Something’s Wrong With My Wife-Chapter 21

Chapter 21

They left the Chengguo Residence.

Luo Qingzhou immediately let go of Qin Jianjia.

Her hand was soft and smooth. The feel of her hand in his felt amazing, so much so that he was reluctant to part with it.

However, his life was more important.

He could not afford to offend the person behind him.

After Bai Ling’s reminder, he behaved in a careful manner around Xia Chan. However, from now onward, he had to be even more careful around Xia Chan.

He did not want to end up like Guard Wang, dying before he even got a chance to react. Besides, he did not want to die in the prime of life.

Xiao Die handed him a handkerchief.

“Young Master, use this and wipe,” she said.

“No need,” Luo Qingzhou said.

“But there’s a lot of water. It’s all wet inside,” Xiao Die said.

“It doesn’t matter,” Luo Qingzhou said.

“It’s still better to wipe it. Your pants are soaked, and the tea is dripping from the hem of your pants leg.”

Luo Qingzhou did not reply to her.

He merely glanced at the little girl and reached out to take the handkerchief from her. He wiped the tea stains on his face and neck.

The spilled tea was a little hot.

However, these few days of cultivation were quite effective.

His skin had some resistance, so it did not hurt.

He only hoped that it would not leave a scar behind.

First Young Miss Qin got into the carriage.

The burly woman who was driving the carriage immediately lowered the curtain and got into it. She had no intention of letting him up again.

He was not allowed to walk on his visit back to the Chengguo Residence.

Now that the visit was over, he could walk back.

Actually, he preferred to walk.

Since his clothes were dirty, there was no need to insist on getting into the horse carriage.

Even if he got into it, he would feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

The carriage moved slowly.

Bai Ling and Xia Chan followed along. Each of them was stationed on each side of the carriage.

Luo Qingzhou followed along behind Bai Ling with Xiao Die in tow, trying his best to distance himself from the cold and terrifying girl.

Bai Ling turned around and smiled at him, complimenting him, “Sir’s performance earlier isn’t bad. You took the initiative to block the tea for Young Miss. I’m impressed. You’re unlike those scholars who don’t dare utter a word when their wives are bullied.”

Luo Qingzhou knew that First Young Miss Qin and Xia Chan could hear him, so he did not respond.

The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.

In front of that person, he tried to speak as little as possible.

Besides, it was only right for him to block the tea for First Young Miss Qin. This was nothing to be proud of.

After all, she was his wife.

And she was probably implicated by him.

He was the person that First Madam hated the most.

First Madam thought that he would marry into the Qin family and have a fool as a wife. She thought that he would spend the rest of his life as a useless and cowardly man. Who knew that his wife would be such a beauty? How could she not hate him?

Let her hate him.

In the future, there would be more hateful and devastating things awaiting her!

“Sir, you can ask Miss for a reward.”

Bai Ling suddenly giggled and deliberately raised her voice.

Luo Qingzhou was about to say “No need” when he saw her wink at him playfully. Then, Bai Ling ran to the window of the carriage and said crisply, “Sir said that he wants to sleep with you tonight. Do you agree, Young Miss?”

Luo Qingzhou’s expression changed.

At the same time, he felt a sudden chill coming from the other side of the carriage!

He felt a chill on his neck.

It was quiet inside the carriage.

First Young Miss Qin did not respond.

Bai Ling said loudly, “Alright, Miss. I’ll tell Sir that you have agreed to his request.”

With that, she walked up to Luo Qingzhou and said with a smile, “Miss has agreed. She said that it’s your reward.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her in confusion.

But he did not hear First Young Miss Qin speak at all.

Moreover, she did not even lift up the curtain. It was impossible that First Young Miss Qin mouthed or gestured her agreement.

Was this girl teasing him on purpose?

However, how could she be so bold as to deliver a false order in front of her Young Miss?

“Sir, aren’t you going to thank me?”

Bai Ling raised her eyebrows. “Or is Sir unwilling?”

Luo Qingzhou did not know how to answer and could only continue to remain silent.

Bai Ling chuckled and walked to the front.

Back at the Qin residence.

Qin Wenzheng was waiting for them at the entrance of the hall with a dark expression.

It turned out that a servant who had been carrying gifts ran back and reported what had just happened in the Chengguo residence to him.

Luo Qingzhou originally thought that Old Master Qin would reprimand them severely and even punish Xia Chan.

However, to his surprise, Old Master Qin actually comforted them amiably and scolded the people of the Chengguo Residence for being despicable.

“Well done, Qingzhou. I didn’t misjudge your character. I’m very relieved that you were able to protect Jianjia when she was in danger.”

“How dare Luo Yannian acquiesce to his wife’s treatment of you! He’s not worthy of being an elder! The Qin family will definitely remember this!”

“From now on, you don’t have to go over anymore. Just treat them as strangers.”

Luo Qingzhou looked into his eyes and heard his inner thoughts.

“F*ck you, Luo Yannian. F*ck your wife and your ancestors. I know that you look down on the Qin family. I swear that you’ll regret this one day!”

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.

So his wife’s dignified father was actually like this…

“All right, you guys can go back and rest.”

After scolding the Luo family for a bit, Qin Wenzheng waved his hands dismissively at them.

Luo Qingzhou took his leave.

When they parted ways in the corridor outside, Bai Ling reminded him with a smile, “Sir, remember to take a shower and clean yourself thoroughly tonight. Wait in the room obediently tonight.”

Qin Jianjia had an indifferent expression.

Xia Chan, who was standing at the side, was still staring at him with a sharp gaze.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to reply. He left with Xiao Die silently.

They returned to the courtyard.

The master and servant chatted for a while.

Luo Qingzhou entered the house to read.

Xiao Die closed the courtyard door and went to find other maidservants to learn needlework and practice playing the flute.

Sunlight seeped in through the window frame onto his body. It was a warm and comfortable feeling.

Luo Qingzhou read for a while. He suddenly thought of that morning’s incident. Butler Wang had majestically attacked Xia Chan, but she ended up subduing him in one strike.

It was still more interesting to practice martial arts!

He put down the book and sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his inner force cultivation method a few times.

When he felt the heat flowing in his body, he left the house and came to the corner of the small courtyard. He began to throw fierce punches at both trees to temper his flesh.

Time passed very quickly while cultivating.

Soon, it was noon.

Xiao Die brought lunch over.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly finished his meal.

After Xiao Die packed up and left, Luo Qingzhou closed the courtyard door and continued cultivating.

Bam!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In the small courtyard, the sound of a human body colliding with tree trunks continued.

From the sound, one could tell that it was abnormally forceful and violent.

Luo Qingzhou was sweating profusely. His body was sore, but he did not stop.

Only when his skin could not take it anymore and was about to explode did he stop and circulate his inner force cultivation method.

Then, he continued to throw punches one after another.

His skin membrane turned from soft to hard, and then from hard to soft. This process repeated and his skin gradually became tougher.

Every inch of his skin began to change under this intense tempering of his body.

The surface of the two tree trunks had already cracked.

Luo Qingzhou knew that this was only the beginning.

When he smashed the entire tree trunk, he would be considered to have a small success in refining the skin.

In the blink of an eye.

The sun had set below the horizon.

In the distance, the mountain scenery was lighted up by the rays of the setting sun. There were gray mists surrounding the mountain peak.

It was as if a young girl with a blushing face was lying there looking at him shyly.

Luo Qingzhou was in a half-dazed state.

He wondered,

“Will First Young Miss Qin really come tonight?”
