“Young Master…” “Shh, don’t speak.”

“Young Master, it’s ticklish…”

“Huh?”

“You hand… Don’t put your hand there…”

“Okay.”

Luo Qingzhou removed his hand from the little girl’s waist and stared out of the window without moving. He held his breath and waited.

After an unknown period.

The little girl in his arms fell asleep unconsciously.

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

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

It was close to one a.m., so the woman probably was not coming.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door of the room, the sound of rustling leaves suddenly came from the small courtyard.

His gaze turned cold. He immediately approached the window and looked out through the gap.

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

However, other than the trees and flowers, there was nothing unusual. There was only the sound of the night wind blowing.

Luo Qingzhou stood motionless behind the window for a long time. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he left the room.

When he returned to his room, he suddenly realized that there was a flower on the windowsill.

The branches were moist and the stamens were tender. There were sparkling water droplets on the petals.

It was obvious that it had been freshly plucked.

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly turned around and looked at the other parts of the room.

He looked on the bed, behind the wardrobe, in the corner, under the desk, and even under the bed.

However, there was no one.

The room was empty. It was perfectly silent except for the sound of his heartbeat.

He stood in the darkness for a moment, then walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out.

There was still nothing unusual in the small courtyard.

The night wind blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers on the windowsill.

There was no other smell except for a faint fragrance in the air.

Luo Qingzhou picked up the flower on the windowsill and sniffed it. He hesitated for a bit before he threw it out of the window and it landed on the ground.

Then, he closed the window and returned to bed to sleep.

He still had to cultivate tomorrow.

As for other matters, there was no need to think too much about it.

The night passed quietly.

The next day.

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

One was Xiao Die’s.

After focusing on the other voice, he recognized it to be Bai Ling’s voice.

He sobered, got up and got dressed. Following that, he opened the window.

The morning sun brought with it fresh air.

In the small courtyard, Xiao Die was hugging a broom with her head lowered. Her face was red as she looked at the ground timidly.

Bai Ling was standing in front of her. She was wearing a pink dress and holding a flower in her hand. At that moment, she was talking to Xiao Die with a faint smile.

Seeing the window open, Bai Ling looked over. Two shallow dimples appeared on her beautiful face. She smiled sweetly and said, “Sir, you’re awake? Did you sleep well last night?”

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the window and looked at the flower in her hand.

That was not the one he had just plucked. It was the one he had thrown out last night.

“Yup.”

His face was calm.

Under the bright sunlight, Bai Ling saw that his face was expressionless and he did not react to being teased at all.

Luo Qingzhou looked into her eyes and said, “No.”

“That’s good.”

Bai Ling smiled sweetly and waved the flower in her hand. “Sir, I saw this on your window when I came this morning. Did you specially pluck it last night to give it to my Miss?”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the flower in her hand again, then looked at her and said, “No, I specially picked it for you.”

Bai Ling was stunned when she heard that. Then, she burst into laughter and smiled brightly. “Sir, you’re joking with me again. You won’t take the initiative to pick flowers for me.”

Then, he frowned and said faintly, “Last time, you did not give that flower to me but to Chanchan instead. You must think that I am not as cute as Chanchan, right?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and did not answer.

Bai Ling smiled sweetly again and waved her hand. “All right, Sir, I won’t chat with you anymore. I should go back and serve my Miss. I came this morning to apologize to you. I was afraid that you would be angry because of what happened last night. Since you’re not angry, I’m relieved.”

After saying that, she smiled at Xiao Die and said, “Xiao Die, you have to serve your Young Master well.”

With that, she took the flower and left gracefully.

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the window and looked at the entrance of the small courtyard where she disappeared. A look of contemplation appeared on his face.

“Young Master, I’ll go get water for you to wash your face.”

Xiao Die came back to her senses and quickly went to the kitchen.

After Luo Qingzhou finished washing up, he looked at her and asked, “Xiao Die, what did Miss Bai Ling say to you when she came just now?”

Xiao Die blushed again when she heard that. She lowered her head and said, “Elder Sister Bai Ling asked me about what happened last night. She asked me if I… if I slept with you last night.” “Then what did you reply?”

Luo Qingzhou asked.

Xiao Die said, “Of course, I said I didn’t. I know the rules. Last night, Young

Miss was coming, so I didn’t dare to.”

Luo Qingzhou asked again, “What else did she ask?”

Xiao Die lowered her head and said shyly, “Bai Ling even asked me if you have taken my chastity…”

Luo Qingzhou looked out of the window. “Anything else?”

Xiao Die thought for a moment and said, “By the way, Bai Ling also said that Madam has invited guests over and they’re going to the lake for moon gazing tonight. Madam specially instructed you to accompany her.”

Luo Qingzhou frowned. “They want me to accompany them?”

Xiao Die nodded and said, “Second Young Miss will be there too. Bai Ling will probably come over to inform you about it tonight.’

Luo Qingzhou frowned and left the room without saying anything else.

“Young Master, I’ll go bring you food.”

Xiao Die hurried out the door.

Luo Qingzhou stood in the small courtyard and glanced at the window before looking elsewhere.

The dead leaves were gone.

It should have been swept away by Xiao Die.

Someone had indeed come last night, but they had come and gone without a trace, leaving only that flower behind.

Just as he was thinking about something, Bai Ling suddenly returned and appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard. “Sir, I have something to tell you.”

Luo Qingzhou thought that she was going to talk about accompanying the guests tonight, so he said directly, “Can I not go?”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Of course.”

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

She was so agreeable today?

“Sir, I’ll get the servants to send him away. I also think that it’s best if you don’t go and see him. Anyway, he’s not a good person. It’s enough that you have us. It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge them or not.”

Bai Ling was about to turn around and leave when Luo Qingzhou hurriedly asked, “Who’s here?”

Bai Ling looked at him strangely and said, “Luo Yu, the Second Young Master of Chengguo Residence, your former brother. He’s here to look for you. He’s waiting in the reception room.”

“Luo Yu?”

Luo Qingzhou frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

What was he doing here?

To talk to him about brotherhood?

How was that possible?

The other party was so busy and had been hiding at home every day to cultivate and prepare for the exam. Why did he suddenly come to the Qin residence to look for him?

Obviously, something was up.

Moreover, it was not a simple matter.

Of course, Luo Qingzhou did not want to see Luo Yu.

However, he had no reason to refuse.

Although he had married into the Qin residence, he was still the illegitimate son of the Chengguo Residence and was Luo Yu’s brother in name.

It would be unreasonable if he refused to see Luo Yu.

Moreover, he did not want to alert the enemy.

Of course, he also wanted to know why the other party had come.

“Sir, do you want to see him?”

Bai Ling blinked at him and asked.

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the small courtyard and said, “Yes.”

Bai Ling looked at him deeply and smiled. “All right, I’ll accompany you. I won’t let him off if he dares bully you.”

As she spoke, she waved her small fists about..
