Chapter 172 Aunt Miao

"Since the servants who are doing the work are not here, why not go in and take a look?"

  "Master, this is the master's order, please don't make it difficult for us. Besides, the lady is not here, what's the point of you going in?"

  Qi Heng's eyes narrowed.

  Just when the servants thought that the young master had been persuaded by them and gave up the idea, they saw an extremely strong pressure suddenly erupt from the young master. Under this pressure, their knees went weak and they fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

  "You guys think you can stop me?"

  Qi Heng was so angry that he almost laughed.

  Considering that his mother was still at home, he had been patient until he was sure he could take her away. He was tolerant towards his father and always had a kind smile towards the servants around his mother. He just hoped that his mother's life would be better after he left.

  But perhaps it was because he was too gentle that people thought he was easy to bully. His father treated him like a fool, and even the servants dared to treat him like this!

  The more they didn't let him go to the yard to see, the more he wanted to see!

  After scolding, he ignored the servants' pleas and dissuasion, lifted his robe, stepped into the yard, and strode towards his mother's room.

  The people from the Xianlai Sect also followed closely with some concern.

  There were lights in the yard, and as he got closer, there seemed to be a faint light in his mother's room. This made Qi Heng's eyes light up and his pace became faster.

  As soon as he reached the door, he heard voices from inside -

  "Xiao Yao, what's going on? Go take a look." This was a woman's gentle voice.

  "yes."

  With a creak, the door was opened, and the maid saw Qi Heng walking out at a glance.

  She was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale, and she saluted in a panic, "Master!"

  Qi Heng's heart had sunk to the bottom, and his eyes, which had been shining just now, were now filled with anger.

  This maid used to serve my mother, but the tender female voice that spoke to her just now was not my mother's voice at all!

  Qi Heng pushed Xiao Yao who was blocking the door and strode into the house, where he saw the woman who was combing her hair in front of the mirror.

  The woman had already bathed, her hair was still slightly wet, and she was sitting in front of the mirror in her underwear, combing her hair slowly. As she combed her hair, she admired her beautiful face and looked very satisfied.

  Hearing the noise, she frowned and looked towards the door, "What the--ah!"

  When were there so many people standing outside the door!

  There are so many men!

  The woman was startled and quickly took her coat to cover herself, her face full of anger, "Who are you and why did you break into my room! Quick, Xiao Yao, go call the master!"

  "Are you Aunt Miao?" Qi Heng had already guessed the identity of this woman. "Why are you in my mother's room? Where is she?"

  Zhang Qinmiao, his cousin.  

  My cousin and my mother didn't see each other often in recent years. I heard my mother mention her name when I was young, and then I met her by chance again, so I have some impression of her.

  Just now when he heard the woman mention the three words "Aunt Miao", he vaguely associated it with that name.

  Zhang Qinmiao was stunned, and looked at Qi Heng carefully, then raised her eyebrows, "Are you Heng'er? You look a lot like your mother. Do you remember me? I'm your cousin, we met when we were little."

  The last time Zhang Qinmiao saw Qi Heng was when he was a child. So many years have passed and she had long forgotten what he looked like, so she didn't recognize him when she saw him.

  "Where is my mother?" Qi Heng asked persistently.

  "Your mother no longer lives in the mansion, don't you know?" Zhang Qinmiao's eyes moved, and then she put on her coat with her back to the crowd, and then turned around leisurely, "These people are all your friends? You kid, why did you bring people to your cousin's place without telling me? You really scared me just now."

  "My mother doesn't live in the mansion, so where does she live?"

  Qi Heng stared at her, his face anxious and filled with suppressed anger, "Also, aunt, why don't you explain why you entered the Qi Mansion and became my father's aunt?"

  Zhang Qinmiao covered her mouth with her sleeve, lowered her eyes, and spoke in a muffled voice, "Well, this is also fate. I came to the mansion to visit your mother, but who knew... But it's good this way, your mother and I can also keep each other company, right?"

  "Really? If you want to keep her company, then why did you occupy my mother's room while she disappeared?" Qi Heng asked coldly, "Are you here to visit her, or to stab her heart and kill her!"

  Zhang Qinmiao's face suddenly turned cold, "Heng'er, don't say such nonsense! Your father and I are in love with each other, and feelings cannot be controlled. Besides, your mother has no objection to my entering the mansion, so you are going too far!"

  After saying that, perhaps because she felt that the words were a bit stiff, she forced a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Heng'er, I am your aunt. We are already a family. Isn't this a closer relationship? It means you. Otherwise, if it was someone else who just barged in, I would definitely not let this matter go."

  "I'll ask you again, where does my mother live?" Qi Heng's chest was heaving with anger, and the look he gave Zhang Qinmiao was as cold as snow, but he still endured and continued to ask without getting angry at her directly.

  Dad must have been determined to hide it from him, but Zhang Qinmiao, no matter what her purpose was, at least she revealed that mom didn't live in the mansion, and this was very important information!

  If not for this, Qi Heng even wanted to take her life with one sword!

  He couldn't even imagine how happy his mother, who was already in poor health, would be when she learned that her cousin was coming to visit. But in the end, this cousin climbed into her husband's bed!

  This was a double betrayal for her. Even though she had given up on her father over the years, she would still be heartbroken after this injury.

  And how can a woman who can climb into bed with her cousin's husband be a good person?

  "I don't know about this. No one in the mansion will know except your father." Zhang Qinmiao spread her hands helplessly, "It's too late today, Heng'er, why don't you ask your father tomorrow during the day? He will definitely tell you."

  The people of Xianlai Sect were also angry when they saw this. Hu Jiu was the first one who couldn't help himself and drew his sword directly to Zhang Qinmiao's neck, "You tell me or not, if you don't, I will kill you!"

  Qi Heng couldn't do this because this person was his cousin and also his father's aunt.

  If they drew swords, his reputation would be ruined.

  But he, Hu Jiu, can do it!

  Zhang Qinmiao screamed, her face turned pale, "I said I don't know, I really don't know, you dare to hurt me! Quick, Xiao Yao, go call the master..."

  "Let's see who dares to go."

  Chen Lan drew his sword coldly and placed it across Xiao Yao's body, scaring the little maid so much that she trembled continuously.
