Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 14: First Young Miss

They returned to the courtyard.

The room was empty and as quiet as ever.

The eldest daughter of the Qin family was still not back.

Bai Ling looked around the room and said in puzzlement, "Strange, why isn't Young Miss back yet?"

Then, she said, "Sir, wait a moment. I'll go out and look for her."

With that, she left in a hurry.

Luo Qingzhou stood in the small courtyard. At the thought that he would be seeing his bride soon, he started to feel a little nervous.

He entered the house.

Looking at the bridal chamber he had consummated his marriage in yesterday, Luo Qingzhou could smell the residual fragrance in the air. "No matter how she looks like, I've to take responsibility for her. I mustn't despise her," he warned himself inwardly.

Of course, he had no right to despise her anyway.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Xiao Die's trembling voice suddenly came from the small courtyard outside. "Young... Young Master, come out quickly..."

Luo Qingzhou's heart pounded. He quickly straightened his clothes and walked out.

However, when he walked out of the house and saw the person who suddenly entered the small courtyard, his heart skipped a beat. He just froze, not moving a muscle. Even his heart seemed to have stopped beating.

Her clothes were as white as snow. Her black hair hung like a waterfall down her back. She was as pretty as a picture and very elegant looking.

It was the beautiful girl he had seen at the lake!

Suddenly, a cold aura charged toward him!

Behind the beautiful girl stood another girl. She was in a light green dress and holding a sword. At that moment, she was staring at him coldly.

Her name was Xia Chan, the woman who could kill with one strike.

Luo Qingzhou immediately came out of his daze. He hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, looking straight ahead. "Miss Nangong, Jianjia hasn't returned yet. Bai Ling has already gone to look for her."

Clearly, this noble guest was here to look for his newlywed wife.

He cupped his hands and lowered his head to calm himself down. His attitude was neither haughty nor humble.

Beside him, Xiao Die also lowered her head.

The atmosphere became a little tense.

The noble guest and her maidservant merely stared at him quietly without speaking. One was indifferent while the other was cold.

Luo Qingzhou felt a little restless and did not dare to say anything else.

Recalling Bai Ling's warning, Luo Qingzhou broke out in a cold sweat.

One had a bad temper, and the other could kill in a single strike. He could not afford to offend them.

"Oh, Young Miss, you're back?"

Luo Qingzhou was looking at the ground and feeling uneasy. Suddenly, Bai Ling entered the courtyard and stared at the women there with a surprised look.

For several seconds, her words did not register. Luo Qingzhou looked at Bai Ling in puzzlement.

Seeing him like this, Bai Ling immediately chuckled and said, "Sir, what are you doing? Hurry up and follow Young Miss. You still have to serve tea to Old Master and Madam."

Luo Qingzhou was stunned and still stared at her in a daze.

On the other hand, Xiao Die, who was standing beside him, was shocked. She opened her mouth and suddenly tugged at his clothes. She was trembling with excitement as she said, "Young... Young Master, this... this is Young Madam!"

Luo Qingzhou's mind went blank.

It was as if he had suddenly become a statue. Even his breathing and heartbeat stopped.

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Xiao Die, you can't call her Young Madam. That sounds so old. You have to call her Young Miss. Sir, you also can't casually address her either. You have to address her as 'First Young Miss'."

Xiao Die did not dare to disobey Bai Ling. She lowered her head and said, "Okay."

Luo Qingzhou opened his mouth and stared at the beautiful girl in front of him in disbelief.

This was his bride?

This woman, who looked like some kind of divine being, was actually his bride?

He had consummated his marriage with this woman last night?

And she was the one who initiated it?

In the future, he could sleep with her every night.

Why did this feel like a dream?

"Hmph!"

A sudden snort startled him. Immediately, Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses.

The girl named Xia Chan stared at him coldly. She seemed like she would unleash her sword from its sheath at any moment.

Luo Qingzhou gave a start and hurriedly retracted his gaze. He lowered his head and called, "First Young Miss."

Although he felt a little aggrieved, when he thought about how the beautiful girl in front of him was actually his bride, he felt that he could disregard that grievance.

The heavens were indeed good to him!

"Sir, it's time to go."

As Bai Ling spoke, Qin Jianjia had already led Xia Chan out of the small courtyard.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly followed.

Bai Ling purposely lagged a few steps behind the women and whispered to Luo Qingzhou, "Sir, don't be angry. Previously, at the lake, I saw that you were almost drooling over Young Miss, so I wanted to tease you a little. I didn't lie to you on purpose."

Luo Qingzhou did not speak, his gaze still fixed on the figure in front of him.

Bai Ling looked at him with a smile and said in a low voice, "Sir, are you happy?"

Of course, Luo Qingzhou was happy.

However, he did not dare to reply to Bai Ling.

The girl with the sword seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. The hair on the back of Luo Qingzhou's neck was standing straight up.

He did not dare to get carried away.

Luo Qingzhou tried to hide his obvious joy by putting on a serious look. Bai Ling burst out laughing to see that. However, she did not tease him anymore and quickly followed behind Qin Jianjia and Xia Chan.

"Chanchan, Sir said that I'm prettier than you."

Bai Ling went to Xia Chan's side and said proudly.

Xia Chan's expression was cold as if she did not hear Bai Ling's words.

Luo Qingzhou wondered if his mind was playing tricks on him, but he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Something was very strange.

There was no one in the Qin residence today.

During the wedding ceremony yesterday, there were maidservants and servants everywhere.

However, on their way to meet the elders of the Qin family today, not a single person could be seen.

Luo Qingzhou was puzzled. He stole a glance at the beauty in front of him and thought to himself, "Could it be because of her? That's why all of the servants had been sent away in advance?"

That should be the case.

Otherwise, if they did not deliberately keep it secret, news of Qin Jianjia's remarkable beauty and temperament would have spread throughout Mo City.

The Luo family was probably unaware of her actual looks till now.

Luo Qingzhou wondered if Luo Yu would regret reneging on their marriage agreement when he saw Qin Jianjia.

Luo Qingzhou let his mind wander. He increasingly felt that he ought to be even more diligent in his cultivation.

As the saying goes, "A man's wealth is his own ruin by incurring the greed of others".

He was merely a concubine's son and a weak scholar, yet he had such a beautiful wife.

If he did not quickly become more powerful, what awaited him was not only envy and jealousy.

"Sir, when you see Old Master and Madam later, you have to kneel down and serve tea to them. Remember to address them as 'Father' and 'Mother'."

After entering a spacious backyard, Bai Ling came over and reminded him.

Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Old Master probably won't make things difficult for you. However, Madam... She's strongly against this marriage. She might give you attitude later and might speak nastily to you. Remember to endure all that and don't retort her. Make sure to show a good attitude."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the girl in front of him and nodded. "Got it."

Bai Ling smiled sweetly, showing her dimples. With her arms extended, she fluttered like a butterfly and ran forward.
