Reborn: The First Rank 'Madam” – C37

C37 – I Always Preserve My Own Moral Integrity

Zuo Shaoqing’s heart started to beat as he felt Lu Zheng’s gaze was a little strange. Although he wasn’t afraid that Lu Zheng would see through his real face, this kind of scrutinizing gaze made him very uncomfortable.

Outside the door, the azure-dressed man knocked on the door three times before reporting, “Master, a woman sent four maidservants over. She said that she is here to serve you.”

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the sky, then looked at the oil lamp in the room that had never broken, and guessed that Mrs. Xue had been following them closely, afraid that Master Lu would be lonely at night and not be able to sleep soundly.

However, he didn’t know which room these four girls came from. Could it be that they had sent Miss Zuo’s trained maid here first? They were all for his future husband, so wouldn’t they always be the same?

It was a pity that they sent the wrong gender. If they sent a few handsome attendant, Master Lu would probably accept it reluctantly.

With this thought on his mind, Zuo Shaoqing revealed a smile as if he was watching a good show. The cunning look on Zuo Shaoqing’s face made Lu Zheng stare at him a few more times.

“You’re laughing!” Lu Zheng did not give face to break Zuo Shaoqing’s little thoughts.

“Nope.” Zuo Shaoqing immediately denied it, “I was just wondering how these four maids are going to deal with them.”

“What do you think?”

“Of course...” Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes and slowly said: “Master Lu has been bathing in blood on the battlefield all year round, I’m afraid he doesn’t have the time to enjoy this affair. Since someone is sending himself to my doorstep, why not...”

Lu Zheng glanced at his lower body with suspicion, “You know quite a lot.”

It took Zuo Shaoqing half a cup of tea to understand the meaning of this sentence. His face immediately flushed red and he stammered as he stressed, “There is a face like jade in the book... What should be understood will naturally be understood!”

Liu Tie said towards the door, “Let them go.” Seeing Zuo Shaoqing’s eyes widen, Lu Zheng stared at him with an unreadable expression and asked, “Or should I say that Third Master Zuo is interested in keeping them here?”

“No no, no! I have always been pure and honest, how can I, how can I fool around with maids and maids?” Zuo Shaoqing’s tongue was beginning to be tied up as he was being stared at by Wu Tie in an extremely embarrassed manner.

Lu Zheng came in front of him and observed every single pore on Zuo Shaoqing’s face. He couldn’t help but rub the back of his hand across Zuo Shaoqing’s smooth and tender cheek. The touch made him think of the finest silk.

“Very fake!”

“...” Zuo Shaoqing subconsciously touched his cheek and pinched it. He thought his expression was perfect.

A thick hand replaced his hand, and imitated his actions by pinching the tender flesh on Zuo Shaoqing’s face. It was just that Zuo Shaoqing was clenching his teeth in pain.

He stared angrily at Lu Zheng and really wanted to ask Master Lu if this was a punishment.

Lu Zheng was a bit reluctant to let go. Most of the men he had met were coarse military generals, and even with such a delicate and tender scholar, he could not arouse Lu Zheng’s desire to communicate at all. Not to mention having hands on him, the scholar in front of him was really special.

Special... It was so appetizing!

He especially wanted to reveal his outer layer of hypocritical skin, so that he could reveal his true appearance.

In his memories, that gentle and refined looking guy from the Jiang Family had a dark heart and was a decently dressed beast. It was said that he had already mixed in with the Ministry of Personnel, and would bring disaster to who knows how many more commoners.

Seeing Lu Zheng’s eyes becoming more and more focused, Zuo Shaoqing felt a little uneasy. Lu Zheng was like a piece of meat placed in front of him. It made people want to jump at him, and there was an unspeakable desire in their hearts.

He was afraid of this desire. In this life, he did not intend to live for others. He wanted revenge, he wanted to become an official. He wanted to rise to the top.

“Lu... Master Lu, it’s getting late... I shall take my leave.” After Zuo Shaoqing said that, he left.

Lu Zheng looked at his empty hands and recalled the throbbing in his heart. He frowned unnaturally. Could it be that he had some ulterior motives towards this young man?

“Yinyi...” Lu Zheng shouted towards the door.

“Master!” Yinyi flew in like a gust of wind and stood straight in front of Lu Zheng. He was trying to figure out how his family’s master had provoked that young man, to the point that his face turned pale.

Lu Zheng sat there in confusion. After a long time, he finally spat out two words: “... Nothing.”

He originally wanted to ask Yinyi’s opinion. After all, he didn’t know anything about relationships, and didn’t even know if that feeling was moving his heart. However, he didn’t know how to ask about this sort of thing, so he could only figure it out.

He had known about men’s ways since he was young, and he had seen quite a few men in the military camp. In his heart, he was not afraid of men, but what was terrifying was: why would he be interested in a scholar?
