Chapter 232
Ah Zhao looks at the Sixth Lady in shock . “Where does that idea come from?”
The Sixth Lady suddenly realizes she has been rude and returns to her usual calm self as if that sharp-tongued woman was just Ah Zhao's illusion .
She gives Ah Zhao a faint smile . “Young Lady, why did you marry the general who was famous for being a jinx to his wife?”
Ah Zhao pauses .
A bit of joy appears on her face . She says: “It was destiny . ”
The Sixth Lady: “ . . . ”
Ah Zhao looks at her, her tone firm: “Sixth Lady, I’m happy to have married Huo Jun . ”
The Sixth Lady looks at her with mixed feelings . “Well, you are just lucky . ”
Lucky enough to meet a guy who loves you .
However .
The Sixth Lady lowers her eyes .
How long will your luck hold?
Ah Zhao shakes her head . “Xian Xian will have it too . ”
She looks at the Sixth Lady when the Sixth Lady looks back at her .
She speaks full of trust: “The general is an indomitable spirit . He doesn’t need to trade off his sister for gains, nor will he do that . You should trust him, Sixth Lady . ”
The Sixth Lady doesn't respond to that .

By now, Huo Xian Xian returns with a hand-made basket .
“Sister-in-law, there are two tins of scented tea in here . ” As she speaks, she passes Ah Zhao the basket with a smile .
Ah Zhao looks at her and then turns to the Sixth Lady .
Huo Xian Xian is sensitive enough to realize something isn't right between the two .
The Sixth Lady says: “Xian Xian, bring me a folding fan, the purple one . ”
Huo Xian Xian nods and leaves .
Looking at her huddled shoulders, Ah Zhao says: “She should be like Wan Wan, wearing beautiful western-style dresses, meeting new friends at school and leading a life of confidence . Sixth Lady, there's no reason to prevent a person from being better . Don't you feel bad seeing Xian Xian like this?”
She stands up, reaching out for the basket and bids her farewell to the Sixth Lady, ready to leave .

“Wait . ” The Sixth Lady suddenly puts her hand on the basket .
In a flash, she takes out two knots that wish for safety out of the basket .
“I haven't finished these two yet . Xian Xian got them wrong . I’ll send them to you after I finish them, Young Lady . ”
Ah Zhao looks at the knots, confused since she doesn't see anything near “not finished” on them .
However, since the Sixth Lady has said it, she doesn't insist and leaves with two tins of scented tea .
After a good while, Huo Xian Xian returns . “Mother, I haven't found the purple folding fan . Has sister-in-law left?”
The Sixth Lady answers, a bit indifferent: “Hmm, I think she has something to attend to . ”

Then, she suddenly asks: “Xian Xian, do you like the Young Lady?”
She knows her daughter well, timid and introvert who seldom brings people back which says a lot about how she feels about Ah Zhao .
Huo Xian Xian says in a small voice: “Young Lady is good-looking, and kind . ”
Ah Zhao is the first person in the manor who treats Huo Wan Wan and her equally .
The Sixth Lady says coldly: “Don't hang around with her from now on . She’s the general's wife . She’s in a different world from us . ”
Huo Xian Xian is shocked . Lowering her head frustrated, she answers her mother below her breath .
Seeing her reaction, the Sixth Lady has a mixed feeling .
There’s love of a mother in her eyes, also guilt, unwillingness, and implacable hatred .
