The moonlight was bright.

In the corner of the lake, water splashed everywhere.

Xiao Die covered her mouth and exclaimed with her eyes wide open.

Luo Qingzhou actually caught a fish underwater.

The lake water was warm all year round, and the bottom of the lake was even a little hot. This fish was actually alive and kicking. It struggled with all its might in his hand. It was quite strong.

The fish scales were light blue and shone brightly under the moonlight.

The fish was about a foot long and looked rather plump.

Luo Qingzhou observed carefully and looked at the lush lotus flowers surrounding the pavilion in the middle of the lake. He became even more puzzled.

Not only were the lotus peanuts lush, but there were also fish growing. It was really strange.

“Young Master, this fish is so beautiful. Do the Qin family feed them?”

Xiao Die was curious.

Luo Qingzhou shrugged. “Who knows?”

As he spoke, he was about to let the fish go. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and threw it back onto the shore.

Xiao Die asked in surprise, “Young Master, why did you throw it onto the shore?”

Luo Qingzhou finished up with his bath and replied, “I haven’t eaten my fill during dinner earlier. I’m a little hungry now, let’s roast this fish for supper later.”

“Huh?” Xiao Die said.

“What? Hurry up and wash up. We’re leaving.”

“Oh, okay.”

After washing up, the two of them went ashore and put on their clothes. They took the fish and returned to the small courtyard.

Luo Qingzhou placed the fish in the basin in the kitchen, washed his hands, and returned to his room to change into clean clothes. He came out and said, “Xiao Die, do you know how to kill a fish?”

Xiao Die said with a bitter expression, “Young Master, I-I don’t dare to do that..

“Wait for me to return.

Luo Qingzhou prepared to go out and pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin.

Xiao Die hurriedly followed him to the door and reminded him, “Young Master, remember to ask Bai Ling.”

Before Luo Qingzhou could reply, she looked out of the door and whispered, “Young Master, since she said that, it means… It means that Miss wants to sleep with you. You must take the initiative to say it.”

Luo Qingzhou’s expression changed and he could not help but take another look at her. “Xiao Die, you go out to learn from those maidservants every day. They should have taught you more than just musical instruments and needlework, right?”

Xiao Die’s face turned red, she lowered her head and said shyly, “Yeah…”

However, she was too embarrassed to speak further.

Luo Qingzhou heard the words in her heart. “I even learned how to serve Young Master… After all, I am his concubine-maidservant. Xiao Tao taught me many embarrassing things…”

Luo Qingzhou was speechless.

“Don’t learn anyhow from others. Learn something useful. If you really can’t reject them, just say that you’re still young and can learn it in the future.” With that, Luo Qingzhou left.

Xiao Die raised her head and looked at his gradually disappearing back view.

She pouted and muttered aggrievedly, “I’m not young anymore.”

Then, she lowered her head to look at her chest and sighed slightly. “It’s indeed a little small. I wonder if the things Xiao Tao mentioned are useful…”

On the way, Luo Qingzhou thought about his visit out of the city tomorrow.

Normally, when a man got married, if his mother passed away and he wanted to pray to her, he should bring his new wife along.

This was a form of respect for his mother and comforted her spirit in heaven.

However, Luo Qingzhou was a matrilocal son-in-law and married into his wife’s family.

With her status and personality, it was impossible for Qin Jianjia to go with him.

Besides, Luo Qingzhou did not care.

The two of them had already made it clear that they would maintain a superficial relationship for the time being.

They would not interfere with what the other party did.

He and Xiao Die were blessed to be able to have a place to stay and live worry-free. He could also get the protection of the Qin family and focus on cultivating.

Besides, the people in the Qin residence were really nice.

As he thought along the way, he soon arrived at First Young Miss Qin’s courtyard.

The courtyard door was open, and the moonlight shone down.

Bai Ling was wearing a pink dress and holding a flower that she had just picked. She was leaning against the door and looking at him with a smile like a fairy under the moon.

This delicate girl in pink smiled sweetly. She waved the pink flower in her hand and said, “Am I prettier, or is this flower prettier? If you answer wrongly, don’t even think about entering.”

Luo Qingzhou said directly, “The flower is more beautiful.”

Then, he cupped his hands. “Since Miss Bai Ling doesn’t want to let me in, I’ll take my leave.”

Bai Ling stared at him speechlessly.

Luo Qingzhou pretended to leave.

Bai Ling quickly stood straight and stomped her feet. “Sir! How annoying! I’m going to call Chanchan!”

Luo Qingzhou merely looked at her without saying anything.

Bai Ling pouted and looked at him with an aggrieved expression. “I’m heartbroken that you’re treating me like this. I remember that a few days ago, you even said that you liked me and wanted me to be your concubine-maidservant. What changed? Why did you stop liking me in just a matter of days?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her calmly. “It’s not that I stopped liking you. I only feel that there’s no point in persisting in things that I won’t be able to get.”

Bai Ling immediately looked aggrieved. “Sir, you’re so impatient. Didn’t I tell you? I can only be your concubine-maidservant if Miss agrees. You can go and beg her.”

Luo Qingzhou was hungry. He thought about the fish in the room and did not want to pretend to be polite to her anymore. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss Bai Ling, can I go in now?”

Bai Ling’s face was filled with resentment. She snorted and moved aside. “Go on in. Miss is reading in the back garden.”

When Luo Qingzhou passed by her, he suddenly smelled the familiar fragrance of a young girl. His heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Bai Ling blinked at him. “Sir, what’s wrong?”

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before approaching her. He lowered his head and his nose was almost pressed against her beautiful face. He sniffed the fragrance again.

Bai Ling was so frightened that she leaned her head back and pressed her back against the door. Her full bosom was raised high, almost touching his chest.

She was bashful and anxious. “Sir, w-what are you doing? Don’t be like this…

I’m very shy.”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her pretty face from a close distance.

She had put on a fake bashful expression. However, her face was still fair. There was no sign of redness at all.

Luo Qingzhou watched her and sniffed. He did not say anything or move aside.

Bai Ling bent backward and looked up at him. She blinked and her thick eyelashes fluttered. She was pitifully pressed against the wall.

At first, she was pretending to be shy. However, he was staring at her at such a close distance she could feel his breath on her face. In the end, a crimson blush came over her face. Bai Ling’s heart raced, and her chest heaved slightly.

“D-don’t be like this, Sir. I-I am really shy…”

She begged for mercy in a soft voice. Her pretty face was pink and red, and her long eyelashes fluttered shyly. The young man’s handsome but unfathomable face was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

“I had answered wrongly earlier.”

Luo Qingzhou finally moved aside and looked at her deeply. Then, he turned around and entered the small courtyard, walking toward the back garden.

Bai Ling was in a daze. She still maintained the posture of being pressed against the wall. She was stunned for a moment before she snapped back to reality and hurriedly chased after him.

She caught up with Luo Qingzhou outside the round door in the back garden.

The blush on her face had yet to fade. She followed behind him and asked in a low voice, “Sir, what did you answer wrongly just now?”

Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her beautiful and sweet face. His voice was surprisingly gentle. “Actually, Miss Bai Ling, you’re much prettier than the flower.”

With that, he entered the round door.

Bai Ling stood rooted to the ground, still holding the flower in her hand. She looked at his thin and tall back. His gentle words echoed in her ears. The way he looked at her just now appeared in her mind. She was in a daze.

But soon, the sound of sword practice in the garden snapped her out of her daze.

“That stupid Sir, he really knows how to flirt. He’s such a scoundrel!” she cursed.

Bai Ling stomped her feet and followed him in..
