The fish was stupid.

It was as if it had never seen a human before. After seeing him, not only did it not escape, but it even opened his mouth to kiss him.

Luo Qingzhou stuffed a finger into its open mouth and threw it aside.

Luo Qingzhou deduced that since the fish was fine inside, there should not be any monsters or great danger hidden inside.

He hesitated for a moment before swimming in.

At first, he could only crawl and swim. After more than 10 meters, the passageway suddenly became wider.

Moreover, the lake water inside gradually decreased.

Luo Qingzhou stood up and cautiously walked deeper into the passageway.

The passageway became wider and wider. Even though he was standing, there was still some space above his head.

The lake water on the ground had already begun to disappear. The stones above his head were glowing weakly.

After walking for dozens of meters, another path suddenly appeared beside him.

The ground was a little damp, and it was filled with messy stones and soil.

There was a broken stone door on the right side of the path.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before walking over.

When he reached the stone door, he realized that there was a spacious stone room about 100 square meters inside.

There were stone stools, stone tables, stone beds, and many statues of animals in the stone room.

However, many of the statues had already shattered. Stones were scattered all over the ground, and the place was in a mess. In the corner, there were two wooden dummies.

The wooden dummy was unscathed.

Luo Qingzhou walked closer and suddenly punched one of the wooden dummies.

BANG!

A fist that could even crack the tree trunk outside hit the wooden dummy, but the wooden dummy only made a low muffled sound. It was unscathed.

It was unknown what kind of wood this wooden dummy was made of, but it was very tough.

Moreover, when his fist hit it, it was different from hitting a hard rock. There seemed to be a trace of elasticity on it as if it could absorb his strength.

Luo Qingzhou observed for a while but could not find any clues. He looked around the entire stone room and did not find anything else.

After leaving the stone room, he walked on the main path and continued forward. Suddenly, a three-way fork appeared in front of him.

However, the front of every path seemed to be blocked by collapsed rocks.

Luo Qingzhou walked closer to one of the passageways. Just as he was observing the stones blocking the way, he suddenly realized that he was stepping on something hard.

Looking down, he realized that it was a piece of white bone.

The white bones were slightly bent and did not look like human bones.

When he lowered his head to check, he realized that a few more skeletons had appeared in the corner. They were all animal skeletons.

“Strange, why did the animals come underground?’

Moreover, these skeletons did not look like ordinary animals. Their bones were thick, their fangs were like knives, and their claws were very sharp and long.

Could it be a demon beast?

From the looks of it, these bones had been here for many years. Some of them had already turned into powder.

Luo Qingzhou observed for a while but could not figure it out.

The road ahead was blocked again, and he could not continue forward.

He retreated again and went to the entrance of the other two passageways to take a look. He found many bones of unknown animals on the ground.

Their entrances were also blocked.

“What kind of place was this in the past? Why were there so many secret passages and so many bones?’

“And it was actually at the bottom of the lake?’

“These secret passages were hidden deep in the lake. Where did they lead to?’

Luo Qingzhou thought to himself and suddenly had an idea.

At the bottom of the lake?

Lake?

He suddenly recalled the lake in the Chengguo Residence.

The lake in the Chengguo Residence and the lake in the Qin Residence were both warm all year round. The mist was dense, and there were lotus flowers. The area seemed to be similar. However, there was no pavilion there, and no one cared about it.

Could there be a connection between the two lakes?

Could it be that this underground tunnel ran through the entire streets of MO City, connecting two lakes and two mansions, and even connecting to other places?

If that was the case, did the masters of the two families know?

Luo Qingzhou was filled with questions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two lakes and the secret passage at the bottom of the lake were extraordinary.

However, he did not dare to stay any longer.

Xiao Die was still waiting upstairs.

He looked around again. Seeing that there was nothing useful, he immediately walked out of the passageway and entered the lake. He quickly swam up.

Whoosh!

When he saw the two snow-white and slender legs of a young girl underwater, he suddenly floated up.

Xiao Die was worried and in a daze. When she saw him suddenly appear in front of her, she covered her mouth in shock.

“Young Master! You scared me to death,” she exclaimed.

Xiao Die whimpered and opened her arms, throwing herself into his arms. She said with a sobbing tone, “Young Master, you’ve been down for so long. I thought… I thought you wouldn’t be able to come up.”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat when he was hugged by her delicate and smooth body. He quickly pried her arms away and said, “I’m fine. I held my breath for a long time, but I didn’t find any fish.”

“Young Master…”

“What’s wrong?” Luo Qingzhou asked.

“I want to…”

“You want to pee? Or do you want to eat fish?”

“It’s none of that. I-I want to…

The little girl’s face was red and hot. Her delicate and smooth body seemed to have lost its strength. She pressed herself against his chest and trembled slightly.

“Dream on!”

Luo Qingzhou picked her up and quickly walked to the shore. He placed her on the shore and said angrily, “I told you to wait for another year. What’s the hurry?”

The little girl was naked. She crossed her slender and straight legs and did not try to cover herself up. She stood there and said with a red face, “Young Master, then… then we can do it next year?”

Luo Qingzhou went ashore and threw the dress on her. He put on his clothes and said perfunctorily, “Yes, next year.”

“Young Master, you have to keep your word. Next year!”

Xiao Die immediately put on her clothes happily.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. He looked at her and felt that something was wrong.

