Chapter 29 My name is Situ Ningan
Ningan’s clothes had been torn. Zhao Zimu was a bit at loss about what to do. She was only wearing a close-fitting robe and the clothes on the three brawny men were a bit unsuitable for women.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zimu seemed to say faintly with a bit worry, “Where is your home? I will take you back.”
A voice of concern sounded at her ears. Ningan finally recovered from the fear and grievance. She looked at Zhao Zimu with tears in her eyes, but suddenly she realized that she seemed to be shamelessly clinging onto a man with disheveled clothes. She screamed once and hugged her maid while she shivered.
Zhao Zimu, “…” Did she became a fool because of being scared? However, Zhao Zimu soon realized. Now, she was a man after all. That Ningan would have such a reaction was also normal.
“Where is your home? I will take you back,” Zhao Zimu asked once again. Except for the things that she was interested in, she had no patience for other things. If Ningan continues to sob, choke and drag on like this, she wouldn’t mind disappearing immediately.
Zhao Zimu didn’t hear an answer. She turned and was about to leave, but she was grabbed by someone.
Ningan looked at her with tears shining in her eyes. A girl’s weakness and pitiful state were written on her face. She said with trembling lips, “Don’t leave.”
The voice was full of pleading.
The tattered clothes made Ningan’s body uncovered. The snow-white and tender skin was exposed under the moonlight. The skirt on her lower body had been torn and faintly revealed the trembling spring scenery inside.
It wasn’t that Ningan didn’t want to go home. It was that she couldn’t go back like this. If she went back like this, people would say that her morality and conduct was not right and that she was not chaste. That would be the disgrace of the imperial family and perhaps also the disgrace of whole Great Liang.
“Do you have somewhere else you can go?” Zhao Zimu asked indifferently. This was also pointing it out for Ningan.
As a woman, she naturally knew that when a woman encountered such a thing, the first reaction would be to keep it a secret and definitely must not let the family know not to mention princesses like Ningan. However, didn’t she have many big brothers? Also, they all had their own residences outside the palace. She only had to pick one that she trusted and that would keep it a secret for her.
After going back, she could deal with a few small gangsters however she wanted. Ningan didn’t seem to be a fool.
However, Zhao Zimu couldn’t remind her directly. If she reminded, then it would reveal that she knew about Ningan’s identity. She still didn’t want her to know yet.
Sure enough, Ningan whispered, “Can you bring me to fifth prince’s residence?”
The one Ningan first thought about was her eldest big brother, but her eldest big brother had a majestic aura around him that made her afraid. So, she chose Situ Yuanxiao. Although, her fifth big brother was reckless, but he loved her and wouldn’t spread her affairs.
However, thinking about her current embarrassment, she involuntarily squeezed the clothes on her body, trying to cover the exposed places. Her face slowly became red. Did he see?
There was a sudden tremor in Ningan’s heart. There was also a strange shyness that made her feel flustered. Moreover, how could she go back wearing these clothes?
The clothes of her maid Wei Er were also torn. However, this was male clothing. It didn’t matter if Wei Er go back wearing them. After she wore them back, she could find an opportunity to change. However, she (N) couldn’t. She couldn’t expose herself like this in front of people.
Ningan looked up nervously. She saw that the gaze on her body of the person in front of her didn’t have any trace of profanity. It was quiet as the silver moonlight. Her heart suddenly quickened for no reason.
Zhao Zimu said quietly, “I will take you back.”
As she spoke, she stepped forward and lifted Ningan up under Ningan’s startled gaze. Ningan’s face was hidden in her arms and she said to Ningan, “Don’t move. It’s not convenient.”
“Princess!” Wei Er cried, looked panicked at Zhao Zimu and rushed forward.
Ningan also panicked a bit. She didn’t hear her maid scream. She only thought, doesn’t he know that men and women should never have contact with each other? Or is it that he wanted to take advantage of her? No, no, he isn’t that kind of person.
“Let your maid go back first. Her clothes are considered to be a man’s, it was not to the point that she couldn’t show herself in front of people. Also, I don’t have any intention of doing something to you,” Zhao Zimu’s faint voice floated on top of Ningan’s head into her ears. Ningan was immediately embarrassed.
After Ningan let the worried Wei Er leave first, Zhao Zimu jumped into the sky with a tiptoe. Ningan was startled and hugged Zhao Zimu’s neck tightly. She found out that Zhao Zimu’s neck was very slender and beautiful. Ningan hugged a bit tighter.
“Which direction?” Above her head came Zhao Zimu’s voice again. It was warm and cold. Ningan suddenly thought of a sentence…spring breeze in thin snow.
“Mm?” Zhao Zimu gestured again. The low voice made Ningan tense suddenly. She tightened her hold on the neck and stuttered, “South, southeast, five li, tenth street.”
Zhao Zimu went into that direction without stopping. The night wind blew a few strands of her hair and scattered it in the air like running water.
Ningan suddenly became a bit enchanted. Under that person’s cold face, she grabbed a strand of her hair and carefully held it in her palms. Ningan suddenly said in a small voice, “My name is Situ Ningan…”
