While hesitating about what to do, the words from outside the door brought relief to the butler.
"Old Master, the Night King has arrived."
Old Master Qin didn't lift his head, merely frowning, "What does he want?"
The servant outside didn't answer, for in the next moment, the Night King had already pushed open the door.
Qiu Lu pushed the wheelchair in.
Old Master Qin, seeing Zhan Tianye still in the wheelchair, rolled his eyes in anger. "Didn't I tell you to hurry and find a woman to marry? You can stand up quickly, yet you insist on being pushed around in a chair. Aren't you afraid that if you sit for too long, you won't be able to walk?"
He was becoming more and more displeased with this grandson.
Zhan Tianye saw Old Master Qin looking at him with disdain, and his lips twitched. "Grandfather, you've known Miss Yun Er for a long time, haven't you?"
"Yes, she and I are like sworn brothers." Old Master Qin spoke of Yun Shu with great pride.
It seemed that being brothers with Yun Shu was his most glorious capital to brag about.
Zhan Tianye ignored the triumphant look on Old Master Qin's face and continued, "If that's the case, Grandfather must know many things about her."
"Naturally!" Old Master Qin was even prouder.
However, he then narrowed his eyes and sized up Zhan Tianye. "Why are you asking about Shu丫头? Let me tell you, don't have any ill intentions towards Shu丫头. You can use anyone else, but don't use Shu丫头. Shu丫头 is not someone who can be easily exploited. If I don't allow it, many others won't, and you'll be in a terrible fix."
He was laying down the law upfront to warn his grandson not to be foolish.
Moreover, why did he feel like this brat was very interested in Shu丫头?
Zhan Tianye saw Old Master Qin acting like a protector of Yun Shu, completely forgetting who his grandson was. His lips twitched. "I won't do anything to her. I just want to know one thing: is she already engaged?"
"Engaged?" Old Master Qin's eyes widened.
Seeing the shocked look on Old Master Qin's face, Zhan Tianye's gaze flickered. "Grandfather doesn't know?"
Old Master Qin shook his head. "I haven't heard of it. Shu丫头 never told me. Although many people want to marry Shu丫头, I haven't seen her show special interest in anyone. Could it be that young man who is always pestering Shu丫头?"
"Grandfather is referring to Young Master Yi?" Zhan Tianye raised an eyebrow and retorted.
Old Master Qin waved his hands repeatedly. "It's not him. If it were him, I, your grandfather, would definitely advise Shu丫头 to marry quickly. Young Master Yi is someone worthy of entrusting one's life to, much more reliable than you."
In his words, he was filled with disdain for Zhan Tianye.
It was as if Zhan Tianye wasn't even worth a single finger of Yi Zixing.
Zhan Tianye's lips twitched again, but he was long used to Old Master Qin's disdain.
"Old Master, the Prince is very reliable," Qiu Lu quickly defended his master.
Old Master Qin glared at Qiu Lu. "You are his bodyguard, of course you have to defend him! If he were truly reliable, would he have fathered Little Li and Little Feng with someone?"
The more he thought about it, the less reliable he seemed!
Qiu Lu was instantly speechless.
How was he supposed to explain this?
He looked at the Prince helplessly.
Zhan Tianye showed little emotion. He hadn't heard what he wanted to hear yet. "Who is that person?"
Old Master Qin was about to speak when he suddenly became defensive, like guarding against a thief. "Why are you so curious about Shu丫头's affairs?"
Something was wrong!
He had lived to his age, seen all sorts of people, and witnessed all kinds of strange thoughts.
He immediately sensed something unusual.
He sized up Zhan Tianye from head to toe.
"You... you don't have any intentions towards Shu丫头, do you?" Old Master Qin's gaze was sharp.
If he didn't have intentions, he wouldn't be so curious.
It's just...
"Mhm," Zhan Tianye replied directly with an affirmative sound.
Old Master Qin's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected the brat to admit it so directly and without reservation!
"You, you, you! Shu丫头 is indeed outstanding, and it's understandable for you to have intentions towards her. However, I don't see Shu丫头 showing much interest in you. Moreover, you and Shu丫头 cannot succeed, you cannot make it work!" Old Master Qin had been thinking about what Shu丫头 had told him.
To completely detoxify his grandson, only a maiden was needed.
But Shu丫头 had already given birth to Xiao Jing and couldn't be detoxified.
Zhan Tianye, seeing Old Master Qin directly say they couldn't succeed, couldn't help but deepen his gaze. "Why?"
"Oh, don't ask, it's just not possible! If you ask again, it means you're not worthy of Shu丫头!" Old Master Qin quickly waved his hands, wanting to drive Zhan Tianye away.
He didn't fancy Shu丫头 before, but now he fancied her. What was that about?
It was too late, too late!
"Old Master, how could the Prince not be worthy of Miss Yun Er? Before, Miss Yun Er kept pestering the Prince, and later for the Prince..." Qiu Lu was so anxious he almost blurted out the truth.
Fortunately, he stopped himself in time.
But Old Master Qin was shrewd and caught the key point in Qiu Lu's words. "What happened to your Prince?"
Zhan Tianye glanced at Qiu Lu, then said to Old Master Qin, "It's nothing, she treated me a few times. Grandfather, just tell me directly, who is the other person pestering her?"
"Go, go, go. I don't want to say too much about Shu丫头's affairs. It won't do her any good. Moreover, I'll tell you the truth, Shu丫头 would never fancy you. There are so many young ladies in the capital, although they are not as outstanding as Shu丫头, they are all worthy of you. Hurry up and marry one. As for Shu丫头, forget about her. You can't give Shu丫头 what she wants." Old Master Qin kept saying he wasn't worthy, but his heart was bleeding.
Even if he wasn't worthy now, he could become worthy with some effort later.
But this brat was too disappointing, getting poisoned like this. Shu丫头 would never share a husband with anyone else.
He remembered Shu丫头 saying this before.
Zhan Tianye saw that Old Master Qin was refusing to reveal anything, so he could only frown.
"Grandfather thinks I can't find out? To avoid causing too much of a stir, Grandfather should just tell me who that person is now." Zhan Tianye's tone carried a hint of natural coldness.
Old Master Qin was stunned.
Then he cursed, "Brat! You're threatening me! Do you think I don't know your capabilities? I told you not to pester Shu丫头 for your own good, and you still want to investigate her!"
Zhan Tianye remained expressionless.
Old Master Qin was completely helpless. This brat!
He had always known how to grasp people's weak points since he was a child!
He could only curse as he spoke, "You'll definitely regret it! Do you think if you pine for Shu丫头, she'll fancy you? Brat! Fine, fine, fine, I'll tell you. For the past few years, a young master from the Ruan family has been pestering her, and he's very close to her and her son... people around her. It turns out that the two of them have quietly gotten engaged. Since Shu丫头 is engaged, you should stop pestering her and hurry up and find someone to marry!"
