Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The morning sun was shining brightly.

When Luo Qingzhou woke up, it was already nine in the morning.

Xiao Die waved her broom and ran around the courtyard, chasing away the chirping sparrows. She scolded softly, “Don’t disturb Young Master’s sleep!” Luo Qingzhou only came back very late last night. The little girl’s heart ached.

Luo Qingzhou had another dream last night.

He could still smell that familiar fragrance in his dream.

He dreamed of that hazy figure.

But the two of them did nothing. They simply hugged each other gently and lay there quietly, feeling each other’s warmth.

Luo Qingzhou tried his best to open his eyes in his dream, wanting to see the other party’s face clearly.

Unfortunately, he could not see anything.

In his dream, he vaguely remembered her kissing his neck. He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.

At that moment, he seemed abnormally quiet and did not have any other thoughts.

It felt a little different from his previous wet dreams.

He did not have the urge to pounce on her and release his urges.

Luo Qingzhou reminisced for a while on the bed, but the more he thought about it, the more blurry his memory became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that those scenes were simply his hallucinations when he just woke up. It was not a dream that he had last night.

The sound of Xiao Die sweeping the floor came from outside.

Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses.

He still had things to do today!

He immediately got up, put on his clothes, and washed up.

When Xiao Die heard the movements in the room, she put down the broom and came in to serve him. Then, she went to bring him a sumptuous breakfast.

After eating, Luo Qingzhou left.

When he passed by the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he realized that the door was locked. He felt a little puzzled.

Where did they go so early in the morning?

When Luo Qingzhou walked into Second Young Miss Qin’s courtyard, his doubts were resolved.

Bai Ling, who was wearing a pink dress, was standing under a peach blossom tree in the courtyard. She was holding a budding peach blossom in her hand and sniffing it.

Xia Chan was wearing a light green dress and holding a sword in her arms. She was standing in a corner under a distant roof, in a daze.

In the study, the window was open.

Second Young Miss Qin, who was wearing a plain white dress, sat in front of the table. She held a brush in her hand and was writing elegantly. She had a gentle look in her eyes.

First Young Miss Qin, who was wearing a snow-white dress, stood behind her and watched quietly.

Zhu’er and Qiu’er stood outside the door and looked on with gentle expressions.

The entire courtyard and house were silent, but it was quiet and warm. There was also a calming and peaceful atmosphere.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly barged into the small courtyard. When he saw this scene, he wanted to leave.

The cold girl who was standing under the roof with a sword in her arms was the first to notice him. She looked at him coldly.

The morning sun shone down and the courtyard was bright and beautiful.

Luo Qingzhou stood under the sunlight and looked at the cold girl standing in the corner of the eaves. He then glanced at the distance between her and the study.

It seemed to be exactly 10 steps away.

At this moment, Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt that the weak girl in the study was pitiful. However, he also felt sorry for the cold girl standing alone in the shadows in the corner of the eaves.

They all looked pitiful.

“Sir… ”

Bai Ling finally saw him. Her eyes lit up, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She was even more beautiful than the peach blossom in her hand.

But that smile only lasted for an instant.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and walked straight toward the cold girl in the corner of the roof.

Bai Ling froze. She blinked and looked at Luo Qingzhou who was gradually approaching Xia Chan.

The girl standing under the shade of the eaves was also stunned for a moment. When she saw him suddenly walking toward her, she could not keep that cold facade on any longer. There was a slightly puzzled look on her face.

There was even a hint of panic.

Because Luo Qingzhou was holding a flower in his hand.

The pink flower seemed to have just bloomed. The petals were pink and the dewdrops on the petals were crystal clear.

The young girl’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a tinge of slight red in her cheeks. She tightened her grip on her sword nervously.

However, she still stood there coldly without moving.

Her face was cold, her eyes were cold, and her temperament was cold. It was as if she wanted to use coldness to disguise herself or push others away.

Luo Qingzhou stopped in front of her and said softly, “Miss Xia Chan, I read in a book yesterday that if your stomach hurts every month, you have to bask in the sun more every day and keep yourself warm. Also, you need to take some medicine. You have to take corydalis yanhusuo, Five Spirits Resin stir-fried with vinegar, 10 qian of does for white peony root, angelica sinensis, ligusticum striatum, licorice, eight qian of dose each, for the main recipe. I think your tummyache is a result of blood clotting, so you have to add nine qian of does each for ale leaves and dogwood… Boil these with water and drink one dose a day. Take it three to four times. Every time… before that arrives, three to five days before, you have to take this medicine. Take it three cycles in a row, and it should relieve some of the pain…’

With that, he took the flower and turned to leave.

The girl continued hugging her sword and stood rooted to the ground. A dazed expression appeared on her beautiful face.

She did not seem to have heard a single word he said just now. Her gaze was still fixed on the pink flower in his hand.

Luo Qingzhou picked this flower on the way to the Second Young Miss’ place. He originally intended to put it in a vase on the windowsill when he arrived.

However…

He could not give it to Second Young Miss Qin anymore.

He walked to the peach blossom tree and casually handed the flower in his hand to Bai Ling. “It’s pink and matches you very well.”

Bai Ling was a little stunned before she accepted it. She sniffled and said gratefully, “Sir…”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else and walked under the roof to stand outside the window.

Qin Weimo had already seen him just now. She smiled and quietly watched him give the flower to the girl under the peach blossom tree. When she saw him walking over, she smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, you really know how to sweet-talk people.”

The girl under the peach blossom tree was holding a flower in her hand and smiling from ear to ear.

The smile on Qin Weimo’s face faded slightly as she said in a low voice,

“Brother-in-law, but you shouldn’t have given the flower only to her.”

