Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 122 The real gold that was cannon fodder 12

Zuo Lingruo accompanied Old Madam Zuo to the courtyard.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the old lady say, "Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you. Your mother is confused. My son is also a careless person, and Cangming is young and energetic."

Zuo Lingruo didn't say anything, but just poured the old lady a cup of tea. The tea was light and suitable for the elderly.

"I know you resent them in your heart, but grandma hopes that Ruoer will still pretend to be good when she is out there. After all, reputation is important."

Zuo Lingruo shook her head, "Grandma, I don't care about this." The original owner just asked her to take good care of the others. As for the other people in the Zuo family, Zuo Lingruo didn't want to give them face.

"Ruo'er." The old lady ordered the maid beside her to bring all the shops and land deeds over. "This is what I have saved over the years. I will ask the steward to put these things in your name later."

The old lady knew that her son and daughter-in-law were very jealous of her. If she didn't treat Lingruo well, no one in the family would love Lingruo anymore.

The old lady never liked Zuo Xuanhe very much and had been indifferent to her for so many years until their life stories were revealed. Only then did she realize that Zuo Xuanhe was not her granddaughter.

When she saw Zuo Lingruo for the first time, she learned about what she had been going through over the years and felt even more distressed for her.

“Grandma, this is too expensive.” Old Madam Zuo was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, so you could imagine how valuable the things she had saved were.

"I'll give it to you, just take it, good boy." The old lady looked at Zuo Lingruo lovingly.

The nanny who had taken care of the old lady for many years secretly felt that Zuo Lingruo was very much favored by the old lady. After all, the old lady would not give these things to the lady and the young masters and young ladies when they wanted them, but now almost all of them were given to Zuo Lingruo.

"Then I will find you a man who is easy to control. He doesn't need to hold a high position. He can be a young talent working under your father. I don't think he will dare to treat us Ruo'er badly."

Zuo Lingruo also felt the old lady's deep love for her granddaughter.

After all, the original owner had lived in the countryside for so many years. If she married into a wealthy family, she would probably have a hard time, and she would not be able to rely on the power of the Shangshu Mansion to suppress the other side.

But if it is a young talent who needs to rely on the Shangshu, then it is different. At least as long as he stays in the Shangshu Mansion for one day, that person will not dare to disrespect Zuo Lingruo.

It’s a pity that the old lady’s thoughts were ultimately in vain.

If Zuo Xuanhe had not insisted on giving Zhao Yusong to the original owner, she would not have had such a tragic ending.

"Ruo'er doesn't want to marry those young talents. I just want to stay with my grandmother and take good care of her."

"Good boy..."

The two people are very affectionate.

In the hall, Madam Zuo had not yet recovered from the shock, but she heard a servant come to report that Madam Zhao from the General's Mansion wanted to see her.

Mrs. Zuo quickly invited the person in.

Next to the rockery in the courtyard, two men were strolling and chatting.

One of them is Zuo Cangming and the other is Zhao Yusong.

"Brother Cang Ming, I heard that you have recognized a younger sister?" Zhao Yusong raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm." Zuo Cangming hummed, obviously not wanting to mention this matter.

"How come there is suddenly a younger sister? I don't know what she looks like, but she is definitely not as pretty as Xuan He." The tassels on his waist swayed with his steps.

"Of course. I don't have such an ugly sister, so naturally I like Xuanhe more." Zuo Cangming's face softened a little when he thought of Zuo Xuanhe.

At this time, a maid suddenly came to Zuo Cangming's side. He recognized this maid. She was clearly someone from his mother's side.

The maid's eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Yusong.

He quickly bowed to the two of them and said, "Mr. Zhao, our lady is looking for you."

Zhao Yusong frowned slightly, "Did you say what it was?"

"This... is said to be your marriage to Miss Xuan He, otherwise it will not count..." the maid replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zhao Yusong hurriedly asking her to lead the way and hurry over.

He nodded slightly to Zuo Cangming and took his leave. Zuo Cangming also knew the importance of the matter, so he asked him to go quickly.

In the lobby.

As soon as Madam Zhao came in, she asked angrily, "I heard that Zuo Xuanhe is not your biological daughter?"

Zuo Xuanhe's face turned pale. She hadn't expected that what happened at the flower-viewing banquet would spread so quickly.

Madam Zuo suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and quickly protected Zuo Xuanhe, "It doesn't matter if we are not related by blood. Xuanhe is still the young lady of our Shangshu Mansion."

Madam Zhao looked at Madam Zuo as if she was a fool. Is Madam Zuo really stupid? She knows that the child is not her biological child, but she still protects Zuo Xuanhe so much?

It would be fine if it was an accident, but as far as she knew, this was done intentionally by Zuo Xuanhe's mother, who had abused Zuo Lingruo for more than ten years. If it were her, she would definitely hate the peasant woman to death and would also vent her anger on her daughter.

"How can it be unrelated? Don't forget that our arranged marriage specifically states that the girl must be from the Shangshu Mansion. You are not going to use this fake one to fool our General's Mansion, are you?" Mrs. Zhao glanced at Zuo Xuanhe with disgust.

The latter was staggering, with no blood on his face.

"Either cancel the engagement or find someone else." Mrs. Zhao took a sip of Longjing tea.

Madam Zuo was so angry that she was speechless. It was impossible to cancel the engagement. This marriage would benefit both families. Minister Zuo would not let her cancel the engagement.

She just wanted to persuade Madam Zhao to keep the marriage, so she gave a look and the maid beside her quickly went down quietly.

The atmosphere was in a stalemate when a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Mom, I don't agree. I only want Xuan He."

Zhao Yusong came in, and as soon as he came in, he walked straight to Zuo Xuanhe, stood in front of her, and glared at Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was infuriated by her son's actions, "You rebellious son!"

Zuo Xuanhe's eyes were filled with tears at this moment, and she spoke softly, "Give this marriage to my sister, I don't want it."

"Madam, mother, I know that I am not the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and I should not expect too much, so I will return it to my sister as compensation for the suffering she has endured over the years."

Zuo Xuanhe was still hesitant at first, but after seeing Zhao Yusong's actions, he felt relieved.

She knew that Yusong loved her and would definitely find a way to stop this marriage, so she dared to give it up so boldly that she could still keep a good reputation. As for whether her sister could withstand Yusong's anger, that was not something she should consider. Anyway, with Yusong's deep affection for her, he would definitely be hers in the end.

"Haha, you are quite sensible." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

The matter was thus settled.

What surprised Zuo Xuanhe was that Mrs. Zuo did not come out to stop her after she agreed.
