Chapter 212
Walking out of Lady Huo’s yard, sweat starts to appear on Ah Zhao’s forehead . Today’s amount of exercise is already beyond her physical limit .
Huo Jun looks at her, his brows draw together tightly .
“You are a bit too weak . ”
Ah Zhao snorts slightly: “I don't have a choice since I was born this way . ”
Seeing Huo Jun’s expression change, Ah Zhao somehow guesses what’s on his mind and says hurriedly before he reaches for her: “I want to walk by myself . ”
It was alright to be carried back in the wedding hall since she really can't walk at that time .
It isn’t alright if she is carried in this back yard .
Of course, Ah Zhao doesn't really care about that . She only feels she can walk after some rest .
Since she has made up her mind to become stronger, she can't let herself keep being so delicate .
She asks: “Is there any other members of the family we need to meet?”
Huo Jun leads her to a pavilion to sit down as he shakes his head . “No . ”
Then he tells her the current situation of the manor briefly .
His father, the former general passed away a few years ago because of an old injury . Right now, Huo Jun has the final say in the manor .

In the back yard, besides Lady Huo, there are several concubines with two misses who hasn't got married .
“You don't have to worry about them . You are the hostess of this manor now . If you don’t like to be disturbed, don't bother with them . ”
Huo Jun is cold when he talks about those concubines and his half-sisters . Obviously, he isn’t very close to them .
Ah Zhao memorizes all that as she nods .
Huo Jun speaks of Lady Huo again: “Mother likes you . I wasn't boasting . She does have a lot of good stuff . If she gives you something, take it . ”
Lady Huo was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty . When it was toppled, royal family members didn’t have it good .
Those who were unfortunate ended up beheaded . Those who lived kept a low profile, afraid to mention their good old days .

Lady Huo was lucky to meet Huo Jun’s father, who was already a famous young general by then .
A young general and a princess in misfortune always make a moving story .
However, reality was different . It turned out Young General Huo fell for the beautiful princess and took her to his manor .
She married him not out of love at first sight . She just wanted a shelter .
Thus, they married and the princess became Lady Huo .
Because of Young General Huo, Lady Huo’s family wealth was protected .

He left them all to her .
The property of a royal is far beyond what a nouveau riche can imagine . After all, there are things in this world that can’t be bought with money .
Though the General’s Manor is a symbol of power with numerous gold and silver, Lady Huo has all the real good stuff .
That explains what Huo Jun tells Ah Zhao .
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen . She never thinks the gentle and endearing Lady Huo was born with a golden spoon .
Recalling Lady Huo’s attitude, Ah Zhao exclaims: “Mother doesn’t look like a princess . ”
Huo Jun understands what she means and laughs: “Only those unqualified need to pretend to be privileged . ”
