Chapter 155: She Has Fainted

In the evening.

Qin Weimo had already finished three paintings.

Luo Qingzhou was grinding ink at the side. He watched seriously as she waved her hand. With just a few strokes, she outlined the character’s scenery vividly. He could not help but praise her in his heart.

Second Young Miss Qin was indeed multi-talented.

After Qin Weimo finished applying the last stroke, she put down the brush and looked up at him with a smile. “Brother-in-law, are you secretly thinking, ‘Second Young Miss is indeed multi-talented.’?” Luo Qingzhou was rendered speechless.

“She can listen to others’ thoughts too?’ he wondered.

Qin Weimo covered her mouth and chuckled. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and her expression was charming.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and gently opened the window to take a look outside.

The snowstorm continued.

A chill assaulted him.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly closed the door and turned around. “Second Young Miss, it’s getting dark. I’ll leave now. If you still need poems, you can get Qiu’er to look for me.’

At the door, Zhu’er could not help but say, “Sir, can’t I go instead of her?”

Qiu’er covered her mouth and giggled.

Luo Qingzhou could only say, “I heard that Qiu’er knows how to read and write,

and she has good handwriting. If I compose a poem, can you write it down,

Miss Zhu’er?”

Zhu’er stared at him unhappily.

Qiu’er smiled even more brightly.

“Second Young Miss, I’ll leave first. Have a good rest. Remember to eat dinner tonight. ”

Luo Qingzhou did not stay any longer. He cupped his hands and bade farewell.

Qin Weimo stood up but did not speak.

Luo Qingzhou left the study. Qiu’er had a shy smile on her face as she eagerly helped him get his shoes. She bent down to help him put them on.

Zhu’er pouted and sulked at the side.

Luo Qingzhou put on his shoes and thanked her. “Thank you, Miss Qiu’er.”

Qiu’er smiled and retreated to the side, a faint blush on her face.

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the living room and heard Zhu’er mutter softly behind him, “It’s just a casual compliment. Look at how happy you are. If he calls you to serve him in bed, won’t you faint from joy? You… Uh…’

Qiu’er blushed and hurriedly covered Zhu’er mouth. She looked at the door shyly.

Luo Qingzhou pretended not to hear her and walked out of the corridor into the courtyard.

In the study.

The window was gently pushed open.

The girl was dressed in a plain white dress. She stood quietly in front of the window and watched him leave. She was silent, her eyes downcast.

“Cough… Cough..

She suddenly started coughing again.

When Zhu’er and Qiu’er—who were at the door—heard this, they hurriedly entered the room.

When Luo Qingzhou returned to the small courtyard, Xiao Die had also just returned.

When the little girl went to the kitchen to bring dinner, Luo Qingzhou entered the room and took off his clothes. He lifted his shirt and looked at the wound on his chest.

The swelling had already subsided, and the purple color had faded.

However, there was still some pain when he touched it.

He decided to take revenge on that girl when he went to pay respects to First Young Miss Qin later.

Give her a taste of her own medicine!

It was not as if he hadn’t touched it before.

Xiao Die quickly returned with a sumptuous dinner.

Not only was there beef for dinner today, but there was also fish.

There was even a bowl of bone soup. There seemed to be traditional medicine

in the soup.

Xiao Die panted as she carried the tray back and placed it on the table in the living room. She said excitedly, “Young Master, there are so many dishes tonight. The kitchen said that there will be this many dishes every night in the future. Young Master, you can eat as much as you want. If it’s not enough, I can bring more next time.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at the table full of dishes and asked curiously, “Did you ask what happened?”

Xiao Die said, “I asked, but the kitchen didn’t say anything. It’s really strange. Previously, when I took a few more pieces of meat, they would already be complaining. Now, they actually took the initiative to let me take more vegetables.”

Luo Qingzhou thought to himself, “Second Young Miss must have known that I am practicing martial arts, so she secretly got someone to instruct the kitchen. ”

He sighed inwardly, not knowing how to repay Second Young Miss Qin.

It seemed that he could only spend more time with that girl in the future and tell her more stories to make her happy.

“Xiao Die, sit down and eat with me.”

“No, Young Master, I…”

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Luo Qingzhou grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. “There are no outsiders here. Sit on my lap and eat.”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of beef for her and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Young Master…”

The little girl was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her mouth and ate the beef as she mumbled, “I… I’ll definitely grow up quickly and serve you well…”

Luo Qingzhou picked up another piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Oh… Young Master… There’s too much… It can’t fit anymore…”

“Swallow it. ”

The little girl’s face turned red as she swallowed it with all her might.

After Luo Qingzhou fed her, he quickly finished the entire tray of food.

After dinner.

The two of them took their clothes and went to the lake to take a bath.

When the little girl was scrubbing him, she accidentally rubbed that spot. He immediately grimaced in pain.

The little girl thought that he was comfortable, so she exerted more strength.

After taking a shower, they returned to the back of the house.

Luo Qingzhou changed into clean clothes and left.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he saw Bai Ling and Xia Chan standing on both sides. Seeing that he had arrived, they turned and stared at him.

“Miss is not around today, Sir, so you don’t have to go in to pay your respects.” Bai Ling said.

Seeing her solemn expression, Luo Qingzhou asked, “Did something happen?”

