Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to move again.
At this moment, he was really frightened.
Even those two times weren't as scary as this time.
After all, there was only Miss Qin Er on the bed at the time, and the two were truly in love at the time. Even if they were discovered, it would not be a big deal. At most they would be scolded.
But this time…
Not only the second lady is lying on the bed, but also the eldest lady!
If this were discovered, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot by the furious mother-in-law. Even if he was not beaten to death, he would never be able to hold his head up in the mansion again.
What made him even more terrified and trembling was that at this moment, the mother-in-law was standing by the bed, taking off the hairpin on her head, and preparing to come up...
Luo Qingzhou was terrified and secretly said that his life was over...
At this critical moment, Miss Qin Er suddenly coughed twice and said softly: "Mother, you...you stand away, you feel cold..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed a few more times.
When Song Ruyue heard this, her face suddenly changed. She hurriedly retreated outside the bead curtain and said anxiously, "Oh, mother forgot that she has a snowstorm! Weimo, how are you? Are you coughing up blood again? Do you want Qiu'er and the others to boil the medicine?"
Miss Qin said weakly: "Mother, I'm fine, I just feel a little sleepy and want to sleep..."
Song Ruyue said with guilt again: "Oh, it's mother's fault, it's mother's fault, it's mother's negligence. It's snowing hard outside, you continue to sleep, mother should go to the front and wait for your father."
After saying that, he quickly fastened his clothes, straightened his hair, and then quickly left the room.
Luo Qingzhou's tense body finally relaxed, and his heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, finally fell down.
"Huh..."
He couldn't help but let out a breath and found that his back was covered with cold sweat.
However, he did not dare to be careless. He pricked up his ears and listened to the noise outside. Only after the footsteps faded away from the courtyard did he hurriedly get up and get out of bed trembling.
Miss Qin Er pulled him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, it's okay. Mother has left. You can sleep with Weimo for a while."
Luo Qingzhou shook off her hand and immediately slid away.
Miss Qin Er pouted and said faintly: "Brother Qingzhou, don't you love your wife anymore?"
Luo Qingzhou helped her close the curtains and said angrily, "No more favors!"
After saying that, he hurriedly fled from the inner room.
Miss Qin Er saw him almost fall down, and she chuckled, "Brother Qingzhou, are your legs weak from fear?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't have time to pay attention to her, for he was afraid that his mother-in-law would strike back like she did last time, and that would be the end of him.
He listened to the noise outside, then immediately walked to the door and said, "I'm going to the Exiled Immortal Residence to study."
As he said that, he opened the door and prepared to put on his shoes.
Qiu'er just came in from the door holding a teapot. Seeing this, she quickly put down the teapot and prepared to help him put on his shoes.
But how come the shoes that were clearly placed in the corner at the door disappeared
"Uncle, where are your shoes?"
Qiu Er asked.
Luo Qingzhou stared at her and said, "Didn't you help me take off my shoes last night? Where are my shoes?"
Qiu'er blinked, stunned for a moment, and looked around again, but still couldn't find it.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly thought of something, and his heart trembled. He said, "Qiu'er, go out and take a look at the flower bed in the yard."
Qiu'er was startled when she heard this, then she immediately came to her senses and hurried out.
After a moment.
She walked in carrying a pair of wet shoes with a strange expression on her face: "Son-in-law, I found the shoes... but they are not in the flower bed, they are soaking in the water tank in the corner..."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Qiu'er took a look at the expression on his face and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She put the wet shoes in her hand on the corridor outside and said, "Son-in-law, wait a minute. I made you a pair of new shoes a few days ago. Try them on."
As he said that, he walked into the room, quickly took out a pair of new shoes, squatted down and helped him put them on his feet.
Luo Qingzhou took a few steps, shook his feet, and said, "Just right, very comfortable."
Then he whispered, "Qiu'er, don't tell anyone about your son-in-law's shoes being thrown into the water tank, okay?"
Qiu Er nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I won't tell anyone."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, saying, "Uncle knows that Qiu'er's little mouth is very tight."
Qiu'er drooped her eyelashes and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Luo Qingzhou went out and said, "If you have anything, come to the Exiled Immortal Residence to find me. If my father-in-law comes back, remember to tell me."
Qiu'er looked at his back infatuatedly and agreed softly.
Luo Qingzhou came to the Exiled Immortal Residence with something on his mind, went straight into the study, and sat down at the table on the windowsill.
After thinking for a while, Fang took out the book and read aloud carefully.
Outside the window, the sky is dark and the wind and snow are still blowing.
Soon, Xiaodie came into the courtyard carrying a basket and clothes, and said in a crisp voice, "Sir, I am here to serve you."
