Chapter 151: Punishment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At noon.

When Luo Qingzhou woke up, it was still snowing outside.

He opened his eyes and was in a daze for a while. He recalled the blurry scene in his dream before getting out of bed.

Just as he sat up, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

It was so painful that he could not help but bare his teeth. He raised his hand to touch it and felt another wave of pain.

He quickly lifted his clothes and looked down.

With one look, his expression changed!

There was a bruise on his nipples!

And it was swollen!

“What is going on?’ he wondered.

Other than under the bridge that night, he had not touched this particular spot again.

Xiao Die helped him scrub his body when he was bathing. Although she would scrub that area a few times, she did not deliberately hurt it.

So what was going on?

How did he suddenly get so seriously injured over here?

He merely took a nap.

What puzzled him the most was that he did not feel anything in his sleep.

Not only did he practice martial arts, but he also cultivated his soul. His perception was different from ordinary people. He knew that no one could hurt him without him knowing.

Could it be…

Thinking of the passionate scene in his dream, he gradually seemed to understand something.

Hiss…

He touched it gently with his fingertips and gasped again at the pain.

He covered himself again and got out of bed.

“Forget it, ” he thought.

It seemed that he could not cultivate today.

It did not matter if he was injured elsewhere, but this particular spot happened to be covered by his clothes. It hurt even if he moved slightly. He did not dare to do any strenuous exercise.

After getting properly dressed, he washed up.

He decided to return the money to Xia Chan first before going over to Second

Young Miss Qin’s place.

This morning, his mother-in-law had already spoken.

If he did not tell Second Young Miss a story today, she would teach him a lesson tonight.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was daytime and it was safe, Luo Qingzhou decided to tell Second Young Miss Qin a few rounds of “The Story of the Stone” before leaving, lest something as embarrassing as last night happened again tonight.

He went out of the room and was about to take two sticks of candied hawthorn to give to Xia Chan and Bai Ling when he went over to Ling Chan Moon Palace, but he was shocked when he reached the living room.

The five sticks of candied hawthorn on the table had disappeared without a trace!

There were only four empty bamboo sticks stuck there. They were smooth and there was not even a trace of sugar left!

Luo Qingzhou stared at her in silence.

Who stole his candied hawthorns?

A wild cat?

A rat?

A thief?

All of those were impossible.

Other than that mischievous girl, who else would do such a thing?

Xia Chan would come to take it in front of him when he was around. She would definitely not do such a thing behind his back.

It was obvious who the thief was!

Luo Qingzhou counted the silver and put it into the small bag Xia Chan gave him before leaving.

He decided to chastise the girl who had stolen food.

It was fine if she only ate one or two skewers, but why did she eat so many? What if her teeth decayed? In the future, she would have to…

Besides, it was fine if she stole the candied hawthorn, but why did she have to attack him over there?

“She is too much!”

When he arrived at the Ling Chan Moon Palace, the courtyard door was open.

The front yard was very quiet.

He knocked on the door and walked in.

No one was in the front yard.

He went to the back.

Just as he reached the entrance of the backyard, he suddenly saw Bai Ling leaning against the door. She was holding a stick of candied hawthorn in her hand and licking it happily with narrowed eyes. There was only one candied hawthorn left.

It was indeed her! She was the thief!

There were only four bamboo sticks left on the table, and the last one was in her hand!

She was caught red-handed!

Luo Qingzhou walked over quickly.

Bai Ling heard footsteps and turned around. When she saw him, she was stunned for a moment. Then, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. She quickly ate the last candied hawthorn and threw the bamboo stick into the bushes beside her. She puffed up her cheeks and said in a muffled voice, “S-Sir… You… You are here… Hang on… I still have something… something in my mouth…”

Luo Qingzhou walked closer and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xia Chan standing at the side, staring at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou could only put down the matter of the candied hawthorn for the time being. He took out the small bag from his pocket and handed it to her with both hands. He said sincerely, “Miss Xia Chan, I am here to return your silver.

Thank you for your help last time.”

Xia Chan was a little stunned. She looked at the small money bag in his hand.

Bai Ling quickly swallowed the candied hawthorn in her mouth and said in shock, “Sir, when did Chanchan help you? Did she take the initiative to help you to solve your call of nature?”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her in silence.

Following that, he said, “Miss Bai Ling, don’t be such a foodie. In the future, you should study more. The words you used sound a little weird.”

Luo Qingzhou rolled his eyes at her and handed over the silver in his hand to

Xia Chan, saying, “Miss Xia Chan, this is your silver.”

The bag of broken silver from last time must have been accumulated by this girl bit by bit.

At that time, when Luo Qingzhou saw Xia Chan take out the last piece of silver from her pocket, he felt very sad and touched.

Therefore, he paid interest today.

Xia Chan looked at the small money bag in his hand and was stunned for a while, but she did not take it. She turned around and left, walking to the pavilion with her sword in her arms. She looked at the lotus leaves in the pond outside the pavilion and did not move.

