Chapter 84 - Move to New Home
Zuo Shaoyan led the way and brought the group to a relatively remote house. He helped Zuo Yunwen off the car and said, “Father, time is of the essence. Your son can't find a good house, so let's just stay here for a few days, shall we?”
Zuo Yunwen looked around his surroundings and saw the commoners dressed in plain clothes. He frowned unhappily, but he knew that this was a hard place to get a house in the capital, so he could only go with that.
Zuo Shaoqing was surprised. He didn't expect Zuo Shaoyan to buy a house in the capital in just a few days. It seemed like he had spent quite a bit of money.
At this moment, the woman on the carriage got off, the first thing Zuo Shaoqing saw was Zuo Shuhui dressed in a gorgeous dress. She was wrapped in a light pink and was wrapped in a green muslin, revealing a beautiful curve of her neck.
Her face was adorned with her unique plum blossom makeup. Although her face was a little pale from the long journey, it gave her a more delicate and beautiful appearance.
Zuo Shaoqing sighed in his heart: In terms of color, Zuo Shuhui is indeed a rare beauty.
Just then, a flirtatious female voice interrupted Zuo Shaoqing's line of sight, “Master, is this our home in the capital? It might as well be our old home!”
Zuo Shaoqing followed the voice and saw a young woman with an enchanting figure. She was wearing a green cotton jacket, a pleated skirt of the same color, with clear eyes and white teeth, and a pair of slender phoenix eyes that exuded a seductive charm.
Zuo Shaoqing stared at her slightly bulging stomach. His brain exploded and his expression changed. He remembered. Wasn't this Zuo Yunwen's new pet, Lady Yue?
In his previous life, he already knew that it was this woman who appeared, causing Zuo Yunwen's last sliver of concern for Lady Ruan to turn into smoke, making him feel worse than before.
At that time, he thought, if this woman did not appear, would Zuo Yunwen still agree to Zuo Shaoyan sending him to Jiang's Mansion like they were goods? He didn't know why he hadn't seen this woman before at Youuxi Town, but judging from her stomach, the two of them should have been better for quite some time.
Zuo Shaoqing noticed that Mrs. Xue's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard Lady Yue's words, “You, a cheap woman who can marry anyone, actually have the right to be picky? If you don't want to, you can go back!”
Lady Yue immediately moved closer to Zuo Yunwen and said weakly, “Master...”
Zuo Yunwen shouted at Mrs. Xue, “Enough!” Then, he pacified his concubine, “Don't talk so much. Unlike Youuxi Town, the capital city is better off living first before slowly searching for a house.”
“Humph!” Mrs. Xue glared at the man and woman angrily as she ordered someone to help Zuo Shaoling out of the carriage.
The girls were naturally led by Mrs. Xue as they quickly followed him. Only then did Zuo Shaoqing see the arrogant and despotic second brother.
In just a short month, this robust youth was so thin that he did not look human. His thick clothes hung on his body and his face was yellowish. The moment someone approached him, he would immediately kick them away, with a deranged look in his eyes.
Zuo Shaoqing followed him through the door and saw Mrs. Hoe standing behind the crowd. Her lower abdomen was slightly raised as well, but her face was very yellow. It was obvious that she couldn't bear the bumpy journey.
It's fine to have a good child, otherwise, Zuo Shaoqing wouldn't be able to protect this woman even before he used his plan.
He carefully examined Zuo Shaoyan's expression and asked about Mrs. Hoe's body with concern as if he was a normal good husband.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't know what he was thinking, but he could feel a chill all over his body.
“Eldest Sis has worked hard all this time.” Zuo Shaoqing went up and bowed to Mrs. Hoe. As for Zuo Yunwen and his concubine, he didn't want to bother with them at all.
“Good morning, third brother!” Mrs. Hoe held her waist and leaned on the servant girl. She looked at Zuo Shaoqing with distance in her eyes, but without malice.
Zuo Shaoqing seemed concerned as he said: “Sis, you've been working all the way here and you're pregnant. Why don't you hurry up and go to your room to rest?”
Mrs. Hoe nodded and followed Zuo Shaoyan in, holding the servant girl's hand.
Zuo Shaoqing raised his head and looked at the manor that still had the signboard. His eyebrows twitched as he whispered: “It's just another cage.”
The servants only packed their luggage in a orderly manner. The owners all went to rest. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Zuo Shaoqing returned to the Pure Wind Inn first.
Since Zuo Family was here, there was no reason for him to stay at the inn anymore. He could only let Nanny Liu pack her luggage and move to his new home. However, he was careful and told Nanny Liu to leave all the expensive clothes in her luggage to his second uncle.
