Chapter 394 Returning to Beijing
"Just a hair's breadth away! Just a hair's breadth away! Otherwise, you would already be dead by my hand!"
Yang Qian knelt on the ground, a cold smile on his face, his tone revealing undisguised regret.
"Why did you want to hurt me?" Song Siyao asked.
"You've been running rampant and arrogant in the academy. I've disliked you for a long time. I'm going to act on behalf of Heaven and rid the people of this scourge!" Yang Qian said indignantly.
Upon hearing this excuse, Song Siyao immediately recognized it as fabricated. "Yang Qian, as the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, your lying skills are lacking. Did your master order you to do this?"
Yang Qian's expression changed slightly, but he instantly regained his composure. "I have no master! I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"Tell me, is your backbone harder, or Tong Liangyue's? Tong Liangyue has already confessed, can you withstand it? Even if you can withstand it, what about your family?" Song Siyao's voice was cold and sharp.
In an instant, Yang Qian's pupils dilated, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
His eyes were fierce. "Song Siyao, you are despicable and shameless! You dare to harm my family! I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
"I was merely giving him a taste of his own medicine, why are you reacting so strongly?" Song Siyao said sarcastically.
Yang Qian was speechless.
"Yaoyao, take him back for questioning," Shen Pei said.
"Okay." Song Si shook his head. "Take them all back!"
When Song Siyao and the others returned to the capital, it was already dark.
She took Song Nianze back to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence to see Mu Zhaozhao, while Shen Pei escorted Yang Qian into the palace to see Emperor Changlong.
"Ze'er!"
When Mu Zhaozhao saw Song Nianze, she hugged him tightly and called out to him softly.
She examined Song Nianze's body and asked anxiously, "Did they hit you? Are you hurt? Were you frightened?"
“Mother, don’t worry, they didn’t hit Ze’er, Ze’er wasn’t hurt, and they didn’t scare Ze’er.”
Song Nianze raised his little hand to wipe away the tears from Mu Zhaozhao's eyes, comforting her in his childish voice.
Seeing Mu Zhaozhao's sad expression, he felt extremely distressed.
"Mother, it's all Ze'er's fault. I'm the one who made you worry."
Hearing Song Nianze comforting her, Mu Zhaozhao felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
She is the mother; it is her responsibility to protect and comfort Song Nianze.
She forced back her tears, managed a smile, and hugged Song Nianze tightly once more, saying, "Good boy, Ze'er."
“Sister-in-law, Ze’er is very brave. He faced the kidnappers without fear and didn’t shed a single tear,” Song Siyao said.
Mu Zhaozhao hugged Song Nianze even tighter.
Her son was so young and had suffered such a terrible fate; she was determined to bring the thief to his knees.
"Yaoyao, who kidnapped Ze'er?"
"Yang Qian".
"Yang Qian? Yang Qian, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy?" Mu Zhaozhao's surprise was no less than when Song Siyao first discovered Yang Qian's identity.
“Yes, it’s him,” Song Siyao said. “Sister-in-law, let Ze’er eat something first. I’m going to take him to interrogate Yang Qian in a little while.”
"Ze'er went to interrogate Yang Qian?" Mu Zhaozhao asked, puzzled and surprised.
“Yes, it’s about being an observer, so that Ze’er can see the bad guys get punished with his own eyes,” Song Siyao explained.
"Ze'er, are you sure you can do it?" Mu Zhaozhao asked with concern, worried that she might leave a psychological scar on Song Nianze.
“Mother, Ze’er can do it.” Song Nianze looked mature for his age, like a little adult. “The most direct and effective way to drive away nightmares is to shatter them with your own hands.”
In that instant, he saw the shadow of Song Pingwei.
A pang of sadness welled up in Song Siyao's heart, but she was also filled with relief.
Mu Zhaozhao's eyes reddened again. She once again thanked herself for her courage in keeping Song Nianze.
"Someone, go to the kitchen and bring up the prepared food," Mu Zhaozhao ordered.
She was worried that Song Nianze would go hungry, so she had already asked the kitchen to prepare food for him.
No matter when Song Nianze returns, there will always be food.
"Ze'er, tell your mother, what happened today? Where are the steward and the coachman?" Mu Zhaozhao asked.
"The butler was killed, and the coachman betrayed us." Song Nianze told Mu Zhaozhao about his kidnapping that day.
He finished school, and as usual, the housekeeper came to pick him up today.
After the carriage had been traveling for a while, a mist of intoxication filled the carriage. When he and the steward woke up, they had already arrived at Tiger Roaring Mountain.
It was only then that he realized the coachman had betrayed him.
The butler tried to save him, but was killed by Yang Qian.
"That damned coachman! I've always treated him well, but I never expected him to be such an ungrateful dog!" Mu Zhaozhao said angrily.
“The coachman is dead, but the steward is a loyal servant,” Song Siyao added.
"Someone, throw the coachman's family out. As for the steward's family, I will compensate them with silver and help them more in the future," Mu Zhaozhao ordered.
After Song Nianze finished eating, Song Siyao took him away.
