Reborn: The First Rank "Madam"

C226 – Married to

The moment Lu Zheng and Zuo Shaoqing left the palace, they saw Luo Xiaoliu, who was waiting there. That person was leaning against the carriage and looking left and right with his thin legs swinging. Next to him was Yinyi, who was easily overlooked.

Seeing the masters coming out, Luo Xiaoliu spit out the candy in his mouth, jumped down from the carriage and said: “Master San, Zuo’s Mansion sent a messenger just now, asking you to come back today if you have the time.”

Zuo Shaoqing’s smiling face suddenly turned cold. Yesterday, when he just returned home, the first thing he did was to get someone to load up a cart of New Year’s goods and send it to Zuo Family in great fanfare. On the other hand, he planned to use the excuse that he was busy with official business to hide for a few days.

“Since you have nothing to do in the afternoon, I’ll accompany you.” Lu Zheng held his hand to ease his mind.

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and didn’t pull back his hand. Instead, he pulled him into the carriage. As for the horse that Lu Zheng rode over, Yinyi would take it back with him.

“I just don’t want to see that family anymore. My good mood has been ruined.”

“Since I don’t mind, then why should I affect their mood?” Lu Zheng’s attitude towards Zuo Family was always ignored. With his identity, as long as Zuo Family wasn’t too excessive, he wouldn’t make things difficult for them. However, don’t even think about him getting close to them.

Zuo Shaoqing wanted to tell Lu Zheng about his past life, but it was only for an instant. He didn’t want Lu Zheng to know about the things that never happened in his life.

Perhaps others would think that his hatred for Zuo Family was too extreme, but Zuo Shaoqing himself knew that him not killing off all of his Zuo Family in his lifetime was already all thanks to Lu Zheng.

Zuo Shaoqing had killed his father and murdered his mother with a heart of death in his previous life. In this life, he had Lu Zheng, and he had a complete family. He had a bright future, and wasn’t willing to sully his own reputation for Zuo Family.

“Let’s go and see what they have in mind!” Zuo Shaoqing let Luo Xiaoliu drive the car and ordered, “Go back to the mansion to pick up Zuo Xiaolang, we have to let him meet grandpa and grandma!”

“Why not grandparents?” Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

Zuo Shaoqing retorted boldly: “I’m not a woman!”

Lu Zheng slowly emphasized, “Married to a husband!” So, what difference does a woman have? Zuo Family was Zuo Shaoqing’s parents’ home.

Zuo Shaoqing glared at him without saying anything. His earlobes showed signs of reddening.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Sun Steel Manor. Zuo Shaoqing didn’t get off the car and instead told Luo Xiaoliu to carry Zuo Xiaolang out.

Not long later, a pretty boy in a bright red coat rushed out, followed by Luo Xiaoliu who was panting and an elderly butler.

This was the first time Zuo Shaoqing saw Zuo Xiaolang wear this … The atmosphere of happiness was so pleasing to the eyes that it caused them to light up. He once again praised his foresight; he was actually able to discover beautiful jade from the dregs.

Zuo Xiaolang rushed to the front of the carriage. He pushed himself up with his hands and jumped onto the carriage. His movements were quick and agile. In the blink of an eye, he jumped into Zuo Shaoqing’s arms.

“Daddy …” After waking up, he couldn’t see his two fathers, so Zuo Xiaolang cuddled up in Zuo Shaoqing’s arms.

When he woke up this morning, he found himself in a strange place. He looked around for his father, but he couldn’t find him. Fortunately, he could smell their scent in the master bedroom, so he calmed down a little.

However, not being able to see him for most of the day still made Zuo Xiaolang depressed. He was afraid that he would be abandoned again.

Zuo Shaoqing hugged his soft body, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face, “What? You missed your father in just half a day? Xiaolang is really a child! “

Zuo Xiaolang muttered something in a low voice and went even further into Zuo Shaoqing’s embrace.

Zuo Shaoqing forgot that he should be taught a lesson for his reckless actions. He hugged him, rubbed and pinched him, and almost cried out for mercy.

Lu Zheng looked at the father and son pair who were so fed up with each other. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he did not separate them as usual.

After the father and son pair had calmed down, Zuo Xiaolang asked about the purpose of this trip. Zuo Shaoqing pinched his nose and replied, “Let’s go to a place first, then father will take you to visit the capital, okay?”

Zuo Xiaolang didn’t have any concept of shopping in his heart, but he had never had a peaceful personality. Of course, he would be happy to go out and play.

He put the box in his hand into the carriage and bowed as he said, “Masters, this is a congratulatory gift that this old servant has prepared for our family.”

