This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 247 The Dragon Son-in-Law Returns
It’s weird.

They said they were going to see Miss Bai, so why did they suddenly disappear?

Inside the carriage, Luo Zijun harbored a secret doubt.

Could it be that the queen had been talking with him for too long and was already tired?
or……

"She's deliberately bullying me."

At this moment, Miss Bai suddenly spoke, looking at him and saying, "As my son-in-law, how do you plan to help me take revenge on her?"

Luo Zijun's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Miss, she is the Queen. Even if I had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough for her to chop them off. How could I dare to seek revenge against her?"

"Cowardly."

Miss Bai snorted, her face full of disdain.

Luo Zijun said, "This is not called being cowardly, this is called being a wise man who knows when to yield. I am now a member of the Bai family. If I offend the Queen, the Bai family will suffer. Miss, you can't be willful in this kind of thing."

Miss Bai turned her face away and ignored him.

Luo Zijun ignored her and pondered her plan to eliminate the Blissful Manor in a few days.

We must find a way to lure Lai Da over there first, so that we can catch him red-handed and settle our personal scores!

The carriage quickly turned into the alley and stopped in front of the Bai residence.

Night had fallen.

Lanterns were hung in front of the Bai residence, and servants, also carrying lanterns, surrounded Bai Ming and his wife, eagerly waiting at the gate.

The son-in-law and the eldest daughter went to the palace to see the Queen, which was a great honor, but also dangerous.

If you anger the Queen, it could lead to the destruction of your entire family and clan.

Therefore, everyone in the Bai household was filled with unease.

Upon seeing the carriage return, Bai Ming hurriedly went down the steps to greet it.

Luo Zijun helped Miss Bai down from the carriage, looking like a loving and harmonious couple.

As soon as the two stepped off the carriage, Bai Ming eagerly asked, "Zijun, how was it?"

Knowing what her father-in-law was worried about, Luo Zijun quickly said, "Father-in-law, please don't worry. I had a very pleasant conversation with the Queen. The Queen even bestowed upon me a Phoenix Token and appointed me as her advisor, allowing me to go to the palace to speak with her at any time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ming's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down, and he beamed with joy: "Good, good!"

The rest of the Bai family were also all smiles, and their gazes toward their new son-in-law were filled with even greater awe.

The Queen's advisors are no ordinary people!
Even if I meet those generals and princes in the future, I will not be afraid!
"My son-in-law is amazing! He's so young, yet he's gained the Queen's favor. My Bai family will benefit from his success from now on."

At this moment, the maids, nannies, and other servants no longer held the slightest contempt for the new son-in-law.

Chu Meixiang quickly smiled and said, "Zijun, Suzhen, let's go have dinner together."

Bai Qingtong smiled and praised, "Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

A group of people escorted Luo Zijun and her companion into the mansion and led them to the dining hall.

As soon as she sat down, Chu Meixiang asked impatiently, "Suzhen, did you see the Queen? What did you talk about?"

Bai Meixue remained silent.

Luo Zijun quickly answered, "Mother-in-law, the eldest young lady did not see the Queen today."

"Oh?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Luo Zijun quickly explained, "After entering the palace this afternoon, I first went to see the Queen, and then we discussed the war with her until dark. The Queen was probably a little tired, so she didn't see you again, Miss."

Bai Ming laughed and said, "We've been talking since afternoon until dark, Ziju. It seems that the Queen values ​​your ideas very much."

Luo Zijun humbly replied, "Her Majesty the Queen simply wanted to hear more different opinions."

Bai Ming suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Zijun, besides discussing the war against the Seven Kingdoms, has Her Majesty discussed any other issues with you?"

Luo Zijun said, "No, we only discussed the rebellion of the seven kingdoms."

As for the Queen's desire to become the Queen, that was absolutely forbidden to be discussed.

Knowing that some things shouldn't be asked too much, Bai Ming smiled and said, "Since Her Majesty the Queen has given you the Phoenix Token, if you have any other ideas in the future, you can go directly to the palace to report them."

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing that her son-in-law was no longer the same as before, Chu Meixiang realized that his future success and prosperity were almost certain, and that the Bai family might even have to rely on him in the future. Thus, she began to have some urgent thoughts.

She smiled and said, "Sir, let's not just talk about national affairs, let's talk about our own family matters."

As she spoke, she stood up, picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and placed it in Bai Qingtong's bowl next to her, saying, "Qingtong, take this to your brother-in-law and tell him to eat more vegetables."

"Oh."

Bai Qingtong agreed, picked up some fish with her chopsticks, got up and put it in Luo Zijun's bowl, and said sweetly, "Brother-in-law, eat more vegetables."

Luo Zijun quickly thanked her.

Chu Meixiang then asked gently with a warm expression, "Zijun, I heard that you and Suzhen did not live together after you got married. What is the reason for that?"

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

Luo Zijun thought to herself: Mother-in-law, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?
However, at this time, one must not harbor any resentment.

Of course, it can't be said that it was Miss Bai's fault.

