After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 214: He’s Responsible for Taking Care of His Sister
Zhao Xiaohua stared blankly at the departing Zhao Ting, and only reacted after a while.
"Second brother, is he our father?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
Zhao Dahe nodded, that face overlapped with his mories.
Chang Feng leaned close to Yun Ying, whispering Zhao Ting’s identity— the third-rank General Zhao Yi.
Although the rank can’t compare to the supre Duke.
But.
Zhao Ting is soone that Emperor Jing trusts very much nowadays.
A rising star, a new noble.
In the eyes of a monarch, such people are more trustworthy. Because, their allegiance is solely to the king.
Unlike the Duke Mansion, which has been a noble family for generations.
Seeming glorious but having to be cautious in everything.
Moreover, he is an illegitimate child.
Zhao Dahe is the legitimate son.
"Second brother, do you think he can find mom?" Zhao Xiaohua asked again.
"He should be able to, right?" Zhao Dahe’s tone was sowhat unsure, "Mom is very capable, there’s certainly no problem with her protecting herself."
The latter sentence was spoken with more confidence by Zhao Dahe.
Yes, he wasn’t sure about the father who seed to have co back from the dead.
But, he had always had confidence in his mother.
"What can we do?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
"Just do what you should be doing and don’t cause trouble." Zhao Dahe said, "You should still go to the Hundred Herbs Hall."
Zhao Xiaohua glanced at Zhao Dahe, "You don’t need to stay and take care of you?"
Zhao Dahe shook his head, "Can I not take care of myself? Besides, it’s not like I’m alone."
"Second brother, the exam is in three days." Zhao Xiaohua said, "You..."
Zhao Xiaohua’s tone was cautious.
Her second brother had been the top candidate in the county examination and was initially a popular contender for the top spot again.
But now...
Zhao Dahe stood up in Zhao Xiaohua’s shocked gaze and walked over to her without any hindrance.
"So, what are you worried about?" Zhao Dahe asked.
Zhao Xiaohua slightly opened her mouth, "Did mom heal you? People say it takes a hundred days for bones to nd, second brother, don’t overdo it."
Even if their mother’s dical skills were excellent, it shouldn’t be possible for her second brother’s fractured bone to heal in just a few days without affecting his walking.
"I’m not overdoing it." Zhao Dahe said.
Zhao Xiaohua was a bit puzzled.
"Your second brother’s leg wasn’t broken." Yun Ying said calmly.
Huh?
Zhao Xiaohua blinked.
"I tied sandbags to my leg to cushion the impact, it was only a flesh wound." Zhao Dahe explained, "It wasn’t intentionally kept a secret, it was mom who worried that soone might have done it on purpose and told to play along."
Zhao Xiaohua quickly ran to the door, looked around, and there was no one.
She quickly ca back, closed the door, "Then why did you get up, sit down quickly. If soone with ill intentions sees you, what will you do if sothing happens again?"
Her face showed unconcealed concern for Zhao Dahe.
"Those with ill intentions can hardly protect themselves now, how could they care about ? So, it’s okay." Zhao Dahe said.
"Still, be cautious, if there’s a slight chance, we shouldn’t take risks. Second brother, I won’t go to the Hundred Herbs Hall these three days, I’ll take care of you at ho. Anyway, with mom not here, what we need to do is consolidate what mom taught us before. These can be consolidated anywhere." Zhao Xiaohua said.
"Do as you please." Zhao Dahe said, it didn’t matter to him, anything would do.
"Just in ti for the exam, Wen Nuan also needs to pay more attention to her brother." Zhao Xiaohua said.
Zhao Xiaohua went to the Hundred Herbs Hall, found Lu Luoxing, and told her that her mother wasn’t missing, but just left for a few days for important matters, so she needed to go back to take care of Zhao Dahe.
Lu Luoxing asked if there was anything she needed help with, Zhao Xiaohua thanked her and said no.
