C99 – Half Half Worry & Joy
When they arrived at the entrance of the city, Zuo Shaoqing saw Zuo Yunyang and his men waiting there with two black sedans. Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t help but glance at Lu Zheng.
He did not believe that Second Uncle’s appearance here was a coincidence.
Lu Zheng carried him off the horse and gave him to Zuo Yunyang. After giving him a few more words of advice, he handed the two bottles to him. “Remember to take your medicine once a day.”New novel chapters are published on
Zuo Shaoqing had a little understanding of medicine, so he recognized that one of the bottles was the Gold Sore Medicine he used today, and the other bottle was the ointment to remove the scar.
The things that Lu Zheng took out would definitely not be bad. Zuo Shaoqing thanked him and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he bowed towards Zuo Yunyang and said, “Sorry for troubling Second Uncle to wait here for so long. It’s my nephew’s fault!”
Zuo Yunyang first gave Liu Tie a big bow, then turned around and winked at Zuo Shaoqing as he said, “Today, we are going to the Hongwei Temple outside the city to pray. We came back too late, we still have to go to Big Brother’s residence to disturb him.”
Zuo Shaoqing knew he was trying to find an excuse, so he was grateful.
Zuo Yunyang and Lu Zheng whispered to each other for a while. Zuo Shaoqing only heard a few words, as if they were talking about the accounts of Cao Sect.
Lu Zheng had always been impatient with these tasks. “Leave it to Shao Qing.” As he spoke, he threw a black wooden token into Zuo Shaoqing’s arms.
It wasn’t Zuo Shaoqing’s first time seeing this thing. It was also because of this wooden token that he recognized Lu Zheng’s identity. Naturally, he knew what this thing represented.
Surprised, he asked, “For me?”
Lu Zheng nodded, “Learn to do it first. If you don’t understand, you can ask the butler.”
Zuo Shaoqing knew what Lu Zheng was planning when he heard this. He was half happy and half worried. He had never been in charge of a family and did not know if he was qualified to be one.
Lu Zheng helped him to straighten his long hair that was blown by the wind, jumped on the horse, gave Zuo Shaoqing a deep look and then led him into the city.
After a moment of surprise, Zuo Yunyang happily said, “Congratulations Shao Qing, it seems that Master Lu really treats you sincerely.” To be honest, he didn’t think much of their relationship at the beginning. What kind of status did Lu Zheng have? What kind of people do you want?
But from today’s actions, by informing him to pick someone up, and by giving him the badge representing Duke Zhen, it was enough to show how much he valued his nephew.
It seemed like Zuo Shaoqing’s future would be priceless. Luckily, he did not reject Zuo Shaoqing’s cooperation at the beginning.
Zuo Shaoqing put away his stuff and smiled shyly at Zuo Yunyang, “Uncle must be joking. Let’s go back.”
“No rush, no rush. I have to see someone first.” Zuo Yunyang waved at the sedan chair and a short man immediately ran over.
“Supervisor Ke?” Zuo Shaoqing looked at Ke Youliang, who he hadn’t seen for a few months, in surprise and asked, “You came back from the sea?”
“Oh? Sister-in-law and the others are also moving over?” Zuo Yunwen frowned. He wasn’t happy at all when he heard this news. He didn’t want others to know that he had a business brother.
“That’s right, we can’t just leave them at home. I’m going to open a few shops in the capital and eat and drink.”
Mrs. Xue’s face did not look too good either. She could not help but say with disdain, “Second Uncle is indeed a businessman. He has a good plan, but do not think that he will be without worries just because he has a big house to support him. This capital is not comparable to Youuxi Town.”
She thought that Zuo Yunyang knew that Zuo Family and Wu Steel Manor were going to get married, and wanted to borrow their glory.
No matter how good Zuo Yunyang’s temper was, he could not help but feel infuriated. He replied with a smile that did not quite reach his eyes, “Eldest Sister-in-law, you are overthinking things.” If the main house didn’t have Zuo Shaoqing, it would be hard for it to have a climate.
The pitiful Mrs. Xue and the rest still couldn’t see the situation clearly and were still full of themselves. When the truth was revealed in the future, it would definitely be spectacular.
The two legitimate sons of the main house, Zuo Shaoling, had been completely crippled and could only keep their lives. Zuo Shaoyan was still fine and didn’t know if he would be able to continue doing so.
From the moment Zuo Shaoqing told him to hit those old men in the family, Zuo Yunyang had already vaguely seen the situation. This nephew of his was probably going to do something big.
Zuo Shaoqing’s attention was diverted away and he was spared a punishment, so he took the opportunity to escape after hearing a few words. Although his injuries were all minor, he still didn’t feel well after standing for a long time.
When he returned to his room, Luo Xiaoliu had already prepared hot water, and there were a few conspicuous scratches on his face. When he saw Zuo Shaoqing, he shouted happily, “Master San, the woman in the kitchen is finally dead! We will get our revenge!”
“She’s screwed! Do you think your days are going to be easy?” Zuo Shaoqing beat him up bluntly, “Watch and see. Mrs. Xue can’t touch this grandpa for the time being, so she can only look for the pleasure of revenge on your body.”
“Ah...” Luo Xiaoliu cried out in pain and paced around the room anxiously, “Then what should we do?”
Zuo Shaoqing sank into the hot water. His wound was in pain from being pricked by the water, but he didn’t mind. He interrupted Luo Xiaoliu’s anxiety and asked, “Have you settled Nanny Liu down?”
“Yes, I’ll send it to Second Master. With the flag of not having a wife to take care of beside Second Master, Second Master also added a generous gift afterwards. The old master and the lady did not say anything after receiving the gift.”
“Hmph, I’m afraid that Second Uncle’s gift is not bad. Buying ten women is enough, what else can they say?”
“But...” Luo Xiaoliu hesitated. He didn’t know if he should tell Zuo Shaoqing about the rumors spread around the mansion.
“If you have something to say, say it!”
“Just listen to what you have to say. The servants in the mansion all say that Nanny Liu has Second Master’s eyes on her. She is taking advantage of Second Madam’s absence... Ugh...”
“Pah!” Zuo Shaoqing smacked the screen on the side and asked with a sullen face, “Who taught it?”
Luo Xiaoliu shrunk his neck and whispered, “It probably started in the kitchen.” His family’s San Ye was a man of few gods. It was just as the book had described; he was too powerful.
“It seems like it isn’t enough to just clean out an old woman. This debt will be owed to Mrs. Xue!”
