Chapter 81 Qu's Mother (1) [VIP]

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I don't mean to embarrass you. Seeing him so happy, I feel at peace for the rest of my life."

After a moment of silence and thought, Qu's mother narrowed her eyes slightly, a sly look flashing across them. "If you're ever bullied in the future, you can come here and file a complaint. I'll stand by you and teach him a lesson."

"I always see him scolding students, but you've never seen him being scolded, have you?" The woman winked at her and asked, as if hinting at something, "Do you want to see it for yourself?"

"Yes." She answered without thinking.

When she answered, she realized that it was too offensive and she suddenly felt anxious.

Calmly correcting herself, Chu Qingluo replied with a faint smile, her words even softer: "I mean... the master treats me well and has never bullied me. Thank you, madam, for your kindness."

"You still call me Madam?" Qu's mother frowned suddenly when she heard the name, and looked at her with pretended displeasure, wanting to hear what she had to say next.

First she was brought to this house in confusion, and then forced to recognize a mother. She suddenly felt that her husband was the most cunning one.

Pursing her lips, Chu Qingluo smiled sweetly: "Thank you, mother."

Qu's mother peered out the long window, her eyes catching sight of the elegant figure in the courtyard. She said firmly, "Look at him pacing back and forth in the courtyard. He appears calm and composed, but he's panicking inside."

"Sir, that's indeed the case..." Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluo smiled softly with her hands covering her lips. It is true that no one knows a son better than his mother.

"Go find him quickly. I'll go cook a delicious meal."

Looking at the time, it was almost lunch time, so Qu's mother hurriedly got up and asked her to wait in the dining hall.

Walking back into the hall, the gentleman also came out from the garden. She was charming and smiled at him.

When the master approached, she spoke calmly, standing obediently by the wall instead of sitting at the table: "Mother has gone to the kitchen, and asked the master to wait in the hall."

Seeing that he seemed to be perceptibly worried and uneasy, she pretended to be mysterious and asked with a smile, "Sir, don't you want to know what my mother said to me?"

"I can probably guess it." After a few moments of silence, Qu Hanjin walked to her side and walked side by side with her leisurely.

He was clearly very concerned, yet he pretended to know everything... Qu's mother's words were still ringing in her ears, and she smiled quietly to herself, not exposing him.

Chu Qingluo thought about it, looked at the puzzled look on the master's face, and said in a low voice, "She said that if you dare to bully me, she will... teach you a lesson."

"Did my mother really say that?"

Hearing this, his brows furrowed even tighter. He glanced sideways and saw the delicate figure beside him, her brows dancing with joy, as if she had accidentally found someone to support her.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask for yourself." He approached her with interest like a cat. Only then did she decide to bring him to justice. She turned around and snuggled into his arms, climbing onto his shoulder and whispering softly.

"I haven't even agreed to this marriage yet, sir, how could you take the liberty of bringing me here..."

Qu Hanjin stared deeply, then snorted coldly and whispered in her ear, "This is the only way to make it a foregone conclusion. You shouldn't... but you have to agree."

Why is the gentleman resorting to such despicable tactics...

There was no point in trying to reason with this hypocrite. She wanted to retreat back to her original position, but she realized he had already grasped her slender waist tightly, making it difficult to retreat. "Master always teaches us to convince others with reason, but you yourself are so unreasonable."

"If you keep talking about reason, Qingluo might run away."

He looked at her closely, and the emotions in his eyes seemed to want to devour her, and he wanted to prevent anyone from touching her.

Seeing that the maids inside and outside the dining hall were all looking at this place, Chu Qingluo's ears turned red and she whispered: "Master, you have always been bright and clear. How can you learn from those shameless people and act like a scoundrel..."

If she were in the side hall of the Music Department, she wouldn't be so embarrassed, but now she was in Qu's mother's house. How many people would laugh at her...

Sir, you are a man who knows etiquette and should know that you should not do that here.

But the gentleman really ignored the eyes of others and suddenly pushed her to the corner of the wall. He touched her rosy face with his cool jade fingers and kissed her in broad daylight.

"I can be even more shameless..."

"Hmm..." She panicked for some reason. After all, Qu's mother was still cooking in a corner of the courtyard and could be back at any moment. "Mother is still in the kitchen..."

The words that followed were silenced by his thin lips.

Her delicate body was trapped in the corner. Although the young man in front of her was dressed in a cool and pure manner, his aura gradually became hot. She was in a trance for a few moments, and when she recalled the scene of kissing the gentleman by the palace road, she felt that it had become a habit.

No, how can we let him do whatever he wants? This is Qu's mother's house...

She was kissed unconscious and put her hands on his shoulders, trying to stop him, but he held her tighter.

The maids on both sides of the dining hall were stunned. They never knew that Master Qu could be so affectionate.

Her cheeks flushed a few shades of red as she responded delicately, unable to find a solution. She felt as if her clothes were about to be torn off her shoulders.

A turbid color surged in her clear eyes. Qu Han spoke in a hoarse voice, answering her earlier concerns: "My mother doesn't cook often. It takes her an hour every time. She won't be back in the hall for the time being."

nor……

Besides, there are many maids here, and if any one of them reveals a few words, Qu's mother will know everything clearly.

Chu Qingluo half-heartedly gave in, and only then did the blush on her face subside.

