It turned out that during the time when Qiu Li was out, Na Dieyi pretended to be her and was placed under house arrest in Qiu Li's room. But it was pierced by the subordinates who came to wait, and the black and white guards knew that it was a big crime to lose Qiu Li, so they pulled out the girl's butterfly clothes, threw them in this courtyard, and beat them with a long whip with sticks to ask Qiu Li's whereabouts.

But Dieyi is fierce and has been silent. Even if it was dropped by the raindrop-like stick, it was covered in blood, the skin was open, the flesh was open, the body was bruised, and the red blood that oozed soaked the clothes and coagulated. The wound that should have healed was torn again, and new blood oozed out, staining the shirt red. Dieyi didn't ask for mercy, just snorted coldly, glaring angrily at the black and white guards, until he finally fainted and fell unconscious.

Asking the people in the house to watch is also to set an example for them, so that they can learn a lesson and dare to disobey Qiu Tianqiu's orders, which is the end of Dieyi. The people in the house saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, although they sympathized with Dieyi, no one dared to step forward to stop and plead, for fear of setting themselves on fire. But even though the butterfly clothes were already dying, the black and white guards still refused to stop.

In the middle of winter, he sent someone to fetch a bucket of cold water, poured it on the butterfly clothes, and woke her up, although the poor butterfly clothes were washed away with blood, but the scars were extremely dazzling, the hands and feet were frozen red and purple, and there was no human form, the black and white guards set her up again, and waved the long stick to fall, Qiu Li, who was standing outside the human wall, couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" When the subordinates heard the sound, they saw that the person who came was Qiu Li, who had been missing for a long time, and hurriedly made way for her.

When the black and white guards saw it, they also hurriedly knelt down, and bowed together: "Miss, Miss, you're finally back!" But Qiu Li stepped forward quickly and held the Dieyi, but Dieyi fell into her arms, struggling to open her eyes, although her vision was blurred, she could vaguely recognize that it was Qiu Li who came back, her white lips opened slightly, but she couldn't say a word, she just wanted to raise her wrist, but her arm hung down weakly.

Dieyi closed her eyes forever and never opened them again. Qiu Li trembled and put his fingers to the tip of her nose, and she was already out of breath. Filled with grief and indignation, he was furious, so he hugged the corpse of the butterfly clothes and angrily reprimanded the black and white guards: "Black and white guards, you are so bold! You are just the servants and servants of my Qiu family, you dare to be so bold and kill my personal maid with a stick, it is really innocent!"

The black and white guards glanced at each other, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please calm Miss's anger, Miss atone." This is not our wish, but it is on the orders of the master. The whereabouts of the young lady were unknown, only this maid was in the room, and the old man was furious, so he told me to torture him severely, and it was necessary to force him to tell the whereabouts of the young lady. When Qiu Li heard that it was Qiu Tianqiu's order, most of his anger disappeared, and it turned into resentment, resentment towards himself.

So he ordered Dieyi to be buried alive, and asked, "Where is my father now?" The black and white guards replied: "The master and Steward Qiu are in the inner hall, Miss go and see it, the master is anxious to know the whereabouts of Miss, and he is about to turn Yanzhou Mansion upside down." Qiu Li then left the two of them and hurried to the inner hall.

However, this inner hall has always been a forbidden place for the Qiu family, and it is not allowed to approach without Qiu Tianqiu's order. It's just that at this time, Qiu Li had already thrown the matter out of the clouds, and was about to enter the door, when he suddenly heard the sound of conversation in the house. It was Qiu Tianqiu and Qiu Yunlu who were talking in the hall. I only heard Qiu Yunlu say: "Master, please rest assured, Miss She has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely be safe." ”

"Hmph, what auspicious people have their own natural appearance, if you find her back this time, you must teach her a good lesson, discipline her strictly, and no longer allow her to act wantonly and break the rules! She is so unreasonable!" As soon as the words fell, there was another angry slap on the table.

Qiu Yunlu comforted her again: "Miss is very similar to the old man when he was young, and he is also a person of temperament, and he can pursue it desperately for the things he likes. That's a good thing. According to the old slave, the young lady probably went out of the city to find the cold and abandoned Zhu Leng Gongzi. ”

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. But this, but what kind of system is this! Lonely men and widows, spending a night together in the ruins and broken walls, if this spreads, it will not lose all the face of my Qiu family! Hey, what am I ...... I can't live because I've done my own thing. Qiu Tianqiu couldn't stop sighing, and asked again: "Yunlu, what happened back then, was it really me who did it wrong?"

