Luo Qingzhou was a little surprised.

He did not expect Second Madam to be here today.

What was even more unexpected was that the little girl was here. She used to secretly look for him but was hurt by how heartlessly he behaved toward her.

“Qingzhou, come in quickly. You must be feeling cold, standing outside like this. Your body is still too weak.”

Luo Yu welcomed him warmly at the door.

Second Madam Yang was also full of smiles, but her tone was strange. “Qingzhou, ever since you returned home last time, you haven’t been back for more than a month. Have you forgotten about Chengguo Residence after having enjoyed your time in the Qin residence?”

Luo Xiaolou stood in a corner and looked at the young man outside the door with a complicated gaze. She did not dare to go forward.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands outside the door. He said respectfully, “Second Madam, Second Young Master.”

“We’re family. There’s no need to be so courteous. Come on in.”

Luo Yu grabbed his arm affectionately and led him to the table. He said with a smile, “I instructed the kitchen to prepare a lot of good dishes for you today. Let’s have a good gathering.”

“Thank you, Second Young Master.”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said.

Luo Yu smiled and looked at the cold girl who was still standing outside the door. He went forward, cupped his hands, and said politely, “Miss, come in and have a seat. None of you are outsiders, so there’s no need to abide by the rules.”

Xia Chan turned around and stood under the roof with her sword in her arms. She looked outside with a cold expression, completely ignoring him.

The corners of Luo Yu’s eyes twitched. He smiled and did not say anything else. He turned around and returned to the house, instructing the maidservant to serve the dishes.

“Xiaolou, didn’t you just say that you wanted to see your Brother Qingzhou?

Come over quickly.”

Luo Yu called out to the red-dressed girl standing in the corner with a smile.

Luo Xiaolou looked at her mother timidly, then at the familiar young man who felt a little foreign to her now. She took a few glances at him, but she did not see the familiar and friendly smile that he used to wear on his face.

“Xiaolou, go over and address him!”

Madam Yang said with a straight face.

Only then did Luo Xiaolou walk out from the corner and stand in front of the youth. She lowered her head and said softly, “B-Brother Qingzhou.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and nodded slightly. He had an impassive look on his face, and he did not reply.

He turned to look at the gentle and smiling man in front of him. Cupping his hands toward him, Luo Qingzhou said, “Second Young Master, I’ve already eaten in the Qin residence.”

Luo Yu pulled onto his arm and forced him to sit down. He smiled and said, “Then eat less. Treat it as accompanying me. It’s been a long time since I had such a scrumptious meal.”

Beside him, Madam Yang also smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes! He’s right. Qingzhou, it wasn’t easy for you to come back. Have a good meal with your second brother. I’ll pour some wine for you.”

As she spoke, she picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the two of them.

Luo Yu turned to look at the little girl beside him and said with a smile, “Xiaolou, sit. Let’s eat together. Sit beside your Brother Qingzhou and chat with him.”

Madam Yang hurriedly smiled and said, “Oh, Second Young Master, you don’t have to worry about her! She just ate some snacks and isn’t hungry now. You two brothers can eat. She’s just a little girl. Let her stand and pour wine for you.”

With that, she went over and stuffed the wine pot into Xiaolou’s hand. She patted the back of her head and said, “Silly girl, go stand at the side and pour wine for your brothers.”

Luo Xiaolou took the wine pot and walked behind them without saying a word.

Luo Yu smiled and did not say anything else. He raised his glass and said,

“Qingzhou, come, let me propose a toast to you first.”

Right at this moment, the cold girl who was originally standing outside the door suddenly walked in and stood behind Luo Qingzhou. She stared intently at the wine glass in his hand.

Luo Yu stared at her in bewilderment. After a short pause, he suddenly understood what she wanted. He smiled and finished the wine in his wine glass in one gulp. Then, he said to Madam Yang, “Second Mother, have a drink too and taste the food.’

Madam Yang was a smart person, so she immediately understood. She threw a glance at the sword-wielding girl and complained under her breath. Then, she went over and picked up the glass of wine placed in front of Luo Qingzhou, drinking it in one gulp.

Following that, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a little of each dish on the table, and ate it.

She finished eating and was about to raise her head to mock her, but the sword-wielding girl had already walked out of the door and was standing under the roof again. She was as cold as ice and did not move.

“Tsk, how petty! ”

Madam Yang pouted and put down her bowl and chopsticks.

“Xiaolou, pour the wine.”

She took a new wine glass from the maidservant and placed it in front of Luo Qingzhou.

Luo Xiaolou stepped forward and carefully filled the wine cup.

“Qingzhou, go ahead.”

Luo Yu picked up his wine glass and smiled at him.

Luo Qingzhou also raised his glass.

They both drained their glasses.

Madam Yang picked up some food for them and smiled. “Qingzhou, how are you doing at the Qin residence? Are you staying with First Young Miss Qin?” The sword-wielding girl under the roof outside turned her pretty face slightly.

“I’m doing quite well there.”

Luo Qingzhou looked down at the food in his bowl and said indifferently.

Madam Yang looked at Luo Yu beside him and smiled. “That First Young Miss Qin…

At this point, she lowered her voice and said, “There’s no problem, right? I’ve heard that she can’t speak or smile… Is that true?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment.

Madam Yang smiled and said, “Qingzhou, we’re all on the same side. Chengguo Residence is your home. You need not keep anything from us! If you feel wronged, you can tell me.”

At the side, Luo Yu had a smile on his face and did not say anything..
