Wu Sili smiled slightly and explained: "My family has always been like this. One of the Wu family's mottos is not to look down on the servants in the mansion. They all come to the mansion to beg for food, and it is not easy for them."
Zhang Tingruo smiled and nodded, saying nothing.
The group of people walked forward, but before they entered the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion, they saw a short, fat, kind-faced middle-aged man walking quickly, accompanied by Wu Xiaoer.
"My baby son is back! Hahahaha! Let daddy see if you have lost weight?"
The person who came was none other than Wu Sili's father, Wu Chengye. He grabbed Wu Sili's arm, looked left and right, and muttered something.
"Well! It seems that Shangzong is indeed a place to raise people. He is a lot fatter than when he left home!"
Wu Sili's face was red, he struggled out of his father's arms, coughed twice, and introduced Wang Tiezhu and his party to Wu Chengye.
"Dad, this is my senior brother, Wang Tiezhu, this is..."
After the introduction, Wang Tiezhu and the others also bowed politely to Wu Chengye, who was very happy to see Wu Chengye.
"Oh my! This is the first time in my life that so many people from the Immortal Sect have called me uncle. Come on! Follow me into the main hall!"
After saying that, Wu Chengye took Wu Sili's arm and walked towards the inner courtyard first, whispering as he walked.
"Son! Of the two girls you brought back this time, which one is my future daughter-in-law? I think both are good! You have to take advantage of it!"
Although his voice was already very low, in front of Wang Tiezhu and a group of cultivators, it did not cover up at all, and everyone could hear it very clearly.
Wu Sili, who knew the inside story, turned red, like a boiler that had been burning for a long time.
"Dad! Don't talk nonsense. One of those two is the cousin of my senior brother Wang, and the other is the second lady of the largest cultivation family in Dongzhou! There is no future daughter-in-law of yours!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengye had a look of resentment on his face, and quietly glanced at Ye Huanxi and Liu Weizhi, before turning back and continuing to speak to Wu Sili.
"What about my future daughter-in-law? You have to hurry up! Although you have become an immortal master, I am not. I still want to live a life of raising grandchildren for a few more years! You must bring one for me next time you come back! Otherwise
I don’t have a son like you!”
"Dad! That's what you said. I'll give you a few bottles of pills later. After you take them, I'm sure you'll live a long life. Don't talk about having grandchildren by then. You can have any grandchildren you want!"
Listening to the whispers between Wu's father and Wu Sili, Wang Tiezhu and others couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Huanxi looked at the intimate father and son in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and said in a daze.
"I really envy Senior Brother Zhang and Sili. Their home is warm and harmonious..."
Wang Tiezhu's perception was extremely sharp and he heard her low murmur.
"Why did Junior Sister Ye say this?"
Ye Huanxi was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that Wang Tiezhu had heard what he was saying to himself, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.
"It's okay, it's okay! It's just me talking to myself, senior brother Wang, don't take it to heart!"
After saying that, she immediately moved away from Wang Tiezhu and pulled Liu Weizhi towards the side.
Wang Tiezhu looked at Ye Huanxi's back and nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, the group arrived at the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion.
The Wu family is a worldly family, and the decorations in their home are not as good as those of the Zhou family and Zhang Tingruo family in Yuhua City, but they have a more human atmosphere than those two families, which does not have a different flavor.
The moment Father Wu heard that Wu Sili had returned, he immediately asked people to prepare meals. They chatted in the main hall for a while and then ate together.
I originally planned to leave after dinner, but I couldn't bear Wu's father's warm invitation to stay, so I had to prepare to leave tomorrow.
As night falls, stars are dotted in the dark sky.
Ye Huanxi sat alone on the roof of the attic, holding his knees with his hands, staring at the starry sky in ecstasy, his eyes shining with light, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey! It's really hard to get to the top of this building!"
Suddenly a voice came from behind her. When she looked back, it was Wang Tiezhu.
"Senior Brother Wang? How did you get up here?"
Wang Tiezhu sat down next to her with a smile and said, "What? Junior sister Ye wants to monopolize this starry sky?"
Ye Huanxi blushed, shook her head, and remained silent.
"Junior sister Ye, is the atmosphere in your house... very serious?"
"Huh? Why does Senior Brother Wang suddenly ask like this?"
Wang Tiezhu lay back, put his arms under his head, and looked at the starry sky above his head.
"When you were at Tingruo's house, your state was not right. Today, when I met Uncle Wu and Sili, you said those words again, so I'm wondering if it's because your upbringing is very strict, so...
"
Ye Huanxi lowered his head silently and whispered.
"Well... Since Senior Brother Wang will also go to my house, it is only a matter of time before he knows these things. However, my family has very strict upbringing. My father originally wanted to have a son to inherit the Ye family.
But the first child was a daughter, and the second child was a daughter. My mother lost her vitality when giving birth to me and could not have another child, so my father placed the future of the Ye family on my sister and me."
"We have been told since we were young that only one of the two can take charge of the Ye family, and that person must be the best one, so the relationship between my sister and I is not like sisters at all, but more like rivals or even enemies.
Because my sister is a few years older than me and became sensible earlier, she is better at many things than me. In the eyes of others, she is already the future head of the Ye family."
"But I am not willing to give in. Why should I always live in the shadow of my sister? Why can I take charge of the Ye family just because she is a few years older than me?
So I chose to come to the North alone and join the Litian Sword Sect, just to prove that even without the help of my family, I can do better and be better than my sister!"
Wang Tiezhu quietly listened to the voice of the beautiful woman next to him, his eyes twinkling.
After a long time, he finally spoke.
"Actually, what you are not willing to accept is not that your sister will be in charge of the Ye family in the future, but that she does not treat you as a sister..."
Hearing this, Ye Huanxi was stunned and turned to look at Wang Tiezhu.
"I...you...how did you know..."
Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "When you were talking just now, there was a sister on the left and a sister on the right. If you really regarded her as a competitor, you would definitely not call her that.
And what you envy is not the power as the head of the family, but the harmonious and beautiful family atmosphere, so I guessed that way."
Ye Huanxi stared at Wang Tiezhu blankly, his eyes suddenly twinkling with starlight.
Seeing this, Wang Tiezhu sat up and was about to offer words of comfort, but unexpectedly she fell into his arms and started sobbing softly.
