Chapter 72: Mother-in-law’s Tsundere
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Qingzhou did not go back for lunch.
In the afternoon, he was already famished.
However, he still tried to endure the hunger pangs he felt.
It was not until evening when his naked body was drenched in sweat and his muscles were so sore that he could not move anymore, that he stopped.
The injuries on his body from the battle with the martial artist had not healed. However, after absorbing two drops of dark blue liquids yesterday and cultivating an internal cultivation method for two hours, he no longer felt any pain. Moreover, the injuries on the surface had already become very faint.
For martial artists, as long as it was not a fatal wound, they would recover very quickly.
Moreover, his internal cultivation technique was extraordinary. The dark blue liquid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror was even more extraordinary.
When he cultivated today, he did not feel much.
After washing up in the lake outside, he put on his clothes and returned to the small courtyard.
It had to be said that the liquid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror was very powerful.
The woman making love with him last night had done it three times, but he was still energetic and lively today.
His stomach was growling again.
Xiao Die had not returned yet.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and returned to his room. He took his spatial pouch and left the residence. He decided to buy some meat to eat.
Refining the flesh consumed a lot of stamina and energy. Every day, he needed a large amount of meat to replenish his energy. When tempering his muscles, he would need even more energy than now.
The book said that it was best if he ate the meat of a demon beast.
However, Luo Qingzhou did not have the conditions for that yet.
He decided to buy some beef first, then go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to take a look and buy some potions for refining the flesh to test the effect.
Although he had the liquid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror to cultivate, if those potions were useful, he might be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and have a faster effect.
As long as he could succeed quickly, he did not mind spending money.
In any case, after successfully refining the flesh, he could hunt demon beasts to earn money. At the same time, he could hone his actual combat techniques and accumulate experience.
If he wanted to become a true martial artist, he had to take this step.
After leaving the residence, the snowstorm outside became even stronger.
At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the streets.
He went straight to the market and bought a few large pieces of beef. He carried them to an empty alley and placed them in his spatial pouch.
Then, he threw the food and clothes left behind by the martial artist into the ditch.
Judging from the intact food, this spatial pouch seemed to have the function of preserving the food from deteriorating. Therefore, he bought a lot of beef this time.
Then, he went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
After asking for the price of the potions, Luo Qingzhou bought two bottles of potions without hesitation and spent nearly 200 gold coins.
After returning home, he did not immediately use the potions.
After eating with Xiao Die, he went to the lake to take a shower.
After returning, Luo Qingzhou changed his clothes and prepared to pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin.
At the same time, he wanted to take a look at the marks he had left on someone’s mouth and neck.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Mei’er, the personal maidservant of his mother-in-law, suddenly rushed over and said, “Madam wants you to go over, Sir.”
“Madam?”
Luo Qingzhou’s heart was pounding.
That mother-in-law suddenlv wanted to meet him. Could it be that she wanted to settle scores with him because he touched Second Young Miss Qin’s hand last night? “Why is she looking for me?”
He asked.
Mei’er said with an expressionless face, “You’ll know when you go, Sir.”
Luo Qingzhou paused and did not say anything else. He followed her out.
After walking for a while, he suddenly said, “Miss Mei’er, can I say a few words to Second Young Miss?”
Mei’er said coldly, “There’s no need. Second Young Miss is with Madam.”
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
With Second Young Miss around, there should be no problem.
Second Young Miss should have already explained what happened last night.
“Sir, you’re really bold.”
After walking for a while, Mei’er suddenly said.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and asked, “What do you say that?”
Mei’er snorted coldly and suddenly said something that shocked him. “Second Young Miss’s lips are bruised. Zhu’er told Madam that it was you who did it! When you see Madam, you’d better tell her the truth and not try to argue your way out of it!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Qingzhou’s mind buzzed. He immediately froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
“That’s not right.”
He thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion.
It could not be Second Young Miss!
Anyone could be the person who had relations with him, but it was definitely not Second Young Miss! It could even be Second Brother… Bah! No, not him. It could possibly be First Young Miss, Qiu’er, Zhu’er, Xiao Tao, or even the least possible Xia Chan, but it could not be Second Young Miss.
Because the girl’s weak physique did not allow it.
Moreover, with the other party’s personality, it was impossible for her to do such a thing.
Luo Qingzhou brought himself back to reality and did not ask further. He followed the maidservant through the long corridor to the backyard of the residence.
He would know what was going on once he got there. Soon, Mei’er brought him to Song Ruyue’s courtyard.
In the hall.
The lights were brightly lit and the fireplace was heated up.
Song Ruyue was half-lying on the armchair in a languid posture. As she spoke, she swayed her feet and smiled like a young girl.
However, after Luo Qingzhou entered the house, she immediately sat up straight again, crossed her legs, and put down her arms. The smile on her face instantly disappeared, and she became serious and dignified as she looked at him coldly.
Qin Weimo sat at the side, still wrapped in a thick fox fur coat.
