Chapter 519: Chapter 519, Love to Play and Make Trouble (23rd update)

From that moment on, he had to heed Xie Zhinuan’s orders.

“…”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “I’ve heard my grandfather mention you!”

“He must have been cursing me!” Dugu Zhen stated with certainty.

The old man had looked down upon him since the beginning, constantly standing in his way, even going so far as to interfere with his sister who was married off, because of his wife’s death, their conflict had become incredibly tense.

“Not at all, my grandfather he blames himself, saying if it weren’t for him, my grandaunt would not have died so young…”

...

Over the years, my grandfather’s health hasn’t been good, and he remembers everything from back then very clearly, hence he feels particularly guilty.

The grandaunt passed away, and the granduncle’s whereabouts became unknown, vanishing from the Martial World overnight.

“Heh!” Dugu Zhen scoffed.

But he was unwilling to pick up on the subject.

Perhaps because Dugu Zhen had revealed his identity, their interactions became infused with a touch more sincerity and genuine emotion.

Qin Yu had heard his father speak of this granduncle and had been curious about him; unexpectedly, he met him now, at a time when their lives were hanging by a thread, and it was he who had come forward to help, saving them.

If it weren’t for the imminent departure, he wouldn’t have spoken of it, either.

“Granduncle…” Qin Yu called softly.

“Don’t, better call me senior, the identity of granduncle doesn’t exist anymore!”

“…”

Qin Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Dugu Zhen also didn’t press the matter, and the two fell into silence.

“You’re leaving tomorrow and I won’t see you off. Qin Mao will be safe here, rest assured, I’ll protect him. When the two of you come to pick him up, he will surely be a lively and bouncing little fella!” Dugu Zhen said softly, “Alright, you should go now, I want to drink in peace!”

“…” Qin Yu stood up, cupped his fist in salute, and turned to leave the room.

Standing at the doorway, Qin Yu exhaled softly.

He recalled the prophecy from his younger days that before he turned thirty, he would face great turbulence—losing his wife and child. But if he were to meet a noble person, disaster would turn to fortune, and the rest of his life would be smooth and his name would shake the world.

He dared not mention it to anyone, not even a word to Xiuya.

Now that he had met Xie Zhinuan and the granduncle, he knew he had encountered his noble person.

He quietly disembarked from the ship and made his way to the hidden stakeout of Number One Manor in Gaocheng County.

Zhao Xiuya stood at the doorway, watching Qin Mao inside the room, lying on the floor playing Go with Mu Rourou, a young child showing forbearance to the cheeky Mu Rourou, allowing her to sneak away with a piece.

Her gaze was filled with tenderness.

Like his father, very gentle, and like his cousin, very accommodating.

Xie Yi leaned to one side, idly shaking his leg, with a dog and a wolf in the corner sleeping soundly.

She could not bear to interrupt them with her voice.

So she just watched.

She didn’t know if she would be able to see her child again after she left.

But as a mother, what she wished for the most was her child’s safety.

As if sensing something, Qin Mao looked up, his eyes turning towards the door, and when he saw Zhao Xiuya, he smiled with pursed lips, “Mother!”

“Hmm, what are you playing?” Zhao Xiuya responded, slowly walking into the room and sitting next to Qin Mao.

Gently, she kissed Qin Mao’s cheek.

“Playing Go with Rourou Aunt!” Qin Mao whispered.

Mu Rourou laughed “Hehehe!”

She had spent a few joyful days, feeling at ease and happy; the life before was too oppressive, so suffocating that she felt she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Maomao is very intelligent, I can’t even win against him!” Mu Rourou quickly praised him.

She felt that she had tried very hard, had been very serious, but still couldn’t beat a child.

Qin Mao was too clever by half.

Xie Yi, she didn’t even want to play with Xie Yi; he was too clever.

Even when she teamed up with Qin Mao, they couldn’t win against him, which was infuriating.
