Chapter 230: The General is Sick, He Just Needs a Good Beating (26)
Translator: asassin
Huo Jun doesn’t move.
Ah Zhao holds his hand, waiting for an answer.
After a while, maybe just an instance, Huo Jun turns around, bends down and carries her off her feet like he did on their wedding day.
He puts her on the bed, gives her a meaningful look and leaves.
Ah Zhao: “?”
She asks cotton candy, a bit hesitant: “What does he mean by this? Does he believe me or not?”
Cotton candy answers in a deep tone: “Don’t try to guess a man’s mind.”
Ah Zhao: “What are you reading this time?”
Cotton candy answers in all seriousness: “Ten Elements that Made a Successful man.”
Ah Zhao looks at the ball in midair which she can hold with her hands and recalls its childish voice.
Seriously, a man?
Shortly after Huo Jun leaves, Lv Zhu appears.
Ah Zhao looks at her and asks: “Where does the general go?”
Lv Zhu answers: “The general has something to attend to and tells me to take good care of you, My Lady.”
She helps Ah Zhao check the wound on her back.
Ah Zhao has a fair complexion with delicate skin. Her back was wounded when she was pushed away by Huo Jun and got scraped on the floor.
It isn’t bad with some skin grazed. But the large bruise on her porcelain back is horrible to see.
Lv Zhu helps her apply some medicine then rolls up her sleeves carefully.
Compared to the wounds on her back, her arms are more severely injured. Anyone can see that the bruise on her arms were left by scratches.
Lv Zhu is a bit curious since she was right outside the room that night but she didn’t hear anything.
Before dawn, she saw the general who always wore a cold face carry the lady back to the room and was asked to send for a doctor which scared her to death.
What happened that night? How did the lady get out? Where did she get all those wounds?
A head full of questions doesn’t slow her down. She finishes changing Ah Zhao’s medicine in no time.
“My Lady, how do you feel? Do you want to take a walk in the yard?”
That delights Ah Zhao. “I can go out?”
Lv Zhu is a bit confused. “Why not?”
She thinks Ah Zhao is worried about her own condition and comforts her: “Your injury isn’t very bad. You don’t have to stay in bed, My Lady.”
However, Ah Zhao is thinking that Huo Jun doesn’t ground her.
After all, he has a tender heart.
Ah Zhao has a radiant smile. “Good, let’s take a walk.”
As she and Lv Zhu walk in the yard, a call rises from behind.
“Sister-in-law.”
It is a familiar voice.
Ah Zhao turns around and sees a girl in a lake-green dress.
It’s Huo Xian Xian.
She stands there, slender and graceful, holding a basket with a few flowers in it.
Ah Zhao has a good impression of her. “Fifth Miss, are you picking flowers?”
Huo Xian Xian smiles shyly. “My mother enjoys making scented tea so I want to get her some flowers.”
A bit surprised, Ah Zhao asks: “Will I have the honor to taste it?”
Huo Xian Xian pauses. Apparently, she doesn’t expect that from Ah Zhao.
Watching Ah Zhao’s smile, she says hesitantly: “I have to ask mother about that.”
Ah Zhao beams. “Does Sixth Lady feel better now? I don’t have anything else to do. How about I go back with you?”
Huo Xian Xian is a bit embarrassed yet happy.
“All right.” She answers softly.
The yard where her mother and she live has seen few guests in recent years.
