Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 121: Jealousy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was 9 p.m.

With the maidservants and guards escorting the carriage, it slowly stopped at the entrance of the Qin residence.

Song Ruyue got out of the carriage first. She glanced coldly at a certain someone behind the carriage before personally helping her daughter out.

“Brother-in-law…”

“Brother-in-law, what? It’s already so late. Why are you still calling for your brother-in-law? Aren’t you ashamed? Don’t call him that anymore!”

“Mother, I just want to tell Brother-in-law to come into the residence together with us…”

Song Ruyue berated, “He doesn’t know how to go in himself? Why do you have to call him? Does he not have legs, so he needs you to support him, or does he not have eyes and need you to guide him as he walks?”

Qin Weimo blushed.

She lowered her head and did not dare to say anything else. Her maidservants helped her up the stairs.

After walking up the steps, she could not help but look back.

“Stop looking!”

Song Ruyue shouted again with a cold face.

Qin Weimo blushed and lowered her head as she entered the residence.

Luo Qingzhou silently followed four to five meters behind.

After entering the residence.

Walking on the limestone path, Qin Weimo suddenly said, “Mother, is Father here? I have a few words to say to him.”

Song Ruyue looked at her and asked, “What do you want to say? You can tell me. He probably hasn’t returned yet.”

Qin Weimo was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll tell him tomorrow then.”

Song Ruyue looked displeased. “Why? You have started keeping secrets from your own mother? If you can tell your father, why can’t you tell me?”

Helpless, Qin Weimo could only say, “It’s about business. I was bored the day before, so I went to the accounting room to take a look and realized that the accounts were a little off. I want to tell Father about this.

Song Ruyue stared at her in shock. “The accounts are wrong? Someone embezzled our money?”

Qin Weimo’s gaze flickered. She looked away and said gently, “I might be wrong. I’ll go and tell Father tomorrow so that he can do a check again.”

Song Ruyue nodded solemnly and said, “I’ll tell him when he comes back tonight.’

Qin Weimo hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Mother, in the past, you always told me not to get too close to Zixi. I-is there some conflict between our family and the Song family?”

Song Ruyue was silent for a moment before she said with a smile, “What conflict can there be? Even if there is, it has nothing to do with the younger generation… I only told you that because I didn’t want you to be influenced by them. All of them have started expressing interest in boys and filling their heads with nothing but boys.”

As the mother and daughter spoke, they entered the courtyard at the back.

Luo Qingzhou entered through the arched door at the side and passed through the garden corridor. When he passed by the “Ling Chan Moon Palace” where First Young Miss Qin lived, he stopped for a moment. He did not enter and continued forward.

It was already late.

He decided not to pay his respects to Qin Jianjia today.

Anyway, they knew that he was out tonight.

They probably would not care what time he got back.

However, just as he took a few steps forward, he suddenly realized that a cold figure was standing under the tree in front of him.

She held a sword in her arms and gave him a sidelong glance. She stood there unmoving, as cold as ice.

Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and looked at her. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him. “In ancient times, there were heartless men who didn’t bother to speak to their wives anymore as they had a new lover. Today, there’s a stinky Sir who passed by but didn’t enter. He’s a fickle man who is never satisfied with what he has!”

Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at the person who spoke. “How am I a fickle man who’s unsatisfied with what I have?”

Bai Ling held a flower in her hand and leaned against the door frame of the Ling Chan Moon Palace. She threw a glance at him and said, “There are so many beautiful women on the pleasure boat tonight. It’s said that there are even naked courtesans. That’s why you passed by Miss’ place but didn’t enter. Doesn’t that show that you can’t forget about those naked courtesans from before and are still thinking about them? That’s why you’re a fickle man who’s unsatisfied with what you have.”

Luo Qingzhou asked, “Who told you that they are naked?”

Bai Ling sneered. “Women who like to seduce men from respectable families like to be naked, isn’t it?”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her.

