The stepmother would certainly not treat him well, saying that once Mu Shu had her own son, there would be no place for him in the family. Qiu Anxin, harboring resentment, seized the moment when Mu Shu was stepping down and pushed her from behind.
Although the Household Physician was called in time, the child could not be saved. Mu Shu also suffered physical harm from the miscarriage and could no longer bear children of her own. A series of blows drove her to madness, leading her to kidnap Qiu An in a bid for revenge against Qiu Qinrui.
"Mu Shu, let go of Qi'er!" Qiu Qinrui's face darkened as he attempted to approach, but Mu Shu shouted at him to stop. "Stay where you are!"
With a twisted expression, Mu Shu exclaimed, "Qiu Qinrui, that is your own son! Are you really that heartless?"
Qiu Qinrui furrowed his brow. "Let the child go. If you have something to say, come at me."
Suddenly, Mu Shu laughed, her eyes filled with derision. "Ha! You truly are cold-blooded. No, you've always been cold-blooded. Ever since that wretched woman left, you've grown even colder, not even sparing me a smile."
Qiu Qinrui pressed his lips together. "Mu Shu, I don't want to waste words with you. Just release Qi'er and we can go back to how things were."
Mu Shu scoffed. "Do you think I would still believe your lies?"
"You never intended to keep my child; you've been deceiving me all along!"
Qiu Qinrui's patience was wearing thin. "Mu Shu, that child is the result of your affair with the stableman from the Mu Family. I didn't want to hold it against you, but how far will you go?"
Surprised that Qiu Qinrui knew the truth and had exposed her publicly, Mu Shu panicked for a moment before her gaze turned increasingly venomous.
Furiously pointing at me, she began to scream in despair: "It's all your fault! You took everything from me, you wretched woman!"
In her emotional frenzy, she accidentally cut Qiu An's neck during her wild gestures, blood immediately gushing forth.
"Mother, save me!" Qiu An cried out in terror as he sought my help. I was startled and instinctively moved to rush forward, but Qiu Qinrui was faster than I.
Caught off guard, Mu Shu found herself pushed aside as Qiu An was yanked away by Qiu Qinrui. Just as he intended to subdue Mu Shu, she suddenly summoned an unexpected strength and wildly raised a knife toward him.
Qiu Qinrui did not anticipate her sudden madness and could not evade in time; he was stabbed and blood soaked through his blue brocade robe as he collapsed unconscious.
Panic ensued among everyone present as Qiu Qinrui was rushed back to the Qiu Residence, where the Household Physician worked diligently to treat him in his chamber.
After a long wait, the Household Physician finally emerged. He said, "Fortunately, although the dagger pierced in, it did not damage the heart. Just be careful and take good care of yourself."
I let out a sigh of relief. Qiu An stood nearby, his face pale. I walked over, comfortingly ruffled his hair, and held him in my arms.
"You're scared, aren't you?"
Qiu An burst into tears in my embrace, crying heart-wrenchingly. He choked out, "Mother, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. I shouldn't have doubted you. Mother, please come back. I promise I won't do it again."
I sighed softly and reassured him, "It's okay. Mother doesn't blame you."
A few days later, Qiu Qinrui woke up. After examining him, the Household Physician said there were no major issues, but he still needed to pay attention to his vitality.
The Qiu Family had completely severed ties with the Mu Family, canceling all business dealings and collaborations with them. The Mu Family was forced to source goods from elsewhere at high prices, but a large shipment was intercepted by Mountain Bandits on its way back, leading to delays in delivery and ultimately resulting in a significant loss of clientele.
