Chengguo Mansion.
Before dawn, the housekeeper had already brought the servants to tidy up and clean the entire front yard.
The bluestone slabs are spotless.
The flower beds on both sides are lush and green with clusters of flowers.
In front of outsiders, the Luo family always keeps their image bright, bright and clean.
They didn't care about the bastard who was sent away.
But today when I return home, someone from the Qin family will also come.
In Mo City, the Qin Mansion was once on par with their Chengguo Mansion.
Although the Qin Mansion has declined now, no one dares to underestimate the heritage it has left.
Moreover, the Luo family was in the wrong in this marriage.
So today, they naturally have to act more solemnly and not let others gossip about them.
Luo Yannian had breakfast and sat in the hall.
The eldest lady, Mrs. Wang, went to the backyard and talked to her second son.
Luo Yu got up very early today.
After practicing a few sets of boxing in the martial arts training ground, I went back to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Then he followed his mother to the front hall.
When Luo Yannian saw him, his brows slightly frowned.
Wang quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, Yu'er just came to take a look, there won't be any problem."
Luo Yu bowed his head and said respectfully: "Father, please be at ease. Miss Qin has already married Qing Zhou, so naturally she won't even look at me. I haven't met her before, so you don't need to introduce me. I'll just watch from the side."
Luo Yannian frowned and said, "What do you want to see? To see others making fun of themselves?"
Luo Yu's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and said, "After all, the young lady of the Qin family was once engaged to me, but now she is married to someone else. If I don't take a look at her, I will always have a little thought in my heart. Father, don't worry, I know how important it is to prepare for the exam. No matter whether she is ugly or beautiful, I will just take a look at her and I will be relieved."
Wang, who was standing by, also persuaded softly, "Master, please let Yu'er take a look. Otherwise, Yu'er won't be able to concentrate on her practice today. The eldest daughter of the Qin family is said to be a fool. She can't talk or laugh, and no one has ever seen her go out. The Qin family is so anxious to get married, they must want to bring good luck to her. After letting Yu'er take a look at her, she will naturally stop thinking about it."
Luo Yannian was silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Not long.
Butler Wang came in from the main gate and reported respectfully, "Master, Madam, the Third Young Master and his men are here, and they are already outside the door."
Luo Yannian said: "Let them in."
Steward Wang lowered his head and retreated.
Luo Yu's gaze passed through the hall and looked at the spotlessly clean courtyard outside, with a polite smile on his face to welcome guests.
Gentle and polite.
But soon, that smile suddenly froze.
Butler Wang led the newlyweds in from the front door.
Even from a distance, Luo Yu's eyes suddenly fixed on the girl in the white dress. His beating heart suddenly shrank and he could not move his eyes away.
The golden morning sun shines on the girl.
What a flawless, breathtakingly beautiful face!
What kind of fairy-like temperament does she have, like a fairy from heaven floating down to the mortal world!
Her skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her black hair is like a waterfall, and her figure is graceful. She looks like a person who has walked out of a fairyland, pure as ice, and beautiful as a dream!
The maids and servants who were standing respectfully in the courtyard were all silent at this moment, as if they were frozen in time, with their eyes wide open, staring motionlessly at the beautiful girl in front of them.
The huge Chengguo Mansion was in deathly silence.
Wang was also stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly woke up, looked at her son, and the muscles at the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
Luo Qingzhou brought Miss Qin and slowly entered the hall, then walked in front of Luo Yannian and knelt down.
The maid was startled awake by the steward Wang's whispered scolding, and hurriedly came forward with tea, but her eyes were still stealing glances at the fairy-like girl in white dress.
"Father, please have some tea."
Luo Qingzhou picked up the tea on the tray and handed it to Luo Yannian.
The eldest daughter of the Qin family was still standing there with an indifferent expression, and she had no intention of kneeling down.
There was silence in the hall.
Luo Yannian waited for a moment, then reached out to take the tea, took a sip symbolically, and put it aside. A complicated expression appeared on his face, but he did not speak.
Luo Qingzhou brought another cup of tea and handed it to Wang, bowing and saying, "Madam, please have some tea."
Wang's eyes trembled, and he reached out to take the tea. He did not drink it immediately, but looked at the girl next to him with a gloomy face, and suddenly sneered: "Why, don't you even know the rules?"
Qin Jianjia looked at her indifferently, without saying a word or moving, still standing there, as if she were air.
"presumptuous!"
Wang suddenly exploded, and splashed the tea in her hand towards the girl in front of her.
But Luo Qingzhou, who had been staring at her eyes, was prepared. The moment she raised the tea, he suddenly stood up and protected the girl next to her.
“Wow!”
The still scalding hot tea was poured all over his face, flowing down his cheeks, into his neck, and soaking his clothes.
He stood in front of the girl, motionless.
Wang held the teacup in her hand, stunned for a moment. The young man's calm face was reflected in her pupils, and there was a hint of surprise and suspicion in her eyes.
In her impression, the boy definitely didn't have the courage to do that.
This young lady from the Qin family was disrespectful to her elders when she returned home for the first time.
She poured tea on her and no one dared to say anything.
Even the master didn't stop him.
But what she could not have imagined was that this little bastard, who had always been timid, cowardly and as lowly as an ant in Chengguo Mansion, actually dared to stand up and protect this uneducated girl!
She felt a little absurd and unbelievable.
Just after marrying into the family, you're already rebelling
"Father, the tea is served. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave now."
Luo Qingzhou did not wipe the tea off his face, nor did he look at her again. He bowed to Luo Yannian, who had a complicated expression but remained silent, then reached out and took the hand of the girl behind him and walked out the door.
Wang finally reacted and flew into a rage, "How dare you! How dare you!"
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the yard.
Then, a burly man in black tights came hurriedly with more than a dozen guards with swords on their waists.
Wang's face was grim, and she shouted angrily, "Guardian Wang! No one is allowed to leave Chengguo Mansion today without my order!"
"yes!"
The burly man drew the knife from his waist with a "clang" and looked murderously at the newlyweds walking out of the hall.
“Swish!”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed beside him, and a sharp sword instantly pierced through the right side of his neck, directly piercing his entire neck horizontally!
The burly man, who was a guard in Chengguo Mansion and only one step away from becoming a martial artist, had almost no time to resist or dodge, and was instantly killed by a sword!
His eyes were wide open, holding the murderous knife in his hand, his mouth opened, and his whole body was stiff in place.
It seemed that he was dead before he could even react!
"Tsk..."
The sword was drawn and blood spurted out.
The burly man's body softened and he knelt on the ground, still tightly holding the sword that had once brought him so much glory and prestige.
But I can't dance anymore...
The entire courtyard and hall were in complete silence.
And the sword in the hand of the girl who drew the sword had returned to the sheath at some point.
I don’t know if it was because the speed was too fast or the sword was special, but there was not a single spot of blood on the entire blade.
She stood there, cold as ice, as if she had never moved.
Her name is Xia Chan.
Xia Chan was killed with one sword.
