It was the third yr of Yuanping.

The wind was biting chilly, and fluttering snowflakes crammed the sky.

Clouds of smoke billowed throughout a small courtyard positioned within the northwest nook of the Chengguo Residence.

Luo Qingzhou was squatting by the brazier on the door in skinny garments. One in every of his palms was holding onto a bodice

that had a peony embroidered on it whereas the opposite hand was fanning the hearth vigorously to encourage it to take maintain.

Luo Qingzhou had picked up the firewood from exterior. The bottom exterior was lined with moist snow.

After the flames dried the wooden, the dried wooden quickly caught fireplace.

Luo Qingzhou coughed a number of instances from the smoke. He waved the fan in an try to fan the smoke away from him after which sat down by the brazier. He dried the bodice by fanning it over the hearth whereas he stared blankly into the flames.

Three days earlier.

When he wakened, he realized that he had transmigrated to this place.

He was at Mo Metropolis within the Nice Yan Empire.

He was the third son within the Chengguo Residence, however he was an illegitimate son.

Luo Qingzhou was a mild and frail-looking scholar.

In historical instances, the standing of a concubine’s son and a reputable son have been worlds aside.

If he was the son of a lady with out standing, his standing could be even decrease.

From the reminiscences of the unique host, Luo Qingzhou realized that his standing was even beneath that of an illegitimate son.

Three years in the past.

His mom introduced him to the Chengguo Residence they usually stayed there.

The top of the Chengguo Residence, Luo Yannian, gave him the standing of an illegitimate son. Nevertheless, Luo Yannian didn’t give his mom standing.

Even till final yr, when his mom abruptly handed away, she was not even given the standing of a concubine.

In non-public, the servants within the residence have been all discussing his background.

“His mom is a lady from the countryside. Who is aware of whether or not he’s actually Previous Grasp’s son? He doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance in look to Previous Grasp in any respect.”

“Previous Grasp is certainly variety. In my view, the mom and son are liars and must be chased out of the residence.”

The entire unique host’s reminiscences have been dangerous.

Luo Qingzhou sighed and flipped over the bodice.

What sort of younger grasp was he? In your complete Chengguo Residence, nobody handled him as one.

Even the maidservants and servants have been dressed higher than him. Even in winter, they may burn coal to maintain themselves heat.

As for him…

It was winter, however he was wearing a skinny coarse gown. He sat within the tiny, dilapidated courtyard by himself. Nobody cared about him.

How pitiful!

Though he had transmigrated, his physique and reminiscences had fused collectively. Therefore, Luo Qingzhou felt as if all these had occurred to him.

He felt a plethora of feelings. He felt repressed, bitter, aggrieved, and hateful.

Certainly, he additionally felt hatred.

His mom was solely in her thirties. She was initially very wholesome, however final yr, she died unexpectedly from a extreme sickness.

She died solely two days after contracting the sickness.

Clearly, there was one thing amiss.

The unique host’s soul had mysteriously wandered away from his physique, which was why he might take over his physique.

There was positively one thing unusual about it.

Luo Qingzhou knew that members of huge households schemed in opposition to one another and have been even prepared to kill to acquire advantages.

Nevertheless, he didn’t anticipate to come across one thing like this as quickly as he transmigrated.

It was not possible that he might be a wealthy younger grasp who deserted himself to a lifetime of pleasure and peacefully settle for no matter got here his manner.

Nevertheless, he was alone. He had no backer nor energy. How might he get himself out of his plight?

“Younger Grasp, Younger Grasp! I’ve excellent news for you!” A crisp and melodious voice rang out.

Following that, a frail-looking maidservant wearing emerald inexperienced garments bumped into the small courtyard, carrying chilly air behind her as she entered. She had a fragile face with infantile options. At that second, her face was full of pleasure.

Xiao Die was his solely maidservant.

Again then, as a result of Xiao Die had finished one thing improper, she was nearly thrown into the nicely by the First Madam. Nevertheless, Luo Qingzhou’s mom saved her.

