; he was terrified.
Young Qiu Ruochu didn't know which answer she wanted.
As she watched, Qiu Ruochu's eyes unconsciously filled with tears again.
They look rather pitiful.
Liu Yin naturally noticed the boy's gaze.
But I never expected him to cry.
She raised her hand to beckon the boy over and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Why is Xiao Chu crying? Is she homesick?"
Feeling the woman's gentle movements, tears welled up in Qiu Ruochu's eyes.
"I don't miss home. I just want to find my mother."
He looked at Liuyin and spoke, his gaze fixed directly into her eyes.
Liu Yin paused in her actions and asked softly, "Why do you insist on finding her?"
"You're doing just fine right now, aren't you?"
Qiu Ruochu also sensed the woman's obvious coldness.
She was holding Yan Xi's younger sister in her arms, and she was being very affectionate and tender towards her.
But she is clearly his mother too.
Why treat him like this?
Qiu Ruochu couldn't understand it.
Yan Xi, who was standing beside them, watched their movements, but he didn't quite understand what they were saying.
All he knew was that Qiu Ruochu cried and was very sad.
"Mother, Xiao Chu just wants to find her family."
"He has never seen his mother since he was a child."
No, that's not true.
Qiu Ruochu wanted to retort, but he had already seen it.
He has seen his mother.
But in the end he didn't say anything, he just cried very sadly.

Qiu Ruochu has been following Liu Yin very closely lately.
Yan Xi often laughed at him when she saw this, saying, "Why do you always follow my mother around?"
After saying that, Yan Xi realized, "I forgot, I haven't asked where you bought that silver chain yet."
He was about to go find Liu Yin when Qiu Ruochu stopped him, saying, "No need."
No?
"Aren't you going to look for your mother anymore?" Yan Xi asked curiously.
Qiu Ruochu lowered her head. "I'm not looking anymore."
I've found it.
But it didn't work.
When Qiu Jiayou found the small courtyard by following the marks in the woods.
She spotted her son immediately.
"Xiao Chu".
Hearing the familiar voice, Qiu Ruochu turned around abruptly and indeed saw her father.
He glanced back at Liuyin, but didn't see any obvious expression on her face.
Qiu Ruochu lowered her head in disappointment.
"Xiao Chu, what's wrong?"
Qiu Jiayou was a little nervous when his usually lively son suddenly became so quiet.
Qiu Ruochu shook her head. "Father, I'm fine."
It was only then that Qiu Jiayou noticed there was another woman beside Qiu Ruochu.
She was holding a sleeping child in her arms.
When Qiu Jiayou finally saw the woman's face clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He quickly raised his hand to cover his chest.
Seeing Qiu Jiayou's actions, Qiu Ruochu was also a little worried.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Qiu Jiayou stared intently at Liu Yin. "Madam, have we met before?"
Liu Yin smiled gently, her beauty captivating.
“Young master is too kind. We have never met before.”
