The lunch was very sumptuous.
Everyone in the Qin family was in high spirits and enjoyed the meal very much.
Since Qin Chuan had to take an exam the next day, he only drank one glass, said a few words, and then hurried back to the backyard to continue practicing.
Luo Qingzhou drank a few glasses of wine with him, then pretended to be dizzy and left.
Qin Wen Zheng accompanied the second and fourth masters of the Qin family and ate until the afternoon. They were drunk and then went back to sleep.
From morning to afternoon, Song Ruyue was in high spirits, her mouth never closed, and she was unusually gentle to her servants.
When chatting with the girls from the second and fourth masters' families, she would always say "my Qingzhou is this, my Qingzhou is that". When people asked her about other things, she would always bring up "my Qingzhou", as if she was afraid that others didn't know that this Luo Jieyuan was her family and had a very close relationship with her.
The entire Qin Mansion was immersed in great joy.
Scholars who passed the imperial examination and those who failed came in waves, and were all warmly welcomed into Qin Wenzhen's mansion and had a few drinks with him.
"My Qingzhou is drunk and has gone back to his room to rest. I'm really sorry. I'll ask him to invite everyone to a small gathering in a few days."
Although the scholars were disappointed because they did not meet Luo Jieyuan, they were delighted to see that Lord Qin was so amiable and enthusiastic, and they left with joy.
Luo Qingzhou returned to Meixiang Garden.
With Xiaodie's help, he washed his face and prepared to lie down for a while in the afternoon to digest the food and alcohol.
I lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
Once people become too proud of themselves, they will lose sight of many things.
He calmed down and thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days, and thought of the mother and daughter who were about to commit suicide that night.
He killed Meng Xianxing and indeed helped them resolve the immediate danger.
But it did not fundamentally help them out of danger.
The eldest lady wanted to disgust and confuse him before the exam, but she failed. Now that he has passed and got first place, will she let it go given her vicious temper
I'm afraid he'll get angry and frustrated and become even more crazy, right
As long as the mother and daughter stay in Chengguo Mansion for one day, they will never be safe and may become the venting objects of that vicious woman at any time.
The only way is to find a way to get the mother and daughter away from there completely.
However, this is not an easy task.
One is the other party's legal concubine, and the other is the other party's legal child. As long as Luo Yannian does not take the initiative to let them go, they will be tied there forever, and no one can do anything.
Luo Qingzhou tossed and turned in bed.
The only thing that can ignore rules and laws is violence.
But... that's not right!
His eyes suddenly lit up. There was one more thing!
He sat up from the bed, pondered carefully for a while, hesitated for a while, then got up and went out.
After walking out of the gate, he wanted to leave the house directly, but after thinking about it, he changed direction and walked towards Lingchan Moon Palace.
I came to the door and raised my hand to knock.
"Squeak..."
The gate opened quickly.
Bailing appeared in the doorway in a pink dress, looking pretty but cold. She looked at him and said, "Sir, are you so anxious? You can't wait to sign right after dinner?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her expression, was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm here to look for Xia Chan."
Bailing said nothing more and turned into the yard.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and followed in.
In front of the stone table in the courtyard, Miss Qin, dressed in a snow-white dress, was sitting there quietly reading a book. She was spotless and beautiful like a painting.
Xia Chan was wearing a light green dress and holding a sword. She stood under the eaves and looked at him with cold eyes.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the stone table with gritted teeth and said, "Miss."
Qin Jianjia heard the voice, slowly put down the book in her hand, picked up the divorce letter that had been prepared long ago from the table, handed it to him, looked at him calmly and coldly, and did not speak.
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed: "Miss, I'm here to see Xia Chan. I have something to go out for."
After a pause, he looked at the girl under the eaves and said, "Let's go to the Hundred Flowers Garden."
It turned out that every time he went to the Hundred Flowers Garden, the girl would follow him. At first, she followed him secretly, and then he took the initiative to invite her.
