Reborn: The First Rank 'Madam” – C94

C94 – Where Did This Bitch Come From?

Zuo Shaoqing waited for a full two hours before hearing the sound of the side door opening. He moved his numb feet and turned his head, revealing a big smiling face, preparing to welcome his future mother-in-law.

As soon as the smile blossomed on his face, it froze. He stared with wide eyes. Who was this middle-aged woman in front of him? Gray sackcloth, dark blue pants, a pair of cotton shoes with a red peony embroidered on the soles. This ... Where did this vulgar village woman come from?

Just as Zuo Shaoqing was stunned, the lady smiled and patted his shoulder: “Hey, where did this handsome young man come from? What are you doing hiding outside this old man’s door? I wonder how much there is in front of the widow’s door?”

Zuo Shaoqing’s face twitched, then he bowed calmly and said, “With Madam dressed up like that, I’m afraid no one would dare to recognize her on the streets.”

There were too many troubles in front of the widows’ doors. Who would have the guts to splash dirty water on the madame?

But then again, even though everyone called her ‘the madame’ and the madame liked to address herself as’ the old lady ‘, she was actually not old. Despite being in her forties, she was well maintained and, apart from some slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, was still a charming woman.

The old lady stroked her chin as she walked two rounds around Zuo Shaoqing. She shook her head and said, “No no, we will become master and servant if we walk together like this. Quickly go and change into some clothes.”

Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head to look at the silver-grey robe on his body. He had never been a high-profile person. Today, he also went out to choose clothes that were like cloth, but compared to the old mistress, he really felt like a peasant woman and a young master.

After going in to change into a set of green and gray linen clothes, they had truly become a poor mother and son from the countryside, if one did not carefully look at their appearance.

“Madame...” Zuo Shaoqing had just started his sentence when the old lady glared at him and changed her words, “...Mother, where are we going?”

The old mistress extended her arm to him, her head held high like a queen’s. “Come to where?”

Zuo Shaoqing took her arm and helped her into the carriage. Then, he jumped on as well. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, a leg stopped him on the spot.

There was a puzzled look on his face. Was the madame planning to test his strength?

“Men and women shouldn’t be too intimate with each other. Just drive the carriage outside.” The old mistress instructed nonchalantly.

“But... I won’t!” Since when did Zuo Shaoqing drive a car himself?

“Hmm?” The madame glanced at him. “You don’t even know how to do such a simple thing?”

Zuo Shaoqing gritted his teeth and fought! Closing the door, he sat in the coachman’s seat nervously.

“Let’s go.” The madame leaned back in the carriage and said.

“Mom, aren’t you going to bring more people?” Zuo Shaoqing turned around and looked at the servants standing by the side of the door. All of them looked at him with eyes filled with worry.

Zuo Shaoqing’s heart tightened. He knew that this was the madame’s way of speaking, “Yes, haha...” If there were fewer clouds in the sky and the wind was warmer, it would probably be a good day.

“I heard that last year, you saved Zhuo’er’s life, but this old woman has never thanked you before.”

“You’re too serious. Master Lu’s lucky, even without me, nothing will happen.” If he hadn’t discovered Lu Zheng’s identity in time, he would have long offended him.

“I heard that you even took care of him with injuries? Day and night?”

“I dare not accept it, this is something that I should do later.” He did go to see Lu Zheng every night. As for taking care of them ... Does acting count?

It seemed that Master Lu helped him a lot. Zuo Shaoqing’s heart was so sweet that it felt like it drank honey. Even his mood of driving was not as heavy as before.

“Zheng’er is too sincere. Although this is a favor meant to save his life, there is no need for me to repay you with my life, right?”

Zuo Shaoqing: “...” Why did it sound like something was wrong? It seemed like the one he had promised was his savior?

“Have you thought about what to do with the incense of Duke Zhen Manor?”

Zuo Shaoqing answered slowly, “This matter is Master Lu’s responsibility!”

“Then don’t you have any ideas? If you are not filial, you will have nothing to back you up. How can you face the ancestors of Zuo Family?”

Zuo Shaoqing replied without any pressure this time: “Old madam, you are overthinking things. I have two older brothers, the second house and a younger brother. Zuo Family does not lack people to continue burning incense.”

“As for the Wu Steel Manor, if Master Lu does not have such thoughts, then there is nothing he can do about it.” On this point, Zuo Shaoqing clearly thought about it. If Lu Zheng really wanted an heir, he would have long sought for a new life in his previous life. However, even after his death, he never heard that the Wu Steel Manor had any descendants.

At that time, he would think to himself maliciously: This old man wouldn’t be unable to be hard on women, right? After all, with Jiang Che as an example, it proved that men, even if they were good men, wouldn’t stop them from getting married and having children.

However, it was because of this that Zuo Shaoqing dared to place his future on Lu Zheng. He did not want the two of them to have to face the issue of their offspring together.

If Lu Zheng really had a child with another woman one day, he might kill the big one and then the small one.

“If you don’t want to think about it, that’s all. If you want it, naturally you will have it.” the old lady said in a probing tone.

Zuo Shaoqing was not fooled and retorted righteously: “Master Lu is an indomitable man. If he doesn’t want to do it, it’s meaningless to force it. Besides, the madame should know that Master Lu is never someone who can be schemed against.”

The old mistress’ lips twitched as she looked at the small village before her, smiling. “The front is the front. Remember not to leak any information in the future.”

Zuo Shaoqing retracted his gaze from the neat house and nodded.

It seemed like this was not the madame’s first time here and she had never used her real identity. What was the purpose of her actions?
