Chapter 70 Someone is seducing someone away (1)
It was a woman. A woman that Lin Qing had put in his heart. A woman for whom his eyes moved with every of her movements, for example, like now.
“Where is madam?” Lin Qing asked the servants of the residence. Usually, when Lin Qing came back, he could always see Zhao Zimu occupy his place and put his old sandalwood chair in a shady place to enjoy the coolness or put it under the sun. However, Lin Qing didn’t see her when he returned to the residence and couldn’t help but wonder.
It was early spring now. It was rare to have sun. She isn’t basking in the sun in the courtyard, what is she doing?
The servants didn’t know. Xiao Lianzi immediately set off to find the housekeeper. However, before he acted, the housekeeper came here by himself when he heard that Lin Qing has returned. He quickly ran over to report to Lin Qing in person, “Madam went out after receiving a letter. She only said that she will go meet an old friend, but she didn’t say where.”
The housekeeper spoke cautiously. This madam’s weight in Lord Qiansui’s heart was getting heavier by the day. Didn’t you hear that Lord Qiansui already called her madam very smoothly?
Hence, the housekeeper had to always pay attention to her whereabouts. Once he heard that Lin Qing had returned to the residence, he quickly hurried over to report Zhao Zimu’s whereabouts.
Lin Qing frowned. As soon as he turned around, he walked in the direction of the inner yard. It was rare for him to handle all affairs so early, but he didn’t see her when he came back. He wanted to see where she went to.
Where did Zhao Zimu go? At this moment, she was very comfortably listening to someone play the zither in a private room of a restaurant.
At a side, Lin Er was holding a plate. She was gnawing on golden sweet-scented Osmanthus cakes while watching the beautiful woman playing the zither and whispered to Zhao Zimu, “Miss, what kind of wind blew beauty Li to here? She had already been given to third prince a long time ago. Why did she suddenly remember about you and want to reminisce about old times with you?”
“Maybe, she missed me?” Zhao Zimu pretended to be seriously thinking about that but in fact it was just half-heartedly responding.
Ling Er, “…” Maybe…
But this was obviously impossible. Li Xianger was a former beauty of Lin Qing’s residence. After a playing a song, she walked leisurely to Zhao Zimu. Her complexion was rosy and a gleaming luster reflected on her eyes.
“It seemed that she lived very comfortably after being sent away,” Zhao Zimu thought silently, but Lord Qiansui had also been served very comfortably by her (ZZ) and there was no need for her (LX) anymore. No, she wasn’t even needed in the past.
The two sat opposite each other. Ling Er hurriedly adjusted her clothes, sat upright at a side and waited to serve Zhao Zimu.
Li Xianger covered her mouth and smiled, “Ling Er is still so lively.”
Zhao Zimu glanced reproachfully at Lin Er and said, “Big sister, don’t take offence. It is my negligence to not teach her well that this girl didn’t learn well.”
Lin Qing listened obediently because she knew that she could be one way in front of miss, but if she didn’t want to bring trouble to miss, she had to be another way when there are outsiders.
Li Xianger said to her, “What do you think your big sister is? Is this big sister someone who would blame others for such a small thing?”
Zhao Zimu smiled, “Right, big sister has a good temper and everyone likes big sister.”
“Don’t talk about these anymore. How is little sister doing recently?” While speaking Li Xianger looked at her with a bit of worry. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern as if she was really worried about Zhao Zimu.
“I’m doing fine,” Zhao Zimu said. In fact, she was doing very well, but could she tell Li Xianger the truth? Surely not. Even if she tells her (LX), she (LX) wouldn’t believe her.
When this beauty Li was at Qiansui’s residence, she was rich of schemes. It could be said that she is someone doesn’t visit a temple without cause. For what reason did she invite her this time?
One doesn’t visit a temple without cause: visit somebody with an ulterior motiveZhao Zimu frowned slightly and said, “There is nothing lacking at Qiansui’s residence. Lord Qiansui also treats me very well. I can have whatever I want, but…ay, let’s not talk about this anymore. How is big sister doing in third prince’s residence? Seeing that big sister’s complexion is so good, big sister is certainly doing well.”
Zhao Zimu seemed to be envious and sorrowful. Li Xianger’s eyes flashed a bright light. Her red lips smiled shyly, “Third prince treats me very well. Although, he can’t show me rain and dew every night, big sister is already very satisfied. Ever since entering Qiansui’s residence, big sister thought that big sister could only spend big sister’s days by frittering away. Big sister didn’t expect to meet third prince, such a good person and can become an ordinary woman. Big sister has no more regrets in this life, but little sister, you…”
Li Xianger looked at her with hesitation. There was a deep pity in her expression as if she pitied Zhao Zimu. Zhao Zimu was dumbfounded. What did she (LX) want to do?
Could it be that she wants to tell her that Lin Qing is not a real man and wanted to tempt her into being the red apricot tree that leans over the garden wall?
The red apricot tree that leans over the garden wall: having an illicit lover.
Soon, Zhao Zimu’s guess was confirmed. Li Xianger didn’t chat for a long time with her when she went out with an excuse. Not long after, another person came in the private room and it was someone who she whom she would have never thought about.
