"Not going?"

Song Ruyue was stunned when she heard this and said, "Didn't you just say you were going?"

Luo Qingzhou paused, turned around, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Mother-in-law, I just lied to her."

Song Ruyue: "???"

Luo Qingzhou raised his head, looked at her, and said calmly: "I have an exam tomorrow, so no matter what happens today, I won't go out. For me, the exam is the most important thing. As for

She and her daughter are the affairs of the Chengguo Mansion and have nothing to do with me."

When Song Ruyue heard this, she looked at him in surprise.

Qin Wenzheng on the side frowned slightly.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Qingzhou will go back to study first. If she comes again, just ignore her. That eldest lady wants to disturb my mood, and even wants to trick me into harming me.

I will never go out."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

After leaving the door, he glanced at the maids and grandmothers standing next to him in the corridor, and left quickly.

Xia Chan walked out from under the big tree in the courtyard, holding the sword and followed behind him.

In the hall, it became quiet.

Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue looked at each other in confusion.

"Master, Wei Mo seems to have misjudged that boy."

Song Ruyue frowned slightly.

Qin Wenzheng sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup and said: "It's human nature. That kid has been studying for so many years just for tomorrow's exam. If he passes the exam, he will not only bring honor to his deceased mother, but also

He also earned his own identity and future, which is also good for our Qin family. So, if it were you, would you be willing to take risks for two outsiders? "

Song Ruyue said: "But Master, you just said clearly that that boy values ​​love and justice and knows how to repay kindness. You also said that the mother and daughter in Chengguo Mansion were very good to him."

Qin Wenzheng took a sip of tea, looked at him and said, "Maybe in his heart, the mother and daughter are not as important as we thought. Even if they are important, they are not as important as his future."

Song Ruyue curled her lips and said no more.

After a while, she snorted coldly and said, "I'm going to find Wei Mo."

After saying that, he went out the door.

The maids and mothers in the corridor immediately followed behind.

Qin Wenzheng watched their figures walking away quickly, took a few more sips of tea, and then said to the outside: "Zhou Tong."

Butler Zhou walked in immediately, bent down and said respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

Qin Wenzheng's eyes flashed and he said, "In the past few months, have our Qin Mansion bought any new maids and old ladies?"

After hearing this, Butler Zhou thought for a while and said: "No. Didn't the master say it last time? We will move out after the second master's exam. There are already enough maids and servants in the house, and the servants are already slowing down."

If you quit your job, how can you buy it again?"

Qin Wenzheng pondered for a moment and said: "It's enough to keep a dozen or so. Resign the others. Our Qin family is no longer a distinguished family. When we go to Kyoto in the future, we will have to live with our tail between our legs. We can't raise such people."

There are many people. Remember, those servants who leave must be given more money and must not be stingy. If anyone still wants to continue working, they can be sent to the second master and fourth master. In this Mo City, our Qin family is still

There are some industries that should still need some manpower, and we cannot let them lose their source of livelihood."

Butler Zhou lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, sir, I know this."

Qin Wenzheng put down his teacup, looked at him and said, "I just saw a few maids and nannies following Madam. Go and check them carefully. Pay attention to their movements in the past few days."

Butler Zhou's face changed slightly, he raised his head and said, "Master..."

Qin Wenzheng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, those people are all old people in the mansion and maids who grew up in the mansion, and we have checked many times, there should be no problem. It's just that Qingzhou has an exam these days, and in a few days

Chuan'er also has exams, so you should be more careful."

Butler Zhou immediately bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Song Ruyue went to the backyard.

In the courtyard, the sun was scorching hot, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were scalding hot.

A weak girl in a plain white dress was standing in the shadows of the corridor, frowning slightly, thinking about something.

As soon as Song Ruyue entered the door, she said: "Wei Mo, you guessed wrong this time. That boy chose not to go and didn't care. He said the most important thing now is the exam. I said, that mother and daughter didn't care about him.

