Qiu Ruoruo helped Yu Zhi up, the anger in her heart wanted to overflow from her eyes. My brother was bullied twice in one day.

What is intolerable is unbearable.

What Monse said makes sense. Not only him, but everyone in the mission had an accident. The Prairie Wolf Court would not let it go, and neither would the Great Chu Dynasty.

Yu Zhi also felt that today was pretty bad. He was shackled and beaten, both in public. He sometimes feels quite embarrassed.

There are always people watching the excitement, even in front of the Qiu Mansion on Baihu Avenue.

"Of course, foreign visitors cannot be killed. But beating them up should be okay."

Yu Zhiyi spoke righteously and felt that the people opposite were very arrogant, so he drew his sword in front of the Qiu Mansion.

Qiu Ruoruo nodded seriously, "Mengsi has repeatedly provoked me and insulted my reputation. The Qiu Mansion cannot bear it."

Ye Qinghuan retracted his sword, since beating and killing are completely different concepts.



At night, Yu Zhi was called over. The person calling him was the old man of the Qiu family, Qiu Ruoruo's grandfather Qiu Jinfeng. After staying in Qiu Mansion for many days, this was the first time he saw Qiu Jinfeng. He remembered that Qiu Ruoruo had a fight with Qiu Jinfeng because of him when he first entered the mansion.

How much you look down on yourself.

Yu Zhi followed Qiu An to meet Qiu Jinfeng nonchalantly. The three of them lived in the guest room in the west courtyard, while Qiu Jinfeng lived in the small courtyard in the east.

"Grandpa An led me like this in Prince Zhao's Mansion." Yu Zhi said suddenly.

Qiu An, who was walking in front, paused in his steps. He was also an extremely smart person, the type who became mature with age. After hearing what Yu Zhi said, Qiu An understood what Yu Zhi was thinking.

"Master Yu, I still can't say anything."

Yu Zhi came close to Qiu An's ear and whispered: "Grandpa An told me that no other person will know about this. And I have always been very strict with my words."

Qiu An bowed her body and still shook her head.

Seeing this, Yu Zhi no longer persisted in asking, but the matter of being beaten up and then abandoning the "corpse" in the wilderness was not just a matter of letting go.

Qiu Jinfeng is already an octogenarian. His gray hair, gray beard, thin body, and shriveled skin all indicate that this elder in the court will leave in a few years.

When Yu Zhi arrived, Qiu Jinfeng was sleeping, covered with a soft down quilt, and there was a small stove beside him. It's not too late, but old people always get sleepy earlier.

Qiu An woke up Qiu Jinfeng, opened her dry eyelids, and looked at the young boy in front of her.

"Yu Zhi, are you here?" The weak voice sounded like Qiu Jinfeng had exhausted all his strength.

Yu Zhi naturally said yes.

"You came to Qiu Mansion a few days ago. I'm ill. If there's anything I haven't taken care of, just tell Qiu An, or tell Ruoruo, don't treat yourself like an outsider." Qiu Jinfeng said, as if Yu Zhi looked like a junior he cared about.

Yu Zhi thought to himself: "You really don't treat me as an outsider, and you still let me go through the back door of Qiu Mansion?"

After Qiu Jinfeng finished speaking, he remained silent and closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep again. Yu didn't know what Qiu Jinfeng meant by calling him over. He felt tired after standing for a while, so he found a recliner from somewhere and placed it on the other side of the stove, imitating Qiu Jinfeng's example and lying down.

This location is excellent, you can see the stars when you lie down.

Qiu An stood on one side, saying nothing or stopping him, just watching Yu Zhi fiddle with himself.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yu Zhi felt sleepy and thought, could she sleep here with the old man tonight?

Suddenly, a sound like snoring suddenly pulled Yu Zhi back to the waking world.

"Why did your kid fall asleep?"

Yu Zhi, who was half asleep and half awake, was puzzled as to how Qiu Jinfeng could come from this sober and energetic voice.

At a glance, Qiu Jinfeng had his hands in front of him and was full of energy. He looked nothing like the old man who might have died just now while sleeping.

"Get up, the elders are waiting for your reply, how can you fall asleep?"

Yu Zhi sat up, glanced at the smiling Qiu An, and then at Qiu Jinfeng, feeling deeply that he had been tricked by Qiu Jinfeng.

Yu Zhi saluted, turned around and walked out the door after doing all this. What Yu Zhi can't stand the most is old naughty boys and naughty children. As a shame for asking, he felt that he should not coddle the other person.

The two old men stared at Yu Zhiyuan's retreating figure. Neither of them expected that Yu Zhi had such a temperament.

"Why is this kid so ungrateful?" Qiu Jinfeng secretly asked.

Seeing Qiu Jinfeng's depressed expression, Qiu An said, "Master Xiao Yu is usually very polite, but tonight... he must be hungry tonight."

Qiu An thought about it for a while and racked her brains before coming up with this excuse. Qiu Jinfeng would do this every time, but Yu Zhi's casualness made the two old men over fifty dumbfounded.

Qiu Jinfeng had a cold face, as if Yu Zhi's casualness just now had offended him. Qiu An has also been waiting for Qiu Jinfeng's instructions. After a long time, Qiu Jinfeng laughed loudly, and then said: "Go and call him over again, and let someone make him something to eat."

