Chapter 308 Diligent and Silent
Silent night.
Zong Jincheng tossed and turned in his bed, all he could think about was Luo Jingfeng's words. Although his mother had calmed him down, he was still wondering whose child he was.
That day in the East Palace, His Highness told him that Luo Shu had secretly given birth to a little prince, and asked him to tell the little prince that he must hide his ignorance when he returns to Luo Jingfeng. But he forgot to ask His Highness at that time... Who is the little prince and where is he now?
Zong Jincheng turned over again, remembering that His Highness said that Luo Shu was the most important person to Luo Jingfeng, and the little prince was also an important figure who controlled Luo Jingfeng. If that little prince was him... then Luo Jingfeng's attitude towards him would be very different from before.
Luo Jingfeng...is he really his biological uncle?
Zong Jincheng didn't dare to think about it any further. He pulled the quilt over his head and imitated Shen Yibai, thinking:
As long as I stop thinking about it, he is not my uncle!
The next day.
Buyan went to Zongzhaoyuan early in the morning.
He used to be the young marquis's sparring partner, and was sent to protect Master Cheng because the young marquis was missing. Now that the young marquis is back, can his mission be completed?
The more Bu Yan thought about it, the more excited he became. When he thought about no longer having to serve that living ancestor, he almost wanted to jump three feet high.
Young Marquis, Young Marquis, I have been waiting for you for too long!
Because the large study was reserved for Jincheng and the others, Zong Zhao now did his work and read at the small desk in his room. He did not think the place was small and just concentrated on writing on the memorials.
Outside the door, the maid Ruyi came in with tea.
She carefully put the tray down, looked around the table and asked, "Young Marquis, would you like me to grind some more ink for you?"
"No need." Zong Zhao said in a cold voice, refusing without even raising his head.
Ruyi lifted the lid of the teapot and said softly, "I am not good at making tea. Hongtiao and Luru, who served you for many years in the previous room, were sent to another manor by the madam and have not returned yet. Without them, I am worried that I will not be able to serve you well."
Zong Zhao stopped writing and finally looked up.
Seeing this, Ruyi immediately said, "Young Marquis, your wife was a newlywed at the time, so it's inevitable that she didn't know how important Hongtiao and Luru were to you. Now they have been away for two years. After all, they are old people in the mansion. Do you think you should bring them back?"
Xu Wan had just returned from the study when she saw Buyan rushing over here. She even had time to wave at him and said, "Buyan, do you have something to ask the young marquis?"
He nodded without saying anything.
"Then you can come back with me. I just wanted to get him a bigger desk. He lives in the room. That small desk is what I usually use for drawing. It's too small for official work."
Bu Yan was immediately excited when he heard this, and he quickly said, "I can help the young marquis move the table."
Xu Wan smiled and said, "Okay, we have the labor force."
The two of them went back together, but before they even entered the door, they heard Ruyi's complaint.
Bu Yan was confused, it seemed like they came at the wrong time.
Madam, please don't be angry...
If he is angry and does not replace the big table for the young marquis this time, then he will not have the opportunity to show his ability in moving the table. Can his wish to be transferred back to the young marquis's side still be realized?
Xu Want stood at the door for two seconds, feeling so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to go in or just turn around and leave.
Hongtiao and Luru were maids who used to serve Zong Zhao. When she first entered the mansion, she was instigated by Zong Jincheng to cause trouble for her. Xu Wan was worried that these two arrogant maids would take advantage of their seniority and bully her, and would make it difficult to educate the children, so she gave an order to send them to the old lady's villa.
The old lady was of one mind with her, and after she returned to live permanently in the mansion, she did not bring the two maids back with her.
After learning that Zong Zhao was still alive, Xu Wan once thought about whether to bring the two of them back home. But then she thought, what the hell is the point of bringing them back? She is not the reincarnated Holy Mother, so why would she repay evil with kindness? As long as Zong Zhao didn't mention it, she would just pretend it never happened.
Unexpectedly, there was another "old" friend of Hongtiao Luru in the courtyard, and he began to instigate and try to get his sisters out.
"No words." Zong Zhao's voice rang out from inside the house.
Xu Wan blinked, confusedly thinking: Could this be the method used by martial arts masters to identify people by their footsteps?
Did Zong Zhao also hear her coming?
Buyan ran in quickly and said in a loud voice, "Young Marquis, Buyan is here. Please give me your orders."
Ruyi was delighted, for she knew that the young marquis was nostalgic and would definitely bring Hongtiao Luru back. Everyone in the mansion was his lady's people, and she was isolated and helpless here, so she was looking forward to Hongtiao Luru's return.
Sister Hongtiao is the prettiest. If she can come back safely, she might even be able to become a maid. By then...
Zong Zhao's cold voice interrupted her delusional thoughts: "They are slandering the mistress and causing trouble in the harem. Sell all three of them together."
As one wishes:"!!!"
"Young Marquis!" Ruyi begged for mercy in fear, "I know I was wrong, I deserve to die, please let me go, I just said a few words, I don't deserve this..."
Bu Yan used all his eyesight in his life, covered Ruyi's mouth with one hand, dragged her out with the other hand, and did not forget to show his best: "Young Marquis, don't worry, I promise to do it well!"
Xu Wan: “…”
Needless to say, your diligence is so obvious.
However, after this incident, Xu Wan remembered that there was no one to serve Zong Zhao yet. She gave Cuizhi a few instructions and went to arrange new people.
Xu Wan walked to the table, thought for a moment and said, "I thought you would want Hongtiao and Luru to come back. After all, they are the maids in your room and are more accustomed to serving you." These were the words that the little devil used to scare her.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
Zong Zhao frowned and replied, "I don't have a concubine."
"Ah? No, I mean girls, ordinary girls." Xu Wan scratched her head, feeling that she couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
Zong Zhao replied: "I have no impression, I don't remember."
“…”
Xu Wan touched her nose and thought: Hongtiao and Lu Ru were really wrong. Xu Wan still remembered clearly how arrogant they were at that time.
She thought they had someone to rely on, but it turned out that Zong Zhao didn't even remember him. As Cuizhi said, the young marquis was only interested in studying and practicing martial arts, and didn't pay any attention to them.
"Husband, how long will your official duties last? I think it's a bit crowded for you to sit here, so I want Bu Yan to get you a bigger table."
Xu Wan once again tried to use this affectionate name, but the embarrassment was so obvious that she almost stuttered.
"I'm done with my work and I'm about to leave the house. I might be back late. You guys can change. You don't have to wait for me for dinner." Zong Zhao stood up and walked out. After a few steps, he turned around and said, "Just call me by my name from now on. Don't be so rigid about it."
"Oh, okay." Xu Wan waved goodbye to him with a smile.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Cuizhi was not lying to me. There was indeed a reason why everyone liked Zong Zhao. She had never seen anyone who could combine restraint and arrogance, coldness and attentiveness so well.
Zong Zhao is a truly amazing person.
In order to express himself, Bu Yan took Ruyi and handed her over to Nanny Zhao for punishment. However, when he came back, he saw that the house was empty, except for his wife.
Xu Wan saw him looking around for Zong Zhao and kindly reminded him, "He's out of the house. Come, let's change the big desk first."
Without saying a word: “…”Okay, okay.
Then he will come to see the young marquis next time!
