Reborn: The First Rank "Madam"

C92 – Subordinate Doesn’t Know!

Zuo Shaoqing hummed as he entered the room, closed the door, threw himself on the bed and rolled twice. He thought to himself happily: Zuo Shaoyan wants to do the best he can for his, abandoning a useless wife to climb into a high school, that is only if he can pass the exam.

He did not believe that a married man without any status would be able to enter the eyes of those crafty court officials.

Now that he saw Mrs. Hoe’s actions, even though she was a little weak in character, she was still the daughter of an official. She would not be someone who had no tricks up her sleeve.

Even if it was for her own future and the child in her womb, she had no choice but to harden her heart and plan ahead.

Zuo Shaoqing smirked and suddenly felt a strange gaze on him. He jumped up from the bed and when he saw a person standing in the corner, his heart nearly stopped beating, “You… When did you come in?”

Yinyi stood in a dark corner of the room with his arms crossed. If Zuo Shaoqing wasn’t alert, he probably wouldn’t have noticed that blind spot.

“Before Lord Third entered the house.”

Zuo Shaoqing recalled that Lu Zheng had said that he would let Yinyi follow him for a period of time. Immediately, his head became as big as an ox. “Is it too late to return the goods now?”

“You have to tell my master what Third Master Zuo said.” A trace of a smile appeared on Yinyi’s calm face.

If it wasn’t for Zuo Shaoqing’s crafty smile, he wouldn’t have been noticed if he looked at Zuo Shaoqing a few more times.

“When is Master Lu free?” Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes and felt that having a speaking tube beside him might not be a bad idea.

Yinyi walked out from the shadows. His well-defined face was exposed under the light, and the long scar on his forehead forcibly destroyed his beauty.

“Yu Lin Wei has intercepted a few of Beidi’s spies. I won’t be returning home for the next few days.”

Zuo Shaoqing answered with an “oh” and rubbed his chin. In his previous life, did something big happen at this time?

Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t remember anything after thinking for a long time, so he didn’t mind. He looked at Yinyi with the corner of his eye and tried to figure out how to arrange this shadow shadow guard.

He couldn’t possibly expose himself to the other party’s eyes when he was bathing in the toilet, right? Zuo Shaoqing felt goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yinyi still didn’t know that he was being looked down on. He took out something from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Shaoqing. “I ordered this subordinate to bring it to you.”

“What is it?” Zuo Shaoqing reached out to take it, and touched the silk cloth wrapped around the bag. He thought to himself: This bag looks so good, could it be a token of love from Lu Zheng?

The jade pendant that Lu Zheng had previously given him was hung on his neck with great care. In any case, it would be family in the future, and Lu Zheng’s was his, so there was no need to return it.

He opened the cloth bag and revealed a yellowed book. Zuo Shaoqing looked at the book and found it familiar. When he opened it, he was stunned.

It was actually the lower part of the Heart Cleansing Art!

“For me?” Zuo Shaoqing raised his head and asked in surprise. If he did not remember wrongly, Lu Zheng said that this item was passed down from generation to generation from Lu Family.

Although it couldn’t be considered a family heirloom, he couldn’t just give it up like that.

Yinyi nodded and threw down another heavy bomb. “I’ll meet you at the side door of the State Duke’s Residence tomorrow morning.”

Zuo Shaoqing almost lost his grip on the book, “She… Did she ask me to meet his? Why?”

“This subordinate does not know!” Yinyi answered indifferently.

“Did she need me for something?”

“This subordinate does not know!” Yinyi answered in a serious tone.

“Did she say where she was going?”

“This subordinate does not know!” Yinyi answered patiently.

Zuo Shaoqing’s mouth twitched, “Then what do you know?”

Yinyi glanced at him and replied indifferently, “Your subordinate does not know!” How could he know what the madame was thinking? And why did he want to see Zuo Shaoqing?

“Haven’t we just met today? Could it be that the madame is regretting her decision and is preparing to beat me up again?” Zuo Shaoqing said to himself. He didn’t even notice when Yinyi disappeared in front of him.

Zuo Shaoqing gave up after thinking for a long time. It seemed like the madame wasn’t going to kill him today.

Now that he felt relieved, Zuo Shaoqing had the mood to study the manual in his hands.

His Mind Cleansing Art had already recovered to the second layer and was showing signs of breaking through. This speed was much faster than his previous life’s.

He was just worried that Lu Zheng would stop when he reached the third level, so he gave him this huge gift.

The lower volume of the Heart Cleansing Method was also not long, only a dozen pages. It was still divided into three layers. Zuo Shaoqing felt like he had opened it after reading it once.

Many of the obscure and incomprehensible details in the first volume were well explained. Zuo Shaoqing finally understood why a high level cultivation technique that he practiced for half the time was not effective.

