Chapter 53: The Shizi's Plan for a Martial Arts Teacher 1

Bao Xia was directing people to carry baskets of beef inside when she saw Shao Yao running back and said hurriedly, "Miss Shao Yao, you've come at the right time. The person delivering the beef wants to see you."

See her?

Did the Shizi have something to instruct her?

Shao Yao hurried to the back door, and when she saw the person, her eyes almost popped out. Afraid of making a mistake, she even lifted the hem of her veil.

"Ma... Master... Oh my, why are you here?"

Everyone around the Shizi knew that he treated Shao Yao differently, and those who knew the inside story showed a hint of respect towards her. They were used to how Shao Yao was neither inferior nor superior in front of the Shizi; this was all allowed by the Shizi.

The Shizi gestured for her to follow him, and they walked a bit further before he whispered, "I want you to recommend me as a martial arts teacher to Hua Zhi."

"I... Hua Zhi is my friend, you can't scheme against her."

"What is there for me to scheme about with her? Do you want a stranger to enter the Hua family and disturb their peace?"

Shao Yao frowned in distress, "That shouldn't be the case. Hua Zhi said she would have her maternal family help in hiring someone, and she will definitely choose someone reliable."

"Do you trust her?"

"I haven't met the person. How can I trust them?"

"Then why are you hesitating?"

Shao Yao had a feeling that something was not right, but under the Shizi's urging, she had no choice but to bring him to meet Bao Xia, who was waiting inside.

Although Bao Xia was cautious, she still had some trust in the person Shao Yao brought. However, she couldn't make this decision on her own, so she left the two to wait there while she went to consult the young lady.

Shao Yao looked around and whispered like she was showing off a treasure, "Do you know what Hua Zhi is doing now? She's acting as a teacher, she's so amazing. Hua Zhi can do anything."

The Shizi was eager to shift her attention but was also surprised to hear this, "Didn't they hire a teacher already?"

"They did, but he couldn't teach well. I listened to Hua Zhi just now, and she speaks so well. I want to be her student, but I'm too old." After feeling dejected for a moment, Shao Yao became excited again, "Master, Hua Zhi gave me a nickname, just between us, it's unique."

The Shizi's eyes had a hint of complexity. Though he was happy for her, Shao Yao was not easily deceived, sharp as a natural talent. She distinguished between sincerity and hypocrisy. Perhaps Hua Zhi was truly very good to her, which made her always remember and talk about it with a smile.

Unintentionally, even Hua Zhi herself may not have realized that her compassion for the weak, just like her fierceness towards enemies, was deeply ingrained within her. That's why she would risk her life to protect the maid who grew up with her, treat Shao Yao with genuine care, and even soften her heart towards others who tried to avoid and offend him.

As soon as Shao Yao's message was relayed back, he had not considered bringing anyone over. He wanted to see for himself what kind of person it was nearby, to see how the Hua family would fare in her hands, and to understand how she would face the family members who would obstruct her.

Would she be heartbroken?

How far could she go without hesitation?

Someone like that wouldn't let anyone see their heartache, he was strangely certain of that.