However, since he had already been seen and the road ahead was blocked by that person, he definitely had to go in and pay his respects.

He could only turn back.

Just as he was about to enter, Bai Ling suddenly reminded him in a low voice,

“Sir, don’t forget this month’s opportunity. Remember to tell Miss.”

Luo Qingzhou passed by her and entered the small courtyard. He said, “I don’t want to for the time being. I’ll wait for a while longer.”

Bai Ling followed behind and remarked, “Sir, it’s not a matter of whether you want it or not. It’s… It’s whether Miss wants it or not. You’re married into the family, so you don’t have the right to choose when the day you want it.”

Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at her. “Then why should I take the initiative to suggest it? If Miss wants to do the deed with me, she can be the one to bring it up.”

Bai Ling immediately retorted, “Young Miss is a woman! She’s shy, reserved, and thin-skinned. Of course, you have to be the one to say it.”

Luo Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, “Miss Bai Ling, don’t you think your words are very contradictory?”

With that, he ignored her and quickly walked into the back garden.

In the pavilion.

The figure was dressed in white and sat there quietly. She was looking at the moonlight in the pond in a daze as if she was thinking about something. Luo Qingzhou walked closer and cupped his hands. “First Young Miss.”

When Qin Jianjia heard his voice, she turned around and looked at him. She was silent for a moment before nodding slightly without saying anything.

Luo Qingzhou looked up and met her gaze. He lowered his head and said, “Then I’ll be going back now.”

Just as she was about to leave, Qin Jianjia suddenly said, “Is… Is Weimo all right?”

Luo Qingzhou’s expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and said, “Second Young Miss coughed up some blood on the boat today. She’s not feeling well and has already gone back to rest. She should be fine.”

Qin Jianjia did not say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou waited for a while more. Just as he was about to leave, he heard her say, “What do you think of Weimo?”

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and said, “First

Young Miss, are you asking about Second Young Miss’s health or other things?” Qin Jianjia looked at him with a calm expression. “Other things.”

Luo Qingzhou was puzzled and answered honestly, “Everything else is good about her. Second Young Miss has a gentle personality, is gentle and kind, and treats everyone very well.”

“Do you think she is pretty?”

Qin Jianjia looked at him and asked again.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned. He looked up at her and lowered his head. “Yes.”

Qin Jianjia fell silent and did not say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou’s heart was pounding. He felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that he had answered wrongly?

After all, it was a little… inappropriate to praise his sister-in-law in front of his wife.

However, First Young Miss Qin had never treated herself as his wife.

She probably would not mind… right?

“You may leave.”

After a long while, Qin Jianjia said.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and bade farewell.

After walking out of the courtyard, he saw Bai Ling leaning against the wall with a flower in her hand. She lowered her head slightly and said shyly, “Sir,

didn’t you tell Miss? It’s fine if you didn’t tell her. When Miss wants to sleep

with you, she’ll naturally inform you. Umm… did you forget anything else

tonight?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “Nope.”

Bai Ling bit her lip and fluttered her eyelashes innocently. “Sir, think about it carefully.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else and walked past her.

Bai Ling pouted with a bitter expression. Just as she was about to mutter something to herself, Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around and said, “By the way, Miss Bai Ling, I remember now.”

Bai Ling’s eyes lit up and she immediately lowered her eyes. She pinched the pink flower in her hand and said shyly, “Sir… what did you remember?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “There’s something I want to ask you. What illness does the

Second Young Miss have? Do you know?”

Bai Ling was a little taken aback at his sudden question. Then, she stood up straight and the smile on her face disappeared. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Why are you asking this, Sir?”

Luo Qingzhou frowned. “I feel that you’re all very secretive about Second Young Miss’s illness. Is Second Young Miss’s illness… very difficult to treat?”

Bai Ling frowned and did not speak again.

“All right. I’ll be going back now.”

With that, Luo Qingzhou left.

