Plum blossom garden.
The sun is shining, and the flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.
Qin Weimo was wearing a plain white dress and a thick snow-white fox fur coat. She was standing under a peach tree, raising her bare hand and gently stroking a blooming pink peach blossom, in a daze.
Song Ruyue stood beside them, her brows slightly furrowed, and spoke in a low voice.
Qiu'er was wearing a light yellow dress, holding some snacks that had just come out of the kitchen, and standing quietly not far away.
The breeze is gentle and the garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
When Luo Qingzhou followed Zhu'er into the courtyard, he saw the mother and daughter standing prettily under the peach tree, each stroking a pink peach blossom with their slender hands and talking in a low voice.
Both of them were wearing snow-white fox fur, had fair skin and similar eyebrows and eyes. One was elegant and graceful, the other was beautiful as a flower, they looked like a pair of sisters.
This scene is as beautiful as a painting.
When they saw him come in, the two stopped talking and their eyes fell on him.
Miss Qin Er's eyes were bright, and a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face. She called softly, "Brother-in-law."
The mother-in-law had a cold face and rolled her eyes at him, as if he owed her a few taels of silver.
Luo Qingzhou stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully, "Mother-in-law."
Song Ruyue glanced at him sideways, ignored him, and said coldly: "You guys chat, I'm going back."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Mei'er and other maids who were waiting at the door immediately gathered behind her.
The group walked out the door quickly.
Luo Qingzhou was a little confused and raised her head and asked, "Second Miss, what happened to my mother-in-law? How did I offend her?"
Miss Qin Er stood under the peach tree, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Her face was as beautiful as a flower, and she said softly, "Brother-in-law, guess what mother said to Wei Mo when she came here just now?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled by her beautiful appearance and asked, "What did you say?"
Qin Weimo's eyes were bright, and she looked at him softly and said, "Mother just said that she wanted Weimo to accompany her brother-in-law to Chengguo Mansion in the evening."
After saying this, her eyes were fixed on his eyes and the expression on his face.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly realized something and asked, "What about the young lady?"
Qin Weimo shook her head slightly, looked into his eyes and said, "Sister won't go."
There was a brief silence in the courtyard.
After a while.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression and said, "Second Miss, is that what your mother-in-law meant?"
Qin Weimo nodded slightly and said softly, "Yeah."
"Where is my father-in-law?"
"Since mother came to say so, it must have been approved by father."
"Then... Miss..."
"Mother went to look for my sister first, and then came to me."
Luo Qingzhou fell silent.
Qin Weimo approached him and said softly, "Brother-in-law, don't be nervous. Weimo is just accompanying you to have a meal, so don't think too much. Sister doesn't like to go out and doesn't like to communicate with people. I believe Chengguo Mansion will understand."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Qin Weimo smiled lightly: "Is my brother-in-law afraid that others will know?"
Luo Qingzhou thought about what happened tonight and said, "Don't be afraid. It has nothing to do with them. It's just that Luo Yu seems to regret this marriage. He came here twice, both times wanting to see the young lady. If the young lady and I..."
Qin Weimo smiled faintly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, he will never have a chance. And brother-in-law, Weimo didn't seem to say that he wanted brother-in-law and sister to... that, right?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, changed the subject, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, you still have to go to ask my sister in person later, and then ask Bailing and Xia Chan if they want to go."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I'm going to ask."
"Brother-in-law..."
Qin Weimo stretched out her slender white hand and held it in front of him.
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled and looked around.
Zhu'er and Qiu'er, who were not far away, immediately turned their heads away and looked elsewhere, with a serious look on their faces.
Luo Qingzhou then reached out and gently held Miss Qin's hand.
Soft and boneless, delicate and tender, with a hint of coldness.
Luo Qingzhou held it in his palm, then raised his other hand, placed it in the palms of both hands, and rubbed it gently.
The courtyard was quiet.
The two looked at each other, gentle as water.
"Brother-in-law..."
"Um?"
"If anyone dares to bully my brother-in-law tonight, Wei Mo will never let her off. Don't be afraid, brother-in-law. Although Wei Mo is weak, he has a powerful mouth. He will definitely protect my brother-in-law tonight."
