"Huh?" He Yunya suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lijiang asked.
He Yunya said, "Young Master's Star Moon Sword is missing."
Qingfeng and Cai Zhonghe's expressions immediately turned serious. At this moment, Guo Guo and Mao Ying also arrived after hearing the news. Qingfeng asked, "Did you see Jianyue go out?"
Guo Guo and Mao Ying exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing something.
Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why won't you answer me?"
"Ah? Yes." Guo Guo hurriedly said, "Young Master has gone out. But, but, Young Master ordered that the Grand Lord not be alerted."
Everyone who heard this couldn't help but show surprise.
"If that's the case, then I need to know even more where Jian Yue went."
Qingfeng's face darkened, and his eyes widened, causing Guo Guo and Mao Ying to break out in a cold sweat.
"Did the young master go to Yixin Garden, or were Huang Chong and Zhang Lang accompanying him?"
Qingfeng was slightly puzzled. After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized something and rushed out of the room, with Cai Zhonghe following behind. As soon as they reached the front yard, Qingfeng abruptly stopped. Cai Zhonghe asked, "What is it?"
"For safety's sake, you'd better send a few brothers. I'll head to Yixin Garden first, and you can come after me."
After saying that, he left quickly.
"Wait, wait..." Cai Zhonghe stared in surprise at Qingfeng's figure, which was faster than a whirlwind, and murmured, "What, what's going on?"
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
These words are meant for loving couples; for Old Madam Lu, spring was something she would forever hate. In spring, she fell in love with a man, but that love was fleeting. In spring, she married a man, but he ran away one spring night for another woman. In spring, she fell in love with a third man, but he soon betrayed her. In spring, she killed the man who betrayed her and his woman. Now, her son is leaving her, leaving her forever, leaving her unable to touch him, unable to grasp him…
Old Madam Lu woke up from a nightmare, her silk pillow soaked with tears.
One hand supported her back from behind, while the other offered her a clean towel. Then, a gentle yet firm voice whispered in her ear, "Here, wipe your face."
Old Madam Lu was suddenly shocked, "You, you are..."
"It's me."
In the darkness, Kiyomi Tsuki's eyes shone like stars in the distant night sky.
"What are you doing here?" Old Madam Lu said angrily, "Go back to your ice garden."
"Madam, you don't need to worry. Xu Lan should be being interrogated by Fang Runmin in the punishment hall right now. He won't be back for a while." Qing Jianyue raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Madam Lu's face and the sweat on her forehead.
Madam Lu's body trembled slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
"At this point, are you still going to keep it a secret?" Kiyoshi Tsuki straightened up, and in the darkness, his smiling face looked so mysterious and beautiful.
Old Madam Lu stared at him in surprise, "What...what exactly are you trying to say?"
Qing Jianyue leaned down and brought her face close to hers, saying gently yet firmly, "Madam, you did not send anyone to assassinate Madam Long."
Madam Lu exclaimed, "Why do you say that?"
“Because you are the Lord’s mother,” Kiyomi Tsuki said.
Tears of emotion welled up in Madam Lu's eyes. Suddenly, she lowered her head sadly and said, "No, you are wrong."
"Huh?" Kiyomi Tsuki was taken aback and quickly stood up straight.
With her phoenix eyes slightly closed, Madam Lu said sorrowfully, "Even if I don't want to admit it, there's no way to clear my name of suspicion."
Qing Jianyue grew impatient. "Madam, could you please explain yourself more clearly?"
"He...he's not dead." Tears fell drop by drop, splashing onto the back of her hand. Madam Lu angrily pounded the bed, screaming madly, "Lu Ji, you bastard, you bastard! You're the one who ruined me, you're the one who ruined me!" As she screamed, Madam Lu broke down in tears.
Kiyoshi Tsuki, filled with shock and anger, roared, "What are you talking about? Old Master Lu is dead. I saw it with my own eyes, and I even attended his and the Great Witch's funeral."
"That was all a lie to you, to gain your sympathy and force you to accept the mission." Old Madam Lu cried out, tears streaming down her face. "Lu Ji, he's not dead. My people have investigated thoroughly. If you don't believe me, you can ask He Yunya. No, she's not He Yunya. She must be someone related to that woman."
"Her name is Lijiang," Qing Jianyue roared, barely containing her anger. "Even if he faked his death, you shouldn't have sent someone to assassinate Madam Long. How old are you anyway? Don't you think before you act? Have you considered the consequences of this?"
"I couldn't suppress my anger any longer, so I sent someone to intimidate him. I just wanted to force him out, I just wanted to..." Old Madam Lu covered her face and cried.
Kiyomi Tsuki was so angry that her hair stood on end.
Damn it, why is this happening? This is completely different from what I suspected. If it really was Old Madam Lu who orchestrated this, then things are really going to get complicated. What should I do? What should I do? I have to come up with something. I absolutely cannot let Lu Family Fortress be destroyed. Lu Family Fortress is like Qingcheng's life. If Lu Family Fortress is gone, Qingcheng will also... No, I absolutely cannot allow it.
"That's enough for me to see."
A voice, both authoritative and sinister, rang out, startling Qing Jianyue and Old Madam Lu. The carved door opened, footsteps approached, and Qing Jianyue and Old Madam Lu couldn't help but widen their eyes. Suddenly, the lights came on, and Qingfeng's figure clearly came into their view.
Kiyomi Tsuki immediately let out a long sigh of relief. Seriously, that scared me to death.
Qingfeng's handsome face darkened. "Jianyue, you're really naughty. Running here all by yourself without a sound, are you trying to scare us to death?"
Kiyomi Tsuki gave an embarrassed, silly grin, thinking to herself: What? This guy, Qingfeng, even his tone of voice has become like Lijiang's. Wait a minute, what's he doing here?
"Qingfeng, what brings you here?" Qingjianyue asked with some concern.
"Of course I'm here to take you back." Qingfeng walked over and grabbed Qingjian Yue's hand. "Alright, let's go back. You're such a worry."
"Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with the old lady."
"Hmph, do you want to clear her name?" Qingfeng's lips curled into a faint, cold smile. "It's no use. A murderer is a murderer."
