At this point, she looked at a certain place teasingly.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and walked to the kitchen.

Bai Ling continued, “By the way, this is already the new month. When do you want to use your one chance?”

Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and deliberately asked, “What chance?”

Bai Ling said, “A chance to sleep with Miss.”

Luo Qingzhou said directly, “I’ve been studying hard recently and don’t have the mood to think about that. Miss Bai Ling, please go back and tell the First Young Miss that we’ll forget about this month. I believe First Young Miss will be very happy to hear that, right?”

Bai Ling did not say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her meaningfully and entered the kitchen.

Bai Ling left. On the way, she muttered to herself, “Chanchan sneaked out in the middle of the night last night. She won’t come to Sir’s place, right? But…

she hasn’t recovered yet? That shouldn’t be the case. Then this opportunity… As Chanchan’s good friend, we ought to stay together, for better or for worse…

Now that she is unwell, I should help her share the workload. Why don’t I…”

“No, I can’t think like that! How can I have such shameful thoughts? Bai Ling, oh Bai Ling, don’t tell me that you’ve been kissed silly by Sir. You said before that you have to be like the flowers every morning. You will forever stay pure and innocent, pink and tender…”

Luo Qingzhou had dinner at home.

He originally wanted to bring Xiao Die along, but the latter refused to go. She felt that there were too many people and even Madam—who was fussy and not easy to serve—there, so she did not dare tag along.

She would rather embroider at home.

Luo Qingzhou could only leave by himself. He headed over to Second Young Miss Qin’s place.

The sun was setting over green hills.

Clouds filled the sky and over the courtyard where flowers bloomed.

Qin Weimo was wearing a plain white dress and a snow-white fox fur coat. She was standing under the plum blossom tree in the courtyard. She raised her face slightly and looked at the blooming plum blossoms growing on the branches in a daze.

The setting sun shone on her body and coated her with a gentle and holy light.

She stood there quietly. She looked delicate and weak, but she was innocent and pure. She was unsullied and had a gentle beauty.

The maidservants and grannies were quietly guarding not far away. They held their breaths and did not dare to disturb her.

When Luo Qingzhou entered the courtyard and looked at the beautiful sunset with the plum blossoms, he stopped in his tracks and stood quietly on the spot.

“Cough… Cough..

A breeze blew past.

Qin Weimo coughed a few times before coming back to her senses. She turned around and saw Luo Qingzhou.

The girl was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile that was even more moving and beautiful than the plum blossoms bloomed on her slightly pale face. She said gently, “Brother-in-law, why didn’t you make a sound? I didn’t notice that you were already here.”

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully, “I saw that you were enjoying the scenery, and

I’m afraid that I’ll spoil your mood.”

Qin Weimo smiled and looked at the plum blossoms on the branch. She said softly, “What mood? It’s just that when I see the plum blossoms, it got me thinking…”

After a pause, the young girl looked at him and said, “This aloof winter plum survives the winter but will wither in the spring, a season when hundreds of flowers compete for beauty. Brother-in-law, tell me, should I be happy or sad?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at the melancholy on her features and was silent for a moment. He said slowly, “Some people like prosperity, liveliness, and competition, while others like peace. They like to be carefree in their own small world. Others might think that it’s sad and pitiful, but in fact, when you look at others, you might find that others are the really sad ones. Everyone has their own way of living and has their preferences. Second Young Miss, just let nature take its course and let it be. Thinking too much will only hurt your body.”

Qin Weimo looked at him gently and said, “Brother-in-law, you’re right. I keep feeling that you can see through me. No matter what I say or think, you’ll know.”

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, “It was just a casual remark of mine. You flatter me, Second Young Miss.”

Qin Weimo’s gaze flickered. She smiled and said, “But there are some things that you can’t see through.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her but he did not say anything.

At this moment, Zhu’er said, “Miss, it’s getting dark. Madam should be ready.

We should leave.”

Qin Weimo nodded slightly.

Qiu’er and Zhu’er hurriedly supported her from both sides.

The remaining maidservants and grannies surrounded her.

Two maidservants held umbrellas to block the wind while a maidservant walked in front to scout the way.

Luo Qingzhou moved aside.

When Qin Weimo walked to his side, she smiled bitterly and said softly, “Brother-in-law, you must be watching with amusement as I make a fool of myself. Whenever I go out, many people will have to follow me. I shouldn’t have gone out tonight, but Mother…’

Luo Qingzhou said, “It’s good for your health if you go out occasionally and take a breather. When you go out to play and your maidservants follow, it can be considered as a slight break for them too.”

Zhu’er hurriedly chimed in, “Sir is right, Miss. You may not know this, but everyone has been excited since yesterday. All of us are greatly anticipating the trip today. In fact, Qiu’er was so excited that she had trouble sleeping last night.”

Qiu’er smiled in embarrassment. “Miss, this is indeed the case. Everyone is happy to be able to go out. After all, we haven’t gone out for a long time.” The other maidservants and grannies also smiled and agreed.

Feeling everyone’s happiness and the relaxed atmosphere, Qin Weimo could not help but smile. She turned to look at the young man beside her and said, “Brother-in-law, look. I always say that you’re good at talking. If you say something, everyone will agree and laugh.”

Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, she smiled and added in a playful tone,

“Looks like you’ll have to talk to me more often in the future.”

Qiu’er hurriedly agreed with a smile. “That’s right. In the future, we have to ask Sir to come over often to entertain us.’

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Of course, everyone knew very well who he needed to entertain.

Luo Qingzhou walked and did not dare to answer them.

Qin Weimo glanced at him with a gentle smile and did not make things difficult for him.

At the same time.

On the MO River in the city, two luxuriously decorated pleasure boats were already hung with colorful lanterns and exquisite accessories.

In the hall of the double-decker cabin, various fruits and snacks were being prepared in an orderly manner.

Some guests had already arrived, but they were not in a hurry to board the boat. Instead, they stood by the river and admired the beautiful scenery of the river in the evening. They gathered together and chatted.

Tonight, the scholars and beauties of MO City were all gathered here. Even the courtesans from the various brothels had gathered, preparing to enjoy the last grand event before the new year.

There would be a lot of programs tonight.

There were singing and dancing performances, zither performances, acrobatics, and so on.

However, the most anticipated event was naturally the poetry competition between scholars.

At every banquet, there would more or less be a few scholars who would rise to fame because of their outstanding works or shock the world and become well-known.

From then on, it brought him more glory and opportunities. Tonight was clearly an opportunity for those present..