Qiu An chased after Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi didn't seem to hear Qiu An's shout and still walked towards his room, knowing that Qiu An was blocking him.

"Grandpa An, what's the matter?" Yu Zhixiang said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, as if it was the first time he saw Qiu An tonight.

Qiu An didn't care and said, "The old man asked Master Yu to go back."

Yu Zhi was not reluctant, and after hearing this, he followed Qiu An, as if he were meeting Qiu Jinfeng for the first time, and followed Qiu An leisurely.

In the east courtyard, Qiu Jinfeng had already gotten up from the recliner, wearing white silk underwear and a black velvet robe. Velvet robes are valuable, and white silk is also valuable.

He was sitting at a round table with two steaming bowls of noodles in clear soup. Qiu Jinfeng didn't wait for Yu Zhi. He ate half of the big bowl of noodles and made a slurping sound in his mouth.

Qiu Jinfeng did not greet Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi sat directly opposite Qiu Jinfeng, looked at the two small green vegetables on the noodles, and then picked up his chopsticks to rummage through them.

Whooping, Yu Zhi complained after finishing the meal, "There isn't even any shredded meat, and the clear soup has little water. It's really disappointing."

Qiu Jinfeng ate slowly and still had half a bowl left.

"The old man likes it lighter." Qiu An explained.

Yu Zhi didn't care. After eating, he quietly waited for Qiu Jinfeng to slowly finish the remaining noodles.

"Master Li asked you to go down the mountain, which is an unusual thing." Qiu Jinfeng finished eating and wiped his mouth and said.

Li Qingru's title of National Scholar is very famous and carries weight. Although he has no official rank, he will be treated politely by the civil servants and generals in Kyoto, and of course there are some who don't care.

Qiu Jinfeng is a generation older than Li Qingru, but he still calls Li Qingru his master. He really admires Li Qingru.

Yu Zhi opened his mouth and said: "My aunt has to let me pass the college entrance examination before I can go down the mountain. This time is indeed quite strange."

Qiu Jinfeng stared at Yu Zhi, with a faint smile on his lips. This look made Yu Zhi's back shiver. Every word spoken by an old fox like Qiu Jinfeng, who has been in official circles for a long time, may seem ordinary, but in fact it has a meaning.

But young Yu Zhi couldn't figure it out or guess it.

Qiu Jinfeng added: "I saw you were very well-behaved when you were a child. When you grow up, you become more casual, which is also good."

Yu Zhi heard this in confusion, thinking that he was talking about when Li Qingru was teaching in Qiu Mansion, but at that time Yu Zhi did not remember seeing such an old man.

"I guess he's just confused." Yu Zhi thought to himself.

"You shouldn't go down the mountain at this time."

Qiu Jinfeng's somewhat unclear words made Yu Zhi feel confused at first, and then frowned tightly. Noodle soup should not be intoxicating, so why are you talking about drinking?

Qiu Jinfeng looked at Yu Zhi, with a trace of inexplicable pity flashing in his eyes.

"I heard from Qiu An that you disappeared in Prince Zhao's Mansion a few days ago and were kidnapped. Ruorona girl has been running around for several days about this matter and has lost some weight. At this time, she should have been staring at the north. Those little wolves shouldn't worry about your affairs." Qiu Jinfeng's words were very unkind, and he also showed a lot of dissatisfaction with Qiu Ruoruo's performance these days.

"Qiuqiu..."

"Who is Qiuqiu?"

"Well, Qiuqiu is Ruoruo."

Qiu Jinfeng said "oh".

"Qiuqiu, worry about me. I'm very grateful." Yu Zhi was naturally very grateful to Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan. "Words cannot express feelings, but the mind is at ease and normal."

Qiu Jinfeng nodded, feeling that Yu Zhi's words made sense. All words are inferior to what we do on a daily basis. Yu Zhi suddenly changed the subject and said, "But what does all this have to do with the old man?"

Snapped!

His thin palms slapped on the table, making the white porcelain dishes and chopsticks rattle.

"Presumptuous!" Qiu Jinfeng said. The voice was not loud, but the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time was like a fierce tiger that pounced on Yu Zhi. For a while, the wind and snow outside the house started to rise slightly.

Yu Zhi heard the sound and trembled all over. He jumped up from his stool and looked at Qiu Jinfeng innocently. He felt he was just telling the truth. After all, Yu Zhi is only an eighteen-year-old boy, not very young. The most severe thing he hears all day long is Li Qingru's reprimand. He has never seen such momentum.

The two of them were silent to each other. Yu Zhi glanced at Qiu An for help, but Qiu An ignored him.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After ten breaths, Yu Zhi's trembling lips finally returned to normal.

"Then the old man thinks this matter has something to do with you?" Yu Zhi asked bravely. He was also afraid that the master would chop him down when he got angry. In this deep house and compound, it is inevitable that one person will be missing. Later, I thought about it, this Master wanted him to die, and he couldn't hide no matter where he was.

"Ruoruo is using Qiu Mansion's prestige and power."

Yu Zhi nodded and did not deny it. "I heard that Qiuqiu borrowed dozens of people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. I'm afraid there are so many people who can't even search the entire Qiu Mansion compound."

Yu Zhi was grateful to Qiu Ruoruo, not the Qiu family. If something else must be involved, Yu Zhi would not admit it.
