This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 313 The beauty of adulthood
at dusk.

As the sun began to set and night was about to fall, Luo Zijun left Chujian Bookstore with a heavy heart, preparing to return to the Bai residence.

Upon seeing him off at the door, she deliberately said, "It's alright, Brother Ziju. At worst, we can marry both sisters at the same time. Anyway, the deed is done."

Jia Yingchun covered her mouth and chuckled at the shop entrance.

She came here today to visit Chu Jian, and Luo Zijun didn't hide anything from her when she was complaining to Chu Jian upstairs, so she knew about it.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun angrily retorted, "What do you mean the deed is done? I told you, I didn't even touch her! Our relationship is purely platonic, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, absolutely nothing improper has happened between us!"

Liu Chujian said, "Brother Zijun, a woman's chastity doesn't necessarily mean she's been touched or not touched. So many people in the Bai family saw Qingtong crawl out from under your bed, and they all know that Qingtong didn't come home all night. Even if you two didn't really have anything going on, something has already happened. Qingtong's reputation is ruined, and she definitely won't be able to get married in the future. Brother Zijun, you also said that she did this to help you, so you have to take responsibility."

"I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore!"

Feeling flustered and knowing she was in the wrong, Luo Zijun strode away.

Walking down the bustling street bathed in the setting sun, he felt increasingly that this matter was difficult to resolve. If this matter wasn't resolved, his marriage with Miss Bai would certainly not be able to end.

But in this situation, no explanation or truth will do any good.

People only believe what they see with their own eyes, even if what they see is not the truth.

Moreover, Chu Jian is right. A sister-in-law and her brother-in-law, a man and a woman alone together, spend the night together. Even if nothing actually happens, it's as if something did.

In those days, a woman's reputation was as important as her life, let alone that of a prominent woman, the daughter of a duke.

If such a scandal were to occur, the entire Bai family would suffer as a result.

"Hey……"

The more I think about it, the more I regret it, and the more ashamed I feel.

I really shouldn't have left my sister-in-law behind to protect me last night. I could have asked my brother-in-law to come instead. But I never thought of that, let alone that Miss Bai and my mother-in-law would come so early in the morning, bringing so many maids and nannies with them.

Lost in thought, he quietly entered the Bai residence through the back door.

The guards and maids he encountered on the road still greeted him respectfully, but the way they looked at him was clearly strange.

"The son-in-law seduced his sister-in-law, and was caught in the room by the young lady and the madam..."

"I heard that the Third Miss crawled out from under his bed without any clothes on..."

"Not wearing any clothes? I heard she was only wearing a bellyband..."

"I heard that not only the Third Miss crawled out from under the bed, but also her two maids, all completely naked..."

"This scholar's son-in-law is really playing tricks..."

"That's right, on the bed are those two little sluts, Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan, and I heard there are also the young lady's three little maids, and under the bed are the sister-in-law and her two little maids..."

"real or fake?"

"Bao Zhen!"

"Tsk tsk, so many, aren't you afraid of dying in bed?"

Luo Zijun's lips twitched as she listened to the furtive chatter of several old women in the corner.

That's giving him way too much credit!
Eight girls in one night?
How come he didn't know he was that amazing?

Sighing all the way back to Junziju, just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly saw a tall and slender figure wearing a long green dress walk out of the house.

"Brother-in-law, you've really gotten me into trouble!"

Miss Bai came out of the house and looked at him with a deep gaze.

Luo Zijun was startled and quickly said, "Why are you still here? Do Miss and Mother-in-law know?"

Bai Qingtong whispered, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I came here secretly without telling them."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun was almost ready to kick them out. What had just happened that morning, and now her sister-in-law had sneaked over to her brother-in-law's place. If they were discovered again, it would completely confirm the affair between her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Bai Qingtong said with a resentful look, "Brother-in-law just finished with me last night, and he's already turning his back on me today? That's too fast!"

Luo Zijun broke out in a cold sweat, glanced at the small door on the wall, and went over to ask in a low voice, "What do you want to see me about?"

Bai Qingtong sighed, "It all happened this morning. I tried to explain to Father and Mother, but they wouldn't listen and just waved me away. I went to explain to my sister, but she wouldn't see me. I... I don't know what to do anymore. And the way the maids and servants in the manor look at me..."

Luo Zijun understood this feeling perfectly, and could only say with shame, "It was my fault, it was all my fault..."

Bai Qingtong looked at him and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't come here to hear your apology, nor to discuss who's right and who's wrong. I just want you to think of a way to resolve this matter. Mother fainted today from anger, and the first thing she said when she woke up was that she wanted to beat me to death... Father clenched his fists, trembling with rage. If it weren't for my second uncle and aunt stopping him, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death by now..."

