"Hoo—"
The cold wind swayed the snowflakes, playing and dancing in the courtyard.
The snowstorm at night is even bigger.
The girl gently opened the window, and her frail body couldn't help shivering in the cold air.
The winter plum that slanted into the eaves has all withered.
The room was covered with thick velvet blankets, and a warm stove was burning on the floor. The girl was dressed in plain white clothes, wrapped in snow velvet fox fur, but she still felt cold.
The body is cold, and the heart is also cold.
"Miss, it's windy, please close the window."
Qiu'er stood outside the window, frowning.
The girl stood in front of the window for a while, Fang nodded, and when she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly looked at the door outside the courtyard.
A familiar figure appeared there.
The girl was slightly stunned, as if she suddenly remembered something, immediately raised her plain hand, and closed the window.
Outside.
Luo Qingzhou stepped on the snow-soaked bluestone slabs and entered the courtyard. Seeing Qiu'er standing in the corridor, she asked softly, "Has Second Miss rested?"
Qiu'er smiled slightly, walked to the door and said: "Not yet, the young lady is reading in the study, my uncle come in quickly."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the window and said, "No need, I'll just stand outside the window and say a few words."
Qiu'er stopped at the door and said: "My lord, miss is reading on the couch. I feel a little uncomfortable today. It's inconvenient to get down. I can't open the windows, the cold wind will blow in."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will talk to the second lady at the door of the study."
Said, walked in.
Qiu'er smiled "puchi", covered her mouth and said, "Uncle, Zhu'er is not here tonight, so you don't have to be afraid."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it should be like this."
Brother-in-law came to look for sister-in-law in the middle of the night, and he was already under the melon field, which aroused suspicion; if he didn't know the rules and entered the room, he was alone, how to explain?
Qiu'er smiled slightly, glanced at him again, entered the room, went to open the door, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the servants are going to make some porridge. Miss hasn't eaten tonight."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Qiu'er walked out of the house and went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study and looked inside.
In the room, the lights were bright, and a weak girl in snow-white clothes was sitting quietly on a soft bed, holding a book in her hand, and looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, if you don't come in, I won't talk to you."
After the girl finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze from him, lowered her head and flipped through the book, with a playful smile on her lips.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and said: "Second Miss, I have something to ask you, I will leave after I finish."
The girl continued to flip through the book with her head down, ignoring him.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Then, Second Miss will rest earlier, and I will take my leave."
The girl looked up at him suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law..."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, met her eyes, bowed her head and cupped her hands: "Second Miss, it's getting late tonight, and I have to go to my wife's place to say hello, so I just want to say a few words to Second Miss at the door and leave .In fact, it's not an important thing, it doesn't matter if you say it or not."
Just finished speaking, Zhu Er's cold voice suddenly came from the door: "Uncle, you don't need to go to Madam's place tonight, and you don't need to go for the time being, Madam is quite busy recently."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her.
Zhu'er said again: "Madam also asked the servant to tell my uncle to accompany my young lady well and be a qualified brother-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
What kind of qualification is this "qualified"?
Is it to keep a distance and abide by the rules between brother-in-law and sister-in-law; or... to be obedient to sister-in-law and respond to every request?
At least, to give a standard, right?
"Uncle, let's go in. The servants are not going to complain to the lady. The lady is very busy recently. We will go to the princess's celebration banquet in a few days. The lady is worrying about the gift for the princess, so I will ignore it for the time being. My uncle, so you don’t have to be afraid.”
Pearl's face is expressionless and authentic.
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Are we going to attend the princess's celebration banquet too?"
Zhu'er said: "Master and Madam are of course going, as for Young Master, it is probably..."
"Pearl."
In the study, Qin Weimo yelled softly.
Zhu'er immediately said: "Miss, this servant is going to the kitchen to help Qiu'er heat the porridge, you can talk to my uncle, the servant will not stay here to be annoying."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and went to the kitchen.
At first, after my uncle knew that she was his wife's little "spies", she was still a little apprehensive and ashamed, but she gradually got used to it.
Anyway, she didn't do anything bad, nor did she talk nonsense.
She always tells the truth to her wife, and is also loyal to her own lady, so she is not afraid that my uncle will hate her.