Bai Ling stood quietly in the corner for a while before turning around and entering the garden. She walked to the pavilion and looked at the figure in front of the table with a complicated gaze. She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Miss, you can’t possibly really want Sir to… to…”

Qin Jianjia turned her gaze to the pond. She was silent for a moment before saying, “If we do that, we might be able to buy her some time. My current cultivation level is still insufficient.’

Bai Ling fell silent.

Qin Jianjia suddenly looked at her from the side. “You can’t bear to part with him?”

Bai Ling was slightly stunned. Then, she blushed and lowered her head. “No, that is not the case…”

Then, she looked up and said, “But… Miss, there will definitely be someone who can’t bear to part with him.”

Luo Qingzhou left the Ling Chan Moon Palace. After taking a few steps, he realized that the cold figure was still holding her sword and standing under the tree.

After a slight hesitation, he walked over and cupped his hands. “Miss Xia Chan,

I have already gone to pay my respects to First Young Miss.”

He guessed that this girl was standing here in the middle of the night with a sword in her arms, blocking his way, because she wanted him to pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin.

Xia Chan looked at him coldly but she did not reply.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her expression. She did not look unwell like before. She seemed to have recovered. He asked concernedly, “Are you feeling better?”

The girl looked away and raised her chin. “Hmph!” Luo Qingzhou stared at her speechlessly.

“Umm, well, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”

Luo Qingzhou could not be bothered to talk to this arrogant girl anymore. He cupped his hands and walked past her.

The girl turned her face away and looked at his back.

It was only when the figure gradually disappeared into the night that she retracted her gaze and walked toward the Ling Chan Moon Palace.

Bai Ling stood at the door with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Xia Chan and said, “Chanchan, I smelled him earlier. Sir only has the smell of Second Young Miss on him. He doesn’t have the smell of other women, nor does he have the smell of those naked courtesans. Sir isn’t unsatisfied with what he has.”

The girl ignored her and prepared to enter the house.

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait, Chanchan, I have something to tell you. Second Young Miss…”

The girl stopped in her tracks. She had her back to Bai Ling and stood there, unmoving.

After hearing this, she entered the courtyard and returned to the house. However, she did not go to bed. Instead, she stood silently in the darkness in the corner of the room for a long time.

When Luo Qingzhou returned home, Xiao Die was embroidering flowers in her room. When she heard him, she immediately came out to welcome him.

Luo Qingzhou entered the house and said, “Xiao Die, sleep by yourself tonight. I have something to do, so I might have to study for the entire night. Don’t come in and disturb me.”

Although Xiao Die was puzzled, she did not probe further. She nodded and obediently returned to her room.

Luo Qingzhou closed the door and windows.

Then, he sat on the bed and was about to meditate when a thought came to him. He suddenly took off his clothes and lay under the blanket. He closed his eyes.

Now that his soul was powerful and he had already advanced to the Day Travel stage, he should be able to attain Out of Body no matter what state he was in.

He calmed his mind and focused, trying to get into the Out of Body stage.

As expected, he could easily do it. A black shadow instantly leaped out from the top of his head and landed on the roof.

First, he had to destroy the souls and take a look at the scene of the murder.

Then, he would go to that soul senior.

If he served that senior well, the other party might give him even more cultivation techniques and secret manuals. At that time, the other party might relent and agree to take him in as a disciple.

At that point, he would say, “Master, please accept my bow.”

She would reply, “Good. Today, I’ll teach you my most powerful cultivation technique. ”

“Thank you, Master. I’m willing to lay down my life for you!”

“Very good. Since you’re so loyal, I’ll impart everything I’ve learned in my life to you…

Yes, what he imagined was great and all, but…

Luo Qingzhou fantasized as he floated toward the MO River at lightning speed.

Before he got close, he saw a blood-red light from afar. It dyed a section of the riverside red as if flames were burning.

It was a team of martial artists!
