South of the city, at the entrance of Lane 18.
Sister Dao was holding a pancake in her hand, eating it while waiting.
When she finished eating two cakes and was about to leave, Luo Qingzhou came running from the alley next to her, stuffed two bags of wedding candy into her hands, and said, "I had something to do last night, so I'm late today. Sorry."
Sister Dao glanced at the wedding candy in her hand and raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought you couldn't get up today, so I was just about to ask Master for leave for you. Chu Feiyang, this isn't your first wedding night, are you that hungry? You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
As Luo Qingzhou walked towards the martial arts hall with her, he said, "It is true that I didn't sleep all night, but it's not what you think. Let's not talk about it. I have to practice hard and strive to break through to the late martial artist this month."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Sister Dao asked, "Did something go wrong at the wedding yesterday?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "There was a small incident, but it has been resolved."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Sister Dao didn't ask any more questions and said, "There are still more than ten days left this month. Are you sure you can break through to the late stage of martial arts?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'm not sure, but we can try."
Sister Dao took a piece of wedding candy, peeled it and put it in her mouth, saying, "You will have to go to the sect to worship the ancestors when the time comes. If you can really break through to the late martial artist realm by then, you will definitely need resources."
As the two were talking, they soon arrived at the martial arts gym.
He first greeted his master, then greeted Zhang Yuanshan and others, and then each went to find a place to practice.
Luo Qingzhou went to the martial arts training ground at the back.
In the morning, he practiced internal energy and continued to practice the Lingfeng Fist taught by his master in the afternoon until his whole body was exhausted.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, everyone was sweating profusely and felt exhausted. After simply saying hello, they went home.
Luo Qingzhou and Sister Dao separated in Alley 18. Before leaving, Sister Dao said, "Chu Feiyang, if you need any help, just ask."
She seemed to see that this guy was worried about something today.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Lend me some gold coins. I don't have to pay them back."
"Go away, pretend I didn't say anything just now."
Sister Dao's expression changed immediately, and she turned around and left.
Luo Qingzhou smiled and went into the alley next to him.
After returning to the Qin Mansion.
He first went to the Exiled Immortal Residence and asked Xiaodie to stand guard at the door. Then he washed his hair with well water, took a bath, and changed into a clean Confucian robe.
While drying his hair, he asked Xiaodie, "Did anyone come to see me today?"
Xiaodie shook her head and said, "No, it was just that Sister Qiu'er came over and talked to me for a while before she left."
"What did you say?"
"It was just about making clothes, and we just chatted for a while."
"oh."
"Sir, did you have your wedding night with the Second Miss last night?"
"It's a hole."
"Ah, the second young lady's body..."
"We just slept together, nothing else."
"Oh, that's what I thought too. After all, the Second Miss is too weak. Sir, don't take any risks."
"Xiaodie."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "I might have to spend the wedding night with Qiu'er tonight. After all, I am getting married to the Second Young Miss. According to the rules, if the Young Miss is ill, the maid has to take over, otherwise it won't count as a wedding night. And I've promised the Second Young Miss and Qiu'er."
Xiaodie said: "Oh, don't be afraid, sir. Sister Qiu'er is very gentle, and she knows a lot of things."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "What am I afraid of? If anyone is afraid, it should be her. I'm just telling you something."
Xiaodie smiled and said, "Sir, please be gentle. Sister Qiu'er treats me very well."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It depends on her performance. If she doesn't perform well, I will make her cry. If she performs well, I will still let her cry."
"Ah? Why?"
"One is crying out of pain, the other is crying out of joy, Xiaodie, don't you know this?"
"Oh, young master is so bad."
Luo Qingzhou hugged her and said, "You just slandered me, Xiaodie, but now I will make you cry with joy!"
"Ah, don't..."
When the master and servant were playing in the courtyard, Qiu'er suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Son-in-law, Xiaodie, the young lady is calling you back for dinner."
Luo Qingzhou then put Xiaodie down, took his hand out of her clothes, turned around and looked at her and asked, "When did you come?"
Qiu Er chuckled and said, "When Master mentioned me, I was already outside."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Xiaodie's cheeks immediately turned red, and she quickly ran over and said, "Sister Qiu'er, let's go and ignore that bad guy."
Qiu Er smiled and left with her, turning around and saying, "Sir, the young lady and the princess are all waiting, come quickly."
