âHuh?â
Qiuâer was stunned and quickly said, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?
Youâre wrong about that.â
Zhuâer snorted. âAm I? Youâve always defended Sir and tried to matchmake our Miss and him. Do you want to wait for Sir and our Miss to⦠Then, you can become Sirâs concubine-maidservant, right?â
âNo! Youâre wrong about that!â
âI know Iâm right! Hmph, Iâll go tell Sir now that Qiuâer wants him to stay in her room tonight so that she can serve him.â
As Zhuâer spoke, she deliberately pretended to leave.
Qiuâer panicked and hurriedly hugged her from behind. She said with a red face, âZhuâer! Donât spout nonsense. Donât let Sir hear you. Itâs so embarrassing!â
Zhuâer laughed. âLass, youâre anxious. That means that youâre feeling guilty!â âIf you say another word, Iâll tear your mouth apart!â
âSir! Sir! Qiuâer said that she wants you to tear her bodice apart⦠tonight..
Qiuâer hurriedly covered Zhuâerâs mouth, causing the latter to make a muffled sound. Following that, Qiuâer hurriedly dragged Zhuâer into the deepest part of the kitchen.
âBrother-in-law, come inâ¦â
In the study room, on the soft couch.
The girl in snow-white clothes gently invited Luo Qingzhou again. She frowned slightly and bit her pink lips. She had a bitter expression on her face, looking pitiful.
How many people in the world could reject her when she had such a pitiful look?
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and did not say anything else. He lowered his head, took off his shoes, and walked in.
A young girlâs fragrance wafted into his nose. Warm air instantly enveloped his body.
As he entered the room and stepped on the soft carpet, it seemed to have hit a soft spot in his heart.
Anyoneâs heart would soften when they stepped into this room with such an atmosphere and saw this girl. That was the case even if someone with a heart of stone came in.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the soft couch and was about to lower his head to speak when the girl said gently, âBrother-in-law, come on upâ¦â
âCome up to the couchâ¦â
She said softly again.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and thought to himself, âSince I am already in the room, thereâs no harm in sitting on the couch, I guess. â
Anyway, his mother-in-law had also said that he should be a qualified brother-in-law.
Satisfying his sister-in-lawâs request should count as being a good brother-in-law, right?
He got on the bed and sat opposite her.
The girl stretched out her slender hand and gently tapped a Go piece on the board with her fingertip. She said gently, âBrother-in-law, do you know how to play Go?â
Luo Qingzhou said, âNo.â
Even if he knew, he had to say that he did not. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome if this girl invited him to play Go with her.
âThen, how about I teach you?â
ââ¦Second Young Miss, I came here tonight to ask you something. Is there an important guest from the capital currently residing in our residence? Do you know her name?â
Luo Qingzhou did not dare hesitate anymore and asked directly.
The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this. She looked at him a few times and asked, âBrother-in-law, have you met her?â
Luo Qingzhou could only lie. âI think I met her once in the residence. I heard from those maidservants that she seems to be from the capital. I wonder if itâs her? Second Young Miss, what does that esteemed guest from the capital look like?â
The girl looked at him with a gentle gaze and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up. âWhen you lie, you donât dare to look at me even more than usual.â
Luo Qingzhou looked at the Go stones on the board and his face heated up.
For some reason, every time he faced this girl, he would feel guilty whenever he lied.
âHer name is Nangong Meijiao. Sheâs the daughter of my motherâs cousin. Her family is from the capital. She came to MO City to escape her marriage arrangement. As for her appearanceâ¦â
The girl looked at him with a smile. âAs a man, you will definitely like Sister Meijiaoâs appearance and figure, Brother-in-law. Once you see her, you wonât be able to forget about her. She is a woman of unforgettable beauty.â
Luo Qingzhouâs heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, âItâs indeed unforgettable. So that cold and arrogant girl who likes to show offis really her. â
Fortunately, he did not have a conflict with her yesterday.
âOh, right, Second Young Miss.â
Luo Qingzhou reached into his clothes and took out a bag of gold coins from his storage bag. He placed it on the Go board and said, âThis is 200 gold coins. Iâm returning it to you.â
The last time he went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to buy a dagger, with the gold coins gotten from selling the demon core, he only spent the 80 gold coins that the Second Young Miss had given him.