"Second Miss, I'm not afraid."
"Brother-in-law, they are your nominal elders after all, you don't need to say anything, Wei Mo will help you speak. Brother-in-law, just eat your meal in peace, leave everything to Wei Mo."
"Second Miss, I don't want to be a freeloader."
"It's okay. It's only natural for a brother-in-law to eat the free food of his sister-in-law."
"… "
The two held hands and talked softly in the courtyard.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er kept peeking at him, which made him feel embarrassed. He had no choice but to quietly go into the house and mutter to himself.
"Qiu'er, it seems that the matter has been settled. Even the Madam has compromised. Your wish has finally been fulfilled. From now on, you can finally take off all your clothes or wear your revealing little underwear, go to warm the quilt for your uncle, and let your uncle love you well. Aren't you very happy?"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to let the uncle hear it."
"Humph, you're obviously very happy and want to laugh, but you're pretending to be serious. Tsk, you hypocritical girl."
"I don't want to bother with you."
"Qiu'er, you and Xiaodie have such a good relationship. In the future, are you two going to strip naked together and serve your uncle? Do you think your uncle will become too weak to get out of bed because of you two little girls?"
"Still talking nonsense! Tear your mouth off!"
"whee… "
The two little girls started chasing each other wildly in the house.
Luo Qingzhou stayed in Meixiang Garden for a while before leaving and went to Lingchan Moon Palace with some trepidation and mixed feelings.
Tonight's banquet is of great significance to him, to the Second Miss Qin and the First Miss Qin, and even to the entire Qin Mansion.
The one who accompanied him to the "family dinner" was not Miss Qin, with whom he was nominally married, but Miss Qin II.
I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can see the information that has been leaked.
He really didn't expect it to be so smooth.
He thought that his mother-in-law would make things difficult for him.
Now it seems that the mother-in-law is still very reasonable and lovely.
Of course, it's all for her baby daughter.
Thinking about things along the way, I soon arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace.
Standing at the door, he suddenly hesitated.
"Squeak..."
At this moment, the gate opened.
Bailing was wearing a pink dress and stood in the doorway, looking at him coldly, "Son-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at the expression on her face and whispered, "Bai Ling, are you still angry about me going to the brothel that night?"
"snort."
Bailing didn't answer, but snorted coldly and turned into the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou took a look at the courtyard and followed him in.
Bailing sat down in front of the stone table with her back to him, holding a flower in her hand. She pouting her lips and tearing the pink petals hard.
The petals fell one by one on the ground and on her pink skirt, as if they were withering from her body.
She is a person as pink and tender as a flower.
Luo Qingzhou stood behind her and watched quietly for a while, then walked in front of her, squatted down, looked up at her and said, "Bai Ling, don't be angry, I apologize to you, okay?"
"snort!"
Bailing snorted, turned her body, faced him sideways, and continued to tear the flowers in her hands with force.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, then moved in front of her, stretched out his hand, held her soft little hand, looked at her gently and said, "Don't be angry, can I kiss you?"
"I don't want it!"
Bailing turned her body again, and the little hand he held struggled for a while, but failed to break free.
Luo Qingzhou held her little hand, put it to his mouth, kissed it a few times, and said, "I swear to you that I will never go to a brothel again, okay? If you go again, the sky will be struck by thunder."
Bailing still pouted and didn't say anything.
She wasn't mad about it.
Luo Qingzhou held her little hand and stared at her angry face for a while. Then he suddenly stood up and walked towards the back garden, saying, "Forget it. Since you don't forgive me, I will go talk to Xia Chan. I will ignore you from now on."
He walked for a distance and saw that there was still no movement behind him, so he turned around to look.
When he saw this, he stopped immediately and his heart suddenly tightened.
The girl, as pink and tender as a flower, was still sitting there angrily. Her eyes, which were originally clear and lively and always had a bright smile, were now filled with sparkling tears. She was looking at him with tears in her eyes and feeling extremely aggrieved, but she kept her mouth tightly shut and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and walked back, holding her in his arms, stroking her long, smooth hair, and said with pity, "Silly girl, why are you crying? My uncle was just teasing you, how could he ignore you?"
