In the hall.
Qin Wen Zheng sat back in his chair and sighed heavily.
Song Ruyue was wiping her tears.
Miss Qin Er was standing by, comforting her softly.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door, looking at the sky outside. It was unknown what he was thinking, and there was no emotion on his face.
Qin Wenzheng suddenly said, "Weimo, help your mother back to her room. I want to talk to Qingzhou."
Miss Qin Er agreed.
Song Ruyue said with red eyes: "Master, what can't you say in front of me? I want to listen too, I want to listen too."
Qin Wenzheng's face darkened and he shouted, "Go back to your room!"
"Ooooh..."
Song Ruyue didn't dare say anything and left crying.
Miss Qin Er helped her out.
When they got outside, Song Ruyue supported her again and helped her wrap the fox fur tightly around her body. She said with tears in her eyes, "Wei Mo, is mother really stupid? Your father even had to hide his conversation with Qing Zhou from me, wow..."
Miss Qin paused and whispered, "Yes, a little..."
"you!"
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then she stroked her chest and burst into tears in anger: "You are so unfilial, none of you are filial, you just know how to make me angry every day... Lang'er makes me angry, Chuan'er makes me angry, Jianjia ignores me, even you make me angry, and your husband scares and threatens me at every turn, wuwu... My life is so boring..."
When she talked about sad things, she started to sob again.
Miss Qin Er asked softly, "Mother, how did Brother Qingzhou scare you or threaten you?"
Song Ruyue wiped her tears and said, "Every time my mother mentioned something that made him unhappy, he would glare at me and be mean to me. Didn't you see how scary his eyes were? And last time in the Exiled Immortal Residence, he almost stabbed my mother with a sword. That boy is very mean!"
Miss Qin Er: "..."
The hall was silent.
After the mother and daughter left, Luo Qingzhou looked outside. Seeing that there was no one else, he walked up to Qin Wenzheng and bowed, "What do you want to ask, father-in-law?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at him, was silent for a while, and said: "Luo Changtian, and Luo Yannian, their family..."
"They were all killed by Qing Zhou."
Without waiting for him to finish, Luo Qingzhou admitted it directly with a calm face.
When these words came out, Qin Wen Zheng's heart was shocked and he looked at him stiffly.
Although he had suspected it a long time ago, he was still shocked and unbelievable when he heard him admit it so calmly.
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "They poisoned my mother. If I hadn't married into the Qin Mansion, Xiaodie and I would have been killed by them. The day I left Chengguo Mansion, I swore to wipe out their entire family without leaving a single one alive."
Qin Wen Zheng's body was trembling. He wanted to pick up the tea and take a sip to calm his emotions, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't lift the teacup.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Then Luo Yu..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I was the one who killed him. I deliberately let him take the exam for Dragon Tiger College, and deliberately killed him when he got the first place and was full of hope. At that time, he was in his mother's arms, and his mother's eyes were full of heartache and despair, but he didn't know that in Chengguo Mansion, there was also a mother and son who were threatened by him and his mother and were full of despair... So, I cut off his head in front of his mother..."
"Then, his mother, his brother, and his father... Of course, there are also those Jinyiwei..."
Luo Qingzhou spoke all this slowly, his face remained calm from beginning to end, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
Qin Wenzheng listened with a complicated expression, and sat in silence for a long time before looking at him and saying, "Qingzhou, you... are you alone?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."
Qin Wen Zheng fell silent again and did not speak for a long time.
Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "Father-in-law, Qingzhou is not a bloodthirsty person, and has never killed any innocent person. Qingzhou is now a member of the Qin family, so no matter who it is, as long as he wants to hurt my family, I will make him die first."
After a pause, he continued, "Including the one in the Golden Palace."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him with complicated eyes for a while, and said in a difficult voice: "Qingzhou, I didn't expect... Father-in-law really didn't expect... All of this was actually done by you. I had doubts before, but after thinking about it carefully, who are those people? They are all top-notch masters. Even if you hide deeply, how can one person... Alas, father-in-law still underestimated you."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "In fact, if Qingzhou were alone, he would never be able to take revenge. He has the protection of the Qin family, the help of the second young lady, the help of Princess Meijiao, and... the help of other people."
At this point, he raised his head and slowly said, "The reason why Qingzhou is where he is today is because of my father-in-law, the Qin family, and the tolerance and kindness of the eldest lady. Qingzhou is just a son-in-law of low status, and he is also a homeless vagrant who was driven out. However, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, the eldest lady and the second lady, my second brother, and even all the maids and servants in the Qin Mansion have never looked down on or hurt Qingzhou, and they have always protected and helped Qingzhou. Qingzhou and Xiaodie will never forget this kindness. So, my father-in-law, rest assured, as long as Qingzhou is alive, he will never allow anyone to bully our Qin family."
Qin Wen Zheng's eyes were moist. He stood up and patted his shoulder, and said with a look of relief: "Okay, Qingzhou, your father-in-law was not wrong about you, and Wei Mo was not wrong about you either. You are a good man, and I, Qin Wen Zheng, have never cared about these identities. As long as you are good to Wei Mo, that's enough."
At this point, he sighed again: "Lang'er is stubborn, and I can't blame him. I have taught him since he was a child to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to take the revitalization of the family as his top priority. It is understandable that he can't change his mind for a while. But don't worry, no matter what, he will not do anything to hurt the Qin family. Don't blame him, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy, it's my fault."
