“I understand!”
“Zhe’er, once this matter is settled tonight, you can go to the Chengguo Residence tomorrow to see that little girl. That little girl’s mother might not be willing, but it doesn’t matter. That First Madam will help you. She said that when the time comes, she can give that little girl to you as a concubine. At that time, you can do whatever you want with her.”
The young man was overjoyed to hear this.
The mother and son stood by the river and chatted softly for a while. Afterward, they looked at the river and silently said their goodbyes to the girl who had died for the family. Then, they turned around and left.
Surrounded by the maidservants and a few guards, they got into the carriage and the carriage quickly disappeared down the road by the river.
Luo Qingzhou floated under the night sky illuminated by the moon. He thought about what he had just heard and rushed toward Mandarin Duck Restaurant.
There was still some time before midnight.
He still had time.
There was a mole in the Qin residence and a very important one at that.
Who could it be?
As long as the mole told the Song family about the Qin residence’s business arrangements and secrets, the Qin residence would be in danger.
At that point, he could no longer continue to be a gigolo there. All this while, he only had one wish: To temporarily be a gigolo there and live off them. So, since that would affect him, how could he just sit back and do nothing?
Of course, he could not.
Anyone who was a threat to his steady income and welfare was his sworn enemy!
Besides, they still wanted to use Xiaolou to deal with him. How could he tolerate that?
Not long after, he arrived at Mandarin Duck Restaurant.
On the roof, the figure wrapped in moonlight was still standing motionless on the eaves, as if she was deep in thought.
Luo Qingzhou floated to the roof and stood behind her. He cupped his hands and said, “Senior, I still have something on tonight. I might be leaving in two hours. If you want to hear the story, I’ll start now. Is that okay?”
The moon-white figure looked at the moon. After a moment, she said, “Are you going home to accompany your wife again?”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, “Yes.”
In the middle of the night, this was the only reason that worked.
The moon-white figure fell silent for a moment before slowly turning to look at him. Suddenly, she asked, “How many wives do you have?” Luo Qingzhou was taken aback by that sudden question. After a pause, he answered respectfully, “One.”
This senior was probably asking if he had taken a concubine.
Actually, in this era, concubines could not be considered wives. They could only be considered maidservants. They could not even eat at the dining table.
The moon-white figure did not say anything else and looked at the distant night sky.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a moment and said, “Senior, do you need me to tell you a story tonight?”
The moon-white figure said indifferently, “No need.”
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and said, “All right. Then I won’t disturb you from admiring the moon. I’ll take my leave.”
The moon-white figure looked into the distance and said, “Stand still.”
Hearing that, Luo Qingzhou could only stand obediently and not move.
The two of them stood on the roof like statues, motionless and silent.
Two hours later.
The moon-white figure said, “Go.”
Then, she added, “Go back and accompany your wife.”
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and left the roof. Soon, he disappeared into the distant night.
The moon-white figure remained standing on the eaves until dawn.
After Luo Qingzhou went back, he first looked around the Qin residence and then went to the alley behind the Qin residence to look about. Only then did he return to his room and practice Thunder Fist.
It was almost midnight.
He floated out of the roof and silently drifted toward the dark alley behind him.
Then, he looked at the wall and stared at the back door hidden in the depths of the alley.
After an unknown period.
With a creak, the back door opened.
A head peeked out of the door sneakily. That figure had a hat on. He looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual around. Then, he tiptoed out.
Luo Qingzhou looked over.
The figure took a few steps and suddenly stopped. He leaned against the corner of the wall and looked around.
Suddenly, a figure appeared under the moonlight at the entrance of the alley. Then, he walked over quickly.
When the figure saw that, he continued standing at the same spot, waiting for the other party to approach..
