Reborn: The First Rank 'Madam” – C229

C229 – I’ll See You Then

Zuo Shaoqing sat in the carriage with a flushed face. He realized that he had just done something shameful. On the other hand, Lu Zheng’s expression was still natural. As expected of someone who had been trained by thousands of men and horses.

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed his face and crooked his finger at Yinyi. Then, he whispered a few words into Yinyi’s ear.

Luo Xiaoliu looked at the two of them curiously. He didn’t know why his San Ye sent Yinyi to do such a wicked thing again.

However ... Did this mean that he had temporarily escaped death today? He hoped that Yinyi had a bad memory and would forget about what happened just now the next day.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yinyi looked at Luo Xiaoliu’s secretly delighted expression and knew what he was thinking about. The cold smile on his face relaxed a little, and he then drove the carriage to the busiest street in the capital.

When they reached a crowded area, Zuo Shaoqing pulled Lu Zheng out of the carriage. Zuo Xiaolang was held in his arms to avoid being pushed away by the crowd.

“It’s so lively.” Zuo Shaoqing had been in the capital for such a long time, but this was the first time he was so free from boredom.

“It will be even more lively during the first day of the Lunar New Year.”

Luo Xiaoliu agreed on the side, “I heard that on the first day of the Chinese New Year, if you can get a lantern personally made by your beloved, the two of you will have a peaceful life together.”

He looked at Yinyi expectantly, but he also felt that Yinyi would not be able to do such a thing and he curled his lips in defeat.

Zuo Shaoqing coughed dryly and tried not to look at Lu Zheng’s expression.

“Let’s find a place to eat first. Lil Thing should be hungry.”

Zuo Xiaolang’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was food. Even though he ate three meals a day, he was still obsessed with food.

Zuo Shaoqing patted his belly, “They say the Prime Minister’s stomach can hold up a boat. I’m afraid that our Xiaolang’s stomach isn’t any smaller than the Prime Minister’s.”

Although Zuo Xiaolang didn’t understand the meaning behind his words, he nodded his head happily. Then, he pointed at a restaurant and shouted: “Daddy, go there... “It smells so good!”

“Dog nose!” Zuo Shaoqing joked and then really carried him in.

After entering, he found that this was only a very ordinary restaurant. The tables and chairs were somewhat old, and all the guests in the hall were gulping down mouthfuls of wine and eating meat, making a ruckus.

Zuo Shaoqing frowned and asked Zuo Xiaolang: “Are you sure you want to eat here?”

Zuo Xiaolang nodded fiercely, his nose twitched as he said, “Meat, it smells good!”

Zuo Shaoqing replied with a wry smile, “Alright.”

The shopkeeper immediately came out from the counter when he saw them, and asked excitedly: “What do you want, Masters? Shop... “The store ...”

When he was full, Zuo Shaoqing would wash Zuo Xiaolang’s hands. If there was anything else Zuo Xiaolang was not satisfied with, it would be his personal hygiene. If Zuo Shaoqing wanted him to take a bath, no one would be able to force him, except Lu Zheng.

He rubbed his short hair that wasn’t even an inch long, put on his cotton cap, then said to Lu Zheng in a low voice, “I agree with what you said before.”

Lu Zheng paused for a moment and understood what he meant, “If you don’t want to, then don’t force yourself.”

“No, after what happened today, I found out that Zuo Xiaolang won’t be recognized by others as long as he doesn’t enter the family tree of the Wu Steel Manor. This is not good for him.”

“You can just change the name on the family tree and call him whatever you want.” Zuo Xiaolang and Lu Xiaolang were no different to him.

“Lu Xiaolan... It sounds better than Zuo Xiaolan’s. ” Zuo Shaoqing was unwilling to admit that after being crowned with the surname Lu, his heart was always a little empty.

When Zuo Xiaolang heard his name, he looked at him in confusion. The next moment, he was pushed into Zuo Shaoqing’s embrace, “Little thing, do well in the future and don’t embarrass the Liu family. Otherwise, father will be the first to not let you off!”

Zuo Xiaolang didn’t understand, but he still nodded obediently.

Zuo Shaoqing sighed. It seemed that he would have to capture the education that he had planned on doing. If he had changed his identity, Zuo Xiaolang’s lifestyle would have to be changed.

Lu Zheng put his arm around Lu Zheng’s shoulders and whispered, “It just so happens that the emperor came to your house tomorrow and told him to meet Lil Thing face to face.”

Zuo Shaoqing then remembered that there was such a thing, “Did we forget to tell Mother first? The Residence must make some preparations. “

“It doesn’t matter. Since the emperor wants to conduct a private interview, he wouldn’t care about these matters.” Anyway, his target was not them, “But for Cao Zongguan, get someone to send an invitation tonight.”

Zuo Shaoqing scratched his chin and asked with a complicated look in his eyes, “Why do I feel like this is very strange?” Why did the Emperor suddenly become interested in Brother Cao? And you still act as if you have to. “

Lu Zheng had a wild guess, but it would depend on tomorrow’s situation to confirm it. If this was true, then the recent rumors in the capital could be understood.

“This has nothing to do with us, don’t think too much.”

Zuo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows. He felt that Lu Zheng knew something he didn’t. It was hard to be curious.

Since Lu Zheng didn’t want to say it, he might as well dig it out himself. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t dig it out himself.

Returning to the residence, Zuo Shaoqing took up a pen and slanted an invitation to Cao Zongguan. Between the lines, he secretly revealed that a “master” wanted to meet him and asked him to meet him at the Liu Steel Manor tomorrow at noon.

When Cao Zongguan received the post, he was sitting by himself drinking under the moon. It had been 28 days since he had last entered the palace. During this time, Zhan Yuanfeng had also been called a few times, but he had refused due to unwell health.

He didn’t know whether that person would be angry or not, but he didn’t think about getting rid of Zhan Yuanfeng. After all, the two of them had a deal to settle.

After reading Zuo Shaoqing’s post, Cao Zongguan had a bad premonition. To be carefully written on the post by Zuo Shaoqing and also be called “Master”, it must be that person, right?

Cao Zongguan put away the post and let the butler prepare a congratulatory gift for him to go to the banquet tomorrow.

I’ll see him then. In broad daylight, at Duke Zhen Manor, that person can’t do anything to him, so what’s there to be afraid of?
