Mrs. Rebirth

It wasn't until Jiang Che left that the door of the private room next door was opened, and two young men walked out, one elegant and the other noble, their faces were full of contemplation.

"I didn't expect that Jiang Che's scheming person would dare to plot against Lu Zheng." The man dressed in fine clothes and with a graceful demeanor said with a smile.

Another elegant young man wearing a deep blue robe was Cao Zongguan. He frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, "Is Jiang Shilang looking for the third master of the Zuo family?"

"Jiang Che's masculinity is not a secret. There are quite a few officials who send him beautiful young men every year." The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and he changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you once had a marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Zuo family. , why did you retire? But at the time, they thought their family was unofficial and nameless?"

Cao Zongguan's eyebrows flashed with hostility, and he lowered his head and replied: "The prince is joking, how could the student be such a person? The Zuo family thinks that the student is not worthy of their eldest daughter?"

The former fourth prince, now King Ruiqing raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What's the matter? Haha...Compared with Duke Zhen, your Cao family's fifth-rank magistrate is really not as elegant as you are."

Cao Zongguan lowered his head even lower, his eyes were filled with gloom, "Students believe that the last calculation of the Zuo family was nothing more than a bamboo basket fetching water!"

"This king also hopes to see Lu Zheng marry a man. The Duke of Zhen's title is hereditary. My good second brother probably doesn't want this title to continue."

"Then Jiang Shilang's calculations are not contrary to the emperor's holy will?" After following King Ruiqing these days, Cao Zongguan also knew some factions in the court.

King Ruiqing shook his head, "I'm afraid no one wants to see Duke Lu suffer more than my second brother. What's the point of sacrificing a male favorite?"

Cao Zongguan felt that the title of "male favorite" was really not suitable for Zuo Shaoqing, so he defended him by saying: "I know Zuo Shaoqing well, he is not a frivolous person!"

In the entire Zuo family, after that incident, only Zuo Shaoqing believed in him, and only Zuo Shaoqing could smile from the bottom of his heart when he saw him.

He wanted to deal with the Zuo family, but he didn't want to include Zuo Shaoqing.

If the truth is as good as he heard, then he can even help Zuo Shaoqing. As long as Zuo Shuhui fails to marry the Duke of Zhen, his goal will be half achieved.

If it weren't for the rumors that Lu Gongye fell in love with the young lady of the Zuo family a few days ago, he wouldn't have found another way to jump on the boat of King Ruiqing.

By chance, he ran into Prince Ruiqing by chance. Originally, the two of them just fell in love with a painting at the same time. After some conversation, they were both impressed by the other's talent.

At that time, he didn't know that this young man was King Ruiqing who was famous for his calligraphy and painting. When he knew his identity, Cao Zongguan also realized that this King Ruiqing did not match the rumors.

It was rumored that the fourth prince was obsessed with painting and calligraphy, and had no intention of participating in the battle for the throne. The turmoil last year did not affect him at all. After he ascended the throne, the new emperor generously granted him a fiefdom, but he gave up the fiefdom on the grounds that he did not want to leave Beijing.

The prince who didn't want the fiefdom reassured the new emperor, so waves of rewards flowed into Prince Ruiqing's mansion.

Cao Shouguan was very surprised when he first found out his identity. This Prince Ruiqing was smart and forbearing, scheming and strategic, not at all like this Prince Xiaoyao.

Wang Ruiqing raised his phoenix eyes slightly, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, once the news spreads, this bastard from the Zuo family will definitely be crowned as a male favorite."

Cao Zongguan sighed, if he had known the truth of the matter earlier, he would not have deliberately approached King Ruiqing after learning of his identity.

Now, I'm afraid it's hard to get off the tiger.

When Zuo Shaoyan returned home, he first called the butler into the study room, and asked Zuo Shaoqing about his activities these days in detail. I don't get up until noon.

"When was the last time you left the house?"

"It was the second day after going to Zhen Guogong's mansion for a banquet. The third master said he was going to buy books at the bookstore, but was dragged by the second master to the Hongyuan Temple outside the city, and he came back very late."

Zuo Shaoyan also remembered this incident. If Jiang Che was telling the truth, it would be the day when Zuo Shaoqing was actually with Lu Zheng and went to the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Where did Shao Qing meet?

He never doubted Zuo Yunyang from the beginning to the end, and it was even more impossible for him to imagine that the two had come together long ago.

He waved his hand to make the butler retreat, and when the butler turned around, he whispered: "Send someone to keep an eye on him these few days, and report to me as soon as possible no matter what he does."

Although the housekeeper didn't understand why the uncle was on guard against the third master, but he was the veritable master of the mansion, and he didn't dare to disobey his orders.