"Princess?"
Luo Qingzhou felt a headache when he heard these two words.
When he arrived at Meixiang Garden, he found that there was not just one princess but two.
When Nangong Xueyi saw him coming back, she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Luo, I recently wrote a new ending for The Story of the Stone. I'll read it out to you and see if it fits."
“Not appropriate.”
Luo Qingzhou said directly.
Nangong Xueyi was stunned when she heard this, and said angrily: "I haven't even read it yet."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I have already written the ending. For me, that is the most suitable one. If Princess Xueyi feels that it is not suitable, you can modify it yourself, but you don't need to ask for my opinion. Because no matter how Princess Xueyi modifies it, I will say it is not suitable."
Nangong Xueyi immediately said anxiously: "Mr. Luo, your ending is really inappropriate. Just listen to my ending. I think my ending is the most appropriate."
Luo Qingzhou went straight into the house and said, "I don't want to listen."
Just as Nangong Xueyi was about to chase him in, Nangong Meijiao grabbed her and said coldly, "Shut up. Someone else wrote the story, so why do you want to change the ending? If you have the ability, just write it yourself, don't be unreasonable."
Nangong Xueyi immediately became angry and said, "Meijiao, what's your attitude? I'm the older sister!"
Nangong Meijiao pulled her out directly and said, "Let's go. I'll ask Aunt Mu to take you home. You didn't go home last night, and Daddy and Mommy are already very worried."
Nangong Xueyi's face suddenly changed when she heard it. She hugged her arms and said while struggling: "Sister, you are the sister! I was wrong, please don't send me back. I got out with great difficulty, wuwu... Weimo, help... Master Luo, save me..."
Miss Qin Er suppressed her laughter and said, "Sister Meijiao, forget it, let Sister Xueyi finish her meal before leaving."
Nangong Meijiao said: "We can't eat at all when she is here. She talks too much."
Nangong Xueyi immediately said, "Sister, good sister, I won't speak again. Can't I just shut up? I swear."
Nangong Meijiao then stopped, looked at her coldly and said, "Then swear."
Nangong Xueyi had a bitter face and wanted to act coquettishly to fool her, but seeing that her face was not right, she had to raise her hand and swear: "I swear, I will never... I will talk less later. If I talk too much, I will turn into a puppy and let you ride on me, okay?"
Nangong Meijiao sneered and then let go of her hand.
Nangong Xueyi rubbed her wrist and said with a look of resentment: "You are so fierce and you still practice martial arts. Who will dare to marry you in the future?"
Nangong Meijiao looked at her coldly.
Nangong Xueyi immediately hid behind Miss Qin Er, poked her head out, stuck out her tongue at her, and said, "Meijiao, I advise you to hide the whip around your waist. If you do this, you will never be able to get married."
At this time, the maid brought the food into the living room.
Zhu Er said at the door: "Miss, two princesses, please come in and have dinner. The son-in-law is already eating."
As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Xueyi ran in immediately.
Miss Qin Er and Nangong Meijiao also walked in.
Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the table and said innocently, "I just took a few glances and didn't eat it. Don't listen to Zhu'er's nonsense."
When Zhu'er was about to speak again, Qiu'er covered her mouth and dragged her out.
"Qiu'er, what are you doing? Uncle really ate it just now."
In the corridor, Zhu Er said angrily: "I really didn't lie."
Qiu'er pulled her a few steps further away and whispered, "The uncle has already married the young lady, and he will be our master in the future. In front of outsiders, you must protect the uncle instead of exposing his shortcomings. Even if the uncle really ate it, you can't say it, and you have to help conceal it. Zhu'er, if you do this again in the future, the young lady will really send you away."
When Zhu'er heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and said with a bitter face: "Qiu'er, I... I said it myself, I can't control it..."
Qiu Er was speechless, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, my son-in-law will help you control it later."
"ah?"
Qiu'er ignored her and went into the house.
Xiaodie was helping the four people pour fruit wine and said, "This is what Madam brought. She said it's sweet and doesn't taste like alcohol at all."
Luo Qingzhou picked it up and took a sip. It tasted like juice, sweet and fragrant, and indeed had no taste of alcohol.
"Second Miss, try taking a sip. It tastes pretty good."