"Woo..."
The girl in his arms suddenly burst into tears, but immediately held it back, her shoulders shaking slightly.
Luo Qingzhou squatted down, held her head, and said to her forehead, "Don't cry, or I will take you back to the room and bully you if you cry again."
The girl still bit her pink lips, trying to hold back her tears.
Luo Qingzhou helped her wipe her tears, stared at her tearful cheeks and pitiful eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly kissed her lips gently.
We had kissed each other many times before, always out of mischief and revenge, but today, it was out of heartache and pity.
This kiss was full of tenderness and a hint of passion.
The girl's crying gradually stopped, and her initial struggle gradually became weak, and soon she fell limp in his arms.
She tilted her pretty little face up, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth slightly, like a blooming flower in her hand, pink and tender, with fragrance everywhere, ready for you to pick...
The kiss lasted for a long time.
Until her little hands couldn't help but reach into his clothes and started touching him.
Luo Qingzhou held her horizontally in his arms, then walked into the house, went straight to her room, and put her on the bed.
"Son-in-law, the door... the door is not closed..."
She lay softly on the bed, her hair disheveled, her pink skirt slightly flipped, her cheeks flushed, her lips sparkling, her eyes still filled with tears, but she was shy and confused, her eyes were rippling, and she was particularly attractive...
"Oh, I'll go turn it off."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards the door.
The girl bit her pink lips, her eyelashes trembling. After a moment's hesitation, she reached out to untie the belt around her waist, kicked off her shoes and socks, revealing her snow-white, tender and slender jade feet, and murmured softly: "Uncle..."
"Bang!"
Luo Qingzhou closed the door and said outside: "Bai Ling, then you take a rest. I'll go to the back to see the young lady."
After saying that, the footsteps left.
The girl on the bed took off her hairpin, letting her black hair fall loose, and looked at the closed door with a shy and expectant look on her face: "..."
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
In the back garden.
A cold girl in a light green dress was practicing sword skills charmingly under a peach tree.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, walked into the pavilion, and said respectfully to the snow-white figure sitting in the pavilion: "Miss, we are going to the Chengguo Mansion for a banquet tonight, do you want to go?"
Although he already knew the result, they were still husband and wife after all, and according to the rules, he had to come and ask.
I thought this cold girl would either remain silent, shake her head, or say "No", but she raised her head, looked at him and asked, "Do you want me to go?"
The sound of sword dancing under the peach tree suddenly became quieter.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he bowed his head and said respectfully: "If Miss wants to go, then go. I will listen to you."
What I mean is that I am just a son-in-law and have no right to help you make decisions.
Qin Jianjia held the book in her hand and looked at him calmly. After a moment, she lowered her head and continued to read. She said calmly, "If you don't want to, there's no need to ask. Also, you don't need to come to pay your respects in the future."
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her, wondering if she was angry.
Qin Jianjia flipped through the book and said, "Don't think too much, I'm not angry. I said these words just to make you understand that some things are meaningless and don't need to be done. Go spend more time with Wei Mo in the future and don't come to my place."
Luo Qingzhou didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The figure dancing with the sword under the peach tree stopped, held the sword, looked at him with a cold face and icy eyes.
Qin Jianjia raised her head, revealing her flawless and beautiful face without any emotion, and said calmly: "Go, be nice to Weimo."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her with complicated eyes, did not linger any longer, bowed his head, and retreated with mixed feelings.
He did not go looking for Bailing again, but left directly through the round door next to him.
There are some things he needs to think about.
Of course, there are other important things today.
He went to Yueye Tingyu Garden and entered the bamboo forest. He soaked the broken trees, smashed them into small pieces, and put them into his storage bag.
He packed a lot.
Lingchan Moon Palace.
Under the peach tree, Xia Chan stopped practicing sword.
She stood there blankly, staring at the figure in the pavilion, clenching the sword in her hand, not moving.
After a while.
Bailing came out of the house, glanced at her, and walked into the pavilion. After a moment of silence, Fang said, "Miss, my son-in-law just bullied me again, but... I didn't let him succeed."
Qin Jianjia continued to read the book quietly without saying anything.
