Chapter 581
The front yard of Qin Mansion.
Everyone in the Qin family has arrived in a hurry.
In the small courtyard, the lights are brightly lit.
More than a dozen burly government officials, who were about to wear sabers every month, stood solemnly in the middle of the courtyard under the leadership of a young official.
The young official held the Qin family's household registration book. Every time he read a name, someone would walk out of the crowd and stand on the other side.
"Qinger!"
"Meier!"
"Lark!"
After reading the names of everyone in the Qin family, he counted them carefully, then looked at Song Ruyue, who was surrounded by everyone in the Qin family, and said, "Mrs. Qin, except Master Qin, everyone in the Qin family is here. Is it here?"
Song Ruyue frowned and nodded, saying, "They're all here."
Then he asked again: "Sir, when can my master come back?"
The young official looked at the list in his hand again and said calmly: "Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. At this time, no matter it is the outer city or the inner city, as long as there is no one staying in their respective homes, no matter who they are, they will Arrest her for questioning, Mrs. Qin, don’t worry."
Song Ruyue said with worry on her face: "Sir, what happened?"
The young official raised his eyes, looked at her solemnly and said: "Uncle Zhongwu's house was wiped out, including the most beloved Commander of the Imperial Guards, who was also slaughtered. So tonight, no matter whether it is the outer city or the inner city, every household , we all need to check one by one. Mrs. Qin, are you sure there is no one else in the house?"
When Song Ruyue heard the news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face turned pale: "It's true... sure. Sir, the Uncle Zhongwu Mansion you are talking about is... Luo Yannian and his family?"
The young official nodded, and then ordered the government servant behind him: "Go and search, don't miss any place. But remember, don't damage anything in Mrs. Qin's house."
"Yes, sir!"
All the government officials immediately rushed to the backyard.
Everyone in the Qin family stayed where they were, as silent as cicadas.
Song Ruyue froze there, her face turned pale, and she was dumbfounded.
Although she wished that Luo Yannian's family would die soon, she was inevitably shocked and horrified when she suddenly heard that the other party had been exterminated, and even Luo Changtian, the most favored person around the Holy Emperor, had also been killed.
How could such a terrible thing happen under the emperor's feet, and in the inner city?
Who is it that has such incredible courage and ability?
She couldn't help but tremble all over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Sir... Sir, who is so cruel? Do you know the murderer? Will the murderer come out to kill again?"
Seeing that she was very frightened, the young official comforted her: "Don't worry, Mrs. Qin. The whole city is now under martial law and the imperial army has been dispatched. If the villain dares to show up, he will be captured."
Song Ruyue said quickly: "Sir, why don't you send a few people to guard the alley outside? In case the murderer suddenly appears, and my master is not here, you won't be able to come over in time."
The young official cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Qin, please forgive me, I have to search the next house later. There will be officers and soldiers patrolling the streets outside, so there is no need for Mrs. Qin to worry too much."
Song Ruyue was still frightened, and when she was about to speak again, Miss Qin Er on the side stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeve.
Not long after, the government officials who searched the mansion came back.
"Replying to your lord, there is no one else in the house!"
The officials replied.
The young official nodded, said nothing more, and left in a hurry with the officials.
The front yard of Qin Mansion suddenly became quiet.
After a moment, Song Ruyue said in a trembling voice: "Wei Mo, tell me, how could something like this happen in the inner city under the emperor's feet? Although Luo Yannian and his family deserved to die, so did the murderer. It would be terrible. If he accidentally slipped into our house, your father and second brother would not be here..."
When the servant girls heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.
Second Miss Qin comforted her softly: "Mom, it's okay. Isn't there Xia Chan at home? Housekeeper Zhou and Qing'er can also do some boxing and kicking."
Bai Ling immediately said crisply: "Madam, don't be afraid, Bai Ling can also do martial arts."
As he spoke, he held his little pink fist, shouted "Ha" in his mouth, punched out, and said: "Little Bailing's fist is not a vegetarian!"
Song Ruyue frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately decided: "We can't live separately tonight. In this way, Weimo, Jianjia and I will live at your place, and the others will squeeze in and live in the small courtyard next door. We have Xia Chan is guarding the others. Butler Zhou and Qing'er are guarding them. We will make other plans when the master comes back tomorrow."
There are not many people in the Qin Mansion. Including the servants, there are only fifteen people in total. There are also a few in the shops in the inner city. Two small courtyards are enough to accommodate them.
As soon as this was said, no one else had any objections.