The footsteps paused, and the butler asked cautiously: "Master, Aunt Yue is the housekeeper these days, and many things have happened in the mansion."

Zuo Shaoyan frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "What happened to her again?"

"This morning, the servant girl next to the young lady came to the old slave, saying that it was Aunt Yue who withheld young lady's bird's nest."

Zuo Shaoyan slapped the table fiercely, "Presumptuous, who gave her the courage?"

Before that, Zuo Shaoyan spent every day reading in the study, and didn't bother to take care of the family's affairs. He didn't expect that lowly woman to bully him.

The butler didn't want to offend the master's most favored concubine, so he could only answer ambiguously: "The kitchen said that the bird's nests bought recently are all defective products, and Aunt Yue is going to go there on the grounds of safe pregnancy."

Zuo Shaoyan sneered, "I'll go and tell her that she's not the only pregnant woman in this mansion, the one in her stomach is just a bastard, how dare you rob things with the eldest son and grandson of the Zuo family?"

"Yes, I'm going to talk about it, old slave." With Zuo Shaoyan's words, the butler had a solid foundation in his mind.

Although the old man is the head of the family, he rarely changes the decisions made by the old man. In this family, the old man's words are more effective than the old man's words.

Outside He's house, she was leaning on the beauty couch basking in the sun, gently stroking her protruding belly with one hand.

A maid in a green skirt walked in with a stewing pot and reported with a smile on her face: "Miss, the kitchen has stewed bird's nest for you. I heard that the uncle ordered it specially. Aunt Yue was just reprimanded by the uncle."

He opened his eyes, his gaze stayed on the cup of bird's nest for a moment, and he sighed, "I never thought that I, the young lady of the house, can't even keep a bowl of bird's nest."

"Miss, don't say that, it's because Aunt Yue went too far that time, taking advantage of Madam's absence and Master pampering her, she ran amok, hmph, when Madam comes back, there will be good fruit for her to eat!"

He turned her eyes to the sky, there were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, it was a rare good weather, but her mood was not clear, but very gloomy.

These days, she is anxious day and night, afraid that she will not be able to see the sun the next day. She even dreams that the fetus in her womb will not be guaranteed, and her husband will divorce her. married.

She knew that once she was suspended from Zuofu, her future would not be much better than death.

After taking the bird's nest from the servant girl's hand, He asked weakly, "Is the uncle still in the study?"

"Yes." The servant girl rolled her eyes, leaned down and said in a low voice, "Miss, don't worry, those foxes have not dared to mess around recently, Madam told me before she left, whoever dares to mess with you at this time His mentality prevents the uncle from reading books well, and he will definitely be skinned when he comes back!"

Instead of being happy, there was a hint of sadness on He's face. Whenever Xue was mentioned, she always resented and hated, without any sense of intimacy.

"I will try it in the future..." Mrs. He said to herself, "Rui Lan, you said that if the uncle goes to high school in one fell swoop, will there be no way for us to survive?"

The maid hurriedly covered He's mouth, looked around, and let her go after confirming that there was no one there, "Miss...this...maybe it's just random rumors from outsiders."

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. If there is no such thing as the truth, how can there be such rumors outside? Even the third brother has heard of it. My mother-in-law has always disliked me for being from a small family and not worthy of the Zuo family. Family status……"

"Maybe the uncle doesn't think so, a one-night couple and a hundred days of grace."

He waved her hand, she knew the relationship between her and Zuo Shaoyan, the two of them could only be treated as respectful guests at most, it was impossible to say how deep the relationship was.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but make a decision, she couldn't go on like this anymore, she couldn't just sit and wait for death, she didn't want to become a concubine, and she didn't want the child in her stomach to have no serious status.

Rather than watching her husband rise to the top and raise eyebrows with other women, it would be better... to destroy his future. She would rather that the two of them still live in the old house in Youxi Town and live a life that is neither salty nor dull.

Rui Lan helped her daughter into the room, carefully closed the doors and windows, and then whispered to her, "What do you want to do?"

A fierce look gradually rose in He's eyes, "I will make him unable to pass the examination room."

"This..." Rui Lan was shocked, "If we really do this, we will only have a dead end." Who in the Zuo family doesn't know how much the uncle wants to be named on the gold list?

"Of course we can't let others know that we did it."

"Miss, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

Mrs. He nodded, "Isn't there a noisy aunt at home now, it's best to borrow her hand."

Rui Lan thought for a while, her eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "That's true, even if the incident happens, everyone will only suspect that Aunt Yue disrespects you, and doesn't want you to go to high school."

"Yeah, I'm both honored and honored by the uncle, so it's natural to hug him." He laughed strangely, then covered his wet eyes and wept silently.
