Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 28: Greeting the First Young Miss

At seven o'clock in the evening.

The moonlight was bright, and the cold breeze blew gently.

Luo Qingzhou held the bouquet of flowers left behind by Bai Ling. With Xiao Die in tow, he went to the courtyard where First Young Miss Qin lived.

After hesitating for a moment at the entrance, he went forward and knocked on the door.

After knocking twice, the courtyard door suddenly opened. Bai Ling appeared at the door and said in surprise, "Oh? It's Sir. Why are you here so late? Is something the matter?"

After saying that, she saw the flowers in his hand.

Then, she smiled and said, "Oh, you're here to pay your respect to Young Miss? Please come in."

Bai Ling opened the door with a smile on her face and then retreated to one side.

Luo Qingzhou looked inside and did not see Xia Chan. He relaxed slightly and asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Xia Chan not here?"

Bai Ling immediately shouted, "Sir, are you here to look for Xia Chan? Yes, she's here!"

After saying that, she turned around and yelled, "Chanchan, Sir is here to look for you! He has a bouquet of flowers with him, come out and greet him."

Luo Qingzhou was rendered speechless.

A chill suddenly came from inside the house.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, "I'm here to pay my respects to First Young Miss."

After saying that, he took the flowers and braced himself before walking in.

Clear moonlight shone down on the courtyard.

In front of the stone table, a beautiful figure in white clothes sat quietly. The moonlight shone upon the stone table, and she was staring at it in a daze.

In the shadows not far behind her, a girl in a light green dress was staring at him coldly with her arms crossed. She had a sword in her arms.

Luo Qingzhou only took one glance before quickly retracting his gaze. He approached the figure in front of the stone table and lowered his head respectfully. "First Young Miss," he greeted.

He did not give her the flowers that he was holding.

He knew that even if he did so, Qin Jianjia would not accept his flowers.

Qin Jianjia was still staring at the stone table in a daze. She did not look at him.

Of course, she did not speak either.

Luo Qingzhou waited for more than 10 seconds before looking up into her beautiful and deep eyes.

However, he did not hear any of her thoughts.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort suddenly came from the shadows not far away.

A cold light flashed in Xia Chan's eyes. The sword in her arms seemed restless, ready to strike at any moment.

Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.

At this moment, he hesitated a little.

He wanted to bid them goodbye and leave this terrifying and oppressive place as soon as possible.

However, his rationality told him that ultimately, he had to figure this out.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "First Young Miss, I feel cold sleeping alone at night. Since it's not convenient for you to accompany me, can you let Miss Bai Ling accompany me instead?"

After saying this, he looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him again.

But to his disappointment, she was still in a daze. Her face and eyes showed no trace of any emotion.

"Is she deaf and mute?" he wondered.

Luo Qingzhou looked up at the cold girl standing in the shadows.

Xia Chan's arms were no longer crossed in front of her chest. She had already put down her hands. She held the sword in one hand and clenched her fist with the other. Her eyes were cold as if she was about to draw the sword anytime.

Luo Qingzhou still did not hear her thoughts.

However, he could feel her murderous aura.

He turned around and looked at Bai Ling, who was standing by the door.

Bai Ling said with an innocent and frightened expression, "Sir, you... How can you do this? You just got married to Young Miss and even slept with her two nights ago. How can you say such things?"

Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes and did not hear her thoughts either.

He had risked his life tonight, yet he found nothing.

"No, I don't want to sleep with Sir. Young Miss, please don't agree to Sir's request!"

Bai Ling begged fearfully and tearfully.

Luo Qingzhou gave her a profound look. He did not dare to stay any longer. He kept a tight clutch on his flowers and lowered his head respectfully. "First Young Miss, in that case, I'll be leaving. Have an early rest."

With that, he lowered his head and left.

When he walked to Bai Ling's side, he handed over the flowers to her.

Bai Ling quickly placed her hands behind her back, shaking her head in panic and bashfulness. "No, I don't want it! Sir, you should give it to Young Miss. Either that or you can give it to Xia Chan."

Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and stuffed the flowers into her collar before walking out of the small courtyard.

There was pin-drop silence in the courtyard.

After the master and servant left, Bai Ling took the flowers out from her clothes, walked over, and placed them respectfully on the stone table.

The beautiful girl in a daze finally returned to her senses and looked at the flowers on the table.

The small courtyard was still silent.

There was only the sound of the night wind blowing.

After a long time, Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Sir is so bold..."

