Chapter 14 Lover
There wasn’t many maids in Zhao Zimu’s yard. Before Ling Er left, only Ling Er could serve close to Zhao Zimu. After Ling Er left, she didn’t want anyone. All of those maids had been sent to work in the outer yard. She didn’t have many old maids. So, these people couldn’t get into her room. She didn’t like it.
Lin Qing treated her well. What he should give, he gave her without one missing. Many of those things were extra. She didn’t even touch them. To her, whether she had or didn’t had these things were the same. Speaking about it, at that time, Lin Qing already treated her very well. She didn’t care then and only began to think about this when she was about to die. However, before she could think it through, she had already died.
Unlike the other beauties, she didn’t use beauty or talent to charm and get favor from Lin Qing. She also wasn’t like the other beauties who would peel juicy grapes for Lin Qing and brought them to his mouth when he was lying on the chair with one leg over the other leg. At the same time, they would paste their soft chest on Lin Qing to tempt him.
She would only stand behind Lin Qing, massage his shoulders for him and brush his hair behind his ears when they were about to fall on his face. She would also fill his teacup with water and pay attention to the temperature of the water so as not to let it get cold.
She couldn’t understand why even if it was such a her, Lin Qing didn’t abandon her in the most dangerous moment and even paid with his life for her. Could it be that this kind of person was his cup of tea?
Zhao Zimu was lost in her thoughts. At this time, Ling Er opened her mouth, “Miss is still young. There are still many days to come. Although, the life in Qiansui’s residence is very good, but after all Qiansui is different from ordinary people and couldn’t live with miss like ordinary people. Isn’t a woman’s biggest wish to marry a good person and then assist the husband, educate the children and be jam-packed with descendants? If miss stays here, miss wouldn’t have such an opportunity. Moreover, Qiansui is older than miss and would definitely leave (passes away) before miss. What about miss at that time? Also, many people dislike Qiansui. This servant is afraid that miss will be implicated.”
Ling Er, this girl, was very loyal and clever. She didn’t think about herself but usually put her (ZZ) affairs in the first place and thought about them clearly. In the past life, Ling Er had also said this to her. How did she respond in the past life? Oh, she said, life and death are the mandate of heaven and that there was no need to haggle over it.
Zhao Zimu took a small bowl. filled it with the remaining congee and said warmly, “Eat. Presumably, Ling Er also didn’t eat much in the morning. Eat a bit more, otherwise you won’t grow tall. When a young master takes a fancy on you, it wouldn’t be good if you are still a small bean sprout.” Zhao Zimu teased her.
“Miss! I am being serious!” Ling Er couldn’t help but get annoyed. Could miss be a bit more serious? This is very important!
“Ling Er, I ask you.” Zhao Zimu put down her chopsticks and picked up the warm tea. The steam of tea moistened her eyebrows and the mist was faintly discernible.
Ling Er sat upright and still and said seriously, “Yes?” She realized that miss must’ve something important to say. She unconsciously got nervous.
“Who do you think Lord Qiansui is to me?” Zhao Zimu asked.
Ling Er was entangled. Who was he to her? If she told the truth would it be an offense? Moreover, if Lord Qiansui got to know, she might want to wish for death but unable to get it. Ling Er glanced secretly to outside the yard.
Zhao Zimu said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Our small courtyard is very quiet. No one would come here.” Knowing what Ling Er was worried about, Zhao Zimu smiled faintly. There was nothing here that people would scheme about. Moreover, now, Lin Qing didn’t favor her like in the past life. No one would come here.
Ling Er eased down and whispered, “Home owner?”
Zhao Zimu was stunned and then laughed. Lin Qing became her home owner? What is the head of this girl thinking about? At most, she was a small concubine of his house. No, perhaps, she couldn’t even be regarded as a concubine. At least on the surface it was like this.
“Miss, don’t laugh.” Ling Er said solemnly, “I feel that Lord Qiansui treats you quite well. He had never asked for anything. Although, he wasn’t as close to you as with the other beauties, but what he should give you, he had given without leaving anything out. He didn’t beat, scold or punish you. It is much better than when we were at Zhao residence.”
She didn’t say the last sentence. Lord Qiansui and miss were very much like a family, but there were so many things that they differentiated in, making her small head couldn’t tell why it was like that.
Indeed, it was much better than when she was at Zhao residence. When she was at Zhao residence, she seemed to be nonexistent. Speaking like this, Lin Qing really treated her particularly well. Moreover, it was so early on and she didn’t discover that. She actually didn’t discover that even after two lifetimes.
In fact, if one think seriously about it, Lin Qing looked pretty good. Although, he was much older than her, but his eyes were picturesque as if painted with thick ink. On his face was a soft feminine beauty. It was just that always dealing with deception made his face gloomy like a cloud in the winter; cold and overcast with darkness. Moreover, his face always brought a ruthlessness and completely covered his original good-looking face, making people unable to see his handsomeness.
Zhao Zimu’s eyelids moved. Her think lips spit out a few words and Ling Er was dumbstruck.
“I feel that he seemed more like my lover.”
