Chapter 222
Usually, Huo Jun doesn’t have noontime naps so after he sends Ah Zhao to rest, he asks Qi Jun, his young brother-in-law to show him around Qi Family's manor .
He wants to see it since it is where his wife grew up .
Having been bought over by his new brother-in-law, Qi Jun readily agrees .
It is said that Qi Family's manor belonged to a prince of the previous dynasty . It's big with an exquisite design, not very compatible to the demeanor of Qi Family .
Qi Jun is young after all . He becomes tired soon .
Huo Jun asks him to find a pavilion for a rest when he strolls around again by himself .
“Brother-in-law . ”
As soon as Huo Jun arrives at an artificial lake, he hears a soft call from behind .
His brows draw tightly together .
Qi Ying doesn't think she will see Huo Jun here .
She finds her distress unbearable so she tries to drive it away by walking in the yard when she sees him against her expectations .
She doesn’t know why she calls him .
However, as she walks closer, Huo Jun’s impatience grows clearer in her eyes .
“Second Miss, what is it now?” Huo Jun has no good opinion of this woman who was supposed to marry him .
She looks at his indifference as she recalls how gentle and protective he was to Qi Zhao .

A world of difference .
It ought to be . . . it ought to be me who should enjoy that .
She bites her lips and suddenly speaks: “Brother-in-law, do you know that you were engaged to the second miss of Qi Family?”
Lowering her eyes, she tells only half of the story intentionally, acting like a delicate and charming young woman .
She believes that no man will remain calm when he suddenly knows such news and will definitely insist on getting to the bottom of the matter .
She isn’t as wooden and slow of speech as Qi Zhao is .
As long as General Huo shows an interest, she has her ways . . .

With raised brows, Huo Jun stares at her .
Though he isn’t a very experienced man of love, he knows a bit of what Qi Ying is playing at .
He doesn’t care much about her irritating intention and simply wonders why his innocent wife has such a bad sister .
“Second Miss, are you trying to tell me how unwilling you were to marry me that you even threatened to kill yourself?”
Qi Ying doesn't expect that . “I . . . ”
“Or do you want to speak in detail how your mother and you drugged my lady and sent her onto that sedan chair?”
His cold speech is like a bucket of iced water pouring down her head which catches her unawares and sends chills down her spine .

How come General Huo knows everything?
How dare Qi Zhao tell him that?
How dare she?
Wasn’t her afraid that in his rage, the man would take it out on her?
Qi Ying freezes on the spot when she hears a cold male voice:
“Since you are my lady's family, I will let you off this time for her sake, otherwise . . . it's a piece of cake for me to let two people vanish out of thin air . I want to make this clear to you - know where you are, claim what is yours, and nothing else . My lady and I are deep in love with each other . If you ever try to sow discord between us, I won't spare you! Besides, don't mention my lady’s name in front of me again . You are unworthy of speaking her name . ”
Then he turns around and leaves, without even looking at Qi Ying .
