Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 161 Zhao Junning Wakes Up

At the Li Mansion, Zhao Junning, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes and looked around. "Madam, you are awake. I will go call the doctor."

"Doctor, how is Jun Ning?" Meng Xiangning asked, "Don't worry, Madam, Madam Li is fine. She just needs to rest more in the next few days." After hearing what the doctor said, Meng Xiangning finally let go of her worries and walked to the bedside to sit down, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Does it hurt? Such a long dagger, so much blood, and your hand, you said it was okay, but mother felt bad." She wiped her tears. Xu Zhiwan, who was boiling medicine in the kitchen and heard Zhao Junning wake up, came over with the medicine, "Junning, you are awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mother-in-law, I'm fine. Look, I'm really fine. I'm young and I recover quickly." As she said that, she was about to stand up and push Meng Xiangning back.

"Okay, okay, you're recovering fast, so I don't need to worry about you. Just lie down and rest."

Xu Zhiwan walked forward and handed the bowl of medicine to Meng Xiangning, "It's a little bitter since it was freshly brewed, so I've got you a piece of candy." Ever since she knew that Zhao Junning risked her life for Li Ziyan, Xu Zhiwan has liked Zhao Junning, and now she treats Zhao Junning like her own daughter.

Meng Xiangning looked at Xu Zhiwan. Xu Zhiwan felt a pain in her heart and didn't know how to start. Fuling and Gancao at the door also felt sorry for Zhao Junning.

Meng Xiangning and Xu Zhiwan were now certain that Zhao Junning was hiding something from them, and that she had to know about it.

Xu Zhiwan asked, "Jun Ning, how did you get the injury on your hand? Tell mother." Xu Zhiwan looked at Meng Xiangning as she spoke. Her mother's heart was broken by seeing her daughter suffer such a severe punishment. She looked at the two of them with red eyes and sickly pink cheeks.

Meng Xiangning held Zhao Junning's hand and rubbed it for a long time. "Junning, you have also learned medical skills. The ten fingers are connected to the heart. How come you came back with injuries after going to the palace?"

Zhao Junning said without saying anything, feeling very guilty, "Mom, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"How can it not hurt? From the time you were born until now, your father and I have never been willing to hit you, and we have never even said a harsh word to you. You are the daughter of a great general of the Great Wei. What right do they have to torture you? What excuse do they use? It's simply because you and Zi Yan are married and in love, which has made them jealous." Meng Xiangning was naturally angry.

"Jun Ning, don't listen to what others say. You are the best girl. I have recognized you as my daughter-in-law, so no one can say anything, even if it's the queen."

Zhao Junning looked at the two with red eyes, "Mom, don't worry, I really don't feel any pain anymore, really."

……

In the garden at night, Zhao Junning was wearing a cloak and looking at the night sky. Her complexion had not fully recovered because her eyes were a little swollen after crying for a long time. "Madam, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

Zhao Junning looked at Fuling and said, "Do you think I am very lucky?"

"You are not lucky, but you are a good girl. God bless you."

Zhao Junning looked up at the sky and thought about his previous life, he said in his heart: Yes, God had mercy on me and gave me this life so that I am not bound by my identity.

"Ma'am, don't be sad. The doctor said you are still young and it is most important to take good care of yourself."

Zhao Junning smiled and shed tears, "Yes, I am still young, but I just can't accept it. A life is gone like this, and she hasn't even seen her parents yet."

At night, the full moon was high in the sky, and Zhao Junning was standing in the yard wearing a cloak. "Young Madam, you just woke up. It's cold at night." Gancao ran over and said when he saw Zhao Junning standing in the yard.

Zhao Junning shook his head and said, "I've slept for so long, I've had enough sleep, I'm going to get some fresh air."

The next day, Zhao Junning was no longer as listless as yesterday, and her complexion had recovered. "You mean Zi Yan wants to bet on the humanity of Qin Zhuoyuan and the prince?"

Zhao Junning listened to what Lin Muchen and Xu Wenhe said and said, "Yeah, I don't know what he is thinking. Qin Zhuoyuan is completely different now than before. I think Li Ziyan must have made a wrong bet on human nature." Zhou Aoyang sighed.

Zhao Junning took a sip of tea and said, "I think Zi Yan can make the right bet. I believe in him and I will bet with him on the humanity of both of them."
