Chapter 52 - 52: Young and Beautiful Woman 1
Luo Qingzhou returned to bed.
Xiao Die heard the sound and ran out to open the courtyard door.
Qin Weimo was a little embarrassed and did not know what to say.
Qiu’er was more familiar with Xiao Die. She pulled her into the small courtyard and said in a low voice, “Is Sir awake? Miss Su especially came over and said that she wanted to see him.”
Xiao Die looked back and said awkwardly, “But Young Master is already resting.”
Qiu’er poked her with her finger and said in a low voice, “Sir didn’t go tonight. Madam is already angry. Go in and take a look. If he’s feeling better, it’s best if he can get up and see Miss Su. After all, she’s an esteemed guest. My Miss is in a difficult position.”
Xiao Die said helplessly, “All right, I’ll go in and take a look.”
Su Qingwan entered the small courtyard and looked around. She could not help but say, “Weimo, your brother-in-law lives here with this maidservant? Your elder sister…’
Qin Weimo sighed slightly. “Elder Sister’s health isn’t too good, so the two of them don’t live together.”
When Su Qingvvan heard this, she smiled faintly. “I’m afraid it’s not because she’s not in good health, right? This man married into the family and is an illegitimate son without a proper status. That’s why he’s being treated like that, right?”
Then, she said, “Weimo, I’m a straightforward person, so don’t take my words to heart. I feel that since the two of them are already married, there shouldn’t be so many rules. If a husband and wife don’t live together, what kind of husband and wife are they? Your brother-in-law is so talented and hardworking. He will definitely make a name for himself in the future. It’s not good for you guys to treat him like this.”
Qin Weimo lowered her head slightly and did not speak.
Su Qingwan glanced at her. She could not help but sigh. “I also know that your elder sister’s situation is special. It might be unsuitable for them to live together. Weimo, pretend that I didn’t say that. Don’t think too much about it. I know what kind of person you are. You must feel terrible too. Sigh, there are too many rules in this world, especially for a big family like yours. If you don’t follow certain rules, people will gossip about you. There’s nothing we can do.”
At this moment, Xiao Die quickly walked out of the house and said respectfully,
“Second Young Miss, Miss Su, my young master is awake.”
Su Qingwan’s eyes lit up. She immediately walked to the window and bowed slightly. “Young Master Luo, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night. It’s just that the poems you wrote made my heart itch. Tonight, I heard that Aunt was coming to the Qin residence and tagged along because I want to visit you.”
Qin Weimo also walked forward. Her voice was gentle and her face was filled with concern. “Brother-in-law, are you feeling any better?”
Luo Qingzhou got up from the bed and put on his clothes. He replied, “I’m much better. Thank you for your concern, Second Young Miss.”
The reason why he did not pretend to be asleep was firstly because he did not want to make things difficult for Second Young Miss Qin. Secondly, after hearing Miss Su’s words, he felt that she was a good person and there should be no issues with greeting her.
The window was closed.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and his shadow was reflected in the window. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss Su, I’m not feeling well tonight, so I won’t go out to meet you.”
There were some rules that he had to abide by.
Here, he was the son-in-law, not the Young Master.
Su Qingwan said apologetically, “Young Master Luo, you’re not feeling well. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come over to disturb you. However, I admire your poems. I came here tonight to ask you for guidance. Since you’re already awake, you probably won’t be able to sleep for a while. I’ll talk to you outside the house. I hope you won’t be stingy with your guidance.”
The room was silent for a moment before Luo Qingzhou said, “Miss Su, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t compose those poems.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone outside the house was stunned.
Su Qingwan looked surprised. “Young Master Luo, why do you say that? If those poems weren’t written by you, who did?”
Luo Qingzhou said, “I only saw it in a book and remembered it. As for who did it, I don’t remember.”
“Then can you tell me which book you saw it in?”
Su Qingwan looked at the tall figure in the window and asked.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “I forgot.”
There was silence outside the house.
Su Qingwan smiled bitterly and said, “Young Master, there’s no need to be like this. I know that you have a special identity now and don’t want to become famous too early. You just want to study hard and bide your time. That way, when you attend the Imperial Examination in the future, you’ll achieve instant fame. I didn’t come here today for any other reason. I just admire your talent very much and want to meet you and say something. I can guarantee that I won’t tell anyone about what happened tonight.”
The room fell silent.
Su Qingwan looked at the shadow on the window and said softly, “Since it’s inconvenient for you to speak, can you do me a favor?”
There was a moment of silence in the room before Luo Qingzhou said, “I’m all ears.”
Su Qingwan said, “In a few days, the Mandarin Duck Restaurant will hold a poetry gathering. The topic has been released. I thought hard and composed two poems, but I’m still not satisfied. Can you help me compose a poem so that I can read it during the poetry gathering? Can you give me some pointers?”
The person in the room sighed and said, “Miss Su, I’m not lying to you. I’m not good at poetry.”
Su Qingwan lowered her head slightly and said, “Young Master Luo, I can guarantee that I won’t mention you to anyone. If you’re willing to help, I’ll be extremely grateful. If you need my help in the future, I won’t refuse.”
Luo Qingzhou continued, “I’m sorry, Miss Su. I really don’t know how to compose poetry. Besides, I’m not feeling well tonight. Please leave..”
