Chapter 74 - What's Different

“Zhao Yingying!” In a daze, Zhao Yingying heard her big brother’s heart-wrenching and shrill cry, “Yingying, Yingying, wake up, Yingying!”

When Zhao Yingying opened her eyes, she only saw Zhao Ruifeng squatting by her bed, holding her hand and trembling. Her big brother, who had always been calm, had cold hands, and his face was no longer calm.

“Big brother!” Zhao Yingying burst into tears, holding Zhao Ruifeng and not letting go. She was crying with snot and tears, but her appearance was more vivid than when she was lying there as if she was no longer breathing. “Why didn’t you come earlier? Why didn’t you come earlier? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time…” Zhao Yingying cried and cried, but her voice suddenly faded. She realized that she was still an unmarried young lady of the Zhao family, Jiang Si was a scholar who had yet to enter Jing City, and Zhao Panpan had yet to marry the crown prince, Dong Sheng. Zhao Yingying was a little confused. She felt like she was in a dream, and everything in the dream felt like she had experienced it personally. The situation was similar to a dream, but it was not quite the same. For example, She had never seen Jiang Si’s sister in her dream. Only Jiang Si met Zhao Panpan for the first time on the grandstand and lost her life. In her dream, the lady with heaven-defying luck who had drawn the best lot in the temple was not there. If it was a dream, then she had never seen the people of Happy Town before. It could only be said that something had started to change in the dark. It was as if something had gone wrong and everything had deviated from the path of fate.

“Don’t be afraid, big brother is here. Yingying, where are you feeling uncomfortable? I’ll get a doctor to take a look at you, okay?” Zhao Ruifeng saw that Zhao Yingying gradually regained consciousness, and his heart was immediately relieved.

Zhao Yingying did not know if she should tell Zhao Ruifeng about her dream. After all, the dream was too bizarre, and the current events seemed to be very different from the dream.

“Big brother, don’t you think that Miss Jiang Xi is very lucky?” Zhao Yingying paused and asked Zhao Ruifeng with a trembling voice. She remembered that in her dream, only Jiang Xi had not appeared from the beginning to the end.

“Yes, she’s the luckiest person I’ve ever seen in my life.” Zhao Ruifeng said indifferently.

“It would be great if Jiang Xi could become my sister-in-law. Our family would be very interesting. Zhao Yingying lowered her eyes. Yes, it would be interesting if Jiang Xi became her sister-in-law. How did Jiang Si, the Zhao family in Jing City, Xiao Meili, and Zhao Panpan enjoy everything with a clear conscience in her dream? Jiang Si had even burned her and her child alive! Zhao Yingying’s heart ached so much that tears were about to fall again. Her whole body was trembling. It was clearly just a dream, but she felt so much pain.

“You… You’re probably sick. With Jiang Xi’s personality, she’ll definitely be eaten alive by Xiao Meili and her friends if she gets married to someone in our family.” The corner of Zhao Ruifeng’s mouth twitched. He only felt that Zhao Yingying was obsessed with thinking about having a sister-in-law. The Zhao family in Jing City was a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. Zhao Panpan would be the one to enter the Eastern Palace in the future and would be extremely noble. He was afraid that the Zhao family would be even more chaotic in the future. Jiang Xi was an extremely innocent and naïve farmer’s girl. What was the difference between marrying into the Zhao family and giving away her life?

Zhao Yingying grinned. She did not believe that Jiang Xi would be killed by Xiao Meili and the others. Jiang Xi was different. Zhao Yingying firmly believed in her. She trusted Jiang Xi very much.

After Zhao Yingying’s serious illness, she had seen through the part of her that belonged to her. This little girl who did not know much about the world changed and lacked the aura of a young, innocent girl. Her entire life in her dream had been ruined by Jiang Si and the Zhao family!

During this time, Zhao Yingying, who had been recuperating at home, was about to invite Jiang Xi over to play when she heard a tender voice from the garden. “Can you stop asking me? My fingers are all broken!” The little boy was furious and furrowed his brows. “I told you, I met a bull! That bull keeps chasing me! How else can I be injured?” The boy’s voice was flustered and exasperated. “What can I do? I also tried to subdue that bull! I’ve been learning from my master since I was two years old. Do you think it’s a joke? I’m an acupoint striking master! However, how would I know that the acupuncture points of a cow are different from that of a human? If I knew, I wouldn’t have gotten my bones broken by the bull’s hoof!”

The little boy shouted and rushed out of the garden, directly hitting Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Yingying wondered, ‘Why did the crown prince of the neighboring country come to their house?’

Before Zhao Yingying was knocked unconscious, she could only remember in her dream that the crown prince of the neighboring country had come to their country to pay his respects, but he had disappeared halfway. At that time, his portrait was all over the country, and even Jiang Si had sent people out to search for him for a period of time.
