This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 312 Mysterious Woman
It was midday.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, vendors hawking their wares, and children chasing each other, creating a lively scene.

The atmosphere of impending war that had been building for some time now seems to have been dispelled.

While other countries were in the midst of war, the Great Liang Dynasty was peaceful and stable, which made the people look at the Queen's governing skills with new respect.

"Even without a new king, with the Queen Mother here, our Great Liang will not fall into chaos..."

"Yes, I think it would be good to let the Queen rule the country on behalf of the King."

"Perhaps it would be better..."

Within Lin'an City, some residents were privately discussing the matter, and the discussion was gaining momentum.

As Luo Zijun walked down the street, she heard these discussions and thought to herself: I wonder if some people really think this way, or if the Queen is deliberately sending people to create this situation.

If things continue like this, we'll probably soon hear things like, "It would be better if the Queen were the King of our Great Liang," and "What does it matter if she's a woman, as long as she knows how to govern?"

Once everyone thinks this way, then everything is ready.

Luo Zijun couldn't help but admire the Queen's methods.

The Great Yan army is still locked in a stalemate with the armies of the seven kingdoms. Several battles have been fought, with each side winning and losing. Seeing this, the other countries have begun to remain neutral and dare not make any rash moves.

The same applies to Daliang.

However, under the Queen's scheme, while Da Liang feigned loyalty to Da Yan without sending a single soldier to help, it secretly opened up a passage to facilitate the transport of grain between Wu and Chu, and even gifted them some horses.

At the same time, they concentrated their forces near Luoyang, ostensibly to prevent the Seven Kingdoms' armies from attacking, but in reality to prepare to deliver a fatal blow to the Great Yan when both sides were nearly exhausted.

At this time, the entire Great Liang Kingdom appeared calm and peaceful.

"At this point, the armies of the seven kingdoms will obviously have suffered heavy losses. If the stalemate continues for a while, both sides will have lost more than half their strength. Then, the Great Liang can launch a sudden attack, crush the Great Yan army, and then take advantage of the momentum to capture Yujing before the armies of the seven kingdoms. At that time, the morale of the Great Liang army will be high, and its strength will be the strongest. The Queen can directly appoint the new emperor in Yujing, and no one else will have the power to object. Afterwards, they can proceed slowly... If the Queen has a large army, she can even directly appoint the new emperor in Yujing..."

"Of course, there are risks involved..."

Early in the morning, the Queen sent Ziyi to the Bai residence to inform Luo Zijun of the recent battle situation and her plans.

This also helped Luo Zijun get out of the predicament temporarily.

The atmosphere was truly terrifying. His sister-in-law crawled out from under his bed, her clothes disheveled. His mother-in-law fainted from anger. His father-in-law, uncles, and aunts rushed over upon hearing the news…

The entire courtyard was packed with Bai family members.

At that time, Luo Zijun was already preparing to jump over the wall and escape, to flee for her life...

Thankfully, Ziyi arrived.

Therefore, Luo Zijun spoke frankly and openly, sharing all her thoughts.

Then, he personally escorted Ziyi out of the mansion.

After escaping the Bai residence, Zi Yi got into a carriage and left. Luo Zijun didn't dare to go back. She wandered aimlessly through the streets. When she looked up, she saw Baoan Hall.

I was originally planning to tell my senior sister after confessing to Miss Bai today...

Now everything's in chaos.

Even if he and his sister-in-law had a hundred mouths, they still couldn't explain themselves clearly.

If he were to tell the Bai family at this moment that he wanted to divorce Miss Bai, it would be an open secret.

"You shameless son-in-law! You're eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!"

"Don't you even consider your background! If it weren't for our Bai family, what merit would you have to have come into contact with the Queen? Now that you're favored, you've become so audacious, showing no respect for our Bai family?"

"You ate the older sister, and now you want to vomit it up, so you're going to eat the younger sister instead. How despicable!"

"Shameless!"

Well, the Bai family will probably all curse him like that when the time comes.

Even his sister and brother-in-law scolded him for being ungrateful.

"Hey……"

He sighed, composed himself, and entered Bao'an Hall.

Inside the shop, the senior sister was getting medicine for a young woman, while Qingwen was helping to wrap the medicine.

The young woman stared enviously at her senior sister's high, full breasts, her eyes glued to them. After receiving the medicine, she couldn't help but whisper, "Miss Su, what do you usually eat? How come your breasts are so big and perky? Do you have any good medicine prescriptions? Could you get some for me to take?"

Su Qingling looked at her expressionlessly and did not answer.

