C47 There will Always be a Time When You Cry

Returning to the side room of the temple, Zuo Shaoqing pushed open the door and walked into his own room. The moment his right foot stepped inside, he was shocked by the figure in the darkness.

"Who?"

Half of the figure was reflected in the moonlight through the door. Zuo Shaoqing only saw it clearly when the oil lamp in the room was ignited. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Zuo Shaoyan's gloomy and unreadable face.

A cup of cold tea was placed in front of Zuo Shaoyan. After sitting in his room for who knows how long, he asked with concern: "Third brother, why did you come back so late?"

Zuo Shaoqing had already recovered from his surprise. He put both of his hands in front of him in a formal manner, lowered his head and answered in an irrelevant manner: "Why is Big Brother in Little Brother's room?"

"Naturally, I'm worried about you when I see that you haven't come back, so I waited here."

Zuo Shaoqing revealed a sincere smile as he walked towards Zuo Shaoyan, "Thank you for your concern, Big Bro. I had an evening class with my teachers before and then went to the back of the mountain. The moonlight tonight is really nice."

"Oh? You went with Master Lu? "

Zuo Shaoqing's heart tightened. What did Zuo Shaoyan see? He tried to answer, "Why..." "I met Master Duke on the way back.

He blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Brother, Master Duke has a cold expression all day, it's too scary. I feel so nervous when I see him."

Although Zuo Shaoyan still had some doubts as this was the second time he saw Zuo Shaoqing and Lu Zheng walk together, but he couldn't believe that his third brother had anything to do with Master Lu.

"Don't spout nonsense! "Master Duke is just a bit more serious."

"Yes!" But little brother is still very afraid of him. " After saying that, Zuo Shaoqing trembled and looked at his big brother with a wronged expression.

Zuo Shaoyan's last trace of doubt was dispelled by Wu Tie's weak attitude. He stood up and said, "Okay, big brother is just worried that you will offend Master Duke. Next time, you can be more polite to him."

Zuo Shaoqing muttered: "I always greet him when I see him."

Zuo Shaoyan patted his brother's shoulder and comforted him before reminding him, "If... Master Lu asked about your family's matters. Remember to be careful and answer his questions. "

"Ah?" "What would Master Duke ask?" Zuo Shaoqing paused for a moment, then nervously held his brother's hand and said with a crying face, "No wonder, just now Master Duke asked how many siblings there are at home."

Zuo Shaoyan's expression changed as he pulled Zuo Shaoqing's wrist and asked, "Did he really ask about that?"

Zuo Shaoqing shrunk his neck, ignoring the pain from his wrist and nodded fiercely. "Big Brother, I told him the truth about our family. He …" What was he trying to do? Did I say something wrong? "

Zuo Shaoyan wasn't in the mood to answer him, so he asked: "What else did he ask?"

Zuo Shaoqing forcefully retracted his hand and answered with his head lowered: "I even asked about the ages of our brothers and sisters."

"What else?"

Zuo Shaoqing pretended to be lost in thought and shook his head after a long while, "No, that's all." Seeing that Zuo Shaoyan was a bit disappointed, he exclaimed, "Ah! I remember! Master Duke said that to himself."

"What?"

Zuo Shaoqing patted his head, "I didn't hear it clearly either. I only heard a few words, saying that they are 'suitable for your age', 'keep looking' or something like that."

Zuo Shaoyan's eyes shone brightly, and after he mulled over the words, he stared at Zuo Shaoqing. "Shao Qing, from now on, don't ever mention Big Brother Cao and your older sister's marriage again, or say anything to anyone, or be too close to you when you're Big Brother Cao."

"Why is that?" Zuo Shaoqing was confused.

"No reason. After all, your big sister hasn't married him. It's not good to hear about it when word spreads. Also, with the relationship between the two families, you, Big Brother Cao, can't stay at home for long."

Zuo Shaoqing nodded as if he understood something, "I understand. The groom can't meet the bride before he gets married. I'll call him brother-in-law after they get married."

Zuo Shaoyan's mouth twitched, and said in a childish tone: "Alright, it's good that you know it, go to sleep early."

"I'll send my big brother out, and he'll go to bed early as well." Zuo Shaoqing obediently sent the person out of the room, closed the door, locked it, and slowly raised the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.

Laugh, laugh, you will always cry in the future!

Poor Big Brother Cao, I am truly sorry. My Zuo's Mansion should be up in a few days time to discuss about the annulment of the marriage, what a pity, I won't be able to become an in-laws for the rest of my life.

In Cao Zongguan's previous life, Zuo Shuyu had been added into the mix. Zuo Shaoqing had originally planned to hook up with Zuo Shuyu and Lu Zheng, but now … He felt that Cao Zongguan should find a woman with a higher status as his wife instead of carelessly stuffing him with a merchant's daughter to be his wife.

As for his elder cousin, he would find a good marriage for her. Lu Zheng, he won't give it up to anyone!

Zuo Shaoqing's heart tightened. What did Zuo Shaoyan see? He tried to answer, "Why..." "I just met Master Duke on the way back.

I'm going to break my senses."
