The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Qi Sili was furious and took a step forward, almost grabbing the boy's collar: "How dare you! I am the blood of the Qi family, go and inform them!"

The servant didn't buy it, and pushed the door tighter, with a bit of disdain in his eyes: "Exiled family members can come back? Do you think this is a play?"

Qi Sili was so angry that his face turned blue. He was about to force his way in when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the backyard.

Soon after, the old steward of the mansion rushed over, saw this scene, and hurried forward.

"Stop!" The old butler hurriedly stopped the argument between the two, looked at Qi Sili with a serious expression, his old face full of surprise and disbelief.

But he was an old man of the Qi family after all, and he recognized Qi Sili immediately.

"Yes... it's the Eighth Master!" The old housekeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, hurried forward, pushed the servant aside, and said with a slightly excited tone, "Master, is it really you? Why are you back?"

Qi Sili looked at the old housekeeper, and the suppressed emotions in his heart finally loosened a little. He suppressed the pain in his heart and whispered, "It's me, take me to see my mother, I must see her immediately."

The old butler nodded, glanced at the servant beside him with complicated eyes, and then whispered: "Take the Eighth Master in quickly, don't let others see it."

The servant then realized the offense he had just committed. His face turned pale and he didn't dare to say another word. He immediately opened the door.

Qi Sili followed the old butler, crossed the backyard, and quietly came to the inner courtyard where the old lady lived.

Along the way, his mood became heavier, and his mind kept replaying what the eldest brother had said - how could the eldest brother break off relations with his mother?

In the yard, the old lady was sitting quietly in the hall, her face full of fatigue and looking particularly haggard.

Ever since the eldest wife broke off relations with her, her mental state has become worse and worse, and she seems to have aged ten years.

The moment Qi Sili walked into the hall, the old lady could hardly believe her eyes.

Her originally wooden expression suddenly twisted, and her eyes were filled with astonishment and tears.

"Si Li? Why...why are you back?" The old lady's voice trembled, as if all this was a dream.

Qi Sili could no longer control his emotions, tears instantly burst out, he knelt down in front of the old lady, hugged her legs, and choked up, "Mother...it's me, I'm back, I'm still alive!"

The old lady rushed forward and hugged Qi Sili tightly, tears streaming down her face: "My child, you are still alive... God bless you, I thought everyone in your eighth room... had already..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, sadness and joy mixed together in her heart.

The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Qi Sili's face was covered with tears, and her voice was trembling with pain: "Mother... everyone in the eighth room died. I was the only one who escaped at the risk of my life."

He was choking with sobs and could hardly speak. His body was shaking slightly with emotion and his tears were dripping onto the ground drop by drop.

There was a gleam of surprise in the old lady's eyes, but after hearing these words, she completely collapsed in the chair, her lips trembling slightly, her hands tightly grasping the armrests, as if she had lost her strength due to a sudden blow.

"All... dead?" The old lady's voice trembled with disbelief, her eyes were empty, as if she couldn't bear this sudden bad news.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard.

Yongliang Marquis Qi Siyu and his wife walked in quickly.

As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw Qi Sili kneeling at the old lady's feet and crying. Qi Siyu's face suddenly darkened, and the marquis's wife was also stunned for a moment.

Qi Siyu walked up to the old lady and glanced at Qi Sili with cold eyes, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said coldly: "Old Eight, you're back, and you're back alive."

There was a hint of doubt and displeasure in his words.

Qi Sili looked up, his eyes full of helplessness: "Second brother, I'm back...but the other people in the eighth room are all dead...I escaped at the risk of my life."

Qi Siyu's expression suddenly changed and his eyes became more fierce.

He walked up slowly, looked down at him, and said coldly: "Old Eight, since you are back, you must bear the responsibilities you should bear. This escape was originally the fault of your Eighth House. Since there is a problem, the Qi family must explain it clearly to the emperor."

Qi Sili's eyes flashed with fear, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Second brother, it's not like that! This is not the fault of the Eighth House! It was Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen, the two of them were so cruel that they brutally killed the people of the Eighth House just to win the credit! I escaped at the risk of my life!"

Qi Sili's crying was so deafening that Qi Siyu and the Marquis were stunned for a moment.

The old lady's face turned even paler than paper. She looked terrified and her voice trembled, "You...what did you say? Was it Master Gu and Ze Shen who killed the people from the Eighth House?"

Qi Sili nodded vigorously, and even he himself believed this fact.

"Yes! It's them! They killed the people from the Eighth House for their own future! Mother, Second Brother, you have to make a decision for the people from the Eighth House!"

These words exploded like thunder in the room.

Qi Siyu's face became even gloomier, and he was furious: "I will report them to the emperor tomorrow morning and let him make the decision and give my Qi family an explanation!"

The next morning, Yongliang Hou Qi Siyu got up early and entered the palace with a worry in his mind.

As soon as Qi Siyu entered the palace, he was led into the imperial study.

He met the emperor and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, your brother Qi Sili did not listen to advice and fled from exile.

I did find Qi Sili in my house, but I have no intention of hiding it. I just want to temporarily stabilize him and bring him to the emperor to confess his guilt, so as to avoid shame for the Qi family. "

The emperor's gaze narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "In that case, bring Qi Sili here and let me personally interrogate the case."

Qi Siyu kowtowed quickly and said, "Yes, I will send someone to bring Qi Sili to see the emperor."

When the imperial guards sent by Marquis Yongliang rushed into Marquis Yongliang's mansion, they quickly surrounded the entire house and began to search room by room.

However, surprisingly, Qi Sili seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

The imperial guards searched from the front yard to the back yard, and even every corner, but they could not find any trace of Qi Sili.

In the mansion, the old lady looked calm and sat quietly in the hall, as if she knew nothing about all this.

Yongliang Hou hurried back to the mansion, his face becoming more and more anxious. He came directly to the old lady, knelt on one knee, and said anxiously: "Mother, where is my eighth brother? Where did he go?"

The old lady raised her head with a cold expression.

There was no trace of emotion in her eyes, and she said calmly, "How should I know? Sili didn't tell me where he went."
