It was rare to encounter Qin Liuxi in Wu City. Xi Zheng immediately left his companions behind, telling them to return to the superiors after finishing their meal while he would meet up with a friend before going back. He then arranged for a separate elegant room to dine with Qin Liuxi.
After ordering several local specialties, Xi Zheng eagerly began to speak with Qin Liuxi, saying, "What brings you to Wu City? Is there a particular matter?"
"My family is exiled in Wu City, and a younger brother is seriously injured, so I've come to play the good Samaritan," Qin Liuxi explained casually.
"Exiled?" Xi Zheng was taken aback.
"Yes, the former Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Yuanshan, is my grandfather."
Xi Zheng, also from a General's family, may not know every civil servant, but she's heard of most, especially prominent third-rank officials from the capital.
She didn't know Qin Yuanshan well but had heard of him. So, he was Qin Liuxi's grandfather?
