This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 310 Confession
"Young Miss, my room is a mess..."

Luo Zijun tried her best to remain calm, but her heart was pounding involuntarily.

If his sister-in-law were found fast asleep in his bed...

"Besides, my room smells awful... I peed in the chamber pot last night, and I haven't emptied it yet..."

He hoped the young lady was just joking.

But clearly, the other party wasn't joking.

"It's okay, just let Fenfen go and throw it away."

Bai Meixue went straight through the small door, walked past him, then turned to look at him and said, "What, you don't want me to come in?"

Luo Zijun immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said, "No...no, it's just..."

"Let's go then."

Bai Meixue didn't say anything more and walked directly into the house.

Luo Zijun quickly followed and said, "Miss, the room really smells bad. Let's talk in the courtyard, or we can go to your place."

Bai Meixue ignored him and went straight into the corridor.

Luo Zijun really wanted to grab her and throw her over her shoulder, but this was obviously just something she could imagine and couldn't actually do.

He had no choice but to hurry into the house, immediately stepping forward to block the doorway and shouting, "Young Miss!"

He hoped his voice would wake his sister-in-law inside the house, so she would quickly climb out the window or hide.

Leaving through the window was obviously not an option, so Bai Bai and Qing Qing came out of the kitchen and were standing in the courtyard watching.

"how?"

Bai Meixue narrowed her eyes as he blocked her at the doorway.

Luo Zijun stammered, "The room smells terrible, I can't let Miss in..."

"Step aside."

Miss Bai's expression turned cold, her tone carrying an unyielding command.

"Miss..."

Just as Luo Zijun was wondering what to do, the door behind her suddenly creaked open.

This was truly a fright!

Luo Zijun's soul almost jumped out of her body in fright.

But then came the languid voice of the kite behind him: "Young master, why are you up so early..."

Luo Zijun was taken aback and turned to look.

Paper Kite was only wearing a small bib, revealing her snow-white skin. Her hair was loose, and she looked sleepy as if she had just woken up. She was rubbing her eyes and looking outside.

"Ah, young lady, what brings you here?"

She seemed to have just seen Miss Bai and panicked instantly. She immediately knelt down on both knees and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, please forgive me... last night... last night this servant and the young master..."

At this moment, Xiao Huan suddenly appeared at the door wearing a bellyband. Seeing the situation outside, she also quickly knelt down.

Two young maids, their clothes disheveled and their long hair loose, knelt inside the door, fearfully admitting their mistake.

At this moment, Fenfen, who had followed in, suddenly sneered and said, "Young master, you're quite the ladies' man. You've had two women in one night. No wonder you're feeling guilty and didn't dare let my young lady in."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Miss Bai glanced at the two of them indifferently. Her beautiful, ethereal face remained calm and undisturbed. She simply said, "So this is what fun things are like."

Then she looked at him and asked, "Is it really fun?"

Luo Zijun's lips twitched, her face full of embarrassment. Unsure how to answer, she could only manage, "Just...just bear with it..."

"Heh, it's alright, looks like two people aren't enough."

Pinky mocked from behind.

Miss Bai glanced at her and said, "That's why he was inviting you to come along."

"what……"

Fenfen was stunned for a moment, then blushed furiously, both ashamed and angry: "You bad son-in-law! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!"

"You all get out."

Bai Meixue gave a casual instruction.

With her little face flushed pink, she glared at someone fiercely before turning and leaving.

Paper Kite and Little Ring knelt at the door, heads bowed, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The reason they were here was that they had just heard the noise outside and, in a panic, decided to sacrifice themselves to help the young master and the third young lady cover it up. They thought that the eldest young lady would turn around and leave when she saw this situation, but who knew that the eldest young lady would actually let them leave.

"What, do you only listen to your young master?"

Miss Bai's tone began to turn cold.

The two maids were already feeling guilty and scared. Upon hearing this, they dared not linger any longer. They hurriedly stood up and left without even putting on their clothes.

"go in."

Miss Bai's gaze fell upon someone standing at the door.

Although Luo Zijun was frightened, she tried her best to remain calm. Her sister-in-law must have heard the commotion and hidden herself away.

With things having come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around to go into the room.

His gaze immediately fell on the bed.

The curtains obscured the view, and the quilt inside looked hazy and rather messy, clearly done intentionally by Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan.

Under the bed lay two pairs of delicate embroidered shoes and two pairs of disheveled stockings. The two little maids' dresses and undergarments were also scattered on the floor.

Judging from this, the three of them did indeed seem to have experienced a rather exciting game last night.

There was no one in the bed.

But with Luo Zijun's senses, she could clearly feel that her sister-in-law had already hidden under the bed.

The room was dimly lit, but the morning sun had already shone through the window, so it was still possible to see things clearly.