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, “Second Young Miss just fainted. Miss just went over. I don’t know when she’ll return.”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her in shock. “I just came back from Second Young Miss’ place in the evening. Why did she suddenly faint?”

Xia Chan stared at him intently.

Bai Ling sighed and replied, “Second Young Miss often coughs blood and faints. It’s been many times, but recently…”

Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Bai Ling hurriedly said, “Sir, it’s not convenient for you to go now. Many people in the residence have gone over to Second Young Miss’ place. You probably won’t be able to enter even if you go. Moreover, Young Miss has already gone, so there’s no need for you to go anymore. You can go tomorrow during the day.”

Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks, his heart filled with worry.

The girl was already so weak that it made one’s heart ache. Her face was always so pale, and she panted after taking a few steps. Now that she had vomited blood and even fainted, he wondered…

However, when he was with her in the afternoon, she was still fine. She even joked with him and drew three paintings.

At that time, although she was pale, her body looked fine and she did not cough at all.

Why was it that at night..

Last night, he seemed to have heard from his mother-in-law that Qin Weimo would cough violently every night.

However, when he slept with her last night, she did not cough at all.

Could it be that when she was nervous or happy, she would not cough?

Luo Qingzhou’s thoughts ran wild, but he felt helpless.

The Qin family was so rich but they had not been able to cure the girl for so many years. What could he do?

“Before Young Miss left, she instructed me that should you come over, I have to tell you to go back and sleep early. Don’t go anywhere.”

Bai Ling said as she looked at him.

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before nodding. “It’s indeed not suitable for me to go now. I’ll go back then.”

“Sir. ”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Bai Ling called out again.

However, when he looked at her, the girl opened her mouth again, wanting to say something but hesitated.

“Bai Ling, if there’s anything, just say it.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her, paused, and added, “I’m not an outsider.”

Xia Chan stood at the side, looking at him quietly.

Bai Ling hesitated for a while before saying, “It’s nothing. Go back and rest, Sir. You don’t have to worry about Second Young Miss. Miss is there.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and turned to leave without saying anything else.

The two girls watched as he quickly disappeared into the snow in the distance.

After a long silence, Bai Ling sighed and said in a low voice, “If I tell Sir what Young Miss plans to do, I reckon… he will feel insulted and might feel humiliated and angry. He might just get up and leave the residence.”

Xia Chan stood there motionlessly, silently looking at the place where the figure disappeared.

Bai Ling looked at her and said softly, “If Sir really leaves and ends up on the streets, Chanchan, what will you do?”

Xia Chan still did not respond. She stood there silently for a while before turning around and entering the house.

She returned to her room.

She closed the door and took out the money bag from the innermost part of the wardrobe. She looked at the window for a long time before muttering softly,

“Give it all to him… He… He won’t starve…’

Outside the window, the cold wind howled and snowflakes fluttered.

Xia Chan thought of countless cold nights when she was alone on the streets. She was hungry and cold. She walked in the night in a daze. There seemed to be no end to it…

She was afraid of the night, the cold, the thunder, and many other things…

However, she was most afraid of hunger.

Therefore, she had to save money for him.

She could live without him, but she could not allow him to starve outside…

Luo Qingzhou returned to his courtyard.

When Xiao Die heard him returning, she hurriedly ran out of the room and said in surprise, “Young Master, why are you back so early today?”

Luo Qingzhou was worried about the Second Young Miss Qin. He said, “First Young Miss isn’t around, so I only spoke to Bai Ling for a while before coming back. I’ll let you get back to your work. You will have to sleep in your room tonight. I might have to cultivate.”

Xiao Die nodded and said, “Young Master, don’t tire yourself out. Remember to rest.”

With that, she obediently returned to her room.

Ever since she found out that Young Master was secretly cultivating, she dared not disturb him at night unless he told her to enter the room or took the initiative and asked her to sleep with him.

Luo Qingzhou closed the door and sat on the bed for a while. Then, he calmed down and focused. His soul left his body.

He did not cultivate the Thunder Fist in his room today.

His soul floated up to the roof, went through it, and flew into the air.

Looking over from midair, Second Young Miss Qin’s residence was fiery red. There should be many people gathered there.

He did not dare to approach her. With a heavy heart, he floated out of the Qin residence and prepared to float toward the Mandarin Duck Restaurant.

That soul senior suddenly appeared in his dream, asking him to wait at the Mandarin Duck Restaurant at midnight tonight. He wondered what kind of urgent matter it was.

Tonight, he decided to ask that soul senior if a person who had Second Young Miss Qin’s symptoms could be saved.

Perhaps that senior was knowledgeable and could save her.

If the other party really had a way to save Second Young Miss Qin, he would do his best to agree to her request.

He pondered over things.

Just as he floated to the alley at the back door of the Qin residence, he suddenly saw a figure sneakily open the back door, look around, and walk out.

Then, that figure quickly walked out of the alley.

Judging from the attire, she should be a maidservant.

At this moment, everyone in the Qin residence was gathered at Second Young Miss’ place. Why did she go out?

Even if she was going to look for other physicians to get medicine, she need not behave in such a sneaky manner.

Luo Qingzhou was suspicious. He immediately floated down and silently followed behind her..
