Reborn: The First Rank "Madam"

Reborn: The First Rank “Madam” – C88

C88 – Mother, This Is Your Daughter-in-law!

Sitting on the chair in frustration, Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t help but curse in his heart: Fuck! What the heck was going on!?

Since he couldn’t find Madame Lu for a reason, he could only place this debt on Lu Zheng. It was perfectly justified for his mother to repay him!

He could understand the madame’s motive, but he still felt humiliated. He didn’t know if Lu Zheng knew about this beforehand, but if it was … Zuo Shaoqing clenched his fists. His sharp nails pierced his palms, but he only felt pain in his heart.

Clutching his chest, he thought depressingly: So this is what heartache is like. No wonder people say that love is a hateful thing. Even a small tribulation like this can make him lose his cool.

Lu Zheng stayed in the lobby for a long time without seeing Zuo Shaoqing. He had a bad premonition. With the excuse that something was up, he left the court officials and friends behind and went to look for Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing didn’t want to go out and face Lu Zheng. When his body recovered, he didn’t want to move. He just lazily sat there with his hands under his chin, thinking about something.

Lu Zheng looked for him along the way. Seeing his dispirited expression, he couldn’t help but worry a little. He hugged him and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Zuo Shaoqing pushed him away and turned his head without saying a word.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and turned his head around. Seeing that he still ignored him, he moved a chair over and sat down across from him in a daze. Although he did not know exactly what had happened, he was sure it was related to the madame.

He reached out to hug Zuo Shaoqing, then patted his back and kissed the top of his head, “Don’t be angry. If you suffer any grievances in the future, tell this grandpa, this grandpa will seek justice for you.”

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed against his chest and thought: This time, he almost got the old mistress’s way. This justice will never come back. Otherwise, wouldn’t he become the main culprit behind the relationship between mother and son? She would definitely not be acknowledged by the madame then.

In any case, the other side did not succeed, Zuo Shaoqing thought angrily: “This first match is his win, and now we have to deal with it. He doesn’t believe that a man can’t beat an old woman!”

At this moment, the old woman he was thinking about was happily drinking tea. Listening to the maid’s report, hearing Zuo Shaoqing’s failure, she was half regretful and half gratified as she nodded: “Not bad, not bad, at least she’s not a scholar.”

The woman who tried to seduce Zuo Shaoqing said aggrievedly: “Madam, the would-be Madam said that he doesn’t want to see this servant anymore.”

The old mistress was stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing, without any trace of nobility. “Since that’s the case, you can go to Tong An Hall and choose some smart girls for me. Ah, I’m so considerate.”

At this moment, Maid Zhong ran in and said, “Madam, I have brought along a would-be mistress.”

The old mistress hurriedly stopped smiling and urged, “Hurry, are you looking at my makeup? Shouldn’t you change your clothes?”

Maid Zhong comforted him, “That’s good then.” It’s not like I haven’t seen them just now!

When Lu Zheng brought Zuo Shaoqing in, he saw that his mother was both dignified and solemn, as she had never been before.

His sharp eyes swept across the maidservants present and questioned, “What happened just now?”

Everyone shrunk their necks and cast their gazes at the madame.

“What’s wrong? What are you doing here instead of greeting the guests in front of you? Why is he so angry? Maid Zhong, hurry up and get the kitchen to boil a pot of soup for the fire!”

Lu Zheng pulled Zuo Shaoqing in front of the madame and introduced her as such: “Mother, this is your daughter-in-law!”

Zuo Shaoqing was confused ever since he stepped in. Now that he heard Lu Zheng introducing him so openly, he nervously looked at the madame, waiting for her to yell the word “no”.

Although the three words “daughter-in-law” sounded awkward, Zuo Shaoqing was still looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Shaoqing waited for a long time for the madame to reply indifferently, “Oh.”

Lu Zheng poked Zuo Shaoqing, who was dumbstruck, and lightly ordered: “Call someone.”

Zuo Shaoqing commanded one action at a time, and obediently called out: “Good day, madame.”

The madame’s eyebrows were raised and her face was gloomy. There was not the slightest bit of happiness on her face, causing Zuo Shaoqing to feel anxious.

He felt that as long as he was a man in this life, he wouldn’t be able to win the madame’s favor.

Just when he was at a loss, Lu Zheng poked him again, “Call me mother.”

Zuo Shaoqing felt that the feeling of being struck by lightning in his previous life was even better than now. All of the nerves in his body tensed up, and it was indescribable … Nervous.

In the Zuo Family, he could only call Lady Ruan “Aunt” and Mrs. Xue “Mother”. He rarely called her “Mother”.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zuo Shao braced himself and called out, “Mother.”

Miraculously, the madame’s face looked better. Although it was still calm, at least it no longer made Zuo Shaoqing feel depressed.