Luo Qingzhou looked out the window and said, "Are you not busy today?"
Xiaodie sighed and said, "Madam asked me not to go for the time being, saying that I should sell all the clothes first before making new ones. Business is so good, I don't know what Madam is thinking. If I wait until all the clothes are sold out before making new ones, it will definitely be too late."
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said, "Listen to my wife, and take this opportunity to have a good rest for a few days."
Xiaodie said "Oh", walked into the hall, put down the basket, then went to light a fire, boil water, sweep the floor and make tea.
Luo Qingzhou continued to read in the study.
It was noon.
Miss Qin II, wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and carrying food, entered the courtyard accompanied by Qiu'er and Zhu'er.
Qiu'er supported her and Zhu'er held an umbrella for her.
The two little girls had clear division of labor and cooperated very well.
Xiaodie quickly put down the embroidery in her hand, stood up and greeted Miss Qin Er.
Luo Qingzhou collected the books and asked, "Is my father-in-law back?"
Miss Qin Er entered the study, placed the food box on the dining table on the couch, and said softly, "Daddy just came back. He didn't sleep all night last night, so he went to bed."
Luo Qingzhou felt relieved after hearing this, and stood up to close the window, and asked, "Did you tell me where you were last night?"
Miss Qin Er said, "They are locked up in the government office. Daddy said that the government office was full of people last night. Anyone who didn't go home at that time was arrested. Especially the warriors, they were all strictly checked. Many warriors were taken into the cell as suspects. There are many soldiers on the streets outside, searching and arresting people everywhere."
Zhu'er and Qiu'er came in, lit the lamp, took the hand warmer, moved the stove outside in, lit the incense, and then left.
Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er both got on the couch and started chatting while eating.
"Dad said that both the outer city and the inner city are sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The streets are full of soldiers arresting people. Brother Qingzhou, you should not go out for a while. It's very dangerous."
"I know. I definitely won't go out again recently."
"That martial arts school..."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. After all, I am the direct disciple. Master should also know what happened yesterday. I guess other people don't dare to go out today."
"Brother Qingzhou, Weimo is a little scared."
"Don't be afraid. Even if they find out, they will go to find Chu Feiyang. It has nothing to do with us."
"… "
"Second Miss, um... When the eldest lady got up in the morning, she didn't say anything to you, right?"
"Yes."
"Ah? What did the young lady say?"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly became nervous.
Miss Qin Er said: "My sister said that Brother Qingzhou touched her."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
But he not only touched her, he also touched the young lady's feet. Would the young lady know about it
Miss Qin Er saw that he was nervous, so she chuckled and said, "You were just kidding. My sister didn't even wake up. She didn't know you touched her. After she got up in the morning, she left without saying anything."
Luo Qingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "I will never pamper you again next time. You always cheat me. The first two times were okay, but this time the young lady is here. If my mother-in-law sees it..."
At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Second Miss, my mother-in-law seems to know. When I went out to put on my shoes this morning, someone threw my shoes into the water tank in the yard..."
Miss Qin Er: "..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "..."
The two were silent for a while.
Miss Qin Er suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Qingzhou, don't scare yourself. It might have been thrown by someone else."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Who would throw my shoes?"
Miss Qin Er guessed, "It could be Zhu'er, or it could be Bailing and Chanchan. You scare Zhu'er and bully Bailing and Chanchan all day long, so it could be any of the three."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought: "Zhu'er is unlikely, that girl wouldn't dare. As for Bailing and Chanchan... it's really possible. Don't look at Chanchan as honest, in fact, that girl has a bad temper. Last night..."
"What happened last night?"
Miss Qin II stared at him.
Luo Qingzhou almost let it slip, saying: "Chanchan and Bailing both slept there last night, so it's very likely that they were the culprit. Especially Bailing, that girl is the most mischievous and can do anything. She is the most suspicious. However, if it is really her this time, then the two times in Mocheng..."
Miss Qin Er said, "It could be her. Anyway, mother never admitted it those two times. Brother Qingzhou, why do you always bully Bailing? No wonder she loves to take revenge on you."
Luo Qingzhou was speechless and could only say: "It was that girl who bullied me first."
Miss Qin Er helped him pick up some food and suddenly asked, "Brother Qingzhou, is my sister fragrant?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Didn't you touch my sister this morning? Did she smell good?"
Luo Qingzhou's face froze, and he said, "Don't say that. It's all your fault. If the young lady finds out, how can I face her in the future? She hates me anyway..."
Miss Qin Er looked puzzled: "Brother Qingzhou, when did I say I hated you?"
