Chapter 96: Catching Adulterers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The night was quiet.
There was no harassment from the cold wind or the teasing of snowflakes.
There was only a silver moon hanging in the night sky, quietly watching him.
The weather was good tonight.
However, Luo Qingzhou still did not dare to be careless.
He was very careful along the way. Like the wind, he floated and soon arrived at Mandarin Duck Restaurant.
He stopped a hundred meters away and looked at the top of the Mandarin Duck
Restaurant.
There was no one around.
It seemed to be a little early.
That senior had yet to arrive.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to approach the restaurant alone. He could only wander around for a while. As he observed the houses and streets of MO City, he honed his soul in the night.
An hour later.
He returned to Mandarin Duck Restaurant.
On the eaves, the moon-white figure was already standing there silently.
The silver moon was like a hook.
The figure was hazy and illusory. It was as if it would be covered by dark clouds in the next second and disappear without a trace.
When Luo Qingzhou approached, a snow-white handkerchief flew out and covered the red bead at the top of the pavilion.
“Thank you, Senior.”
He stopped four to five meters away from the pavilion and did not approach again. He cupped his hands and said apologetically, “Senior, I have something on tonight, so I came to tell you in advance. I can’t come over and tell you stories tonight.”
The white figure seemed to be stunned for a moment when she heard this. She said in an ethereal voice, “What’s the matter?”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, “I have to accompany my wife at home tonight. I’m sorry, Senior.”
However, when he said that, his face felt a little hot.
The truth was that he had to stay in his room tonight and wait for someone to come…
When the moon-white figure heard this, she seemed to frown and fell silent.
The air suddenly became silent.
After a while.
Luo Qingzhou was about to leave when the figure suddenly asked in an ethereal voice, “Is there really a wife waiting for you at home?”
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. He looked up at her and said, “Of course. Senior, do you… do you not believe that I have a wife, or do you not believe that… my wife is waiting for me at home?”
The moon-white figure was silent for a long time. She stared at him for a moment through the hazy light before saying in a low voice, “Go.”
Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else. He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
He had to hurry back.
He did not know when that cunning girl would suddenly pass by.
The white figure stood quietly on the eaves and watched him gradually disappear into the night. She frowned and stood there for a long time. Then, she put away her handkerchief and disappeared in a flash.
Luo Qingzhou floated back into the room. When his soul returned to his body, Xiao Die had already left.
The little girl entered the Ling Chan Moon Palace very cautiously.
Bai Ling pulled her in warmly and sent her into the room. She locked her in the room and smiled warmly. “Xiao Die, embroider on the bed. If you’re tired, sleep. I’ll come over later.”
The little girl did not dare to ask further and nodded obediently.
After Bai Ling left, she went to Xia Chan’s room and muttered to herself for a while before going to the back garden.
Qin Jianjia, who was sitting in the pavilion, suddenly said, “Bai Ling.”
Bai Ling was shocked and hurriedly ran over. “Miss, you’re back so early? What’s wrong?”
Qin Jianjia looked at the moonlight in the pond outside the pavilion and was silent for a moment before saying, “Go there and see who’s in his room.”
“Huh?” Xiao Die said.
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, she suddenly came to a realization and hurriedly said, “Oh, oh, Young Miss, are you talking about Sir? I’ll go right away.”
With that, she held a plum blossom and quickly walked out of the back garden. She was secretly puzzled. Xiao Die was not around anymore. Who would be in Sir’s room? Could it be that Miss had seen someone else?
At the thought of this, she was instantly furious. She quickened her pace and said angrily, “Stupid Sir, you’re indeed a bad person. You actually cheated on us behind our backs! I want to see which girl actually dares to be so bold!”
“Oh? Should I tell Chanchan?”
“Forget it, forget it. Chanchan is still sick, she bled a lot today. If she finds out, she will probably bleed again tonight… Either the adulterous couple will bleed, or she herself will bleed… Sigh.”
“Stupid Sir! Just you wait! I’m here to catch you in the act!”
Bai Ling rushed out of the door.
Luo Qingzhou sat in the room for a while. Seeing that it was still early, he lit an oil lamp and candles. He opened the window and read at the table.
After looking at it for a while, he spread out the rice paper and picked up his brush to practice calligraphy.
During the Imperial Examination, literary talent was very important, but so was writing.
Since ancient times, most of the people who were awarded a ranking had good calligraphy skills.
Calligraphy was like one’s face. If the first impression given to the grading officer was bad, then the results of the paper would be discounted.
If the literary talent of the two papers was about the same, those with beautiful handwriting would definitely be given priority.
If it was the Palace Examination, it even depended on one’s overall image.
If one’s attire was disheveled or his appearance was wretched, then even if he was first in talent and results, he might not be able to obtain the ranking he deserved.
Luo Qingzhou remembered that there was such a talented scholar in ancient times. He was first in the Palace Examination and was talented. However, because of his bad image, he was eliminated and humiliated by the emperor. How sad!
