Chapter 337: Cutting Wrists
In this way, Lu Qin became Xu Zhou's roommate without knowing what was going on.
I was so confused that I had skin contact with him.
However, when she was deeply in love and in a daze, he suddenly said something, but unfortunately his voice was too vague and she didn't hear it clearly.
When she asked, he just said it was nothing and continued to drag her into oblivion.
No one in the mansion was surprised that Lu Qin became Xu Zhou's concubine.
Especially the maids serving in Xu Zhou's yard.
However, after she became Xu Zhou's roommate, the way those people looked at her became more and more strange, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Whenever she wanted to ask in detail, they always said she was overthinking it.
Ever since she became Xu Zhou's aunt, Xu Zhou seemed to treat her more gently.
Whenever he saw her coming over to grind ink, he would put down his pen with a smile, and his gentle eyes would fall on her without fail, "No need to grind ink, come here, I'll teach you how to write."
Lu Qin was a little flattered.
For someone born like her, being able to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear is already the greatest blessing in life. She dared not even think about things like reading and writing.
But today, Xu Zhou actually taught her these.
Lu Qin's eyes were a little red, and she nodded with a sob.
Xu Zhou couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. He raised his hand and touched the top of her head. Her hair was smoother than before, as smooth as silk. "Why are you crying again?"
Lu Qin shook her head and wiped away the tears from her face with a smile, "I'm just happy."
Now that she was no longer a slave, she should be able to address Xu Zhou as "I". She looked up with her eyes filled with stars, and looked at Xu Zhou with tears of gratitude, "Young Master treats me so well."
"You saved my life, gave me a place to live and clothes to wear, and now you're teaching me how to read and write."
"I must have done something great in my previous life, so that I could meet someone as good as the young master in this life."
Hearing such silly words, Xu Zhou smiled even more. She clearly had a smart face, but she was not smart at all in what she said and did.
"Does this make you burst into tears of gratitude?"
He said gently, "Now that you are my roommate, it's okay for me to teach you these things when I have nothing to do. It's just to pass the time anyway."
He just wanted to kill time when he had nothing to do, but for traveling, it was a rare opportunity that he must seize.
She didn't have many opportunities in her life to read and practice calligraphy.
Now that Xu Zhou actually gave it to her, she must study hard and never let Xu Zhou down.
Lu Qin had never been to school or received any enlightenment when she was young. It was a bit difficult for Xu Zhou to teach her, and she also had some difficulty learning.
But Lu Qin just felt happy.
She can endure the hardship of studying.
In this world, there is no suffering easier than studying.
When she was young, she was busy with her life and followed her parents around on the sea. She also sincerely envied those students who could sit in school and study well.
She thought at the time that it would be great if she could sit there and read like them, without having to ask about anything else and just need to read the book well.
She just didn't expect that the naive idea that was nothing more than a daydream to her when she was little would actually become reality one day and happen to her exactly.
only--
Lu Qin felt a little sad for no reason, but if she had to choose, she would actually prefer to travel on the sea with her parents.
But she never told this to anyone.
Xu Zhou is a very good person, and meeting him is indeed a blessing in her life, but Lu Qin still dreams of her parents every month, and dreams of the days when her parents were still alive.
Xu Zhou saw that her eyes were red, probably because she had said before that she was moved, so he didn't think much about it.
Lu Qin studied very hard. When Xu Zhou didn't come, she would hide in her yard and write honestly.
Her handwriting is so ugly that it is not worthy of being presented in a formal setting.
But she is really hardworking. If she can't write well, she will keep writing and overcome the difficulties in writing bit by bit.
After a month, although her handwriting was not as good as Xu Zhou's, it could be considered neat.
Xu Zhou flipped through her handwriting, then slowly curled his lips, hummed softly, and said to her, "You're making rapid progress."
"When your handwriting is good enough, I will teach you how to draw and write poetry."
"By the way, you should take good care of your hands. If I have time on weekdays, I can teach you to play the piano."
Lu Qin just felt like she was dreaming.
Her eyes were red and she choked up again, "Master, meeting you in this life is truly the greatest blessing of my life."
Xu Zhou smiled without saying anything, but just reached out and touched the top of her head.
"You are so innocent and naive that I don't know what to say."
"Don't call me Master anymore. It sounds strange. Let's address each other in private. There's no need to be so formal."
"I also don't like you always calling me respectfully. It makes me feel that you only treat me as your master, and never as your husband."
Lu Qin was stunned.
She was grateful to Xu Zhou for always teaching her how to read and write, so she always obeyed what he said. So she subconsciously asked, "Then what does the young master want me to call you?"
Xu Zhou curled the corners of his lips.
"You are younger than me, why don't you call me Brother Azhou?"
These simple words inexplicably stained Lu Qin's cheeks with a blush. She whispered, her voice as soft as a mosquito's: "A Zhou...Brother."
"Isn't this against the rules?"
She didn't know the other concubines in the noble man's house, nor did she know if they were all called that way. She just felt inexplicably ashamed of the title.
But Xu Zhou suddenly smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. Her voice was so soft and gentle that it made her look gentle and charming.
"What's wrong with that? Scream twice more and let me hear it."
"I like to hear you call me Brother Azhou. You should call me that from now on."
Lu Qin: “…”
Lu Qin's already red face suddenly became even redder because of her teasing, but she didn't dare to say anything.
When she heard him repeat these four words, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. She raised her head cautiously and looked at him shyly.
Xu Zhou didn't say anything, but he reached out and held her in his arms.
This simple action is worth a thousand words.
Lu Qin's face turned even redder for no reason.
"What are you doing!?"
A sharp and angry voice of a girl broke everything, like a dagger cutting through the white paper, leaving a crack that could not be mended.
Lu Qin turned her head, her expression suddenly flustered, but she never expected to see her cousin Shao Rong, who had come to visit her house before, staring at her with a pair of eyes full of resentment.
Lu Qin couldn't help but tremble at the look in her eyes, and subconsciously hid behind Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou also stretched out his hand to protect Lu Qin behind him, looked at his cousin's smile expressionlessly, and spoke in a cold and indifferent voice, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him at all.
"Why is my cousin here?"
"I remember that my cousin is getting married soon and should be embroidering her wedding dress at home. You keep going to the Xu family every now and then. Aren't you afraid that your parents will be angry?"
Shao Rong was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stared at him intently and pointed at Lu Qin who was hiding behind him. "You and this bitch are having an affair?"
She was not a fool, so how could she not see that Lu Qin was no longer dressed like a servant.
She is clearly dressed like an aunt!
Xu Zhou actually betrayed her!
Xu Zhou sneered, his brows cold, "What does this have to do with my cousin?"
Shao Rong looked at him with red eyes, then turned and left.
Xu Zhou didn't care.
At night, bad news came.
Shao Rong actually cut her wrists.
