I insist

Chapter 375: Scolding the Son

"This time, thanks to the pills you gave me, they really worked. Without them, I probably wouldn't have been able to save him."

Now that the mission is complete, it's time for Doctor Ma to return to the palace.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back to Song Miqiu and say, "We must exchange medical books when we have the chance. It's amazing that a woman your age has such superb medical skills. It seems that old man Ming Taicheng is hiding something good and is wary of me."

Song Miqiu, of course, knew that Doctor Ma was joking.

"No, no, no, it was Dr. Ma who helped me a lot. I will definitely pay him a visit another day."

Dr. Ma didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and left with a smile.

After Dr. Ma left, Song Miqiu didn't say anything, but gently placed the child next to Tian Yumei, then went out and closed the door.

She went up and slapped her son who was standing outside the door.

The anger from before erupted all at once.

"You know perfectly well that Yumei is about to give birth, so why do you keep hurting her feelings?"

Fearing that the noise from here would disturb Tian Yumei's rest, Song Miqiu pulled her son into the yard.

Where did you get that fragrance this time?

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Qiu Tianlei had no choice but to admit it.

"Mother really doesn't blame me, it's all that Liu Xiaoyue's fault."

Song Miqiu sneered. Why are men always so similar? They always try to distance themselves from everything when something happens.

“A few days ago, Liu Xiaoyue came to me privately and said a bunch of nonsense, asking me to take her in. I only did it because I felt sorry for her.”

Qiu Tianlei didn't have the courage to finish his sentence.

Song Miqiu tried to keep her voice down as much as possible.

"You only know how to blame others. Why don't you admit it's your fault? You came to see her and felt sorry for her, but why don't you feel sorry for Yu Mei?"

Seeing his mother's hands trembling with anger, Qiu Tianlei finally admitted his mistake.

"It's all the son's fault, Mother. You must never let Yumei know about this."

If Qiu Tianlei hadn't already grown up, Song Miqiu would have loved to slap him so hard he'd be left with nothing but teeth.

"Alright, whether you tell me or not depends on whether you still want this family in the future."

Song Miqiu has made his point clear enough; now it's up to Qiu Tianlei to decide what to do.

Even if she forgave Qiu Tianlei, Liu Xiaoyue naturally couldn't let him go.

Before Qiu Tianlei could leave, Song Miqiu pressed him for details about Liu Xiaoyue's whereabouts.

"Didn't you say that Liu Xiaoyue contacted you privately? You should know where she is now."

Qiu Tianlei stammered and couldn't get the words out.

Song Miqiu knew there must be something she didn't know.

"The world is what it is now, and you're still hiding it, huh?"

Qiu Tianlei then spoke up.

"I hid Liu Xiaoyue in our kitchen."

Song Miqiu never expected to hear such an outcome.

Unable to hold back, he slapped Qiu Tianlei on the back.

Qiu Tianlei hunched over, enduring Song Miqiu's beatings and scoldings without retaliating.

"Come on, hurry up and take your mother to find this woman."

Led by Qiu Tianlei, Song Miqiu arrived at the woodshed next to the kitchen.

Liu Xiaoyue wasn't stupid; she managed to hide right under Song Miqiu's nose without being discovered.

Seeing the tightly closed door, Song Miqiu stepped forward and kicked it open.

When the two went inside, they found that Liu Xiaoyue was nowhere to be seen; she had probably escaped sometime during the night.

Song Miqiu, having nowhere to vent her anger, gave Qiu Tianlei a cold shoulder.

"This is what you've done. You pity her, but she's only interested in using you."

After saying that, Song Miqiu left Qiu Tianlei standing there in a daze and walked away without paying him any attention.

After all, Tian Yumei had just given birth and was in a vulnerable state, needing someone to be with her.

Upon hearing the door open, Tian Yumei, who was lying in the room, thought it was Qiu Tianlei, but she was surprised to find that it was her mother who came in.

Despite Tian Yumei's attempts to hide her disappointment, Song Miqiu still noticed.

"Mother was worried, so she came to take a look and then left."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Tian Yumei's hand, he said, "You've worked so hard these past few days. Thank you for bringing another big, healthy baby boy into the family."

Tian Yumei just smiled, but in her heart she was already extremely disappointed in Qiu Tianlei.

Seeing that Yu Mei looked exhausted, Song Miqiu left after sitting for only a short while.

He kept giving his daughter-in-law instructions as he left.

"Your mother will stay in the outer room. If anything happens, just call for your mother."

Not wanting to disappoint her mother, Tian Yumei forced a smile.

"I understand, Mother. You should go to sleep now."

What Tian Yumei didn't know was that Qiu Tianlei had been guarding the door all night, but he was too ashamed to go inside.

Even though it was late at night, the light was still on in Yu Huailin's study.

It turns out that ever since Song Miqiu experienced the assassination attempt, Yu Huailin has been worried and has been sending his people to secretly investigate the matter.

But after two or three attempts, there was still no progress.

Just then, the bodyguard came in to report.

"Reporting to Master, the other side is far too vigilant. Every time we manage to follow them, we are discovered as soon as we get close, so we haven't made any progress so far."

Yu Huailin pulled a long face and said, "Useless thing."

They naturally knew that the other side was powerful, and the secret guards they simply sent were no match for them, so it's no wonder they were discovered.

Just then, Song Miqiu got up in the middle of the night and noticed the light on in the study. Out of curiosity, he went inside.

I happened to witness this scene and was deeply moved.

The guards were still in the study, and Song Miqiu did not express anything to Huailin.

From their conversation, Song Miqiu got the gist of it, and inadvertently thought of Liu Xiaoyue's matter again.

Fortunately, all the secret guards were here, saving Song Miqiu the trouble of going to them to investigate Liu Xiaoyue.

"Since you can't find out anything about this, why don't you help me find someone?"

Finding someone is much simpler than taking revenge.

"You name who you're looking for, and this time, we brothers will definitely get it done."

Liu Xiaoyue was an old acquaintance of the secret guards; they had followed her several times and knew her just by hearing her name, without even looking at her portrait.

"It's easy to find her; I'll definitely give you a reply by this time tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, the guard left the study.

At this point, only Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin remained in the study.

Yu Huailin, recalling yesterday's events, asked, "Has Qiu Tianlei been in contact with Liu Xiaoyue again?"

Song Miqiu was still furious when he brought it up at this time.

"This time, Liu Xiaoyue contacted Qiu Tianlei privately, and Qiu Tianlei took her in. She's staying at this house."

Song Miqiu didn't mention it, and Yu Huailin didn't even realize it.

"This Liu Xiaoyue is incredibly audacious; a woman like that is a menace wherever she goes."

Song Miqiu sighed, "I'm afraid that Yu Mei and Tian Lei will have a falling out because of this. Their child has just been born, and they can't just break up their family like this."

Yu Huailin knew that Song Miqiu was a worrier, "Let's both pay more attention to these things in the future, and find Liu Xiaoyue first."

"Mmm," Song Miqiu replied, as this was the only option at the moment.

After saying that, Song Miqiu yawned. He was exhausted from running back and forth between the palace and his home during the day.

Seeing Song Miqiu in this state, Yu Huailin felt sorry for her and could only tell her to go back and rest.
