Qin Zhi'ai already knew for a fact that the housekeeper had told Grandpa the truth about Gu Yusheng. It wasn't his fault, since Grandpa hadn't bought her fabricated story. If he had bought it, he wouldn't have questioned the housekeeper, so even if the housekeeper had kept the truth from him, Grandpa would still be questioning Gu Yusheng. Whatever it was, the results would always be the same as that night.
"It's over. Don't mention this anymore. It's late now, so go rest."
"Miss… then, you should also rest soon." The housekeeper paused and said again,"I'm sorry."
Qin Zhi'ai kept quiet.
The housekeeper outside the door didn't make any further remarks.
After a few minutes, Qin Zhi'ai heard his footsteps as he walked away.
The entire second floor fell into silence all at once.
Qin Zhi'ai was exhausted, yet she couldn't sleep. She sat on the bed while hugging her quilt. She stared blankly for a while before she could get out of bed and head for the bathroom.
