      Rebirth - Cang Ming

      FINISH

      CHAPTER 101 - YOUR REWARD OR MINE?

      In Ting Lan Yuan, Mrs. Xue was looking at her daughter's swollen cheeks with anger, so angry that she smashed down a few good pieces, This Fifth Princess is going too far. No way, this matter must be made known by the madame!

      Zuo Shuhui pulled Mrs. Xue's sleeve and said in a sobbing tone, Mother, the madame is her aunt. Can we really defeat her? Today... Her daughter had personally seen her whip a palace maid to death. That malicious woman … She even threatened our daughter …

      Zuo Shuhui was quite frightened today. She didn't want to go on the date, but Fifth Princess definitely had no reason to reject her post. Moreover, she was not the only girl that was invited, no matter how unruly Fifth Princess was, she shouldn't do anything to her in front of the audience.

      Who knew that this Jadeite Leaf would be so audacious. Not only did he beat her to death in broad daylight, he even mocked and ridiculed her. His words were full of threats.

      There was a cold corpse lying on the ground, and the surrounding young mistresses didn't even look at it. They were still chatting happily, as if she was just a country girl who had never seen the world before.

      Zuo Shuhui did not consider herself to be soft-hearted. She had taught her servants a lesson, but she had never personally taken anyone's life. This kind of scene had greatly disturbed her.

      However, in addition to her fear, she was also slightly excited. This was power! This was the power to control the life and death of others from a high vantage point, causing one's heart to heat up.

      If she could successfully marry Lu Zheng, so what if Fifth Princess's status was high? Would she be able to bully Duke Zhen Manor?

      Mrs. Xue helped her clean the medicine and comforted her: Don't be afraid, she's only trying to scare you. How can our great young miss of Zuo Family compare to the palace maids who just might as well be. No matter how ruthless she is, she wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you, it's just that …

      Zuo Shuhui snapped out of her daze and looked at Mrs. Xue expectantly. But what?

      It's just that we have to think of a way to avoid the limelight. There have been too many people sending you messages in the past two days, so we can't tell which ones are truly out to harm you. We might as well find an excuse.

      Zuo Shuhui also felt that it made sense. She had felt quite a bit of enmity these past two days. The way those people looked at her was full of envy and jealousy, as if they wanted to eat her alive.

      As long as she did not marry into Duke Zhen's mansion, others would not fear her. A powerful person like Fifth Princess even dared to threaten her.

      Recalling that Fifth Princess had also killed a young miss of a certain rich family, Zuo Shuhui felt her hair stand on end. She suggested, Mother, how about we stay at Aunt's place?

      That's good, but your big brother … Mrs. Xue was worried about her eldest son, who was currently preparing for the exam. Even though he wasn't home, she still felt uneasy.

      Mother, there's eldest sister-in-law at home. If you don't, please keep Senior Servant Zhu here. The housekeeper is here too, it'll just be a matter of a few streets away. That day at the Duke Zhen Manor, the mother and daughter asked for the aunt's address. The reason why they still hadn't come was because they had not been here for twenty years and were afraid of her.

      Mrs. Xue thought about it and called over all the stewards in the mansion, preparing to make some good arrangements. As for Luo Xiaoliu and Zuo Shaoqing, who had just caused trouble, she didn't have the time to take care of them.

      As long as her son and daughter had good prospects, would they still care about an unremarkable bastard? How would she teach him a lesson then?

      Although the commotion over at Mrs. Xue's side wasn't too big, it couldn't be hidden. Zuo Shaoqing received the news very quickly, he still lowered his head and wrote a profound plan. He instructed: Go and ask about how many days they will be going for.

      He had previously said that he would give Mrs. Hoe a chance, but before he could think of a way, the other side had already sent him a pillow.

      Luo Xiaoliu got the mission and went out in high spirits.

      Since Mrs. Xue and her sister hadn't been in contact for twenty years, it was impossible for them to be close. Mrs. Xue sent a letter over first, explaining how much she missed her sister and then told her that her daughter was lonely at home and wanted to communicate with her sisters.

      Little Mrs. Xue had been the official's wife for so many years, and her mind was not simple either. When she thought about what had happened recently, she knew that her sister and niece had taken refuge here.

      She hesitated. Because of Fifth Princess's words, her niece was standing on the edge of the sea. She didn't want her feelings to be ruined by Fifth Princess's words.

      In the end, she came up with a plan with her husband. She felt that if Zuo Shuhui could really marry into the Duke Zhen Manor, it would definitely benefit the Cheng family greatly.

      As soon as the news returned to Zuo Family, Mrs. Xue started to pack up her things. She had already told Zuo Yunwen that she would be staying there for at least half a month.

      It was also on this day that Madam Zhu secretly told her that there was a rumor circulating outside that a certain courtier's daughter had a close relationship with her uncle and was afraid that he would have to divorce her and marry her again!

      Mrs. Xue was so shocked that she accidentally knocked away a piece of the best jade ruyi. Hurry up and call for your uncle! "

      Mrs. Xue was half surprised and half happy. She was surprised that such rumors were fatal to the examinees. No matter who it was, if they were to divorce a wife or marry again, their bones would be pierced.

      If she had come to the capital a few years earlier, she would have sent Mrs. Hoe home. But she was still in her sixties, and in her stomach was her first golden grandson.

      Zuo Shaoyan arrived after a long time. He had already heard the reason from Mrs. Zhu, so he told her the whole story without waiting for Mrs. Xue to ask.

      It turned out that on the second day after Lord Zuo entered the capital, he went out with a group of students to play. Coincidentally, he managed to save a certain mansion's worth of gold, which was being extorted by criminals while disguised as a woman.

      The girl had fallen in love with Lord Zuo at first sight, so she came out to find him secretly at home. She thought that there was nothing wrong with her disguise, but before long, the rumor began to spread.

      Mrs. Xue's face was now devoid of any happiness as she said angrily, Disguise as a man? Stealthily going out? No matter how high the status of a lady is, we don't want it!"

      She did not want her future Zuo Family to become a joke because of her wife's name, so no matter how good her family background was, she had to abide by the rules.

