Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 107 part 2

Chapter 107 The scheme (2)

It was said that Situ Yuanxiao was hot tempered. Zhao Zimu had witnessed it today. He blamed people who had been with him for so many years so easily. She really wondered how Chen Jing endured him for so many years.

Zhao Zimu stepped inside and walked to him. Chen Jing shouted in surprise, “Stop, how did you get in? Don’t you know that you can’t intrude in my big tent as you like?! Do you believe that I will use the military law to deal with you!”

“I don’t.” Zhao Zimu looked steadfast at him and said, “Do you believe that even if I strutted into your father’s big tent, your father wouldn’t have an opinion?”

Chen Jing humphed once, stood up from the ground and looked vigilantly at her, “What did you come here for? I have nothing to say to you, the running dog of a treacherous official.”

“I originally came here to thank you for taking care of my little sister before. Also, I won’t agree on the matter of the two of you.” Zhao Zimu exposed Ling Er for being a woman without care. She had noticed the two of them long ago. So, she deliberately looked indifferently at him.

Chen Jing’s face paled again and said, “Are you done? If you are done, trouble you to get out. I still have official duties to attend to.”

Zhao Zimu didn’t say more and immediately went out. On the way, she stopped Ling Er and dragged her back.

Inside Zhao residence, well, the current courtyard’s name had changed into Zhao residence. Zhao Zimu stared at the thing in Ling Er’s hand and asked indifferently, “You made it for me?”

“Ah, yes,” Ling Er immediately said nervously. Her face immediately became bitter when she remembered that there was another one in the kitchen. Miss, is it that you know that if you stop me, you would have to drink both? You wouldn’t be able to finish it!

“Looking for Chen Jing?” Zhao Zimu asked abruptly. Ling Er whose thoughts were elsewhere, immediately regained her senses and firmly said, “No!”

Zhao Zimu couldn’t help from putting her hand on her forehead. She said with a bit of headache and amusement, “Even if you deny, I know from your actions. Don’t talk and listen to me.”

“I know that you took a fancy on that guy.”

“I didn’t!”

“…Let me finish!”

Zhao Zimu rubbed her forehead again and beckoned Ling Er to come over. Then, she pulled Ling Er onto her lap like in the past and said softly to her, “I am unclear about the unclear things between you two, but I know that you two have some interest in each other. However, your identities are different. It will be very difficult for the matter of you two to become fruitful. You have to be clear about this.”

She looked at the dumbstruck person with a bit of heartache and said slowly, “Just now, I have visited him and let him stop thinking about you.”

“Miss…”

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhao Zimu poked her slightly sluggish expression and said, “Chen Jing has a special identity. It will be very difficult for the two of you to be together. It will be difficult for the forces around him and his own heart to give you a promise and bright future. Everyone around him will oppose the relationship between you two. I might as well also give him a push and let him be isolated without help. Under such circumstances, it will be easy to rebel. He will then do some things that he shouldn’t do. I just want to stir him up and let you become important in his heart. You have to know how long you have been with him. Without a deep emotional foundation, I am worried that his fancy towards you will be easily shaken. Hence, I will deliberately create obstacles for him to prevent him from approaching you easily.”

Ling Er looked a bit stunned at Zhao Zimu and said, “Miss…”

She had never thought that miss was so rigorous in scheming, have such deep foresight and profound thinking, and grasped the mentality of another profoundly in her hands. Ling Er’s gaze shook and the admiration was about to overflow in her eyes. Zhao Zimu smiled, pinched her small nose and said, “But you can’t leave him in the cold as well. Appear from time to time by his side when he is down, entice him, but don’t let him have his way because he will want to get things that he can’t get even more.”

“Miss,” Ling Er punched her with her small fists shyly. She said, “Where did you learn these things?”

“Before, Qiansui…”

“Did you use it on Qiansui?”

“No…”

“Why?”

“Don’t change the subject!” Zhao Zimu coughed twice and said, “In short, I will play the role of the bad guy with those people who will oppose you. You only have to do what you want to do. As long as Chen Jing is willing to sacrifice everything for you, I will consent for you to be together.”

“After speaking so much, you haven’t asked if I like him or not. How can you be sure that I will like hm?”

Zhao Zimu glanced at the box next to her and stopped talking. Ling Er followed her gaze silently and defended herself, “That is…”

Before she finished, Zhao Zimu pushed her away and said, “I’m leaving.”

“Where to?” Ling Er shouted quickly.

“Barracks!”

After disappearing for so many days, it was time for her to go back and report.

—

Half a month later, looking at the person who had appeared within a few days of receiving the news, the whole court was silent as if all of them had become mute. Only emperor Jinghui looked with joy at the person standing below in the court and reported to him. After Lin Qing finished, emperor Jinghui laughed loudly and said to the officials at court, “Beloved subject worked hard. Not only did beloved subject promoted my Great Liang’s military prestige, you also greatly caused the Xiongnu to suffer a great loss. You are indeed the pillar of the court! Zhen must reward you nicely this time. You can mention anything you want. Zhen will absolutely not be stingy!”

Lin Qing slowly raised his head to emperor Jinghui and showed a smile. His effeminate voice spread throughout the hall, “This subject doesn’t need anything. It is an honor to be able to serve Your Majesty. How can this subject dare to ask rewards for the service?”

Emperor Jinghui laughed gratified and said, “Sure enough, you are zhen’s loyal subject.”

Having said this, everyone’s complexion became ashen. They looked at Lin Qing with fire burning in their eyes and Lin Qing was calm and composed.

He treated any slander and praise only as the breeze of the world. They never stayed in his heart. He only needed to do everything to get what he wanted.