“Didn’t you deliver a carriage yesterday?” Why do you still want to send him off? ” In order to let everyone in the capital know his filial piety, Zuo Shaoqing had given them a large carriage full of gifts.

“It’s not good to come empty-handed. Master San, you’re a guest, so it’s better to be polite.”

When Zuo Shaoqing heard the word “guest”, he nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that’s right. We are guests after all. I’m the one being petty.”

The housekeeper followed the old lady to visit Youuxi Town, and all the good feelings he had towards Zuo Family vanished like smoke in thin air. Naturally, he also followed the old lady who did not like Zuo Family.

“It’s getting late, let’s go.” Lu Zheng said, “We won’t come back for dinner tonight, so the kitchen doesn’t have to prepare anything.”

“Yes.” The butler took a step back and let the carriage pass by.

“You’re not coming back for dinner? Unless we still have to eat dinner at Zuo’s Mansion? ” Zuo Shaoqing frowned and asked.

Lu Zheng felt that Zuo Shaoqing was childish and immediately pinched his cheeks, “Of course I’m going out to eat!”

Zuo Shaoqing waved his hand and muttered, “That’s more like it!”

When they arrived at Zuo’s Mansion, everyone was already standing at the door to welcome them. The battle situation was even better than the first time Zuo Shaoqing went back to the door, and there was even a hint of being consort.

Zuo Shaoqing thought: It’s a pity that I can’t see the scene of Zuo Family kneeling down to salute, otherwise it would be even more exciting.

After the car came to a stop, Lu Zheng was the first to jump off. He turned around and held Zuo Xiaolang in one hand and Zuo Shaoqing in the other. That scene was extremely warm and beautiful.

When the people from Zuo’s Mansion saw the little boy that was being carried by Lu Zheng, they were all stunned. Master Lu had only been gone for a short time, how did he become such a big child when he had just returned? Could it be his illegitimate son?

The corner of Mrs. Xue’s mouth curled up as she lowered her head to look at him with a mocking expression.

Zuo Yunwen was the first to react. He went up and cupped his hands towards Lu Zheng, “I didn’t expect that my good son-in-law would also come. Please come in.”

Lu Zheng answered with an “En” and didn’t let go of Zuo Shaoqing’s hand.

“Father, your son is only going home. Why do you need to put in so much effort?” Zuo Shaoqing said his polite words, but his eyes didn’t have the slightest hint of embarrassment.

Zuo Yunwen also knew that his way of doing things was a bit too snobbish, but after hearing that Zuo Shaoqing was already a Prefect and that they needed his help, he naturally had to let Zuo Shaoqing see their sincerity.

“You’ve been gone for a few months, and everyone’s missed you, so they can’t wait to come out and see you.” Zuo Yunwen extended his hand and tried to hold Zuo Shaoqing’s hand, but Zuo Shaoqing easily avoided it.

Zuo Shaoqing took Zuo Xiaolang from Lu Zheng’s arms and ignored Zuo Yunwen’s awkwardness. He smiled and introduced him, “Father, this is my son, Zuo Xiaolan.”

“This …” Those who thought it was Master Lu’s son were stunned.

Mrs. Xue walked over quickly with a fake smile on her face and asked, “Shao Qing, where did you get such a big child? Not a cheap son who’s been raised by others, right? “

Mrs. Xue had urged Zuo Yunwen to call Zuo Shaoqing back because she wanted to send her grandson back to the Liu Steel Manor. She didn’t expect Duke Zhen to carry her before she even opened her mouth. How could she smile?

“Mother is joking. Although Xiaolang is not my biological son, but he will be my ‘only’ son in the future.” Zuo Shaoqing replied politely.

“Hehe, from what you’re saying, it’s better to have more sons. The more sons, the better.”

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at Lu Zheng’s position, raised his voice and said, “That might not be the case. Look at the Wu Steel Manor’s fifth generation single-handed transmission, isn’t it always very good?”

On the contrary, their family of three or four did not have any brotherly feelings. Even Zuo Shaoyan and Zuo Shaoling did not have much feelings for each other.

Mrs. Xue’s face stiffened. Because of the presence of Lu Zheng, she hurriedly nodded her head in agreement. “That’s true. Duke Zhen’s residence is not an ordinary residence. It’s naturally different.”

Zuo Shaoqing smiled and did not answer. He looked at the person standing outside the door and saw Zuo Shaoyan’s face that he had not seen for a long time.