The girl standing under the roof with a sword in her arms lowered her eyes slightly. She was still standing alone in the shadows, motionless.

Luo Qingzhou thought that the Second Young Miss was referring to herself, so he did not dare to answer. He lowered his head and cupped his hands toward the window. “First Young Miss, Second Young Miss,” he greeted.

Qin Jianjia glanced at him but did not respond. She turned around and walked out of the study.

Then, she stepped on the spotless limestone slab and left.

Luo Qingzhou turned to look as she left.

Bai Ling waved the flowers in her hand at him and said happily, “Sir, we’ll be leaving first. Remember to look for… First Young Miss tonight.”

Luo Qingzhou looked under the eaves again.

It was already empty.

At some point, the cold girl holding the sword had already left.

Qin Weimo sat in the room and quietly looked at the micro-expressions on Luo Qingzhou’s face from the window. When he turned around again, she said gently, “Brother-in-law, if you have something to say, come in and say it. I’m sure you must have something important to say, seeing that you’re here so early in the morning.”

Luo Qingzhou did not decline. He turned around and walked to the door.

Qiu’er and Zhu’er, who were guarding the door, looked at him at the same time.

Qiu’er said in a low voice, “Sir, Miss coughed all night last night and hasn’t had her breakfast. I have already heated up the porridge. Later…”

Luo Qingzhou nodded slightly.

A grateful smile appeared on Qiu’er’s face.

Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study and took off his shoes. He stepped on the soft carpet and walked in.

The weak girl had already stood up.

She was wearing a plain white dress. Her waist was so thin it could be grabbed with one hand. Her black hair was like a waterfall that fell gently to her waist. As she walked, a pair of delicate feet in snow-white stockings could be seen under the dress.

“Brother-in-law, go to the couch.”

The girl’s voice was gentle, and her body was so weak that she could barely stand.

Luo Qingzhou reached out to help her, but he immediately retracted his hand and said, “You should go and sit, Second Young Miss.”

The young girl lightly bit her lip. She slowly stretched out her hand and placed it in front of him. She gazed steadily at him and said softly, “Brother-in-law, help me…”

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before turning to look at the door.

Squeak.

The two maidservants standing at the door closed the door tacitly.

Luo Qingzhou stood there speechlessly.

It was quiet inside the room.

Only a man and a woman were left in the room, and they were siblings-in-law, no less…

Luo Qingzhou became even more nervous. He hurriedly said, “Miss Qiu’er, please open the door.”

Seeing that the door was closed, Miss Zhu’er might say something to his mother-in-law again.

He and his sister-in-law were innocent and had a clear conscience. Why did they have to close the door which would arouse suspicion and misunderstanding?

But there was no movement at the door.

“Brother-in-law…”

The girl still had her hand stretched out and looked at him with those beautiful eyes.

Seeing that she was struggling to stand, Luo Qingzhou did not dare to hesitate anymore. He could only reach out to hold her hand and hold her slender waist with the other hand. He carefully guided her toward the soft couch.

Her small hand was smooth and soft as if it had no bones. Her body felt even more delicate and weak in his arms. She was as light as a feather as if she weighed nothing.

Luo Qingzhou felt a pang of heartache at how frail she was.

He helped her onto the soft couch but did not go up himself. Instead, he stood at the side and said in a low voice, “Second Young Miss, I came here today to tell you something.”

The girl looked at him and said gently, “Brother-in-law, when Elder Sister came just now, she also told me something.”

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned. “What did she say?”

The girl did not answer. She only looked at him gently and said, “But I rejected her.”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her with a face full of confusion.

The girl smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment. He recalled what that figure looked like again and said in a low voice, “Second Young Miss, do you know the people living in the Qin residence? When I say that, I mean everyone.”

The smile on Qin Weimo’s face disappeared. She nodded slightly and said, “I know everyone.”

Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate anymore. He said in a low voice, “Last night, I couldn’t sleep. When I was wandering around, I went to the back door of the residence. Then… I saw a person sneak out from the back door and meet another person in the alley behind. The two of them talked for a long time. I

didn’t hear what they said, but from the looks of it, he doesn’t look like a good person… I think…”

“Brother-in-law.”

The girl interrupted him and said gently, “Did you see what he looked like?”

Luo Qingzhou nodded.

A moment later.

The girl called out softly, “Zhu’er, come in for a while.” The door creaked open.

Zhu’er walked in quickly and stood respectfully at the side.

Qin Weimo still looked weak, but her eyes flickered with a decisive and calm gaze. She instructed gently, “Go and tell my father to go to the accounting room and invite Mr. Sun to the hall. My father is in the hall now, having a meeting with all the uncles. Mr. Sun can offer his input.” Zhu’er froze. She did not seem to understand. Qin Weimo said softly, “Go. Father will understand.”

Zhu’er quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

The door closed again.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the weak but strong girl in front of him and said,

“Second Young Miss, did you already know?”

The girl sighed softly. “I had my suspicions before about him, but after hearing your words, I am certain that my guess is right. That Mr. Sun has been with my father for more than 20 years…”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before he asked, “Second Young Miss, then the relationship between the Qin family and the Song family…”

The girl’s face had a somehow complicated look on it. “I only found out last night that there is a feud between our families… After Father came back last night, he came to look for me… But don’t worry. I only said that Zixi wanted to harm me. I didn’t say anything else. Father didn’t force me either,” she explained.

Luo Qingzhou said, “Thank you, Second Young Miss.”

The young girl raised her head and looked at him gently. A smile appeared in her eyes. “You’re so stupid. I should be the one thanking you instead,

Brother-in-law.. Otherwise, I would have died last night… And what you told me today…”