This was definitely not a simple ‘1 + 1’ equals 2. If he could master the entire manual, then he would be able to become a First Rated Warrior on the day he succeeded.

Excited, Zuo Shaoqing sat on the bed with his legs crossed, regardless of whether it was dark or not. He chanted the chants in the book once and sank his qi into his dantian.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Zuo Shaoqing felt that his senses had cleared up a lot and the obstruction in his meridians disappeared. He actually broke through the bottleneck in one breath and reached the third level.

Wu Tie let out a soft “Eh”. He didn’t expect Zuo Shaoqing’s power to increase so quickly. The force that was emitted was like a substance, causing the temperature in the room to rise quite a bit.

As for the youth sitting on the bed, his entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of white mist, giving him the feeling of an Misty Feather Immortal.

This was truly worthy of being the life essence of an esteemed monk. Just this aura alone was enough to make people feel comfortable.

Yinyi knew that Zuo Shaoqing’s current power was not enough. True experts with deep inner strength should be reserved, just like his master. Even if he reached out and touched Zuo Shaoqing’s pulse, he could not feel his inner strength.

The sky gradually darkened. Zuo Shaoqing seemed to have entered a meditative state, so he couldn’t hear the noise coming from outside. Wu Tie jumped onto the roof, lowered his body and walked towards the bustling Tinlan Garden.

“Hurry up and wait at the gate. As soon as Old Master comes back, he immediately said that I have urgent business with him.” Mrs. Xue instructed the butler happily. Then she generously instructed Madam Zhu, “Go to the kitchen and let everyone know what the dishes are for tonight.”

When Madam Zhu saw that she was in an exceptionally good mood, she did not intend to use the terrible worries in the kitchen to answer her, so she naturally agreed with a smile.

When all the servants in the room had left, Mrs. Xue held her daughter’s hand happily and said, “It’s finally the best of times. With Fifth Princess’s words, Master Lu will definitely take a fancy to you.”

Zuo Shuhui’s face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled. “Mother, are you not satisfied with what the madame said earlier?”

Mrs. Xue retracted her smile and carefully chewed on the words the madame had said a few times. “That’s not necessarily true. Perhaps it’s just a test for us.”

Seeing that her daughter still did not understand, Mrs. Xue explained: “I guessed, the old lady must be dissatisfied with the background of the Zuo Family, so she gave us the idea of retreating after knowing the difficulties, but since Master Lu insisted, she could not say much, but didn’t she look at you in a different light afterwards? If she gives you her personal belongings, she might have some intentions of accepting you.”

I have to say, Madam Zuo, you think too highly of your daughter!

When Yinyi heard these words, he raised his eyebrows in disdain. He really didn’t understand why Zuo Family had such thoughts. Could it be that Master Lu said that he did something to make them misunderstand?

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard two hurried footsteps approaching, so he patiently bent down and continued listening.

The door was pushed open with a “creak”. Zuo Yunwen and his son walked in with big steps. After the door was closed, Zuo Yunwen eagerly asked: “How was it?”

Mrs. Xue glanced at Zuo Shuhui with a smile and described everything that had happened today in great detail. Especially when she mentioned Fifth Princess, she did not miss a single detail.

After Zuo Yunwen heard this, he laughed out loud three times, “Good, good, good! I already said it, why would the Wu Steel Manor send a post to our family. You must know that we have no power or influence, and we are not related to the Wu Steel Manor, unless the two families are about to become relatives.”

Zuo Shaoyan is also very happy. With a powerful and powerful brother-in-law, his career path in the future will definitely be smoother.

Furthermore, the Duke Zhen Residence valued martial arts heavily, so they could not afford to lose in the civil service. With the concubine Zuo Family, Master Lu had no reason not to give his all.

Excited, Zuo Shaoyan said calmly: “How should we deal with this Fifth Princess? When Father and I went out today, we heard that His Majesty intended to marry Fifth Princess off to Master Lu, but Master Lu refused.”

Zuo Yunwen waved his hand. “Since you’ve already refused, then it’s impossible. Wu Tie just achieved an extraordinary achievement and the Emperor just ascended the throne. He won’t refuse you even this little bit of face.”

“Son, I’m just worried that Fifth Princess might be unwilling and secretly tried to kill my sister.”

“This…” The other three all furrowed their brows. Their opponent was an unspeakably precious Jadeite Leaf. If they really fought, they simply had no chance of winning.

Zuo Yunwen sighed and said: “Now, I can only hope that Shao Yan will start high school soon and earn a position for Zuo Family. During this period of time, Shuhui will not go out of the house, and we can always hide if we can’t provoke her.”

“That’s the only way.”