      Zuo Shaoyan said expressionlessly, Mom, your son already has official wife. Don't think too much about it.

      Mrs. Xue's eyes flashed with calculation. After hearing this news, a door opened in front of her eyes. If her daughter could successfully marry into Duke Zhen's mansion, then her family wouldn't be able to have a seventh-grade Zhixian daughter as their daughter-in-law.

      Moreover, the second son was already destined to not have a son. The entire family relied on the eldest son to pass on their bloodline. The grandson in Mrs. Hoe's stomach was indeed important, but what if it was a daughter … In the event that it became difficult to give birth …

      Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Mom and your sister are going to stay at Aunt's house for a few days. You should take care of your studies at home. Mom will be back soon.

      Zuo Shaoyan wasn't a three year old child, so he didn't need this kind of warning. He just replied and went back.

      At night, Zuo Shaoqing was lying on his bed reading a book by the light of the lamp. Just as he was about to sleep, he was pulled up by Yinyi to get him to get up and get dressed.

      Zuo Shaoqing asked in surprise, We're going out? To do what?" Did Lu Zheng miss him?

      Ignoring Zuo Shaoqing's expectant gaze, Yinyi said, I've ordered for your subordinate to teach you martial arts!

      Ah … Zuo Shaoqing remembered that Lu Zheng had indeed said this, but he thought that this would be delayed indefinitely, and that it wouldn't be like digging people out from a warm bed in the middle of the night for training.

      He moaned and pitifully asked: Yinyi, can you wait until the weather gets warmer before starting? Look at the cold wind outside!

      Yinyi didn't even look at him and threw the clothes Zuo Shaoqing usually wore to him. He replied coldly, You can tell me this, I'm just following orders!

      Zuo Shaoqing was very dissatisfied with his service attitude. However, thinking about it, this person probably never served Lu Zheng in the past, so it was normal that he couldn't do this kind of work.

      Even though Zuo Shaoqing had put on his clothes, he didn't want to go out at all and continued, Then let's have a discussion, alright? When Master Lu asked, he told me that I had been practicing for two hours every day."

      Yinyi said bluntly, Master said that Master San is lazy. If he doesn't cooperate, we will force him.

      Zuo Shaoqing still wanted to bargain, but he heard Yinyi say: I also said that if San Ye can master a set of fist techniques within a month and can pass ten moves under this subordinate's control, I would reward him handsomely!

      Do I reward you or me? Zuo Shaoqing recovered some energy and asked.

      Yinyi looked at him confusingly, You are the future matriarch of the Duke's Mansion, do you still need a reward?

      The moment Zuo Shaoqing heard the word mistress, his face turned strange. He didn't know how to correct his feelings, so he thought that if he were to marry someone, he might not be able to get rid of this title in the future.

      He took a deep breath and felt that he was the future Wife of State Duke after all. He couldn't be a weak scholar and he couldn't just rely on Lu Zheng's care and love.

      Furthermore, he couldn't become Lu Zheng's burden. At the very least, he had to have the ability to protect himself in the future when encountering danger.

      After thinking through all of this, Zuo Shaoqing's will to resist the cold was stronger, Let's go! He opened the door and walked out with a solemn expression on his face.

      CHAPTER 102 - I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A LAZY BOY LIKE YOU

      Living in this kind of small house was not as convenient as living alone in the old days. Zuo Shaoqing followed behind Yinyi, avoiding the guards of the mansion as they climbed over the fence.

      The moment Zuo Shaoqing landed on the ground, he found that Yinyi was already over a hundred meters away. He was also sprinting towards a small alley at a fast speed.

      The corner of his mouth twitched. Did Yinyi forget that someone was following behind him?

      Zuo Shaoqing could not do it. He could not shout nor did he have the ability to transmit sound at a distance. He could only use his inner force to perform his Qing Gong as he quickly caught up.

      The cold wind entered his mouth and nose, even his ears were not spared. It simply went through every orifice, and the faster he ran, the colder the wind got. Zuo Shaoqing was completely cold from the inside out.

      Zuo Shaoqing was already out of breath after half an hour of running around the chaotic alleyway in the capital. Unfortunately, Yinyi still had no intention of stopping.

      He realized that no matter how fast he was, Yinyi would always be able to run far ahead of him. Yinyi would be able to keep up with him, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

      After running for another half an hour, Zuo Shaoqing could only use his mouth to breathe. At this moment, he no longer cared about whether the wind was cold or not, because his chest was filled with a burning dryness. He thought: Two lifetimes together, I'm afraid there aren't as many paths as tonight.

      After an hour, Zuo Shaoqing was standing on a piece of barren land. There were a few abandoned thatched cottages not far away and it was eerily quiet. Wu Tie was standing ten steps away from him with his hands behind his back.

      Cough, cough … Yinyi... If I keep running, I'll die! "

      Zuo Shaoqing had his hands on his hips, and his chest was heaving violently. Since he's already done it, what should he do next?

      You're too slow! Yinyi criticized him bluntly, This will be our training spot from now on.

      This... That far?" Zuo Shaoqing turned his head to look at the dark sky. He was probably more than five kilometers away from Zuo's Mansion, right?

      This subordinate thinks that no matter how profound your techniques are, it would be better for you to master the skill of escaping first!

      Zuo Shaoqing's face stiffened. This was simply undisguised contempt. However, he had to admit that Yinyi's words were correct.

      He was already 14 years old and had already missed the best age to train his martial arts. No matter how hard he trained, he could only reach the level of a second-rate martial art.

      Are we still going to practice?

      Yinyi nodded, Yes! He walked towards Zuo Shaoqing and kicked Zuo Shaoqing twice on the inner part of his lower leg, separating his legs. Then, he pressed down on Zuo Shaoqing's shoulder and said casually: You can do two hours' horse stance tonight.

      Zuo Shaoqing nearly fell to the ground due to the pressure of this continuous movement. Luckily, he held on to his face.

      At this moment, his legs were numb. It would be hell if he could maintain this state for two hours.

