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

Chapter 279: Thinking of Bai Zhaozhao

In fact, in Bai Zhaozhao's opinion, the union between the original owner and Li Rongyue in the previous life was just a matter of mutual benefit, but after all, the appearance of Li Rongyue during that period of time protected the original owner.

The original owner was also sincerely willing to spend her life with him. After all, in the ancient concept, women should naturally depend on men.

Since Li Rongyue married the original owner, she should be responsible for her, right?

It’s a pity that regrets in life are the norm.

"Oh!" Bai Zhaozhao sighed. She could imagine the guilt and expectation in Li Rongyue's heart when she wrote the letter, but she couldn't make any promises after all.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

However, Bai Zhaozhao had not personally experienced the original owner's pain, so she did not dare to forgive her easily, nor was she willing to directly inherit this relationship. She could only persuade Li Rongyue to look forward.

His letter was like timely relief. Even though Bai Zhaozhao didn't know the subsequent plot, she could roughly guess that Cheng Jiayu in the original novel would definitely be powerful in the court!

And this Lu Zimo is a crucial turning point.

His aunt should have disappeared in the original novel, and it is unknown whether she had any relationship with Madam Lu, but at least he firmly believed that this was the truth.

However, what really made him collapse was that he was unable to seek justice for his aunt, because his aunt was a concubine after all, and her life and death were in the hands of the wife.

Prefect Lu would not stand on his side either. After all, even his position as prefect was closely related to the Zhong family.

So Lu Zimo turned to Cheng Jiayu and took revenge on the Zhong family. He wanted his father to be without this backer!

So what now?

Now that Cheng Jiayu is gone, how will the plot of this supporting male character develop?

Bai Zhaozhao couldn't imagine it, but she had to at least try to see if she could save the aunt who would be the future top scholar.

But how to save him?

Could it be that I could use my identity as the county lady to say to Magistrate Lu, "Come, let me see your concubine"?

What Bai Zhaozhao didn't know was that while she was thinking about Lu Zimo, Lu Zimo was also thinking about her.

In the farm outside the city.

Magistrate Lu frowned and looked at his second son, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Lu Zimo continued with a firm face: "It's okay if father doesn't believe his son. I will prove it myself. I just hope father will keep his word!"

Magistrate Lu finally couldn't hold it anymore. He didn't know what had possessed his son that made him suddenly fall in love with Princess Zhaohe.

Who gave him the courage? Was he just daydreaming?

"Ah Mo, your father knows that you are arrogant and look down on ordinary women. This is nothing. Your father has always intended to choose a lady for you after you pass the imperial examination.

Although our Lu family is not a famous family, we have a long tradition of poetry and literature. Even if you have your eyes on a noble lady from the capital, you still have a chance.

But look at what you said? Ever since the news about Princess Zhaohe came a few days ago, you have been trying to find out about the Bai family. Now you even asked me to go and find out! How is this possible? "

Lu Zimo said calmly, "Why not? I'm just testing the waters. I'm not asking you to propose marriage! After all, if you want to propose marriage, you have to wait until I win the first place in the imperial examination!"

Prefect Lu was even more helpless: "Win the first place in the imperial examination? You said you would win the first place in the imperial examination? What? Are you a roundworm in the emperor's stomach? Even if you are a roundworm, your test paper may not be presented to the emperor!"

Lu Zimo looked at Prefect Lu steadily and said, "Dad, are you saying that I won't be the top scholar at all?"

Magistrate Lu choked. Of course he hoped that his son would pass the exam, but there was always a gap between dreams and reality.

After a pause, Magistrate Lu said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the number one scholar first, let's talk about Princess Zhaohe! She is not someone our family can even dream of!"

"Why? Dad, according to my inquiries, her brother Bai Lin's family background was not as good as mine before he became the top scholar!

The Bai family did not have the scale it has today. Bai Shikang was only a sixth-rank official, and Bai Shiwen was just an eighth-rank minor official in Hexi County.

It’s different now. The Bai family has come to Beijing and opened a workshop. There is a top scholar and a county lady. Why can Bai Lin do it but I can’t?

When I become the top scholar, won’t our Lu family’s starting point be higher than his?

In the future, you, your second uncle, and your third uncle will all have the opportunity to serve as officials in the capital. By then, will I still be unworthy of a county lady?"

Magistrate Lu was shocked. It turned out that this was what his son was thinking!

He drank a sip of tea silently and said patiently: "This is different! Son, not every top scholar has the comments of Zen Master Guiyuan, and not every top scholar has a good sister!

Princess Zhaohe was already the adopted daughter of Prince An before Bai Lin took the provincial examination, but the recognition banquet happened to be held at the time of the imperial examination, so she was not adopted as Prince An because of Bai Lin's talent!

As for the rise of the Bai family you mentioned, it really has little to do with Bai Lin. His status as the top scholar is at most icing on the cake!

The main reason was that the medicine produced by Bai's workshop was extremely effective and affordable, so his reputation and wealth accumulated quickly.

Ah Mo, if you can become the top scholar, our Lu family will naturally prosper. But you have to know that throughout history, among so many top scholars, there has only been one like Bai Lin!

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s talk about the recent past. The last person in office, Ji Yuanda, was also the top scholar, and his family background was better than yours. How is he now? Isn’t he still working for Bai Lin? "

Governor Lu spoke earnestly for a long time, but when he saw that Lu Zimo had no reaction, he couldn't help but get angry:

"Can't you be more realistic? Let's not talk about the futility of trying to find out. Even if it succeeds, Bai Shiwen is only the second uncle of Princess Zhaohe. What can he do?

Even if you win the first place in the imperial examination, so what? Will Bai Lin agree? Will Prince An agree? Why would they agree to you?

You said you can prove your strength? Well, even if you are extremely powerful, you can kill people in the court, even if you are more powerful than Bai Lin!

Do you need time to prove it? It took Bai Lin more than two years to achieve his current achievements. In addition to his own strength, there is also the halo given by Master Guiyuan and the appearance of the goddess!

What about you? You don’t have these halos, so do you need to spend twice as much time to prove yourself? At least four or five years!

What about Princess Showa? Will she wait until she is in her twenties in four or five years? Even if she does, is she waiting for you? Why would she wait for you?

What do you mean to her? Is it bad luck for her? "

Lu Zimo didn't say anything. He knew that what his father said was right. He even thought so in the past, but it was different now.

He is not the kind of person who retreats when faced with difficulties. On the contrary, he likes to face challenges head-on!

Princess Showa is certainly not an ordinary woman. How could an ordinary woman be worthy of him?

From the first moment he saw Princess Showa that day, he fell in love with her. With that bright face and that strong aura, he knew that this was the person he wanted!

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Since his father would not believe anything he said, he might as well keep quiet. It didn't matter, he would fight for what he wanted!

But Magistrate Lu thought he had convinced this stubborn son, and felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he lowered his voice and said, "Ah Mo, your father's words are binding. Since you have found such a big Ganoderma lucidum, you can make a request!"

Lu Zimo's eyes immediately looked over again, and Prefect Lu hurriedly continued: "But this request to test the waters is not acceptable, it's meaningless! How about this, you propose another one, and I will definitely do what I can do!"

Lu Zimo lowered his eyes, stood up and poured another cup of tea for Lu Zhifu: "Okay, Dad, then help me investigate the Bai's workshop!"