Second Miss Qin wanted to speak, but seeing the frightened and worried look on her face, she had no choice but to give up.
The group of people went to tidy up and went to the small courtyard at the back.
Song Ruyue took Miss Qin with her left hand and Miss Qin with her right hand, leading Bailing Xiachan, Qiuer Zhuer and Xiaodie, and Luo Qingzhou into the Meixiang Garden.
Everyone else went to another small courtyard.
There were lanterns hung all over the house and they dared not be extinguished. The front and back doors were not only locked, but also blocked with objects.
Meixiang Garden has only four rooms in total.
After Song Ruyue led her two daughters into the house, she thought for a moment and began to make arrangements: "Jianjia and Weimo and I will sleep in the same room. Xia Chan, Bai Ling, and Zhu'er will sleep in the same room. The remaining room, What do you think, Qingzhou, Xiaodie, and Qiu'er sleep?"
Pearl immediately said: "Madam, the beds in our two rooms are too small, not enough to sleep three people. How about I sleep with the madam and the young lady? There is a beauty couch there, and I can sleep on the couch." Always at your service, Madam and Lady."
Song Ruyue looked at her and asked, "Is the bed small? Then how do Qingzhou, Qiu'er, and Xiaodie sleep every time?"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became silent.
Xiaodie immediately lowered her head and blushed.
Qiu'er also lowered his head.
When Luo Qingzhou saw that several people were looking over him, he quickly said: "Mother-in-law, Xiaodie and I will sleep in the Immortal Residence. In this way, you will have more space and sleep more comfortably."
Song Ruyue immediately objected: "No! It doesn't matter if something happens to others. If something happens to you, how do you want me to explain it to the master, Wei Mo, and the ancestors of the Qin family? You are going to be the top scholar next year. For the sake of our Qin family, we cannot make any mistakes."
Luo Qingzhou said awkwardly: "Mother-in-law, if you want to be the number one scholar, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult..."
Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "You haven't even taken the exam yet, and you don't have confidence yet? You have to set your ambitions further. With your talent, even if you don't get the top prize in the exam, the second place and the top prize are still nothing to you?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Miss Qin Er chuckled from the side and said, "Brother Qingzhou, mother has great confidence in you."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said nothing.
Song Ruyue looked at him a few more times, then looked at the others, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, Xia Chan and Bai Ling sleep together, Zhu'er, Xiaodie and Qiu'er, the three of you sleep together. As for Qing Zhou, come and sleep in our room."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou was startled, raised his head and looked at her.
Everyone else was also shocked.

Second Miss Qin smiled and said, "Mom, you can't speak clearly. You scared Brother Qingzhou."
Then he smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou, my mother means to let you go to our room and sleep on the couch, so that she can feel at ease."
Song Ruyue glanced at her and said, "Isn't that what I meant? Are you overthinking it? Our mother and daughter sleep together, how could I let him sleep on the bed? What are you thinking about all day long? "
Everyone lowered their heads and suppressed laughter.
"Okay, come into the room quickly. Weimo, I still have something to talk to you about."
Song Ruyue didn't say anything more and walked towards the room.
Qiu'er immediately went over, opened the door, and helped her take off her shoes.
Song Ruyue, wearing snow-white socks, walked into the room, turned to look at the sisters and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Come in."
Then he looked at Luo Qingzhou and saw the serious and worried look on his son-in-law's face. He immediately smiled and said, "Qingzhou, why are you so shy? Come in quickly. There is a bead curtain blocking the back room. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me?" Mother-in-law and your sister-in-law, can't they spy on you?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh again.
Everyone else laughed too.
Bai Ling didn't mind watching the excitement, and pushed him with a smile on his face: "Uncle, come in quickly, my wife and my lady will not peek at you, but you can't peek at them either. If you want to peek, just I can only peek at the second lady."
As soon as this was said, everyone else laughed again.
Luo Qingzhou was pushed to the door of the room.
Qiu'er knelt down, took off his shoes for him, and replied with a smile: "Uncle, come in quickly, and I'll go get you the quilt."
Luo Qingzhou saw that Miss Qin and Miss Qin were looking behind him, and his mother-in-law in the room was also smiling and staring at him, so he had no choice but to lower his head and walk in and go to the couch.
"Sister, let's go in too."
At this time, Miss Qin also pulled Miss Qin and took off her shoes into the room.
Miss Qin Er took a look at her shoes and asked in a low voice: "Sister, don't you like those shoes? Why aren't you wearing them?"
Miss Qin was silent for a moment and said, "Keep it in the cabinet."