      Yinyi obtained an incense burner from somewhere and placed it under Zuo Shaoqing's butt. Then, he jumped onto a tree branch without a single leaf and rested with his eyes closed.

      Zuo Shaoqing clenched his teeth and held onto his legs with all his might. At the same time, he was silently reciting the Heart Cleansing Tactic in his heart, allowing his boiling blood to quickly calm down.

      After the incense was burnt down, Zuo Shaoqing was sweating profusely and his legs were trembling slightly.

      Yinyi jumped down and lit another incense stick. He adjusted Zuo Shaoqing's posture and told him the gist of the horse stance. Then, under Zuo Shaoqing's pleading gaze, he jumped onto a branch.

      Zuo Shaoqing felt that his legs were no longer the same as his. They were shaking like a sieve. Unfortunately, the one facing him was Yinyi and not Lu Zheng, so Zuo Shaoqing didn't even have the mood to act coquettishly and beg for forgiveness.

      Luckily, the person who came wasn't Lu Zheng. Otherwise, his sorry state would be ruined by the sight of him.

      He muttered in his heart: When there is a chance in the future, I must make Yinyi suffer a little. I will treat it as revenge for my own legs.

      After enduring for another half an hour, the incense was only half done. Zuo Shaoqing took a deep breath and took another deep breath. He no longer held his hands horizontally and withdrew his waist, saving a bit of energy.

      Zuo Shaoqing felt that the short period of two hours had been infinitely extended. He asked a few times: Are you done burning it? Unfortunately, the only response he got was Yinyi's silence.

      Yinyi... I'm almost at my limit … Zuo Shaoqing's knees became more and more bent, his butt became lower and lower, and the trembling of his feet became more and more obvious. He even suspected that if he moved his butt even an inch further, his butt would be burnt.

      Closing his eyes, Zuo Shaoqing tried not to think about how much time he had left. Instead, he thought back to the recent events in his head and sorted out his thoughts.

      Now, Zuo Family thought that they were in the darkness before dawn, waiting for Duke Zhen's family to propose marriage. From then on, they would be on the golden path, and chickens and dogs would rise to the sky.

      Zuo Shaoqing's revenge plan was very simple. All he had to do was close their door, extinguish their hope, and push them back into the darkness.

      What Mrs. Xue wanted was obvious at a glance. It was simply the future of her children. Now that Zuo Shaoling was out of luck, he only needed to act against Zuo Shaoyan and his sister.

      Zuo Shaoyan wanted to be an official in the imperial court the most, but he wanted to make it so that he wouldn't be able to enter the Academic Institution door for the rest of his life.

      What Zuo Shuhui wanted the most was to marry a good family, to live a life of superiority. She wanted to ruin her reputation, and when the time came, he would find a good man to be her match.

      He definitely had to let them have a taste of their despair. That kind of lifeless, lifeless numbness that was worse than death itself.

      With less than ten days until Conference Test, he guessed that Mrs. Hoe would make her move one day before Conference Test. After all, there were too many unforeseen events early, so it didn't matter if Mrs. Hoe couldn't make her move in the end.

      A cold wind brushed past Zuo Shaoqing's ears, and Yinyi's cold voice interrupted Zuo Shaoqing's train of thought: Time is up.

      Zuo Shaoqing could not hold on any longer, so he fell forward while worrying about the incense burner under his butt. Pa! He made a real contact with the ground and even bit into the mud.

      Pah pah … He turned his body with difficulty and stretched out his hand towards Yinyi, Help me, help me up!

      Yinyi's gaze paused on that sparkling white palm for a moment. Instead of advancing, he retreated and shook his head in refusal.

      If Zuo Shaoqing was just an ordinary man, it wouldn't be a big deal to pull him back. Unfortunately, he was the future wife of the Wu Steel Manor, so even if he was of the same sex, he should still avoid attracting the attention of his family's master.

      Zuo Shaoqing twitched his mouth and lay on the ground for a while. Later on, because the ground was too cold and it was freezing to the point that his bones hurt, he got up on both feet.

      As soon as he stood firm, Yinyi flew far away like the wind in the blink of an eye, leaving only two words in Zuo Shaoqing's ears: Time to go back.

      Zuo Shaoqing cried out in grief. He couldn't move his feet. His legs could barely support his body, yet he still wanted to run?

      He wanted to rest for a while before leaving, but it was dark and quiet all around him. There weren't even the sounds of the bugs. It was fine when they were together, but standing alone would give people a creepy feeling of dread.

      Seeing that Yinyi was about to disappear from his sight, Zuo Shaoqing had no choice but to follow him. Not only was it scary in the wilderness, but he also didn't know the way back.

      It took Zuo Shaoqing twice as long to get back to his room. When the door closed, he collapsed on the floor and didn't even bother to move a finger. Luckily, the charcoal brazier in the room was still burning and he didn't feel cold.

      The sky outside was already starting to brighten up. Zuo Shaoqing was tired and sleepy, so he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep.

      Yinyi stood beside Luo Xiaoliu for a while, then walked to him who was sleeping like a dead pig. He lifted his blanket and picked him up from the bed.

      Ahhh … Who... Ugh … Yinyi covered his screaming mouth and threw him off the bed. He kicked him and ordered: Get up and go heat up the water for San Ye!

      Luo Xiaoliu opened his eyes in a daze. The first thing he saw was a tall person standing in front of him like a pine tree, looking down on him.

      Who are you? What are you planning to do by sneaking into San Ye's room in the middle of the night? Luo Xiaoliu was confused.

      Yinyi's paralyzed face twitched, and he smacked his forehead, repeating: Go heat up the water!

      Ah … Luo Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment as he held his forehead. Then, he snapped out of his daze, pointed his finger at Yinyi and scolded, How can you be like this? You're not letting me sleep even in the middle of the night?

      Yinyi grabbed him and threw him out the door, letting him look at the sky outside and ridiculed, I've never seen a lazy attendant like you! If it was at Duke Zhen Manor, his legs would definitely be broken!

      Luo Xiaoliu was afraid of Lu Zheng and Zuo Shaoqing, but he was not afraid of Yinyi. From his point of view, Yinyi was only a guard, one who could not see the light of day.

