"Aunt...Uncle, I was wrong..."
Bai Ling lay on the ground, begging for mercy.
Luo Qingzhou ignored her, untied the belt around her waist, pulled her out, and tied her hands behind her back.
Then he took the rope and tied her feet up as well.
"Uncle, spare my life..."
Bai Ling twisted and struggled on the ground.
Luo Qingzhou picked her up directly, took off her shoes, and walked into the inner room.
"Son-in-law, no... I don't want..."
Bailing looked at the big bed in the inner room and began to panic.
Luo Qingzhou carried her to the bed and stuffed her directly under the bed, then said coldly: "Say 'Uncle' a hundred times, I was wrong. Say 'Uncle' a hundred times again and I won't dare to do it again next time. I'll let you out after you've said it. If you don't say it or say less, I'll strip you naked later and let you know how powerful the uncle is."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He walked to the balcony in front of the window, sat down, and continued looking at the illustrations.
"Wow, uncle, I want to tell Chanchan, tell the eldest lady, tell the second lady, tell the lady, tell..."
The words in her mouth suddenly stopped.
Luo Qingzhou stood up and walked towards her.
"Uncle, I was wrong...Uncle, I was wrong..."
She opened her eyes wide, lay down under the bed, and began to speak quickly.
Luo Qingzhou took the book, walked to the bedside and sat down, listening to her while continuing to look at the illustrations in his hand.
"Uncle, I was wrong... Woohoo, uncle, I was wrong..."
After a while.
"Son-in-law, I have finished my first sentence..."
Bailing said with a bitter look on her face.
Luo Qingzhou put down the book, looked at her and said, "Obviously there are a few less, and there are a few more wuwu. Bailing, it seems that the uncle-in-law has to punish you a little."
After saying that, he reached out and lifted up her pink skirt.
"Ah, uncle, don't..."
Luo Qingzhou pinched her thigh hard.
"Ah! It hurts..."
Bailing's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she hurriedly continued, "Uncle, I was wrong...Uncle, I was wrong..."
He said it more than ten times in a row.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his hand and continued to read with his head down.
Bai Ling sobbed and continued, "Uncle, I will never dare to do it again next time...Uncle, I will never dare to do it again next time..."
This time, she spoke until her mouth was dry and she kept saying it over a hundred times.
Fearing that the number of times was not enough, she added a dozen more times.
"Sir, I'm done..."
Bailing had tears in her eyes and pouted her little mouth, looking pitiful and about to cry.
Luo Qingzhou then put away the book, pulled her out from under the bed, and first helped her untie the ropes on her feet. After a pause, he held her little feet in pink silk stockings and said, "It is a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. I will give you a new pair of socks as a token of encouragement."
After that, he helped her take off the pink stockings on her feet without further ado, then measured her snow-white and slender feet with his fingers and stroked them for a while before taking out a pair of white stockings and helping her put them on.
Bailing looked at him dimly, sobbed a little, and dared not say a word.
Luo Qingzhou helped her put on her stockings, then untied the belt on her wrists, helped her up, and personally tied the belt around her slender waist.
Then he said, "Okay, let's go back."
Bailing stood there in a daze for a moment, then Fang quickly ran away, picked up his shoes, and left the room.
"Squeak..."
The window suddenly opened.
She stood outside the window and angrily stretched out her hand and said, "Son-in-law, give me back my socks!"
Luo Qingzhou picked up her pink stockings from the bed, walked over and said, "Here."
Bailing was stunned for a moment, then her face changed and she turned and ran away.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the window, looked at her figure running into the courtyard and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want it anymore?"
Bai Ling turned around and said in the yard, "Stinky son-in-law, don't even think about deceiving me again! I won't be fooled by you again!"
After saying that, he immediately fled out of the yard and disappeared.
Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the window, holding the silk stockings in his hand, thinking about something, when Xiaodie came over from the corridor and stood outside the window and said, "Master, have you bullied Sister Bailing again?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "She was the one who bullied me first. I was just teaching her a lesson."
Xiaodie glanced at the stockings in his hand and sighed softly.
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What's wrong, are you jealous?"
Xiaodie shook her head and said, "Sir, when are you going to get married? When you are married, if you like someone, you can tell the Second Miss directly, and the Second Miss will agree."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "How do you know that the Second Miss will agree?"
Xiaodie said, "Sister Qiu'er said so. Sister Qiu'er said that if you like Sister Bailing and Sister Xiachan, you can ask the second young lady to help you ask the eldest young lady for them."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, a hint of thought flashing between his brows.
Xiaodie said, "Sir, I'll get busy now. By the way, do you want to wash the socks in your hand?"