When she entered the kitchen, Qiu'er looked at her and whispered: "Don't talk to my uncle like that in the future, let alone mentioning that my uncle is married. My uncle will feel sad, and the lady will also be unhappy."
Zhu'er pursed her lips and said, "Qiu'er, do you even help uncle? They are not talking nonsense, they are telling the truth."
Qiu'er said softly: "Don't tell the truth, especially the words that are easy to hurt others. Didn't Miss usually tell us? Before speaking and doing things, we must first put ourselves in other people's shoes. If the words and actions hurt others, it is best Don't tell, don't do. Learn to lie, you know?"
Zhu'er suddenly looked at her strangely and said, "Qiu'er, tell me honestly, do you fall in love with my uncle? Do you want to be my uncle's little girl?"
"what?"
Qiu'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly said: "What are you talking about, I don't have one."
Zhu'er snorted coldly and said: "No? You have been defending my uncle all the time, and you have been matching our young lady and my young lady. Do you want to wait for my young lady and my young lady... Then, you can be my young lady's roommate, is not it?"
"no!"
"Exactly! Hmph, I'll go and tell my aunt right away, saying that Qiu'er wants to keep my aunt to sleep with my aunt in the fragrant boudoir tonight."
Pearl said, intending to go out.
Qiu'er became anxious immediately, and quickly hugged her from behind, blushing and said: "Zhu'er! Don't talk nonsense, be careful when my uncle hears it, you will be ashamed to death."
Zhu Er laughed: "Xiao Nizi is in a hurry, Xiao Nizi is guilty!"
"Furthermore, let me tear your mouth apart!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Qiu'er said that he wanted Grandpa to tear her belly tonight... Douuu..."
Qiu'er hurriedly covered her mouth, desperately dragging her into the back of the kitchen.
"Brother-in-law, come in..."
In the study room, the bed is limp.
The girl in snow-white clothes invites you softly again, frowning slightly, biting her pink lips, with a bitter face, looking pitiful and pitiful.
How many people in the world can refuse this appearance?
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze, didn't speak any more, lowered his head, took off his shoes, and walked in.
A girlish fragrance wafted in the room, mixed with the heater, and instantly enveloped his whole body.
The feet step on the soft blanket, and the heart seems to fall into the softness.
This room, this girl, this breath, this atmosphere, even if a hard-hearted person enters, it will soften.
Luo Qingzhou walked up to the soft cave, and was about to bow her head to speak, when the girl said softly, "Brother-in-law, come up..."
"Come up on the couch..."
She said softly again.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself: Anyway, he has already come in, so let's go up.
Anyway, the mother-in-law also said, let him be a qualified brother-in-law.
Satisfying the requirements of my sister-in-law, should it count?
He got on the couch and sat opposite.
The girl stretched out her slender jade hand, lightly tapped a chess piece on the chessboard with her slender white fingertips, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, can you play chess?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No."
Even if he could, he would have to say no, otherwise the girl would invite him to play chess again, and the trouble would be even greater.
"Then Wei Mo teaches brother-in-law, okay?"
"...Second Miss, I'm here tonight to ask Second Miss something. Is there a distinguished guest from Kyoto in our mansion? Does Second Miss know her name?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and asked directly.
The girl was startled when she heard the words, glanced at him, and said, "Did brother-in-law meet her?"
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to lie: "I seem to have met her once in the mansion. I heard from the maids that she seems to be from the capital. I don't know if it is her? Second Miss, what does that distinguished guest from the capital look like?"
The girl looked at him softly, and the corner of her mouth suddenly curved: "When my brother-in-law is lying, I dare not look at me even more."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the pieces on the chessboard, his cheeks felt a little hot.
For some reason, every time he faced this girl, he would feel guilty whenever he lied.
"Her name is Nangong Meijiao, she is the daughter of my mother's cousin, and her family is from Kyoto. She came to Mocheng to escape marriage. As for her appearance..."
The girl looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "As a man, my brother-in-law will definitely like Sister Meijiao's appearance and figure very much. If I see you, I will definitely remember it."
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said: It is indeed unforgettable, so it turns out that the cold and arrogant girl who likes smug beauty is really her.
Fortunately, there was no conflict with her yesterday.
