The summer night breeze was much cooler in the second half of the night than in the first half, and Lu Qingyan fell asleep quickly after returning to the courtyard.
The cicadas were still chirping annoyingly, and the moon had sneaked out of the window. By the time the first rays of sunlight rose, many members of the Chunxi Troupe had already gotten up.
Unlike Lu Qingyan, who slept soundly all night, Xiao Liuchen returned to his room with the portrait of the beauty and examined it for a long time without finding any clues. After a whole night, he couldn't help but wonder if the Song family's immense wealth and mysterious treasure map were real or fake. If they were fake, what was their purpose in fabricating such news?
Having not slept all night, Xiao Liuchen had dark circles under his eyes. Dongsheng, who got up early, saw him and couldn't help but tease him: "Hunmeng, where did you and Miss go last night and what were you doing?"
Xiao Liuchen scratched his head sheepishly, "I... I just took a walk around the streets with my master last night. She said it was too hot for her to sleep, so she asked me to come and keep her company."
If Lu Qingyan were present, and if she heard this shameless remark, the headline would be: #Congratulations to Lu Qingyan for successfully advancing and earning the title of scapegoat#
If it were Chunsheng, he would definitely smooth things over; if it were Xiasheng, he would definitely refute it; but Dongsheng believed it as soon as he heard it.
Upon hearing this, Dongsheng was filled with righteous indignation: "How could you do this to me, Miss? She's gone too far! You're still a child and she treats you like this. You shouldn't have her as your master anymore. From now on, you should come with me, and I'll teach you." As he spoke, he straightened his back and patted his chest, appearing very righteous.
Xiao Liuchen lowered his eyes: If I want to learn opera, it doesn't matter who I follow, but only she can be my master!
Who do you think you are?
He could sense the kindness and enthusiasm of the person before him, but whether or not to accept it was up to him. And the only person he ever wanted to accept was this person.
Xiao Liuchen's eyes darkened as he thought of this, but he smiled and said, "Whatever Master does is good. I'm happy to be with her."
Dongsheng: "..."
#This bowl of dog food caught me off guard#
After thinking for a long time, Dongsheng could only manage to say, "Whatever makes you happy."
At the same time, Lu Qingyan also received interrogation from Liu Yu and Tian Shenhua: "What did you do last night?"
"Are you close to that kid?"
"Why did you take him as your apprentice?"
Before Lu Qingyan could catch her breath, they bombarded her with a series of questions.
In conclusion: "My daughter has great taste, we support you!"
Lu Qingyan had already cried herself unconscious. These really weren't her biological parents! What kind of parents treat their own daughter like trash while treating someone else like a treasure?
Liu Yu even considered the thirty-six stratagems for winning back her husband, while Tian Shenhua only left a few steps later, whispering in Lu Qingyan's ear before leaving, "Yiyi, as long as you like it, there's no problem. But you're still young, so take it easy. Do you know that when Dongsheng came over this morning, that kid's eyes were all black and blue..."
In that instant, Tian Shenhua's words echoed repeatedly in Lu Qingyan's mind: "Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy, take it easy... Blue and black!"
When she came to her senses, the room was empty. Lu Qingyan took a step forward and almost fell to the ground: "Father, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Her originally fair face was flushed, making her look like a round apple, which was very endearing: "Dad, you have ruined my lifelong reputation!"
The system couldn't help but chime in with a sarcastic remark: "Master, you really don't have much of a reputation."
