“Bang!”
The crisp sound of whips rang out in the narrow alley.
A pedestrian passing by the alley was startled and looked inside carefully. He saw two figures chasing each other, one in front and one behind, and soon disappeared into the depths of the alley.
Return to the mansion.
Luo Qingzhou first went back to the room and wrote two rounds of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as required by the princess, and then prepared to go out to practice.
As soon as he went out, he saw Bai Ling, wearing a pink dress and holding a freshly picked flower in her hand, leaning against a big tree in front of her. She looked at him and said, "Son-in-law, you did something bad to someone last night. You have to give her an explanation."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, then stepped back through the door and said, "Come in, let's go inside, I'll explain to you now."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ling immediately stood up straight, and while stepping back sideways, she said with a bitter face, "Son-in-law, I was wrong. I don't want to explain. I came here to tell you that the master is hosting a banquet tonight and holding a family meeting. Remember to go."
Luo Qingzhou went out and said, "Stand closer and talk. I can't hear you."
"No!"
Bai Ling hurriedly took a few steps back, pouting her lips and saying, "Son-in-law, do you want to bully me in broad daylight? That's too much!"
Luo Qingzhou pretended to chase after him.
Bai Ling turned and ran, saying as she ran: "Uncle, remember to go to Lingchan Moon Palace with the young lady tonight. Humph, uncle played with my feelings last night, don't even think about being naughty with me again! I will never pay attention to you again!"
Seeing her running away in panic, Luo Qingzhou smiled, locked the door, and went to Yueye Tingyu Garden.
I wonder what important announcement is going to be made at today’s family dinner.
Thinking about the conversation between his father-in-law and him yesterday, and what Miss Qin Er told him last night, he felt that things should not be simple.
However, as a son-in-law, he would definitely not be qualified to attend such a banquet under normal circumstances.
Now, I should be qualified.
Entered the secret passage under the lake.
He still practiced the Thunder Fist for an hour first.
Then start stretching and tempering the fascia.
After practicing until the afternoon, he walked out of the stone chamber, entered the middle passage blocked by rocks, and began to use his fists to violently clear the way.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The fascia first tightened, accumulating strength, and then suddenly ejected with the muscles, hitting the rock in front heavily.
Suddenly, stone chips flew everywhere in the passage and rocks fell.
An hour later.
Not only the fascia began to throb and ache, but the muscles, skin, and bones also began to ache.
After all, it is flesh and blood that keeps hitting the hard rock.
In addition to fists, the back, shoulders, elbows, feet, legs, and even buttocks were also hit violently.
His whole body was soon drenched in sweat, and the only pair of shorts he was wearing was torn into pieces.
Take a short break and continue practicing.
It was not until the evening that he stopped exhausted.
At this time, the blocked passage had been opened forward a distance of seven or eight meters.
The ground was covered with stone chips, and the walls nearby were cracked by the vibration.
Luo Qingzhou stroked his fist which had become numb from the pain, stopped practicing, and slowly performed a set of Thunder Fists. After his heartbeat slowly slowed down, he came out of the secret passage.
I went down to the bottom of the lake and took a careful bath in warm water.
Then went ashore.
Seeing that there was no one in the garden, he entered the bamboo forest again, hid behind the bushes, and concentrated his mind.
The soul floated out from the bamboo forest, facing the sunset, floated onto the lake, and landed on the Moon-Watching Tower in the middle of the lake.
Then he sat there, basking in the sunshine, and soon fell into a doze.
When I woke up, it was almost dark.
Thinking of the family dinner tonight, he immediately floated into the bamboo forest, regained his consciousness, and returned to the courtyard.
Xiaodie was anxiously waiting for him in the courtyard. Seeing him come back, she hurriedly said, "Sir, why did you come back just now? The master and mistress, as well as the eldest and second young ladies, have all sent people to urge you to come over."
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly took her out.
It’s just a family dinner. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with him, right
He just needs to go and have dinner, why did they send someone to urge him
"They didn't say anything?"
Luo Qingzhou asked while walking on the road.
Xiaodie said, "No, I just came to urge you to go earlier. I said you are still studying in the room, and I will go later. I didn't let them in, saying that it would disturb you from studying."
Luo Qingzhou touched her head and praised her: "Well done, Xiaodie. The young master will reward you tonight."
Xiaodie's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at him shyly and expectantly and said, "Sir, how are you going to reward me?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Give you a foot massage."
The little girl pouted immediately.
While the master and servant were joking, Bailing's dissatisfied voice sounded in front of them: "Sir, it's already so late, why are you still flirting with Xiaodie? The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
Luo Qingzhou immediately straightened his expression and walked over.