      This is the Zuo's Mansion after all, it's not up to you to act mighty!

      Yinyi pointed at Zuo Shaoqing, who was lying paralyzed on the ground, Do you want your master to sleep on the floor like this?

      CHAPTER 103 - YOU ARE GLOATING AGAIN

      Luo Xiaoliu was shocked and ran to Zuo Shaoqing's side with big steps. He threw himself on Zuo Shaoqing's body and cried: Grandpa … San Ye, what's wrong? You can't die, you've already killed little Liu Zi, what should we do now? Nanny Liu even repeatedly told me to take good care of you. If anything happens to you, Nanny Liu will definitely take your life …

      Zuo Shaoqing was so annoyed that his head hurt. He slapped Luo Xiaoliu, and without caring where he slapped him, he shouted, F * ck off! Words.

      Luo Xiaoliu rubbed his shoulder. That one hit woke him up. He half knelt beside Zuo Shaoqing and used his fingers to test Zuo Shaoqing's breath. He was only relieved after he confirmed that Zuo Shaoqing was still alive.

      In the middle of the night, seeing his master lying on the ground half dead, this scene was absolutely horrifying.

      After looking at Zuo Shaoqing, Luo Xiaoliu finally understood why Yinyi told him to boil water. San Ye was covered in mud and dirt, he really couldn't go to bed without washing himself.

      He cursed Yinyi a hundred times. Without a doubt, it must be the big bloke's doing. Hmph, the next time I see Master Lu, I must report that he bullied San Ye.

      The light in the kitchen was just turned on, and the two girls were lighting a fire. Luo Xiaoliu looked inside to make sure that the powerful women were not around, then went in with a sigh of relief.

      My two sisters, can you boil a pot of water for me first? Master San had spent the night reading and was planning to take a rest. Before going to bed, he wanted to soak in hot water to get some rest. Luo Xiaoliu calmly told a lie for Zuo Shaoqing.

      The two girls were shocked. One of them scolded Luo Xiaoliu a bit older, while the other hesitantly said: This... The nuns are up soon, and they're waiting for water.

      Luo Xiaoliu chuckled and said, They are servants, and San Ye is the master. Who do you think is more important? Why don't we go to the old master's theory? Let's hear what old master has to say."

      The two girls instantly thought of Maid Ma's matter and knew that it was not a good time to offend Third Master Zuo. Right now, the master and San Ye were the most important people, so whatever the master had, he wouldn't stop at them.

      Then hurry up and get me another furnace. When the nannies wake up, we'll be in trouble again.

      Luo Xiaoliu got his wish and took the hot water back to his room. Luckily, there was a well in the yard, so he didn't have to worry about cold water.

      After mixing the hot water, Luo Xiaoliu pulled Zuo Shaoqing up from the ground and helped him take off his outer clothes, tore off his muddy boots, and pushed him behind the screen. Grandpa, you can wash now.

      Zuo Shaoqing waved his hands and waited for Luo Xiaoliu to leave before taking off all his clothes and sitting in the bathtub. He was extremely sleepy and laid down with his hands on the edge of the tub.

      Faintly feeling someone lifting him up, with a familiar smell lingering on the tip of his nose, Zuo Shaoqing sleepily rubbed his body and then wrapped his hands around it.

      When he woke up again, it was already noon. Zuo Shaoqing sat up from the bed and shouted, Lil 'Liu!

      It's here, it's here … Luo Xiaoliu ran in with his food box. As soon as he entered the door, he was beaming with joy and said, Master, you woke up at the right time. This servant has gone to get lunch. I have your favorite Red Braised Fish.

      Zuo Shaoqing's entire body was emitting a gloomy aura. He did not care about his weak limbs and asked, Who brought me to bed last night?

      Luo Xiaoliu paused for a moment and asked in surprise: You didn't climb up by yourself?

      Zuo Shaoqing's heart tightened. At that time, he was in a daze and felt that someone carried him. It was impossible for him to climb onto the bed by himself, not to mention that he was still wearing a dry shirt.

      It wasn't that he didn't mind Luo Xiaoliu carrying him out of the bathtub, but he remembered that his actions were intimate, rubbing and hugging him. If it was Luo Xiaoliu, he would have hit him until he lost his memory.

      It's really not you? Zuo Shaoqing asked coldly.

      What's the matter with you? Luo Xiaoliu was confused. He thought to himself, Don't tell me San Ye is too tired and is not clear-headed?

      Zuo Shaoqing saw that Han didn't seem to be lying and locked his suspicion on Yinyi, so this idea was immediately rejected by him. Yinyi didn't even dare to touch his hand, how dare he carry the naked Han Li out of the bath barrel and even helped him clean himself and put on his clothes.

      Recalling the familiarity he felt at that moment, Zuo Shaoqing yelled at the beam of the house, Yinyi …

      Even if it wasn't Luo Xiaoliu's first time seeing this scene, he still felt goosebumps all over his body. He felt that Yinyi was no better than a ghost, hiding without a sound and floating erratically.

      No one answered, and no one appeared. Zuo Shaoqing thought that perhaps he had gone to eat, so he temporarily put this question aside and got up to wash his face and eat.

      However, as soon as his legs touched the ground, his entire body went limp and he almost fell to the ground headfirst. His two legs felt as if they were pierced by thousands of needles.

      Little Six … Come and help me! " Zuo Shaoqing's face was full of bitterness. It was only the first day, he would rather copy the scriptures a hundred times than ride a horse.

      What's the matter with you? Luo Xiaoliu helped him to the table, got him some water to rinse his mouth, helped him wipe his face with a cloth, and asked while serving him: Did you go out with the big guy last night? What did you do to make yourself like this?

      Don't mention it. After wiping his face, Zuo Shaoqing immediately picked up his chopsticks and opened his mouth towards the big fish. He was extremely hungry from last night's torture, but he just didn't feel it when he was sleeping.

      After gobbling down a bowl of rice, Zuo Shaoqing slowed down his pace and asked: Master, did you ask about me?

