In the Qi Mansion, Master Qi did not return all night.

Last night, Mrs. Qi complained that her eyelids had twitched so much that she made Qi Ming sleep in the courtyard of her concubine's room.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next morning, Qi Yuanqing had not returned home.

Mrs. Qi immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Qi Ming's concubine's room.

Qi Ming impatiently opened the quilt and sat up, with a very unhappy expression.

In the past, Qi Yuanqing had a dissolute temperament, and it was common for him to stay out at night.

Or lingering in a beautiful woman's home, or playing music night after night in a restaurant, but someone will be sent back to deliver the message, so there is no need to hold the door open for her.

But there was no news last night, and even Qi Ming felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

The third concubine was very unhappy. Qi Ming rarely came here and finally stayed the night. The lady even sent someone to cause trouble early in the morning.

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to go against her?

"Master~ The eldest young master is fine. He is used to being romantic. Maybe he forgot to pass the message yesterday, so he missed the time to return home..."

The third aunt comforted her with a smile.

Qi Ming snorted coldly: "I don't know how to improve things, but you still let me worry about it at this time!"

The third aunt didn't say much, she just gently led Qi Ming back to the bed.

"Master, I'm not saying that I'm biased. That Xiao Sheng is also your son. You haven't seen him for a full month. He was in the academy a few days ago and was praised by the master for writing an article.

Woolen cloth!"

Qi Yuansheng is Qi Ming's youngest son, he is only thirteen years old. Because he is a commoner, he and Qi Yuanqing's treatment can be described as the same as in heaven and earth.

Qi Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the news that his son was studying hard, but he was more happy.

"Really? That kid is usually taciturn, but he didn't expect to study so hard?"

Qi Ming was very happy, with a smile on his face.

The third aunt nodded with a smile: "That's right! And sir, please don't forget that Xiao Sheng can take the imperial examination this year. If you can..."

Taixue is not an ordinary academy, but a place where the emperor personally appoints officials.

If Qi Ming can help smoothen the relationship, Qi Yuansheng can also go in and become a royal student.

Although he is the lowest-ranking Bai Ding, his status is much higher than that of ordinary academy and store students.

Qi Ming was also smart and immediately understood what the third aunt meant.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Which gentleman is Xiao Sheng under the name of now?"

"To tell you what, Sir, Xiao Sheng is currently studying under Su Fuzi and will only start enrolling in school next fall," the third aunt replied hurriedly.

Master Su is a well-known gentleman in the capital.

When Qi Yuanqing heard this, he was slightly silent, "I have to handle the imperial examination recently, and Xiao Sheng's admission to the Imperial Academy, first... don't be in a hurry."

The more you want, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The imperial examination was of great importance, and Qi Ming did not want to lose a big thing for a small thing.

"Master! You are trying to favor one over the other!"

When she heard that the other party disagreed, the third aunt was not happy.

"Xiao Sheng is still young. It's just a year's delay. It doesn't hurt him much. On the contrary, he can take the opportunity to accumulate contacts and increase his capital."

The third aunt was very angry, and she usually tolerated everything.

Unexpectedly, facing such a big event as enrolling in Imperial College, he would have to make way for Qi Yuanqing.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came, "Master! It's not good!"

At this time, Qi Ming felt as if his heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and his whole body was completely cold.

He suddenly stood up from the soft couch and stared at the panicked housekeeper: "What's going on? Speak slowly!"

The housekeeper gasped for a while, regained his breath, and said hurriedly: "Master, someone came to report just now, saying that the eldest young master... the eldest young master is dead."

"What?"

Qi Ming's eyes widened, he staggered two steps and almost fell down.

The third aunt quickly supported him: "Master, please don't scare me!"

"How could the eldest young master die? Don't talk nonsense. You will make the master angry and sick. Can you afford it?" The third aunt asked aggressively.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Third aunt, it's true, the eldest young master... is really dead... the body parts were collected by the servants and placed in the main hall."

At this time, Qi Ming only felt that his eyes were black, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

The third aunt was so frightened that she screamed several times and quickly asked the housekeeper to call the doctor over.

"Master! Master! Wake up quickly..."

When Qi Mingyouyou woke up, his head was in pain.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and found that he was actually in the study room, and the entire Qi residence was filled with grief-stricken cries.

He struggled to get up, grabbed some clothes and put them on before walking out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the housekeeper hurriedly stopped him: "Sir, the doctor said that you are so angry that you should rest and recuperate. You can't go out. The doctor said... the death of the eldest young master is too tragic. You can't bear such a blow."

Qi Ming couldn't care about this at all. He pushed the butler away and hurried towards the main hall.

That scene was really terrifying.

Qi Ming could not believe it.

His son was actually... was divided into...

"Ah!" A shrill cry broke through the roof from the hall and spread to every corner of Qi Mansion.

"Who did it? Who dares to touch my Qi Ming's son?"

An angry roar was heard along with a loud noise, making everyone tremble.

Qi Ming's eyes were filled with red, and he was filled with hatred and murderous intent, like a demon that chose people to devour.

"What happened? Who did it? Tell me clearly!"

The housekeeper fell to his knees on the ground and trembled: "Master, it's... His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qi Ming felt a buzz in his head, and the whole world became quiet.

"What did you say?"

He repeated through gritted teeth, his voice was dark and low, with a chilling murderous intent.

The butler was trembling all over and said stutteringly: "Yes, the prince took Zhan Jun to the Song Tower. It is said that he wanted to... grab a beauty, and then His Royal Highness the prince took the eldest young master..."

He also heard from the servants who came back. It was said that Zhan Jun led a dozen forbidden soldiers at that time, beat them half to death and drove them out of the Tage Tower.

After that, they kept waiting for the young master outside the building, but he still disappeared.

I was worried that I would be punished if I went back, so I kept putting off returning home.

It wasn't until news came from the market that we learned that Qi Yuanqing had been killed.

They immediately ran back to the house to report to the master, and it took them a full day to recover the incomplete body parts.

Qi Ming only felt a rumbling sound in his head, like countless thunders exploding, his ears were ringing, his chest was rolling with severe pain, and he almost fainted.
