“Hmph!”

Someone snorted. Luo Qingzhou felt an icy cold aura gush toward him.

He came back to his senses and quickly retracted his gaze from First Young Miss Qin. He looked in front of him.

The girl standing under the shadow of the roof had her arms crossed in front of her chest and a sword in her arms. She was staring at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou did not hear her thoughts.

Of course, he did not hear First Young Miss Qin’s thoughts either.

He lowered his head slightly and prepared to take his leave.

Bai Ling, who was standing behind him, suddenly smiled and said, “Miss Song came to the residence again a few days ago. She even instructed the maidservant to come over secretly as she wants you to meet her and hang out with her. However, I bumped into her on the way and rejected her on your behalf.”

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned.

“Did you know about this?”

Bai Ling asked.

Luo Qingzhou shook his head.

Two dimples appeared on Bai Ling’s face. She raised her eyebrows and said, “If you knew about it, would you have gone to meet Miss Song?”

Luo Qingzhou said calmly, “No.”

“You won’t?”

Bai Ling blinked a few times and then said with a smile, “Actually, it’s fine even if you go. Although you married into the Qin family, we won’t restrict your freedom and deprive you of happiness like the other families. The Qin family and the Young Miss are very reasonable, and they’re tolerant toward you.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, “Miss Bai Ling, if you have something to say, then speak what’s on your mind.”

The smile on Bai Ling’s face faded slightly. She paused for a moment and said, “All right. I’m going to say it now. Don’t be angry.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything and waited for her to continue.

Bai Ling sighed softly and glanced at her Young Miss before saying softly, “Sir, as you can see, Young Miss isn’t in good health. She likes peace and quiet, and she likes to be alone. This hasn’t changed despite her getting married. Therefore, I hope that you won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to and give her absolute freedom. If one day…”

At this point, she looked at the young man in front of her and said, “Sir, I mean if… if one day, Young Miss suddenly gets tired of this life and doesn’t want to be with you anymore, I hope you can understand and let her leave. Of course, even then, you will still be a member of the Qin family. You can always stay in the Qin residence, and you’ll be compensated. You can also get married and have children. Sir, do you understand what I mean?”

Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, “I understand.”

Bai Ling looked at him apologetically. “Sir, we don’t mean to look down on you, but… Young Miss is really not in good health, and she already has someone she likes. Also, I hope that you won’t tell anyone whatever you saw in the Qin residence and whatever you heard today, okay?”

Luo Qingzhou’s back was facing the beautiful figure. He looked at the girl in front of him, paused, and suddenly said, “If First Young Miss is unwilling to get married, she can actually end the marriage now. I have no objections.”

Bai Ling was stunned. A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She stared at him for a moment before shaking her head. “Sir, I was just saying ‘if’. Don’t overthink things. Things are fine the way they are now. No matter what happens in the future, that’s something to think of in the future. I’m only telling you this tonight because I hope that you’ll be mentally prepared and won’t sink too deep into this relationship.”

Then, she added, “Sir, if you have any other women you like, you can tell us openly.”

Luo Qingzhou’s eyes flickered. “I do have a woman I like.”

Bai Ling’s expression changed slightly. “Who is it?”

Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes and said, “The girl who consummated the marriage with me that night, and who is prepared to sleep with me once a month. Miss Bai Ling, I like her. Can you give her to me?”

As soon as he said this, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Bai Ling smiled and said, “Sir, you’ve indeed fallen for her. That’s not surprising. After all, which man wouldn’t like such a beautiful girl like my Young Miss? Besides, she’s married to you. However… I just said that Young Miss isn’t in good health and she already likes someone. In any case, Young Miss belongs to you now, doesn’t she?”

Luo Qingzhou kept looking into her eyes, but he did not hear her other thoughts.

There was another moment of silence.

He cupped his hands and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Bai Ling’s lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything.

“Sir, go to bed early. We still have to serve tea to Madam tomorrow morning.”

Bai Ling’s eyes flickered as she said softly.

Luo Qingzhou nodded and cupped his hands at the motionless figure sitting at the stone table before bidding farewell.

The small courtyard fell silent once more.

After a long time, Bai Ling said softly with a complicated expression, “Young Miss, don’t you think we’re being too cruel to him?”

Then, she muttered softly, “Sir is quite nice…”

No one responded.

In the end, Bai Ling sighed inaudibly. “It’s a pity that ultimately, we’re from two different worlds…”

Luo Qingzhou returned to the small courtyard.

He should have been feeling heavy-hearted and letting his imagination run wild, but he suddenly felt as if a weight had been lifted off his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

From the moment he heard that he was going to marry into the Qin family until now, his mentality had undergone a series of changes.

At first, he was hesitant and nervous. After getting married, he was pleasantly surprised by his wife’s beauty and was even a little expectant. Later on, he became calm and relieved.

In the end, he got over it.

This marriage was like life.

In just over 20 days, Luo Qingzhou experienced the ups and downs of life. Now, he was at peace and calm.

He felt that it was quite interesting.

To him, this experience was not too embarrassing.

He had no feelings for Qin Jianjia, to begin with.

Now, the Qin residence provided him with food and clothes. Furthermore, he had a beautiful girl accompanying him, and he could even do whatever he wanted. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

Nothing mattered anymore.

Even if Qin Jianjia divorced him in the future, it did not matter.

Perhaps he could live a more exciting life.

He only needed Xiao Die.

The master and servant got into bed, crawled under the blanket, and lay beside each other.

Luo Qingzhou hugged the frail and obedient girl in his arms and kissed her forehead. He said softly, “Xiao Die, you have to accompany me forever, do you understand?”

Xiao Die leaned back against his chest, and her cheeks turned tomato red. Her eyes squinted in happiness, and she said, “Yes, I will always be yours, Young Master. Wherever you go, I’ll go. Even death cannot tear us apart.”

“Where’s your feet?” Luo Qingzhou asked.

“Huh?” Xiao Die said.

“Give me your foot. I want to hold it and sleep.”

Xiao Die did not say anything else.

The moonlight shone in through the window.

The Lunisolar Mirror had the moon side facing up. The moonlight shone into it, and the mirror gradually fogged up.

At the same time.

In a pavilion behind another courtyard.

The moonlight was cold, and a figure in white sat there motionless.

In the shadows beside her, a cold girl holding a sword stood silently guarding her.

On the other side, another other young girl stood beside the figure in white, and her brows knitted together slightly as she muttered in a low voice, “Without the spiritual fluid from there, ultimately, it would be difficult for the Young Miss to advance any further.”
