Vol 7 Chapter 19 (2/2)

“Oh oh, it’s that young lady.” The old man received the money and stuff it in his pocket without counting it, “I wasn’t feeling well these few days so I was resting at home.”

When she heard this, Sun Quan looked worried and squatted down a she held her hands in front of her chest, “Then how is uncle feeling now?”

“Ah, much better now.”

“Really! Then that’s great.” When she heard he was fine, she tilted her head and gave a bright, cute smile.

In reality, Sun Quan and the old man only met once but she could connect with him so easily and she genuinely cared for him. This was really surprising to me, and it was one good side of this era I have seen so far.

But now that I think about it, where are the rest? Leaving aside Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Chen Wu should be around somewhere…

I looked about and not far away, a small figure jolted when my eyes moved. It seemed nervous for a moment before disappearing shortly afterwards.

Looks like she’s still nearby, just a little more stealthy.

“Oh right, Imperial Uncle. Do you know why big sis slipped into a coma?”

“Eh?” I was surprised at this sudden question by Sun Quan.

You don’t know? I wanted to ask her this, but since she asked me, then it was clear that she didn’t know.

“What did Lord Zhou Yu and the rest tell you?”

“They said that her wound got infected and she had a high fever… But I feel like that isn’t the case.”

Her intuition is pretty sharp huh.

“The truth is as they said it was. There were some issues with her wound so no need to doubt them.”

Since Zhou Yu and the rest chose not to tell her the truth, then all the more I shouldn’t. Some things were best kept to as few people as possible.

“Alright, since Imperial Uncle said so, then it must be so.” Sun Quan smiled at me as she said so, leading to an acute sense of guilt. I smiled back and didn’t say any further.

Just then, a breeze blew by. It wasn’t chilly, but warm, the sort of warmth that was comfortable.

“That’s a spring breeze right?” Sun Quan felt comfortable from the breeze as well, and raised her hands excitedly.

“Yes, it’s a spring breeze.” I replied as I looked at Sun Quan.

Her path to being a ruler has only just begun but she’s definitely not inferior to me.

Because she has a warm and kind heart.
