Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Zhou Wenqing's originally furrowed brows relaxed instantly.

He paired it with some pastries and found that the sweet pastries had a unique flavor and were very delicious.

However, he had to admit that the taste of the plum soup was somewhat familiar. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he called Aqi over.

"I've met my lord."

When Aqi saw that the plum soup was finished, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the master had no appetite or was unwell, the lady would definitely be dissatisfied.

"Where did you get this plum soup? It's sweet and sour and delicious."

Seeing Zhou Wenqing's praise, Aqi breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile.

"To answer your Excellency, it was made by the eldest daughter of the Fu family in the teahouse. I thought you might like it, so I wanted to buy it, but Miss Fu refused to accept the money and gave it to me as a gift."

The smile on Zhou Wenqing's face faded, and he gradually came to his senses. The eldest daughter of the Fu family, is it Fu Qingning?

The beautiful appearance of the girl appeared in his mind, just like the girl in his memory. The dream just now made his heart tremble.

However, the next second Zhou Wenqing said, "Miss Fu is currently at the White Deer Academy, and she's Madam's elder sister. I should go visit her."

Aqi hurriedly said, "Sir, your current status does not require this."

Zhou Wenqing didn't care about all this. Instead, he picked up the bowl and drank the plum soup in one gulp. Then he stood up and walked towards the tea room of Bailu Academy.

From a distance, he could hear the girls' cheerful conversations and their laughter as sweet as silver bells.

"Miss, I also want to learn how to make plum soup. Please teach me so that I can make it for you in the future."

In the tea room, Mingyue pleaded coquettishly. As a clever maid, she certainly didn't want Shi Qing to cook himself.

Shi Qing smiled and did not refuse. When she heard footsteps beside her ear, she said softly.

"Plum soup is actually very simple to make. When we were in Qingshui County, we would make plum soup every summer to cool down. Back then, the tea we had wasn't high-quality Pu'er, but just some aged tea. But the taste was unforgettable!"

After saying that, Shi Qing poured a bowl of plum soup, drank it in one breath, and then said with a smile.

"The plums from June are dried and made into black plums. Add jasmine flowers from July, use Pu'er tea as an initiator, and add a little sugar to taste. The plum soup made in this way is really delicious."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, as if it carried a kind of magic that made people want to try the plum soup.

Mingyue seemed to be lost in thought. She was very smart and knew how to make plum soup after just listening to it once.

"I will definitely try next time."

The master and servant were talking and laughing, completely unaware that their conversation had been heard by the men outside the teahouse.

Zhou Wenqing's face was as pale as paper, and every word Shi Qing said echoed in his ears. These words were so familiar, as his first wife had once said the same thing to him.

Four years ago, the first year of their marriage, he was going to a private school in the county town to study.

It was the height of summer, and Wan Qingqing was worried that he would get heatstroke due to the unbearable heat.

So, she worked tirelessly and stayed up late to cook two large pots of plum soup for him. She also personally helped him pack the plum soup into his luggage and asked him to take it to the academy.

Every year's salary was earned by Wan Qingqing through hard work day and night, burning the midnight oil.

She accumulated those small changes of silver and copper coins bit by bit, slowly paving the way for Zhou Wenqing to rise to the top and becoming the ladder for him to reach the top.

However, beneath the ladder lay the cold corpse of Wan Qingqing.

"System, I can sense Zhou Wenqing nearby."

Shi Qing's heart moved, and he suddenly asked the system.

[Yes, host, Zhou Wenqing is hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on your conversation.]

Tuanzi didn't forget to remind while eating melon.

Shi Qing remained unmoved and calmly communicated with Tuanzi using his consciousness.

"I knew it when he showed up. I liked to eavesdrop, so I let him."

Anyway, what I said just now was meant for him to hear.

"It's getting late. Let's go back home so that grandma and father won't worry."

The girl said this with a smile, her tone light and lively.

She was born into a wealthy family, a stark contrast to Wan Qingqing, who died in a mass grave. There was no connection between them...

Zhou Wenqing's eyes dimmed. He stood there quietly, watching Shi Qing walk out of the tea room.

Just as he was about to say hello to Shi Qing, an accident happened.

Because the girl's dress was too long, she accidentally tripped over the hem of her dress and was about to fall to the ground.

Zhou Wenqing stretched out his hand without hesitation and supported the girl to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.

