As for Jiaojiao shielding a sword, she'd only heard about it from the servants. She didn't know whether it was true or not.
At times, she found it rather unlikely, having once tested Jiaojiao, who had given this matter no thought whatsoever.
Perhaps it was true as the servants claimed that after her severe illness, Jiaojiao had lost her memory and forgotten about it.
Anyway, everyone in the mansion had their own version of the story. When she asked her mother, her mother refused to say anything and, annoyed by her questioning, denied the incident.
Chen Hua frowned, "You should learn from Jiaojiao. It's all a matter of our parents' decree and the matchmaker's words. Look how good Jiaojiao's life is now."
This statement annoyed Chen Luo. She immediately retorted, "Jiaojiao chose her husband from childhood, holding onto him and not allowing anyone else to touch, just like a cat protecting its food. When grown up, she has the approval of her parents. Doesn't that fulfill her wish?"
