The news of Lu Siheng's return soon reached Zhou's ears.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair, Zhou looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Did he go find that brothel girl?"

Mother Wang next to her replied: "Madam has a clever plan. As soon as the third master came back, he went to Miss Qingyan's room."

"Hmph, what a clever plan. If the person he cares about is not here, he will not rush back." Zhou put down the comb and stood up and ordered, "Let people keep an eye on it. If there is any trouble over there, report it immediately."

"Yes, madam." Mother Wang responded and went out.

The lamp in Qingyan's room was still burning, the second cup of tea in Lu Siheng's hand had cooled down, and he had made a decision in his heart.

"Qing Yan, I will send you away from here tomorrow and buy you a house outside. You can live your life in peace and don't get involved in the grudge between me and that woman."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yan stood up and knelt in front of him, "Young Master, please don't send me away. My life was saved by Young Master. I won't leave until I repay Young Master."

"Qing Yan, please get up." Lu Siheng bent down to help her, "You have done enough for me over the years, you don't owe me anything."

"No," Qing Yan pushed his hand away stubbornly, "It's not enough. I've been able to stay in Baihua Tower without looking at other people's faces, all because of the young master. Just let me stay and help the young master finish this matter. I will leave on my own."

"Qingyan, why are you doing this?" Lu Siheng sighed softly, "Dealing with the Zhou family is not as simple as you think. I have no evidence that she harmed my mother back then. With the evidence of Mrs. Zhongjinghou and my aunt, With her identity, it’s not easy to move her, otherwise I wouldn’t wait until now.”

"If you stay

If something happens to you when you confront her here, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time to help you. "

Hearing that he was worried about her, Qingyan felt warm in her heart. His words were enough.

"Young master, please don't underestimate me. I have learned a lot in these years in Baihualou, and self-preservation is no problem. You don't need to be distracted by me, just do your important things."

"You get up first." Lu Siheng stretched out his hand again.

"Master, have you agreed?"

"You can stay, but don't act rashly. If you have anything, you must discuss it with me first." Lu Siheng warned.

Qing Yan got her wish and got up from the ground with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, I know what's appropriate."

The two of them were so close that Qingyan smelled the faint smell of medicine on Lu Siheng's body and said nervously: "Young Master is injured. Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

Lu Siheng retracted his hand and said, "The flesh wound is not a problem. It's getting late, so you can rest."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qing Yan couldn't help but said: "Master, won't you stay?"

When Lu Siheng turned around to look over, she quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Master, I have no other intentions... I'm afraid that if Mrs. Hou knew that Master didn't stay in my room tonight, would she become suspicious? We might as well put on a show for her like we did in Baihualou."

"It's not necessary. She's not worthy of me putting on a special show for her. Have a good rest and follow me to meet her tomorrow morning."

Seeing Lu Siheng leave, Qingyan could not hide the loneliness in her eyes. It was impossible to go back to the past with the young master. Fortunately, she was closer to the young master, and there would be more opportunities to meet him in the future.

Mrs. Zhou leaned on the bed and waited for news. When she fell asleep, Mrs. Wang

Mom just came in from outside.

"Is there any movement over there?" Mrs. Zhou woke up, sat up straight and asked.

Mother Wang walked to the bed and bent down and replied: "The third master came out of Miss Qingyan's room and returned to his own residence."

Zhou was stunned after hearing this, "Everyone was brought right under his nose, but he was willing to leave?"

"Maybe the third master has just returned to Beijing and is tired..." Mrs. Wang guessed.

"Hmph, all men have the same virtue," Zhou said angrily, thinking of Lu Hao, "The ones at home can never be as good as those outside. That evil man is just like me, he likes to fool around outside every day!"

When Mrs. Wang heard her scolding the Marquis together, she was too frightened to answer the question.

Zhou continued: "That brothel girl is nothing more than that, she can't even win over a man, she's a waste!"

"As long as people enter the house, Madam's goal will be achieved." Mother Wang comforted, "Outsiders only know that the third master took his best friend from the brothel into the Zhongjing Hou Mansion. They don't care whether the two people are lying on the same bed. On the bed?"

"In my opinion, Miss Qingyan has no abilities. It would be better to let Madam round and flatten her. This will make it easier to deal with in the future."

Mrs. Zhou felt that what she said made some sense, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

"Yes, rest in peace, ma'am." Mother Wang put out the candles in the room before leaving.

The next day, as soon as Ms. Zhou finished washing her clothes, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the third master wants to see you."

Mrs. Zhou held the hairpin on her head and said, "He came too early."

Mother Wang whispered: "I quietly went to see the third master. The third master came with Miss Qingyan. Last night, I was afraid that Miss Qingyan would not be able to win the third master's heart and let the third master send him away. Now look

Come on, the third master is still satisfied. Maybe he came here so early to thank Madam. "

"I don't need him to thank me. I wish he would never appear in front of me." Ms. Zhou stood up from the embroidery stool.

Mother Wang was startled by her words and quickly looked outside the door, "Madam, please don't say angry words at this time. The third master is outside, be careful not to be overheard by him."

Zhou didn't care, "I'm not afraid even if he hears it. When did he ever take me as his eldest mother in his eyes?"

"Ma'am, please calm down and think about me." Mother Wang advised.

When Lu Wenchen was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou calmed down. Yes, for the sake of Wenchen's position as the heir apparent, she could not lose her composure. Now everything is in her plan. If she makes good use of it, she can ruin her reputation.

Thinking of this, Zhou's lips showed a smile, "Let's go and meet."

Zhou came to the hall unhurriedly and looked at Lu Siheng who was standing in the center with his hands behind his back.

As Zhou said, they are well aware of each other's dislike for each other. Although they live under the same roof, they don't meet often.

When Lu Hao was in the house, they would occasionally have dinner together, and Mrs. Zhou could not help but pretend. Now that Lu Hao is not here, the two of them have not seen each other like this for a long time.

Mrs. Zhou sat down directly in front, glanced at Qing Yan, who was following Lu Siheng with lowered eyebrows, and said slowly: "I heard that you are out of Beijing on business. Did your trip go well?"

Lu Siheng didn't answer in a hurry. He also found a chair next to him and sat down. He pointed to the position next to him and said to Qingyan: "Come and sit here."

"I don't dare, I just need to stand." Qing Yan said in fear.

"Sit down if I ask you to, Madam will take care of you personally."

What are you afraid of entering the mansion? "Lu Siheng raised his voice.
