This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 244 The Young Lady's True Face
at dusk.

After finishing her medicinal bath, Luo Zijun was practicing the Fiery Finger Technique in the backyard.

Just then, Xiao Huan came to report: "The master has arrived."

Luo Zijun quickly tidied herself up and went to the front yard.

Bai Ming was standing in the front yard, deep in thought. When he saw Zijun come out, he gave him a thorough once-over before smiling broadly and saying, "Zijun, I have good news for you. The Queen has invited you to the palace tomorrow. She wants to ask you some questions about the recent Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms."

Luo Zijun was surprised to hear this: "How did the Queen know...?"

He suddenly reacted.

Bai Ming said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have told the Queen everything you told me today. After all, it concerns the life and death of our Great Liang. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, I should inform her."

Luo Zijun said somewhat nervously, "Father-in-law, I have told you everything I need to say, and there is really nothing more to say. Besides, those were just my personal guesses. If the Queen asks anything else, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer."

This is not the Han Dynasty, the King of Wu is not Liu Bi, and the King of Liang is not Liu Wu.

What if he guesses wrong and it affects the war? Wouldn't that be a capital offense?

He had only said these words casually to the Third Miss, but who knew that they would reach the palace.

Bai Ming seemed to have guessed his worries and comforted him, "Zijun, you don't need to worry. The Queen asked you to go just to ask for your thoughts. Whether your guess is accurate or not, she will not punish you. The Queen is the one who makes the final decision. She needs to think things through from all aspects. Today, all the ministers who came to the palace expressed their opinions. It is impossible for anyone to be punished just because they guessed wrong or right."

Luo Zijun was somewhat relieved after hearing this.

Bai Ming then said earnestly, "The Queen personally invited you to the palace to hear your opinions, which is a great honor, both for you personally and for our Bai family. Zijun, you must seize this opportunity. If you gain the Queen's favor, your future in Daliang will be smooth sailing and you will rise to great heights. Even if you don't pass the imperial examination next autumn, it won't have a major impact."

Luo Zijun isn't thinking about her future right now.

His current thought is to kill Lai Da as soon as possible and take revenge!

Behind the Paradise Manor is a powerful prince, whom the Bai family certainly cannot afford to offend. In the entire Liang Dynasty, only the Queen has the qualifications and the strength to deal with that prince.

So, my father-in-law is right, this is indeed a good opportunity.

If he captures her and wins the queen's favor, then destroying that Paradise Manor might be effortless.

If we want to accomplish this in just one month, we have no choice but to leverage existing momentum.

However, we don't yet know the queen's personality and true thoughts. If she is wholeheartedly protecting the Prince of Nanhe, then we'll be in trouble.

“Since Father-in-law says so, then Ziju will enter the palace tomorrow.”

Luo Zijun agreed, secretly plotting her revenge.

Bai Ming nodded and said, "Tomorrow, Meixue will go to the palace with you."

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "Miss is going too?"

Bai Ming said, "You may not know this, but when they were young, the Queen and Meixue were actually very good friends. They played together since they were little. Later, the Queen entered the palace and rarely came out, so their relationship faded a bit... This time, the Queen probably thought of Meixue when she asked you to enter the palace, so she asked her to come with you."

Luo Zijun glanced at the room next door and asked, "Did the young lady agree?"

Bai Ming said, "I was just about to talk to her. Since it was the Queen herself who invited us, of course we should go. There's no reason for us not to."

"Zijun, I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to Meixue's place. After lunch tomorrow, the two of you will go to the front together, and I will accompany you into the palace."

After saying that, he left the courtyard and went to the Snowfall Residence next door.

Luo Zijun pondered for a while in the courtyard before going to the backyard to continue practicing the Fiery Finger Technique.

Night fell quickly.

After Luo Zijun finished washing up, just as he was about to return to his room, Bai Bai came over from next door and said, "Brother Zijun, Miss wants you to go over there."

"It should be about going to the palace tomorrow."

Luo Zijun thought to herself, and immediately followed her through the small door into Luo Xue Residence.

The room was dimly lit, with no lights on.

A stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in a snow-white dress, with her long, black hair flowing down to her waist, stood quietly by the window, bathed in the bright moonlight, gazing blankly at the night outside, lost in thought.

Luo Zijun walked in and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Miss."

Bai Meixue remained standing by the window, quietly gazing outside. After a moment, she suddenly spoke, "I will go to the palace with you tomorrow. You must protect me."

Luo Zijun: "???"

Just as he was wondering, the stunningly beautiful figure in front of the window slowly turned around, revealing a face with skin as white as snow and an appearance that could topple kingdoms.

Tonight, Miss Bai didn't wear a veil or put on any scar patches!
She actually revealed her true colors!
That stunningly beautiful face, bathed in the pure white moonlight and framed by her jet-black hair, was dazzlingly white and breathtakingly beautiful!

Even though I've seen it several times before, seeing it again today is still breathtakingly beautiful and mesmerizing.

Luo Zijun was momentarily dazed, and said, "Young Miss, you..."

Bai Meixue looked at him calmly and said, "You guessed it long ago, didn't you?"

Luo Zijun said, "Yes, but... what did Miss mean when she asked me to protect you? Does the Queen intend to harm you?"

Bai Meixue said calmly, "She'll probably be angry when she sees that I'm not really disfigured. She's always been jealous that I'm prettier than her."