The two bodies were instantly close, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly. When she raised her head and saw Zhou Wenqing, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately took a step back, putting some distance between herself and Zhou Wenqing.

"So it's my brother-in-law. Thank you very much."

The girl said softly, her voice carrying a hint of indifference.

The close contact just now made her feel a little embarrassed, and the alienation at this moment seemed like an instinctive reaction.

However, Zhou Wenqing's mood became complicated.

Just now, the girl's body temperature and fragrance were still lingering in his arms, but now she suddenly pulled away, making him feel inexplicably lost.

His eyes rested on the girl's face, examining her features carefully.

The girl's skin is as white as snow, crystal clear, and as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade.

Her face was so beautiful that even at the age of twenty, she could still outshine other noble ladies in the capital.

After all, she and Wan Qingqing are different. If Qingqing had a background like hers, he would never have given up on her.

The man's gaze made Shi Qing frown slightly, a trace of displeasure rising in her heart, and she said with a sullen face.

"It's getting late. I have to go back home. Goodbye."

After saying that, Shi Qing turned around and prepared to leave with Mingyue.

However, Zhou Wenqing, who was usually dignified and elegant, seemed to be bewildered by something at this moment. He held Shi Qing's hand tightly, refusing to let go, and said in a low voice.

"I have to go back home too. Why don't you walk a little with me and give Big Sister a ride?"

The corners of his mouth raised a hint of smile, which brightened people's eyes, but Shi Qing found it very dazzling.

Shi Qing couldn't help but feel annoyed. He tried to pull his hand back and responded unhappily.

"We're not on the way, are you kidding me?"

Zhou Wenqing didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with his behavior, but continued to pester her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mingyue immediately stepped forward, stopped Zhou Wenqing, and said in a firm tone.

"Please respect yourself, uncle! The Second Miss is your wife, please don't disturb our young lady."

Her eyes were full of warning and dissatisfaction, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Wenqing's actions.

As they were talking, Mingyue protected Shi Qing and was about to leave, but Zhou Wenqing blocked their way. Shi Qing raised his eyebrows. What's the difference between this person and a dog-skin plaster?

If there is any difference, even a dog-skin plaster is not as shameless as him.

Zhou Wenqing looked at Fu Mingyue, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he still said in a deep voice: "Mingyue, don't talk too much!"

Then he turned to look at Shi Qing, with some anticipation in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"My elder sister Yunying is still unmarried. I wonder if she has chosen a future husband. If not, how about marrying me as my concubine?"

Hearing this, Archie was stunned. The adult who was usually as gentle as the breeze and bright moon actually said such frivolous words at this moment.

The eldest daughter of the Fu family is the lady's elder sister after all, so your behavior is really inappropriate.

Aqi thought to himself and was very surprised by Zhou Wenqing's behavior.

Fu Mingyue was so angry that her face turned red. Her fighting ability was usually quite good, but now she just started cursing?

"It's fine that my young lady was misunderstood by the second young lady because of you, but doesn't Lord Zhou know how to write the four words of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?"

She widened her eyes and glared at Zhou Wenqing as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Zhou Wenqing frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Mingyue's attitude, but he ignored her and continued to stare at Shi Qing, waiting for her answer.

He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Shi Qing would agree to his proposal and become his concubine.

Zhou Wenqing's face was as thick as a city wall, and he was extremely arrogant.

Now that he has won the appreciation of Emperor Wen'an and holds great power, it is natural that there are people in the court who flatter him, and some even begin to curry favor with Old Madam Zhou.

This made Zhou Wenqing even more complacent, and he even thought that he would be the next prime minister.

But he didn't care about Wan Qingqing's death.

Now that he is appreciated by Emperor Wen An, what kind of woman can't he want?

So, he decided to find a substitute to replace Wan Qingqing.

Fu Qingning is old, and it is a great blessing for her to have a woman like this marry him as his equal wife.

He even felt that he had given Fu Qingning enough face.

Shi Qing naturally didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Wenqing, but she suddenly thought that there might be someone in the court who could suppress Zhou Wenqing, so she said it casually.

"My brother-in-law is so shameless. I don't know if my dear sister knows about it. However, Master Situ and I are in love and have already made an engagement, so you don't have to worry about my marriage."

