Whoosh…

A cold wind gusted through the courtyard, stirring up snowflakes.

At night, the snowstorm became even worse, turning into a veritable blizzard.

The girl gently pushed open the window. She trembled when the cold air hit her frail body.

The winter plums under the eaves had all withered.

The floor of the room was covered with a thick velvet carpet, and there was a warm stove on the ground. The girl was dressed in plain white clothes and was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat, but she still felt cold.

Her body was cold, and so was her heart. “Young Miss, the wind is strong. Why don’t I close the window?”

Qiu’er stood outside the window and frowned.

The girl stood in front of the window for a while more before nodding. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly looked at the door outside the courtyard.

A familiar figure appeared there.

The girl was slightly stunned. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and immediately raised her hand to close the window.

Outside.

Luo Qingzhou stepped on the bluestone slab that was soaked in snow and entered the courtyard. When he saw Qiu’er standing in the corridor, he asked softly, “Is Second Young Miss resting?”

Qiu’er smiled and walked to the door. “Not yet. Miss is reading in the study. Come on in, Sir.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the window and said, “There’s no need. I’ll just stand outside the window and say a few words.”

Qiu’er stopped at the door and said, “Miss is reading on the couch. She’s not feeling well today and it’s not convenient for her to leave the couch. The window can’t be opened either as the cold wind will blow in.”

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, “All right, in that case, I’ll stand at the entrance to the study and talk to Second Young Miss there.” As he spoke, he walked in.

Qiu’er burst out laughing and quickly covered her mouth. “Zhu’er is not around tonight, Sir. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I’m not afraid. That’s how things should be like.”

A brother-in-law coming to look for his sister-in-law in the middle of the night was already suspicious. If he did not know the rules and entered the room alone, how would he explain himself if anyone found out?

Qiu’er’s smile faded slightly. She glanced at him again before she entered the house. She went over to open the door and said in a low voice, “Sir, I’ll go heat the porridge. Miss hasn’t eaten tonight.”

Luo Qingzhou nodded.

Qiu’er walked out of the house and went to the kitchen.

Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study and looked inside.

In the room, the lamps were lit. A frail-looking girl in snow-white clothes was sitting quietly on the soft couch. She was holding a book in her hand and looking at him with a smile.

“Brother-in-law, if you don’t come in, I won’t talk to you.”

After saying that, the girl retracted her gaze and lowered her head to flip through the book. There was a playful smile on her lips.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and said, “Second Young Miss, I have something to ask you. I’ll leave after that.”

The girl continued to flip through her book, ignoring him.

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before he cupped his hands and said,

“Then, Second Young Miss, rest early. I’ll take my leave.”

The girl suddenly looked up at him and said with a trembling voice,

“Brother-in-law…”

Luo Qingzhou stopped walking and met her gaze. He lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Second Young Miss, it’s already late. I still have to pay my respects to Madam later, so I want to say a few words to you at the door before leaving. Actually, it’s not anything important. It doesn’t matter if I say it or not.

Just as he finished speaking, Zhu’er’s cold voice suddenly came from the door. “Sir, you don’t have to go to Madam’s place tonight. You don’t have to go for the time being. Madam has been busy recently.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her.

Zhu’er continued, “Madam also asked me to remind you to accompany Miss and be a qualified brother-in-law.”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her in speechless silence.

When she said “qualified”, what did she mean? How should he behave so that he was qualified?

Should he keep his distance from the Second Young Miss and abide by the rules? Or… should he obey his sister-in-law’s every request?

At the very least, she had to give him a standard, right?

“Sir, go on in. I won’t tattle to Madam. Madam has been very busy recently. We are going to attend the Grand Princess’s celebration banquet in a few days and Madam is troubled about what kind of gift she should prepare for the Grand Princess. She will not bother about you for the time being, so you don’t have to be afraid.

Zhu’er said expressionlessly.

Luo Qingzhou asked curiously, “We are going to attend the Grand Princess’s celebration banquet too?”

Zhu’er said, “Old Master and Madam will have to go. As for you, you’re probably

not…”

“Zhu’er.”

In the study, Qin Weimo called out softly.

Zhu’er immediately said, “Young Miss, I’ll go to the kitchen to help Qiu’er heat the porridge. You can talk to Sir. I won’t stay here and bug people anymore.” With that, she turned around and headed for the kitchen.

In the beginning, when Sir found out that she was Madam’s little “spy”, she still felt a little nervous and ashamed. However, she slowly got used to it.

She did not do anything bad and did not spout nonsense.

She told Madam the truth and was loyal to her Miss. She was not afraid that Sir would hate her.

When she entered the kitchen, Qiu’er looked at her and whispered, “Don’t speak to Sir like that in the future, let alone bring up the fact that he married into the family. Sir will be sad, and Miss will be unhappy.”

Zhu’er pouted and said, “Qiu’er, even you are helping Sir? I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m just telling the truth.”

Qiu’er said softly, “Don’t tell the truth about everything, especially when it’s words that will hurt others. Didn’t Young Miss usually tell us that before you speak or do anything, you have to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? If it’s going to hurt others, it’s best not to say or do it. You must learn to tell white lies, do you understand?”

Zhu’er suddenly looked at her strangely and said, “Qiu’er, tell me honestly, have you fallen for Sir? Do you want to be Sir’s concubine?”
