After Zhao Xiaohua arrived in the Capital City, she always seemed very obedient. But is she really obedient at heart? Originally, they had the patience to speak to this little girl, but eventually, they got so impatient that a few harsh words made her cry. Lu Luoxing was brought in, and as he knew the girl, he comforted her and personally escorted her away. Not long after, Lu Tiannan came. He started scolding Zhao Xiaohua indiscriminately. Zhao Xiaohua was very annoyed, were they all mentally unsound? She didn’t bother arguing with Lu Tiannan and swiftly reached out, pinching his chin and tossing a pill into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it. Lu Tiannan wanted to ask Zhao Xiaohua what she had given him. However, to his horror, he found that he couldn’t make any sound. "You see, if you like your little childhood sweetheart, then go focus on her wholeheartedly. Don’t come here to curry favor with me whenever you feel like it." Zhao Xiaohua said coldly, her chin slightly raised. "Don’t think that just because I’m from the countryside, I’ll throw myself at someone like you who appears decent with a good family background. Someone like you, Auntie, I am not interested in." Zhao Xiaohua pouted. It’s not like she hasn’t seen handsome guys before. Lu Tiannan, at least in terms of looks, didn’t have much of an advantage. As for family background, her father was at least a third-rank General, and if she returned to the Zhao Family, her status wouldn’t be lower than Lu Tiannan’s. Lu Tiannan’s face turned beet red. Furious and ashamed, he attempted to physically confront Zhao Xiaohua.

Lu Tiannan’s forehead was covered in sweat. "Don’t blame me for not warning you, if you don’t get that arm reattached within an hour, it won’t work so well anymore." Zhao Xiaohua said. Lu Tiannan hurried to find a doctor to put it back. However, the pain twisted his face, and the arm couldn’t be relocated. "Oh, I forgot to mention, it’s my mother’s special technique. Ordinary relocation methods won’t work." Zhao Xiaohua said with a smiling tone. Only then did Lu Tiannan feel truly afraid, but he couldn’t bring himself to apologize to Zhao Xiaohua. Zhao Xiaohua didn’t actually intend to cripple Lu Tiannan’s arm, but he must feel the pain so that he would remember not to provoke her again. "Lu Tiannan, today’s matter can’t be blamed on Xiaohua." Lu Luoxing spoke up, "First it was Xun’er, then you, you people don’t treat others ." "If you know you’re wrong, apologize to Xiaohua. For the sake of being classmates, I’ll plead with Xiaohua not to hold it against you." Lu Tiannan clenched his teeth. "Since you don’t need it, I won’t intervene anymore." The extreme pain in his shoulder made it hard for him to hold on. He stubbornly looked for another doctor, but still couldn’t get it relocated. Finally, his eyes showed a pleading expression. If his arm was crippled, how could he compete with Lu Luoxing? "In the future, don’t bother me or your little childhood sweetheart anymore," Zhao Xiaohua said indifferently, "If you can do it, just nod your head." "With so many people here today, let everyone bear witness. If you cause trouble again, don’t blame me for being relentless." Zhao Xiaohua said. Lu Tiannan nodded again. "Don’t hold a ’temporarily agree, settle accounts later’ mindset, Lu Tiannan, I may not be that strong in skills, but I’m very proficient with medicines." Zhao Xiaohua said meaningfully, "Mute Pill, Eye Pill, Deaf Pill, I have them all!" Lu Tiannan nodded again in humiliation. Only then did Zhao Xiaohua relocate Lu Tiannan’s arm. She handed him another pill, "Take it, and you’ll be able to speak." Lu Tiannan stuffed the pill in his mouth; it was quite large and almost choked him, causing him to almost roll his eyes before finally swallowing it. After a little while, Lu Tiannan was finally able to speak. "Lu Tiannan, be careful with your words," Zhao Xiaohua interrupted him. Seeing Zhao Xiaohua’s mocking gaze, Lu Tiannan swallowed back the words that were about to come out, the situation being unfavorable to him, and he had to endure it. Lu Tiannan glared fiercely at Zhao Xiaohua and Lu Luoxing, flicked his sleeve, and left angrily. "Lu Tiannan suffered greatly this time; he is resentful and unlikely to let it go peacefully." Lu Luoxing said, "I’ll send someone to protect you." Zhao Xiaohua looked up at the person speaking. "Brother Yun, why are you here?" Zhao Xiaohua asked. Yun Ying replied expressionlessly, "Just passing by. Lu Manager, please convey a message to that gentleman just now, tell him Xiaohua is my sister." Recently, the Princely Heir of Duke Zhen Country Mansion has been very popular, known by everyone. "Certainly." Lu Luoxing said. With Yun Ying supporting Zhao Xiaohua, if Lu Tiannan dared make trouble, it would mean he was tired of living. "Thank you, Brother Yun." Zhao Xiaohua said with a smile. "No need." Yun Ying said. "When my mother returns, I’ll ask her to make you double-skin milk, Brother Yun." Zhao Xiaohua said, Yun Ying, like Reverend Jiang, loves double-skin milk. "Alright." Yun Ying’s lips formed a slight smile before he turned and left. Zhao Xiaohua, without noticing, began grinding medicine after taking the millstone out, totally unaware that Bao Ping Commandery Princess was glaring at her angrily. The maid beside Bao Ping Commandery Princess struggled to calm her down, left directly without lingering. Upon returning to the Princess Mansion, Bao Ping Commandery Princess went straight to the eldress Princess’s courtyard. Without saying a word, she took out a handkerchief and began wiping her tears. "What’s the matter, crying so hard?" The Princess asked. Bao Ping Commandery Princess remained silent. The maid beside her truthfully reported. The eldress Princess was a bit surprised, "Yun Ying knows that Zhao Xiaohua?" "Not only knows her, but they’re quite familiar." Bao Ping said through gritted teeth. A few days ago, the eldress Princess sent someone to the Duke Mansion to propose marriage, which was rejected. The reason being simple, Yun Ying said he already had a girl he liked. Bao Ping Commandery Princess cried bitterly, remained melancholic for several days, and today, finally persuaded by the maid to go out for a walk, encountered Yun Ying sticking up for Zhao Xiaohua. "Are you suggesting that Yun Ying’s love interest is that Zhao Xiaohua?" The eldress Princess asked uncertainly. "I saw Yun Ying smile at her!" Even though the smile was faint, he did smile. It was her first time seeing Yun Ying smile, yet unfortunately, it wasn’t meant for her but for Zhao Xiaohua, that country girl. "Mother, I don’t care, I want to marry Yun Ying, he can only be mine." Bao Ping clung to the Princess’s hand, acting spoiled, "Mother, that Zhao Xiaohua has bullied me once or twice, you must stand up for me." "Bao Ping, I hope you marry someone who cherishes you," The Princess said earnestly, "Yun Ying is not the right match for you." If it were someone with a low status, she could exert some control. But Yun Ying is the Princely Heir of Duke Zhen Country Mansion, a future Duke, how could she exert any control over someone like him?