Qiu Li, who was eavesdropping outside the house, heard this, and wondered in his heart: "What happened back then, what happened, my father has been hiding it from me." So he calmed down and continued eavesdropping. Sure enough, Qiu Yunlu took over the conversation and continued: "Please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that although the old man was involuntary and had no choice but to do so, he did have to bear some responsibility. ”

"Hey, it's all because I was so confused. For his own selfishness, he broke up a good marriage. Don't I know that Leng Qizhu and Li Er are a pair made in heaven, and the two are also in love, and they should be a loving couple. But as soon as I saw the child, it was like seeing his short-lived father, my brother! I was ashamed of him, of the Leng family, and really, really sorry not to accept this marriage. Over the years, I couldn't sleep well, and every time I closed my eyes, the cold ghost lingered in front of me, and I didn't go for a long time. Therefore, I had to stay up all night to study, and even set up an altar for him to worship, and prayed with all my heart, just to find a little peace of mind. But I know it's just self-deception. ”

When Qiu Li heard this, she covered her mouth in shock, and thought to herself: "Isn't Uncle Leng's death related to her father?"

"It's not all the master's fault, the master doesn't have to take all the responsibility on himself. Moreover, the old man was also forced to be helpless, his wife was seriously ill, and famous doctors from all over the world said that his wife would die soon, but the valley lord of Chiyan Valley came to the door and claimed that there was a way to heal his wife, and the condition was to get the Leng family's family heirloom Sijun Sword and Xianjun Sword, but the old man and Leng Buyu were old friends and close friends, so it was naturally not easy to ask for it clearly, so they had to make this decision. ”

Qiu Tianqiu sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile: "But I never expected it. My old friend was seriously ill at the time, and the gang of Jianghu people I sent to see the wealth, not only did not find Si Jun Xianjun's swordsmanship, but also plundered a lot of money, and beat my old friend to a serious injury and fled, causing him to be filled with grief and anger and die. What I didn't expect was that the Leng family had been in a slump since then, and the family was in the middle of the road, resulting in what it is today. I wanted to support his family, but I ...... Hey, all in all, it's time to regret it......"

"It's not my lord's fault. Before the conditions promised by the valley lord of the Chiyan Valley were completed, she never appeared again. Madame soon also drove to the west, and Miss Hou also found out the same symptoms as Madame, but they had it since childhood, but it was not obvious, which made the old man exhausted, and what strength did he have to support the Leng family? The old man had to bear the pain of losing his wife, but he could not do anything about his beloved daughter's illness, and the old man's hair was much whiter. ”

Qiu Tianqiu said solemnly: "If I can, I would rather exchange my life for the lives of her mother and daughter." But now...... Forget it, don't talk about it. It's better to find Li'er quickly. I'm a little worried about her. But Qiu Li, who heard the ins and outs of the truth clearly outside the door, was already in tears, not only for the real cause of his mother's death, but also because of Qiu Tian's hatred and cold grudges.

There are so many mistakes that it is now difficult to hold them accountable. But Qiu Li knows that, to a certain extent, his most respected and beloved father is the enemy who Leng Qizhu thinks about day and night, and wants revenge, and is also the culprit of Leng Buyu's death, even if he is excusable, even if it is to save Qiu Li's mother. Qiu Li couldn't tell right from wrong for a while, his mind was in a daze, his mind was blank, tears rained down, his face was pale, and when he saw that the door was opened, he hurriedly turned around and fled.

But Qiu Yunlu, who was going out, saw the familiar figure, so he hurriedly shouted: "It's Miss! Miss is back! Hurry, stop her!" Qiu Tianqiu also rushed out of the door when he heard this, looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and sighed lightly, knowing that she must have listened to the conversation in Fang Cai's room completely, and he had been hiding it from Qiu Li because he was worried that she would be difficult to accept, but the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and finally found out the facts.

"Stop her, and don't let her out of the house again. Qiu Tianqiu said calmly. Qiu Yunlu led a group of subordinates to hurriedly block all the exits in the house, who knew that Qiu Li did not escape from the house, but hid back in the bedroom, closed the door tightly, did not eat or drink, and no one called the door to open it, so he just covered his face with the pillow quilt and cried bitterly.

The brocade was soaked with tears gushing out like spring water, and Qiu Li cried out heartbreakingly, wanting to cry out all the grievances and bitterness in his belly. The hands and feet that had been crying were weak, and the eyes were dark and dizzy, and they stopped a little. With a wooden expression, he sat on the bed stupidly, and read softly in his mouth: "Jun Xiao is a little sad, with wide sleeves and a thin white head." Who was drunk yesterday and turned his eyes red with tears ......"

There was a knock on the door outside the door, but Qiu Li did not answer, and the knocker said, "Li'er, open the door, Dad wants to talk to you." Seeing that Qiu Tianqiu knocked on the door, Qiu Li turned his head to look out of the door, his eyes were full of tears, but he lowered his head again, and replied in a choked voice: "I don't want to see you, let me be quiet." But Qiu Tianqiu refused to give up, and sighed lightly and said, "Li'er, I know you heard everything, but Dad still has something in his heart to say to you, you open the door." ”

With Qiu Tianqiu's martial arts, he could have slapped open this wooden door with one palm, but he didn't do it, and he wouldn't do it. Qiu Li hesitated for a while, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, adjusted his clothes slightly, and opened the door. Seeing Qiu Tianqiu walking into the house with a kind face, he closed the door again, sat next to the house, and glanced at Qiu Li who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and stopped talking.