Luo Qingzhou was dumbfounded. He could only take the silver and follow her, saying, “Umm… Miss Xia Chan, I borrowed this silver from you, I’m not going to take your money and not return them.”

As he spoke, he reached out to stuff it into her belt.

Xia Chan twisted her body and held her sword tightly. She turned around and looked at him with cold eyes, saying, “No…”

Luo Qingzhou asked curiously, “Why? You worked hard to save this money bit by bit, right?”

“Reward. Yours.”

The girl said coldly, her pretty face expressionless.

Luo Qingzhou was completely baffled.

“A reward for me?”

He was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly understood. “Is it because of what happened that night?”

He was talking about what happened at the bottom of the bridge that night.

Xia Chan’s gaze flickered before she replied, “Yes.”

What she was referring to was actually about the other nights.

“There’s no need. Actually, we accompanied each other that night. Without each other, it’ll be difficult to get through that storm, so we don’t owe each other anything.”

Luo Qingzhou placed the money bag on the stone table in front of him. Afraid that Xia Chan would not accept it, he could only say, “I ought to return you the money that I borrowed. That way, it’ll be easier to borrow from you again should I need money. Miss Xia Chan, you should accept this money. Next time, I might look for you again if I need to borrow money from you. If you refuse to accept this money, I won’t dare to borrow money from you again in the future.”

After hearing this, the girl was silent for a moment before she reached out and took the money bag. She did not say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou smiled and threw a glance at a certain someone who was hiding behind a pillar and eavesdropping. He sighed loudly and said, “Miss Xia Chan, when I came, I wanted to bring you two sticks of candied hawthorn to eat, but the five sticks of candied hawthorn I bought had been eaten by a certain greedy cat. I’ll buy them for you when I go out next time.”

Xia Chan turned around and looked coldly at the snowflakes outside the pavilion. The corners of her mouth moved slightly as she thought to herself, “A Chanchan cat?’

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and bade farewell. He whispered to Bai Ling, who was hiding behind the pillar, “Come out for a while. I have something to ask you. ”

Bai Ling immediately shook her head and ran into the pavilion, hiding behind Xia Chan. She looked at him and said, “Chanchan is here today, don’t even think about taking liberties with me! ”

Xia Chan turned around and looked at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else and turned to leave.

Forget it. It was just a few sticks of candied hawthorn.

As for the wound on his chest, he would treat it as if he had been bitten by a greedy cat. He would recover in two days.

After he left, Bai Ling licked the remaining syrup on her lips and muttered, “Sir is really good at lying. If he really bought candied hawthorn, he would have brought it over. Cats won’t eat his candied hawthorn. By the way, Chanchan, you bought a skewer from outside just now? You only left one candied hawthorn for me. You’re so stingy.”

Xia Chan ignored her and held the money bag tightly, walking out of the pavilion and returning to her room.

Then, she closed the door and carefully hid all the silver at the bottom of her clothes in the wardrobe.

He had just said that he would come to borrow money from her again…

Therefore, she still had to continue saving money.

Then…. she would support him financially.

Xia Chan suddenly thought of something and went over to open the door. She walked out and walked to the back garden. She stopped in front of Bai Ling and extended her hand.

Bai Ling was stunned momentarily and asked in confusion, “What?”

“Return the money. The candied hawthorn… money.”

Xia Chan said coldly.

Bai Ling stared at her speechlessly.

After Luo Qingzhou left the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he went to Second Young Miss Qin’s place.

Zhu’er suddenly walked out in a hurry and almost bumped into him just as he reached the entrance. When she saw him, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, “Sir, quickly go in! Madam just told me to call you over.”

“Madam?”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. “This is bad, ” he thought.

He asked, “Why is Madam here? Why did she call me over?”

Thinking of last night, Luo Qingzhou wanted to run away. After what happened last night, how would he dare go in?

Zhu’er knew what he was afraid of. She said in a low voice, “Sir, don’t be afraid. It’s not about what happened last night. Madam still doesn’t know what happened last night. I didn’t tell Madam either, so don’t worry. Madam is here because of the gift for the Grand Princess. Miss Meijiao is also here. Miss Meijiao told me that the Grand Princess likes poems and paintings related to heroes and war. Madam thought that you might be able to write them, so she asked me to call you over.”

“By the way, when Madam came just now, she was still angry and said that you didn’t keep your word. Today, you still haven’t come over to tell stories to my Miss. She even said that if you don’t take the initiative to come today, she would punish you severely tonight.”

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as it was not about what happened last night, he could write a hundred poems.

However…

Was Miss Cui Yingying, the woman who had a whip wrapped around her slender waist, there as well?

“Sir, why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and go in. Don’t be afraid. Just perform well later. Miss is around. She definitely won’t let Madam bully you.” Zhu’er urged anxiously.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to hesitate anymore and could only follow her in.

Slap!

As soon as he entered, he heard the familiar sound of a whip coming from the courtyard..