However, Luo Qingzhou was not worried about his image.
Moreover, he was only taking the exam for the High Scholar now.
As long as he practiced his calligraphy and had a good knowledge of books, it was fine.
Because he practiced martial arts and cultivated his soul, when he wrote, he had an additional energy that scholars did not have.
Every word seemed to be infused with vitality. The words looked much more elegant and beautiful.
Just as he was practicing, he suddenly heard a faint creaking sound outside the courtyard. It sounded like feet stepping on snow.
However, it quickly stopped.
Did she come so early?
Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately packed his things and blew out the light. He half-closed the window and held his breath. He waited in the darkness, his gaze fixed on the door.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement outside.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before suddenly standing still. He calmed his mind and then forced his soul out of his body.
A black shadow suddenly flew out from above and passed through the window. It quietly floated into the air and looked out of the courtyard.
It was indeed her!
Outside the small courtyard, a delicate figure stood close to the courtyard door.
She was wearing a pink dress and holding a plum blossom in her hand. She was leaning against the door and secretly looking into the courtyard. Who else could it be but Bai Ling?
Luo Qingzhou had mixed feelings.
He did not look at her anymore. He fell from the roof and entered the room, returning his soul to his body.
He waited a little longer.
He quietly went out the back door and walked around before arriving at the front door.
Bai Ling was still leaning against the door. Her eyes were facing the crack of the door as she secretly looked inside.
Suddenly, her body stiffened. She felt that something was wrong and slowly turned her head to look behind her.
Luo Qingzhou stood silently behind her. Seeing her turn around, he said calmly, “Miss Bai Ling, what are you doing?”
Bai Ling froze for a moment and smiled awkwardly. She turned around and said, “Sir, I couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to come and chat with you. However, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn’t dare to knock.”
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes. “Just chatting?”
Bai Ling blinked her dark and lively eyes and said innocently, “Yes, we’re just chatting. Sir, what else do you think?”
Luo Qingzhou looked at her expressionlessly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Aren’t you here to sleep with
“Huh?” Xiao Die said.
When Bai Ling heard this, her eyes widened. She was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly crossed her arms and said with a frightened expression, “Sir, d-don’t be like this. I… I really only want to chat with you. I don’t want to be taken advantage of by you.”
Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a while more before suddenly approaching her and sticking his mouth out.
This time, he did not hug her or press her against the wall.
Bai Ling widened her eyes and was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously pouted and even stretched forward, as if she was prepared to receive his rough kiss.
However, Luo Qingzhou suddenly stopped and froze.
Bai Ling stared at him speechlessly.
It was suddenly very quiet.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Bai Ling hurriedly retracted her mouth and retreated. She leaned against the door behind her and blushed. She said shyly, “Sir… You, you’re so annoying. You can’t… You can’t do that to me again.
Although there’s no one here, I’ll still scream. Even if you cover my mouth with your mouth, I won’t give in. I’ll definitely resist to the end. I… Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingzhou suddenly slid his arm around her slender waist and pressed her against the door behind him. Then, he kissed her on the lips.
The entire world seemed to have fallen silent.
When Luo Qingzhou let go of her, she was already out of breath. Her eyes were blurry, and her entire body was limp. She could not stand anymore.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and stared at her beautiful face and watery eyes for a while. Suddenly, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Then he went back the way he came.
“Sir, what are you doing?”
Bai Ling did not struggle in his arms. She only blushed with fear and embarrassment. Her arms were still wrapped around his neck.
Luo Qingzhou carried her into the house from the backyard.
When he reached the door of the room, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and walking toward Xiao Die’s room.
Every time they slept in the same room, he would be drugged. Perhaps there was something strange about that room.
He decided to change rooms tonight.
“Sir, you can’t… You can’t do this to me…”
When Luo Qingzhou carried her into the room and placed her on Xiao Die’s bed, she panicked and started to struggle.
Luo Qingzhou pressed her hands on the top of her head and said, “Miss Bai Ling, do you still want to struggle at a time like this?”
Then, he said meaningfully, “I want to be awake tonight and take the initiative. Is that okay?”
Bai Ling widened her eyes and was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly blushed and shook her head. “No, no. Sir can’t treat me like this… Miss hasn’t agreed… hasn’t agreed to let me be your concubine-maidservant.”
Swoosh!
Luo Qingzhou undid the belt around her waist and took it out. Then, he tied her hands to the top of her head and said calmly, “It’s okay. We’ll act first and report later.”
“Sir, don’t! I’m afraid… I’m afraid of pain..
Bai Ling started crying, but there were no tears.
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and turned her over, letting her climb onto the bed. Then, he took off her coat from behind.
Even now, she was still crying pitifully or pretending to beg for mercy, but she did not resist.
Luo Qingzhou’s eyes were filled with confusion..