Luo Qingzhou brought Xiao Die back to the small courtyard and did not think too much about what had happened earlier. He prepared to boil water and bathe.

Xiao Die had just entered the kitchen when Luo Qingzhou suddenly remarked, "Let's not boil water. Let's go to the lake, it's more comfortable there."

He was not in a good mood tonight and his body was very tired. He wanted to go to the hot spring to soothe his body and soul.

Xiao Die quickly came out of the kitchen and said, "Sir, the lake is dangerous. Can we not go there?"

Luo Qingzhou had already returned to his room to get clean clothes. He comforted, "It'll be fine. We can stay on the side of the lake. The water isn't deep. Besides, I know how to swim."

Xiao Die was still very worried. Just as she was about to continue persuading him, Luo Qingzhou said, "Go and prepare a change of clothes too. You'll find that it's really comfortable to soak in the lake. I guarantee that once you try it, you won't want to bathe in the room anymore."

Xiao Die's heart raced, and her face turned red.

"Okay," Xiao Die muttered.

She lowered her head and did not say anything else. She turned around and entered her room, her heart beating rapidly.

At the thought that she was going to soak in the lake with Young Master later, her face heated a little more.

The master-servant duo took their clothes and closed the door to the small courtyard. They walked toward Moonlight Rain Court.

Along the way, Xiao Die's face was tomato red. Like a thief, she looked around nervously, afraid of encountering others.

It was night and there was fog in the lake, so no one could see them. However, Xiao Die still felt ashamed at the thought of having to bathe outside in the lake and exposing herself in such a way.

They entered the archway.

Luo Qingzhou first carefully looked around the lake. After seeing that no one was around, he led Xiao Die along the lake and walked to the northwest corner.

When they reached the most remote corner, Luo Qingzhou told Xiao Die to squat down.

The two of them squatted among the flowers and held their breaths.

Luo Qingzhou looked around carefully again. After listening to the sounds for a while, he confirmed that there was no one there.

Only then did he say, "All right, Xiao Die, take off your clothes. I will go down first to gauge the water depth."

Although the lake was not deep, Xiao Die was at most 1.5 meters tall. It would be troublesome if she accidentally fell into the mud or sank into a mud pit.

It was going to lead to disastrous consequences if she screamed or got a scare.

Luo Qingzhou turned his back to Xiao Die and quickly removed his clothes before getting into the water.

He lowered himself into the lake, letting out a sigh at how good the warm water felt.

He poked his head out of the water and studied his surroundings before looking back at the shore. He said in a low voice, "Xiao Die, you can come down now. I'm standing in shallow water."

Xiao Die hid among the flowers by the shore, her face flushed red. After struggling inwardly with herself, she shyly untied the belt around her slender waist and slowly took off her dress.

Luo Qingzhou walked three meters away.

White mist floated on the surface of the lake. When a person was submerged in the water, others could only vaguely see their heads. Their faces were not highly visible at all.

Therefore, it was impossible for Luo Qingzhou to see Xiao Die's body.

Moreover, that little girl was thin and weak. She had yet to develop fully. What was there to see?

At most, he would play with her delicate and cute feet.

Besides, the little girl was his woman, to begin with. If he wanted to see her body, he could do so openly. There was no need to sneak around like this.

Luo Qingzhou sat down on a rock in the shallow water, revealing his neck and head. He felt a comfortable sensation and the image of the human body's acupoints appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of the Fluttering Plum Blossoms fist technique recorded in the secret manual.

It was recorded in the Plum Blossom Manual that one could only use the Fluttering Plum Blossoms technique after he reached the Tendon Refinement realm.

As Luo Qingzhou soaked in the hot spring, he thought about that technique to see if it was as tough as the Thunder Fist.

"Young... Young Master, I'm coming down..."

Plop!

Just as the little girl finished speaking, she suddenly slipped and fell into the lake below.

The mist swirled and water splashed all over the place.

Under the moonlight, Luo Qingzhou saw a flash of white.

Then, a pair of slender and fair feet emerged from the water in an upside-down posture.

Xiao Die had revealed her slender legs.

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

Luo Qingzhou felt a bit dumbfounded. He quickly picked Xiao Die up and swung her in a circle, setting her back on her feet.

Xiao Die's eyes were wide open. Her forehead and hair were covered in mud, and she was trembling violently in his arms.

Luo Qingzhou thought that she was frightened by the fall just now. Just as he was about to comfort her, he saw her ashen white face. Xiao Die pointed at the misty lake in front of her and said with a trembling voice, "Y-young Master... There's a monster below..."