      Yes. Thin lines appeared at the corner of Luo Xiaoliu's eyes as he said: Your servant said you were reading all night last night. You just fell asleep this morning, master is so happy.

      Zuo Shaoqing scoffed, Of course, he would like for me to work so hard to read. Luckily, Mrs. Xue wasn't home, otherwise she wouldn't be as easy to fool as Zuo Yunwen.

      He even specially instructed the kitchen to prepare you a midnight snack every night. He said that he wanted to use a good bird's nest! Luo Xiaoliu sucked on his saliva, I've followed you for so many years, but I've never tasted a bird's nest.

      Zuo Shaoqing pouted, That's what a woman eats. Why are you thinking about it? If you are so greedy, I'll give you money to buy it yourself."

      Luo Xiaoliu shook his head, How can that be the same? One needs to spend money to buy one's own, but silver is not needed to make things that are made in the house.

      Zuo Shaoqing gave him a chicken leg and jokingly scolded, You are really stingy!

      After lunch, Zuo Shaoqing asked about the family's situation as usual. He knew that Zuo Shaoyan had never left the study room since the morning and that Mrs. Hoe had gotten pregnant last night. He had hired a doctor this morning and now Lady Yue was in charge of the family's matters.

      Oh? Madam, are you willing to let Butler Lady Yue take the lead? Zuo Shaoqing understood Mrs. Xue's desire to control her very well. How could he give the authority of a butler to a concubine and even a favoured concubine?

      Luo Xiaoliu lowered his voice and said with a smile, I'm afraid Madam doesn't know yet. I was originally going to say that it was Young Madame's housekeeper, but now Young Madame's body... With a wave of her hand, the old master ordered Lady Yue to interfere. Who would dare to refute him? "

      Seems like this Lady Yue's physique is quite good. She can even work so hard with a big stomach. Zuo Shaoqing's eyes flashed with a cold light. To be honest, he didn't want to add a younger brother or a younger sister at all.

      Although he had never seen his unborn brother or sister and didn't even know if he had grown up safely, with such a biological mother, it was unlikely that he would be able to teach her anything good.

      Just watch and see. Maybe Madam will be back before nightfall. How can she be alive and let a housekeeper come?

      Wrong! I bet the Missus wouldn't see it. " Zuo Shaoqing said with certainty.

      It can't be? Luo Xiaoliu didn't believe it.

      You think this house is so easy to manage? Zuo Shaoqing analyzed the situation as he drank his tea: The entire Zuo's Mansion are all managed by Mrs. Xue's men, not to mention the storehouse, Lady Yue … Heh, how can a woman from a romantic place deal with those old things?

      Master, you won't ignore this, right? Even with Lady Yue's big belly, no one would dare to offend her.

      Why are we clashing? They just need to let Lady Yue do as she pleases. The whole house will be in chaos in less than ten days, and at that time, even if Master wants to protect her, he will be unable to.

      Don't tell me Lady Yue has no sense of propriety?

      Just because she wanted to follow me to Duke Zhen Manor that day, I knew that this woman couldn't see my identity clearly. It would be weird if she didn't panic when she was in power.

      Master, you're gloating again! Luo Xiaoliu covered his mouth and laughed.

      Zuo Shaoqing laughed and hit him on the head, Even if I laugh openly, it won't affect others!

      He didn't have any deep hatred towards Lady Yue, he just didn't like her. He didn't like her at all, or rather, he hated any woman that Zuo Yunwen liked and took away the love of his own mother.

      He even thought that after a hundred years, Zuo Yunwen would bury him together with Mrs. Ruan.

      He knew that his own mother loved Zuo Yunwen, and Zuo Yunwen also had some feelings for her at that time. This kind of mutual affection was both annoying and hateful in Mrs. Xue's eyes.

      But his own mother was his own mother. Mrs. Xue Yu was his mother's killer, and Zuo Shaoqing had no choice but to hate him due to the combination of old and new grudges.

      He frowned as he thought about it. Perhaps, he should first investigate Mrs. Ruan's real death. Although he knew it was Mrs. Xue's doing, he would not spare anyone who was involved in this matter!

      — —

      Christmas Eve! Did they all go on dates?

      CHAPTER 104 - WELL DONE THIRD MASTER OF THE LEFT!

      After several days of studying and practicing martial arts, Zuo Shaoqing was as busy as a top every day. However, the effect was also significant. Not only did his appetite increase, his physique became stronger, and even his mind became clearer during his practice.

      Yinyi had obtained a set of mental cultivation method from somewhere and was able to replenish his energy and rest his mind. Every day, when he woke up, he would meditate for an incense stick of time.

      What was even more gratifying was that after a few days of exhausting himself to train his Qing Gong, his Qing Gong had also greatly improved. He could already make it back before the Yin hour, and was hopeful that he would continue to improve.

      On the morning of the third day, he also received an answer to the question that had been bothering him for the past two days. At that time, he was still in a daze, and he felt a warm body under his blanket.

      Originally, this was nothing. At that time, he was too exhausted to wake up at all. Only when his lips were sealed off and a tongue that did not belong to him appeared did he wake up, nearly biting off the other party's tongue.

      Subconsciously, he pushed the person away. When he squinted his eyes and saw the face of the intruder, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

      He never would have thought that the seemingly open and aboveboard Master Lu would make a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

      Thinking back to the familiar embrace in his dream, how could Zuo Shaoqing not know that it was Lu Zheng who carried him out of the bathtub that day?

      After not seeing each other for a few days, the two of them were burning with passion. They looked at each other for a moment before hugging and kissing again. After rolling around for a while, they finally stopped.

      Zuo Shaoqing was a bit confused by Lu Zheng's actions of sticking to the last line of defense each time. He even suspected that Lu Zheng might be against the way the two men slept.

      However, he couldn't rush to ask Lu Zheng for his room. Furthermore, he couldn't handle this sort of thing with his recent physical strength, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.

      That night, Zuo Shaoqing returned to his room and saw Luo Xiaoliu, who usually slept early, waiting for him at the door.

      Master, you're back. This servant has been waiting for you for the most part of the night.