"Need not."
Luo Qingzhou put it away.
Xiaodie looked at him strangely, said "Oh", and turned away.
Luo Qingzhou sat down in front of the table, calmed down for a while, and then began to think about what to do in the afternoon.
Several medicinal herbs have been collected, only one missing is the morning dew from the Xuantian Jade Maiden Tree.
So in the afternoon, Princess Nangong took him to Prince Duan's Mansion to visit Prince Duan and find a way to collect this last medicine.
Judging from his behavior and performance last time in Jinchan Temple, Prince Duan was obviously a bit shameless and overbearing, so it was not so easy to deal with him.
Fortunately, the other party seemed to be very interested in Buddhist verses.
I wonder if giving him a few more poems can exchange them for the morning dew from the Xuantian Jade Maiden Tree.
It may not be that easy.
Maybe there are other costs to pay.
Anyway, he was determined to get this last medicine, no matter what the cost.
Time flies.
Before I knew it, the sun had risen to halfway in the sky.
Luo Qingzhou said something to Xiaodie, then went out and went to Meixiang Garden.
As soon as I reached the door, I suddenly heard Miss Qin Er coughing in the courtyard.
He walked in quickly.
In front of the flower bed in the courtyard, Miss Qin Er, dressed in a plain white dress, was picking the blooming flowers.
Qiu'er stood by holding a vase.
Zhu'er held the snow-white fox fur and begged her to put it on.
Luo Qingzhou walked into the courtyard. Miss Qin Er stood up with a flower in her hand, looked at him and smiled, "Brother Qingzhou, stand there and don't move. Don't get any closer."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this and stopped where he was.
Miss Qin put the flowers in her hand into the vase, glanced at the room, and said softly: "Sister Meijiao is still sleeping, you can't go near the room, lest she sees and gets upset."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Are you so irritable?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "She's afraid you'll peek at her."
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "I'm not interested in her."
Miss Qin gave him a meaningful look, then said to Zhu'er and Qiu'er beside her, "You go into the house first."
Zhu'er quickly handed the fox fur coat to Luo Qingzhou and said, "Sir, let the young lady put it on. She just coughed again."
Luo Qingzhou agreed and took the fox fur.
The two little girls then left and went into the house.
Miss Qin frowned slightly and sighed, "Brother Qingzhou, everyone else is wearing thin clothes, but Weimo has to wear fox fur that is only worn in winter. It's so uncomfortable."
Luo Qingzhou walked over to her, helped her put on the cap and said, "Have you forgotten the plum blossom I told you about? Other flowers bloom in spring, summer and autumn, but it blooms in winter. That's why it is the most unique, the most fragrant and the most beautiful."
Miss Qin Er laughed, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, she was beautiful and charming: "Whatever Brother Qingzhou says is right, Wei Mo can't argue with you anyway. Even Sister Meijiao praised Brother Qingzhou, saying that Brother Qingzhou has a powerful mouth."
"certainly."
Miss Qin Er suddenly smiled again and whispered, "Sister Meijiao admires the hero who spread lime and poured oil to save my second brother and father. Brother Qingzhou, do you know that man?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said seriously: "I don't know him."
The two looked at each other, clasped their hands together, and suddenly laughed together.
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "No flaws revealed, right?"
Miss Qin Er also whispered, "No, on the way here this morning, I deliberately mentioned that you were reading at home last night and I went to chat with you until very late. I also said that you sent me back last night and sat here until the early morning before leaving. Don't worry, Sister Meijiao will definitely not think of you. After all, one is a weak scholar who is timid and taciturn in front of her, and the other is a powerful warrior who beats her without any courtesy."
Luo Qingzhou pinched her palm and asked, "Is your fiancé very powerful?"
Miss Qin raised her beautiful face and smiled proudly, "Of course. He is a man who is good at both civil and military affairs. He won the first place in the imperial examination, beat the first place in the martial arts examination, punched the Jinchan Temple, kicked the Qingyun Temple, and shook the princess with a pile of lime!"
Luo Qingzhou smiled and held her in his arms, then slapped her raised buttocks: "You are naughty."
Miss Qin hugged him tightly, her eyes full of tenderness, and she pouted her lips and said, "Oh, don't hit me there anymore, you rascal..."
Luo Qingzhou clapped his hands again and asked, "Who's the hooligan?"
Miss Qin Er groaned again, buried her blushing cheeks in his chest, and whimpered, "I forgot..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Admit your mistake."
Miss Qin II whimpered, "Brother Qingzhou, poor little Wei Mo was wrong, please forgive her... Ah!"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly picked her up, gently turned around in the courtyard a few times, and then put her down.
