Chapter 250: Grandfather's Last Wish

"I'm living right here; why can't I appear here, but you—on what grounds did you barge in?"

Lu Xiwán fully played the part of an unforgiving woman, causing Fu Sijue to turn red in the face.

Zhongyi Shu at this moment also broke free from two bodyguards' restraints and chased after them, looking very displeased at Fu Sijue, who had barged in without permission.

"You can see we don't have the person you're looking for here; you can leave now, right?"

Fu Sijue remained unrelenting, staring fixedly at Lu Xiwán.

Running into this woman twice in a row is certainly no coincidence.

"Why did Luozhou come here?" Fu Sijue asked of his own accord.

Lu Xiwán had long anticipated such a turn, so she had already coordinated a story with Xie Zian in advance.

"You mean that person who just came? Didn't you see him leave carrying two large bundles? He was introduced by someone else; the guest came specifically to my place to buy tea. If you don't believe it, go ask!"

Having received this answer, Fu Sijue was still not satisfied.

He was unwilling to believe.

Zhongyi Shu had also called Xie Zian early on, and Xie Zian hurriedly arrived at the Mountain Villa.

"I asked why you were looking for someone and ended up at my place; are you now suspecting that I hid your person?"

Xie Zian gasped heavily, glancing sideways at Lu Xiwán, fortunately without giving himself away.

"Why didn't your people make it to the city? Fine, now you've even learned to play the 'golden house hides the beauty' trick."

Fu Sijue's gaze turned cold, and Xie Zian inexplicably shivered.

"What are you talking about? Their mother and two children were homeless on the streets with nowhere to go; I happened to rescue them, and seeing they could brew tea, I let them stay in my Mountain Villa, which gave them an honest livelihood. I barely managed to do a good deed, and you twist it into this!"

Xie Zian acted so convincingly that even Fu Sijue believed him to some extent.

"Young master, so you two know each other…" Zhongyi Shu relaxed as he saw Xie Zian chatting with Fu Sijue.

He had thought he was a bad person.

"Not just acquaintances; I owed this lord money in my previous life, and this life I'm destined to suffer!" Xie Zian rolled his eyes.

Xi Xi, who had been standing beside Lu Xiwán with her head down, lifted her head and asked, "Su Su, are you looking for my mother to buy tea?"

Xi Xi, self‑taught, surprisingly managed to speak a dialect, and Lu Xiwán finally felt relieved.

As long as no slip is shown, it's fine.

Fu Sijue stared at Xi Xi for a long while, then finally left without a word.

Xie Zian patted Zhongyi Shu on the shoulder, whispered a few instructions into his ear, nodded at Lu Xiwán, and then followed Fu Sijue out.

"What's going on with you? Why did you suddenly come to my Vacation Villa looking for someone!"

Having barely survived this calamity, Xie Zian launched a barrage of questions at Fu Sijue.

Fu Sijue suddenly stopped, turned to Xie Zian, and said, "These past few days I've been sending people to keep tabs on Luozhou; neither he nor Zhong Yun has moved, and the only time anyone went out was today, when they came to your Mountain Villa."

But it turned out to be a dead end after all…

"Didn't you already send people to bury Wanwan?"

"Do you think I would believe the nonsense they spout?" Fu Sijue retorted without hesitation.