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said, "That night when my elder brother came back, didn't he want to arrange a blind date for my eldest daughter? My eldest daughter said she didn't like men, and my mother-in-law was very worried, so she kept me here and asked me a lot of questions, but I couldn't tell them. Then that night when I went to pay my respects to my eldest daughter, I was ready to test her, but she took the initiative to tell me. Guess what my eldest daughter said?"
Miss Qin Er asked curiously, "What did my sister say?"
Luo Qingzhou showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said: "The eldest lady said that she doesn't dislike men, she just doesn't like... philandering men..."
After hearing this, Miss Qin was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled and said, "So Brother Qingzhou thinks that Sister is hinting at something and actually hates you, right?"
Luo Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "Isn't it obvious? Although I'm not unfaithful at all, the tone and look of the young lady at that time... Hey, I wanted to explain at that time, but I thought of you, Xia Chan, the princess, Xiaodie and Qiu'er, and then... I was at a loss for words..."
Miss Qin Er smiled and her eyes curved: "Brother Qingzhou is quite self-aware."
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said, "So, the young lady must have despised me in her heart. If she had found out that I touched her this morning, she would probably..."
Miss Qin's smile faded slightly, and she said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, don't underestimate yourself. Although Brother Qingzhou is indeed a playboy, it's not all Brother Qingzhou's fault. Who made Brother Qingzhou so outstanding and so charming? The girls around him all took the initiative to approach him, and Brother Qingzhou was forced to accept them, wasn't it?"
After listening to this, Luo Qingzhou was stunned, blinked his eyes, and suddenly held her hand and said: "Wei Mo, you are not only my good wife, but also my good confidant. Only you understand my helplessness and grievances. I was indeed forced..."
Miss Qin Er was amused by him again and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Qingzhou, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."
Luo Qingzhou took her little hand and kissed it affectionately, then continued to eat.
Miss Qin Er whispered: "Brother Qingzhou is really thick-skinned..."
Luo Qingzhou pretended not to hear.
After he finished his meal, Miss Qin Er said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, remember to visit my sister tonight. If she wants to hear a story, brother Qingzhou will tell her a story. After all, we are a family, brother Qingzhou, don't feel embarrassed and don't go. My sister doesn't like to chat with people, but she likes to listen to your stories. In this mansion, only brother Qingzhou can help her."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you going?"
Miss Qin Er said, "I'm going to talk to Dad tonight, and Brother Qingzhou will go alone. What's wrong, is Brother Qingzhou scared?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'm not scared, I'm just a little... It's okay, I'll go tonight."
The two chatted for a while.
After dinner.
Miss Qin Er took Qiu'er and Zhu'er away.
Luo Qingzhou thought about something for a while and continued to read at his desk.
It was snowing heavily outside the window, with no sign of stopping.
In the evening.
Luo Qingzhou put away the books and took Xiaodie back to Meixiang Garden.
The room was empty; Miss Qin had already left.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated in the room for a while before taking his umbrella and going to Lingchan Moon Palace alone.
I think the young lady didn’t notice what happened this morning
Probably not.
When he arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace, the clear singing of larks could be heard from the courtyard.
In the back garden, the melodious sound of a piano could be faintly heard.
Is that Miss Qin playing the piano
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and listened for a while, and suddenly remembered that Bailing seemed to have asked him to compose a song for the eldest lady last time.
"Son-in-law, if you help the young lady compose a song, I will give you a few packets of more powerful medicine, okay?"
It seems to be said that way.
Luo Qingzhou searched carefully in his mind and quickly decided on a song.
—The famous classical music "Spring River Moonlight Night".
Coincidentally, this is also a good poem about the moon.
"The river and the sky are one color without a speck of dust, and the bright moon is alone in the sky. Who was the first person to see the moon by the river? When did the moon by the river first shine on people..."
I wonder if the young lady will like it
Luo Qingzhou thought for a while before walking into the courtyard and said, "Bai Ling, the son-in-law is here to get the medicine."
Bai Ling's clear singing voice suddenly stopped, and she looked at him in confusion: "Medicine? What medicine?"
Luo Qingzhou said seriously: "Medicine for curing shivers. I have thought about it carefully. I can no longer shiver with you. I am a gentleman and an honest scholar. How can I often do such abominable things to you? So I have to stop that abominable behavior immediately! But Bailing, you are so pink and tender and so cute. I can't control myself, so I want to take medicine to control myself."
Bai Ling: “…”
"Xiao Bailing, do you have any medicine?"
"snort!"
"Hmm, is there, or isn't there?"
Bailing pouted, turned around and walked away, angrily not wanting to pay any more attention to him.