She stayed quietly in Qinghuai, listening to her husband whisper, "Also, my mother's cooking is bland. If you're not used to it, I'll make a few side dishes later."

Recalling how Qu's mother had just enthusiastically gone to the kitchen, she thought that what she had done would be hard to swallow after listening to the teacher's euphemisms.

"Hmm?" She raised her eyes slightly and happened to meet his gaze. His deep eyes only reflected her delicate face.

He seemed to have vented the emotions that had accumulated over the past few months bit by bit, and was unwilling to let her leave him even a step away.

Qu Hanjin looked down at her slightly swollen lips, which were so delicate and tempting that it really made people have evil thoughts.

Restraining some of his desire, he gently held her in his arms, stroking her black hair with his slender white fingers, and said after a while.

"Qingluo...I am very happy."

"Why are you so happy, sir?" He was indeed happy today. Even people who didn't understand his character could see that he was happy. She thought for a moment, still thinking that her revenge was still undecided and she couldn't have any other thoughts.

He only said one word, and the rest was hidden in silence.

"Lovesickness is endless, only our hearts know it."

Sitting back at the dining table, Chu Qingluo drank a few cups of tea with the master. She only felt that the maids around her were looking at her from time to time.

Thinking of her disrespectful behavior with her husband, her ears blushed.

She continued to drink her tea with her head down, and finally when Qu's mother brought the jade plate to the table, she felt that she was back on track and could have a few bites of lunch.

However, it was not as smooth as she expected.

When all the dishes were served, Qu's mother sat happily on the stool. She felt that the mansion had not been so lively for a long time, and she gently called out to the two of them to start eating.

"The food is ready, you can come and have your meal." Qu's mother suddenly muttered something, raised her sleeve and called for the graceful figure to come over.

"Son, come here. Before we eat, I want to ask you something."

Qu Hanjin was confused. He walked over gracefully and asked respectfully, "What do you want to ask, mother?"

"You bully Qingluo a lot every day, don't you?" Her beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold, and Qu's mother's expression changed slightly, and her voice became stern, "Qingluo has told me everything, don't try to deny it!"

"Mother..." He became even more confused and glanced at Jiaose beside him unconsciously, wondering what she had said to his mother.

Even Chu Qingluo had not expected this scene. She suddenly remembered the scolding that Qu's mother had just given her, and it turned out to be like this.

His expression seemed even more serious than Mr. Qu's usual when teaching. Sitting upright at the desk, Qu's mother winked at Shuying, standing to one side, and sternly shouted, "Don't try to quibble! You teach this and that all day long, but your mind is occupied only by books and the zither. Have you ever considered Qingluo?"

Speaking of self-reflection, the only thing he disagreed with was her idea a few months ago. Qu Han never expected that she would be waiting here, being teased and speechless.

"I did...but that..."

He uttered a few words vaguely, then felt powerless to refute, and spoke incoherently, his words no longer forming a complete sentence.

"I really did bully you..." Mother Qu was so disappointed after hearing this that she knocked on the table with her fingers, her face turning serious. "Qingluo didn't say a word. That was just my test!"

Chu Qingluo was also stunned when she saw the scene. She had never thought that the dignified and elegant Qu's mother would behave like this when teaching her son a lesson...

"I see that you read countless books. You should recite the entire volumes you have read recently in front of me, otherwise I will not eat lunch." After saying this, Qu's mother slammed the table again, turned her head away angrily and no longer looked at him.

In this situation, regardless of whether you carry it or not, you must feel ashamed...

She hurriedly took a cup of tea and handed it to Qu's mother, then gestured to the teacher: "Don't be angry, mother. Come and have some tea. The teacher will recite it."

Although she seemed to be trying to please Qu's mother, she did have selfish motives.

She had never heard of a gentleman being punished, let alone witnessed it herself. How could she miss such a great opportunity...

Gently taking the teacup, Qu's mother pretended to be sad and wiped her eyes, moving closer to the beautiful figure: "A son has grown up and is no longer under the control of his mother. It is better for Qingluo to be considerate of him..."

The two figures at the desk were singing in unison, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them. Qu Hanjin finally compromised, cleared his throat, and wanted to pick a book to recite.

"Don't get yourself sick from being angry, mother. Just carry me on your back."

He frowned helplessly and recited it out loud, causing the maids around him to cover their lips and laugh.

"Qingluo came and sat next to mother." She patted the wooden chair beside her very gently. Fearing that she would feel distressed, Qu's mother explained softly, "He has always had a photographic memory since he was a child. This punishment will not be a problem for him."

Now, Chu Qingluo looked at this scene with particular satisfaction, pretending to be serious, but secretly laughing in her heart.

Although no one in the mansion dared to laugh, everyone knew what was going on. She had been suppressing her laughter for so long that she didn't even taste her lunch properly.

After bidding farewell to Qu's mother, she walked out of the mansion and was already two alleys away. She lowered her eyes and laughed out loud, which attracted the attention of Mr. Dan Ya, who felt troubled.

Chu Qingluo quickly stopped laughing and whispered, "This is the first time I've seen the master being scolded..."

The memory of being scolded by his mother lingered in his mind. Qu Hanjin coughed again and asked her pleadingly, "Qingluo, can you please forget what happened just now?"
