Back in the main house, Qia Zi had finally stopped crying and was currently sobbing silently, clinging on to General Qia.Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard.
" Ahem, the Young Lord Of The Ming House has arrived!" A dignified, strict looking man stepped into the Main House. His face covered with a mask. General Qia"s face immediately turned black as he stood up in respect, gesturing his wife and daughter to follow suit.
" Good Morning," The man simply said before giving himself permission to sit down.
Without a word, General Qia sat down, silently questioning what he had done to incur a visit from the Ming family"s Lord, Ming Yao. He had made sure that the death of Ming Jie looked like an accident, did Ming Yao find out?
Ming Yao took his time to settle into his seat before asking a simple question that placed General Qia into a frenzy, " Where is my sister"s daughter?"
General Qia nervously wiped off beads of perspiration and swallowed his saliva, thinking of a quick excuse.
" Answer me!" Ming Yao cruelly questioned, " Where is she! Qia Qi, answer me. You couldn"t even protect my sister and when I want to see my niece, you can"t tell me where she is?"
General Qia shivered at the sound of his name. With his head bowed, he carefully replied, " After her mother pa.s.sed and I took the current Madam Qia as my legitimate wife, she was difficult and ran away."

Ming Yao laughed with a hint of sarcasm. Ran away? Qia Yun was too sensible to be difficult. But, this father, immediately after his wife dies, marries a new one so quickly! What a joke!
" Is that so? Well then, I trust that you have sent men to look for her?" Ming Yao crafted his words perfectly.
General Qia nodded his head furiously, he knew that the Ming Family could not be angered. He seriously regretted killing Qia Yun. If he knew the consequences of killing them, he would have thought twice before acting.
All of a sudden, Qia Zi interrupted the conversation with her high pitched voice, " Oh, Qia Yun isn"t a part of this family anymore! She has been done away with! I am the only legitimate daughter of General Qia! So if you are her b.a.s.t.a.r.d mother"s brother, then you can get lost!"
Madam Qia"s eyes widened, did Qia Zi not know who this powerful man is? She pulled Qia Zi away and apologised profusely towards Ming Yao.
To ease the atmosphere, General Qia invited Ming Yao to stay overnight as it had turned dark and it was dangerous to travel at such a timing, Ming Yao although unhappy, accepted.
As Ming Yao was escorted to the guest quarters, General Qia led his family into the study, anxious to discuss what to do next.
