Qu Qiangwei was dumbfounded, staring at Qu Chengwu in disbelief!

She never imagined that her grandfather would ask her to seduce a married man, especially one she hated to the point of wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Grandfather..."

"Qiangwei, I know you like Luo Weilian, but that kid isn't the most suitable choice for you!" Qu Chengwu said seriously, "Now that Xiahou Yuzhu is also detained, I bet he's not doing well, right?"

Qu Qiangwei slowly lowered her head. Luo Weilian was more than just not doing well; he had been killed by Ye Xunhuan.

"He's dead, killed by Ye Xunhuan!" Qu Qiangwei said sorrowfully.

Qu Chengwu showed a look of astonishment on his face and then sighed lightly, "That's fate, trying every possible way to inherit the Xiahou family, only to end up like this. I guess Luo Hanlin is dead too?"

Qu Qiangwei nodded.

"Since he's dead, don't waste time on a dead person. Focus more on Ye Xunhuan; this is our opportunity!"

"Grandfather, I..."

"Qiangwei, I've always let you do what you wanted, but this time, I can't let you mess around." Qu Chengwu said solemnly, interrupting Qu Qiangwei, "The Xiahou family has their eyes on this grandson-in-law, and he's not simple!"

"Old Xiahou is likely playing a game of chess too. If you don't want to be a pawn, you can only strive to be the chess player."

"But the key to becoming the chess player lies with Ye Xunhuan!"

Faced with Qu Chengwu's enigmatic words, Qu Qiangwei felt like she was listening to a foreign language, completely unable to understand what he was saying.

But seeing her grandfather's serious expression, Qu Qiangwei knew that he wouldn't let her act recklessly. He was almost decided.

Even so, Qu Qiangwei couldn't help but say, "Grandfather, but he's Qiu Ruoxi's husband, I..."

"Didn't you say he's a womanizer?" Qu Chengwu interrupted her indifferently, "Besides, marriage and divorce are the most normal things. Until the end, who can say who will end up in the same grave?"

"Husbands nowadays are like temporary workers; nobody knows what will happen later. Only when two people end up in the same grave are they truly a couple!"

Qu Qiangwei was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Although she didn't want to admit it, in this restless, faithless era, this was indeed the case.

Whoever is someone's husband, if they don't end up in the same grave, they're just temporary workers!

Even though it made sense, asking her to seduce Ye Xunhuan was something she couldn't do.

After all, she loved Luo Weilian deeply, and Luo Weilian was killed by Ye Xunhuan, who she saw almost as an enemy.

How could she possibly seduce someone she considered an enemy?

......

Meanwhile, in the Xiahou family, Xiahao Yunting turned towards the backyard, while Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi, and Mu Shuyi were having an animated conversation.

Xiahao Yunting initially wanted to confront them but reconsidered upon seeing the scene. Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi had just returned; it was Ye Xunhuan's first visit. Confronting them directly would be inappropriate, so he decided to wait until the next day to settle the score after they'd spent a night here.

"Old man, what's Qu the ghost doing here again?" Mu Shuyi asked softly as Xiahao Yunting walked in.

"What else could he be doing? Just making rounds!" Xiahao Yunting replied flatly, "You know him. If he doesn't come around twice a month, can that even be called a month?"

"I heard from Xiao Zhong that Qiang Wei is here too?"

"Yes!" Xiahao Yunting said calmly, "Came along with the old ghost to turn a few rounds and irritate me in the process!"

"How did he irritate you?"

"How else? Isn't it because this little heartless one hasn't returned for so long, while his granddaughter often keeps him company!" Xiahao Yunting glanced at Qiu Ruoxi, "He's just here to show off!"

"But he doesn't know the little heartless one is back, or else I'd be fuming!"

Qiu Ruoxi felt a bit embarrassed, "Grandfather, I've been busy, but rest assured, I'll come back often to see you!"

"I don't believe a word you say!" Xiahao Yunting grumbled, "If you really mean it, move your lousy company down to the southeast!"

Qiu Ruoxi was dumbfounded and fell into silence.

Seeing this, Xiahao Yunting immediately said irritably, "I knew you wouldn't come."

"Alright, you old rascal, Ruoxi barely comes back. Why bring up so many things? Are you only happy if Ruoxi doesn't come back?" Mu Shuyi fiercely glared at Xiahao Yunting.

The next moment, Mu Shuyi turned her gaze to Qiu Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, ignore your grandfather, he's just going through menopause..."

"I'm going through menopause?" Xiahao Yunting's eyes widened.

"Why not?"

"I'm a man..."

"Male menopause!"

Qiu Ruoxi looked at Xiahao Yunting and Mu Shuyi arguing and felt helpless.

Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, was watching them bicker with great interest, as if he couldn't wait to jump in and say, "If you can fight, don't bicker!"

"You old coot, now that I say something to you, you're getting all high and mighty!" Mu Shuyi glared fiercely, showing her assertiveness, "Now you've grown bold, haven't you..."

With that, Mu Shuyi stood up, hands on her hips, demonstrating a shrewish manner.

Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but intervene, "Grandfather, Grandmother, enough already. Arguing all the time—what's the point?"

"For Ruoxi's sake, I won't hold it against you today!" Xiahao Yunting snorted lightly.

"If not for Ruoxi's sake, tonight you'd be dining on air!"

These two were like comic characters, unwilling to concede an inch.

Seeing Xiahao Yunting and Mu Shuyi quiet down, Qiu Ruoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The world was finally quiet again.

Time flew by swiftly, and before they knew it, night had already fallen.

Mu Shuyi had prepared dinner, and the family sat at the dining table for a pleasant meal.

During dinner, Xiahao Yunting even brought out a bottle of wine, drinking some with Ye Xunhuan, the grandson-in-law.

After a hearty meal, Mu Shuyi and Xiahao Yunting didn't hold Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan for more chatting, letting them go to rest.

Although they wanted to talk more with Qiu Ruoxi, she had just traveled a long way and spent half the day with them, with no rest.

They couldn't bear it in their hearts.

This is what elders are like. Even though they long for your company, they ultimately consider your well-being and let you rest.