“Has big brother been well? I heard that you’ve entered the Crown Prince, then you’ll definitely be able to get into high school for the next Imperial Examinations! “

Zuo Shaoyan’s mood was a bit delicate. The young man in front of him who had the temperament of an adult was becoming more and more incomprehensible. His calm and collected attitude could not even be compared to Zuo Yunwen.

Before Zuo Shaoqing left the capital, he would still feel indignant and envy the two of them for their different encounters. However, at this moment, he couldn’t even muster up a jealous heart anymore.

The chasm between the two had already made him lose the will to compete.

“A fourteen year old Prefecture Overseer who can’t even compare to his younger brother’s future is truly something that has never been seen before or seen before.”

“I was just lucky.” Zuo Shaoqing also noticed his change. At first, he thought that Zuo Shaoyan had regained his former self-confidence and pride, but after he opened his mouth, he could feel that something was different.

Zuo Shaoyan’s heart was as calm as lake water, but Mrs. Xue secretly gritted her teeth. The hand hidden in her sleeve had been punctured by her nails.

Why is it that all the benefits are taken by this vile spawn? Why did her son suffer so much? God is so unfair!

She adjusted her face and stepped forward. She took a child from Mrs. Hoe’s arms and walked over to Zuo Shaoqing. “Shao Qing, look, this is your nephew. He looks like your father.”

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him seriously. To be honest, he looked a bit like Zuo Yunwen. He looked around and didn’t see his father’s other son. He didn’t know if his son was more like him or his grandson.

“Cough, cough …” “Let’s talk after we enter the door. Why are you blocking the way?” Zuo Yunwen reprimanded him softly and then brought Lu Zheng into the mansion.

The family took their seats in the parlour. Lu Zheng and Zuo Yunwen sat in the main seat. Zuo Shaoqing sat under Lu Zheng, while Mrs. Xue continued to stand in front of Zuo Shaoqing with the child in her arms.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled as he listened to her praise the child who was only a few months old. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Mrs. Hoe’s beautiful face covered with dark clouds, looking angry and nervous.

With Lu Zheng around, Mrs. Xue felt too embarrassed to start talking about the child’s future. She secretly calculated how they should separate the two.

In the end, it was Zuo Yunwen who kindly invited Lu Zheng to play chess, allowing Zuo Shaoqing to accompany his family and chat more. That was how Mrs. Xue created the conditions.

After Lu Zheng left, Mrs. Xue spoke more bluntly. She first stared at Zuo Xiaolang for a while before quietly asking, “This child looks really good. It’s just that his face is a bit harsh. I’m afraid his luck won’t be good.”

Zuo Shaoqing sneered secretly and retorted, “Mother, don’t worry. With me and Master Lu here and the old lady who loves him, even if I don’t have any good fortune, I will become lucky.”

“You silly child, how can the wild children we find compare to our own? It is said that the blood in your body is related to your blood vessels. Even if you cannot have a biological child, you should at least find someone who is related to you by blood. “

“Mother is joking. Xiaolang is very good, it doesn’t matter if he is related by blood or not. What’s important is that he will be filial to me in the future. Even if he is, I’m not sure what will happen when he grows up, right?” Just look at Zuo Shaoling, so what if he’s his biological son?

“Look at what you’re saying, how can a child not be filial? However, this is not the case for someone who is unrelated to others. When he grows up, you must be careful when he finds out about it. “

Zuo Shaoqing naturally understood the meaning behind her words and tightened his grip on Zuo Xiaolang. Honestly speaking, he didn’t know what Zuo Xiaolang would become when he grew up. If he was good, then everything in the Liu Steel Manor would be his. He could only treat it as raising him for free. No matter what, he didn’t lose anything, right?

However, he didn’t believe that with his and Lu Zheng’s abilities, they wouldn’t even be able to teach a child well.

“Mother, you’re overthinking it!”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Mrs. Xue sneered, “You are just too naive. Since Master Lu is spoiling you now, you have to start planning for the future. Even if Master Lu doesn’t want to marry for the rest of his life, can you guarantee that he won’t have a new wife for the rest of his life? The child will be your support! “

Zuo Shaoqing sneered in his heart. He wasn’t a woman, he only lived for men his entire life.

“Even so…” I have Xiaolang! Master Lu really likes this child, and so do I! “

Zuo Xiaolang listened for a long time and more or less understood what was going on. He knew that this bad woman was talking bad about him, wanting his father to lose him and find another child. However, when he heard Zuo Shaoqing say that he liked her, his eyes lit up.

“Xiaolang loves Daddy best!” Zuo Xiaolang quickly expressed his feelings.

“Good girl!” Zuo Shaoqing gave Mrs. Xue a big kiss on his face, while secretly smiling at her darkened face.
