Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The smoke from the stove curled lazily upward.

There was a short silence in the room.

There seemed to be a hint of guilt, pity, and hesitation in Second Young Miss’s eyes.

She was the one who brought up this topic.

However, she did not know what she should say.

There were some things that she could not say.

She could not bear to say it either.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, “Brother-in-law, how do you think

Bai Ling is different from the other maidservants?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and went straight to the point. “Second Young Miss, you should have something else to say to me, right? Something about Bai Ling?”

Qin Weimo felt his burning gaze fixed upon her, and she lowered her head slightly and looked at the cold porridge in her bowl. After a long silence, she slowly said, “Bai Ling is not a maidservant. The Qin family has never treated her as a maidservant, and Xia Chan is not…”

Her voice trailed off before she added, “I know that you might have already guessed something. However, I shouldn’t be the one to tell you about this. I can’t tell you either. I’m sorry.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s fine. Actually, I

know everything. ”

Qin Weimo looked at him guiltily. She said gently, “Don’t blame Elder Sister.

She…’

“I don’t blame her.”

Luo Qingzhou said calmly, “Perhaps you don’t believe me. But I’m telling the truth. Not only do I not blame her, but I’m also very grateful to her. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t even be in this place. If it weren’t for her, I might not be in this world anymore. Moreover… they didn’t need to sacrifice a certain someone, but they did so. I’m already very contented.”

“Brother-in-law…”

Qin Weimo’s eyes were misty. She looked at him gently and said, “You’re really a good man.”

Luo Qingzhou stood up and smiled faintly. “Second Young Miss, I don’t want to be a good man. There is a saying that the good don’t live long, just like…”

At this point, his smile suddenly disappeared. He looked at her and said gently, “Of course, there are exceptions. Some good people will live longer than anyone else, just like you.”

Qin Weimo smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes.

“Brother-in-law…”

“Second Young Miss, it’s getting late. You should rest early. I should go back.”

Luo Qingzhou stood up and bade farewell. He got off the bed, lowered his head, and cupped his hands.

Qin Weimo looked at him gently but did not ask him to stay.

She knew that he had to leave.

Just like the once proud and aloof plum blossom outside the window. When the season came, she would eventually wilt.

No one could persuade her to stay.

Right at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside. Then, the door was pushed open.

Zhu’er suddenly appeared at the door and said in panic, “Sir, Miss, bad news. Madam is here!”

Luo Qingzhou’s expression turned to one of terror. He was about to run out when he suddenly realized something.

“Why do I have to run?’

“Can’t Ijust walk out?’

He and Second Young Miss were innocent and had a clear conscience. They only sat on the couch and chatted for a while. Their clothes were neat, and the atmosphere was harmonious. It was not like they had done anything shameful.

Why should he run?

Luo Qingzhou calmed down and walked out.

Zhu’er hurriedly stopped him and said anxiously, “Sir, you can’t go out yet. Madam has brought many maidservants over. Sir, you can’t let too many people see you. Also, Madam just scolded someone outside, and looks like she’s still in the midst of her rage. If you go out now, she’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I merely spoke to Second Young Miss for a while…”

Zhu’er said, “But it’s nighttime now. Both of you are siblings-in-law. Madam might not think much of it, but if the other maidservants and maidservants see this, they will definitely gossip in private. Rumors are scary, and I’m afraid

Madam will have to punish you. If this gets out, things will be even worse. The Grand Princess is coming to MO City in a few days. The Qin residence can’t be made the laughingstock of the whole city..

When Luo Qingzhou heard her say this, he immediately felt that the matter was a little serious. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard noisy footsteps in the courtyard outside and Qiu’er’s voice. “Madam, Young Miss is reading alone in the study. She hasn’t rested yet.”

Luo Qingzhou stood rooted to the spot with fear.

Oh no.

It was even more impossible for him to go out now.

“Sir, quick! Hide! Madam is coming in!”

Zhu’er urged him anxiously and hurriedly closed the door. Then, she quickly bent down and picked up his shoes at the door. She threw them in the corner and covered them with something.

When Luo Qingzhou heard the sound of footsteps approaching the entrance of the hall, he immediately panicked. He could only turn around and look for a place to hide.

Qin Weimo had already gotten off the couch. She walked to the bed and lowered the curtain. She said in a low voice, “Brother-in-law, here, on the bed..

Luo Qingzhou glanced around the room.

At this moment, the footsteps were almost at the door.

Song Ruyue scolded angrily, “If all of you are not competent at your jobs, I’ll bury you all in the backyard later as fertilizer! All of you have bitter expressions on your faces. Have I ever mistreated you? Do you think that you won’t provoke me if you don’t speak?”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart was in his mouth. He did not dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately rushed to the bed and jumped onto it. He hurriedly squatted at the head of the bed.

“Brother-in-law, lie down. I can see your shadow on the blanket…”

The curtain was thin. Under the light, one could vaguely see a shadow squatting there.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly lay down and covered himself with the blanket.

Creak.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened..
