Haoze smiled. âItâs you. Thatâs true. Other than you, no one else dares to come at this time.â
He propped himself up on the bed with one hand, and the bedding on his body slid down as well. The lights in the confinement room would be switched off when it was time. Therefore, at this time, the confinement room was pitch black. There were two small windows at the front and back, and a glimmer of moonlight coming in under the weak light. Qin Shuâs tall and slender figure could be seen walking over.
From the start, he had underestimated this woman.
Qin Shu walked to the bed, looked down at Haoze who was sitting on the bed, and teased: âArenât you a high-rank Gu master? Where are those small bamboo tubes you had earlier?â
Haoze said: âI do have them, but they are not suitable for use at this time. It is so late, why are you here?â
Qin Shu nodded. âWell, when I came last night, I was in a hurry, so I didnât have time to ask you.â
âJust ask me directly.â Haoze moved closer to the bed and patted the wooden bed. âLetâs sit down and talk.â
It was indeed not suitable to stand and talk, so Qin Shu didnât argue. She took two steps forward and sat down on the bed. After thinking for a while, she said, âYou said that the Long familyâs daughters have blue eyes?â
Haoze nodded. âYes, this is an inheritance. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. However, the probability of the Long family giving birth to a daughter is very small.â
Qin Shu hesitated for a moment, she said, âMy mother has a portrait. It is azure blue eyes. However, I have never seen my motherâs eyes azure blue ever since I found her. âOn the day of the banquet, when I saw Long Xiaoâs eyes, I was thinking that whether my mother was born with a pair of azure blue eyes or it was my master who deliberately drew them.â
When Haoze heard this, he suddenly had a faint sense of anticipation in his heart. âWhereâs your motherâs portrait? Show it to me.â
âI donât have it on me. My master took the portrait away.â
Now that Qin Shu thought about it, her master was too evil. It was him who kidnapped her mother, and he even took away the portrait. Ever since she was young, there were only a few photos of her and her mother. Moreover, after Mu Lan entered the house, he secretly destroyed those photos, so she did not have any photos of her mother. Even the portrait that had been preserved for a few years was taken away.
Haoze was disappointed, but he immediately asked, âWhat about the photos?â

Qin Shu shook her head. âThere arenât any.â
âThere arenât any photos?â The glimmer of hope that Haoze had was all gone. He was wondering if she was Zi Ling just now.
Now that he thought about it, it was only a portrait. The possibility of the blue eyes being painted on was very high.
Moreover, blue contact lenses were everywhere now.
It couldnât be anyone who wears blue contact lenses who would be Zi Ling or the daughter of the Long family.
Qin Shu guessed what Haoze was thinking. She had indeed thought about it in the beginning, but now that she thought about it carefully, the possibility was too low.
âI just came over to ask out of curiosity. Donât be disappointed. âThe possibility of my mother being Ziling is too low. If she was Long Ziling, it would be impossible for her not to return to Miao Capital after so many years. Moreover, thereâs a father who dotes on Long Ziling here, with her brother.â
Haozeâs lips curled into a faint smile as he agreed with her. âYouâre right. Miss is not a heartless person.â
Qin Shu asked, âDonât you have any photos of Long Ziling?â
Haoze shook his head. âNo, Miss doesnât like taking photos.â
Some people who didnât like taking photos, Qin Shu was not surprised. âThis is quite similar to my mother. She doesnât like taking photos either. When I was young, I tried my best to take photos. She barely took them, but the photos were ruined by others.â
Haoze felt sorry for her too.
âWhat about your mother? You can still take photos.â
Qin Shu was very angry at the mention of this. It wasnât just because her master took her mother away, but also her memories. Since she was recovered, why didnât he recover all of her memories?
âIâm angry at the mention of this. My master took my mother away. When I go back this time, Iâll go find my mother. When I find her, Iâll take my mother away. Iâll let my master know what itâs like to be anxious.â
Although Haoze didnât know what it was about her master, he didnât agree with his approach.
âThen your master is unreasonable. No matter what, he shouldnât stop the mother and daughter from meeting each other.â
Qin Shu remembered something, she said, âI have a friend who studied medicine. I showed him Long sizeâs medical records and symptoms. He said that someone was delaying his illness. âAlso, on the day of the banquet, he was able to get out of bed and personally attend the banquet because he used a lot of tonics, deer antler, deer blood, and so on. He couldnât hold on for long before he suddenly became ill. Long Muyan just happened to be in the crosshairs.â
âThis matter is related to Yang Jin and Yang Quan.â Hao Ze said with great certainty.
âI have kept the medical records as evidence. The main purpose is to expose Long Xiao.âQin Shu felt that it was somewhat difficult.
Qin Shu did not stay any longer. She came tonight out of curiosity. After asking, she planned to leave.
Just as she walked to the door, Haoze called out to her, âOn the day of the banquet, was the man by your side your man?â
Qin Shuâs footsteps paused. She turned around to look at Haoze, who was sitting on the bed and nodded. âYes.â
Haoze nodded and did not say anything else.
Qin Shu waited for a while. Seeing that he did not speak again, she opened the door and quickly left.
Before she left, she closed the door.
Haoze watched the door close. After a while, he retracted his gaze and lay back on the bed. He looked thoughtfully at the dark detention room. Suddenly, he remembered how Qin Shu looked in her male attire last night, that look was stunning.
Why did she have to pretend to be so ordinary?
After Qin Shu left the detention room, she wasnât in a hurry to return to the manâs courtyard. Instead, she returned to her courtyard first. She still remembered that Long Muyan had given her Inseparable. Now that she had found a man, they could have one each. In the future, it would be more convenient to look for him.
After a short while, she returned to the courtyard.
The pair of Inseparable was placed in the drawer by her bedside. When she walked over, she pulled open the drawer and saw that the utensils were inside. They were dark brown and looked especially bright under the light.
She reached out to take them out and sized them up. Then, she opened the lid and looked inside. She saw two little bugs dancing inside. Just like their names, no matter how they flew, they were stuck together.
The blue wings were very beautiful.
She closed the lid and closed the drawer. Then, she turned around and walked out of the yard.
Her yard was not far from the manâs yard. She walked quickly and soon arrived.
When she went to see Haoze, the man was not happy. He frowned with his sharp eyebrows to let her know that he was not happy, but he could not stop her because it was a serious matter.
When she walked into the courtyard, she saw the slender figure of the man standing at the door, as if waiting for her.
Before she left, the man had sat at the table and watched her walk away. Now he was standing at the door again. He was wearing a bathrobe, which was thicker, but it could not resist the cold wind in the late night.