"Oh, by the way, Second Miss."
Luo Qingzhou reached into his clothes, took out a bag of gold coins from the storage bag, put them on the chessboard, and said, "This is two hundred gold coins, and it's for the second lady."
The last time he went to Jubao Pavilion to buy a dagger, plus the gold coins for selling Yaodan, he only spent 80 gold coins from Second Miss Qin.
Yesterday, I just picked up more than 80 pieces in the Blackwood Forest, and I happened to collect another 200 pieces.
He doesn't want to owe too much to Miss Qin Er.
As for Miss Qin Er's proposal of giving him two hundred gold coins every month, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept it.
If he accepted, wouldn't it be like being adopted?
And the sister-in-law took care of her brother-in-law.
What's more, he probably knows something about the Qin family's situation. The economic situation seems to be not very good, and Qin Chuan is practicing again.
At this time, of course he can no longer spend other people's money.
"Second Miss, it's getting late, then you rest, I'm leaving."
Luo Qingzhou put down the money and was about to get up and leave.
The girl panicked, subconsciously stretched out her hand, held his hand on the chessboard, and begged softly: "Brother-in-law, sit with Wei Mo for a while, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou frowned, lowered her gaze, and landed on her snow-white, jade-like hands.
The girl's fair cheeks were stained with two touches of blush, bit her lips lightly, Fang slowly took her hand away, lowered her head and said: "Brother-in-law, Wei Mo still wants to talk to you, okay?"
"Uncle, Miss, here comes the porridge."
Qiu'er brought in two bowls of porridge at the right time, put them on the small table between the two of them, then took the chessboard and chess pieces away, and said with a smile, "Master, the porridge has to be finished. Stay with my miss for a while, miss this Still can't sleep."
After finishing speaking, he left with the tray and closed the door by the way.
In the room, fell into silence.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to pick up the spoon, looked down at the porridge in the bowl and said, "Second Miss, eat the porridge, or it will get cold in a while."
The girl also picked up the spoon, stirred the porridge in the bowl lightly, looked up at him and said, "Brother-in-law, if you finish eating in one more bite this time, I will also give the porridge in my bowl to brother-in-law. "
Luo Qingzhou originally picked up the bowl, and when he was about to eat a few mouthfuls, he paused when he heard this, and had to put down the bowl again, lowered his head, and ate slowly spoon by spoon.
The corner of the girl's mouth curled into a smile.
The two of them lowered their heads and ate the porridge slowly, mouthful by mouthful, without talking.
The girl occasionally raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes were full of happiness, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was always hanging there.
Outside the window, the cold wind whimpered and the snow fell.
In the room, it is quiet and warm.
Zhu'er and Qiu'er stood outside the door, holding their breath, neither of them made a sound.
The two felt very strange.
Miss coughed from time to time even when she stayed in the room, and often coughed up blood.
But as soon as the uncle came, the lady no longer coughed.
What exactly happened?
Zhu'er held back, but couldn't hold back, lowered her voice and whispered: "Qiu'er, Miss often coughs when she sleeps at night, tell me... if my uncle is here, will you..."
Qiu'er didn't answer.
Zhu'er whispered again: "Qiu'er, why don't you try it tonight? Later you go to seduce my uncle, invite him to sleep in your boudoir, and when you get tired of tossing my uncle, then... um..."
Before she finished speaking, Qiu'er covered her mouth, then dragged her out, into the next room, closed the door, scratched her hard, and punished her severely.
"By the way, brother-in-law, sister Meijiao came here just now."
In the study, the girl suddenly spoke.
She thought that talking about this, maybe her brother-in-law would be interested, and maybe her brother-in-law would not be in a hurry to leave.
Luo Qingzhou really changed his expression, looked up at her and said, "Why is she here?"
The girl looked at his expression, and said softly: "Sister Meijiao came to see me, and listen to me by the way, the stories my brother-in-law told me. Sister Meijiao also likes to listen to my brother-in-law's poems and stories."
Luo Qingzhou listened, just said "oh" lightly, lowered his head and finished the last mouthful of porridge, got up and said: "Second Miss, I'm done eating, then I..."
"Brother-in-law, I haven't finished eating yet..."
