Seeing her serious expression, Zu An was also taken aback: "What is it?"
Qiu Honglei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandpa, do you really intend to stay in the Chu family as a live-in son-in-law for the rest of your life?"
Zuan chuckled and said, "I have a bad stomach, so I guess I'll only be able to live off women for the rest of my life."
Qiu Honglei sighed, "Young Master is so talented, how could he be as incompetent as he claims? Besides, if it really came down to being a kept man, the Chu family wouldn't be the only one in the world."
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Can I still live off you?"
A blush appeared on Qiu Honglei's face at just the right moment: "You're welcome anytime you want."
Zuan sighed: "Unfortunately, I'm a rather greedy person and like to eat from many different people's homes."
Qiu Honglei was stunned. After a long while, she exclaimed, "There are very few people besides you who can describe lust in such a fresh and refined way."
Zu An said, "The main reason is that I am a very honest person, unlike those other hypocrites who pretend."
Qiu Honglei smiled and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. I recently received intelligence that the Chu family is doomed. As a friend, I want to remind you to leave this doomed ship as soon as possible."
Zu An was startled: "Could you explain in more detail?"
You have to understand that although the Chu family is in a difficult situation now, it is still a ducal mansion and can still support itself in all aspects. It even has a lot of private troops. He really can't imagine what kind of thing would cause such a family to be destroyed.
Qiu Honglei shook her head: "I'm sorry, I can't reveal my source of information. I only came to remind you because we're friends."
Zu An knew her mysterious identity, so he didn't force her: "Although I have a lot of bad habits, I don't have the habit of abandoning friends. The Chu family is in great trouble, how can I leave at this time?"
Qiu Honglei was somewhat puzzled: "But as far as I know, the Chu family hasn't treated you well."
Zuan smiled slightly: "There are people who are not good to me, and there are naturally people who are good to me. I certainly cannot let them down."
Thinking of Chu Huanzhao and Chu Chuyan, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Qiu Honglei remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Alright, I understand. It seems I can't persuade you to turn back. I can only say take care."
Zu An smiled slightly: "Then does what you said before about becoming my concubine still stand?"
Qiu Honglei was speechless, never expecting this guy to be so shameless. However, she didn't feel disgusted and replied as if possessed, "If you're still safe and sound next time, then it'll count."
Zuan tentatively asked, "So, when we meet again, will we be friends or enemies?"
Qiu Honglei hesitated for a moment: "Of course we're friends."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there's no problem. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. A bad guy like me will definitely live long enough to take you as my concubine."
"You..." Qiu Honglei said lightly, but she wasn't angry. "Alright, I look forward to seeing you again next time."
After her carriage passed, Zu'an stood there lost in thought, pondering the information revealed by the other person's words.
"Everyone else has left, why are you still looking?" Chu Huanzhao came up behind him and said with dissatisfaction.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "Let's go find your sister."
Seeing his solemn expression, Chu Huanzhao did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly followed behind him with small steps.
After listening to what he said, Chu Chuyan was a little puzzled: "Crisis? The Chu family should be fine now. The Giant Whale Gang was dealt with before, and now the amount of smuggled salt on the market has been greatly reduced. The Chu family's income has begun to recover, and it should only get better and better."
"In any case, it's better to be careful." Zu'an didn't want to betray Qiu Honglei either. After all, she had kindly come to remind you, and it would be unfair for you to turn around and expose her.
"Don't worry, we'll be careful." Chu Chuyan smiled slightly, her smile truly like a hundred flowers in bloom.
Chu Huanzhao couldn't help but hug her shoulders: "Sister, I've noticed that you've been smiling a lot more lately than before."
"Really?" Chu Chuyan touched her cheek and subconsciously glanced at Zu An.
When she met his gaze, her face flushed slightly.
When he returned to his room, Old Man Mi was already waiting there.
Zu'an hurriedly said, "I'll find another opportunity to go to the Wei family about that box you mentioned..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking. Old Man Mi chuckled and said, "No need. You don't need to go to the Wei family for the time being."
"No need?" Zu An was taken aback. "Could it be that you've already found it, senior?"
"No, but I already have a way. I'll find it myself later," Old Man Mi said, looking at Zu An.
Zuan looked at him strangely, thinking, "If you have a way, why did you make me go find it before?"
And the way this guy is looking at me... why is it so strange?
It's like a predator looking at its prey, or a chef looking at its ingredients.
Zuan felt a chill run down his spine, thinking, "This guy isn't going to eat people, is he?"
At this moment, Old Man Mi also got up and left: "Nothing else, I just came to tell you that you don't need to take any risks at the Wei family's place recently, and also to be careful in your daily life."
"Be careful?" Zu'an was a little confused. This guy was fierce one moment and concerned about him the next, which made him a bit bewildered.
However, he had no time to worry about these things at the moment. After nightfall, he quietly headed towards Qingyin Pavilion.
With the "Mirror of Truth," he now moves about the mansion with ease.
Arriving outside Qingyin Pavilion, he gently pushed open the window and found it open, which made him even happier.
