The next morning, Zuo Shaoqing was dug out of bed by Nanny Liu. He even found the latest set of clothes for him and advised, "Master San, there's an important guest at home. You have to be careful.
Zuo Shaoqing twitched his mouth. It was too late to say that. Putting aside his previous words, he had already collided with someone of nobility last night. However, that person was not a narrow-minded person.
After combing Zuo Shaoqing's hair, Nanny Liu took out the breakfast from the food box. "In order to entertain guests, Madam ordered the kitchen staff to wake up at the time and prepare more than ten specialties for breakfast. This steamed dumplings were also eliminated from the kitchen."
"This is all thanks to that esteemed guest." While smelling the fragrant dumplings, Zuo Shaoqing once again had the thought of staying close to Master Lu.
Not only did he eat well and drink well, he didn't need to worry about being bullied and was even more confident in his work.
It was a pity that not everyone could get close to such a man.
After breakfast, Zuo Shaoqing went to pay his respects at Wu Heng Courtyard. In order to leave the distinguished guest with an impression of "proper family style", the greeting this morning was especially formal. Even the madame was sitting at the head of the table to receive everyone's greetings.
Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes dejectedly. He really wanted to know who were the four maidservants sent by Mrs. Xue to warm the bed last night.
He scanned through the people inside and out. They were all the servant girls that were commonly seen by Zuo Shaoqing, but he didn't find anyone who looked especially outstanding. Hence, he firmly believed that the person sent over was Zuo Shuhui's future maid.
Zuo Shuhui was dressed exceptionally splendidly today. She was dressed in a crab-colored skirt with a rouge jacket over her head. The bright and beautiful colors were especially eye-catching in the winter, not to mention that she was wearing a golden red dress with rubies embedded on it.
Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head to cover the disdain in his eyes. This was just the beginning, but Zuo Shuhui already couldn't help but want to go up against Lu Zheng? Of course, maybe he was wrong, maybe he was doing it for Young Master Cao.
"Mother …" It's already been a few minutes, may I ask if esteemed guest has gotten up yet? " With just one sentence, she had broken Zuo Shaoqing's expectations for her.
"The butler is already at the door. If there's any movement, he will come to report it."
Zuo Shaoqing obviously knew who the VIP was, but he raised his head and innocently blinked, "Big Sis is worried about Big Brother Cao right? He asked me about you yesterday. "
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue's expressions changed instantly. They glared at Zuo Shaoqing with similar eyes, "Shut up!" How could he speak carelessly like that? Don't sully your Big Sis's reputation! "
Zuo Shaoqing weakly shrugged his shoulders. "I …" How quick was that!
Zuo Shuhui also seemed to be disappointed. With a face full of anger, she lectured Zuo Shaoqing: "Third brother, Young Master Cao is just a guest of our Zuo's Mansion and a good friend of big brother. It's none of my business. If he …" She pursed her lips and said firmly: "If Young Master Cao mentions me in front of you, don't speak carelessly!"
Zuo Shaoqing asked innocently: "Isn't Big Brother Cao going to be my brother-in-law soon? That's what everyone says... Oh, I know, big sister must be shy. "
Zuo Shuhui gritted her teeth so hard that her teeth almost broke. With tears in her eyes, she cried pitifully, "Third brother, who made this up? This... Aren't you deliberately throwing dirty water on me? "Mother …"
Zuo Shaoqing hid behind Zuo Shaoyan in fear, tugging on his sleeve nervously and asked: "Big Brother …" Did I say something wrong? "
Zuo Shaoyan patted his hand and said to Mrs. Xue, "Alright, don't act rashly before making things clear. Don't end up displeasing everyone."
Zuo Shaoqing secretly gave a big thumbs up in his heart. He said that Zuo Shaoyan was indeed the most rational person in Zuo Family.
Zuo Shaoyan bowed at Zuo Yunwen, "Father, I think it's better to find some time to test his intentions. We can't just keep guessing for no reason."
He had a plan in his heart. If Zuo Shuhui couldn't marry Cao Zongguan, it was simple. As long as she knew that she had the chance to become Wife of Duke Zhen, she would definitely be the most eager to annul the engagement. As for whether she could marry Lu Zheng or not, it was not up to her to decide.
He didn't know how many days Lu Zheng would stay at Zuo's Mansion, so he really wished he could continue staying like this.