      The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched. He resisted the urge to retort and answered with a soft yea.

      Your servant has already prepared hot water for you. Please quickly go in and wash up.

      Zuo Shaoqing was surprised again. Usually, Luo Xiaoliu had to wait until they came back before Liu Tie pulled him out of bed to boil the water. As he came back earlier and earlier, Luo Xiaoliu always did the boiling water himself.

      The people in the manor were no longer surprised. They all knew that San Ye had the habit of bathing before going to bed, so why was it that he always slept so late? To read books, the day of Conference Test was getting closer and closer?

      There were even some servants who sneered, Take a look at your lordship. You do what you usually do. You get up early in the morning, and you must be certain of victory. As for your master, hehe …

      There had always been such rumors. In any case, other than Zuo Yunwen who held a sliver of hope for Zuo Shaoqing in his heart, no one else in the Zuo Family would think that a fourteen year old young master would be able to get into high school in one fell swoop.

      As soon as he entered the room, the door was closed from the outside by Luo Xiaoliu. Zuo Shaoqing thought for a moment, went around the outer room and quickly entered the inner room. As expected, he saw a person lying on the bed.

      The thin bed curtain was lifted. Lu Zheng leaned on the bed and waved at him. After he entered, he pointed to the incense burner on the table and said, Very good. It was 15 minutes earlier than last night.

      You know all this? It must be Yinyi's reassurance. Otherwise, how would Lu Zheng know about it when he wasn't here last night?

      Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and did not answer. He had arranged for at least ten people inside and outside this small Zuo's Mansion. It wasn't like Zuo Shaoqing had thought it was just Yinyi.

      After Zuo Shaoqing had bathed, he got into bed wearing a thin shirt and moaned in a comfortable tone, I'm sorry to trouble Master Lu to warm the bed. It's truly a sin!

      Lu Zheng raised his arm and took the person into his embrace. He squeezed the person's arm and asked: Then how are you going to thank me?

      Zuo Shaoqing's gorgeous eyes flashed with a bright smile, How about we repay each other with our bodies?

      Lu Zheng grabbed his wrist, pressed his palm against Zuo Shaoqing's palm and channeled a surge of internal force into Zuo Shaoqing's body.

      Zuo Shaoqing only felt a warm stream of air flowing through his entire body from his palm. The aching pain from training earlier had also gradually subsided and he felt warm all over.

      Ever since he woke up on the first day, his feet were sore and he almost couldn't walk anymore. At night, Lu Zheng would come over to help him channel his energy. Sometimes he was awake, sometimes he slept soundly, so he could only judge from the condition of his body when he woke up on the second day whether Lu Zheng came or not.

      When he was about to fall asleep comfortably, Lu Zheng let go of his hand and pinched his cheek. It hurt so much that Zuo Shaoqing immediately became clear-headed.

      Zuo Shaoqing stretched lazily as his muscles and bones made comfortable popping sounds. He leaned on Lu Zheng and asked, It's getting late. How long are you staying tonight?

      Lu Zheng lowered his head and gently pecked his lips, depicting his soft and beautiful lips, as if he was tasting the most delicious delicacy, Before dawn.

      Zuo Shaoqing nodded. He didn't want to close his eyes because he knew Lu Zheng was very busy recently. He seemed to have found out something important from Beidi's spies.

      However, Zuo Shaoqing did not ask about these things, as he knew that he still could not help, and right now, the most important task was to prepare the coming Conference Test.

      Instead, he hugged Zuo Shaoqing and said: Three days later is the Conference Test. With your current physique, at least you won't faint in the middle of the exam grounds. You'll stop at night first.

      Conference Test were the same as the home exams, going through nine consecutive days of exams. It was just that the temperature in the capital was much lower than in the warm winter, so even though Academic Institution burned its charcoal stove around the clock, there were still many students who could not bear it.

      Zuo Shaoqing was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the cold. However, after the past few days of training and Lu Zheng's meticulous treatment, his ability to resist the cold had improved.

      The things that should be prepared will be delivered tomorrow at Duke Zhen Manor. Remember to bring them.

      Zuo Shaoqing came back to his senses and asked with a smile: What is your name?

      Of course the steward would think of such a small thing.

      The next day, Zuo Shaoqing just got up and saw the steward walking in with an unfamiliar attendant, putting down a set of the four treasures and a box of food and clothing.

      Reporting to the third master, these items were sent by Duke Zhen's residence. They said that the old lady had supplemented them with gifts for the two young masters. The steward said in a straight face. He thought to himself: Even Master San could shine, Duke Zhen's house is indeed very considerate.

      The unfamiliar attendant who followed them in laughed in a neither humble nor haughty manner and said: The madame asked me to wish the two young masters a golden title and win first place in one fell swoop! All of these things have been reported to you, you can rest assured that you will be able to bring them into the Academic Institution.

      Zuo Shaoqing naturally accepted the things gratefully, and at the same time silently cursed: Carrying such a big box into Academic Institution, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at, right?

      However, when he thought about Lu Zheng's intentions, he had to bring it along even if he was to be laughed at.

      Duke Zhen Manor had just sent out the stuff, and quite a few well-informed families on the other side received the news.

      Jiang Che carefully mulled over the information a few times. He frowned and asked one of his followers: Did the madame order someone to send the information over?

      Yes.

      I keep feeling that something is wrong … All these years, have you ever seen the madame being so passionate about anyone? "

      That follower answered as if it was a matter of course: Didn't they say that Master Lu has taken a fancy to Miss Zuo Family? It's normal for the two families to get intimate with each other as they are soon to get married.

      No … Jiang Che shook his head with a thoughtful face. After a while, he muttered to himself, Don't you think that the whole thing is a bit strange? If Lu Zheng really took a fancy to Zuo Shuhui, how could he let her be bullied by Zhan Yunxiang? I heard that they are hiding in Cheng Shaoqing's home. Even if Lu Zheng doesn't want to show his face, the old lady should have expressed his opinion.

      The follower did not understand, You mean …?

      Jiang Che knocked on the table as he tried to figure out the relationship between Lu Zheng and Zuo's Mansion. No matter how he looked at it, he could not see that Lu Zheng really admired Zuo Family xiaojie.

