Chapter 45

"Sir..."

"Shh, don't talk."

"Son, it's itchy..."

"Um???"

"Hands...don't put your hands there..."

"oh."

Luo Qingzhou took his hand away from the little girl's crescent moon, stared out the window motionlessly, and waited with bated breath.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The little girl in her arms fell asleep without realizing it.

Luo Qingzhou gently let go of her and covered her with the quilt.

Then he got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, and prepared to go back to the room.

It’s already been the third update, so it probably won’t come.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of the room, a slight sound of leaves suddenly came from the small courtyard.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he immediately approached the window and looked out of the window through the crack.

The moonlight was bright, and the small courtyard was particularly bright.

But apart from the trees and flowers, there was nothing unusual there, only the sound of the night wind blowing slowly.

He stood motionless behind the window for a long time. After finding that there was nothing unusual, he left the room.

When he returned to his room, he suddenly found an extra flower on the windowsill.

The flower branches are moist, the stamens are delicate, and there are crystal water drops on the petals.

It was obviously freshly picked from the branches.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around suddenly and looked elsewhere in the room.

On the bed, behind the closet, in the corner, under the desk, or even under the bed.

However, there was no sign of anyone.

The room was empty, except for his heartbeat, there was no sound.

He stood in the darkness for a while, then walked to the window, opened it, and looked outside.

There was still nothing unusual in the small courtyard.

The night breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers on the windowsill.

There is a faint sweetness in the air, but no other smell.

He picked up the flower on the window sill, put it under his nose and smelled it. He was stunned for a moment, then threw it out of the window and landed on the ground.

Then close the window and go back to bed.

I still have to practice tomorrow.

As for other things, there is no need to think about it any more.

One night passed quietly.

The next day.

When Luo Qingzhou woke up, he heard voices coming from the courtyard outside.

One is Xiaodie's.

The other one, if you listen carefully, is Bai Ling.

He woke up, got up, dressed, and opened the window.

The morning sunshine brings fresh air, blowing towards my face.

In the small courtyard, Xiaodie was holding a broom, her head lowered, her face red, looking timidly at the ground.

In front of her, Bai Ling was wearing a pink dress, holding a flower in her hand, and talking to her with a smile.

Seeing the window open, Bai Ling looked over, with two shallow dimples showing on his pretty face. He smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the window, looking at the flower in her hand.

It was not the one he had just picked, but the one he had put on the window sill at some point last night and was thrown out by him.

"Good."

He looked calm.

Under the bright sunshine, there was no hint of teasing on that handsome and soft cheek.

Bai Ling's eyes froze for a moment, but he still had a sweet smile on his face: "Uncle, I'm sorry, the lady didn't feel well last night, so she didn't come. Isn't my uncle angry?"

Luo Qingzhou looked into her eyes and said, "No."

"It's okay if it doesn't happen."

Bai Ling smiled sweetly, raised the flower in his hand and said, "Uncle, I came here this morning and saw this on your window. I went to pick it specially last night, are you going to give it to my young lady?"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the flowers in her hand again, then looked at her and said, "No, they were specially picked for you."

Bai Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled with a smile as bright as a flower: "Uncle, you are making fun of me again. You will not take the initiative to pick flowers and give them to others."

Then he frowned again and said in a quiet tone: "My uncle didn't give that flower to me last time, but gave it to Chanchan. I think she's not as cute as Chanchan, right?"

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and didn't answer.

Bai Ling smiled sweetly again, waved his hand and said, "Okay, uncle, I won't talk to you anymore. It's time for me to go back and serve my young lady. I came here this morning just to apologize to my uncle, because I was afraid that he would be angry because of what happened last night. Now that I’m not angry, I’m relieved.”

After saying that, he smiled at Xiaodie next to him and said, "Xiaodie, please serve your young master well."

After saying that, she left gracefully with flowers and fluttering pink skirt.

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the window, looking at the door of the small courtyard where her back disappeared, with a hint of thought between his brows.

"Sir, my servant is here to get you some water to wash your face."

Xiaodie came to her senses and hurried to the kitchen.

After Luo Qingzhou finished washing, Fang looked at her and asked, "Xiaodie, Miss Bai Ling came just now, what did she say to you?"

Hearing this, Xiaodie's cheeks turned red again, and she lowered her head and said, "Sister Bailing asked me what happened last night, and asked me if I... slept with the young master..."

"How did you answer?"

Luo Qingzhou asked.

Xiaodie said: "Of course I said no, I know the rules. The lady was coming last night, so I didn't dare."

Luo Qingzhou asked again: "What else did you say?"

Xiaodie lowered her head and said shyly: "Sister Bai Ling also asked me if I had ever been...lost by the young master..."

Luo Qingzhou looked out the window: "Is there any more?"

Xiaodie thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Sister Bailing also said that the Madam invited guests to the lake to enjoy the moon tonight, and the Madam specifically told you to go with them."

Luo Qingzhou frowned, "Let me go with you?"

Xiaodie nodded and said, "The Second Miss will also go, and Sister Bailing should come to tell you about it tonight."

Luo Qingzhou frowned, said nothing more, and left the room.

"Master, I'll serve you dinner."

Xiaodie hurried out the door.

Luo Qingzhou stood in the courtyard, glanced at the window, and then looked at other places.

The dead leaves were gone.

It should have been swept away by Xiaodie.

Someone did come last night, but he came and went without a trace, leaving only the flower.

While he was thinking about things, Bailing suddenly came back and appeared at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Sir, I want to tell you something."

Luo Qingzhou thought she was going to talk about entertaining guests tonight, so he said directly, "Can I not go?"

Bailing was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course."

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned and looked at her in surprise.

So easy to talk to?

"Sir, then I will ask the servants to send him away. I also think it's best for you not to see him. Anyway, he is not a good person. You have us, it's enough for you, it doesn't matter whether you recognize them or not."

Bailing said, and was about to turn around and leave. Luo Qingzhou hurriedly asked, "Who is here?"

Bailing looked at him strangely and said, "Luo Yu, the second son of Chengguo Mansion, your former brother. He came to see you and is waiting in the living room."

"Luo Yu?"

Luo Qingzhou frowned, and there was a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

What is he doing here?

Talk about brotherhood with him?

How is it possible?

The other party is so busy, hiding at home every day to practice and prepare for the exam, why would he suddenly come to Qin's house to find him?

Obviously something happened.

And it's not a simple thing.

Of course he doesn't want to see him.

However, he has no reason to refuse.

Although he is now married into the Qin's house, he is still the illegitimate son of Chengguo Mansion, and he is also a nominal brother of the other party.

If he doesn't meet, it's really unreasonable.

And he doesn't want to alert the enemy.

Of course, he also wants to know why the other party came.

"Son-in-law, do you want to see him?"

Bailing asked with a blink of his eyes.

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the courtyard and said, "See you."

Bailing looked at him deeply and smiled, "Okay, then I will accompany you, son-in-law. If he dares to bully you, I won't let him go."

As he said that, he shook his little pink fist.
