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.