      Instead … He opened his eyes wide and urged, Go and get that information that was delivered three days ago! About the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing!

      When he had finished his research on the information, he suddenly slammed the table and laughed, Haha … So that's how it was! Damn Lu Zheng, so it turns out that you were like this as well. You were almost tricked!

      Lord? The follower wasn't a fool, he had already felt a bit of the true meaning from this short sentence.

      Jiang Che laughed for a long time before crossing his legs and saying impolitely, "He's almost twenty and is unmarried. Everyone only thinks that Master Lu delayed the marriage for the country and for the people, but who would have known that he has no intention of getting married.

      Not only did it clear up their relationship, it also made them seem like two families were on good terms with each other. The crowd only said that Master Lu had taken a fancy to the big miss of Zuo Family, but how could they have known that they were wrong about the Lovers Index.

      Pitiful Fifth Princess was still foolishly staring at Zuo Shuhui without letting go. It really was like a sandpiper clam fighting for victory, what a great Third Master Zuo! What a great Top Scorer! Haha …

      Milord, if we spread this matter, wouldn't it be …? Didn't that mean Master Lu's reputation had been ruined?

      There's no hurry. Who would believe it? Everyone will only think that someone intentionally threw dirty water on Duke Zhen. Even if they believed it, it's just male pet. Isn't there a small number of government officials raising catamites?

      The follower remembered the few very handsome teenagers in Lord Jiang's backyard and immediately sighed.

      Jiang Che scratched his chin and thought for a long time. Finally, he said, Speaking of which, this Top Scorer Zuo is indeed very handsome and is also one of my favorites. What should I do?

      The retainer's face stiffened, as though he didn't hear anything.

      Write a post, and bring out the great Young Master of the Zuo Family for a gathering. Seeing that the Conference Test is around the corner, and as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it is necessary for me to assess the character of the students in advance.

      — —

      On Christmas Eve, since Cangming was so dedicated and lonely, why don't you cast a few votes?

      CHAPTER 105 - TAKE WHAT YOU NEED

      Master Zuo, this way please! A man in a blue robe, about 30 years old, led Zuo Shaoyan up to the third floor of the Ding Xuan Hall.

      There were only three private rooms on the third floor of the Tripod Pavilion, and each room was extremely luxurious. Those who were able to book a room here not only needed money but also power.

      Zuo Shaoyan was very surprised to receive Jiang Che's post. Other than the last Plum Blossom Meet at Lu Mingju, he did not remember that he had ever met this Lord Jiang before.

      But no matter what, it was good to be able to get the Ministry of Personnel Assistant Minister and treat him differently. He was just worried that he wouldn't have the chance to link the line with Jiang Che.

      The follower pushed open a door and bowed respectfully. Please! After Zuo Shaoyan entered, he closed the door considerately.

      In the private room, Jiang Che was leaning against the window looking down at the passersby, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

      He was dressed in black casual attire, and a transparent jade qilin was tied around his waist. Although his figure was tall, his noble aura was not intimidating, causing people to feel a sense of intimacy with him.

      After Zuo Shaoyan entered the capital, he had also heard quite a bit about Jiang Che, and knew that Jiang Family was the founding father of a country.

      In Jiang Che's generation, his father had striven hard and managed to get the top scorer in the third round of the Imperial Examinations, allowing his Jiang Family to once again establish a foothold in the imperial court. Jiang Che had even been chosen as the companion of the Second Prince at that time.

      With the meticulous management of these two generations, the Jiang Family climbed up bit by bit. Although it still couldn't compare to the Duke Zhen Manor, it still had a very high status among the civil servants.

      Lord Jiang, nice to meet you, student. Zuo Shaoyan interrupted Jiang Che's thoughts.

      Jiang Che smiled and closed the window. He walked over and helped Zuo Shaoyan up, Brother Zuo, there's no need to be so polite. Today is just a private reunion, there's nothing important at all.

      Zuo Shaoyan did not believe these words. He was just an ordinary and nameless little boy. The reason why he was able to be asked out by Jiang Che alone was not because he wanted to eat a meal.

      It's my honor to meet Lord Jiang. Zuo Shaoyan flattered.

      Jiang Che smiled and didn't answer. He pointed to the chair opposite them and said, Please take a seat.

      As soon as the two sat down, the waiter brought the dishes to the table. Zuo Shaoyan saw Jiang Che's relaxed manner and only talked about poetry, poetry, music, and the matters of Wind and Moon. It really was like a gathering of two close friends.

      After the meal, Wu Tie ordered someone to remove the delicacies on the table that had not been touched, and once again served the food and wine. He poured a cup of wine for Zuo Shaoyan and said: "Right now, Zuo Family is flourishing;

      Zuo Shaoyan did not know whether he meant what he said by that or not. With a calm expression, he replied, Lord Jiang has overpraised me. I have no official name on Zuo Family. How could I dare to be on par with Lord Jiang's family of the Cabinet University?

      Jiang Che's father, a second grade official university scholar, was only slightly shorter than the chief assistant.

      Jiang Che glanced at him meaningfully, Things change in the world, but not in a few days.

      Zuo Shaoyan knew that he was referring to the marriage alliance with Liu Steel Manor. Once the two families were married, their Zuo Family would rise by leaps and bounds and they would be able to rise by leaps and bounds.

      The only thing that could cause his Zuo Family to soar rapidly was the support from Duke Zhen Manor.

      Now, everyone knew that Master Lu admired Miss Zuo, and although Zuo Shaoyan knew that this admiration was not necessarily there, judging from Master Lu's actions, his attitude towards Zuo Family was definitely not ordinary.

      Oh right, what has Top Scorer Zuo been busy with these past few days? Jiang Che asked intentionally.

      Zuo Shaoyan's heart tightened. Jiang Che's manliness was not a secret. Even though he had already married official wife and had two children, it was said that male pet was the most popular man in his backyard.

      That... Did he invite me here because he was interested in Zuo Shaoqing?