"It's getting late, I..."
"Brother-in-law, shall we talk about Bailing?"
Luo Qingzhou, who was about to stay in bed, paused for a moment, then sat back slowly.
The girl looked at him with complicated eyes.

Qiu'er stood outside the window, frowning.The girl stood in front of the window for a while, Fang nodded, and when she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly looked at the door outside the courtyard.A familiar figure appeared there.The girl was slightly stunned, as if she suddenly remembered something, immediately raised her plain hand, and closed the window. Outside.Luo Qingzhou stepped on the snow-soaked bluestone slabs and entered the courtyard. Seeing Qiu'er standing in the corridor, she asked softly, "Has Second Miss rested?"Qiu'er smiled slightly, walked to the door and said: "Not yet, the young lady is reading in the study, my uncle come in quickly."Luo Qingzhou glanced at the window and said, "No need, I'll just stand outside the window and say a few words." Qiu'er stopped at the door and said: "My lord, miss is reading on the couch. I feel a little uncomfortable today. It's inconvenient to get down. I can't open the windows, the cold wind will blow in."Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will talk to the second lady at the door of the study." Said, walked in.Qiu'er smiled "puchi", covered her mouth and said, "Uncle, Zhu'er is not here tonight, so you don't have to be afraid."Luo Qingzhou said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it should be like this."Brother-in-law came to look for sister-in-law in the middle of the night, and he was already under the melon field, which aroused suspicion; if he didn't know the rules and entered the room, he was alone, how to explain?Qiu'er smiled slightly, glanced at him again, entered the room, went to open the door, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the servants are going to make some porridge. Miss hasn't eaten tonight."Luo Qingzhou nodded.Qiu'er walked out of the house and went to the kitchen.Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study and looked inside.In the room, the lights were bright, and a weak girl in snow-white clothes was sitting quietly on a soft bed, holding a book in her hand, and looking at him with a smile in her eyes. "Brother-in-law, if you don't come in, I won't talk to you."After the girl finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze from him, lowered her head and flipped through the book, with a playful smile on her lips.Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and said: "Second Miss, I have something to ask you, I will leave after I finish."The girl continued to flip through the book with her head down, ignoring him.Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Then, Second Miss will rest earlier, and I will take my leave."The girl looked up at him suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law..."Luo Qingzhou stopped, met her eyes, bowed her head and cupped her hands: "Second Miss, it's getting late tonight, and I have to go to my wife's place to say hello, so I just want to say a few words to Second Miss at the door and leave .In fact, it's not an important thing, it doesn't matter if you say it or not." Just finished speaking, Zhu Er's cold voice suddenly came from the door: "Uncle, you don't need to go to Madam's place tonight, and you don't need to go for the time being, Madam is quite busy recently."Luo Qingzhou looked at her.Zhu'er said again: "Madam also asked the servant to tell my uncle to accompany my young lady well and be a qualified brother-in-law."Luo Qingzhou: "..." What kind of qualification is this "qualified"?Is it to keep a distance and abide by the rules between brother-in-law and sister-in-law; or... to be obedient to sister-in-law and respond to every request?At least, to give a standard, right?"Uncle, let's go in. The servants are not going to complain to the lady. The lady is very busy recently. We will go to the princess's celebration banquet in a few days. The lady is worrying about the gift for the princess, so I will ignore it for the time being. My uncle, so you don't have to be afraid.Pearl's face is expressionless and authentic.Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Are we going to attend the princess's celebration banquet too?"Zhu'er said: "Master and Madam are of course going, as for Young Master, it is probably..." "Pearl."In the study, Qin Weimo yelled softly.Zhu'er immediately said: "Miss, this servant is going to the kitchen to help Qiu'er heat the porridge, you can talk to my uncle, the servant will not stay here to be annoying." After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and went to the kitchen.At first, after my uncle knew that she was his wife's little "spies", she was still a little apprehensive and ashamed, but she gradually got used to it.Anyway, she didn't do anything bad, nor did she talk nonsense.She always tells the