“Uncle Qiu, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Zeyu quickly walked over to help First Father Qiu up. Xiaoying also asked him with a concerned look.

“Uncle Qiu, are you sick too? Let the military doctor take a look!”

First Father Qiu looked at Xiaoying suspiciously. He didn’t understand the situation for a moment and was so scared that he didn’t dare speak.

“It’s all my fault. 1 was too anxious about Su Qing’s attack. 1 didn’t take good care of Aunt Qiu and didn’t care enough about your family. Uncle Qiu, don’t blame me.”

Xiao Zeyu apologized to First Father with a face full of remorse.

“Your hands are so cold. Come in quickly. It’s cold outside.”

Xiao Zeyu held his hand and helped him into the house with a concerned expression.

Father Qiu kept looking at Xiao Zeyu and Xiaoying, not daring to say anything immediately. Seeing how concerned Xiao Zeyu was about him, Xiaoying also looked at him worriedly. Father Qiu put down the fear in his heart and immediately put on a sorrowful face. He sighed heavily,

“I’m fine. Your Auntie Qiu has heart palpitations. The doctor said it was dire.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. When Su Qing wakes up, I’ll ask her if she has a prescription for heart palpitations.”

Xiao Zeyu deliberately mentioned Su Qing to comfort First Father Qiu, but First Father Qiu’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t respond.

Xiaoying was the first to enter the house. When she saw Auntie Qiu looking at her nervously, Xiaoying ran into the house and held Auntie Qiu’s hand.

“Aunt Qiu, are you feeling better? 1 was worried that you would faint in the toilet, so 1 went to look for you. I didn’t see you, and 1 was so anxious. Fortunately, you were fine. If something happened to you, no one would dote on me.”

Xiaoying’s eyes reddened as she spoke. She was despondent. The good scenes that Auntie Qiu had treated her in the past flashed before her eyes. She was sad that she could not return to the past.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Seeing that Xiaoying was so distressed that she was crying, Auntie Qiu was also touched. She raised her hand and gently patted Xiaoying’s hand. If possible, she still hoped that Xiaoying would be her daughter-in-law.

“Aunt Qiu, you should take care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about Su Qing’s matters.”

Xiao Zeyu walked into the house with First Father Qiu and said to Auntie Qiu with concern.

“Alright, then I won’t go.”

Aunt Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to stay there to take care of Su Qing. If those killers came, they would kill her.

“Let Xiaoying stay and take care of me!”

Aunt Qiu also couldn’t bear to see Xiaoying harmed by those assassins, so she begged Xiao Zeyu to let her stay. It would be fine after tonight. After tonight, Su Qing would see the King of Hell, and those assassins would return home.

She had completed the task her son had given her and even helped him protect Xiaoying.

As for Li Shuang’er, Auntie Qiu’s eyes flashed with guilt. Who asked her to take care of that she-devil, Su Qing? The’ Assassin’ wouldn’t have to kill her if she hadn’t gone. She couldn’t care less!

Xiaoying hesitated momentarily, then said to Auntie Qiu with a troubled expression.

“Aunt, Sister Su Qing can’t do without people.”

“Old woman, you’ll be fine after drinking the medicine. Don’t delay Xiaoying from taking care of Su Qing.”

First Father Qiu glared at Auntie Qiu. How was he going to deliver the letter if Xiaoying stayed? This girl was not the same as before. She was not so innocent. What if he was discovered?

Besides, this girl could not be kept. In the future, Yongkang and Shuisheng would be enemies. What if the sister who married him was a traitor?

Aunt Qiu was glared at by her husband, who knew she was too soft-hearted. She couldn’t bear to see Xiaoying being killed by an assassin. Her eyes were filled with heartache and conflict.

Old Master Qiu, who was in the east room, listened attentively to the conversation in the west room. Confusion flashed across his turbid eyes. For the first time, he was not sure of his guess.

Xiao Zeyu stayed in the west room for a while before coming to the east room to see the old man. He was still as respectful to the old man as in the Peach Blossom Cove.

“Grandpa Qiu, are you feeling better? Do you want me to get a military doctor to take your pulse?”

“I’m much better. 1 don’t need it.”

Old Master Qiu had been observing Xiao Zeyu’s expression the entire time. He noticed that he was showing him much respect, just like before. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly?

Otherwise, if Xiaoying heard their conversation, how could Shuisheng still respect him as much as before?

“How is Su Qing?”

Old Master Qiu deliberately brought up Su Qing and stared into Xiao Zeyu’s eyes.

“Her injuries are severe, and she has been unconscious for a long time. I have already sent people to look for the divine doctor.”

Xiao Zeyu clenched his fists tightly at the mention of Su Qing, his eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

“You don’t have to worry too much. Heaven will help the good. Su Qing will be fine.”

Seeing Xiao Zeyu’s expression, Old Master Qiu’s suspicion disappeared utterly. He had always valued Su Qing. If he knew that his family had harmed Su Qing, he would disregard his past feelings and arrest him. Why would he still chat with him like this?

Yongkang and he grew up together like brothers, and when he knew that he had made a mistake, he would immediately turn hostile, so Shuisheng did not know.

Xiao Zeyu saw Old Master Qiu staring at him, his eyes darting back and forth. He felt despondent. It seemed like Old Master Qiu wasn’t keeping himself out of trouble.

The selfless old man had changed!

Aunt Li wanted to see Su Qing but was tactfully rejected by Xiao Zeyu. Aunt Qiu and Father Qiu looked at each other. Did Shuisheng not want more people to know where Su Qing was hiding?

After leaving the Qiu family, Xiao Zeyu and Xiaoying were in low spirits and did not say a word.

Aunt Li couldn’t go to see Su Qing, so she helped take care of Aunt Qiu at the Qiu family. Aunt Qiu said she wanted to sleep and asked her to return first. After Aunt Li left, Aunt Qiu and Qiu’s father talked for a long time, but they still didn’t feel confident. Qiu’s father ran to the east room to ask his father for advice.

“Father, 1 think Xiaoying didn’t hear our conversation.”

Old Master Qiu hesitated. He wasn’t sure, but he still had some doubts. He advised his son.

“I think it’s best to stay put and observe for two days.”

“Father, 1 can’t wait for even a day. I can’t wait for that she-devil to die now. Besides, if the people from the imperial court find Su Qing in a few days, how can Yongkang still contribute? This was his best chance to gain the trust of the Emperor.”

In the end, Father Qiu still wanted to go all out. Although his heart had been panicking and his right eyelid kept twitching, he still felt uneasy. However, when he thought of his son’s meritorious service and the Emperor’s trust, he feared those killers would find out where Su Qing was hiding. Then, wouldn’t they be useless?

“Haste makes waste. Don’t get yourself involved.”

Shuisheng still respected him as much as before, so Old Master Qiu was conflicted. On one hand, he was worried about his grandson’s future, and on the other, he was concerned about their relationship. Choosing was tough, and he wanted to persuade his son to stop.

“I’m not afraid. 1 even dreamed of Qiu Yue begging me to avenge her last night. Father, don’t try to persuade me anymore. This is already the beginning. I want to help my son achieve success.”

Father Qiu’s eyes flashed with madness. As long as Su Qing died, he would have his revenge, and his son would have a future. Even if he died, it would be worth it.

Old Master Qiu sighed heavily and closed his eyes, no longer trying to stop his son.

Night gradually came, and the northern wind raged wildly. At midnight, the Qiu family’s door quietly opened..
