The old maid explained to me, "Ever since you left, young master has been following Miss Mu Shu every day. She told him that there are too many people around, which makes her feel irritated, so the young master doesn't allow us to follow him anymore. At first, Miss Mu Shu was indeed very kind to him, and he was quite attached to her. But later on, she became increasingly indifferent and even drove him away, saying she wanted to go play elsewhere. When the young master wanted to find his father, Miss Mu Shu said he wasn't home."
"Miss Mu Shu also mentioned wanting a biological child. Since the young master isn't her own, he naturally doesn't feel as close to her. If she had her own child, it would be different."
The old maid's words sent a chill down my spine.
Miss Mu Shu actually wanted a biological child. That meant He Qi would become an obstacle for her. Would she take action against He Qi for the sake of her future child? After all, she knew how much Qiu Qinrui cared for He Qi. If something happened to He Qi, she could claim that the Qiu Residence needed an heir, and Qiu Qinrui would surely let her have another child.
Just thinking about it made me feel cold all over.
The old maid seemed to realize this too and hesitated before saying, "Do you think Miss Mu Shu might intentionally..."
"What do you mean intentionally?" I pressed.
"Intentionally harm the young master. After all, he isn't her biological child. If something were to happen to him, she could say she was too heartbroken to bear another child, and then the master would definitely allow her to have another one."
Qiu An lay on the bed, undergoing acupuncture. He looked weak but had recovered from his high fever; the doctor said he arrived just in time and that there was nothing serious.
I was about to leave when Qiu An called out to me.
"Mother, can you stay and keep me company?" He looked at me with longing in his eyes.
"Why?" I asked.
"I..." He lowered his head. "I want you by my side."
I looked at Qiu An but felt no expected pang of sorrow; instead, I remembered how he used to cling to Mu Shu's neck and act spoiled.
I got up and left.
Qiu Qinrui followed me out, saying, "Mu Chun, I regret it. I didn't handle things well before. Can you come back?"
"Back then, my relationship with Mu Shu was hard for me to adjust to. Now I realize how important a complete family is for He Qi."
I stared at him, suddenly feeling a bit ridiculous. When I was trying my best, Qiu Qinrui dismissed my efforts as nothing. When I was in despair, he called me a crude person. Now he was here trying to win me back. Was this what they called the wheel of fortune turning?
I said nothing and turned to leave.
That night, I practiced calligraphy alone in my room when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
I cautiously walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Miss, I'm the new neighbor who just moved in. I wanted to introduce myself. May I come in?"
A male voice came from outside.
The voice sounded familiar. When I opened the door and saw Yuan Kai standing there in a neatly arranged blue robe, I was stunned.
I looked at him, speechless with surprise. How could he be here?
I noticed the tea leaves and pastries he held in his hands.
"What’s this?"
"I moved here, right next door to you! From now on, we’ll be neighbors!" he said cheerfully.
I looked at him, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me.
"How did you find this place?"
"After you left, I hurried back to the capital and asked around based on the address you mentioned before."
Before I could respond, he had already entered and sat down in a chair, his expression suddenly turning sour.
