Xu Yufan pursed his lips and smiled, then said slowly, "Master, don't worry. I know you love mother, so I will bury you with her. That way, you can rest in peace. This is the last thing I can do for you as a son."

"You are no match for Xu Zhimiao!" Qian Zhang said bitterly, "Kid, why are you so impatient? Can't you wait until I have dealt with Xu Zhimiao and cleared this big obstacle for you before you take action?"

"How can you be their opponent alone? Kid, you will suffer!"

"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with her. Master, you can go on your way with peace of mind!" After saying that, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it hard again.

Qian Zhang never imagined that he would die at the hands of his own son.

He closed his eyes in pain and despair, "Tell me, is the story between your mother and Li Maoan true?"

"It's absolutely true." Xu Yufan said, "Otherwise, why do you think Li Maoan is so good to Xu Panyue? It's because Xu Panyue is his daughter!"

"So, she lied to me?" Qian Zhang laughed at himself.

"Master, rest assured. I will send Li Maoan to accompany you. Oh, or Xu Panyue, I will let her accompany you too. This way, you won't have to worry about being alone."

"I will come to your grave often to pay my respects. Just go on your journey with peace of mind!"

After saying that, he stabbed her again fiercely.

Finally, Qian Zhang died.

Xu Yufan looked at Qian Zhang, who was lying on the ground without breathing, with a cold expression.

Looking at the bloody dagger in his hand, he didn't feel any regret at all.

He bent down, wiped the dagger on Qian Zhang's clothes, wiped off the blood stains, put the dagger away, and then began to deal with Qian Zhang.

He helped Qian Zhang leave the inn and drove the carriage straight into the forest.

Then Fu Qianzhang walked down the cliff without hesitation, without even blinking.

……

Xu Mansion

"Madam, the young master was not found."

All the servants who went out to look for Xu Yufan came back, but none of them found him.

The old lady and Xu Chongshan's expressions became more and more ugly, gloomy and dark, as if a storm was about to come.

Could it be that he and Xu Zhang left the capital?

"Have you been to the inn where Qian Zhang stayed?" the old lady asked in a deep voice.

All the servants were stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads, "I will go now."

"Madam, master, young master... young master is back." The butler trotted in and said anxiously.

The old lady and Xu Chongshan looked at each other, and then saw Xu Yufan walking towards them.

Looking at the servants kneeling on the ground, he was bewildered, "Grandma, father, what's going on? What happened? Why... are they kneeling on the ground?"

His confused and ignorant look seemed like he really knew nothing.

"Where have you been so early in the morning?" Xu Chongshan asked in a deep voice.

"Let's go see Master off." Xu Yufan said slowly, "Master has been talking for too long, it's time to go back. I am deeply indebted to him, so I should see him off."

"It's my fault for not informing grandma and father. Please punish me, grandma and father."

As he said this, he bowed very respectfully and admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

"Your master went back?" Xu Chongshan looked at him in disbelief.

Xu Yufan nodded, "Father, yes. The master went back, and I saw him out of the city gate."

"He doesn't let you go back with him?" Xu Chongshan asked.

"Yes." Xu Yufan nodded again, "Master said that I have grown up and have completed my apprenticeship. It is time for me to go home and be with my parents. I should shoulder the responsibility of being the male heir of the Xu family."

"I think what the master said makes sense, so I decided to stay. I also hope that my grandmother and father can persuade my mother not to let me leave again."

"I want to share my father's burden and help the Xu family prosper. I want to pursue a career in government and do something practical for the people. Just like my father, I want to be a good official."

"I hope my father will agree." After saying this, he bowed deeply to Xu Chongshan, his tone full of sincerity.

Xu Chongshan looked at the old lady again, both of their eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Father won't allow it?" Seeing that Xu Chongshan didn't respond, Xu Yufan looked up at him and asked cautiously.

"We'll talk about this later," Xu Chongshan said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, do you know that your mother is in trouble?"

"Something happened to my mother? What happened?" Xu Yufan asked anxiously and confusedly.

Before Xu Chongshan could answer him, he turned around and hurried towards Mingxiang Garden.

Looking at his back, Xu Chongshan's brows furrowed and his eyes were gloomy.

It looks very similar!

If he didn't know it beforehand, he would have been fooled by his expression.

"Everyone, step back." He said to the servants who were kneeling on the ground.

"Yes!" All the servants retreated.

"Mother, let's go and see how he reacts." Xu Chongshan supported the old lady and headed towards Mingxiang Garden.

"Mother! Mother!" Xu Yufan's painful voice came, "How could this happen? How could this happen? When I came to see you last night, you were fine!"

"Why did you leave me when I went out? Mother, tell me, who harmed you?"

He knelt in front of Ruan Lizi's bed and cried heartbreakingly.

The crying sound made Cheng's mother, who had been guarding Ruan Lizi's bedside, burst into tears.

Young Master... does he have such acting skills?

It was clearly him who personally handed the medicine to his wife in the morning! And he did it in front of her.

He left with the bowl of medicine only after his wife had finished drinking it.

Then in less than a quarter of an hour, the lady vomited and died.

At this moment, he was crying so heartbroken and telling lies one after another.

Looking at Xu Yufan crying in front of Ruan Lizi's bed, Cheng's mother didn't know what to say for a moment.

He just looked at him with a look of horror.

The old lady and Xu Chongshan came in.

"Since last night, you haven't entered your mother's room again?" The old lady looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xu Yufan looked up and looked at her in confusion, "Grandma, what do you mean by that? I went out to find my master early in the morning and have never been to my mother's room."

"Master, you...how can you lie with your eyes open?" Mother Cheng accused angrily, "You clearly came to Madam's room early this morning."

"You also brought the bowl of medicine that Madam drank. I saw you feeding Madam the medicine with my own eyes. Then, within a quarter of an hour after you left, Madam vomited blood and died."

"You...how can you say you didn't come this morning...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, Xu Yufan slapped her away.

"You are such a rude slave, you actually spoke nonsense in front of my grandmother and father! It must be you, my rude slave, who killed my mother!"

"In that case, I will grant your wish. You go down and accompany your mother!" Xu Yufan said expressionlessly, and then he struck Cheng's mother hard with his palm again.

Mother Cheng died on the spot.
