"What? Are you planning to restrict my movements?" Shu Ziyan said with a smile.

The faces of the people in front of them were expressionless, like robots without emotions: "We are just following orders. Please don't embarrass us, Miss Sun."

Shu Ziyan knew that she and the old man had broken up, and that the other party would no longer follow her as before.

He was probably suspected of being seriously ill and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him.

"Okay, I won't go out."

After Shu Ziyan finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her bedroom on the second floor.

The furnishings in the room were the same as before, and the surveillance camera in the corner of the balcony was still there. Shu Ziyan did not play tricks with the old man, but directly took out the surveillance room from the potted plant and threw it into the water.

Then I checked around the room and found an eavesdropper.

This thing wasn't installed yet when I got home yesterday. I probably installed it while I went downstairs in the morning.

Shu Ziyan took her things out of the room and came to the door of the old man's room on the first floor and knocked on the door.

Soon the housekeeper came and opened the door.

"Miss Sun." The housekeeper was as respectful as ever, as if he didn't know about her quarrel with the old man.

Shu Ziyan didn't care, her tone was neither urgent nor slow: "Is he asleep?"

"No, Miss Sun has something to do with me?"

"Um."

After finishing speaking, the old man's voice came from the room, "Come in."

Shu Ziyan walked around the housekeeper and walked into the room, throwing the things in her hands on the coffee table in front of the old man.

"You are quite boring. Why do you want to monitor and eavesdrop on me?"

The old man looked at the things on the table, his expression unchanged, as if he had not asked him to install this thing.

He leaned back lazily and looked at Shu Ziyan with cold eyes.

"We are all at odds. Isn't it normal for me to eavesdrop on you? You want to come back with me, shouldn't I be wary of you?"

"Of course, but I don't like to be watched."

"That's your business."

The two of them don't talk much about each other now, and they don't even maintain the good relationship between grandson and grandson in private.

"Shu Ziyan, you might as well tell me what you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? Why can't I understand?"

When the old man agreed to bring her back, he just wanted to keep her under his nose and show off Shu Ziyan's tricks.

But after the conversation with Ji Mingyu, the old man didn't want to keep the bomb of Shu Ziyan in front of him.

That's why someone installed wiretaps to restrict her freedom.

"What is your purpose for coming back with me?" The old man calmed down the anger deep in his heart and spoke slowly.

To try to make yourself more kind, you can borrow some words from Shu Ziyan.

"You have no purpose, you just want to gain experience?"

"Is that true? Don't you want me to announce that your second uncle will inherit the Huangfu family?"

Shu Ziyan was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "You... want to give in?"

The old man's expression was not very good. Of course he didn't want to. He just said this just to test whether Shu Ziyan would cooperate with Ji Mingyu.

But nothing could be seen from Shu Ziyan's face.

I thought about how I thought I had a chance to win and obeyed Shu Ziyan in everything, but in the end I was fooled.

"Your second uncle didn't tell you?"

"You think you said it?"

"Didn't he talk to you when he came out of my study?" the old man asked.

How could Shu Ziyan tell the old man that she knew? Even if she knew, she would act like she didn't know.

"I really don't know. Is grandpa unwilling to give in? Want to trick someone from outside? It would be best if he could know if he and I are colluding?"

The old man didn't feel embarrassed even though he was exposed in front of others.

"If you tell me, I can let your aunt go."

Shu Ziyan looked at the old man and said nothing.

The old man was a little disturbed by her burning eyes and frowned: "Why are you staring at me?"

"I was wondering, what kind of person are you? It is said that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. How could you have the heart to hurt your own daughter? My mother is like this, and so is my aunt."

"Aren't you afraid of going to hell after death?"

After the words fell, the old man's face turned cold visibly.

He has feudal ideas, so he naturally cares about this, otherwise why would he eat fast and chant Buddha's name on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month?

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?" the old man said through gritted teeth.

Shu Ziyan raised her eyebrows: "I'm really a little scared. After all, you have the final say in the Huangfu family."

"Now that you know it, can't you keep your mouth clean?"

"cannot."

Every word he said was just jumping wildly on the old man's bottom line, making the old man's face look particularly ugly with anger.

He snorted coldly, "Get out."

When Shu Ziyan saw the old man angry, she became happy and left without looking back.

The housekeeper just witnessed the entire conversation between the two and stood aside for a while not knowing what to say.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit cold.

After a while.

The old man spoke slowly, "Make arrangements tonight so that no one finds out."

"Master...want to give her to Qin Xiao?"

"Since she won't be fined with the toast, then let her do it." The old man said in a cold voice.

"Yes, sir."

The old man suddenly looked at him and said, "You have been with me for many years. I don't want to doubt you about what happened recently. You can only succeed tonight and not fail."

The butler's expression changed slightly, "Master, I have always been loyal to you."

"I believe you. Arrange things tonight well and don't let that stinky girl find out. Since she is not of use to me, then squeeze out the last bit of value from her."

"yes."

The housekeeper turned and left the room, and the smile on the old man's face slowly cooled down.

…

Before five o'clock in the afternoon.

Shu Ziyan was informed that the Huangfu family would hold a family dinner at 6:30 in the evening to welcome the heads of family branches who had arrived one after another in the past two days.

Shu Ziyan looked at the golden cheongsam sent by Aunt Yuan and frowned, "Aunt Yuan, why did you suddenly give me new clothes?"

She didn't like the smell of the clothes very much.

"This is what the master has requested. I will formally introduce you to the elders in the family tonight."

Shu Ziyan heard another meaning from this sentence.

I think what I said when I went to the old man's room angered him, and he was trying to plot against me tonight.

"I don't like gold?"

Aunt Yuan glanced at her and spoke again, "You can't refuse the master's order."

I mean I have to wear this tonight.

"I see."

"Then I'll leave first. Remember to dress up nicely."

After Shu Ziyan sent Aunt Yuan away, she smiled slightly and carefully checked the golden cheongsam. After finding that there was no problem, she put it aside.

Since the old man wanted to play, she should play with him.

She glanced at the time, followed the old man's instructions to put on exquisite makeup, then put on a golden cheongsam, stepped on the time mark of half past six, and followed Aunt Yuan out of the room.

While walking down the corridor, I met a middle-aged man with a feminine appearance.