Miss Qin Er asked again: "Does sister like it?"
Miss Qin didn't answer and walked to the back room.
Song Ruyue opened the bead curtain, and after she entered, she pulled down the curtains on both sides of the wall to separate the outside from the inside. Then she stood inside and said, "Qingzhou, take a look, can you see us? "
Luo Qingzhou took a look and could vaguely see her figure, and said: "Can't see."
Song Ruyue smiled and said: "You can't see us, and I can't see you either. So don't worry, go to bed quickly, you have to get up to study tomorrow morning. You are the hardest worker in the entire Qin Mansion. You can't leave the door every day without taking a step. Study hard at home, we all will depend on you in the future."
Luo Qingzhou got on the couch and said, "My mother-in-law has to run around every day for business in the store, which is very hard."
Song Ruyue sighed, walked to the bed, and while untying her clothes, she said, "We need money for food and drink at home. Although we brought some money from Mocheng, we can't just sit back and have nothing."
Luo Qingzhou glanced inside and quickly looked away. When he saw Qiu'er coming in with a quilt in his arms, he immediately said, "Qiu'er, go blow out the oil lamps and candles."
The lights were on in the inner room. He could clearly see the figure inside taking off clothes, and he could vaguely see the color of the clothes, which was very embarrassing.
Qiu'er put down the quilt and was about to go in to blow out the lights, but Song Ruyue hurriedly said, "No, sleep with the lights on tonight. Qiu'er, you should also hang lanterns on the corridor outside the house. You must be careful tonight and can't be careless at all."
Seeing this, Qiu'er had to agree, glanced at her son-in-law, and retreated.
She naturally saw the graceful figure printed on the curtain, but she didn't dare to remind him.
Luo Qingzhou didn't take off his clothes. He lay down on the couch, covered himself with a quilt, and closed his eyes.
The sound of taking off clothes came clearly from the inner room again.
Luo Qingzhou covered his ears.
After a while.
The mother and daughter all went to bed.
Song Ruyue suddenly asked again: "Qingzhou, what is your impression of your elder brother?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, the elder brother is mature and steady, and he is a man who can do great things."
Song Ruyue sighed and said: "Your elder brother has changed a little from before. It seems that he doesn't care much about the people at home. He only thinks about being loyal to the country..."
Miss Qin Er said: "Mother, men should be like this. Didn't Dad teach the elder brother since he was a child that he should serve the country when he grows up?"
Song Ruyue said: "That was in the past. Now... Alas, it's hard to say."
There was silence in the room for a while.
Song Ruyue suddenly asked again: "Qingzhou, when are you going to have a child?"
Miss Qin Er immediately whispered: "Mother, why are you asking these questions? Wei Mo's body..."
Song Ruyue said: "Mother is not asking you to have one. Xiaodie and Qiu'er, aren't they both OK? The house is so quiet all day, and one more child will definitely be lively."
Miss Qin Er said: "Then mother can urge the eldest and second brothers to have one."
Song Ruyue sighed again: "I can't count on them, it's good enough to get married. Especially your second brother, he doesn't even want a maid in the room, and he has no expression when he sees a woman. Mother suspects him... Ahem, I won't say anything, I get angry when I mention him."
The mother and daughter talked, and Miss Qin said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. He quietly took out the communication treasure from the quilt, replied to Zhu Yan, and sent a message to Linghu Qingzhu, asking her about Sister Dao.
Then, he sent another message to Sister Yue: [Sister Yue, what are you doing? It's very dangerous outside, don't go out. Are there any soldiers searching your house? ]
After the message was sent, Linghu Qingzhu quickly replied: [The person has been received. Your senior sister's father is seriously injured, but I can cure him. I have hidden them. By the way, let me tell you that your senior sister is very worried about you and wants you to come to the sect. If you come, I will pick you up.]
When Luo Qingzhou was replying to the message, Song Ruyue's voice came from the inner room: "Jianjia, what are you doing? Why are you sleeping on that side? Don't you like sleeping with mother and Wei Mo?"
Miss Qin's voice sounded faintly: "I like to sleep alone."
Song Ruyue didn't say anything else, just sighed softly.
After Luo Qingzhou replied to Linghu Qingzhu, he replied to Zhu Yan.
At this time, Sister Yue's message came back: [Sleeping, what about you? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [I was sleeping too]
This time, the message was quickly replied.
Sister Yue: [With your wife? ]
Luo Qingzhou decided to tease her: [In addition to my wife, there is also my beautiful sister-in-law, where are the two sisters?]
Sister Yue did not reply again.
