She hadn't seen Zhao Ruo for quite some times now, but this time she saw her dressed as a woman, with a jade white top and a skirt of the same color, with a few red roses embroidered at the corners of the skirt. 

Since Meng Yun was accompanying her, she must have returned to her mother's house to walk around. It seemed that Meng Yun was affectionate and righteous to Zhao Ruo, and he would actually accompany one of her concubines back to her parents' house.

But it was none of her business. Seeing that Zhao Ruo didn't have a good relationship with her, she didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said to Lu Zhu and Qing Luo, "Let's go and see the old lady first."

Zhao Ruo looked at the back of Zhao Ling as she walked away, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes became extremely sinister. This woman had caused her to lose her child, the position of the main concubine of the prince, and the favor of the prince. All this, she would definitely ask of her when she would be back from wherever she was going now.

Meng Yun, on the other hand, stared at Zhao Ling's departure direction, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Concubine Xuan's righteous act of saving people and breaking into a cult stronghold by herself had long been spread in the capital. Out of curiosity, she heard Zhao Ruo mention that Zhao Ling had arrived home today, so he made an excuse to accompany her to the palace to have a look. 

Who would have thought that he would be able to see Zhao Ling with such a beautiful and lovely face.

Was this the eldest lady of the imperial affiliated Zhao's mansion who was divorced from her marriage? Didn't Ruo say that she was stupid and was burnt and disfigured by the fire? He was told she had been covered with a veil when she saw her a few times before, and it seemed that she was practically invisible. But why was her true face so enchanting, and alluring?

At this moment, he really regretted his rash actions.

Madame. Shen still lived in the Buddhist hall, reciting sutras and worshipping the Buddha all day, without asking about world affairs. But Mother Ning occasionally told her about Zhao Ling.

She has also heard a little about the recent rumors in the capital about Princess Xuan who did not allow her men, but went into a cult's den by herself. Seeing Zhao Ling coming to see her at this moment, she really put down the Buddha beads and chatted with her for a long time.

Zhao Ling also respectfully told the old lady what happened in Suzhou and Wuji Island. She was not good at telling stories, but for the old lady and mother Ning who lived in the country all the year round, these things that happened on Wuji Island were unheard of, and they could be regarded as twists and turns of fate. 

It was interesting, and after talking about it, they felt like it was still unfinished.

After coming out of the Buddhist hall, Zhao Ling went to see Zhao Jiang and Cui Shi again. Although she didn't like these two people very much, she would not forget the proper etiquette of greeting her father and stepmother.

When Cui Shi saw her, she naturally still had that venomous expression of wanting to eat her raw. However, Zhao Ling had a smile on his face which Zhao Ling knew It was rare of her father. So naturally, he mentioned the recent rumors about her in the capital.

Zhao Ling felt really helpless. She remembered the old saying that "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong".

Zhao Ling knew she couldn't afford to spoil the happy mood of her father, so she briefly explained what happened in Suzhou, of course, very briefly. Soon afterwards, she left her parents' place.

On her way back, she met Zhao Mingxuan dragging his mother, Aunt Sun, over to see her. Zhao Mingxuan had always admired this eldest sister, but now that he heard these rumors, he felt more and more that Zhao Ling was invincible in the world.

He looked at her with adoring eyes, causing Zhao Ling to think that her whole body was covered in the halo. Maybe she had become a god.

However, the gossip ability of the people in the capital really surprised her. It was a natural thing for her to force Wuji Religion to hand over the antidote in Xie Mansion that day, and it was rumored to be unremarkable after going back and forth.

The kind of sacrifice to save people, righteousness, and the rest, was said to be of a revolutionary martyr who gave her life generously. What was more, It seemed that there were rumors that she had superb medical skills and peerless martial arts, and could bring the dead back to life.

Zhao Ling sighed helplessly. Sure enough, three people became tigers or four lions became humans. She had seen the power of public opinion.

All the necessary etiquettes were done, and seeing that it was already evening, Zhao Ling finally returned to the small courtyard where she lived, Feng-He-Yuan, ot Wind Lotus courtyard.

During her absence, Mammy Xu and Qingluo kept the place in good order. Zhao Ling took a bath, washed away the dust, and then let Qingluo make a pot of tea, sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, feeling refreshed and refreshed, and the tiredness of the journey of the past few days was swept away. 

"Qingluo, your tea making skills are getting better and better." Zhao Ling took a sip of tea, sighed contentedly, and turned her head to praise her.

Qingluo smiled lightly, and bowed her body at Zhao Ling, her movements were somewhat elegant and calm.

Alas, what a pity, such a beautiful and smart girl was actually dumb. Zhao Ling sighed inwardly.

Wind Lotus Courtyard, as the name suggests, the lotus flowers in the courtyard must be indispensable. Now was the midsummer season, and the lotus flowers in the pond in the courtyard were blooming just right.

In the pond full of green plants, there were pink lotus flowers standing tall, just like the stars and the moon.