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, then said, "Then Miss can wear a veil or cover up the scar so she can't see your true face, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Bai Meixue said, "But I just want her to see it, I just want to make her angry."

Luo Zijun: "???"

Are you out of your mind?
Bai Meixue didn't explain, but just looked at him and asked, "Will you protect me?"

Luo Zijun replied without hesitation, "Of course I will, but I'm afraid I'm too weak and of low status to have the strength."

Bai Meixue said, "It's alright, just stand by me, she won't do anything to you."

Luo Zijun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Miss, actually, I'm going to the palace tomorrow to try to get on good terms with the Queen and ask her for a favor."

It's really a headache. How did this incident suddenly come up, completely disrupting his plan to please the Queen?

Bai Meixue looked at him calmly and said, "She doesn't need to flatter you. As long as you show your true abilities, you can make demands of her. In her eyes, interests are the most important thing. As long as you are useful to her, she will help you." Luo Zijun pondered for a moment, still somewhat worried: "Will you two argue tomorrow?"

Bai Meixue said, "I never argue."

"Are they fighting?"

Luo Zijun asked again.

Bai Meixue said, "I never fight either."

Luo Zijun felt a little relieved and said, "Alright, then we'll just have to play it by ear tomorrow. I hope everything goes smoothly."

The room became quiet.

Seeing that she had finished speaking, Luo Zijun prepared to take her leave, but Bai Meixue suddenly said again, "I have found my undergarments, but I haven't found my bodice and stockings yet."

Luo Zijun spread her hands and said, "Miss, you don't still suspect that I stole it, do you?"

Bai Meixue stared at him calmly for a while, then said, "I'm just letting you know. If you want it, you can just tell me, and I'll give it to you."

Luo Zijun immediately said, "Miss, this is too insulting! I have absolutely no interest in your clothes!"

After saying that, he turned and left, looking angry and as if he had been humiliated.

After he left, the small door inside the house opened.

Fenfen came out from the inner room and said, "Miss, the young master is such a good actor. He didn't even flinch and showed no shame. It's one thing for him to wear a bellyband, but he also likes your stockings. I bet he's been secretly using your fragrant stockings to do naughty things these past two nights."

Bai Meixue looked at her and said, "Wasn't he doing something bad with you last night? How could he have time to do something bad with those stockings?"

"what……"

Fenfen blushed instantly, stammering and too embarrassed to speak.

After returning to Junzi Residence, Luo Zijun spoke with Xiao Huan and Zhiyuan for a while before going back to her room to continue her cultivation.

However, the thought of going to the palace tomorrow dampened my spirits.

He got into bed and lay there for a while. He couldn't help but take out two pairs of snow-white silk stockings from his bosom, one pair belonging to Miss Bai and the other to his senior sister. They were both fragrant and soft.

Both women are stunning beauties, but their styles are quite different.

She always pretends to be aloof and pure, but she's actually a charming and seductive little devil.

A place of serene elegance, picturesque beauty, as if a celestial being had descended to earth, to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with.

Of course, you'd be completely captivated by either one if you looked at them too long.

Ok?
He suddenly remembered the queen he had seen in the palace that night.

The queen's face was stunningly beautiful, with an almost otherworldly charm.

Those expressive peach blossom eyes were like two polar vortexes; once you met their gaze, you would be immediately drawn in.

That night, when they first met, even he, with his composure, was momentarily stunned.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of the other party's charm.

Tomorrow, not only will I have to face Miss Bai's stunning beauty, but also the Queen's gorgeous face. Will I suddenly lose control and do something impolite?

That would be too bad.

It doesn't matter if he's rude to Miss Bai; she certainly won't do anything to him, after all, they're a formally married couple. But if he's rude to the Queen, given her domineering aura last time and the ruthless nature of killing that he's heard about lately, he might... lose his life!

Thinking of this, he immediately sat up in bed.

After thinking for a moment, he got out of bed, opened the door, and went directly to the room across the street.

"Squeak..."

Just then, the door opened.

Paper Kite, wearing a pink bib and with her long, flowing hair down, was about to go out to relieve herself.

The two looked at each other and both paused for a moment.

Paper Kite said, "Young Master, you..."

Luo Zijun glanced at her delicate face, her snow-white shoulders, and her ample chest, then suddenly bent down, picked her up, and carried her into the room, closing the door behind him.

Xiao Huan was wearing a bellyband, lying on the bed with her buttocks sticking out, reading a book. When she saw him come in, she opened her big, dark eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Paper Kite blushed and said hastily, "Young Master, this servant... this servant needs to relieve herself first..."

Without a word, Luo Zijun threw her back onto the bed, blew out the lamp, took off her clothes, got into bed, and drew the curtains, saying, "Want to hear a story?"

The two immediately said in unison, "We don't want to..."

"Hmph, you have no choice but to think about it!"

Luo Zijun let out a "woof" and pounced on it.

Paper Kite said urgently, "Young Master, this servant... this servant will go first..."

"Don't go!"

Luo Zijun immediately covered her mouth with a kiss, then whispered in her ear, "Hold on, let me tell you a story first... It'll be even more fun later..."

Zhiyuan blushed immediately and fell silent.

"Meow--"

Just then, a white cat suddenly jumped down from the outer courtyard wall, then onto the corridor, and with a light leap, jumped onto the windowsill.

Those deep blue eyes peered through the crack in the window at the shadows cast on the curtains inside the room.
