Chapter 27 Borrow someone
The next few days, Zhao Zimu found out that she was surrounded by people. These people were looming everywhere. Although, ordinary people wouldn’t discover them, but Zhao Zimu knew that there were probably hundred people around her tiny courtyard. Moreover, they were all highly skilled martial artists.
She felt helpless. Wasn’t it just that she wanted to go out?
Moreover, the way Ling Er kept staring at her these few days made her crazy. It was always the expression of wanting to say something but hesitated. Although, Ling Er didn’t ask anything, but she knew that Ling Er was very worried about her.
She didn’t want Ling Er to get involved in her affairs with Lin Qing. Lin Qing wasn’t a simple person. Being connected to him may be a blessing or a curse, but she only wished that Ling Er could live simply and far away from these affairs and that she could live peacefully and happily.
Zhao Zimu still avoided the countless of guards guarding her courtyard and took advantage of the silence of the night to leave Qiansui’s residence without a trace and headed to Fengya Pavilion.
Aunt Qing wasn’t surprised at seeing her. She had expected it and said, “Last time, you left in a hurry. I knew that you would come back soon. However, what prompted you this time to come in from the window? Aunt Qing wouldn’t let you pick the flowers here.”
Aunt Qing smiled as she said that.
Zhao Zimu had never been able to see what age aunt Qing was. Since she was her mother’s senior sister, then she was certainly not young. However, the years didn’t seem to have left any trace on her. She was still beautiful and charming.
At this moment, she was standing in her room. The veil on her face had been taken off. The lavender and peony patterned dress mopped the floor and lined her curvaceous body. She looked noble and elegant. On the gentle and beautiful oval-shaped face was a joyous smile. The beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with the tenderness of the years. If such a beauty walked out without a veil, the imperial city would have another stunning beauty.
Zhao Zimu was a bit embarrassed, but she still stood on the window frame and didn’t intend to come down. She said, “Aunt Qing, let me borrow Xue Yi. I have an urgency for her to do.”
“You, are you in such a hurry? Looking at the way you are dressed, are you leaving now?” Aunt Qing asked.
Zhao Zimu was dressed in a neat white male’s clothing with the hair tied up high. She make-upped her face to become more masculine. From one glance, one would know that she was about to go out.
Zhao Zimu could be considered half a person of the Jianghu. As for to what extend this half reached, aunt Qing also didn’t know.
Zhao Zimu often went out to practice while at Zhao residence. In order to not let people discover, she let someone put a skin mask on and stay at Zhao residence to fool people.
In some wuxia novels, the skin mask is made from human skin and it would have the appearance of the one they took the skin from. Here, it isn’t specified whether it is from real human skin, but since ZZ is still alive, then I guess I may be fake skin.Therefore, every time Zhao Zimu went out, she would come to look for her. She wanted to give the person to Zhao Zimu but she refused. Now, Zhao Zimu came again to ask and she (ZZ) didn’t think that it was troublesome. Aunt Qing looked with blame at her and asked, “When do you need her? For how long?”
Zhao Zimu said, “Now. Let Xue Yi sneak into Qiansui’s residence. If anything happens, don’t go bother with it. It will be fine to just let her stay quietly in Fragrant Yard.” As Zhao Zimu spoke, she seemed to hesitate and wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Aunt Qing walked to her and reached out her long fingertip. She pushed Zhao Zimu’s forehead with that fingertip a bit and said, “I don’t care about what you want to do. I will only say this. You are not allowed to get hurt. You should put your safety above everything else.”
Zhao Zimu was considered half a child of aunt Qing. How could aunt Qing not be worried about her? However, this girl always does things that made her (Q) worried and also foolishly let herself be send to Qiansui’s residence.
When she first found out, she was so furious that she wanted to sneak into Zhao residence and wipe out that heartless father of Zhao Zimu. Was there someone who would treat their daughter like this? He is truly worse than a beast!
Zhao Zimu was someone she considered dear to her. How could she bear to watch Zhao Zimu being bullied like this?!
She didn’t know how this girl was raised. She (ZZ) was like someone without emotions nor desires. Even when she was being treated as a gift, she still didn’t care! It was also really weird. She was actually able to stay peacefully and safely at Qiansui’s residence for three years. Could it be that Qiansui’s backyard was peaceful and secure?
And let this girl not want to leave it once she lived there?
She doesn’t believe it.
Therefore, when Zhao Zimu first entered Qiansui’s residence, aunt Qing thought that it would be fine. After all, Jiu Qiansui was a eunuch. When Zhao Zimu got tired, she (Q) would look for a chance and get Zhao Zimu out of the residence. Then, she would find a handsome, confident and free man and marry her off. By then, she would be able to get grandchildren and it would also not let this girl wander aimlessly. However, this wait lasted for three years. Aunt Qing was beginning to wonder whether Zhao Zimu had fallen in love with Qiansui’s residence. Otherwise, why would she stay for so long?
It had been a long time since Zhao Zimu had borrowed someone from her. Could some change had happened now? Would there be a chance to let her leave Qiansui’s residence? Aunt Qing thought without taking her eyes of Zhao Zimu. She stared at Zhao Zimu while her thoughts turned quickly.
Zhao Zimu was flustered when she saw aunt Qing’s gaze. She still remembered that it was the exact same gaze every time aunt Qing introduced someone good to her. She had seen this gaze for too many times. It had been a long time since she had seen it, so, she got flustered.
Zhao Zimu hurriedly said, “Then, it’s settled. Aunt Qing, I still have something to do. I will leave first. Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.” After having said that, she impatiently disappeared from the window.
Aunt Qing, “…” This girl, am I so scary?
