Qin Shu was incredulous. There was someone who doted on his daughter to such an extent?

  If it was true and Long Xiaoxiao had inherited the position of the leader, then…


  At this time, Haoze said again, “Long size has been bedridden for such a long time, and his body was unable to function. If Long Xiaoxiao has other motives to inherit the position of the leader, then Miao Xin might have a change of heart.”


  Hao Ze was not joking. Long Xiaoxiao’s appearance was too sudden. It could be said that there was no warning sign at all.

  There was no news of the young daughter, but her daughter appeared. She did not even know who her biological father was.

  Moreover, this Long Xiaoxiao was brought back by Yang Jin and his father, Yang Quan.

  Qin Shu thought of what Haoze thought of too. Therefore, before she knew Long Xiaoxiao’s purpose, she did not dare to expose her identity easily.

  “Then how confident are you?” Haoze said, “Fifty per cent.” Fifty per cent. The failure rate was very high.

  “I got a feeling that if you disclose her when you are not very confident, you might be bitten back.” Qin Shu said in a serious tone.

  “I can’t care so much. I can’t let this happen.” Haoze had prepared for the worst, so he was fearless.

  Qin Shu was just an outsider, so she might not understand why Haoze would be so impulsive and care so much.

  “Then be careful. Try to think of a way out.”


  Haoze nodded. “Okay.”


  Haoze went back to prepare for tomorrow.

  Qin Shu counted the days. It had been a while since she came to Miao Capital. With a man’s character, he would be impatient to wait.

  Perhaps, he suspected that she was even lying about her relationship with him.

  After thinking for a while, she dialled Ye Luo’s contact.

  “Go to Kuai Yi village and tell him that I can’t go back for the time being.”


  “Okay.” Ye Luo hung up the phone and immediately left Kuai Yi village with President Ba.

  Qin Shu hung up the phone and thought about Haoze’s plan. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, the banquet would be chaotic.

  She couldn’t understand it either. Long Size doted on his daughter since she was young, even if she had run away from home because of the engagement.

  It had been so many years, yet she hadn’t come back once.

  Didn’t she miss her family?

  Qin Shu was not the person so she didn’t know what the person was thinking. Perhaps, she had been delayed by some matters.

  Just like her mother, she had lost her memory, which was why she hadn’t come back to look for her. And she thought that her mother had passed away unexpectedly.

  She walked towards the sunken wood courtyard.

  It was dinner time when she was going to the sunken wood courtyard.

  Ever since Long Muyan had his hair cut, people in the garden noticed that he had changed a lot, and his long bangs before looked a little gloomy.

  Now, the maids who delivered the food could not help but take a few more glances.

  When Qin Shu walked in, she saw the maids placing the bowls and chopsticks, and looking at Long Muyan on the dining table from time to time.

  Long Muyan was fiddling with the utensils.

  Ever since Long Muyan gave her the early stages of the rebellion, she felt that he was a high-level Gu Master, but no one in the Long family knew.

  Except for Haoze.

  Otherwise, he would not have said that he wanted to try it on Long Muyan. The maid took the plate and walked out when she saw someone enter.

  When Qin Shu came in, Long Muyan heard footsteps, he put down the utensils and returned them to their original position.

  When she raised her head, Qin Shu had walked to the table and sat down. She lowered her head and looked at the food in front of her. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Have you eaten?”


  Qin Shu shook her head. “Not yet.”


  “Then let’s eat together.” Long Muyan picked up an empty bowl and scooped a bowl of white rice for her. He placed it in front of her, took out a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her.

  When Qin Shu took the chopsticks, she sized up Long Muyan in front of her. She realized that he had changed quite a lot. He would take the initiative to speak and ask questions. Now, he even took the initiative to invite her for a meal.

  It seemed that bringing him out for a walk would be beneficial.

  She lowered her head and ate two mouthfuls of rice. She raised her head to look at Long Muyan. He was eating quietly too. She said, “Haoze wants to take advantage of the banquet tomorrow to disclose that Long Xiaoxiao is not Long Sizhe’s granddaughter.” Long Muyan suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Shu and asked, “Does he have evidence?” “I don’t know either. He came to tell me today. I told him to be careful so that he wouldn’t get himself involved if he couldn’t disclose the truth about Long Xiaoxiao.”


  Qin Shu thought of Long Xiaoxiao. It was too difficult without sufficient evidence.

  Long Muyan pursed his lips and suddenly remembered something. He said, “There’s a photo of my aunt in my grandfather’s room.”


  “I got it.” It would be much easier to do things with a photo. Tonight, she would sneak into Long Sizhe’s room and take a photo of his daughter. That way, it would be easier to find someone.

  Until now, she still did not know the name of Long Siye’s daughter.

  “What is the name of your sister-in-law?”


  Long Muyan said, “Long Ziling.” Ziling was a name of Chinese medicinal herb. The word “Ling” meant that the plants were lush and luxuriant. At the same time, the word also had the meaning of prosperity and vitality.

  It could be seen from the name how much Long Siye doted on his daughter.

  Qin Shu left the sunken wood courtyard after dinner.

  Before she left, Long Muyan wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Qin Shu saw that he had something to ask. “If you have any questions, just ask. There’s no need to think so much.”


  Long Muyan pursed his lips and asked, “Are you going to my grandfather’s room?”


  Qin Shu nodded. “Yes. If I don’t go in, how will I see Long Ziling’s photo?” Long Muyan reminded her in a low voice, “Then be careful. There’s a Gu poison in my grandfather’s room.”


  Qin Shu thought of the two inseparable Gu worms that Long Muyan had given her. They looked quite nice.

  “Is there any difference between Gu poison and Gu Worms?”


  Long Muyan replied, “Gu poison is the same as poison.”


  This was the first time Qin Shu had heard of Gu Poison. It was probably a poisonous worm according to Long Muyan’s explanation. “I understand. I’ll be careful.”


  After saying that, Qin Shu left the sunken wood courtyard.

  Long Muyan looked at Qin Shu’s back as she left, he was still worried.

  In the dead of night, Qin Shu changed into a set of black plain clothes, she opened the door and walked out.

  She heard of the courtyard where Long Size lived. It was Fuqing courtyard.

  Because she had seen the topographic map of the long manor before, she knew the exact location of the Fuqing courtyard.

  Long Size was bedridden, and there would always be a guard in the courtyard.

  The huge Fuqing courtyard had bright red lanterns hanging high up, but it was very quiet.

  Qin Shu squatted on the top of the wall and looked at the guard in the courtyard. She stood there motionless like a clock.

  She could not enter through the front door, so she could only go through the window.

  She jumped down from the top of the wall and leaned against the corner of the wall, coming to the window quietly. Because it was winter, the windows were usually closed tightly.

  Long Size was a patient, and he was afraid of the cold in his old age. The air-conditioning was on in the room, so the windows must have been closed more tightly.

  Qin Shu looked at a balcony that was less than five meters away from the window. She recalled the topographic design drawings, the balcony should be connected to the living room.

  She lowered her body and quickly walked to the balcony. When she arrived, she grabbed the railing of the balcony with one hand and nimbly turned her body over.
