Qiu Mobai raised his eyebrows. They did not stay in this courtyard, but crossed the courtyard and continued walking forward.

Qiu Mobai remained calm and did not ask the servant where he was going. He just followed him quietly.

He thought, could it be that Qiu Shanxi discovered something? So she wanted to take him to a remote place and then attack him!

Qiu Mobai shook his head in his heart.

impossible.

He had been doing things very covertly for so many years. He deliberately arranged that the Qian Mansion and the Qiu Mansion were next to each other, so that it would be convenient for him to go back and forth between the two mansions at night when it was quiet and handle the affairs of both sides.

Even Xiaotong and Changying, who were closest to him, didn't know.

Qiu Shanxi would not even notice.

But, be careful.

Qiu Mobai put his hands behind his back and made a gesture.

Jinling Jinsuo immediately became alert and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

They followed the servant of Qiu Mansion, walked around several corridors, and passed through a flower hall, and finally arrived at the place.

But unlike what he thought, no one wanted to attack him.

Here, he saw an unexpected yet reasonable person, Qiu Shanxi.

Qiu Shanxi was wearing plain clothes at this time, sitting beside a stone table, on which were tea and snacks.

Looks like a long wait.

Qiu Shanxi smiled kindly and waved to Qiu Mobai.

"You are the son of the Qian family. You are really a handsome man."

"I heard Mo Bai mention you before."

Qiu Mobai's mouth twitched. He must have never mentioned Qian Yucheng in front of Qiu Shanxi. This was also to reduce Qiu Shanxi's curiosity about Qian Yucheng.

However, Qiu Mobai still nodded and saluted respectfully.

"My name is Qian Yucheng, nice to meet you, Eunuch Qiu."

Qiu Shanxi's smile froze for a moment, because no one had called him Eunuch Qiu for a long time.

Everyone who met him called him Lord Qiu or Old Qiu.

Qiu Mobai curled his lips in his heart. He did it on purpose. But on the surface, he pretended to be very calm. He didn't find anything wrong with his words.

Qiu Shanxi cursed a few words in her heart, then returned to her usual kind appearance.

"Come, Mr. Qian, come and sit down!"

"Have a cup of tea with me."

Qiu Mobai did not refuse. He walked over and sat down opposite Qiu Shanxi.

Qiu Shanxi casually poured a cup of tea for Qiu Mobai, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Hey, in the past, it was always Mo Bai who accompanied me to drink tea. Now... hey... I am the only lonely old man left."

Qiu Mobai raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know what Qiu Shanxi wanted to do. Did he want Qian Yucheng to rely on him? To take care of him? Or... to pity him?

Qiu Shanxi saw Qiu Mobai's expression, which had been indifferent. Suddenly, he changed the topic and said.

"I know you have a grudge against my grandson Mo Bai, but now, he is gone."

Qiu Shanxi looked very sad.

"When a person dies, his debts are settled. The Qiu and Qian families should just get along peacefully and not let outsiders laugh at their mistakes!"

Qiu Mobai sneered in his heart.

So this was the idea.

"Although I am old, I am grateful to the emperor for not abandoning me and giving me an official position. If the Qian family needs anything, I can help."

Qiu Shanxi seemed to have good intentions in his words, saying that if the Qian family had any problems, they could ask him for help.

In fact, it was a threat! He said that the old emperor had a crush on him and that he was his backer.

Qiu Mobai felt amused in his heart.

It was probably because of his series of actions in the past few days that Qiu Shanxi suffered heavy losses, which he was unable to recover from.

He also felt that the building was about to collapse, so he had no other choice but to make peace with him.

Unfortunately, Qiu Mobai is not the real Qian Yucheng. If Qiu Shanxi only regarded him as a chess piece, perhaps he would not have been so ruthless.

After all, Qiu Shanxi did save him.

However, Qiu Shanxi clearly knew his own background but deliberately concealed it, which he could not forgive no matter what.

So, it is destined that he will not stop.

He wanted Qiu Shanxi to feel the feeling of something that was within her reach disappearing in an instant.

Qiu Shanxi has been dormant for many years, and his plans are big.

But he would not let Qiu Shanxi get her wish.

He wanted to make Qiu Shanxi fall into the quagmire when she was only one step away from that position, with no possibility of getting back up.

Qiu Shanxi was delighted to see that he had been talking for a long time, but Qian Yucheng just sat there, drinking tea quietly and not responding to him.

The loving smile on her face could hardly be suppressed.

Just then, Zhou Meir walked in leisurely, carrying a tray.

She had a slender figure, and the pink dress made her skin look even whiter than jade. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her face was slightly round, and she looked like she was 14 or 15, though she was 17 or 18 years old.

Anyone who sees her and sees her charm will be unable to take their eyes off her.

Zhou Meier walked directly to Qiu Shanxi and said, "Grandpa, it's time for you to take your medicine!"

Qiu Shanxi saw her coming and frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

Although not many people knew Zhou Meir, almost all of them are dead.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

She was afraid that her true identity would be discovered. So Qiu Shanxi tried not to let her go out and meet people. She was only told to the outside world that she was Qiu Shanxi's goddaughter.

The last time she entered the palace, it was also Zhou Meier who acted first and asked for permission later! She changed into a maid's clothes and secretly followed her into the palace.

He entered the hall and realized it was her. He was trembling, really.

He was afraid that Zhou Mei'er's identity would be exposed. Then his years of planning would be reduced to ashes.

Even though no one noticed in the end, such a thing will never happen again.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Meir ran out again today.
