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 .