“She hasn’t even gotten married yet, it’s a little too early to call her mother.” Although the madame had said so, she did not object.

When Zuo Shaoqing heard the word “married”, he was completely petrified.

Originally, his greatest dream was to live a lifetime with Lu Zheng and the beautiful and peaceful. He never thought that he would ever be able to marry Lu Zheng.

How did two men get married? No matter how knowledgeable Zuo Shaoqing was, he had never heard of such an exception. He thought that as long as Lu Zheng didn’t keep him in the backyard, he would be a Amitabha.

After the surprise, there was ecstasy. Zuo Shaoqing’s face unconsciously broke into a silly smile, which made the old mistress frown.

How on earth did such a bookworm get his son’s attention?

“Alright, we’ve seen him. We’ll be leaving first.” Zuo Shaoqing was brought in muddle-headedly, but was pulled out muddle-headedly by Lu Zheng.

In his ears, he seemed to hear Madame Lu nagging unhappily, “I really forgot my mother when I had a wife!”

Halfway through, Zuo Shaoqing finally came back to his senses. He pulled Lu Zheng and said, “Master Lu …”

“Hmm?”

Zuo Shaoqing wanted to hear Lu Zheng admit it himself, but he didn’t know how to ask. He couldn’t possibly ask Lu Zheng if he would really marry him, right? How strange.

“What are you thinking about?” A thick palm touched his head, making him feel warm.

Zuo Shaoqing was no longer at a loss. He raised a big smile, “It’s fine, you go first. It’s not good for us to appear together.”

Lu Zheng didn’t mind and nodded, “Let Yinyi follow you for the next few days. Be quiet and don’t go out too often.”

Without waiting for Zuo Shaoqing to argue, he already took big steps and left. Zuo Shaoqing was so angry that his teeth were itching.

When he returned to the dining room, Zuo Yunwen and Zuo Shaoyan both asked in a displeased tone, “Why did you go so long?”

Zuo Shaoqing tugged on the clothes that were too fitting for him, “The house doesn’t have any clothes suitable for me, so the manager specifically went out to buy them. That’s why he took up some time.”

Zuo Yunwen and his son also saw the difference in his clothes. Not only was it new, it fit his body well and they believed his words. They even secretly sighed with admiration at the consideration and consideration of the Wu Steel Manor.

However, the two of them couldn’t help but glance at Zuo Shaoqing a few times. They discovered that Zuo Shaoqing, who was wearing a gorgeous, smoky clothes, suddenly lit up. Along with his smiling face, there was a sense of nobility.

Zuo Shaoyan shook his head. He must have been seeing things, or else where did an inconspicuous bastard get such a noble title?

Zuo Yunwen thought with satisfaction: Not bad, not bad, you are indeed my descendant from Zuo Family. In the past, I didn’t think much of it, but after I became a High Scholar, I was still able to hold on.

What they didn’t know was that Zuo Shaoqing had stayed in the Jiang’s Mansion for six years in his previous life.

In the past, he had only deliberately disguised himself, making himself look like a timid and cowardly youth. Now that he revealed half of his true appearance, naturally, it was different.

Zuo Shaoqing didn’t care what they thought. He spent a lot of time changing his clothes, and before he even sat down to eat, he found that the banquet was about to end. Unfortunately, his stomach was still empty.

Someone suggested to play polo. The young masters all agreed. However, the moment the food was removed, soldiers from the military camp rushed over. No one knew what news was reported. Master Lu frowned slightly and then announced that he would leave first.

How could anyone dare to object? It was a pity that he missed a chance to get along with Master Lu. Since Master Lu was out all year round, there were very few officials in the capital who could talk to him.

As soon as Lu Zheng left, the butler came in and said with a smile: “Ladies and gentlemen, the madame said to keep the madams and misses to watch the show. Please go back first, she will send someone to escort you back later.”

“How can I trouble you, sir? It is enough for us to keep the carriage guards.”

The old butler didn’t insist and personally sent everyone out. When Zuo Shaoqing passed by him, he suddenly reached out his hand to stop him, “Third Master Zuo, please wait a moment!”

The four men from Zuo Family turned around and looked at him in confusion.

The old butler fished out a paper bag from somewhere and handed it over to Zuo Shaoqing. He bent down and said, “The old housekeeper found out that the servants were reckless and disturbed San Ye’s banquet. She ordered this old servant to bring some snacks back for you to taste.”

Zuo Shaoqing was surprised and happy to hear that. He was surprised that the madame could do such a small thing in detail. He was happy that the madame had taken such special care of him. Didn’t that mean that he had already passed the initial stage?

Zuo Shaoqing immediately decided to not argue about the matter with her and even said emotionally: “Please thank the madame for me.”

“You’re welcome.” After the old butler finished speaking, he did not care about the others’ expressions and turned to enter.
