Chapter 218
By the time Lord Qi, Lady Qi, and Qi Ying arrive at the gate, they see the two holding hands .
Look at the man with a cold expression in a military uniform and the woman in light-green cheongsam . It’s surprising how good they look together .
Lord Qi’s eyes light up at once .
“General, Zhao Zhao . ” He walks over and greets them .
Lady Qi and Qi Ying remains behind and don’t dare to say a word looking at the row of guards armed with guns .
Huo Jun doesn’t answer . Instead, he looks at Ah Zhao .
A family that made a decision to let its first daughter marry instead of the second daughter might not have been treating My Lady very well .
Do you think that Lord Qi was innocent?
If he was, he would have gone to the General’s Manor asking for his daughter back the moment he learned about the truth .
Ah Zhao holds Huo Jun’s hand and feels very unhappy when she sees Lord Qi who is radiant with health .
She knows why she isn’t happy, for Qi Zhao's sake .
In front of her stands Qi Zhao's father who is happy to see her not because she has married a good man but because she has won the general’s heart so that she can bring him more benefits .
To him, his first daughter Qi Zhao is no difference from a valuable product .

Old guy .
Hum!
She smiles meekly and calls: “Lord Qi . ”
Lord Qi’s smile freezes .
He looks at Ah Zhao, showing his authority as a parent instinctively and scolds with a frown: “Well, lost all your manners after you are married? What did you call me?”
“Lord Qi . ” A cold and unfriendly voice interrupts him .
Lord Qi pauses then looks at Huo Jun .

Huo Jun squeezes Ah Zhao’s hand to comfort her and says slowly: “My Lady isn't in a good shape . She can’t hear any scold . If her condition worsens because of that, I’ll be very angry . ”
Lord Qi: “ . . . ”
He looks at their holding hands and then turns to the stern-looking guards without any expressions behind them . His cheeks twist and he forces a smile: “Yes, General, you are right . Zhao Zhao isn’t in a very good shape . Let’s not stand here in the wind and go inside . ”
Turning around, he sees Lady Qi and Qi Ying who are still standing there and starts to feel embarrassed to have lost face in front of his wife and daughter .
“Why are you still here? The General and his lady are here . Hurry up and prepare some tea and pastries for our guests!”
Qi Ying opens her mouth, wants to say something . However, Lady Qi tugs at her then they head to the back chamber, only let out a sigh of relief after getting away from Huo Jun and his guards .

“Big sister was impressive . ” Qi Ying suddenly says .
Lady Qi turns to her daughter, not knowing what is on her mind .
“I haven't seen father so humiliated, choked with silent fury . ”
Lord Qi is a typical feudal patriarch who is the only one has the say in the family .
He will treat his son and daughters, even Lady Qi, with good stuff when he is happy and will scold them without leaving any face for them when he is not .
Lady Qi is a bit worried by what her daughter has said . Though she doesn't have much knowledge or experience, she knows that general isn't someone she can afford to irritate so she hurriedly says: “You are the one didn’t want to marry him so I let your big sister marry him instead, without telling your father . Now that your big sister has married him, don’t think about it anymore! Besides, have you forgotten that General Huo is a jinx to his wife?”
Recalling Ah Zhao’s sickly look, she adds: “Who knows how long your big sister will manage to live as his wife?”
