Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Moonlight Rain Court.

Exquisite lanterns had been hung on the willow trees by the lake.

The maidservants were also all holding lanterns.

The entire garden was brightly lit.

Today, some esteemed guests came to visit. They were all prestigious ladies in MO City and often interacted with the members of the Qin residence.

Song Ruyue accompanied them.

Initially, she wanted that talented son-in-law to accompany them, but she did not expect him to fall ill tonight.

Upon hearing Zhu’er’s report, Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “Why did he have to fall sick at this time? I think that kid did it on purpose.” Zhu’er lowered her head and did not dare to say another word.

Although she knew that Sir did not do it on purpose, she could not defend Sir in front of Madam.

Madam was never wrong. Whatever she said was right.

In the Qin residence, Madam was always right.

“Hmph, he’s so weak. He ate so much for nothing. When I need him, he skives off. I should have ordered that kid to plant flowers in my backyard. He should work more, do more work, and serve me more. Seeing that he stays in the room every day, it would be strange if he didn’t fall sick.”

Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and complained as she walked gracefully toward the reception room.

When Zhu’er followed her out of the waiting room, she said respectfully, “Second Young Miss has already gone out. I’ll inform Second Young Miss about this.”

Song Ruyue frowned and asked, “Why did that girl come out? The wind is strong at night, but the lake is hot. It’s cold and hot, so she might fall ill again. Tell her to wear thicker clothes. I don’t want her to catch a cold.”

“I understand.”

Zhu ‘er hurriedly took her leave.

After she walked far away, Song Ruyue sighed and muttered with a worried expression, “I originally wanted that kid to perform well so that I could gain some prestige in front of those little b*tches, but he fell ill. How annoying.” On the surface, she looked harmonious with those noblewomen, but in fact, she secretly competed with them every time they met.

They showed off, mocked, and belittled each other.

As the Chengguo Residence had broken off the engagement and recruited a matrilocal son-in-law, she had been mocked by those people the previous time. She was embarrassed and fuming.

She originally wanted that brat to help her today, so that she could vent her anger, but she did not expect that brat to stand her up. How detestable.

“Once he’s recovered, I’ll make sure to get back at him!”

Song Ruyue thought angrily and sighed again. She had no choice but to walk into the reception room with a bright smile on her face.

Under the light, her figure was voluptuous and graceful. Her face was delicate and beautiful. She still looked like a beautiful young woman.

The few noblewomen who were drinking tea and chatting in the living room looked at her with envy and jealousy in their eyes. They immediately stood up with blooming smiles and exchanged pleasantries.

Then, a noblewoman said sarcastically, “Ruyue, were those poems really written by that Elementary Scholar son-in-law of yours? I heard from my Old Master that those poems couldn’t possibly be composed by an ordinary

Elementary Scholar. Don’t lie to us.”

Another noble lady had a faint smile and chipped in, “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know tonight. Ruyue, I brought my niece—Qingwan—over today. She’s known as the most talented woman in MO City. She’s not inferior to men and knows poetry. Tonight, we’ll meet the talented son-in-law you mentioned.”

The others also chimed in.

Song Ruyue groaned inwardly. When she saw the women’s gloating expressions, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

If she said that that brat was suddenly sick and could not come, it would be akin to slapping herself in the face.

How could there be such a coincidence? Why did he have to fall sick when they wanted to meet him? It was obvious that he had a guilty conscience and did not dare to come out.

Song Ruyue forced a calm smile and invited them to Moonlight Rain Court.

When she reached the hall, she immediately gave the maidservant beside her a look.

The maidservant hurriedly moved closer.

“Hurry up and take a look at that brat. If he’s not dead, bring him over! Even if he’s dead, bring him over!”

Song Ruyue had a bright and charming smile on her face, but she gritted her teeth and whispered.

The maidservant immediately left in a hurry.

In another garden.

Qin Weimo was wrapped in a thick snow-white fur coat. With Zhu’er and a few other maidservants’ help, she lightly frowned as she walked toward the small courtyard where Luo Qingzhou lived.

“Miss, the physician said that Sir will be fine after resting for a few days. Don’t worry. Why don’t we just forget about this?”

Zhu’er persuaded softly.

She did not want her Miss to go over.

After all, it was already nighttime. Men and women should not have physical contact. Additionally, the two of them were siblings-in-laws. They would be gossiped about.

Qin Weimo said gently, “Brother-in-law is sick, so I have to go and take a look.”

