Chapter 1039: My Mother’s Portrait Eyes Were Blue
Haoze smiled. “It’s you. That’s true. Other than you, no one else dares to come at this time.”
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 Shu’s 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: “Aren’t you a high-rank Gu master? Where are those small bamboo tubes you had earlier?”
Haoze said: “I do have them, but they are not suitable for use at this time. It is so late, why are you here?”
Qin Shu nodded. “Well, when I came last night, I was in a hurry, so I didn’t have time to ask you.”
“Just ask me directly.” Haoze moved closer to the bed and patted the wooden bed. “Let’s sit down and talk.”
It was indeed not suitable to stand and talk, so Qin Shu didn’t argue. She took two steps forward and sat down on the bed. After thinking for a while, she said, “You said that the Long family’s daughters have blue eyes?”
Haoze nodded. “Yes, this is an inheritance. It has been pa.s.sed down for hundreds of years. However, the probability of the Long family giving birth to a daughter is very small.”
Qin Shu hesitated for a moment, she said, “My mother has a portrait. It is azure blue eyes. However, I have never seen my mother’s eyes azure blue ever since I found her. “On the day of the banquet, when I saw Long Xiao’s 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.”
When Haoze heard this, he suddenly had a faint sense of antic.i.p.ation in his heart. “Where’s your mother’s portrait? Show it to me.”
“I don’t have it on me. My master took the portrait away.”
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, “What about the photos?”
Qin Shu shook her head. “There aren’t any.”
“There aren’t any photos?” 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 couldn’t 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.
“I just came over to ask out of curiosity. Don’t be disappointed. “The 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, there’s a father who dotes on Long Ziling here, with her brother.”
Haoze’s lips curled into a faint smile as he agreed with her. “You’re right. Miss is not a heartless person.”
Qin Shu asked, “Don’t you have any photos of Long Ziling?”
Haoze shook his head. “No, Miss doesn’t like taking photos.”
Some people who didn’t like taking photos, Qin Shu was not surprised. “This is quite similar to my mother. She doesn’t 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.”
Haoze felt sorry for her too.
“What about your mother? You can still take photos.”
Qin Shu was very angry at the mention of this. It wasn’t just because her master took her mother away, but also her memories. Since she was recovered, why didn’t he recover all of her memories?
“I’m angry at the mention of this. My master took my mother away. When I go back this time, I’ll go find my mother. When I find her, I’ll take my mother away. I’ll let my master know what it’s like to be anxious.”
Although Haoze didn’t know what it was about her master, he didn’t agree with his approach.
“Then your master is unreasonable. No matter what, he shouldn’t stop the mother and daughter from meeting each other.”
Qin Shu remembered something, she said, “I have a friend who studied medicine. I showed him Long size’s medical records and symptoms. He said that someone was delaying his illness. “Also, 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 couldn’t hold on for long before he suddenly became ill. Long Muyan just happened to be in the crosshairs.”
“This matter is related to Yang Jin and Yang Quan.” Hao Ze said with great certainty.
“I have kept the medical records as evidence. The main purpose is to expose Long Xiao.”Qin 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, “On the day of the banquet, was the man by your side your man?”
Qin Shu’s footsteps paused. She turned around to look at Haoze, who was sitting on the bed and nodded. “Yes.”
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 wasn’t in a hurry to return to the man’s 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 man’s 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.
