The next day.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up, it was already 9:00 in the morning.
The sun is shining brightly, shining through the window lattice.
From the courtyard came the sound of Xiaodie quietly driving away sparrows.
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the beautiful curtain above his head, thinking about the romance of last night, it seemed as if he was dreaming.
Why do I always fall asleep without realizing it after making love
Just like the last bridal chamber.
It was obvious that I should have said sweet words and comforted her with care, but I felt dizzy and fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.
Is it because he is too weak, or... is there another reason
The faint fragrance of the young girl still lingers in the air.
But the place was empty and no trace of anyone was left.
"Sir, are you awake?"
Suddenly, Xiaodie's soft call came from outside the window.
The sparrows chirped non-stop in the yard, making a very noisy sound.
She was afraid of disturbing the young master's sweet dream, so she drove away the annoying sparrows, but she was also afraid that something might happen to the young master if he slept for so long, so she shouted.
Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses and replied, "Awake."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie hurriedly said, "Then I will go get you some hot water to wash your face."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou lay in bed for a while before getting up and getting dressed.
Xiaodie helped him wash his face and brush his teeth.
Then breakfast was served.
The breakfast here is much richer than that at Chengguo Mansion.
Steamed buns, eggs, vegetable and rice porridge.
There was also a plate of snacks.
Luo Qingzhou sat in the courtyard eating breakfast, feeling a little absent-minded.
Xiaodie was pulling weeds in the corner nearby, turning her head to glance at him from time to time, her eyes flickering, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I won't eat you."
Xiaodie blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Master, last night... last night you and the young lady had sex?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned: "Did you see it?"
Xiaodie blushed and said shyly, "I didn't see it, I just... just heard it."
"Did you hear that?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.
"Um."
Xiaodie lowered her head and was too embarrassed to say anything more.
Last night, she had just fallen asleep in the next room when she heard the noise from the young master's room.
The wooden bed creaked for a long time...
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Xiaodie, were you in your room the whole night? Did you see anyone?"
Xiaodie shook her head: "No, I have been in bed all the time."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What about this morning? When did you get up? Did you see... someone leaving my room?"
Xiaodie still shook her head: "No, when I got up, the young master was the only one sleeping in his room. I don't know when the young lady left."
After that, he whispered, "Sir, the young lady might be shy, so she came and left quietly."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and fell into thought.
Unexpectedly, Xiaodie continued, "Sir, when I got up to open the gate, I saw a figure suddenly walk into the garden in front. It looked like...like..."
"Who does it look like?"
Luo Qingzhou asked hurriedly, feeling nervous.
Xiaodie glanced at the entrance to the courtyard and whispered, "It looks like Sister Bailing. Sister Bailing might have been waiting for Miss outside last night."
Luo Qingzhou's pupils shrank slightly and he said nothing more.
After dinner.
He returned to the house, put aside the clutter in his mind, and sat down at the desk in front of the window to read.
Things look a little complicated.
But there was no need for him to waste time thinking about it.
The most urgent task is to make yourself stronger first.
Otherwise, not only would the beautiful Miss Qin look down on him, but even the woman driving the coach and the maids in the mansion would look down on him.
No matter in which era, the weak are always looked down upon.
The weak have no dignity.
If you want dignity, you can only rely on your own efforts!
Xiaodie cleaned up the dishes, said something to him, and went out to find Qiu'er and Xiaotao and other maids to study with.
That girl is also working hard.
Luo Qingzhou read for a while, then returned to bed and practiced internal energy for half a day.
After lunch.
After Xiaodie left, he continued to hit the tree trunk in the yard to temper the membrane.
Fists, arms, elbows, back, abdomen, legs, feet, and even neck, all exert force one by one, with increasing force.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The big tree with cracked bark shook slightly under the violent impact, making a dull sound.
Although his whole body was in pain from the shock, he gradually felt refreshed during the continuous tempering.
He increased his strength, becoming more and more violent!
The heat in the body continuously flows through various acupoints throughout the body, penetrating the blood and flesh, nourishing the skin that is almost painful.
The skin is constantly cracking and repairing, gradually transforming...
The sun quietly fell from the sky to the horizon.
By the time Luo Qingzhou stopped, covered in sweat, it was already evening.
When it's getting dark.
Xiao Diefang came back with a sumptuous meal and happily told him about learning embroidery and flute today.
But in the end, she pouted and said, "Sister Qiu'er laughed at me today for having a small mouth and being unsuitable for playing the flute. Sister Xiaotao argued with her, saying that people with small mouths can play better. Then everyone laughed and I didn't know what they were laughing at..."
"Learn the guzheng or pipa in the future."
Luo Qingzhou gave suggestions while eating.
The little girl said stubbornly: "No, I must learn to play the flute well and not embarrass you, Master."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said nothing more.
After taking a shower at night.
He continued to practice his internal skills in the room.
When it was almost time to go to bed, Xiaodie came in wearing pajamas, got into his quilt, warmed his feet at his feet, and whispered to him about the trivial matters in the mansion that she had heard from the maids.
"Sister Xiaotao said that the second young lady is amazing. She is good at everything, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, she is not in good health and is always sick..."
"I wanted to ask you about the young lady, but everyone changed their expressions and refused to say anything..."
"I heard that the eldest son is very powerful in Kyoto..."
"Qiu'er said that the distinguished guests from Yujing go out of town to hunt every day..."
Luo Qingzhou held her slender and delicate girl's feet and listened to her chattering on and on. He was thinking about something and did not interrupt.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The little girl's voice gradually stopped, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
Luo Qingzhou thought about cultivation for a while and then closed his eyes.
Outside the window, the silver moon is cold and clear.
Chengguo Mansion.
Luo Yannian was still busy in the study.
Madam Wang brought over the freshly prepared snacks and hot tea, then quietly left.
When I walked to the dark corner of the corridor outside, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree next to me.
The second butler is Wang Cheng.
The two of them were separated by a vermilion railing.
Wang looked away, her face as gloomy as water.
Wang Cheng bowed and whispered, "I have already sent people to keep an eye on him. According to the rules, the boy has just got married, so he needs a month to go outside the city to worship his mother. Then we can take action."
Wang's eyes were gloomy: "Yu'er is at a critical moment, don't leave any handle."
Wang Cheng whispered, "Madam, don't worry. There are wild beasts in the forests outside the city, and there are even man-eating monsters in the Black Wood Forest. If he died there, no one would suspect him. Even if someone suspected him, there would be no evidence."
Wang looked at him, squinted her eyes and asked, "Is he reliable?"
Wang Cheng said respectfully: "They are all murderers who committed murder outside. I did not show up, so I asked Wang Pu to find them. When Wang Pu met those people, he also covered his face, and it was at night..."
Wang said nothing more and continued walking forward.
Walking through the corridor, under the illumination of moonlight and lamplight, the ferocious look on her face quickly faded away, and she became calm again.
