Chapter 219
However, Qi Ying says: “But didn’t the general’s former wives had accidents before the wedding ceremonies? Big sister is still well . ”
Nobody knows the daughter better than the mother .
Hearing that from Qi Ying, Lady Qi has the jitters .
She pulls her daughter over hard and grips her hands tightly . “Qi Ying! I warn you! Don’t get involved in things you ought not to!”
Qi Ying gives her a glance .
Lady Qi's tone softens: “I only have you . Given our family's wealth, I can find you a good-tempered husband so that you can have a happy life, okay?”
Qi Ying lowers her eyes . “All right . ”
Lady Qi feels relieved . She asks the servants to prepare refreshments then puts her outfit in order .
“Let's go to them . We have to be there since it’s your big sister's first visit after her wedding . ”
In the main hall, Huo Jun sits on a chair with Ah Zhao next to him .
Lord Qi is supposed to sit on the host chair, however, he isn't so sure anymore seeing Huo Jun expressionless in his trim military uniform and Ah Zhao with a slight smile whose mood he can't tell .
He pauses then sits on their opposite .
“Zhao Zhao, are you used to the life in the General’s Manor?” Lord Qi works hard to reassert his position as a father .
Ah Zhao gives him a look, then turns to Lady Qi and Qi Ying who is standing aside and nods honestly . “The General’s Manor is good . Better than here . ”

Lord Qi: “ . . . ” He doesn't know how to answer .
Forcing a smile, he says: “Good, good . ”
Standing on one side, Qi Ying holds her big sister in contempt who never knows what's the right thing to say since she was little .
When Dong-shi was still alive, Lady Qi was only a concubine .
Dong-shi loved her daughter dearly, satisfying the little girl's every need . Qi Zhao loved to read so Dong-shi spent a fortune hiring a famous teacher for her .
Of course, in Lady Qi’s opinion, it was Dong-shi who brought up First Young Lady an unworldly person .
Since she was little, Qi Ying has found her big sister the same as a timber who always stayed in her yard without playing or talking to her .

If Ah Zhao knows what Qi Ying thinks, she is going to tell her with her finger at her forehead that Qi Zhao wasn’t a girl who didn't like to talk, she simply looked down on Qi Ying and Lady Qi .
Feeling the awkwardness, Qi Ying suddenly lets out a small laughter .
Before Lady Qi stops her, she already walks up .
Picking up a cup of tea, she walks to Huo Jun and Ah Zhao .
“Big sister, it’s your first visit home after your wedding . I’m so happy to see you and brother-in-law in perfect harmony . Please have this cup of tea from me . ”
However, as she speaks of her sister, it is Huo Jun she looks at .

Lady Qi turns pale . “Ying-er! Back here!”
Seeing that Ah Zhao is looking at her, she forces a smile . “Your second sister is spoiled and knows no rules . First Young Lady, please don't take offense . ”
There isn’t a rule for a younger sister to offer her elder sister tea when the elder sister visits after her wedding, only a rule that a concubine should offer a lady tea .
Qi Ying doesn't even look back . Her eyes are fixed on Ah Zhao now . “Sister, don’t you want my tea?”
She is sure that no matter how unwillingly, Qi Zhao must put up a gentle and graceful posture in front of General Huo since it has only been three days of marriage .
However, she is wrong .
Ah Zhao casts Qi Ying a lazy glance and doesn’t hide her dislike . “Well, I don’t want it . No . ”