As soon as Luo Qingzhou entered the house, he stared at the girl’s lips. Seeing that there were no obvious bite marks, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Madam, Second Young Miss.”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands respectfully.
Qin Weimo smiled gently at him.
However, Song Ruyue said with a straight face, “Luo Qingzhou, do you know why I asked you to come here today?”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and looked straight ahead. “No.”
Song Ruyue snorted and started to reprimand him. “I heard from Zhu’er and the others that you’ve been avoiding Weimo on purpose recently, right? Why do you think Weimo is looking for you? Don’t you think that you’re overthinking things? She’s only going to ask about poetry and discuss literature with you. Why are you putting on airs? How dare you avoid her! Also, when Weimo went to look for you last night, what did you do to her? She didn’t sleep last night and secretly cried on the bed. She was afraid that the maidservants would hear her, so she had to bite her lips to make sure that they wouldn’t hear her. What kind of brother-in-law are you?”
Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.
Qin Weimo hurriedly said gently, “Mother, didn’t you promise me not to reprimand Brother-in-law just now? I’ve already explained that it has nothing to do with Brother-in-law. It’s me…’
Song Ruyue cut in, “All right, stop defending him. I’m merely warning him, how is this considered reprimanding? Anyway, so what if I reprimand him? Isn’t it right for a mother-in-law to reprimand her son-in-law?”
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and continued to reprimand him. “You’ve been hiding in your room and studying all day. If you don’t want visitors, how are you going to interact with others in the future? The day before yesterday, you went out of the city to visit your mother’s grave, but you didn’t even inform us in advance. On top of that, you didn’t even come home at night. Do you even respect us? Also, if I don’t tell you, you won’t even take the initiative to come over and pay your respects to me, right? Haven’t I treated you well enough? Look at how other mothers-in-law mistreat their sons-in-law. Place your hand over your heart and ask your conscience. Tell me, have I ever mistreated you?”
She rambled on and on.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and listened respectfully without saying a word.
Qin Weimo sat at the side with a helpless expression.
After a while.
Song Ruyue’s mouth was finally dry from talking. She picked up the teacup and took a sip before stopping. She ordered coldly, “From today onward, come over every night to pay your respects to me. Every three days, you have to teach
Weimo how to read, write, and chat with her. Can you do that?”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands. He said respectfully,
“Yes, I will follow your order.”
I will do as Song Ruyue rolled her eyes. “What order? Whose order? Why? Do you resent me after I’ve scolded you? Why didn’t you address me?”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, “Madam, I will follow your order.”
Song Ruyue said angrily, “What did you call me?”
Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.
Qin Weimo hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, “Brother-in-law, you should address her as ‘Mother-in-law’…”
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said respectfully, “Mother-in-law, I will follow your order.”
“Hmph!”
Song Ruyue raised her chin and turned her face away. She was so angry that she did not say anything.
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and heard what she was thinking, “This brat. He doesn’t even know how to praise me when we meet. What a waste of talent! I’m wearing new clothes and have even put on new cosmetics. Even Weimo and the servants know how to praise me, but he doesn’t know. Damn it!”
The corners of Luo Qingzhou’s mouth twitched. He was in a difficult position, not knowing if he should continue standing there or leave. He could only force himself to be more thick-skinned and lower his head respectfully.
“Mother-in-law, you look different today. When I see you like this, I can’t help but recall a sentence that I’ve read from a book,” he said.
Song Ruyue turned her face away and side-eyed him. She snorted coldly and said, “What sentence? Just say it! Don’t keep me in suspense!”
Qin Weimo also listened attentively.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and read, “It’s shaped like a graceful dragon. It’s beautiful like the autumn chrysanthemums, beautiful like the spring pines. It’s like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning to the snow… Looking from afar, it’s as bright as the sun rising into the morning sky. When it’s forced to look at it, it burns like a hibiscus blooming…’
When Qin Weimo heard that, her eyes lit up. She said in surprise, “Brother-in-law, which book did you read this from?”
Luo Qingzhou said, “I forgot…”
Qin Weimo was speechless.
Luo Qingzhou’s eyes met hers, and he heard what the girl said mentally, “Brother-in-law must be the one who composed this. His talent is indescribable… It’s beneath him to marry into the Qin family… ”
“Hmph! You are such a bootlicker!”
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes again with a look of disdain. She picked up her teacup and took a sip. Following that, she waved her hand and said coldly, “You may leave. Remember what I said today. If you dare to disobey the rules again,
you will be punished!”
Luo Qingzhou took his leave respectfully.
Just as he walked out of the hall, Song Ruyue put down the teacup in her hand and hurriedly said to the maidservant beside her, “Go! Hurry up and bring me the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!”
Then, she looked at her daughter and asked, “Weimo, did you remember what that kid just read?”
Qin Weimo was slightly stunned and nodded. “Yes, I’ve noted it down, Mother…”
“Write it down! I want to frame it. When the time comes, I’ll show it to your Aunt Zhang and the others! Hmph, let them die of envy and jealousy!”
Qin Weimo was speechless..
