Chapter 213
Ah Zhao thinks about it and finds what Huo Jun says makes sense .
The two have fun on the way as they walk slowly back to their room .
Those who are observant have seen it all .
“Did you say the general walks his bride back to their room, playing on the way?” In a sumptuous room, a hand with red nails is holding a pair of scissors, cutting a spare branch off a white peony carefully .
“Yes, I saw that myself . ”
The person puts down the scissors with a laughter . “It seems, the general is quite happy with his bride . ”
She mutters softly: “But I heard she is in poor health . I wonder how long she can manage . ”
The maid doesn’t dare to speak with her head lowered . She simply wishes she never heard that .
“Hong-er, prepare me a big gift . I’m going to visit the young Lady this afternoon . ” Since Lady Huo is still alive, she calls Ah Zhao young Lady .
“Yes, Third Lady . ”
It turns out to be the third concubine of the late general .
In the afternoon, after her noontime nap, Ah Zhao hears from a maid that third lady and fourth miss is coming for a visit .
“Third Lady?” Ah Zhao hasn't figured out which relative that is .

Lv Zhu reminds her in a small voice . Then she realizes who the that is, Huo Jun’s step mother, to put it simply, but just nominal, of course, since the whole manor lives by Huo Jun’s command now . Those concubines and their daughters, no matter how doted on or powerful they were in the past, have to shut themselves from the world and behave .
Seeing Ah Zhao’s eyes still heavy with sleep, Lv Zhu says considerately: “My Lady, if you don’t want to see them, don’t see them . ”
Ah Zhao shakes her head . “I don't think they have anything else to attend to . Let them wait for a moment . ”
Lv Zhu nods . She walks over to help Ah Zhao get out of bed and wash as she sends a maid to inform the guests .
“What does she mean? Showing her authority already?” A pretty young girl in a light-yellow Western-style dress says a bit unhappy after the maid leaves .
The Third Lady isn't as short-tempered as she is . Though she isn’t very happy, she doesn’t show it .

“Quiet . How are you still so irritable after what I've taught you all these years?”
She picks up a teacup by her hand, a bit upset, but she simply closes her eyes . “Does it matter if it’s a display of authority? We can't go to Lady Huo and ask for an explanation, can we?”
The girl in the Western-style dress, namely the fourth miss’s eyes redden . “Mother, we've never been treated so badly before . ”
The Third Lady puts down the teacup . “You said it, it all passes . ”
She suddenly stops speaking since she hears someone coming .
Ah Zhao walks inside, followed by several maids .

She wears a smile . “Sorry if I slight you, I had a long noontime nap . ”
The Third Lady looks at her carefully and sees that this new lady is as fair as snow with a bit sleepiness on her face so that she knows she is telling the truth .
That makes her happier . She also smiles . “It’s our bad to have disturbed you, Young Lady . ”
By her side, the fourth miss gazes at Ah Zhao blankly without a word .
The Third Lady frowns . “Wan Wan?”
Fourth Miss Huo’s name is Huo Wan Wan .
