Chapter 215
The Third Lady knows about the general’s bride .
However, since she lives deep inside a large manor with limited connections, she knows no more except the young lady was born in a wealthy merchant family .
In recent years, though the social status of merchant has been elevated, it still isn't regarded as a decent trade by many .
In Third Lady’s opinion, a merchant family, no matter how wealthy it is, stinks of money .
She has heard that the young lady was born to a second wife who also came from a merchant family so she didn’t think that kind of family would bring up a good daughter .
However, her mind has changed the moment she saw Ah Zhao .
Though Qi Zhao is good-looking, the Third Lady doesn’t think much of that . At her age, she attaches more importance to other qualities besides appearance .
What she cares more about is the impression Ah Zhao has given her .
The young lady is like snow on a high mountain, a hidden stream among thick forest . Let alone the stink of money, she seems like a person out of this world .
What kind of family is Qi Family?
Besides, does young girls of Qi Family all grow up in remote mountains?
That can't be right . If it is so, it doesn’t explain her calmness in the face of events .
The Third Lady can’t figure it out so she gives up .

If she asks further about the young lady, she might be regarded as having hidden intent .
Since the late general passed away and Lady Huo shut herself away from ordinary affairs, the Third Lady finds her life joyless .
Right now, all she worries about is her daughter, Wan Wan, hoping to fix her a good marriage so that she can be protected and lead a life free of anxiety .
The Third Lady shakes her head and doesn’t think about it anymore . In a word, it is a good thing that her daughter gets along with the young lady .
On the other hand, Ah Zhao receives another guest .
“My Lady, it’s Fifth Miss . ” Lv Zhu whispers by Ah Zhao’s ear .

Ah Zhao nods .
One glance at the Fifth Miss, whose name is Huo Xian Xian, she can tell the difference between her and the Fourth Miss .
Huo Wan Wan, the Fourth Miss wore a fashionable Western-style dress and the newest jewelry . However, Huo Wan Wan has a green old-style dress on which looks 90% new but not made of a good fabric, with two thin sliver bracelets around her wrists .
Huo Xian Xian looks a bit timid as she passes an exquisite small basket and says: “My mother doesn't feel well and can’t come to see you, Young Lady . Here are some little things she has made . I hope you like them . ”
Ah Zhao lets her sit and has someone prepare some gifts in return . However, Huo Xian Xian clearly feels uneasy no matter sitting or standing and soon she takes her leave .
Ah Zhao watches her leave and exclaims to cotton candy: “It seems the late general had a lot of good fortune in love affairs . ”

Timid as the Fifth Miss seems, she is as fair as a lovely lotus, very attractive .
Cotton candy answers as if it knows a lot: “Men with power and influence love beauties . ”
Ah Zhao snorts slightly and says with a bit smugness: “Huo Jun isn't like them . ”
No matter who he is, in what position, he always loves her, only her .
Cotton candy has become immune to her daily display of affection . Hearing that, it crouches down in a corner as if it is deaf and doesn’t bother to answer .
Ah Zhao opens what the Fifth Miss has brought her . There is some small stuff such as fan leaves, pouches with fragrance, and knots wishing for safety and a happy marriage .