      If it was before, Zuo Shaoyan didn't think that his third brother could enter the nobleman's eyes. However, ever since he went to the capital, he gradually discovered that this little bastard had an appearance that normal people couldn't even compare to.

      At such an age and with such looks, it would not be strange if Jiang Che took a fancy to him.

      Zuo Shaoyan quickly calculated in his heart. Although Jiang Che was only the vice minister of Ministry of Personnel, the president of Ministry of Personnel was already old enough and was about to arrive. Currently, the entire Ministry of Personnel was controlled by Jiang Che.

      The Ministry of Personnel was also in charge of the appointment, removal and promotion of all the officials of the Great Yang.

      One had to know, even after becoming a Scholar, there was still a huge gap between going to a poor and wealthy county where people lived and became rich.

      Zuo Shaoyan's heart was heavy, but he didn't show it on his face. He only replied: My brother is studying hard every day, regardless of the time.

      Jiang Che took a sip of the wine, and then said with an unfathomable smile, Really? This is strange. A few days ago, I heard that your little brother went to the military camp in the outskirts of the capital. Could it be that that person was mistaken?"

      Barracks? This is definitely impossible, my younger brother is just a mere scholar, why would he go to the military camp? Zuo Shaoyan retorted without thinking.

      Yeah, what are you going to do? Jiang Che rubbed his chin and muttered, You have to know that the military camp is full of Duke Zhen's men. I thought that the two families were very close to each other, that's why they made such a move.

      Zuo Shaoyan frowned slightly as he thought about it again and again. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

      If it wasn't for Jiang Che sitting opposite of him, he definitely wouldn't have linked Zuo Shaoqing with Lu Zheng. However, there was an example of a true man sitting opposite of him, and he couldn't help but think in this direction.

      Lord Jiang, if you know any news, feel free to speak your mind. This matter concerns the reputation of our younger brother. This student doesn't dare to speak carelessly.

      Haha … Don't worry, I have no intention of slandering your little brother. I'm just curious, I'm a close friend of Master Lu.

      Zuo Shaoyan raised his head and glanced at him when he heard this. He didn't know what the meaning of his words was. He wanted to say that they were close friends, so Master Lu also had a hanky-panky?

      Lord Jiang seems to be very concerned about my younger brother? Zuo Shaoyan probed.

      Jiang Che drank a glass of wine before replying with an intoxicated expression, A peach shines like a peach in the sky, shining brilliantly. This little brother is very charming, and is also so young and capable. I, Jiang Chen, think highly of him.

      Zuo Shaoyan felt a bit awkward as he looked at the fanaticism in Jiang Che's eyes.

      Lord Jiang, you flatter me. My younger brother is just a bit more talented in literature. He's not exactly young and promising. Zuo Shaoyan slightly lowered his head. With these words, he could basically confirm that Jiang Che was here for Zuo Shaoqing.

      If he didn't have Master Lu's help, he wouldn't mind using Zuo Shaoqing to get on Jiang Che's boat, but... If it was really as he had thought, and Zuo Shaoqing was someone Master Lu had his eyes on, then even if Zuo Shaoqing wanted to, he wouldn't be able to move.

      Jiang Che condescendingly poured a glass of wine for Zuo Shaoyan and said affectionately: Speaking of which, when Miss Zuo marries into the Wu Steel Manor, I will have to call his sister-in-law. By then, we will be considered relatives.

      Zuo Shaoyan clenched his fist and drank it all in one gulp. The burning liquor slid into his esophagus and burned his lungs, clearing his mind a little bit.

      That's right, it was not beneficial for him to get Zuo Shaoqing, and this relationship could not be maintained in public. However, if he could marry Zuo Shuhui into the Wu Steel Manor, then it would be completely different.

      On one hand, it was a long-lasting marriage. On the other hand, it was a sloppy marriage.

      Jiang Che looked at his trembling hands and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.

      Lord Jiang, do you think my sister still has any hope of marrying into the Wu Steel Manor? Since Lu Zheng didn't fancy Zuo Shuhui from the start, the marriage between the two families was just a joke.

      Everything depends on the person. It's up to Brother Zuo to decide.

      Zuo Shaoyan was also not a foolish and reckless person. He was not easily led away by the nose by others, Why would Lord Jiang want to help students?

      We'll each take what we need, right?

      Hearing this answer, Zuo Shaoyan did not show any expression of joy. He knew Jiang Che's intentions, but was he really going to sacrifice a little bastard in exchange for Zuo Family and the marriage with Wu Steel Manor?

      Most importantly, if he were to cooperate with Jiang Che, when Master Lu finds out the truth, will he blame them for Zuo Shaoqing?

      The background of his Jiang Family was not ordinary, and he had been friends with Duke Zhen Manor for several lifetimes. Master Lu would not take revenge on his Jiang Family for a man, but he might not let his Zuo Family go.

      This matter... Allow me to consider it. Zuo Shaoyan wasn't too satisfied with what he had said. Such an important decision couldn't be made with just a little bit of effort.

      Of course, Brother Zuo, please be at ease and prepare for the exam. We will discuss this matter in the future.

      After Zuo Shaoyan left, Jiang Che sat alone in the large private room, drinking wine cup by cup.

      He had some thoughts about Zuo Shaoqing, but it wasn't to the point where he had to. However, when he thought about the fact that this person was from Lu Zheng, he wanted to snatch him away.

      Ever since he was young, he knew that Jiang Family had a similar background to Duke Zhen Manor, and although they were of the same height, after a few generations of management, the difference between the two families was growing.

      Such a difference made Jiang Che unwilling to accept it.

      CHAPTER 106 - ONE NIGHT HUSBAND AND WIFE HUNDRED DAYS OF EN

      When Jiang Che left, the door of the room next door opened and two young men walked out. One was refined and the other was noble, both of their faces were filled with contemplation.

      I never thought that even Jiang Che would dare to scheme against Lu Zheng. The well-dressed and graceful man said with a smile.

      The other elegant youth who wore a blue robe was Cao Zongguan. He frowned slightly, and asked with uncertainty: Did Vice Minister Jiang fancy Third Master of the Zuo Family?