After Xiao Die put on her clothes, she suddenly opened her arms and hugged his arm tightly. She looked up and giggled shyly. “Young Master, the new year is in a month. A gentleman’s word cannot be taken back. Young Master, you can’t lie!”

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.

On the way back.

Luo Qingzhou could not help but ask, “Xiao Die, what exactly are you learning from Xiao Tao and Qiu’er every day?”

“Embroidery, flute playing, guzheng, and dancing.”

“Is that all?”

“And…’

“What else?”

“That’s it…”

Luo Qingzhou scoffed.

“Young Master, what do you mean by that?” “What that means is that I know you’re a liar.”

Young Master, I didn’t!”

The master and servant chatted all the way back to the small courtyard. “Young Master, if you let me hug and kiss you, I’ll tell you. Okay?”

“There’s no need. I can already think of what is it.”

“Huh?” Xiao Die said.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m going to pay my respects to them.”

Luo Qingzhou changed his clothes and went out.

Xiao Die’s face was red as she muttered to herself in the room, “Young Master, do you know? Do you know that I’m learning those… those… it’s so embarrassing, so embarrassing!”

When Luo Qingzhou passed by the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he only took a glance and did not stop.

He decided to pay his respects to his mother-in-law first before returning to pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin. At the same time, he wanted to talk to Bai Ling.

When he arrived at his mother-in-law’s residence, he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Mei’er led him into the hall.

Song Ruyue sat on the chair and looked at him coldly with a straight face.

“Luo Qingzhou! How dare you!”

Without waiting for him to bow and pay his respects, Song Ruyue began to reprimand him sternly. “What story did you tell Weimo today? Who asked you to tell her such a shameless story? That’s your sister-in-law, and she’s considered your younger sister! As a brother-in-law and a scholar, how can you tell such a dirty story that goes against morality and etiquette? What are your intentions?”

Luo Qingzhou bowed and lowered his head. Just as he was about to explain, he heard her say, “Tell me! Tell me everything about the Romance of the West Chamber that you told Weimo today! I want to hear what’s so magical about this despicable story that Weimo is listening to it with relish!”

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.

“Are you mute? I told you to tell me, did you hear me? Tell me immediately!” Song Ruyue slammed the table and glared at him.

Luo Qingzhou could only lower his head and say, “Yes, Mother-in-law.”

He could only repeat the Romance of the West Chamber that he had told Second Young Miss Qin in the morning.

This time, he was more careful, he did not dare to deceive his mother-in-law like he did to Miss Chanchan.

He lowered his head and explained carefully.

“After a few twists and turns, Zhang Sheng finally married Yingying and lived happily with her. They even gave birth to a few chubby boys and a few beautiful daughters…”

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a while.

When he looked up, Song Ruyue slammed the table and shouted angrily, “It’s indeed a dirty story! A private meeting between a man and a woman and even a private engagement! You have no respect for your elders. How dare you lead my daughter astray! Luo Qingzhou, how dare you!”

Then, she said angrily, “Mei’er! Bring him to my backyard! As punishment, he must loosen the soil for two hours!”

“Yes, Madam.”

Mei’er immediately replied respectfully and walked to Luo Qingzhou’s side.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Mei’er grabbed his arm and brought him away. She said in a low voice, “Sir, don’t argue.” Luo Qingzhou could only shut up and follow her to the backyard.

Not long after the two of them left, Song Ruyue immediately stood up and walked to the door of the side room. She lifted the bead curtain and walked in.

She asked anxiously, “Have you noted everything down?”

An old man with white hair was sitting at the desk. He was holding a brush and writing on a piece of paper quickly. He ignored her.

After a long while, he put down his brush and could not help but sigh. “Good literary talent! What a good story!”

Song Ruyue said angrily, “Did you memorize everything?”

Only then did that elderly man react. He stood up and cupped his hands. “Madam, I’ve noted everything down. It doesn’t matter if I miss a few sentences. I’ve read all kinds of books, but I’ve never heard such a story. I’m afraid Sir wrote it himself. Sir’s talent is unfathomable! Congratulations, Madam. The Qin residence has picked up a huge bargain!”

Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said, “Stop flattering me! Let me ask you, can this story compare to Fragrant Boudoir? Can I bring it out to gain some prestige among my friends?”

The teacher hurriedly said, “Yes! Definitely! This story is much better than Fragrant Boudoir, but.. “But what? Speak!”

Song Ruyue frowned.

The old man lowered his head and cupped his hands. “However, Sir didn’t tell the entire story. There were some ambiguous scenes between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying. It should be even more exciting than Fragrant Boudoir. It’s just that… it’s just that Sir avoided it because of Second Young Miss and Madam’s identity as women. What a pity.”

Song Ruyue’s eyes flashed and a look of contemplation appeared on her face.

At this moment.

In the back garden, Luo Qingzhou was digging in the flowerbed with a hoe when a surprised and childish voice suddenly sounded from the side. “Brother!”

Then, another surprised voice sounded. “Brother! It’s that brother! It’s really him!”

Luo Qingzhou was stunned and turned around.

Two figures, one tall and one short, ran over excitedly.

They were holding flower pots.

There was a little boy and a little girl. They looked to be only seven or eight years old.

The two of them ran close and immediately put down the flower pot in their hands. They looked at him excitedly and pleasantly surprised.

Luo Qingzhou was dumbfounded.. “You are…”