Bai Meixue's gaze swept over the disheveled clothes and stockings on the floor and the bed, but she didn't speak. Instead, she walked to the window and opened it.

Golden rays of dawn streamed in.

The entire room instantly became bright.

Luo Zijun's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze flickered to the underside of the bed. Fortunately, only a little light could penetrate, and her sister-in-law was hiding in the innermost corner against the wall, where it was still dark.

But then he suddenly saw his sister-in-law's embroidered shoes, clearly exposed in the light under the bed.

As long as Miss Bai looks under the bed, she will definitely see it!
Luo Zijun immediately moved to block Miss Bai's view and said calmly, "The weather is really nice today."

Bai Meixue turned away from the window, turned to look at him, and asked, "You just said you had something to say to me?"

The words that Luo Zijun had been preparing in her heart for a long time were now somewhat jumbled up after being startled.

At this moment, his sister-in-law was hiding under the bed, and he suddenly hesitated.

But after a moment's thought, I felt that this matter needed to be resolved quickly, otherwise things might get complicated and something unexpected might happen along the way.

After a moment's hesitation, he looked at the stunningly beautiful girl bathed in the golden morning light before him, cupped his hands, and asked, "Miss, what do you think of our relationship now?"

Bai Meixue looked at him calmly and asked, "Do we have feelings for each other?"

very good!

Luo Zijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said aloud, "Of course there is. Although there may not be any marital affection, we have been together for so long, so there must be some other feelings involved."

Bai Meixue remained noncommittal.

Luo Zijun then asked, "So, what does Miss think of me?"

Bai Meixue stared at him for a while and said, "Hypocritical, lecherous, and has peculiar fetishes."

Luo Zijun's lips twitched, and she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Bai Meixue didn't say anything more.

Luo Zijun sighed and said, "So, in Miss's heart, I am so worthless."

Bai Meixue said, "It's not that bad. At least you have some guts. You're the first son-in-law who dared to make a move on his sister-in-law."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Well, there's no need to explain at this point, since it's pointless anyway.

"Miss, you really know how to compliment people."

Luo Zijun made a self-deprecating remark, then looked at her and said, "In that case, Miss must really hate me, right?"

Bai Meixue seemed to think for a moment and said, "It's alright, I wouldn't say I hate it, just that I despise it."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Great! This girl is even better at roasting people than Lin Duidui and Qing Duidui!

Luo Zijun decided to get to the point: "So, Miss, do you think our marriage still has any meaning?"

Bai Meixue looked at him calmly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Luo Zijun took a deep breath, met her gaze, and said, "Back then, Miss, we married because we had no other choice, for the safety of the Bai family. Now that the danger has passed, what are your thoughts, Miss?"

Bai Meixue said calmly, "What are you thinking?"

Seeing that things had already come to this point, Luo Zijun knew that further rambling would only waste time and be more hypocritical, so she said directly, "I think that since our marriage was not of our own free will, and the danger has now passed, we don't need to pretend anymore and continue to maintain this relationship in an uncomfortable way. What do you think, Miss?"

After saying that, for some reason, his heart suddenly tightened.

Although a stone had been dropped, strangely, there was no sense of relief, but rather an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

Bai Meixue looked at him calmly, her exquisitely beautiful face remaining expressionless. After a moment's thought, she looked at him and said, "You mean you want to divorce me?"

"of course not."

Luo Zijun quickly denied it, correcting himself, "I am merely a lowly son-in-law, how could I possibly be qualified to divorce Miss? Besides, Miss is as beautiful as a celestial being, a noble lady, and gentle in nature; everyone loves her, and flowers bloom for her. What I meant just now was actually for Miss's sake. Since Miss despises me and is unwilling to accept this marriage, I propose that Miss may... may divorce me..."

He then quickly assured her, "Don't worry, Miss. Even if you divorce me, I will never hold a grudge. The Bai family has been kind to me, and Miss has been kind to me. Even if Miss and I are no longer husband and wife, I will still regard the Bai family as my own and Miss and the Bai family as my own family."

He was afraid that Miss Bai would have reservations because he was now favored by the Queen, so he said that.

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the room.

Luo Zijun carefully observed the expression on Miss Bai's face, but couldn't discern anything. After waiting for a long time, just as she was about to continue persuading her, Miss Bai finally spoke, saying in a calm tone, "But I don't want to divorce you."

Luo Zijun paused for a moment and said, "Why? The young lady doesn't like me and despises me. She married me unwillingly. Now that everything is calm, the young lady can divorce me and regain her freedom."

Bai Meixue looked at him with her beautiful, dark eyes and said, "I just don't want to."

Luo Zijun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Did this girl find out?

But then she said calmly, "If I divorce you, you can bring your sister-in-law to your room without any worries, and play fun things with your two maids, right?"

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Don't even think about it."

Miss Bai said coldly.
