Chapter 160 - Wife Entrance
The door creaked. Zuo Shaoqing tilted his head as he listened to the familiar footstep. He was secretly relieved. Although he wasn't afraid, he still felt uncomfortable waking up in the middle of the night without that person's hug.
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Zuo Shaoqing, who barely managed to maintain his clarity, became confused once again.
The candlelight before him grew brighter, and the man got up and sat on the bed. He put a hand under the covers and picked him up by the waist and wrapped him in a robe.
“Mm …” Zuo Shaoqing said in an uncomfortable manner. He swung his arm, wanting to stop Zuo Shaoqing's actions.
“Here, have some water first.” Someone called softly in his ear, and then his lips touched something moist and soft. The warm spring slowly flowed into his mouth, and he immediately swallowed, allowing his parched throat to feel a little more comfortable.
“Phew …” After relieving his thirst, Zuo Shaoqing became energetic. He opened his eyes and glared at the man that was hugging him and asked: “What time is it?”
He hadn't forgotten that he had to get up early to greet her on the first day of the wedding, but with his current condition, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
“You haven't had anything to eat all day, so you should eat first and then sleep.” Lu Zheng was wearing a thin coat and holding a white porcelain bowl in his hand. The bowl was emitting a thick fragrance.
Zuo Shaoqing was hungry, but he didn't have the desire to eat. He leaned into Lu Zheng's embrace until the spoon touched his lips.
“I've asked the doctor. For the past few days, you can only eat light liquid food. I had someone add some herbs into the chicken soup, so it's just right for you to drink.”
The warm chicken soup slid into his esophagus and immediately made him feel comfortable. He sat up from Lu Zheng's bosom with his hands up, trying to ignore the pain in his lower body. He glanced at him and said in a dry voice, “Remember to wake me up tomorrow.”
He had a deep feeling that he was now Lu Zheng's wife, not male pet.
Without experiencing it, he would never understand the humiliation of having to clean up one's own body after being used.
“What's wrong? “Is it painful?” Lu Zheng saw his brows were knitted tightly. He injected his inner Qi into his hand and carefully rubbed his waist.
Zuo Shaoqing felt comfortable being served. The anger in his heart gradually subsided and the aching pain in his body was alleviated along with Lu Zheng's massage. His eyelids immediately became heavy.
The next day, Lu Zheng did not wake Zuo Shaoqing up as promised. Instead, he sent someone to inform the madame, and moved the hour of greeting to the afternoon. The madame had already received the news that Lu Zheng would ask for a doctor in the middle of the night.
Just like this, the Lu Family relatives who were originally waiting to see the new wife sat inside the hall for a long time.
“This man's wife doesn't know the rules. How could she fall asleep at this hour on the first day of marriage?” One of the young women complained in a low voice, then rubbed her numb legs.
“Shut up. How can you talk about Wife of Duke Zhen?” Another lady by her side whispered a lesson at her.
It was already an added kindness from the madame that they were related to each other. According to the rumors, the madame had chosen a child for Master Lu, so there were a lot of women and children waiting here today.
Although not every mother would be willing to give away their son, once they thought that their son could inherit everything in the Duke Zhen Manor in the future, no matter how reluctant they were, they could still make the genuine decision.
When they first heard that Duke Zhen was going to marry a man, they also lamented that the incense of Lu Family was about to break. Furthermore, they also wanted to wait a while to convince the madame to give Master Lu a concubine.
At that time, all the families had secretly prepared their daughters. If they could enter the eyes of the madame and give birth to a child and a woman in the future, they would have to rely on their mothers.
He didn't expect that the news he heard later would be passed on. This meant that perhaps Master Lu would never have a woman in his life. They didn't think that Master Lu had a good relationship with his and just thought that Master Lu might not be able to be good to women.
As long as he chose his son, everything in the future would belong to his child.
In the hall, the men and women, large and small, were all getting impatient. Only then did a senior steward come in to inform them and invite them to move to the dining hall for a meal.
“This mama, is Master Duke and Madam up yet?” [Do you even know what time it is? Which family's daughter-in-law would be so lazy?]
“I've made the ladies wait for a long time, the madame said that Young Madame is not well, and that she had to rest more after a tiring day yesterday. Well, Young Madame is in a hurry to pay her respects to her elders.”
The corner of everyone's mouth twitched. What Young Madame meant by her words was that she really respected them this time around.
Although they felt a bit shameful, if even a proper mother-in-law wouldn't interfere, then it would be hard for them, the so-called relatives, to say anything.
When they reached the dining hall, they saw the madame sitting at the head of the table. There were two young men standing in front of her. One was tall and straight while the other was elegant. Wasn't that the man they were looking for, Master Lu?
“You're here? “Quick, take a seat.” The old mistress said goodbye and sent for some tea.
The moment Zuo Shaoqing woke up, he knew he missed an hour. He complained to Lu Zheng for a long time and wanted to get off the bed. God knows if everyone would think that he was rude when this matter got out.
In the end, it was Maid Zhong who came over and told them that the madame wanted them to go over for lunch at noon. Thus, she told Zuo Shaoqing to sleep peacefully until noon before waking up.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the madame with his head lowered and a red face. He felt embarrassed and embarrassed like a newlyweds.
The old mistress' eyes were sharp, so she could tell that he was uncomfortable. She waved her hand and said, “Alright, alright, I know you are all tired. Isn't it just that you slept late? “The old woman is getting impatient. She has gotten up early in the morning to receive you.”
Zuo Shaoqing felt even more ashamed of hearing that, so he said in a well-behaved manner: “You can't refuse our gift, we are being rude.”
Maid Zhong placed a praying mat beside their feet and smiled. “The madame didn't sleep well last night and got up late today. It's a good thing that I and the madame didn't come. Otherwise, the madame wouldn't have been able to sleep.”
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at her gratefully, then kneeled on the prayer mat with Lu Zheng, took the tea cup from the maid, and respectfully raised it above his head, “Mother will drink tea!