Yesterday, he happened to pick up more than 80 gold coins from the Black Forest, so he had gathered slightly over 200 gold coins.
He did not want to owe Second Young Miss Qin too much.
Second Young Miss Qin previously said that she wanted to give him 200 gold coins a month, but he refused to accept that.
If he accepted it, he would seem like a kept man.
Moreover, his sugar momma was his sister-in-law.
Besides, he roughly knew about the situation in the Qin residence. Their economic situation did not seem too good, and Qin Chuan was busy cultivating.
During this moment, he naturally could not spend other peopleâs money. âSecond Young Miss, itâs getting late. You should rest. Iâll take my leave.â Luo Qingzhou put down the money and prepared to get up and leave.
The girl panicked and subconsciously reached out to hold his hand that was placed on the board. She begged gently, âBrother-in-law, can you sit with me for a while more?â
Luo Qingzhou frowned and looked down at her fair hand.
The girlâs face was flushed red. She bit her lips gently and slowly removed her hand. She lowered her head and said, âBrother-in-law, I still want to talk to you. Is that okay?â
âSir, Miss, the porridge is here.â
Qiuâer timely brought in two bowls of porridge and placed them on the small table between the two of them. Then, she took away the Go board and playing pieces. She smiled and said, âSir, you have to finish the porridge. Spend more time with my Miss. Itâs still early. She wonât be able to fall asleep yet.â
After saying that, she left with the tray and closed the door.
The room fell silent.
Luo Qingzhou could only pick up his spoon and look down at the porridge in his bowl. âSecond Young Miss, eat the porridge. Otherwise, it will turn cold later.â
The girl also picked up a spoon and gently stirred the porridge in her bowl. She looked up at him and said, âIf you finish it in one mouth this time, Iâll give the porridge in my bowl to you too.â
Luo Qingzhou had originally picked up the bowl and was about to eat it in a few mouthfuls. When he heard this, he paused and could only put down the bowl again. He lowered his head and ate slowly, spoonful by spoonful.
A smile appeared on the girlâs face.
The two of them lowered their heads and slowly ate the porridge without saying anything else.
Occasionally, the girl would raise her head and look at him. Her eyes were filled with joy, and she kept a smile on her face.
Outside the window, the cold wind moaned and the snow fell.
The room was quiet and warm.
Zhuâer and Qiuâer stood outside the door, not daring to make a sound.
The two of them found it very strange.
Previously, even when Young Miss was in the room, she would cough from time to time and would often cough out blood.
However, as soon as Sir arrived, Miss stopped coughing.
What was going on?
Zhuâer tried to hold back her words, but ultimately, she could not help but whisper, âQiuâer, Miss often coughs when she sleeps at night. Do you think⦠if Sir is around, will sheâ¦â
Qiuâer did not reply.
Zhuâer whispered again, âQiuâer, why donât you give it a try tonight? Later, youâll seduce Sir and invite him to sleep in your room. After you tire him out, youâllâ
Before she could finish speaking, Qiuâer covered her mouth and dragged her out. She dragged her into the room at the side and closed the door, tickling her fiercely as punishment.
âBy the way, Sister Meijiao was here just now.â
In the study room, the girl suddenly spoke.
She felt that perhaps her brother-in-law would be interested in talking about this. Perhaps he would not be in a hurry to leave.
As expected, Luo Qingzhouâs expression changed. He looked up at her and asked, âWhy is she here?â
The girl looked at his expression and said gently, âSister Meijiao came to see me and listen to the stories you told me. She likes to hear your poems and stories. â
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he only nodded indifferently. He lowered his head and finished the last mouthful of porridge. He stood up and said, âSecond Young Miss, Iâm done eating. Then I willâ¦â âBrother-in-law, I havenât finished eating yetâ¦
âItâs already late, I shouldâ¦â
âBrother-in-law, why wonât we talk about Bai Ling?â
Luo Qingzhou, who was about to get off the couch, paused for a moment and slowly sat back down.
The girl looked at him with a complicated gaze..