That's why he came over today and asked her to join him. He didn't expect to be considered as someone who came to urge for a divorce.
"No."
Xia Chan stood under the eaves and refused coldly, as if she had become a stranger.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, then looked at the divorce letter that Miss Qin handed to him. He was silent for a moment, then reached out to take it, unfolded it, and read it again.
Bai Ling said, "If the son-in-law wants to sign, I will call the old master and the mistress over immediately. It would be better if the second master and the fourth master were also called over. Only with their witnesses will the divorce letter be valid."
Luo Qingzhou said: "They should still be drinking, probably drunk."
Bailing looked at him and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou put down the divorce letter, looked at Miss Qin in front of him, and said, "Miss, is it okay tonight?"
Qin Jianjia said calmly, "Okay."
Luo Qingzhou said nothing more and bowed to say goodbye.
After leaving Meixiang Garden, he walked towards the back door, ready to go out by himself.
Just as I walked to the back door, I saw it suddenly open and a familiar figure walked in from outside.
She was wearing a purple dress, had a tall and graceful figure, long and straight legs, and a beautiful appearance, but a cold expression on her face.
No one knew where the small whip had gone around her slender waist.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned. He paused for a moment and said, "Miss Meijiao."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him coldly, ignored him, and quickly left from the back garden.
Luo Qingzhou froze in place, secretly confused.
Didn't Princess Nangong accompany the Second Young Miss back to Kyoto? Why did she suddenly appear in the Qin Mansion again
He stood there for a while, then immediately turned around and went back to the front hall.
When we arrived at the front hall, the banquet was over.
The maids and servants were busy sweeping the floor and clearing away the dishes.
Luo Qingzhou went to the backyard again and came to the courtyard of his mother-in-law. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and Qiu'er actually walked out.
"Aunt...Uncle?"
Qiu'er suddenly saw him, was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed, he glanced at her, then looked into the door and asked, "Who's in there?"
Qiu Er hesitated and said, "Uncle..."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. He just pushed the door open and walked in.
Qiu'er wanted to stop him, hesitated for a moment, and followed him silently.
"Are you really not going to see him? He finally came back once and passed the imperial examination. If you don't see him, you will regret it."
"Sister Meijiao, let's go. We will meet again when he goes to Kyoto."
"Wei Mo, you have been looking forward to this day. Now he has finally passed the exam and ranked first. He has status and honor. Jian Jia has also written the divorce letter. As long as you agree, Daddy and I will let him marry you immediately. What are you still hesitating about?"
"Mother, please wait a little longer. I want to go back to Kyoto first."
"Wei Mo, that boy is no longer the same as he was before. He is now a juren, and he is also the top scorer in the imperial examination. If you don't hurry up, after he and Jianjia divorce, those women will surely rush to him one by one. Can that boy resist?"
"Mother, my brother-in-law is not that kind of person."
"Haha, what man can resist a woman who throws herself at him? Besides, that boy is a pervert."
"Mother, let's stop talking. We should go now. Sister Meijiao, have you... seen that person?"
"Let's go."
Nangong Meijiao did not answer, but walked out of the courtyard with a grim face.
Just as I turned the corner, I was suddenly stunned.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the corner, looking at her calmly.
The two looked at each other.
"Sister Meijiao..."
A delicate girl in a plain white dress came over with the support of Zhu'er. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the boy standing at the corner.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Song Ruyue also came over. After seeing him, she was stunned and silent for a while, then said, "Meijiao, let's go out first."
"good."
"Zhu'er, let's go out first."
Qiu'er also shouted.
Zhu'er then reacted and said, "Oh."
Several people went out together and closed the gate.
Soon, the boy and girl were the only ones left in the courtyard.
The wind blew, bringing the scent of flowers.
"Brother-in-law..."
The girl bit her pink lips, her eyes misty.
"Second Miss..."
Luo Qingzhou responded softly.
The two hugged each other tightly.