He said, he is already an outsider. How could he give up his exam for them? He is a scholar and knows what is important and what is important."

Qin Weimo was slightly startled when he heard this and said, "Mother, what did my brother-in-law say at that time?"

Song Ruyue walked to the corridor and said: "The second lady of Chengguo Mansion also came and asked him for help. He lied to them in front of them and told them to go. When they left, he said he couldn't go..."

As he spoke, he recounted what had just happened in the hall.

Qin Weimo frowned slightly and fell silent.

Song Ruyue glanced at her face and said, "Why are you disappointed in that boy? In fact, my mother thinks that he is the one who can do great things. It is not worth delaying my own future and happiness for a pair of outsiders.

"

Qin Weimo pondered again and looked at the maids and grandmothers standing in the corridor next to him. He paused and said softly: "Mother, it's hot, let them all go down and rest. Here are Zhu'er and Mei'er.

enough."

Song Ruyue glanced at the maids and asked: "Please step aside, Mei'er can stay."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maids and nuns bowed, wiped their sweat, and left respectfully.

When Qin Weimo saw them leaving, he turned around and said, "Mother, come into the house. There are ice cubes in the house to make it cooler."

Song Ruyue followed her in and suddenly said in hindsight: "Is there a spy?"

Qin Weimo entered the room and did not answer immediately.

After a while, Fang said to Zhu'er who was waiting at the door: "Zhu'er, go and call Qiu'er. Remember, don't let my uncle find out."

"Yes, miss."

Pearl hurried away immediately.

Qin Weimo then said softly: "Mother, my brother-in-law must have his reasons for doing this. But Weimo believes that if the incident in Chengguo Mansion is true, my brother-in-law will never sit idly by and ignore it."

Song Ruyue curled her lips and said: "As soon as he introduces himself as a scholar, he knows some tricks. What can be done? The two families have agreed, one is the Chengguo Mansion and the other is the City Lord's Mansion. Even if the saint comes, it is inconvenient to forcibly prevent them from getting married.

.”

Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said no more.

She believed that her brother-in-law would be able to find a way to solve this matter.

She just thought about it in the corridor, put herself into the role of her brother-in-law, and thought carefully about it based on her brother-in-law's past thoughts and actions in solving things.

She felt that this matter was obviously impossible to solve.

Just like what my mother said, one is the Chengguo Mansion and the other is the City Lord's Mansion. They are both the largest forces in Mo City. The two families are willing to marry, who can stop them?

As for going directly to Chengguo Mansion to take people away, that is even more impossible. To rob people without any name or distinction is an act of banditry, and execution is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, the only way is to act secretly.

Take someone away secretly?

This method is also impossible. Mocheng is so big, where can it be hidden?

And since he took the initiative to inform him, he was naturally well prepared. It is estimated that the Chengguo Mansion had already set up traps and ambushes, and was just waiting for his brother-in-law to step in.

My brother-in-law is so smart that he would definitely not do this.

Then, there is only one way.

It is estimated that the Chengguo Mansion will not think about this method at all. Not only the Chengguo Mansion will not think about it, but the City Lord's Mansion may not think about it either.

If exposed, the consequences can be very serious.

How could a brother-in-law, a mere scholar, destroy his career and his own life for the sake of an outsider mother and daughter?

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, he does not have that ability.

Therefore, if this method is implemented, it will definitely be unexpected, but it can solve the problem as quickly as possible.

If she were a brother-in-law, she might use this method.

She was just thinking and guessing just now, but now when she heard her mother talk about her brother-in-law's attitude in the hall just now, she suddenly became certain.

The brother-in-law had already begun to distance himself from the relationship in advance, to paralyze the enemy in advance, and to tell the enemy in advance that he was now focused on the exam and would never delay the exam for the sake of two outsiders.

So no matter what happens outside in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

but……

She was very curious, and her brother-in-law seemed very sure that someone would spread his words and attitude just now.

Has your brother-in-law identified a spy again?