truth to her wife, and is also loyal to her own lady, so she is not afraid that my uncle will hate her.When she entered the kitchen, Qiu'er looked at her and whispered: "Don't talk to my uncle like that in the future, let alone mentioning that my uncle is married. My uncle will feel sad, and the lady will also be unhappy."Zhu'er pursed her lips and said, "Qiu'er, do you even help uncle? They are not talking nonsense, they are telling the truth."Qiu'er said softly: "Don't tell the truth, especially the words that are easy to hurt others. Didn't Miss usually tell us? Before speaking and doing things, we must first put ourselves in other people's shoes. If the words and actions hurt others, it is best Don't tell, don't do. Learn to lie, you know?"Zhu'er suddenly looked at her strangely and said, "Qiu'er, tell me honestly, do you fall in love with my uncle? Do you want to be my uncle's little girl?" "what?"Qiu'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly said: "What are you talking about, I don't have one."Zhu'er snorted coldly and said: "No? You have been defending my uncle all the time, and you have been matching our young lady and my young lady. Do you want to wait for my young lady and my young lady... Then, you can be my young lady's roommate, is not it?" "no!" "Exactly! Hmph, I'll go and tell my aunt right away, saying that Qiu'er wants to keep my aunt to sleep with my aunt in the fragrant boudoir tonight."Pearl said, intending to go out.Qiu'er became anxious immediately, and quickly hugged her from behind, blushing and said: "Zhu'er! Don't talk nonsense, be careful when my uncle hears it, you will be ashamed to death."Zhu Er laughed: "Xiao Nizi is in a hurry, Xiao Nizi is guilty!" "Furthermore, let me tear your mouth apart!" "Grandpa! Grandpa! Qiu'er said that he wanted Grandpa to tear her belly tonight... Douuu..." Qiu'er hurriedly covered her mouth, desperately dragging her into the back of the kitchen. "Brother-in-law, come in..." In the study room, the bed is limp.The girl in snow-white clothes invites you softly again, frowning slightly, biting her pink lips, with a bitter face, looking pitiful and pitiful.How many people in the world can refuse this appearance?Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze, didn't speak any more, lowered his head, took off his shoes, and walked in.A girlish fragrance wafted in the room, mixed with the heater, and instantly enveloped his whole body.The feet step on the soft blanket, and the heart seems to fall into the softness.This room, this girl, this breath, this atmosphere, even if a hard-hearted person enters, it will soften.Luo Qingzhou walked up to the soft cave, and was about to bow her head to speak, when the girl said softly, "Brother-in-law, come up..." "Come up on the couch..." She said softly again.Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself: Anyway, he has already come in, so let's go up.Anyway, the mother-in-law also said, let him be a qualified brother-in-law.Satisfying the requirements of my sister-in-law, should it count?He got on the couch and sat opposite.The girl stretched out her slender jade hand, lightly tapped a chess piece on the chessboard with her slender white fingertips, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, can you play chess?"Luo Qingzhou said: "No."Even if he could, he would have to say no, otherwise the girl would invite him to play chess again, and the trouble would be even greater. "Then Wei Mo teaches brother-in-law, okay?" "...Second Miss, I'm here tonight to ask Second Miss something. Is there a distinguished guest from Kyoto in our mansion? Does Second Miss know her name?"Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and asked directly.The girl was startled when she heard the words, glanced at him, and said, "Did brother-in-law meet her?"Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to lie: "I seem to have met her once in the mansion. I heard from the maids that she seems to be from the capital. I don't know if it is her? Second Miss, what does that distinguished guest from the capital look like?"The girl looked at him softly, and the corner of her mouth suddenly curved: "When my brother-in-law is lying, I dare not look at me even more."Luo Qingzhou looked at the pieces on the chessboard, his cheeks felt a little hot.For some reason, every time he faced this girl, he would feel guilty whenever he lied. "Her name is Nangong Meijiao, she is the daughter of my mother's cousin, and her family is from Kyoto. She came to Mocheng to escape marriage. As for her appearance..."The girl looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "As a man, my brother-in-law will definitely like Sister Meijiao's appearance and figure very much. If I see you, I will definitely remember it."Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said: It is indeed unforgettable, so it turns out that the cold and arrogant girl who likes smug beauty is really her. Fortunately, there was no conflict with her yesterday. "Oh, by the way, Second Miss."Luo Qingzhou reached into his clothes, took out a bag of gold coins from the storage bag, put them on the chessboard, and said, "This is two hundred gold coins, and it's for the second lady."The last time he went to Jubao Pavilion to buy a dagger, plus the gold coins for selling Yaodan, he only spent 80 gold coins from Second Miss Qin.Yesterday, I just picked up more than 80 pieces in the Blackwood Forest, and I happened to collect another 200 pieces.He doesn't want to owe too much to Miss Qin Er.As for Miss Qin Er's proposal of giving him two hundred gold coins every month, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept it. If he accepted, wouldn't it be like being adopted? And the sister-in-law took care of her brother-in-law. What's more, he probably knows something about the Qin family's situation. The economic situation seems to be not very good, and Qin Chuan is practicing again.At this time, of course he can no longer spend other people's money. "Second Miss, it's getting late, then you rest, I'm leaving."Luo Qingzhou put down the money and was about to get up and leave.The girl panicked, subconsciously stretched out her hand, held his hand on the chessboard, and begged softly: "Brother-in-law, sit with Wei Mo for a while, okay?"Luo Qingzhou frowned, lowered her gaze, and landed on her snow-white, jade-like hands.The girl's fair cheeks were stained with two touches of blush, bit her lips lightly, Fang slowly took her hand away, lowered her head and said: "Brother-in-law, Wei Mo still wants to talk to you, okay?" "Uncle, Miss, here comes the porridge."Qiu'er brought in two bowls of porridge at the right time, put them on the small table between the two of them, then took the chessboard and chess pieces away, and said with a smile, "Master, the porridge has to be finished. Stay with my miss for a while, miss this Still can't sleep." After finishing speaking, he left with the tray and closed the door by the way.In the room, fell into silence.Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to pick up the spoon, looked down at the porridge in the bowl and said, "Second Miss, eat the porridge, or it will get cold in a while."The girl also picked up the spoon, stirred the porridge in the bowl lightly, looked up at him and said, "Brother-in-law, if you finish eating in one more bite this time, I will also give the porridge in my bowl to brother-in-law. "Luo Qingzhou originally picked up the bowl, and when he was about to eat a few mouthfuls, he paused when he heard this, and had to put down the bowl again, lowered his head, and ate slowly spoon by spoon.The corner of the girl's mouth curled into a smile.The two of them lowered their heads and ate the porridge slowly, mouthful by mouthful, without talking.The girl occasionally raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes were full of happiness, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was always hanging there.Outside the window, the cold wind whimpered and the snow fell.In the room, it is quiet and warm.Zhu'er and Qiu'er stood outside the door, holding their breath, neither of them made a sound. The two felt very strange.Miss coughed from time to time even when she stayed in the room, and often coughed up blood. But as soon as the uncle came, the lady no longer coughed. What exactly happened?Zhu'er held back, but couldn't hold back, lowered her voice and whispered: "Qiu'er, Miss often coughs when she sleeps at night, tell me... if my uncle is here, will you..." Qiu'er didn't answer.Zhu'er whispered again: "Qiu'er, why don't you try it tonight? Later you go to seduce my uncle, invite him to sleep in your boudoir, and when you get tired of tossing my uncle, then... um..." Before she finished speaking, Qiu'er covered her mouth, then dragged her out, into the next room, closed the door, scratched her hard, and punished her severely. "By the way, brother-in-law, sister Meijiao came here just now."In the study, the girl suddenly spoke.She thought that talking about this, maybe her brother-in-law would be interested, and maybe her brother-in-law would not be in a hurry to leave.Luo Qingzhou really changed his expression, looked up at her and said, "Why is she here?"The girl looked at his expression, and said softly: "Sister Meijiao came to see me, and listen to me by the way, the stories my brother-in-law told me. Sister Meijiao also likes to listen to my brother-in-law's poems and stories."Luo Qingzhou listened, just said "oh" lightly, lowered his head and finished the last mouthful of porridge, got up and said: "Second Miss, I'm done eating, then I..." "Brother-in-law, I haven't finished eating yet..." "It's getting late, I..." "Brother-in-law, shall we talk about Bailing?"Luo Qingzhou, who was about to stay in bed, paused for a moment, then sat back slowly.The girl looked at him with complicated eyes.end of this chapter
