Calculated as Lord Qi is, he failed to see his second wife Zhang-shi was foolish enough to replace the original with a fake .
Qi Zhao was put in the sedan chair after she was drugged .
She wasn’t in a good shape to begin with . When she woke up and found out what happened, she was scared as well as angry . Seized by an outburst of anger, she passed away .
That was how Ah Zhao ended up here .
She sighs as she feels the weight of her feeble limbs .
Weak indeed .
Now she is carried with half of her weight on another person . In a few steps, her legs are already shaking .
Good she doesn't have to walk a long distance .
She hears a shriek: “The bride is here . ”
Immediately, noise grows .
Endless noise around her makes her head throb . She gasps for breath .
At this point, everything suddenly becomes quiet .
With a good hearing, she hears someone say “The General is here . ”
The General?
Since Ah Zhao isn't Qi Zhao, she isn’t afraid of Huo Jun at all, rather, she’s quite curious .
Steady footsteps approach, a rhythmical sound of leather army boots against the ground as if it is knocking on everyone's heart .
Huo Jun looks at his bride .
Below the red wedding gown is a slender body . With everything covered up, he can only see a little part of her attractive figure .
The matron who is standing in front of Ah Zhao is so intimidated and panic-stricken, she tries to remain calm: “Gen, General, please come to the wedding hall with the bride . ”
Hearing the matron’s shaky voice, Ah Zhao is amused as she thinks how ferocious this woman was to her a minute ago now that she is so intimidated by someone else .
What a cowardly bully .
As she thinks, she is given a section of red silk .
She knows this . The bridegroom and bride are supposed to hold both ends of the red silk as a good omen for a couple with one heart or good fortune .
The matron who has been by her side all this time steps away . She feels someone else on her right, standing very close to her . Stealing a glance, she sees a pair of black boots, strong and straight lower legs .
Looking up, her sight is blocked by the kerchief .
The two walk to the wedding hall together .
As he's walking, Huo Jun suddenly feels a strong tug at the red silk in his hand .
Then he hears: “General, can you slow down?”
He pauses for a second .
Ah Zhao, not knowing what he means, continues: “I don’t have the strength to walk anymore . ”
She isn’t lying . This body of hers is born weak, plus that drug given to Qi Zhao by her step mother makes her weak . It is good news that she’s still conscious .
Huo Jun looks at the woman beside him a little surprised .
Her voice is small and tiny, which doesn’t sound very energetic, her tone sweet as if she is a spoiled child .
He has heard that Qi Family came from the South and moved North .
This girl of Qi Family does look like a delicately sweet one of the South .
A sweet voice but daring, knowing who I am and still talking to me like that .
Guests at the ceremony see the general suddenly stop .
Many of them look at each other, surprised and bewildered . Is the General not happy about his bride?
