Luo Qingzhou returned to bed.
Xiao Die heard the sound and ran out to open the courtyard door.
Qin Weimo was a little embarrassed and did not know what to say.
Qiuâer was more familiar with Xiao Die. She pulled her into the small courtyard and said in a low voice, âIs Sir awake? Miss Su especially came over and said that she wanted to see him.â
Xiao Die looked back and said awkwardly, âBut Young Master is already resting.â
Qiuâer poked her with her finger and said in a low voice, âSir didnât go tonight. Madam is already angry. Go in and take a look. If heâs feeling better, itâs best if he can get up and see Miss Su. After all, sheâs an esteemed guest. My Miss is in a difficult position.â
Xiao Die said helplessly, âAll right, Iâll go in and take a look.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Qingwan entered the small courtyard and looked around. She could not help but say, âWeimo, your brother-in-law lives here with this maidservant? Your elder sisterâ¦â
Qin Weimo sighed slightly. âElder Sisterâs health isnât too good, so the two of them donât live together.â
When Su Qingvvan heard this, she smiled faintly. âIâm afraid itâs not because sheâs not in good health, right? This man married into the family and is an illegitimate son without a proper status. Thatâs why heâs being treated like that, right?â
Then, she said, âWeimo, Iâm a straightforward person, so donât take my words to heart. I feel that since the two of them are already married, there shouldnât be so many rules. If a husband and wife donât live together, what kind of husband and wife are they? Your brother-in-law is so talented and hardworking. He will definitely make a name for himself in the future. Itâs not good for you guys to treat him like this.â
Qin Weimo lowered her head slightly and did not speak.
Su Qingwan glanced at her. She could not help but sigh. âI also know that your elder sisterâs situation is special. It might be unsuitable for them to live together. Weimo, pretend that I didnât say that. Donât think too much about it. I know what kind of person you are. You must feel terrible too. Sigh, there are too many rules in this world, especially for a big family like yours. If you donât follow certain rules, people will gossip about you. Thereâs nothing we can do.â
At this moment, Xiao Die quickly walked out of the house and said respectfully,
âSecond Young Miss, Miss Su, my young master is awake.â
Su Qingwanâs eyes lit up. She immediately walked to the window and bowed slightly. âYoung Master Luo, Iâm sorry to disturb you so late at night. Itâs just that the poems you wrote made my heart itch. Tonight, I heard that Aunt was coming to the Qin residence and tagged along because I want to visit you.â
Qin Weimo also walked forward. Her voice was gentle and her face was filled with concern. âBrother-in-law, are you feeling any better?â
Luo Qingzhou got up from the bed and put on his clothes. He replied, âIâm much better. Thank you for your concern, Second Young Miss.â
The reason why he did not pretend to be asleep was firstly because he did not want to make things difficult for Second Young Miss Qin. Secondly, after hearing Miss Suâs words, he felt that she was a good person and there should be no issues with greeting her.
The window was closed.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and his shadow was reflected in the window. He cupped his hands and said, âMiss Su, Iâm not feeling well tonight, so I wonât go out to meet you.â
There were some rules that he had to abide by.
Here, he was the son-in-law, not the Young Master.
Su Qingwan said apologetically, âYoung Master Luo, youâre not feeling well. Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have come over to disturb you. However, I admire your poems. I came here tonight to ask you for guidance. Since youâre already awake, you probably wonât be able to sleep for a while. Iâll talk to you outside the house. I hope you wonât be stingy with your guidance.â
The room was silent for a moment before Luo Qingzhou said, âMiss Su, youâve misunderstood. I didnât compose those poems.â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone outside the house was stunned.
Su Qingwan looked surprised. âYoung Master Luo, why do you say that? If those poems werenât written by you, who did?â
Luo Qingzhou said, âI only saw it in a book and remembered it. As for who did it, I donât remember.â
âThen can you tell me which book you saw it in?â
Su Qingwan looked at the tall figure in the window and asked.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, âI forgot.â
There was silence outside the house.
Su Qingwan smiled bitterly and said, âYoung Master, thereâs no need to be like this. I know that you have a special identity now and donât want to become famous too early. You just want to study hard and bide your time. That way, when you attend the Imperial Examination in the future, youâll achieve instant fame. I didnât come here today for any other reason. I just admire your talent very much and want to meet you and say something. I can guarantee that I wonât tell anyone about what happened tonight.â
The room fell silent.
Su Qingwan looked at the shadow on the window and said softly, âSince itâs inconvenient for you to speak, can you do me a favor?â
There was a moment of silence in the room before Luo Qingzhou said, âIâm all ears.â
Su Qingwan said, âIn a few days, the Mandarin Duck Restaurant will hold a poetry gathering. The topic has been released. I thought hard and composed two poems, but Iâm still not satisfied. Can you help me compose a poem so that I can read it during the poetry gathering? Can you give me some pointers?â
The person in the room sighed and said, âMiss Su, Iâm not lying to you. Iâm not good at poetry.â
Su Qingwan lowered her head slightly and said, âYoung Master Luo, I can guarantee that I wonât mention you to anyone. If youâre willing to help, Iâll be extremely grateful. If you need my help in the future, I wonât refuse.â
Luo Qingzhou continued, âIâm sorry, Miss Su. I really donât know how to compose poetry. Besides, Iâm not feeling well tonight. Please leave..â
