“Did Brother-in -law buy a lot of candied hawthorn?’

Qin Weimo thought to herself.

Surrounded by maidservants and grannies, they arrived at Luo Qingzhou’s residence.

However, the door of the small courtyard was closed and locked.

He was no longer there.

Qin Weimo stood outside the door in a daze.

Zhu’er hurriedly went forward to look at the iron lock. She turned around and said, “Sir should have just left not long ago. I’ll bring people to look for him now.”

Qin Weimo hesitated for a moment and shook her head. “Forget it. He might have other things to do. Let’s go back.” “But Miss, it’s not easy for you to come out…

“It’s fine. Let’s go back.”

Qin Weimo looked at the closed door again. With Qiu’er’s help and the other maidservants’ help, she turned around and left.

Zhu’er was fuming. She raised her leg and kicked the closed door. She yelled, “Damn it, he’s not here every time Miss comes! He’s doing it on purpose!”

When Qin Weimo and the others passed by the Ling Chan Moon Palace, they suddenly saw Bai Ling standing at the door, eating a stick of candied hawthorn.

There was only one candied hawthorn left. She only dared to lick it with her tongue, as if she could not bear to eat it.

“Second Young Miss, why did you come out?”

Bai Ling saw them and hurriedly greeted them.

Qin Weimo glanced at the candied hawthorn in her hand and asked gently, “Bai

Ling, did Brother-in-law give you this candied hawthorn?”

When Bai Ling heard her mention the candied hawthorn, she suddenly said aggrievedly, “Yes, but Sir is so biased. He actually gave Chanchan two skewers and only gave me one. Chanchan never cared about Sir. I’m the one who treats him the best. I’m very disappointed with him.”

Qin Weimo smiled. “I saw Chanchan just now too. I’m guessing that she asked for it herself. Brother-in-law didn’t know how to reject her, so he gave it to her.”

Bai Ling blinked and politely extended the last candied hawthorn in her hand.

She asked, “Second Young Miss, d-do you want to eat it?”

As she spoke, she shrank her hand back, clearly not wanting to give it to her.

Then, she added, “I… I’ve already licked it earlier.”

Zhu’er glared at her.

Qin Weimo smiled and said, “There’s no need to give me this. You can have it. I should go back.”

Bai Ling immediately retracted her hand and waved happily. “Second Young Miss, goodbye! It’s windy outside. Go back quickly.”

As she spoke, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked the candied hawthorn. Qin Weimo was escorted away by everyone.

After the group of people walked away, Bai Ling retracted her gaze and took a bite of the candied hawthorn in her hand. She turned to look in the direction where Luo Qingzhou lived and muttered, “Second Young Miss and Sir… Something’s not right..

She then turned around and returned to her room, shouting: “Chanchan! Bad Chanchan! Give me another one, and I’ll tell you a secret…”

BANG!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In the bamboo forest in the northwest corner of Moonlight Rain Court.

Luo Qingzhou was naked and only wore a pair of shorts. He was cultivating.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the wind was biting cold.

However, his entire body was hot, and his skin gradually became hot. Sweat flowed down his lustrous skin like rain.

The falling snowflakes melted before they even got close to him.

He was bashing the tree that had fallen to the ground from afternoon all the way to evening.

The originally intact tree trunk had become as soft as cotton. It was a tragic sight.

BANG!

The remaining tree stump was also split into two by his last punch.

After practicing Thunder Fist two more times, he stopped and went home.

Just as he was heating up the bowl of chicken soup in the kitchen, Xiao Die returned with the food.

After dinner, the master and servant finished their chicken soup. Seeing that the sky was already dark, they took their clothes and went to the lake to take a shower.

Soaking in such a hot lake was the most comfortable in cold weather.

Snowflakes fell.

The surface of the lake was steamy and hazy.

The two of them went into the water naked.

Luo Oingzhou sat on a rock in the shallow water.

Xiao Die stood behind him and gently rubbed his back.

The two of them chatted casually.

Xiao Die suddenly asked about his trip to the Chengguo Residence today.

“Young Master, when you went back today, did anyone bully you?”

Luo Qingzhou rubbed his arms and smiled. “With Miss Chanchan around, who would dare?”

Xiao Die frowned and said, “Young Master, don’t go back next time. There… Everyone there is bad.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment. The image of a petite figure in a red dress with red eyes appeared in his mind. He was in a daze for a moment.

“There are also good people…’

Xiao Die was stunned for a moment before saying in a low voice, “You’re referring to Second Madam and Miss Xiaolou? Did you see them today?” Luo Qingzhou regained his composure. “I did. They’re all doing fine.”