At the entrance of Lingchan Moon Palace.
Bai Ling stood there in a pink dress.
Next to him stood a girl holding a sword with a cold face.
In the small courtyard.
Miss Qin, dressed in white, sat at the stone table, reading a book quietly.
Luo Qingzhou walked up to the sword-holding girl, stared at her face and asked, "Miss Xia Chan, are you okay?"
Xia Chan turned her body to the side and looked away, her pretty face cold, and ignored him.
Luo Qingzhou didn't know who had been ruining his and Bailing's good things last night, so he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't say anything more and said to Bailing, "Call the young lady to leave."
Bailing snorted, walked into the house, and said, "Miss, the son-in-law is here, it's time to go."
Qin Jianjia then put down the book, stood up and walked out.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, then walked out of the door, secretly amazed by the girl's extraordinary beauty.
Almost every time I see it, there is a beauty that makes me marvel.
pity…
He didn't think about it any more, and bowed to Miss Qin who was leaving, saying, "Miss, I was just reading in the room, so I came a little late."
Qin Jianjia gave him a cold look and walked ahead.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly followed behind.
Bailing came up to him and whispered, "Son-in-law, it seems that the young lady discovered that you bullied me last night."
Luo Qingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Was that person last night the eldest lady?"
Bai Ling nodded and said, "It's very likely."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"How did you find out?"
"When I woke up this morning, I noticed that the young lady looked at me in a strange way. Also, Chanchan was sick and fell asleep last night, so it couldn't be Chanchan. There are only three of us at home, so who else could it be if not the young lady?"
“… Why do I feel that everything you say is unbelievable?”
"Son-in-law, that's not what you said when you bullied me last night."
"Did I say anything when I bullied you last night?"
"I heard everything you said."
"What did you say?"
"Lingling, don't move, bear with it, the master will be fine soon..."
"… "
Luo Qingzhou ignored her.
Miss Qin walked in front, but did not go directly to the hall, but went to the Meixiang Garden.
Zhu'er was standing at the door. When she saw them coming, she ran in and shouted, "Miss, the eldest lady and her husband are here!"
Qin Weimo, wearing a plain white dress, was standing under the eaves with the support of Qiu'er, staring at the silver moon on the branches in a daze.
When she heard Pearl's voice, she looked towards the door.
Qin Jianjia, Luo Qingzhou and a few others walked in from the main gate.
The two sisters' eyes met, and there was no other expression on their faces, as if they had already had a tacit understanding and didn't even need to make any expression.
Qin Weimo walked out from under the eaves, came to the small courtyard, and called softly, "Sister."
Qin Jianjia stopped, glanced at her pale face, turned around, and said to the young man behind her: "You go with Wei Mo."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Bailing was also stunned, looking at her young lady with a look of astonishment on her face.
The cold girl standing in the shadow outside the door also looked here.
Qin Jianjia said nothing more. She walked past Miss Qin Er, walked into the eaves, and said, "I'll go to your study and read for a while."
Zhu'er hurried in and pushed open the door of the study.
Bai Ling stood in the yard in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
Qin Jianjia stopped under the eaves, without looking back, and said in a cold voice: "Bai Ling, Xia Chan, you stay with your uncle."
After saying that, he went into the house.
The courtyard fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Mei'er came hurriedly, looked at the faces of several people, and said anxiously: "Second Miss, son-in-law, the lady is angry, why haven't you gone yet?"
It turned out that Miss Qin had not planned to go from the beginning.
Qin Weimo looked at the young man in front of him and said softly: "Brother-in-law, if you don't want to go, Weimo can..."
"It's okay, let's go together. I just happen to be hungry."
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate any longer, turned around and said, "Let's go."
He glanced at Bai Ling.
It didn’t matter whether Miss Qin accompanied him or not, and he didn’t care.
Anyway, there is no relationship between the two.
Bailing avoided his gaze and looked into the house, then turned her head and looked at the cold girl in the shadow outside the door.
But the girl had disappeared at some point.
"Son-in-law, Second Miss, let's go quickly. Madam is really angry and everyone is waiting."
Mei'er's face was filled with anxiety.
Luo Qingzhou accompanied Miss Qin Er and walked out the door.
Bailing hesitated and followed behind.
Several people went out.
Luo Qingzhou glanced around and saw the cold girl standing in the shadow of a paulownia tree more than ten meters away, as if she had merged into one with the shadow.