He picked up another cup and handed it to Miss Qin Er.
Qin Weimo took it in his hand and wanted to correct his address, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, there were other people here and there was no need to show affection in front of them.
Besides, he has gotten used to it, so it doesn’t matter whether he changes it or not.
Luo Qingzhou picked up the wine glass again, looked at Nangong Meijiao who was standing opposite him, and said, "Princess Meijiao, I want to toast you. Thank you for taking the trouble to help us inform the princess last night."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him, without touching the wine glass, and said lightly: "I was not the one who notified them last night. Although I was there, someone else had already notified them."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this. When he was about to ask again, Miss Qin Er beside him said, "Brother Qingzhou, Weimo will tell you about this matter tonight."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions, but still raised his glass and said, "Even so, the princess has worked hard. Qingzhou toasts you a glass."
Nangong Meijiao paused, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip perfunctorily.
Luo Qingzhou drank it all in one gulp, was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Princess, I actually have one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
Nangong Meijiao said: "Call me Sister Jiao."
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "Sister Jiao."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "Speak."
Luo Qingzhou said, "I want Sister Jiao to help me find out about the Zhongwu Marquis's Mansion. That should be Luo Changtian's residence, where Luo Yannian and his wife live. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Changtian must need a lot of money to maintain relationships with other officials. Luo Yannian will definitely spend a lot of money to help him manage these relationships. I want to know what industries they have in Kyoto, what business they are doing, and how many people they have. I want to know any news about them."
After these words were spoken, the table fell into silence.
After a while.
Nangong Meijiao said: "Okay, I'll help you find out."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Thank you, Princess."
This time, Nangong Meijiao didn't ask him to call her "Sister Jiao". She was silent for a while and asked, "Did you see them last night?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "I saw it."
Nangong Meijiao suddenly looked to the side and said, "Xue Yi, you can go back now."
Nangong Xueyi: “???”
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "We need to talk about business, please leave."
Nangong Xueyi immediately said: "I didn't say anything, and I won't tell anyone else, I swear."
Nangong Meijiao looked at her coldly and said nothing more.
Miss Qin Er didn't say anything either.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and stroked the wine glass on the table, with no other expression on his face.
Nangong Xueyi had no choice but to stand up aggrievedly and said, "Okay, then I'll go..."
At this point, she suddenly sobbed: "You are the family, I am an outsider, wuwu, I am leaving, I will never come again..."
After saying that, he ran out.
Miss Qin Er hurriedly said, "Zhu'er, go follow the princess, and let Aunt Mu accompany you."
Zhu'er quickly agreed and chased after him.
Miss Qin Er said again: "Qiu'er, close the door, you and Xiaodie go out."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qiu'er and Xiaodie went out immediately and closed the door from the outside.
The living room was brightly lit with oil lamps and candles, and the table full of dishes looked quite exquisite.
After a while of silence, Miss Qin II spoke softly, "Sister Meijiao, Brother Qingzhou's mother was murdered..."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Meijiao's face suddenly changed.
After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "In fact, I had already guessed it, otherwise the second son of the Luo family would not have..."
She didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and didn't respond.
Miss Qin Er glanced at him and said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, if you have any problems in the future, you can ask Sister Meijiao for help. She lives in the inner city and has many people around her. It's much more convenient than you doing it alone."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Qingzhou, don't be embarrassed. You owe Sister Meijiao, just remember it in your heart and pay her back when you have the chance in the future."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at her and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, then he looked up at her and said calmly, "I want to take away everything they have little by little, then make the people they care about most disappear, let them despair in pain, suffer in despair, let their families be broken up, and then... let them see my mother."
The tone was flat, as if without a trace of emotion.
But when Nangong Meijiao heard it, it made her feel cold in her heart and terrified.
She met his gaze, looking into his eyes, but could not see any hatred in his eyes, but she knew that these words were true.
He can actually do it, and he's about to do it.
Or, already did.
Because the Second Young Master Luo has disappeared.
She was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll help you."
After a pause, she continued, "But you also have to help me do something."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled and said, "Princess, please speak."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him with a calm expression: "Help me find a man named Chu Feiyang, and ask him to wait for me at West Lake tomorrow evening. I will throw lime on his face and whip him, so that he will not run away, do not resist, and die obediently."
The living room was silent for a few breaths.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Okay."
