“I can’t sleep. I’m thinking about something.” Shi He leaned against the white fence and drank the red wine in his glass gloomily.

Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Thinking about something or someone?”

Shi He was slightly stunned before he lowered his head helplessly and smiled.

“I can’t hide anything from you.”

Shi Man said expressionlessly, “1 guessed blindly.”

Shi He was speechless.

He turned around and leaned against the railing, his expression even more melancholic.

Shi Man sized up his expression carefully. No matter how she looked at it, he looked like a young girl in love. Her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. She leaned over and asked, “Brother, which girl do you like?”

“Hey! Don’t say that!” Shi He was so shocked that he couldn’t even hold the glass in his hand. The glass fell downstairs, and the wine in the glass spilled all over the ground.

Butler Qi, who was about to open the window, hurriedly retracted his hand in fear. The cup shattered, and glass flew everywhere.

The butler looked upstairs in fear and realized that Shi He and Shi Man were above. He hurriedly patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. I thought someone came to attack at night!”

Shi He hurriedly apologized to the butler and used the excuse of going downstairs to help pack to escape from Shi Man’s interrogation.

Shi Man looked at his fleeing figure and found it funny. Her brothers usually looked very mature and handsome, but they had almost never been in a relationship. All of them were as pure as young men who had just fallen in love in junior high.

She shook her head helplessly and smiled. She leaned on the armrest and looked down. She could see Shi He’s still red ears and smiled. “Uncle Qi, you’re too careful. Who dares to attack the Shi family at night?”

Butler Qi was busy cleaning up the broken glass on the ground. On the one hand, he had to be careful not to hurt Shi He’s hand, and on the other hand, he had to find time to answer Shi Man.

He did not think that this was a burden. Instead, he felt that there was a need to make his young master and young lady more vigilant. He said seriously, “Don’t underestimate some people’s desire for power and money. Those people are willing to do anything for these worldly possessions!”

Seeing that Shi Man was uninterested, he thought that she did not take it to heart. He hurriedly took it seriously and advised earnestly, “Don’t take it lightly. Such a thing happened in the Yi family a few years ago. At that time, Madam Yi… Sigh.”

Speaking of the past, Butler Qi’s face was filled with melancholy.

Halfway through his sentence, he thought of a bad past and stopped talking with a heavy heart.

Shi Man’s interest was piqued by him. She leaned her arms on the railing and blinked as she asked, “Which Madam of the Yi family? Auntie Lu?”

Butler Qi was originally very secretive about this, but when he thought about how the marriage between his Miss and the Yi family had basically been finalized, there was no harm in letting her know more. Hence, he lowered his voice and said, “No, it’s Yi Zheng’s grandmother, Xi Ying.”

“Xi Ying? Good name. Xi doesn’t seem to be a common surname in G City, right?” Shi Man continued to ask him curiously.

“Yes.” Butler Qi put the glass fragments into the bag before straightening up and continuing to answer, “Xi is a common surname in M City. The Xi family is not to be trifled with in M City. Their status is comparable to the Shi family.” “Oh? Then what?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and moved a recliner over. She lay steadily on the chair and listened attentively.

Seeing that she was interested in listening, Butler Qi passed the trash to the servant at the side. His gaze gradually became distant. As he immersed himself in his memories, he explained, “I only heard a little. After all, Madam and Madam Lu of the Yi family are good friends. At that time, such a huge thing happened, so the Shi family must help. However, I’m afraid only the Yi family knows the truth.”

Back then, a kidnapping that shocked the entire city happened in the Yi family. The person who was kidnapped was Yi Kun’s son, Yi Che. Unfortunately, Yi Kun was traveling overseas with his wife and was not in the country.

As Yi Che’s guardian, Lu Xiang could not absolve herself of the blame when something happened. She went to the place where Yi Che was kidnapped alone. Unexpectedly, a bomb was set up at the kidnapping event location in advance. When the explosion happened, Xi Ying, who had rushed to save her daughter-in-law, was left in the sea of fire and never came out.

This past was enough to make people sigh, but there were still many doubts.

Shi Man frowned and pondered in confusion. “With Auntie Lu’s personality, she doesn’t seem to be someone who would go alone after knowing that Yi Che was kidnapped. There should be other inside information.”

Butler Qi nodded in agreement and said, “But Madam Lu didn’t reveal the truth to the public, so I naturally don’t know. If Miss is curious, you can ask Young Master Yi. He was also involved at that time.”

Shi Man smiled noncommittally. She lay on the chair and looked at the stars in the sky before quickly falling asleep.

In her half-asleep state, Shi Man felt her body lighten before she was placed in a sea of fire. A strong suffocating feeling enveloped her, but strangely, she had always been vigilant even in her sleep. However, this time, she knew that there was a threat beside her, but she could not wake up no matter what..