From then on, she grew to become the mother-son duo’s maidservant and was very loyal to them.

Nevertheless, due to that, Xiao Die was usually bullied by the opposite maidservants and servants within the residence. She usually had bruises on her physique.

“What excellent news?”

Luo Qingzhou requested as he noticed the frail-looking lady.

To him, what excellent news might there be within the residence?

It might be the brand new yr quickly, so Luo Qingzhou guessed that the butler would both allocate a number of extra silver ingots to him or make a brand new set of garments for him.

In any case, they must pay a New 12 months’s go to to kinfolk collectively. Sporting tattered garments wouldn’t solely embarrass the Chengguo Residence but in addition First Madam.

Because the mistress of the Chengguo Residence, the First Madam—Madam Wang—detested it when others mentioned about her morals behind her again.

Nevertheless, this was not what Xiao Die needed to say.

Xiao Die stated excitedly, “I overheard Previous Grasp speaking to a visitor exterior the lounge earlier. First Madam was additionally there, and he or she talked about you. It appears to be about your marriage, Younger Grasp. You’re already an grownup this yr, so you possibly can tie the knot!”

Luo Qingzhou was shocked. “My marriage?”

On this period, everybody bought married early.

Furthermore, as soon as he bought married, he would have the ability to get his personal properties. Actually, he would have the ability to transfer out and stay by himself. That might give him much more freedom.

Nevertheless, he knew that First Madam wouldn’t be so variety as to permit him to get married and get the Luo household’s belongings.

He was the son of a concubine and couldn’t inherit many belongings. Furthermore, he couldn’t inherit Luo Yannian’s noble title. Regardless of that, he was nonetheless a son of the Luo Household. The Chengguo Residence was a big family and owned many companies. Giving him a home and a few properties was nothing to them.

Nevertheless, based mostly on his reminiscences regarding the previous three years, Luo Qingzhou knew that there needed to be one thing extra to this.

Even when First Madam was beneficiant to these maidservants and servants, she would positively not be beneficiant to him.

Xiao Die stated, “After you get married, we’ll transfer out! I can do the work of three folks. I promise to take excellent care of you and your spouse.”

“I ponder which girl you’ll marry, Younger Grasp. Along with your standing, she should be the daughter of an prosperous household. I’m certain she’ll be a stunner!”

Xiao Die was already fantasizing about her future life.

At this second, Butler Wang’s voice abruptly got here from exterior the door. “Is the Third Younger Grasp right here? Previous Grasp and Madam wish to see him.”

Luo Qingzhou abruptly had a nasty feeling.

Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to hesitate. He stood up, handed the bodice over to Xiao Die, and walked out of the courtyard.

Xiao Die’s eyes widened as she stared on the bodice in her hand. She was shocked for a second earlier than her face flushed crimson.

How might Younger Grasp steal her undergarment? This was a lady’s undergarment. She had washed it and left it within the room earlier…

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the small courtyard.

A barely plump middle-aged man stood exterior the door. He was wearing a grey brocade gown.

He was the Second Butler of the Chengguo Residence, Wang Cheng.

He was stated to be a relative of First Madam.

Butler Wang was totally different from the others. Irrespective of who he was chatting with, he was very well mannered. He was even well mannered to Luo Qingzhou, the illegitimate son who everybody disregarded.

“Third Younger Grasp, it is best to have a change of garments. You continue to have to fulfill essential friends later.”

Butler Wang smiled and bowed barely. He was very well mannered and respectful to Luo Qingzhou. No fault might be discovered with him.

“Butler Wang, which visitor do I’ve to see?”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and adopted behind. He intentionally pretended to behave humbly and cowardly, and he spoke in a cautious tone.

That was how the earlier host behaved.

Butler Wang smiled and stated, “You’ll know while you go, Third Younger Grasp.”

Luo Qingzhou’s eyes flickered, however he didn’t ask additional.