Zhou Wenqing's expression suddenly changed. How could Situ Jin possibly be interested in an old woman like Fu Qingning? He would not allow Fu Qingning to marry someone else with this face.

He pressed on step by step, forcing Shi Qing into a corner. The mask of gentleness he usually wore was now removed, and he was like a ferocious beast in the dark night, killing people without blinking an eye.

"There's nothing I haven't achieved. If you understand your own position, you'll know that marrying me as your equal is a great blessing."

Shi Qing laughed sarcastically and slapped Zhou Wenqing in the face.

"Do you want this blessing? You're just a peasant from Yunxi Village, and my second sister is blind to like your appearance.

But I, Fu Qing, would rather not be blind. I know you have some means, but I am not a pushover either. The power of life and death is not in your hands."

There was also ruthlessness in the girl's eyes, as well as hatred that Zhou Wenqing could not understand. After all, she was different from the delicate and weak noble ladies in the capital, and she actually fought back directly.

Zhou Wenqing was not angry. He stroked the corner of his mouth that was hit by Shi Qing, and his eyes were full of determination.

"You said you and Situ Jin were in love, Fu Qingning, lying is not a good idea. With the Situ family's background, even if he was interested in you, he would only see you as a plaything. You don't really take yourself seriously, do you?"

He raised his hand and wanted to embrace Shi Qing in his arms, but a gust of breeze blew over, and Zhou Wenqing felt a sharp aura around him. Before he could see who was coming, he was kicked to the ground.

Shi Qing was held by the waist by someone and embraced in his arms. The person had the scent of pine ink on him, which was very pleasant.

She was slightly stunned. Why was Situ Jin here?

Shi Qing raised her eyes and inadvertently met Situ Jin's gaze. Thinking of what she had just said, she just wanted to use Situ Jin's name, but she didn't expect that her words would come true.

She felt a little guilty. It turned out that there were some things that couldn't be said casually, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Situ Jin did not expose her, but just put his arm around her waist in a familiar manner, his voice low and pleasant.

"I'm late, fiancée."

Mingyue had a look of bewilderment on her face. She was by the young lady's side every day, so how could she not know that the young lady and Lord Situ were actually interacting? Could it be that she had missed something...

However, compared to the inexplicable entanglement of the second girl's husband, although Situ Youxiang is unlucky in marriage, he is much better than Zhou Wenqing.

Thinking of what was said just now, Mingyue felt that Zhou Wenqing was very hateful.

Seeing the girl's blushing cheeks, Situ Jin let her go. If his grandfather had not asked him to secretly protect Fu Qingning, he would not be in Bailu Academy at this moment.

As for what I said just now, it was just to help Fu Qingning out of trouble.

Situ Jin told himself this.

Zhou Wenqing got up from the ground with an expression of disbelief, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing Situ Jin, who was usually cold, taking good care of Shi Qing, he felt inexplicably broken down.

At this moment, a woman's clear voice came from a distance.

"Master."

Zhou Wenqing's face froze slightly. When he came to his senses, he saw Fu Yayun walking towards him with her maid and a food box in her hands.

Situ Jin didn't linger for long. He said in a deep voice, "Master Zhou, you are now in charge of the White Deer Academy. Your words and actions are under consideration. I hope you won't disappoint His Majesty. If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, you should know the consequences."

Zhou Wenqing's lips turned pale, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just now. Although the empress dowager was secretly in power, the real power still lay with Emperor Wen'an.

He was under the command of the Queen Mother and could only follow her orders, but there were some things he shouldn't do.

Situ Jin's threat did work, Zhou Wenqing said unwillingly.

"Master Situ, you must be joking. I was just talking nonsense just now."

Situ Jin ignored him and just took Shi Qing's hand and left.

Zhou Wenqing's originally humble expression became sharp. Looking at the direction where Shi Qing left, jealousy grew wildly in his heart.

How could Fu Qingning be engaged to Situ Jin? She looks like Wan Qingqing, so she can only marry him as a concubine.

Is she worthy of being the wife of the Right Prime Minister?

She can only be by her side!

Zhou Wenqing was thinking a little crazily in his heart, until Fu Yayun came to his side, his emotions calmed down.

Fu Yayun looked at the figure disappearing not far away, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw Fu Qingning just now.

Thinking of those rumors, she couldn't help but guess that Zhou Wenqing didn't want to go home because of Fu Qingning!
