Chapter 222 Restless

At noon, Zhou's maid returned and told Zhou that a four-year-old girl from the Ruo Family in Xishui Village, Ruo Xuan, had been conferred the title of Commandery Princess by The Emperor.

Zhou stood there in a daze, aware that Xishui Village had only one Ruo Family and only one Ruo Xuan.

How could Ruo Xuan, that simple child, have been bestowed the title of Commandery Princess?

After her shock subsided, the sole thought in Zhou's mind was: had she not left the Ruo Family to remarry Zhang Ting, what would her situation be now? She would now be the great aunt of the Commandery Princess.

Filled with envy after this thought crossed her mind,

with the recent efforts to eradicate the remnants of the previous dynasty, barracks were recruiting soldiers these past two months. Zhang Ting had returned and informed her that Ruo Hai had enlisted and would soon rejoin the barracks.