He said respectfully, "Although Ziju and the eldest young lady live in two separate courtyards, the two courtyards are connected, so it can be considered that they live together. Ziju usually stays up late to study and is afraid of disturbing the eldest young lady, so it is more convenient for her to live in a separate place."

Bai Meixue looked up at him. Miss Bai, on the other hand, chuckled to herself.

Chu Meixiang said, "Since you are husband and wife, it is not appropriate for each of you to live in a separate courtyard. If word gets out, people may say that my Bai family is belittling and mistreating you. You have already had a wedding ceremony, yet you cannot live in the same room as your bride. How can this be considered husband and wife? Before your marriage, my father-in-law and I told each other that although you are nominally marrying into the Bai family, we will never treat you as an ordinary son-in-law, much less as a servant. Zijun, no matter what you and Suzhen discussed before, starting tonight, you will move to Luoxue Residence and live with Suzhen."

Luo Zijun did not answer immediately, but looked at Miss Bai beside her.

Everyone else's eyes were also on her.

Because Miss Bai was going to eat here, her veil had been removed, so all the servants had been driven out, and there were only a few people in the room.

The few maids who remained were all absolutely loyal servants.

Miss Bai's long eyelashes drooped, her exquisitely beautiful face calm and undisturbed, and she did not speak upon hearing this.

Chu Meixiang coughed and said, "Suzhen, what do you think?"

Bai Meixue didn't answer, but turned to Luo Zijun and asked, "What do you think?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to him again.

Luo Zijun glanced at Miss Bai's expression a few times, considered it for a moment, and said, "How about we wait until after next year's autumn imperial examination?"

He also needs to cultivate every night, and he doesn't want to be controlled by others.

Living in Junziju is so wonderful. I can be free and do whatever I want. I can go out to cultivate every night, occasionally sleep in the same bed with Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan, play games, and sometimes even stay out all night. How happy I am!

If one were to move into Luoxue Residence, all these joys would be lost.

Chu Meixiang frowned slightly, about to offer further advice, when Bai Ming spoke up, "What Zijun says is true. Let's wait until after next year's autumn examination to discuss this matter. At this time, Zijun should prioritize her studies and academic pursuits. Although she has gained the Queen's favor, she absolutely cannot slack off. Only by achieving good results in next year's autumn examination can she live up to the Queen's favor and silence those petty people."

Seeing this, Chu Meixiang could only say, "Alright, it's your own business, you two decide for yourselves. Zijun, if Suzhen bullies you, just tell your mother-in-law, and she will stand up for you."

Luo Zijun said respectfully, "Thank you, Mother-in-law."

He glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye and saw Miss Bai sitting next to him, and he slightly pursed his lips.

The group ate their meal and chatted for a while.

After finishing their meal, Luo Zijun and Miss Bai left together.

Bai Bai and Fen Fen carried lanterns in front, while Qing Qing followed behind, carrying a sword.

As they approached Luo Xue Residence, Miss Bai turned to look at him and asked, "If I really wanted to bully you, would you tell my mother?"

Luo Zijun said, "No."

Miss Bai asked, "Why?"

Luo Zijun said, "It's shameful for a man to be bullied by a woman. I'm trying to keep it to myself, how could I possibly tell others?"

Pink and White, who were walking in front, both chuckled.

Miss Bai glanced at him again, then ignored him and walked towards Luo Xue Residence.

Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him, saying, "Let me tell you, don't even think about it after next year's autumn examinations."

After saying that, he walked in with a cold and arrogant expression.

"Tch, who cares!"

Luo Zijun silently complained to herself, turned around and left, returning to the small courtyard next door.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiao Huan said, "Young Master, someone from the Su State Mansion just came and said that Madam has something to say to you and wants you to come over."

Luo Zijun was taken aback upon hearing this: "Sister wants me to go there now?"

Xiao Huan said, "Yes, we'll go now."

Luo Zijun was puzzled, but she didn't dare to delay and quickly turned around and left the courtyard.

My sister rarely takes the initiative to contact him. The fact that she came to see him so late today suggests that something might have happened. Of course, it's also possible that she heard he went to the palace and is worried about him.

Xiao Huan chased after him, carrying a lantern: "Young master, I'll go with you and light your way."

Luo Zijun said, "No need, you go back, I'll go by myself."

With his current night vision, he no longer needs to light his way.

The Suguo Mansion and the Anguo Mansion are separated by only one road; you can reach them as soon as you step out of the mansion.

Of course, you can't go through the main gate at this time.

He went out through the back gate of Anguo Mansion, walked through the alley, and arrived at the back gate of Suguo Mansion. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a carriage suddenly drove up through the alley.

He turned his head and glanced at the carriage. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a snow-white, jade-like hand. Then, the jade hand extended a slender index finger and gently beckoned to him.

Luo Zijun was stunned, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine from behind!

"boom!"

Before he could react, a hand chop suddenly appeared silently behind him and slammed heavily into the back of his neck.

The force was so great that his body instantly lost the ability to resist.

His vision went black, and he fainted.

In the instant he fainted, he heard that devilish, terrifying voice again: "Tonight... nine times... I get five, you get four..."

Luo Zijun: "..."