Miss Qin hugged his neck tightly, her heartbeat quickened, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Qingzhou, I want more, I want more..."
When Luo Qingzhou was about to hold her and spin around a few more times, he suddenly saw a figure standing at the gate and froze.
The two looked at each other.
Song Ruyue glanced at the happy smile on her daughter's face again and said, "You guys continue. I'll stand outside for a while. Call me when you're done."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Miss Qin Er's cheeks immediately felt hot, she left his arms, her body went limp, and she almost fell down.
Luo Qingzhou quickly supported her.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er both ran out of the house.
Miss Qin Er's heart was beating fast, she was panting, her cheeks were flushed, her body was soft, and she could hardly stand.
Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou secretly regretted it and quickly took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from his sleeve and dripped it on the back of her hand.
Miss Qin Er still had a happy smile on her face, and panted and said, "Brother Qingzhou, I... I'm fine..."
Song Ruyue walked in from outside and said seriously, "Wei Mo is not in good health, you know that, be more restrained next time."
Miss Qin blushed and said, "Mother, why do you have to use the word 'moderation'? Brother Qingzhou and I are just having fun."
Song Ruyue frowned and said, "Is it good to play with this word? Don't use it again in the future."
Miss Qin Er: "..."
Luo Qingzhou coughed and said quickly, "Mother-in-law, I'll wait outside."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left the yard.
The mother and daughter stood in the yard, talking to each other, and their voices gradually became lower.
Not long.
Nangong Meijiao came out of the house.
Luo Qingzhou was standing under a big tree outside the door, thinking about something, when several people walked out of the yard together.
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
Song Ruyue said gently, "Qingzhou, let's go. Your father-in-law has prepared some gifts for you. You can take them later. Wei Mo's medicine is only missing one last ingredient. This matter depends on you and Meijiao. Remember to be respectful when you go there. He is a prince, so you must not lose your manners..."
He kept giving me instructions along the way.
When they arrived at the front hall, Qin Wen Zheng handed the gift to him and gave him a few more instructions.
Luo Qingzhou carried the gifts, followed Princess Nangong out of the door, and then got on the carriage.
Miss Qin Er stood on the steps, looked at them and waved.
Luo Qingzhou entered the carriage, stuck his head out of the window, looked at her, and waved.
Miss Qin Er had a smile in her eyes and her lips moved slightly.
Luo Qingzhou heard her say silently: "Brother Chu Feiyang, be careful."
The carriage drove away.
Out of the alley, driving slowly on the artificial crowded streets.
Outside the window, cars and horses are flowing like water, vendors are shouting, pedestrians are talking, and the crowd is noisy and quite lively.
Luo Qingzhou sat in the carriage, head down, eyes straight ahead, and said nothing.
Nangong Meijiao crossed her arms and stared at him coldly. After a while, she said, "Why, you have nothing to say to me?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and asked respectfully, "What do you want to talk about, Princess?"
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "When are you going to marry Wei Mo?"
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou thought about the scene of Second Miss Qin having difficulty breathing in the courtyard just now, and said, "After we take this last medicine back and Second Miss's condition stabilizes after taking it, we will get married."
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Luo Qingzhou, you are actually quite good. At least you are the most responsible, bravest, and most talented man I have ever met. Of course, you are also good-looking."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, and then said: "But she is too weak. If you go out with Wei Mo in the future and encounter hooligans and bad guys, how will you protect her?"
Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, she raised her chin slightly and said, "Call me Master, and I will teach you a hidden weapon that is most effective in dealing with hooligans."
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and asked, "What hidden weapon?"
Nangong Meijiao showed a hint of pride in her eyes and said, "Lime."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"What? What's that expression on your face? Do you look down on lime?"
Nangong Meijiao's face suddenly turned cold.
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said, "No, if it's just spreading lime, there shouldn't be any need to teach it, right? Can't I just hold it in my hand and spread it like this?"
"madness!"
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, and said with disdain, "He is indeed a stupid scholar. He can do nothing except reading. For us warriors, using any hidden weapon requires skills, and spreading lime is the same. How much to spread, when to spread, where to spread, how to remain calm and still before spreading, and how to be continuous and agile after spreading, all of these require skills. How can it be as simple as you think?"
Luo Qingzhou: "...Oh."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, just call me Master. If you are embarrassed, you can call me Lime Lady. Anyway, there are only two of us here, and no one else will hear us."
Luo Qingzhou immediately bowed his hands solemnly and humbly said, "Lady Lime, please teach me the hidden weapon lime technique."
"puff!"
Nangong Meijiao just laughed, but suddenly held it back and said coldly: "Listen carefully!"