Then, she pouted and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Why do they want to kill me? It's not entirely my fault, and I'm their biological daughter. Even if they want to beat someone, they should come here and beat my brother-in-law to death, right?"

Luo Zijun: "..." "Brother-in-law, what should we do? I'm afraid there will be no place for me in this mansion from now on, sigh..."

She looked distressed and sighed, like a poor little cat about to be abandoned, with nowhere to go, and about to wander the streets.

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Luo Zijun said, "Well then, I'll go and explain to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and young lady now. Whether they believe me or not, I'll go and explain."

Bai Qingtong smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, what's the use of explaining now? Father and Mother are in a fit of anger and won't listen to a word. As for my sister, I can't even see her, let alone you."

Luo Zijun sighed and said, "Then we can only wait a few days until they calm down before explaining."

Bai Qingtong said, "Brother-in-law, what am I going to do these next few days? I don't dare go back to my own courtyard. How about I stay here with you?"

Luo Zijun's expression changed, and she quickly said, "No! How dare you do this at a time like this?"

Bai Qingtong said with a bitter face, "Then how about I go and stay at the Grand View Garden?"

"Grand View Garden?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun frowned, pondered for a moment, and before she could answer, she heard her say again, "Everyone says that place is my brother-in-law's harem. If I didn't have nowhere else to go, I wouldn't want to go there either."

Luo Zijun retorted angrily, "Who said that was my harem?"

Bai Qingtong said, "What my sister said, my mother also said, and other people in the manor have said it in private. When we first met, your senior sister also said it. People from other families have also said it. And some of my friends, every time they see me, ask me if I can go to my brother-in-law's harem to see his wives and concubines."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Brother-in-law, actually even people from the Jia family, and some people in the Grand View Garden, think so..."

"...Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"

"Brother-in-law, do you think I can go and live in the Grand View Garden?"

Bai Qingtong asked again.

Luo Zijun immediately said decisively, "No! You're not allowed to go!"

If he had hesitated at first, now that things have come to this point, and the Grand View Garden is being called his harem, what would it mean if he dared to agree?
"Go to your friend's place."

he suggested.

Bai Qingtong asked, "Won't my friends look down on me, saying that I'm a fugitive from justice and won't dare to take me in?"

Luo Zijun was speechless. They even came up with the idea of ​​fleeing from justice? What the hell?

Bai Qingtong suddenly added, "By the way, brother-in-law, I can go to Chujian Bookstore, to Sister Chujian's place!"

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment, then said in rejection, "No way!"

Bai Qingtong sighed and said, "That's right. Everyone in the manor knows, and my mother and sister know too. When I first met my sister, I found out that she was my brother-in-law's mistress, someone he kept outside. If I were to live there, wouldn't I also become my brother-in-law's... sigh."

Luo Zijun dared not listen any longer and said, "You should go back to your own courtyard."

Bai Qingtong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Brother-in-law, I've got it! I can stay with your senior sister temporarily! Your relationship with your senior sister is very secret. Apart from me, Daiyu, and a few others, no one else in the manor knows. If I stay there..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's my relationship with my senior sister? How is it a secret?"

Luo Zijun glared at her.

Bai Qingtong immediately said aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, why are you glaring at me... I just finished with you last night..."

"Alright, alright, go back now, if something happens later..."

Just as Luo Zijun was about to shoo her away, a head suddenly popped out from the top of the wall on the left. After glancing at the two of them, the head said, "Young Master, Third Miss, my young lady wants you to come over. She has something to say to you."

Upon hearing this, both of their expressions changed.

Bai Qingtong quickly went over and opened the small door, turning her head to say, "Brother-in-law, come quickly. Since my sister took the initiative to call us over to talk, she will definitely listen to our explanation."

Luo Zijun had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

According to his previous plan, he intended to ask Miss Bai for a divorce again tonight. Now that his sister-in-law is here, what should he say?

"Hmph, I told you this morning, you want me to divorce you so you can marry your sister-in-law, huh? What do you have to say now?"

Miss Bai would definitely mock him like that.

Although this might be the case, Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment before deciding to make things clear as soon as possible.

Now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he must test whether he has completely escaped the White Snake's mission.

"Miss, then just consider it as me marrying your sister. We are in love, but you look down on me. Why not help her find happiness and make yourself happy at the same time?"

Luo Zijun felt that this was a valid approach if absolutely necessary.

Since things have come to this point, there's no other choice but to get the divorce papers first and regain my freedom.
