Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since Xie Yunhe had given the order, Steward Pang could only accept his fate and prepared a residence for the two of them.
However, Old Master did not specify where they would stay. If it was up to him,
ne could torget about arranging a good Place tor tnem.
He brought the two of them to the small courtyard in the most remote part of the residence—West Wind Courtyard.
Mei Ji frowned in disdain. “Are you asking for a beating?
Steward Pang chuckled and said, ‘Master didn’t acknowledge your ident.i.ties. When we find out the truth later, he will chase you out! It’s already a bargain for you to stay here! ”
Killing intent flashed in Mei Ji’s eyes.
“Mei Ji.” Su Xiaoxiao stopped her.
Mei Ji snorted coldly and entered the courtyard without looking back.
Steward Pang looked at her back and frowned inexplicably.
Was it an illusion just now?
The back of his head suddenly turned cold.
Steward Pang left after bringing them in, not even giving Su Xiaoxiao a maidservant.
Mei Ji looked at the courtyard on the ground and was in a dilemma. “Mei Ji has never lived in such a bad courtyard!”
She thought of something and added, “After leaving the island with Sir.”
On the island, her days with the a.s.sa.s.sin were very bitter. After Master saved them, he did not let them live a bitter day.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the central room and wiped her fingertips on the table. Looking at her clean fingers, she said to Mei Ji, “It’s quite clean inside. Come in. ”
The Cheng family was huge and the servants were diligent. There should be people coming here to clean often. As for the fallen leaves outside, they might not have cleaned that area today.
Su Xiaoxiao was right. Less than 15 minutes later, a servant came to clean the courtyard.
When the servant saw the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar girl, she was stunned for a moment before running out.
She was probably going to ask someone about the situation.
After returning, the servant did not say a word and silently swept the courtyard.
The two of them sat down in the central room.
Mei Ji thought of Steward Pang and snorted. “They are so stuck-up. You don’t even have a maidservant to order around. ‘
Su Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea on the table and sniffed it. “It’s good that no one comes over. It’s quiet and convenient to do things.”
“That’s true.” Mei Ji lay on the rattan chair at the side and shook it. “Anyway, our goal is to pick herbs and find someone.”
The Cheng family’s relationship with the Holy Maiden Lady Temple was not fake.
After getting the herbs from the Holy Maiden Temple, Sir would be saved.
Thinking of this, Mei Ji suddenly felt that this courtyard was not so dilapidated.
Mei Ji was happy, but someone was unhappy.
“What did you say? My father didn’t chase them out? He left them behind?”
After hearing the maidservant’s report, the girl’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How did this happen?”
The maidservant was afraid that her mistress would flare up and said fearfully,
“Master said… to investigate that woman’s ident.i.ty.”
The girl said angrily, “What’s there to investigate? Back then, my aunt gave birth to a stillborn child. How could she have come back to life? It’s such a coincidence that the entire family died from the epidemic, leaving only a little girl in her teens. Since there was an epidemic, why was she spared?” The maidservant said awkwardly, “This… I don’t know either.”
How could they, as servants, guess what Old Master was thinking?
Cheng Lian had a calm expression and said in a normal tone, “Alright, your father must have his reasons for doing this.”
The girl asked unhappily, “What reasons?”
Cheng Lian smiled at her daughter and said, “I guess your father doesn’t want them to spout nonsense outside. It would have been fine in the past, but now that the Holy Selection of the Holy Maiden Temple is imminent, many eyes are on our Cheng family. It’s better not to teach them a lesson at this juncture.” The girl stomped her feet and muttered, “Mother always speaks up for Father!”
Cheng Lian glared at her daughter and said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “If I don’t side with your father, do I have to side with a ruffian girl like you? You and your sister clearly came out of my womb. Your personalities are worlds apart!”
The girl said gloomily, “I don’t care. I’m going to find Dad and ask him to chase out that girl who pretended to be from the Cheng family!”
She left angrily.
The servant girl looked at Madam worriedly.
Cheng Lian only lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea unhurriedly.
On the other side, Yuchi Xiu, who had entered the capital first, found Ghostfear and Wei Liulang through the secret signal left behind by their people.
When Wei Ting was still at the border, he had already sent a secret guard over to contact the two of them and tell them the whereabouts of the Snake Bone Flower.
The two of them did not expect someone else to come, and it was Yuchi Xiu.
“Yuchi Xiu, why are you in the southern border?” Wei Liulang asked in surprise.
Yuchi Xiu said, “I’m not the only one who’s here. Everyone is here! I probably entered the city a day earlier than them. I happened to spend a day looking for you. Calculating the time, the others should have entered the capital.”
Wei Ting had entered from the north city gate. He had also left a secret signal along the way.
The three of them returned to the north city gate and followed the secret signal to find the residence of Wei Ting and the others.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wei Liulang saw the three little ones holding brushes and scribbling on the ground with water.
He was excited. “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu!”
The three of them turned around, threw away their pens, and pounced at him.
“Sixth Uncle Daddy!”
The three of them should call him Sixth Elder Uncle.
However, before they acknowledged him, they followed Wei Xiyue and called him Sixth younger Uncle. They were used to it. Later on, Wei Liulang became their father for a day. From then on, Sixth Uncle Daddy became the exclusive address for Wei Liulang.
Wei Liulang knelt on one knee, his arms filled with the three little fellows. His heart swelled, and he was speechless.
“Sixth Uncle Daddy, it hurts too much when you hug Xiaohu.”
Xiaohu, who was sandwiched between his two brothers, could only move his eyes.
Wei Liulang hurriedly let go of the three little fellows. They had been separated for too long. He missed them too much. He couldn’t hug or see enough.
“Let Sixth Uncle see if you’ve grown taller.”
“Dahu has grown taller.”
“Erhu has also grown taller.”
Xiaohu tried his best to stand on his tiptoes and compete with his two brothers.
“Xiaohu is the tallest!”
Wei Liulang smiled. Why did he still have his strange accent?
The three of them jumped around happily in Wei Liulang’s arms, their small voices shouting.
Wei Liulang did not mind the noise. He shouted with them.
He successfully dodged three little farts.
After entering the central room, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He planned to look for Wei Qing and Wei Ting at the back.
Unexpectedly, just as he crossed the back threshold of the central room, he saw a beautiful little girl dressed in the southern border squatting on the ground and smashing walnuts.
On the way, the pine nuts were finished, leaving only walnuts.
Wei Xiyue wanted to feed Xiao Bai with walnuts.
When Ghostfear saw Wei Xiyue, he felt terrible!
Yuchi Xiu only said that the children were here, but he didn’t say that this girl was also here!
The fear of being dominated by the carrot surged.
Ghostfear trembled and ran…
Wei Xiyue turned to the house and said, “Dad, Uncle ran away.”
Ghostfear muttered,” You’re even complaining!”