Xiao Die sighed. “Back then, you deliberately ignored Miss Xiaolou and even hurt her with your words. I saw her cry a few times. During that time, Miss Xiaolou would wait pitifully outside the door every day, hoping that you would change your mind… She’d never know that you did that because…”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and rubbed his body. His expression could not be seen clearly. “She’s actually very smart, just like her mother.”

“Yes, Miss Xiaolou is very smart and good. Whenever I was bullied by the other servants, Miss Xiaolou always defended me.”

Xiao Die recalled the past and her eyes turned red.

Luo Qingzhou reached out and rubbed her head. He comforted her gently. “All right, it’s all in the past. Don’t think about it anymore.” Xiao Die bit her lips and asked, “Young Master, will you go back in the future?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “Yes.”

“Is it because of Miss Xiaolou?”

Luo Qingzhou shook his head. “Not entirely.”

“Then why?”

“Because…”

Luo Qingzhou smiled bitterly and revealed a self-deprecating expression. “Because my father, my brother, and my elders are there… That was my former home… If they tell me to go back, how can I not go back?”

Xiao Die frowned and said, “But Young Master… They don’t treat you as part of their family at all… You can reject them. In any case, they don’t want you anymore.”

Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, “It’s not as simple as you think. I can refuse to go back only if I don’t intend to take the imperial examination in the future and don’t live in this city anymore.”

Xiao Die did not understand.

Luo Qingzhou explained patiently, “To everyone in the Great Yan Empire, filial

Dietv is the most important thing. To us scholars and martial artists, filial Dietv is very important. If the reputation of me being unfilial spreads, forget about taking the exam, it’s impossible to even sign up. There are also rules to follow. One has to show respect to one’s elders. Moreover, he’s a legitimate son while

I’m only an illegitimate son. Luo Yu is the legitimate son and my elder brother. He took the initiative to invite me back. With a virtuous cause and with the brotherly relationship between us, how could I not go back? Moreover, there are my elders in the Chengguo Residence. Although I married into the Qin family, there aren’t thousands of mountains and rivers separating me from the Chengguo Residence. Thus, if the elders back at home ask me to return, I can’t refuse. Unless…

Xiao Die said with a bitter expression, “Young Master, I thought that we wouldn’t have to go back after leaving that place, but it turns out…”

“That day will come.”

A cold glint flashed across the depths of Luo Qingzhou’s eyes. He turned around and gently stroked her face, comforting her. “Don’t be afraid. You don’t have to care about them. You just have to serve me well.”

The little girl faced him naked and saw him glance at her chest. She immediately blushed and lowered her head. She said shyly, “Young Master, I want to…”

“Don’t even think about it. I said another year,” Luo Qingzhou interrupted.

“No, I want to…”

“Okay, you want to pee again? Go further away.” “Oh… I’m not peeing. I want… I want to eat fish.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent.

Suddenly, he copied what she had said before and said, “But the fish is so

cute…’

Xiao Die cut in, “But it smells so good…

Luo Qingzhou pointed at his face. “Kiss me three times.”

The little girl immediately hugged his neck happily, pouted her lips, and kissed his cheek three times. Just as she was about to kiss him again, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly pried her arms away and suddenly pounced forward. With a plop, he dived into the water to find the fish.

The bottom of the lake was dark, but his vision quickly adapted.

Luo Qingzhou held his breath and swam deeper into the middle. Just as he was about to approach the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he suddenly realized that there was a glint of light under the lotus flowers in front of him.

“What is it?’

When he discovered the Lunisolar Mirror at the bottom of the lake and discovered the lake to be warm all year round, he felt that this lake was not simple.

Seeing that light, he did not hesitate and immediately swam over.

He originally thought that it was some treasure, but when he swam closer, he realized that it was a stone statue buried in the mud.

The thing that was glowing was the stone statue’s eyes.

It was unknown what material the eyeball was made of. Even at the bottom of the dark lake without moonlight, it emitted a weak fluorescent light. It looked quite strange.

Luo Qingzhou reached out and slowly pushed away the mud on the stone statue. He realized that the head of the stone statue vaguely looked like an animal.

However, he could not tell what animal it was.

But it was definitely not human.

The stone statue’s chest and lower body were still buried in the deep mud at the bottom of the lake.

Luo Qingzhou pushed the mud away from its chest again and suddenly felt an undercurrent coming from its chest.

He fiddled with it again, and his hand suddenly pierced through the stone statue’s chest.

“It’s empty?’

He was stunned for a moment before quickly pushing aside the other mud beside him.

Only then did he discover to his shock that there was a huge black hole in the stone statue’s chest!

He lowered his head and looked into the hole. It was pitch-black and bottomless. It looked like a secret passage!

Right at this moment, a fluorescent fish suddenly swam out..
