"So… what do you think is Meng Zongqi hiding from us?" Qiu Shisan asked Qiu Shijiu after their brief chat about the Meng family.
Qiu Shijiu looked at him. "Based on your words, you feel that the Meng family might be colluding with the enemies, right?" he asked.
Qiu Shisan fell silent since that is what he really is thinking. With how uncharacteristic Meng Zongqi is acting right now… how can he not suspect him?
Qiu Shijiu sighed. "We are Huichen," he spoke. "Not to mention that we had been staking the Meng family over the years now… so how can they just slip out of our net to contact the enemy?" he asked. "Not to mention that the enemy will attack the capital any time… how can he just endanger not only his sons but also his wife?" he said.
