Chapter 23

The next day.

When Luo Qingzhou woke up, it was already the morning of Si.

The sun was shining brightly, shining on the window lattice.

Xiaodie's voice came from the courtyard, driving away the sparrows.

Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the beautiful curtain above his head, thinking about the lingering last night, as if he was dreaming.

Why do I fall asleep unconsciously every time after making love?

Just like the last bridal chamber.

Obviously, I should say sweet words and caress her tenderly after the event, but I felt dizzy and fell asleep with my eyes closed.

Is it because my body is too weak, or... is there another reason?

The faint fragrance of the girl still lingers in the air.

But the people next to it have gone, without any trace.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

Xiaodie's soft call suddenly came from outside the window.

The sparrows chirped non-stop in the courtyard, which was very noisy.

She was afraid of disturbing the young master's sweet dream, so she drove away the annoying sparrows, but she was also afraid that the young master would get into trouble if he slept for so long, so she shouted.

Luo Qingzhou came to his senses and replied, "Wake up."

Xiaodie heard this and hurriedly said, "Then I'll get you some hot water to wash your face."

After that, she went to the kitchen.

Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

Xiaodie helped him wash his face and brush his teeth.

Then she brought breakfast.

The breakfast here is much richer than that in Chengguo Mansion.

Steamed buns and eggs, green vegetables and white rice porridge.

There is also a plate of snacks.

Luo Qingzhou sat in the small courtyard eating breakfast, a little absent-minded.

Xiaodie was pulling weeds in the corner next to him, turning her head to peek at him from time to time, her eyes flickering, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I won't eat you."

Xiaodie blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Master, last night...last night, did you sleep with the young lady?"

Luo Qingzhou was stunned: "Did you see it?"

Xiaodie blushed and said shyly, "I didn't see it, but...just heard it."

"Hear it?"

Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.

"Yeah."

Xiaodie lowered her head and was embarrassed to say more.

Last night, she had just fallen asleep in the room next door when she heard the sound in the master's room.

The wooden bed creaked for a long time...

Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he asked quickly: "Xiaodie, were you in your room all night last night? Did you see anyone?"

Xiaodie shook her head: "No, I was in bed all the time."

Luo Qingzhou said: "What about this morning? When did you get up? Did you see... someone leaving my room?"

Xiaodie still shook her head: "No, when I got up, the young master was the only one sleeping in his room, and I don't know when the young lady left."

After that, she whispered: "Young master, the young lady may be shy, so when she came and when she left, she was quiet."

Luo Qingzhou frowned and fell into thought.

Who knew that Xiaodie said again: "Young master, but when I got up to open the gate, I saw a figure suddenly walked into the garden in front. It looked like...like..."

"Who did it look like?"

Luo Qingzhou asked quickly, his heart became nervous.

Xiaodie glanced at the entrance of the courtyard and whispered, "It looks like Sister Bailing. Sister Bailing may have been waiting for the young lady outside last night."

Luo Qingzhou's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't say anything.

After dinner.

He returned to the house, threw away the chaos in his mind, and sat down at the desk in front of the window to read.

Things seem a little complicated.

But he doesn't need to waste time thinking about it.

The most urgent thing is to make himself stronger first.

Otherwise, let alone the beautiful Miss Qin who looks down on him, even the woman driving the carriage and the maids in the mansion look down on him.

No matter in which era, the weak are despised.

The weak have no dignity.

If you want dignity, you can only rely on your own efforts!

Xiaodie cleaned up the dishes and said something to him, then went out and went to find Qiu'er and Xiaotao and other maids to study.

That girl is also working hard.

Luo Qingzhou read for a while, then went back to bed and practiced the inner strength for half a day.

After lunch at noon.

After Xiaodie left, he continued to hit the tree trunk in the yard to temper the membrane.

Fists, arms, elbows, back, abdomen, legs, feet, and even neck, all exerted force one by one, and the force became stronger and stronger.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The big tree with cracked bark shook gently under the fierce impact, making a dull sound.

Although the whole body was in pain, he gradually felt refreshed in the continuous tempering.

He increased the strength and became more and more violent!

The heat in the body continued to flow through the acupoints of the whole body, through the flesh and blood, and moisturized the skin that was about to hurt.

Those skins gradually transformed in the continuous cracking and repair...

The sun quietly fell from the sky to the horizon.

When Luo Qingzhou stopped in sweat, it was already evening.

When it was getting dark.

Xiaodie came back with a sumptuous meal, and then happily told him about learning embroidery and flute today.

But in the end, she pouted and said, "Sister Qiu'er laughed at me today for having a small mouth and being unsuitable for playing the flute. Sister Xiaotao argued with her, saying that people with small mouths can play better. Then everyone laughed and I didn't know what they were laughing at..."

"Learn to play the guzheng or pipa in the future."

Luo Qingzhou gave suggestions while eating.

The little girl said stubbornly: "No, I must learn to play the flute well and not embarrass you, Master."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said nothing more.

After taking a bath in the evening.

He continued to practice his inner strength in the room.

When he was about to go to bed, Xiaodie came in wearing pajamas, got into his quilt, warmed his feet at the foot, and whispered about the miscellaneous things in the mansion that she heard from the maids.

"Sister Xiaotao said that the second young lady is amazing. She can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not in good health and is always sick..."

"I wanted to ask the young master about the eldest young lady, but everyone changed their faces after hearing it and refused to say anything..."

"I heard that the eldest young master is very powerful in the capital..."

"Qiu'er said that the distinguished guests from Yujing go out of the city to hunt every day..."

Luo Qingzhou held her slender and delicate girl's jade feet and listened to her chattering non-stop. He was thinking about things in his heart and did not interrupt.

I don't know how long it took.

The little girl's voice gradually stopped, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

Luo Qingzhou thought about cultivation for a while and closed his eyes.

Outside the window, the silver moon was cold.

Chengguo Mansion.

Luo Yannian was still busy in the study.

Madam Wang brought the freshly made snacks and hot tea, and quietly withdrew.

When he walked to the dark corner of the corridor outside, a figure suddenly flashed behind the big tree next to him.

Second housekeeper Wang Cheng.

The two of them were separated by a vermilion railing.

Wang looked away, her face gloomy.

Wang Cheng bowed and whispered, "I have sent someone to keep an eye on him. According to the rules, the boy has just got married, and it will take a month before he can go outside the city to worship his mother. At that time, we will take action."

Wang's eyes were gloomy: "Yu'er is at a critical moment, don't leave any handle."

Wang Cheng whispered, "Madam, don't worry, there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests outside the city, and there are even man-eating monsters in the black wood forest. If he died there, no one would doubt it. Even if someone doubted it, there would be no evidence."

Wang looked at him and squinted his eyes and said, "Is he reliable?"

Wang Cheng said respectfully, "They are all murderers who have committed murder outside. I didn't show up, so I asked Wang Pu to find them. When Wang Pu came into contact with those people, he also covered his face, and it was at night..."

Wang didn't say anything else and continued to move forward.

Walking through the corridor, under the moonlight and lights, the ferocious look on her face quickly faded away, and she became calm again.