After a pause, she sighed slightly. “Just treat it as a visit on behalf of Elder Sister. Elder Sister probably won’t go… Brother-in-law’s background is pitiful, and he married into the Qin family. He has no relatives or friends here. He’s alone and must feel inferior and sad… If no one cares about him, how miserable would that be?”

“Ahem!”

After walking for a while, Qin Weimo panted softly. Her face was red, and when the cold wind blew, she coughed. Her body was very frail.

An elderly nanny quickly wrapped the fur robe tightly around Qin Weimo and asked the maidservant to open the umbrella to block the cold wind.

Qin Weimo covered her mouth and coughed a few more times. Her face turned from rosy to pale as she muttered bitterly, “I’m useless…”

Zhu’er’s eyes turned red. She wanted to persuade her Miss, but she did not dare to say anything.

The other maidservants and grannies beside Qin Weimo also looked dejected. They lowered their heads in silence.

After a while, they arrived at Luo Qingzhou’s small courtyard.

Qiu’er hurriedly ran up and knocked on the door. “Sir, my Miss is here to see you. Xiao Die, are you asleep? Come and open the door.”

Xiao Die was worried about Young Master’s health. She could not sleep at all and was sitting on her bed embroidering in her room.

Hearing the knock on the door, she immediately got out of bed and ran out to open the door.

At this moment, Luo Qingzhou was sitting at his desk and reading. When he heard the sound, he hesitated for a moment before putting down the book and returning to the bed to lie down.

There were very few records about the soul in the book. There were only a few paragraphs. Moreover, the author had not seen it before. It was all hearsay, so he did not know if it was true.

Luo Qingzhou felt a little disappointed.

Through his body’s reactions and the records in the books, he felt that his soul might be able to leave his body. It was not a random fabrication.

After one’s soul became stronger, they could leave their body and fly out on their own. Not only could they roam the world, but they could also see ghosts and phantoms that humans could not see.

Some of the ghost stories recorded in the book might exist.

Luo Qingzhou decided to go to the bookstore outside when he had time.

Perhaps he could find some books that had some introductions about the soul.

At the same time, he also wanted to buy a few books that introduced martial artists.

Although he had already become a true martial artist, his understanding of other martial artists was still very blank.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Xiao Die had already brought people into the small courtyard.

She said respectfully, “Second Young Miss, I’ll go and see if Sir is asleep.”

As she spoke, she ran toward the window and stood in front of it. She called out softly, “Sir, Second Young Miss is here to see you. Are you asleep?”

Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes and did not say anything.

Although his body and mind had recovered, his mind was still in a mess and he did not want to speak.

Moreover, under such circumstances, it was not convenient for them to meet and talk with each other given their status and relationship.

He did not mind, but he was afraid that when his mother-in-law heard about it, she would be angry and spout nonsense. She would say that the siblings-in-laws were flirting in the middle of the night. That would be troublesome.

“Xiao Die, there’s no need to call him… Since he is already resting, don’t disturb him. I’ll just stand outside the window and watch.”

Second Young Miss Qin’s gentle voice sounded from outside.

“Ahem!”

There was also the sound of coughing.

He could even hear the sound of panting.

Luo Qingzhou was secretly puzzled. He did not know what illness Second Young Miss had. Her body was so weak, even weaker than Lin Daiyu’s.

Qin Weimo stood under the moonlight outside the window with a gentle and worried expression. He glanced into the room and said in a low voice, “Xiao Die, I’ll come to see him tomorrow… You have to take good care of him. Check on him more frequently at night and make sure that he’s covered with a blanket. ”

Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes, and his heart warmed.

Although he felt that the Qin residence had some unsatisfactory aspects, this place was heaven as compared to the Chengguo Residence.

He could eat his fill, wear warm clothes, and be cared for.

No matter whether it was the master or the servants, they were very good to Xiao Die and him.

This marriage was a blessing in disguise.

After Qin Weimo finished reminding Xiao Die, she covered her mouth and coughed softly. Just as she was about to leave, a maidservant suddenly ran in from outside the door and shouted anxiously, “Xiao Die! Xiao Die! Is your

Young Master feeling better? Quickly ask him to get up. Madam wants him..

Luo Qingzhou, who was lying on the bed, was speechless.

Xiao Die was dumbfounded.

The maidservant panted heavily and continued, “She… She wants him to go over… Madam is anxious.. She said that no matter if he’s dead or alive, I have to… I have to carry him over…”