Just as the young woman was about to plead again, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "It's congenital; medicine won't help."

The young woman was startled. She turned around and saw a handsome young man. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly ran away with the medicine.

"Gluck cluck cluck..."

Qingwen, who was pounding medicine, burst into laughter, bending over backwards.

Su Qingling kept her head down, fiddling with the abacus and calculating the accounts. She didn't even glance at the person. Her slender, pale fingers danced up and down on the abacus, as if she were performing a graceful dance.

Luo Zijun was in a bad mood and didn't joke with her. She walked to the table inside, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then lay down on her master's rocking chair, rocking back and forth while closing her eyes to think.

Qingwen said in a crisp voice, "Young Master hasn't come for several days. Has he been having fun at the Grand View Garden?" This girl's words were so irritating.

Luo Zijun closed his eyes and said, "Do I look like I'm having a good time? This young master is at home studying for the exam!"

"whispering sound!"

Qingwen said sarcastically, "Did Miss Lin come here?"

Luo Zijun remained unfazed: "So what if she came? I went to the Grand View Garden on important business, not to have fun."

Qingwen asked, "Is it a serious matter to spend the night alone with my sister-in-law, a man and a woman?"

Luo Zijun knew that this matter could not be kept secret.

He opened his eyes, looked at the aloof figure behind the counter, and said, "I'm going to cultivate and break through a cultivation barrier, and I need a martial artist to protect me."

Su Qingling continued fiddling with the abacus, ignoring him.

Qingwen asked, puzzled, "What cultivation breakthrough? Isn't Young Master a scholar?"

"Snapped!"

Luo Zijun suddenly snapped his fingers, and a crimson flame burst forth on his thumb. He then glanced at the dumbfounded maid and said, "Who says scholars can't cultivate? This young master is a hidden master with many skills."

"Senior sister, I've advanced again!"

After intimidating Qing Duidui, Luo Zijun boasted to the counter, "Seventh Realm of Martial Artist!"

Su Qingling, however, did not react at all, and continued to keep her head down, fiddling with the abacus.

Feeling bored, Luo Zijun lay down for a while longer, then got up, finished her tea, and said, "I'm leaving. I have some things to take care of recently. I'll come see you again when I've resolved them, and I'll have a surprise for you then."

Su Qingling then looked up at him and asked, "What surprise?"

Luo Zijun stopped at the door, shrugged, and said, "Since it's a surprise, I can't tell you now."

After saying that, he left the shop without lingering any longer.

Su Qingling watched his retreating figure walk into the street, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she continued to calculate the accounts.

The afternoon sun was somewhat lazy.

The number of pedestrians on the streets began to decrease, and the shouts of vendors also became much less frequent.

Luo Zijun wandered aimlessly, pondering her relationship with Miss Bai and her sister-in-law.

At this point, he was speechless and there was no point in explaining further.

However, he cannot back down from his marriage to the young lady; it must be resolved as soon as possible.

At the very least, he needed to know whether he had completely escaped the White Snake's mission; otherwise, he would be restless and unable to eat or sleep.

"I'll go talk to Miss Bai again when I get back tonight."

He made that decision.

His relationship with his sister-in-law was completely innocent, and it was impossible for this misunderstanding to stop or delay his important life event.

This major life event was naturally the fate that the White Snake mission had imposed on him.

He must be completely freed.

Thinking this, he arrived at Chujian Bookstore. As soon as he entered the store, he suddenly saw a familiar figure holding books, head down, walking out of the store.

As they brushed past each other, he turned his head and saw only a veiled, hazy face.

This is a tall woman wearing a black cloak and a black veil.

Luo Zijun felt it was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Girl, please stay!"

He immediately turned around and called out to the other person.

But the woman did not stop. With her head down and holding the book, she quickly walked into the street.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to chase after her, Bi'er came out and said, "Young master, that girl is mute and can't speak."

"Mute?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback, then turned to ask, "Do you know her?"

Bi'er shook her head: "I don't know her. It seems like this is her first time here. Xiao Lan and I talked to her, and she could hear us, but she can't speak. She can only use her fingers."

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, and when she turned to look at the street again, the figure had already disappeared.

Bi'er snorted, "Young master, did you see that she has a good figure and get lustful, and deliberately try to chat her up?"

Luo Zijun ignored her, thought for a moment, and asked, "Bi'er, what books did she buy?"

Bi'er said, "The Butterfly Lovers, A Chinese Ghost Story, and The Dream of Shen Garden, tsk tsk, these are all books written by the son-in-law."

Luo Zijun frowned slightly, sensing that things seemed a bit complicated.
