Ah Zhao blushes faintly.
Huo Jun stares at her.
“I, I’m willing to.”
His grip on her hand tightens. “Then there isn’t a problem.”
Ah Zhao looks at him.
“There’s not a person who was supposed to marry me. The one that went through a wedding ceremony with me is First Lady Qi.”
The two of them keep walking.
Curiosity suddenly takes over Ah Zhao. “Well, what if I’m not willing to?”
To keep pace with her, Huo Jun walks very slow. Hearing that, his lips curve a bit. “My Lady, you went through a wedding ceremony with me and you were in the bridal chamber with me. Don’t you think it’s a bit late to say that you are not willing to marry me?”
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen. She finally realizes what’s on his mind. “Then why do you ask?”
Is there a difference whether she is willing to marry him or not?
“There is a difference.”
Looking ahead, his lips quirk. “I’m happy that you are willing to marry me, My Lady.”
Ah Zhao doesn’t speak anymore.
Turning to her, Huo Jun sees a pink blush spread across her porcelain-white skin.
That’s cute.He thinks.
They arrive at a yard
It is a bit far with groves of bamboos grow outside.
Seeing Huo Jun and Ah Zhao, two maids in the yard hurriedly guide them inside.
“My Lady is chanting the sutras. General, Young Lady, please wait for a moment.” Having made them tea, the maids stand by the side quietly.
Ah Zhao suddenly realizes who it is that lives here.
After half a cup of tea, a lady in deep-green cheongsam walks in, who doesn’t have any extra jewelry on except a delicate jade bracelet.
She doesn’t need any jewelry anyway, since her temperament is outstanding even though she doesn’t have an extremely beautiful feature.
Though she is advanced in years with thin lines around the corners of her eyes, whenever she curves her lips, one can see her elegance accumulated through the years.
“Mother.” Huo Jun stands up as he calls.
Ah Zhao hurriedly stands up as well and calls in a small voice.
That lady looks at Ah Zhao for a while. Her look isn’t inquisitive which makes others uncomfortable. Instead, she looks at her as if an elder of a family looks at a beloved junior.
“Good girl.” Lady Huo praises. “Very intelligent. You have a good sense of judgment.” She says and turns to Huo Jun.
Huo Jun nods in agreement. “She is good.”
He doesn’t mention that his bride was changed at all.
“But a bit slender.” Lady Huo waves Ah Zhao over and holds her hand. “I have several old ginsengs. I’ll send them to you later. You need more nourishment.”
Ah Zhao can’t help turning to Huo Jun.
He nods. “Take what mother gives you. She has the best of everything.”
“You are a talker.”
Lady Huo looks at Ah Zhao, full of joy.
“What’s your name?”
“Qi Zhao. You can call me Ah Zhao, mother.” Ah Zhao’s eyes smile.
She is most sensitive to good and evil. She can feel that this lady in front of her does like her so she would love to get close to her too.
“Ah Zhao, listen to me. Don’t act according to Huo Jun’s will. Us women need to know our own minds.”
Huo Jun listens to his mother talk to his wife about him without any expression.
Ah Zhao listens to Lady Huo with smiles.
After Lady Huo finishes, Ah Zhao turns to Huo Jun and says in a small voice: “The general is a good man. I like to look at him.”
Lady Huo pauses for a second and then bursts out laughing: “Hah hah.”
How can she not love a girl like Ah Zhao?
Huo Jun stands by the side as he listens to his wife and feels today is a fine day.
