Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"Asshole!" The old lady was furious, "What do you mean the lady is gone!"

Xu Panyue even grabbed the housekeeper by the collar and said, "Slave, you dare to curse my mother! Damn it!"

"Xu Panyue, let go!" Xu Chongshan shouted, "Let the housekeeper explain clearly!"

Xu Panyue angrily let go and glared at the housekeeper fiercely, "Speak! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Replying to the old lady and the master, Aunt Cheng came to report that...the madam is...gone. She just...she breathed her last." The housekeeper said cautiously.

"You're talking nonsense! You lowly slave! I'm going to kill you!" Xu Panyue shouted like crazy.

"Shut up!" The old lady yelled at her, "Go to Mingxiang Pavilion."

The group hurried towards Mingxiang Pavilion.

Mother Cheng followed behind tremblingly, her face pale.

Mingxiang Pavilion

Ruan Lizi was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, as if she was unwilling to close her eyes.

The corners of her lips were stained with blood, and the brocade pillow under her head was stained red with blood.

In less than a month, she had become skin and bones, and her face looked nothing like it used to be.

His cheekbones were high and protruding, his eye sockets were deep and dark, and even his hair was half white. The skin on his face was wrinkled, making him look even older than the old lady, who was nearly sixty years old.

Xu Panyue couldn't believe that the person on the bed was her mother.

The last time I went home and saw my mother, she was not like this. Although she looked pale, how could she be so thin?

"This is not my mother!" Xu Panyue screamed in denial, "Where did you take my mother? Did you hide her?"

She glared at the old lady fiercely and even pointed her finger at her face. "You old immortal, what did you do to my mother?"

"How dare you!" Xu Chongshan scolded her, "How dare you be so rude to your grandmother!"

"You're not any better! Xu Chongshan!" Xu Panyue looked at him fearlessly, "You're also responsible for my mother's death! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"Xu Chongshan, you..."

"Shut her mouth!" the old lady said coldly, with raging anger in her eyes.

"Second Miss, I'm sorry!" The butler said with a look of fear on his face, and then stuffed the ball of silk in his hand directly into Xu Panyue's mouth.

Xu Panyue instinctively reached out to pull it.

"Tied him up!" the old lady said coldly.

The butler naturally obeyed the old lady and quickly tied up Xu Panyue.

"Woo... Woo..." Xu Panyue made an angry sound, and her eyes glared at the old lady fiercely like a ghost.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xu Chongshan asked Cheng's mother sternly.

Mother Cheng swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "Master, Madam... Madam drank the medicine that the young master brought, and then... then... she vomited blood."

"I can't stop her bleeding at all. I can only watch Madam vomit blood and die."

She knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "I am guilty. I failed to take good care of the lady. I am guilty!"

"Yufan?" The old lady was shocked and looked around, "Where is Xu Yufan? Find him for me!"

Xu Chongshan was also extremely angry, his chest heaving violently and his face turned ashen.

Xu Panyue was so shocked by Cheng's mother's words that she stopped talking.

His eyes were as big as bells, staring at Cheng's mother without blinking, he couldn't believe his ears.

Yufan?

He...drug his mother? Poisoned her to death?

No, no, no!

This is impossible! How is this possible?

His mother loved him the most, how could he...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she was so scared that she trembled all over.

No...could it be what she thought?

Xu Yufan knew his own life experience and knew that he was not Xu Chongshan’s son, so... he killed people to silence them?

He poisoned his mother. He didn't want anyone to know that he was not Xu Chongshan's son.

Yes, no matter he is the son of Li Maoan or Qian Zhang, he is not as promising as the son of Xu Chongshan.

There was no way Li Mao'an would let him become the prince of Rong Wang Mansion, and Qian Zhang could give him nothing except martial arts.

But it’s different in the Xu family. As long as he is Xu Chongshan’s son, everything in the Xu family belongs to him.

So...he killed his mother.

What about her? Would Xu Yufan do something to her? After all, she now knew their backgrounds!

"Ah...ah!" Xu Panyue screamed again, her face full of horror.

Jumping towards Xu Chongshan, "Hmm, hmm..."

She wanted Xu Chongshan to remove the silk stuffed in her mouth, and she wanted to speak.

Xu Chongshan frowned, his face full of displeasure and anger.

He raised his hand and struck hard at Xu Panyue's neck.

Xu Panyue only felt a pain in her neck, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

"Master, do you want to send him back to Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion?" the butler asked cautiously.

"Don't send her off yet. Send her to the house where she will live before getting married. I will send her back personally later." Xu Chongshan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the housekeeper responded and had Xu Panyue be helped to her previous residence.

"Butler, send someone to find Xu Yufan." Xu Chongshan said coldly, "Don't make a big deal out of it, just find him and bring him back."

"Yes, sir!" the butler responded and walked out.

Only the old lady, Xu Chongshan and Cheng's mother were left in the room.

"Are you sure she died from drinking the medicine Xu Yufan gave her?" The old lady stared at Cheng's mother and asked word by word.

Mother Cheng looked terrified. She swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! Madam, Master, I dare not say a word of falsehood."

"I... I am telling the truth. Master Qian came here early this morning."

"When?" the old lady asked coldly, her expression very calm.

"It was around a quarter past the hour of Mao," said Madam Cheng. "I saw it clearly. Master Qian climbed over the wall and came directly to Madam's room."

"I knew that Master Qian was very skilled in martial arts, so I didn't dare to get close to him. I just hid behind the big tree and watched from afar."

"Master Qian stayed in Madam's room for about half an hour. However, less than a quarter of an hour after Master Qian entered Madam's room, the young master also came."

"He was standing outside the door, probably listening to the conversation between the lady inside and Master Qian."

"Even though I'm hiding so far away, I can still feel the murderous intent emanating from the young master."

"Less than half an hour after Master Qian left, the young master came in with medicine. At that time, this servant was waiting beside the lady."

"The young master personally fed the medicine to Madam."

Inn Room

Xu Yufan sat face to face with Qian Zhang and handed a cup of tea to Qian Zhang, "Master, have some tea."
