Chapter 176

Time seems to stand still.

The sun is shining brightly, passing through the exquisitely carved window lattice in the corridor and falling on this closed window.

Soft light fell through the curtains and illuminated the entire room.

On the candlestick in the corner, the red candle was still burning.

On the rice paper on the desk, the newly written ink has dried.

The room was silent.

I don’t know how much time passed.

It seems very long, yet it seems very short.

"Second Miss..."

Luo Qingzhou stood up quickly, poured tea, handed it to her lips and said, "Drink some water."

Drink water to divert your attention and wash away the emotions in your mind.

Miss Qin Er's face had turned pale at this moment, and her breathing had become rapid.

She lowered her head and drank some water, closed her eyes, and the fluctuating emotions in her heart slowly calmed down.

Another moment passed.

She just opened her eyes, lowered her long eyelashes, bit her pink lips, and apologized in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry... the slight ink is useless..."

Just putting on a sock to touch her made her breathless. After that...

Luo Qingzhou put down the water glass, helped her over and lay on the couch, and said softly: "Second Miss, don't say that."

The girl's face was pale, and there were tears in her eyes as she said, "But Wei Mo... Wei Mo's body..."

Luo Qingzhou said softly: "Second Miss, don't think too much, don't worry, your illness will definitely get better and nothing will happen to you."

"Brother-in-law..."

"Okay, stop talking and have a good rest."

"Brother-in-law, don't leave..."

"If you don't leave, I will sit here and stay with you. Go to sleep, don't think about it anymore, your body is important."

I don’t know how much time passed.

The girl finally slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Listening to the sound of sleeping breathing, Luo Qingzhou stared at the delicate little face with tear stains for a while, frowned, and sighed slightly.

The sun outside the window is gradually setting towards the west.

The room was silent.

There was also no sound outside the house.

Pearl, who went to get something, seemed to have disappeared and there was no movement at all.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the west and it was dusk.

Qiu'er knocked lightly on the door and shouted in a low voice: "Uncle..."

The two maids had been waiting at the door for a long time. Until this time, Fang couldn't help but knock on the door.

Luo Qingzhou said: "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open.

Qiu'er silently entered the back room and whispered: "Uncle, is the lady asleep?"

"I've been sleeping for more than an hour."

Luo Qingzhou stood up and said, "Miss Qiu'er, take care of her. It's time for me to go back."

Qiu'er looked at him and hesitated to speak.

Luo Qingzhou left the house.

Pearl stood in the corridor outside the door, holding a piece of rice paper in her hand. Seeing him come out, she handed the things to him and warned: "Uncle, these things are very important. The master said, except for the second young lady and the uncle No one can see it except others, I must keep it carefully."

Luo Qingzhou took it in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Did Master also mention me?"

Pearl nodded and said, "I mentioned it."

Luo Qingzhou said nothing more, thanked him and walked down the steps.

When they walked to the small courtyard, Pearl suddenly asked: "Uncle, did you take advantage of my young lady when you were in the house just now?"

Luo Qingzhou paused, thought for a moment, turned around and said, "No."

Pearl looked unbelieving.

He added: "However, your lady took advantage of me."

Let me put socks on her.

After saying that, he hugged his things and left quickly.

Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, looked at his back, and pouted: "Huh, you got an advantage and behaved so well. My young lady took advantage of it. I can laugh in my dreams!"

On the bed in the house.

There was a smile on Miss Qin Er's lips, as if she was having a sweet dream, and she even murmured in her sleep: "Brother-in-law..."

Luo Qingzhou was holding something in his arms and was distracted all the way.

When passing the Lingchan Moon Palace, Bai Ling wore a pink skirt and stood at the door looking at him handsomely and said: "Uncle, will you come to pay my respects to my young lady tonight?"

Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses, looked at her and said, "Did the eldest lady ask about me?"

Bai Ling's eyes were dark: "No."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, understood immediately, and said, "Okay, then I'll come over tonight."

The corner of Bai Ling's mouth moved, revealing a smile, and said crisply: "Uncle, remember to come early tonight."

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, walked over, took a look at the courtyard, and whispered: "Bailing, is Miss Xia Chan here?"

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "Chanchan is sleeping in the house. What, does my uncle miss her? Do you want to go to the house to sleep with her?"

Luo Qingzhou frowned and said seriously: "Don't be joking. Bai Ling, I want to ask, does Xia Chan sleep in the house during the day recently?"

Bai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Chanchan is afraid of the dark and dare not sleep alone at night, so she can only sleep during the day."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Why don't you sleep with her at night?"

Bai Ling shook his head and said, "No, Chanchan doesn't want me. She always has nightmares when she sleeps at night, and sometimes she even draws a sword. It's very scary, and I don't dare to sleep with her."

Luo Qingzhou felt a little sad when he heard this: "Is it because of what happened when he was a child?"

Bai Ling sighed and said, "That should be the case. For so many years, Chan Chan has been unable to get out of those shadows."

Luo Qingzhou thought about the lonely and silent girl wandering around the streets in the dark last night, and whispered: "Bai Ling, you can accompany her more at night in the future. If she doesn't sleep, she should walk around, right? It's lonely alone, you accompany her, it's better."

Bai Ling said helplessly: "Son-in-law, it's not that I don't accompany Chanchan. I have to take care of the young lady, and Chanchan doesn't want me to follow her."

Luo Qingzhou frowned, was silent for a while, and said: "Bai Ling, I couldn't sleep last night, so I walked around for a while and saw her outside the mansion. She was standing alone on the street outside in a daze, looking... quite pitiful . "

When Bailing heard this, a trace of doubt gradually appeared on her face, and then she gradually became solemn and whispered: "Son-in-law, did you say something to Chanchan?"

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"

Bailing frowned tightly and said solemnly: "Even if Chanchan can't sleep, she usually won't go out alone. She is a road idiot, can't tell the direction, can't recognize the road, and is very resistant and afraid of the unfamiliar environment and people outside. She went out last night, there must be a reason. Are you sure you didn't say anything to her?"

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a while, and carefully recalled what he said to her in the past few days.

After a while.

He suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and vaguely seemed to remember something.