Bailing was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Miss, no matter what happens in the future, Bailing will always follow you. No matter where you go, Bailing will be with you."
The figure under the peach tree also spoke up: "Chanchan, same."
Bai Ling suddenly looked at her and said, "Chanchan, I'm enough for the young lady. Go quickly, your uncle needs you. He needs you tonight and will need you in the future. You should practice sword skills hard, so that when your uncle passes the imperial examination and marries the second young lady, you can protect them. You don't have to worry about the young lady, I will take good care of her. And as long as the young lady survives that catastrophe, her body will be free of restrictions and she won't need your protection."
The girl under the tree clenched the sword in her hand and whispered, "No."
Bai Ling didn't say anything else. The scene of her uncle bullying her just now appeared in front of her eyes. She secretly said in her heart: Damn uncle, don't ever think of bullying me again...
In the evening.
In the hall of the Qin Mansion, Qin Wenzhen, Song Ruyue, Miss Qin II and other maids and nannies all gathered together, ready to set off.
Song Ruyue frowned and asked, "Wei Mo, where is that boy? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Qin Weimo whispered, "Mother, let's go first. My brother-in-law needs to study for a while and will go with Xia Chan later."
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly turned serious: "Studying at this time? Why, are you afraid that if I go with you, the people in Chengguo Mansion will laugh at me?"
Qin Weimo did not answer, but said softly: "Mother, where is Sister Meijiao?"
Song Ruyue said coldly, "She's practicing in a safe place, you don't have to worry about her. But as for that brat, did you explain it to him clearly this afternoon? What's his attitude? Did you find out clearly?"
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said, "Mother, it's getting late, let's go first."
Song Ruyue frowned and was about to ask more questions when Qin Wenzheng, who was sitting next to her, stood up and said dignifiedly, "Let's go. You don't have to meddle in the child's affairs. Wei Mo has his own ideas. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Song Ruyue stood up unconvinced and muttered, "I want to see what that brat is up to tonight. If he dares to ignore my Wei Mo when we go to Chengguo Mansion, I'll make him pay!"
"Let's go."
Led by Qin Wenzhen, the group left the mansion.
There was already a carriage waiting outside the gate.
After the maids, nannies, and guards surrounded the carriage and slowly left from the gate, a figure appeared at the corner not far away, waited and looked around for a while, then left quietly.
And at this time.
In a room in the backyard of Chengguo Mansion, the windows were closed and the light was dim.
Wang stood alone at the window, expressionless.
Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, and then the door was pushed open and closed again.
Wang Cheng walked quickly to her side, bowed and said respectfully: "Madam, it's time to leave. Qin Wenzheng and his wife, as well as the second young lady of the Qin family, are here. It's strange that the boy and the eldest young lady of the Qin family didn't come."
Wang was silent for a while after hearing this, and a cold look appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Didn't you come? Even better."
Wang Cheng whispered, "My cousin has just gone out to meet them there. If that guy stays in the mansion, he will definitely die. Madam, did my cousin take that thing with him? When the time comes, kill that guy and stuff it directly into his body, so that the Qin family will have no way to defend themselves!"
Wang opened the window, looked outside, and said calmly, "Wang Cheng, do you think Yu'er will blame me?"
Wang Cheng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said, "Madam, even if the Second Young Master will blame you, there is nothing you can do about it. If that woman doesn't die, I'm afraid the Second Young Master will always be upset and won't be able to practice with peace of mind."
Wang nodded slightly: "It is indeed impossible. It doesn't matter, no matter how Yu'er blames me, as long as he can practice peacefully in the future, it doesn't matter even if I die."
When the sun is about to set.
The Qin family's carriage finally arrived at the gate of Chengguo Mansion.
Luo Yannian, Luo Yu and others who were waiting at the door hurriedly walked down the steps to greet them with enthusiasm on their faces.
But soon, the smile on Luo Yu's face became stiff.
He stared at the empty sedan, and his heart felt empty as well.
And at this time.
Luo Qingzhou was taking the poorly disguised Xia Chan, blending into the crowd and walking towards Tianxian Tower.
When they arrived, night had just fallen.