Zuo Shaoqing went back with Zuo Yunyang, while the servants were still busy. The mansion did not officially open a restaurant, so they called for a restaurant to deliver their meals.
At the dining table, men and women sat separately. Wu Tie excitedly drank a few more cups of wine and then started talking about receiving the invitation from the Sun family. It made Liu Tie look at Zuo Shaoqing again and again.
“I really didn't expect that my Zuo Family would actually meet such a noble person. Everyone must be careful tomorrow, don't be rude to others.”
Everyone quickly responded. Even Zuo Yunyang was surprised that he was invited. After all, it was almost impossible for someone with his status to enter that door.
As for why it was so special, he knew it was because of Zuo Shaoqing without thinking. Speaking of it, he was also a proper family member.
He looked sympathetically at Zuo Yunwen and saw his father-in-law's attitude. He shook his head secretly. When his big brother found out that Master Lu was interested in his son and not his daughter, he wondered how scared he would be.
Their new home was a lot smaller. Zuo Shaoqing was only assigned a small suite, while Luo Xiaoliu was still on night duty. Since some of the servants didn't follow them, Nanny Liu was transferred to the kitchen to help out.
Speaking of which, Nanny Liu couldn't be considered a servant of Zuo's Mansion. Her indenture contract was with Zuo Shaoqing, and only her monthly salary was paid by Zuo's Mansion.
Before Zuo Shaoqing died, Nanny Liu always subsidized her monthly allowance whenever she ran out of money. Now, Zuo Shaoqing naturally didn't care about the amount of money and only thought of a reason to release Nanny Liu in a few days to prevent her from being called around by others.
In addition, what surprised Zuo Shaoqing was that there was an additional beautiful maid in his room.
“What's your name?” Zuo Shaoqing asked angrily.
“Your name is Yan'Er.”
Zuo Shaoqing frowned as he did not like this name, “I've never seen you in the house before. Did you buy it recently?”
Yan'Er raised her head and looked at him timidly, her beautiful eyes were filled with emotions, “Yes, madam is kind and saved this servant's brother.”
Zuo Shaoqing was noncommittal. It wasn't enough for Mrs. Xue to release Luo Xiaoliu by his side, but she had actually found a servant girl. Was she sensing the change in Luo Xiaoliu or was she worried for him?
“As you can see, I don't have any extra room for you to stay in. Go back and tell Madam that I don't need any maidservants here.”
Yan'Er knelt down immediately, kowtowing as she wailed, “Master San, please accept this servant. Madam has already said this before, if Master San doesn't want her, then allow this servant to marry the coachman.”
Zuo Shaoqing was so angry that he started laughing. Feelings warmed his bed!
“So what if you're married to a groom?” Did he really think that he was a man that cherished the fairer sex?
Yan'Er crawled a few steps forward, wanting to bump into Zuo Shaoqing, but was kicked away. She only heard his cold command: “Get out!”
“Lord Third...” Yan'Er raised her head in disbelief, staring at the pair of teary eyes, her little appearance did have some beauty.
Zuo Shaoqing bent down and whispered in her ear, “Rather than following an unfavoured bastard like me, why don't you follow me?”
Yan'Er thought for a moment before she weakly said, “Madam has bestowed two girls to me as well.” As for her, she was just left over after being selected.
“So what? “Little girl, you don't mind if there's too many of them. Young Madame is a girl with six armors, and is unable to serve. This is your best chance. As for the others, if you don't have any, then why don't you marry the coachman as soon as possible?”
Yan'Er gritted her teeth. “Lord Third...” Why wouldn't he accept a servant? But this servant is not good?”
Zuo Shaoqing looked at her indifferently and replied bluntly: “I really can't see where you're going.”
Yan'Er's eyes immediately filled with tears, and two streams of tears fell down. It was indeed a pity, it was Zuo Shaoqing she met. He was warm-hearted and cold, and he also hated Mrs. Xue.
Yan'Er saw that there was no hope of staying, so she made up her mind and kowtowed to Zuo Shaoqing, then ran out crying.
As for whether or not he was really sad, or if he was just putting on a show, Zuo Shaoqing didn't care.
Luo Xiaoliu secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the side, “Master San, this madam is too anxious. She came to your room as soon as she settled down. If that lord finds out, our whole family will suffer together with her.”
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and warned, “When you are outside, no matter how presumptuous you are, you have to control your mouth when you live here. If I find out that you have leaked your secret, I won't forgive you!”
Luo Xiaoliu shivered and replied respectfully: “Yes!”
