Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 237 REQUESTS

before she knew it, she was already transported in that dreamland she frequently visits these days.

by the time grandma liu noticed, han meixiu’s breathing was already peacefully uniformed. she inwardly sighed. it’s true that old stories might be really boring for the younger generation.

she stood up from her seat and sat down beside the younger woman. she moved her head to rest on her shoulders.

grandma liu still pondered why mo qingzhen sent her those things. why not to her children or grandchildren? why not to those friends of hers?

why her? was it because she’s the wife of old liu?

did she perhaps believed her words back then?

or is it because she trusted her?

in the end, no one could tell her the answer. she tried her best to find out the reason of their death. but ever since she received that envelop, she never opened it. she’s not the same fearless and reckless young woman decades ago. since mo qingzhen only instructed her to keep it, that’s what she did.

now, she’s getting older and she couldn’t do much anymore. there would be more appropriate person to keep that envelop.

this little woman sleeping soundly beside her. if only she didn’t marry the main liu family, she could visit her regularly.

it’s a pity.

it’s almost two hours and the two people inside were still not going out.

if this place wasn’t grandpa liu’s manor, they would have thought the two were already ‘kidnapped’.

when they saw grandpa liu and mr. liu walking towards them, madam liu finally sighed in relief. they could ask the old man to barge inside the room, in a subtle way.

“something wrong?” mr. liu asked after seeing that his family was gathered outside the study room.

“not really, we are just accompanying little zi, waiting for his wife.” madam liu answered and smiled. her smile was actually sending some signal to her husband to ask for more details.

mr. liu didn’t disappoint her. “is she inside?”

“grandma wanted to talk to her alone. they’ve been there for almost two hours.” liu zijian answered in a flat tone.

grandpa liu was aware about the relationship of his wife and his son. thus after he heard liu zijian he walked past the three people and unceremoniously opened the door.

liu zijian quickly followed.

the scene they saw made them surprised.

both women were sleeping and their position was too serene that anybody couldn’t afford to disturb them.

it was as if the two have been closed ever since the younger woman was born.

although he was also puzzled, grandpa liu slightly shook his wife. “if you want to sleep, go to the bedroom, this place isn’t suitable for it.”

grandma liu never thought she would also fall asleep. she carefully held han meixiu’s head that was resting on her shoulder.

liu zijian who was a few steps behind his grandfather immediately came forward and carried his wife.

he bowed and asked to be dismissed.

grandpa liu just nodded before leaving the room as well.

realizing that the two women sleep, the rest of the liu family member waiting outside were extremely puzzled. but they didn’t ask questions. after seeing liu zijian carried his wife to their room, the others also bid their goodbyes.

han meixiu woke up when liu zijian was about to put her down on the bed.

“jian?”

“you fell asleep in the study.”

han meixiu faintly blushed. she was a bit ashamed of what happened as it looked like she was rude to grandma liu.

she also noticed that she was still holding the envelop grandma liu gave to her.

“do you want to eat something?” liu zijian was already familiar with her habits. normally after waking up from a nap or slumber she would ask for something to eat.

han meixiu shook her head. “i’m not hungry. look at this. grandma liu said my grandparents death wasn’t an accident.” she said with a hopeful eyes that liu zijian could help her solve whatever the mystery behind. she extended her hand to give the envelope to him.

seeing that he wasn’t surprised her arm halted. “you know?”

“you’re mom is investigating it. i already give her the information that i got. she said she would handle the rest.”

han meixiu didn’t know what to feel. was she the only one who didn’t know?

“then, this isn’t useful?” she looked dejectedly at the envelope she was still holding.

liu zijian sat beside her and took it. “there might be some useful information here. we can check.”

upon opening, liu zijian read some documents. indeed, he was already aware of the most information inside. but what surprised him was the carefully folded small old paper.

“this…”

“it looks like a map.” han meixiu said.

“it might be a part of it. it’s better to send this to your mother. this might be useful.”

liu zijian then carefully placed back all the papers inside the envelope.

“jian, i don’t think grandma liu is that bad.”

“it’s good if she’s not giving you problems.” he nonchalantly answered.

han meixiu didn’t comment further. there must have been some unspoken ‘misunderstanding’ somewhere. as someone who just joined the family, she thought it’s also not good to pry.

“you cried?” liu zijian asked to change the subject.

“en. but i feel calmer now that i know my mom is investigating about my grandparents death. i wonder if cousin yu is aware.”

“he has doubts. he’s also investigating it. i’m just not sure if he already has conclusive evidence.”

“can you tell me what you know about it?”

“it wasn’t an accident. although it appeared to be so. the people involved carefully planned it. i think you’re mom is narrowing down who was behind it as well as the motive.”

han meixiu nodded. she was too young back then to understand the complexity of the world she was living in. besides she never saw nor heard her grandparents talk about something else in front of her except for some trivial matters.

“you don’t really want to eat something?”

“now that you ask me again, i want to eat some warm soup.”

“i’ll go to the kitchen.”

“you will cook?”

“do you want me to cook?”

“you can but don’t clean up the kitchen afterwards.” han meixiu cautiously responded. “i can help you with that.” she added.

“let’s go together then. people might be already sleeping.”

when the two were busying themselves in the kitchen, liu zilong came in.

“daybreak snack?” he asked.

“you can say that. why don’t you join us brother long?” han meixiu asked smiling.

“sure. tell me what can i do to help.”

“we’re almost finished.” han meixiu answered.

“do the dishes after.” liu zijian answered.

“no problem.” liu zilong said after he chuckled.

“you also can’t sleep brother long?”

“en. i have something i want to ask you.” liu zilong said. he looked at his brother first to ask permission. he already mentioned it earlier but han meixiu was held by grandma liu.

“me? what is it?”

“it’s about miss fu.”

“huh? what about her? did she do something?” han meixiu immediately asked.

“it’s not. you’re aware she’s a ‘special’ person, right?”

when liu zilong emphasized the word ‘special’, han meixiu understood that they could not just say miss fu is a member of black.com.

she nodded. “i know.”

“i’m requesting her, but she’s not available. i would like to know the reason why.” liu zilong said. he wanted to avail her service thus he personally wrote a request to that organization. given his status, he could normally secure a deal. but after waiting for about 2 weeks, the only reply he got was ‘unavailable’. it also included a list of the people he could choose.

he didn’t want other members. he requested again, but he received the same reply.

since there’s an agreement between lcg and black.com to not cross each other’s boundaries, he could only seek for another method to know the real reason behind. and the other method he could think was his one and only sister in law.

han meixiu was speechless for a time. she tried to organize her thoughts before she replied. “i’ll ask.” she simply answered. her brother long seldom asked her request so she would definitely help.

but she was just wondering if the two had some grudge to settle against each other. maybe brother long wanted to have another round of fighting with han mingxia? did he really lose badly that time and he wanted to redeem himself?

but, he’s not the type of person who would exact revenge because he lost. he’s a well known ladies man.

han meixiu’s line of thought was disrupted when liu zijian finally set the mushroom soup on the table.

while the three were enjoying their ‘daybreak snack’ the people who normally worked in the kitchen were waiting outside. although they wanted to help prepare their meal, they were actually told by the young couple to take a rest. but how could they do it?
