The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 287 An unexpected turn

Zhong stood there in a daze, her mind in a mess, and she seemed to feel that something was wrong until the maid called her.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Zhong suddenly woke up and found that those students were gone.

"Xiaoxue, did you hear what those students said just now?"

Xiaoxue replied: "I heard it, Madam, they are discussing the eldest and second young masters."

"That's right!" Mrs. Zhong said excitedly, "They said Lu Zimo and Wen'er look a lot like each other! They're like real brothers!"

Xiaoxue immediately comforted her, "Madam, don't believe it. They must be talking nonsense!"

Mrs. Zhong looked at Xiaoxue seriously and said, "I remember that I sent you to the farm a few days ago to deliver something to the second young master. Answer me honestly, do you think the second young master looks alike to the eldest young master?"

Xiaoxue was startled and quickly knelt down: "Madam, calm down. The second young master and the eldest young master are both the master's children. It's normal for them to look alike! Those students were just joking. Madam, don't take it seriously."

"So you think they look alike, too?" Mrs. Zhong's voice trembled slightly. "Get up, pack your things, and let's go back home."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhong gradually calmed down, but a bold idea kept lingering in her mind.

Lu Zimo has double eyelids!

Different from Wu!

On the contrary, just like yourself!

If...if he is that child from that year, then Wu is too scary!

Although she thought this idea was ridiculous, she couldn't help but think about it and it took root and made her completely crazy!

Throughout the process of returning home, she tried hard to recall everything about Lu Zimo, but unfortunately, she had very few memories in her mind.

I used to think that Wu was the one who taught him to stay away from her, but now it seems that this might also be an attempt to better conceal the truth!

No, she must investigate this matter thoroughly!

There was some turmoil after Mrs. Lu returned home.

Bai Zhaozhao's guess was correct. A few days later, she received an invitation from Mrs. Lu, saying that there were many rare flowers and plants that she wanted Bai Zhaozhao to appreciate.

Bai Zhaozhao went straight to the appointment, and Mrs. Lu was waiting for him at the door.

The moment he got off the carriage, Bai Zhaozhao was almost certain that Lu Zimo was Mrs. Lu’s biological son!

They both have double eyelids and long eyelashes, it's simply a one-to-one copy and paste!

In addition, Mrs. Lu has soft facial features and skin as white as jade, exuding a noble temperament.

Mrs. Lu warmly invited Bai Zhaozhao into the flower hall. She first greeted the elders of the Bai family and then chatted about the acquaintances of the Zhong family in the capital.

Bai Zhaozhao was also very considerate and responded to every word.

After a while, the two of them were talking happily, and Mrs. Lu finally waved her hand and sent the servants away.

Bai Zhaozhao was slightly excited. Here it comes, the scene of verification is here!

"County Lady, I heard that you went to my farm to enjoy the scenery a few days ago. I wonder if my Second Young Master has failed to entertain you well enough?"

Enjoy the view? Yeah, good excuse.

Bai Zhaozhao didn't want to waste time and said directly: "Lu Zimo is very polite, but I know a little about the art of medicine, and I was itching to show my skills, so I went to check on his aunt."

"Oh? How about it?"

"No, it's a terminal disease. I can't cure it."

Zhong's expression was complicated, it was indeed so!

She said with a look of pity: “Ms. Wu has always been conscientious in her duties and has never caused me any trouble over the years, but who knew that she would get such a disease.

There is no need to be discouraged if the county lady cannot cure the disease. Just think that everyone has their own destiny!

But luckily she has a son, I hope she can at least hold off for another two years and see her son go to high school next year, otherwise, Zimo will have to mourn for her."

Observe mourning?

Bai Zhaozhao was stunned. Yes, how could she forget that if a concubine died, the children also had to observe mourning!

If one observes mourning, one naturally cannot take part in the imperial examination. So how did Lu Zimo do it in the original novel?

Bai Zhaozhao asked tentatively, "Madam, if Lu Zimo's aunt is unlucky... then wouldn't Lu Zimo have to wait another three years to take the imperial examination?"

Madam Lu's eyes flashed with an ambiguous expression, and she nodded and said, "Originally, it was not necessary. I bought Wu as a maid back then, and before she could be promoted to a concubine, I became pregnant, so the matter was shelved.

Later... Lu Zimo was already five years old when he appeared in front of me. In order to give him a good identity in his studies, my old lady registered him under the name of a deceased relative.

But things are different now. My master said that he has a high chance of passing the imperial examination, and he wants to change his name back to his own, so Wu's concubine documents must also be completed. "

At this point, Madam Lu paused. She observed Bai Zhaozhao's expression and saw nothing. She continued, "I agreed to this two days ago."

Bai Zhaozhao seemed to be thinking, that is, she did not agree in the original book? So Lu Zimo took the imperial examination as the son of the Lu family.

But now it’s different. She agreed, and Mrs. Wu has a legitimate status. If she unfortunately dies, Lu Zimo will need to observe mourning for three years.

Something seems wrong!

Since Mrs. Lu already knew that information, why did she want to kill Lu Zimo under the name of Wu?

And Prefect Lu, is he stupid? How could he want his son to miss the imperial examination because of mourning?

Are you so sure that Wu won't die within two years?

Even if he dies again two years later, don't we still have to observe mourning?

The most important thing is that the plot direction has not changed!

Bai Zhaozhao looked at Mrs. Lu suspiciously. She strongly suspected that she was lying.

That’s right, Madam Lu lied. Prefect Lu did not make this suggestion. Instead, he wanted Lu Zimo to be adopted by Madam Lu as an orphan of the clan!

Mrs. Lu said this today obviously to test Bai Zhaozhao.

But Bai Zhaozhao didn't understand at the moment. What was there to test? Besides, it seemed that Mrs. Lu had never confirmed the hereditary matter with her!

Could it be that Chunyu was incompetent and did not tell Mrs. Lu what Bai Zhaozhao had already seen?

Therefore, Bai Zhaozhao decided to directly point it out: "Madam Lu, what you mean is that if Lu Zimo cannot take part in the imperial examination due to mourning, it is his fate, and he can only be a concubine's son in this life, and can never be a legitimate son?"

Mrs. Zhong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Bai Zhaozhao to be so direct. Could it be that what Nanny Hong said was right?

No matter what, she couldn’t afford to offend Bai Zhaozhao, but she couldn’t give in easily either.

"What are you talking about? Wu has been devoted to Zimo, how can I snatch her child? It is only right for him to observe mourning for Wu.

Of course, if he is willing to just be an orphan of the Lu family, I have no objection.

But you, the county lady, please don't be fooled by others' words. Many things cannot be explained without evidence, don't you think?"

Bai Zhaozhao:!!!

No evidence? What does it mean?

So after Mrs. Lu learned the information, she investigated it all, but finally chose not to believe it?

Holy shit, what a powerful plot protection this is!

What an unexpected turn!

Is it possible that revealing the truth is not an option?

Okay, okay, this time the plot has really been prepared!
