1449 Old Master Qi’s Probing
For some reason, Fourth Brother Qi’s right eyelid kept twitching the entire afternoon. At the Qi residence, Fourth Brother Qi feigned sympathy. The Qi family didn’t know the truth, nor did they think he would collude with an outside party to murder Zhenbai, so they naturally treated him well. Father and Mother Qi thought that Fourth Brother Qi cared about their son, and were quite moved.
Qi Hao had been stopped by the old man. He didn’t give up and still wanted to go out and find Chi Shuyan, but his mother didn’t let him go no matter what.
In the living room, Fourth Brother Qi’s mind raced and he suddenly waved at Qi Hao. “Haozi, come here!”
Qi Hao hated this uncle and his wife the most in the Qi family. The husband and wife weren’t good people, and they always behaved strangely. Qi Hao didn’t have the slightest favorable impression of them. When Fourth Uncle Qi waved for Qi Hao to go over, Qi Hao completely ignored him.
Fourth Brother Qi could only take the initiative to walk over and deliberately strike up a conversation. “Haozi, how capable is that woman you mentioned?”
Fourth Brother Qi still believed in this sort of thing, mainly because after he previously met the woman Zhenbai whom liked, he had all kinds of bad luck and never had it good. Fourth Brother Qi had already had his suspicions back then. Now, given Qi Hao’s words, he was even more certain that the woman Zhenbai liked probably had some real capability.
Since that was the case, he couldn’t let Qi Hao spoil things. Seeing that Qi Hao ignored him, he deliberately said, “Haozi, I know you’re worried about Zhenbai, but didn’t Grandpa say not to tell that Chi woman? She…”
Before Fourth Brother Qi could finish speaking, Qi Hao retorted with a dark face, “What Chi woman? She’s my cousin-in-law. Fourth Uncle, why hasn’t your way of speaking changed after all this time?”
Fourth Brother Qi didn’t have a good temper to begin with, which wasn’t helped by Qi Hao provoking him. Fourth Brother Qi was so angry that he felt stifled. He didn’t have any feelings for his nephew, Qi Hao, but he was afraid of his second brother and second sister-in-law. Besides, he still needed his second brother and second sister-in-law’s support to inherit the Qi family in the future. Hence, Fourth Brother Qi barely swallowed his anger. He continued earnestly, “Haozi, I really don’t mean anything or have any ill intentions. I just want to remind you of what the old man said just now. Since Zhenbai doesn’t want Miss Chi to come over, he definitely doesn’t want her to worry. What if Zhenbai’s injuries are too serious and Miss Chi can’t do anything about them? Why don’t we wait a few days and wait for Zhenbai’s condition to stabilize before you tell her?”

Qi Hao looked at him with disdain, but from his expression, it seemed he had taken his fourth uncle’s words to heart. Fourth Brother Qi relaxed. There was still some time before midnight, and he didn’t want anything to happen before that.
Seeing that Qi Hao didn’t make a fuss anymore, Fourth Brother Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He then saw the old man and Celestial Master Zhang come back. Compared with when they went out earlier, however, their faces were terrible and ashen.
Fourth Brother Qi’s right eyelid twitched even more. He was about to lean over, when he met the old man’s sharp, indiscernible gaze. Fourth Brother Qi’s heart thumped inexplicably, and he heard the old man say to him, “Come upstairs with me first!”
Fourth Brother Qi felt extremely guilty at that moment. He was really worried that the old man had gone out and discovered the truth. However, when he thought of Zhuang Yanru’s reminder, he got a grip and followed the old man to the study.
In the study, Fourth Brother Qi slowly sat down only after Old Master Qi took his seat. Looking at the old man’s cold face, he swallowed his saliva and said, “Dad, you… why did you suddenly look for me? By the way, what did Celestial Master Zhang say? Is it that the place I found isn’t good, and caused Zhenbai harm? How about I find someone to move the Qi family’s grave back to its original location in a few days? Let’s see if Zhenbai’s health will improve then.”
It had to be said that although Old Master Qi knew what his fourth son was capable of, he still underestimated some of his thoughts and methods. For example, after this animal colluded with outsiders to murder Zhenbai, he could still remain calm in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn’t think to use these abilities in an honorable way, but took a crooked path. When this kid was born back then, he should have strangled him to death.
Seeing that the old man didn’t speak, Fourth Brother Qi became even more apprehensive, but he feigned concern on the surface and said, “Dad, I’m really worried about Zhenbai. After all, no matter what, I’m his fourth uncle. I really didn’t expect something to happen to Zhenbai when I moved the ancestral grave. But I really didn’t do it on purpose. This is too much of a coincidence! However, the expert before said that the location is really good and the dragon qi underneath is especially impressive. I didn’t think much of it when I chose the location back then. I just wanted to do it for the family’s good!”
If Old Master Qi didn’t already know the truth, he might really have been fooled by this b*stard. It was precisely because he knew the truth that when he heard his fourth son try to scam him, the anger in Old Master Qi’s heart surged again. The fire burned brighter and brighter, and the veins on his temples throbbed.
In fact, before he came back, he had been filled with anger. He even wanted to cripple this kid’s legs as soon as he came back, so that he wouldn’t be able to go out and collude with outsiders to murder anyone again. Then, he would interrogate this kid about how he could be so ruthless toward Zhenbai.
But now that this kid was still trying to dupe him, Old Master Qi understood that this fourth son didn’t have the slightest bit of conscience at all. He was heartless and unscrupulous. Even if he interrogated him now and found out that he was the one who had attacked Zhenbai, he would never be able to force the person behind his fourth son to come out; he might even alert the enemy, and hurt Zhenbai in the process.
Old Master Qi changed his mind about immediately settling accounts with this animal and deliberately probed, “Who was the expert who told you about this good location with dragon qi and said to move the Qi family’s ancestral grave there?”