Luo Qingzhou said, "Father-in-law, you are too serious. Actually, my brother is not wrong. In the eyes of most people, we are wrong to stand with the captain and princess. The emperor is the orthodox one, and all the court officials support him. Now that he is using my brother, my brother sees the hope of revitalizing the family, so he naturally wants to show his ability. My brother thinks that if he performs well, the conflict between the emperor and our Qin family will naturally be resolved. Moreover, my brother's wish is to fight on the battlefield and use his own efforts to win back the title for the Qin family. This is what a man should do. Therefore, Qingzhou admires my brother very much and will never blame him for this matter."
Qin Wen Zheng's heart suddenly surged with warmth, and he sighed: "Qing Zhou, it is a blessing for my Qin family to have a son-in-law like you. It is the manifestation of my Qin family's ancestors."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Qingzhou is lucky to come to the Qin family. Being able to marry the second young lady is also a blessing from my previous life."
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Qingzhou, um... have you visited Jianjia recently?"
Luo Qingzhou panicked for a moment, and said quickly: "I go sometimes. The Second Miss is weak, so Qingzhou goes to pay respects on her behalf. Every time, it's in the back garden, and Qingzhou leaves immediately after paying respects."
Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Your father-in-law doesn't blame you for anything. Even if you go every day, it's okay. After all, Jianjia is your ex-wife, and you were formally married. Jianjia is a loner, so it's only right for you to visit her often. Don't be afraid of your mother-in-law. Go whenever you want, talk to Jianjia more, and take her out to play and relax when you have time. I'll support you with your mother-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at him, not knowing whether he was testing him or speaking sincerely, and lowered his head and said, "I will let the Second Miss go more often."
Qin Wenzheng's eyes flickered, and he asked, "By the way, how are your studies going recently?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Fortunately, I have finished reciting it."
Qin Wenzheng nodded and said, "I have memorized all the books for the exam, but I have to read more of the other books. After all, I may have to take the palace exam and I need to improvise. Books like "Da Yan Customs", "Da Yan History", "Da Yan Etiquette" and so on need to be read more and understand more."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Qingzhou knows."
Qin Wenzheng's lips moved, as if he was about to say something. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back to study first. If anything happens, I'll have someone notify you. Remember to talk to Jianjia more often, otherwise it's too quiet there."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes, father-in-law, then Qingzhou will take his leave."
Having said that, he stepped back.
Qin Wenzheng watched his back disappear into the corridor outside. He was stunned for a moment and sighed, "This kid is so good at hiding. I never dreamed that he could do all these things by himself... But, he is so smart, but why is he so stupid about the things around him? Oh, I am too embarrassed to speak up about this matter. I can only rely on Wei Mo..."
Luo Qingzhou returned to Meixiang Garden, had lunch, and then took Xiaodie to the Exiled Immortal Residence to continue his cultivation.
Just after practicing the internal energy skills, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and took a look, and it turned out to be sent by Princess Meijiao.
Xiao Meijiao: Chu Feiyang, you are dead. Qin Lang has become the commander of the Jinyiwei. He just came to my house and asked me about you. Let's see what you can do now. The previous commander of the Jinyiwei, the deputy commander, and the Jinyiwei who investigated Chu Feiyang are all dead. If he doesn't die, the emperor will be suspicious. But he is Qin Lang, the eldest son of the Qin family, Wei Mo's elder brother, and your... It's over. What are you going to do now
Luo Qingzhou: What did the princess say to him
Xiao Meijiao: I said I do know Chu Feiyang, and we have a good relationship. I brought him home at the beginning, but I don’t know where Chu Feiyang lives, who is in his family, and where he is now. He came in alone, and his men were all outside the gate. They were very polite to me and left after asking questions. But I can see that he really wants to find out this case, and he probably won’t give up.
Luo Qingzhou: It’s okay, let him check it out
Xiao Meijiao: What if it turns out to be you
Luo Qingzhou: At most he can find out that it is Chu Feiyang, so let him go to Lingxiao Sect to find someone.
Xiao Meijiao: This is not a solution. If you let him continue to investigate like this, you will be exposed sooner or later. If you don't expose yourself, he may be suspected and punished.
Luo Qingzhou: It’s okay, just wait a little longer, the weather will change soon.
Xiao Meijiao: What does that mean
Luo Qingzhou: Nothing, the New Year is coming soon, a new year, a new beginning
Xiao Meijiao: I am worried about you and the Qin family
Luo Qingzhou: Thank you, Princess, but don't worry, you know, no one can hurt me, and no one can hurt the Qin family. You also saw that people like that disappeared in advance, didn't you
Xiao Meijiao: Brother Feiyang, you are so domineering. I, the humble and pitiful Xiao Meijiao, really admire you! Come to Xiao Meijiao's boudoir secretly tonight. Xiao Meijiao will love you well! I'll tell you secretly that Xiao Meijiao's toenails are painted in your favorite pink.
Luo Qingzhou: No more talking, it’s time to study
Xiao Meijiao: Awooo, bite you!
Luo Qingzhou: Awooo, I'll bite you too. Okay, I really need to study now.
Xiao Meijiao: Oh
Luo Qingzhou: Yeah
Another small courtyard, in the back garden.
In the pavilion, a girl in a snow-white dress was sitting in front of a stone table. She lowered her head and quietly looked at the jade in her hand. A hint of doubt appeared on her flawless face.
"Awooo... bite you..."
"What...does it mean?"
