Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role
Chapter 123 The real gold that was cannon fodder 13
Mrs. Zuo remembered what Zuo Lingruo said to her that day, saying that she was not worthy of being a mother.
It was strange that the original owner had always been trying to please her and longed for her motherly love, but she trampled on the original owner's sincerity and chose Zuo Xuanhe. But now, Zuo Lingruo didn't try to please her or call her mother, but she felt a little compassion and compensation, and actually thought that what Xuanhe said was somewhat right.
If Zuo Ling knew what she was thinking, she would definitely think she was despicable.
It was a hot summer day. In the shade of the garden in the Zuo Mansion, the sparse sunlight shone through the leaves onto the man's body. Zuo Xuanhe saw Zhao Yusong with an angry look on his face.
"Yusong." Zuo Xuanhe bit his lip.
Zhao Yusong stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, with a look of disbelief, "Xuan He, are you just going to give up our engagement and our relationship of so many years?"
"What can I do? I am not the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. I am walking on thin ice in this mansion. The servants look down on me. Now that the young ladies of all families know my identity, I can only return the engagement to my sister and make myself feel better."
Zuo Xuanhe was crying. What she said was half true and half false. The claim of walking on thin ice was false. Madam Zuo loved her so much that she had punished a group of servants for her. However, it was better to stop than to stop. The gossips only increased. She returned the engagement mainly to wash away her now somewhat tarnished reputation.
Seeing her crying, Zhao Yusong hugged her distressedly and said, "I won't marry her. You are the only wife in my heart."
Suddenly, he thought of a good idea, to make Zuo Lingruo disgraced. From then on, the Zuo family would have only one daughter. Compared with the disgraced and innocence-lost Zuo Lingruo, Xuan He's reputation would then improve.
But now, he planned to teach Zuo Lingruo a lesson. Who asked her to bully his beloved woman?
At this moment, Zuo Lingruo was with the old lady, listening to her telling interesting stories about her youth.
Old Madam Zuo was indeed an experienced person. As a woman, and an only daughter at that, she managed to turn her shaky business into a huge one. She also had the foresight to let the late Old Man Zuo marry into her family and gave birth to a promising son.
Just as he was listening intently, a servant outside suddenly came to report that the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion was coming and invited Zuo Lingruo to buy some jewelry and taste the delicious food of Yipintang.
Old Madam Zuo quickly asked Zuo Lingruo to follow the Prime Minister's daughter out. In her heart, she had to let her granddaughter interact with more people so that when she was gone, there would be someone to help take care of her.
The street was crowded with people. The Prime Minister's daughter bought Zuo Lingruo several sets of expensive jewelry, and then took her to Yipin Pavilion to taste delicious food.
The steaming green grape white tea was served, along with lotus cakes, jujube flower cakes, and osmanthus honey cakes.
Zuo Lingruo and the Prime Minister's daughter were tasting cakes in the pavilion, and someone was drinking tea at the next table.
Because her body was cleansed by spiritual power, her hearing was very good and she could hear what the people at the next table were saying.
"Have you heard? The Second Prince is returning to the capital."
"What? Wasn't he banished from the capital by the emperor and banished to a remote place?"
"Yes, but now the Second Prince is doing well in his fiefdom, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. Also, because Prince Jing is the most powerful person in the capital, the Emperor asked him to come to the capital to suppress Prince Jing."
"Oh, you don't want Prince Jing's family to dominate the world, right? Also, how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed?"
"But then again, why was the Second Prince demoted at that time?"
"Hush." The man looked around and made sure no one was listening, then said in a low voice, "It is said that because the mother's family was too powerful and because Prince Jing's mother was favored, they used some means to make the second prince's mother fall out of favor. The mother's family was also found an excuse for rebellion and the whole family was executed."
"Hiss...this..."
"Now that the emperor is old, he is thinking about the good things that the second prince's mother's family did when he was young. In addition to suppressing Prince Jing, this is another reason."
After they finished chatting, drank tea, paid the bill, and left.
Zuo Lingruo was thinking that the original owner's memory and plot did not include the second prince returning to Beijing.
However, since it was used by the emperor to suppress Prince Jing, perhaps it could help the second prince ascend to that position.
After all, in the original plot, Prince Jing was not a good guy either.
The General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion represented by Zhao Yusong both support Prince Jing, so Zuo Lingruo does not want to let them get their wish.
In the original plot, Prince Jing was a lustful man. He accidentally learned of Zhao Yusong's plan and decided to help him, and by the way, he could also make the original owner a concubine for fun.
Although the Zuo family supported Prince Jing, they did not dare to openly send their daughter to him as a concubine, so they sent Zuo Lingruo to the temple to end her life.
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden noise on the street. She raised her eyes and looked down, just in time to see a man riding a horse. The man was handsome, his eyes were full of ice and snow, and there was a hint of coldness at the corners of his mouth. Behind him followed a team of guards.
Noticing Zuo Lingruo's gaze, the Prime Minister also looked over and said, "That's the Second Prince who just returned to the capital."
The man on the street glanced at Yipin Pavilion casually and suddenly stopped.
The two people's perspectives met, and Zuo Lingruo smiled at him.
The servant behind noticed that the master had stopped, so he hurried forward to ask, "Master, is there something wrong?"
"Let's go." He shifted his gaze back. It was time to go back and see his "good" father.
It seems that her treasure in this world is the Second Prince, Zuo Lingruo curled her lips.
"Miss, so you are here. Madam is looking for you to go back." Madam Zuo's maid wanted to take Zuo Lingruo back.
The Prime Minister's daughter said goodbye to Zuo Lingruo.
After returning to the Shangshu Mansion, the maid led her to the lady.
"Mrs. Zuo, is there something wrong?" Zuo Lingruo asked coldly.
This softened Madam Zuo's tone, "Lingruo, you've been back in the Shangshu Mansion for so long, and you've never called me mother."
"Doesn't Madam already have a daughter named Zuo Xuanhe?" Zuo Lingruo stated the facts calmly.
"You two are my daughters. I love you both."
"It's impossible for me to live in peace with someone who has occupied so many years of my life. Either she or I."
Madam Zuo was somewhat at a loss for words, “Your sister has already given you her marriage to compensate you.”
This time, Mrs. Zuo did not tell Zuo Lingruo not to think too much.
"Oh." Zuo Lingruo smiled coldly. Zhao Yusong liked Zuo Xuanhe, so if she gave him to her, she might make Zhao hate her.
But it doesn’t matter, Zuo Lingruo has already found a key piece of information from the original owner’s memory.
She curled her lips and chuckled. She wondered if Zuo Xuanhe could bear it if her lover had changed his mind.