Lu Luoxing told her to feel free to ask for help if needed.
Zhao Xiaohua agreed to everything and then left the Hundred Herbs Hall.
Just as she left the street of the Hundred Herbs Hall, Zhao Xiaohua was stopped.
"Senior Sister." Lu Tiannan called out to Zhao Xiaohua with a smile.
"Oh, Junior Brother, aren’t you consolidating your studies at the Hundred Herbs Hall, why are you out here? Does Ah Xing know?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
"I’ve mastered what Master taught, so I ca out for a walk." Lu Tiannan said, "As for Ah Xing, our statuses are equal, there’s no need for reporting. If there’s any reporting, it’s to Senior Sister, after all, you’re my Senior Sister."
Zhao Xiaohua nodded, "Oh, then continue your walk."
Mom also said, this Lu Tiannan indeed has talent, all those things, if she could learn them, there’s no reason others can’t.
Lu Tiannan: ...
Can’t she see he’s trying to strike up a conversation?
"Senior Sister, what are you up to?" Lu Tiannan asked.
"Oh, going back." Zhao Xiaohua’s tone was distant.
Mom said, this Lu Tiannan has too many thoughts, told her to keep so distance.
"Is our Senior Brother’s leg well?" Lu Tiannan changed the topic.
Zhao Xiaohua instantly beca alert; her second brother just said his leg wasn’t broken, and Lu Tiannan promptly asked if it was healed, with ulterior motives.
Otherwise, why would he ask such a thing?
He also studies dicine, how could he not know it takes a hundred days for bones to heal?
"Do you think it should be well or not?" Zhao Xiaohua retorted to Lu Tiannan.
Lu Tiannan was confused, he’s not her second brother, how would he know what to think?
Zhao Xiaohua looks smart and pretty, she seems bright in dical studies, but in private, she’s not very smart?
"What do I think? I, of course, think it should be well. After all, Master is skilled in dicine." Lu Tiannan thought, he should just pick pleasant words to say.
Indeed!
Zhao Xiaohua discreetly put so distance between herself and Lu Tiannan.
"I’ve got matters to attend to, so I’ll head back first, you take your ti walking." After finishing, Zhao Xiaohua lifted her skirt and sprinted away.
Lu Tiannan dumbfoundedly watched Zhao Xiaohua quickly run off into the distance, as if sothing monstrous were chasing her.
Monstrous?
Isn’t he right behind her?
What did he do to be regarded as a monstrous threat by Zhao Xiaohua?
No, does she have a problem?
Lu Tiannan stomped his foot hard, he was rely trying to make a move on Zhao Xiaohua and then pull ng Yao from Lu Luoxing’s camp to his side, why was it so difficult?
At the Hundred Herbs Hall, Lu Luoxing always wants to keep an eye on him, leaving him no opportunity.
Now out of the Hundred Herbs Hall, Lu Tiannan felt that with his charm, winning over Zhao Xiaohua would be easy.
After all, in the Capital City, he was much liked by the girls.
Who can tell him what charm works on those with a problem in the head?
Zhao Xiaohua ran back in one breath, straight into Zhao Dahe’s room.
"Second brother, that Lu Tiannan has issues!" Although Zhao Xiaohua was gasping for breath, she still accurately conveyed her ssage.
"You noticed too?" Zhao Dahe asked.
He had noticed that day at the Hundred Herbs Hall, that Lu Tiannan was fond of showing off in front of his mother and Xiaohua.
Showing undue attention could an deceit or mischief.
Not to ntion Zhao Xiaohua’s personality, just looking at her appearance, she looked quite fetching.
The first ti he saw Lu Tiannan, he felt he had ulterior motives.
But seeing Xiaohua, she seed oblivious, feeling nothing.
Now she suddenly felt sothing, could it be that Lu Tiannan showed his true colors?
"What did he do to you?" Zhao Dahe stood up with a start, looking worried, with mom not here, he felt obligated to look after his sister.