Luo Qingzhou stopped walking, but before he could shout, Bailing behind him said, "Son-in-law, don't call Xia Chan, she won't go."
Luo Qingzhou closed his mouth.
He almost forgot that the girl couldn't get close to Miss Qin Er.
Qin Weimo also glanced over there and said softly, "Brother-in-law, come out later and bring something for Xia Chan to eat."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Surrounded by maids and nannies, several people walked towards the banquet hall.
Only after their figures disappeared did the girl hiding in the shadow of the phoenix tree slowly walk out.
She stood there for a moment before entering the Meixiang Garden.
Then, he walked to the shadow under the eaves and stood there, staring at the silver moon in the night sky, in a daze.
"Squeak..."
The window was gently pushed open.
Qin Jianjia, dressed in a white dress, appeared in the window. She looked at her tenderly, was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Don't worry, Wei Mo will agree."
The girl lowered her head slightly, then turned around and looked at her, with a hint of stubbornness on her pretty face: "No, I don't want to leave you..."
Qin Jianjia looked towards the bright moon in the night sky and murmured, "Maybe I won't be able to get through this calamity..."
The hall is very lively.
Several masters and young men of the Qin family came and gathered together.
When Miss Qin II appeared with Luo Qingzhou, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Song Ruyue had a gloomy face and was about to get angry, but after meeting the young man's eyes, her anger was immediately suppressed.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her when he entered the room. He thought she was going to scold him severely in front of everyone, but he suddenly heard what she was saying in her heart: Forget it, I'll endure it! This stinky boy is despicable and insidious, full of tricks, and he killed the whole family of the Song family without saying a word. It's terrible. If I make him angry, he might set a trap one day and sell me to some remote mountain place. Forget it, I'll endure it first, and wait until the time comes to tie him up to death in my Qin family, and then... I'll let my daughter teach him a lesson! Humph!
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Wei Mo, Qing Zhou, everyone is waiting for you, come over and pay your respects to your second uncle and third uncle."
Qin Wen Zheng had a gentle smile on his face.
Luo Qingzhou followed Miss Qin Er and walked in front of those middle-aged men, calling them "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle" and so on one by one.
He had met these people before when he was in Chengguo Mansion.
However, at that time, the other party heard that Cheng Guofu wanted to cancel the engagement and wanted him to marry in place of Luo Yu. They were very angry and left angrily without even looking at him.
On the wedding day, several people were very cold towards him.
But today, several people noticed that there was something wrong with his expression, especially when they saw him following Miss Qin Er, they all showed a hint of surprise on their faces, but they tacitly did not ask any more questions and just nodded.
"Wei Mo, Qing Zhou, go sit at that table with your brothers and sisters. I have something to discuss with your second uncle and cousin."
After seeing the two men greet all the seniors, Qin Wen Zheng waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Qin Weimo took Luo Qingzhou to a nearby table and sat down, then introduced them to Luo Qingzhou one by one: "Brother-in-law, this is cousin Wenshan, this is cousin Ruliu, this is sister Yan'er..."
Luo Qingzhou stood up and bowed to everyone.
Those cousins also stood up and greeted politely.
Miss Qin Er's deeds at the Princess' banquet the night before have spread throughout Mo City, and she has been hailed as the most talented woman in Mo City.
Moreover, they all knew that it was Miss Qin II who saved their entire Qin family, so they all respected and admired this girl very much.
Since she brought this son-in-law here personally and introduced him to them personally, and judging by her attitude towards this son-in-law, it seemed that they had a close relationship, no one dared to underestimate or be careless about him.
At this time, everyone at Qin Wenzhen's table was whispering.
"Brother, what's going on with you? Why did you let Wei Mo bring that kid out? This is against the rules."
"Yeah, big brother, how can a sister-in-law bring her brother-in-law out to meet guests. The relationship between Wei Mo and that boy doesn't look right, you better be careful, don't let Wei Mo get involved."
"Why did you call a son-in-law here tonight? Brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing? I feel so scared. Is something big going to happen?"
Qin Wenzheng had a calm face. After everyone had finished asking questions and calmed down a little, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I asked you to come here tonight. In addition to celebrating the defeat of the Song family, I also want to announce something, a very important thing."
Song Ruyue, who was sitting next to him, frowned and looked sullen, seeming very reluctant.
The people at other tables in the hall seemed to have heard his voice and immediately fell silent.
Qin Weimo took a candy from the plate in front of him, peeled it, and handed it to Luo Qingzhou, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, eat it."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and shook his head.
His eyes also turned to Qin Wenzhen's table.
What exactly is the father-in-law going to announce
