I insist

Chapter 382: Complaint

A minute or two later, Yu Huailin gradually understood and nodded, "I acted impulsively just now. I was just worried that you would leave me."

Seeing that Yu Huailin was no longer angry, Song Miqiu felt that it was getting late, and if she didn't go soon, Aunt Yu would start to get anxious.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Aunt Yu was speaking upstairs, so Song Miqiu found a place to sit down with Yu Huailin.

After speaking, Song Miqiu stepped forward and gave the pills she had obtained from the system to Aunt Yu.

"These are for regular health maintenance, and these two are life-saving pills that can be taken for any situation."

Aunt Yu had just received a gift from Song Miqiu, and now she was given such a valuable gift. She was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears and she didn't know what to say.

"I'm already so happy that you came, Auntie."

Seeing Aunt Yu so happy was enough for Song Miqiu.

"Your health is the most important thing. I'll bring you more in the future."

Just then, other guests arrived with gifts, and Aunt Yu greeted Song Miqiu before going to attend to them.

Aunt Yu's birthday celebration this time wasn't a banquet; it was just a casual meal with friends over, so there weren't many formalities.

After eating a few bites of food, Song Miqiu pulled Yu Huailin away.

She was afraid that after drinking some wine, Aunt Yu would come to discuss marriage with her again, and Song Miqiu wouldn't know what to say to avoid the topic.

Not long after Song Miqiu left, the guests also gradually departed.

That evening, Aunt Yu noticed that Yan Yufan seemed distracted all day.

After dinner, I specially invited Yan Yufan over for a heart-to-heart talk.

"There are some things that you really can't force your son to do."

Seeing that her mother had seen through her, Yan Yufan no longer hid her employment.

"Mother, Song Miqiu is the first woman I've ever loved, and I don't want to give her up."

Aunt Yu sighed. After all, her son was still young and didn't know so much.

"Son, you have a long road ahead of you, and you will meet many more people in the future."

Yan Yufan still couldn't cheer up. "Mother, are you really telling your son to give up like this?"

Aunt Yu couldn't bear to see her son so troubled by love. "Give up sooner so you can get over it sooner. You're young now, and love isn't something you can achieve on your own. Son, you need to understand that."

How could Yan Yufan not know that Song Miqiu didn't like him?

"Mother, I know. I will handle this matter myself."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but after walking halfway, he turned back and looked at Aunt Yu, speaking very seriously.

“My mother, Song Miqiu, is not married. Now, no matter who she likes, I have the right to like her and to fight for her. I really don’t want to give up.”

After saying this, he left, not wanting to listen to Aunt Yu's so-called profound principles.

After Yan Yufan left, Aunt Yu sat there alone for a long time, thinking about the things she had done when she was young. Everyone goes through the same thing.

After attending Aunt Yu's banquet, Song Miqiu spent the rest of her days as usual.

Sometimes Song Miqiu would go to the palace to take turns on duty, but fortunately, Ming Taicheng was there to help Song Miqiu avoid many problems.

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law's relationship was getting better day by day, Song Miqiu felt happier and happier with her life.

But this peaceful day was disrupted.

Early in the morning, a group of soldiers with weapons rushed into Song Miqiu's house. Yu Huailin had gone out to recruit soldiers and was not at home that day, so only Song Miqiu was in the yard.

The officers and soldiers naturally knew Song Miqiu's identity, so they restrained themselves after rushing in.

Song Miqiu looked at them with a sense of wariness.

"Why is the official here?"

It was said that the questioning tone was quite accusatory.

The officers and soldiers knew that Song Miqiu was not someone to be offended, so they first presented the complaint before speaking.

"The old woman of the Liu family accused your eldest son of murdering her daughter Liu Xiaoyue, saying that your eldest son coveted Liu Xiaoyue's beauty, took her as his own, and then killed her and buried her body."

Song Miqiu forced herself to stay calm and not panic.

Yu Huailin had already arranged for people to dispose of Liu Xiaoyue's body. As long as they couldn't find the body and had no evidence, they couldn't arrest anyone.

"You're suing my eldest son? Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

But the next sentence the officer said instantly broke Song Miqiu's guard.

"There's no evidence, but on the very day Liu Xiaoyue went missing, someone saw your eldest son following behind her to the same place?"

"What?" Song Miqiu couldn't help but blurt it out.

Qiu Tianlei had never told me about this before. Could it be that Qiu Tianlei was indeed hiding something from me?

Song Miqiu was filled with questions; she couldn't distinguish between reality and the truth.

Just as the soldiers were about to rush in and arrest people, Song Miqiu finally came to his senses and stood in front of them.

"Where is the body? Without a body, how can you say my son killed Liu Xiaoyue? Perhaps Liu Xiaoyue has simply disappeared?"

The officers and soldiers were not alarmed, as if they had expected Song Miqiu to ask such a question.

She answered truthfully, "Miss, our master has already arranged for people to search for the body after receiving the report. It should be easy to find it within a radius of more than ten kilometers."

Seeing Song Miqiu's eyes dim, he continued.

“Your son is now the prime suspect. Even if the body hasn’t been found, the fact that someone saw your son following Liu Xiaoyue out of the city means he can’t escape punishment.”

After all, with so many cases every day, the officers and soldiers have long since accumulated some experience.

"I advise you to have a good talk with your eldest son now and ask him properly if the murder was committed by him."

The warning was given, but the officers and soldiers still wanted to arrest him, and they were about to rush into the room.

Song Miqiu stood there motionless, then suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

The officers and soldiers turned around and saw Song Miqiu standing stiffly in front of them.

"I'll go add more people, you guys wait here."

With Song Miqiu's words, the officers and soldiers naturally dared not take any further action.

"Imperial Physician, you'd better hurry, we also need to report back on time."

Song Miqiu ignored them, composed herself, and then went back to her room.

At this moment, Qiu Tianlei was helping Yu Mei breastfeed the child. Song Miqiu was afraid of upsetting Yu Mei, so she desperately stopped the soldiers.

After arriving in the room, Song Miqiu looked at Qiu Tianlei and tried her best to calm herself down before speaking.

"Come out here for a moment, something's happened outside, come and take a look."

Qiu Tianlei was unaware of the situation at the time, his mind focused solely on his son.

"Mom, put whatever you need to do aside for now. I'll go after I finish breastfeeding."

Song Miqiu lowered her voice, "I told you to go out."

This caught their attention. Yu Mei pushed her husband and said, "Mother must have something urgent to tell you. Go quickly, I'll stay here."

Seeing his mother's dark face, Qiu Tianlei quickly set off, saying, "I'll go right now, Mother. What's wrong?"

As Song Miqiu was leaving the room, she made a point of turning back to look at Yu Mei and her son.
