il after a year or two, when things about the Duan family's father and daughter have calmed down, and I have completely incorporated the Duan family's power. By then, I will get to know Yun Siyu, who...Wang Yaohui thought he was mistaken. He rubbed his eyes and, after confirming that he hadn't seen things wrong, called out in a doubtful voice:

"Big sister!"

"It was me."

After receiving a positive response, Wang Yaohui immediately instructed the doorman to move the threshold and allow the carriage to enter the mansion directly.

The ever-watchful guards, who had been trailing behind discreetly, witnessed the scene unfold before them. A flicker of confusion crossed their eyes as they confirmed the carriage safely entered the mansion and the Wang family's gates were firmly shut. Only then did they turn and leave to report this significant development.

Wang Yaohui led Wang Zhenzhen into the main hall, instructing his attendants to inform the old matriarch in the backyard. He had tea served, but he didn't know how to begin.

Though they shared the same father but different mothers, they hadn't seen each other in twenty-five years. If it wasn't for his elder sister's appearance remaining largely unchanged, he definitely wouldn't have recognized her.

And since the other party returned to his home, why was he using my jade pendant He held the jade pendant in his hand, not knowing how to ask.

After entering the Wang family mansion, Liàn Yī took a cursory glance around. He thought that the Wang family truly deserved the title "rich enough to rival a country." The entire courtyard exuded a subtle luxury. It didn't seem ostentatious or flashy, yet everything was a high-quality item. Only someone knowledgeable could tell, for instance, the thin white porcelain teacups used for drinking tea were not ordinary goods.

Wang Zhenzhen returned to her long-lost home. Looking at every familiar yet strange plant and tree, she knew that time had passed and everything was different. The current head of the Wang family was her older brother, but seeing the deep furrows in his brow, she knew he wasn't living an easy life either.

The hall fell silent. Wang Yaozu wanted to speak, but Lian Ri's gaze stopped him. He could only fidget with his sleeve, hoping to catch the attention of his elder brother, but to no avail. The other's attention was entirely focused on Lady Zhen.

Ripple put down her teacup, gave a light cough to break the silence in the room, then took out a contract from her waist pouch and handed it directly to Wang Yaohui, saying with a smile:

“My name is Su Lianyi, from the Su Nü Gong. While training outside, I encountered Wang Yaozu's young master. At that time, he was being pursued and killed, so I drew my sword to help him and saved him. He revealed his identity and hired me to escort him back to the Wang family in Longxi, promising ten thousand gold as a reward. I wonder if Master Wang will keep his promise”

Wang Yaohui's temples jumped twice after hearing Lianyi's words, then he carefully looked at the contract. The signature was indeed his brother's handwriting, and he had even pressed his fingerprint, clearly authentic.

"Since it was my younger brother who signed the agreement, I naturally intend to honor my promise. However, I don't know where Your Ancestor is."

Wang Yaohui decided it was still better to ask for clarification face-to-face.

He was standing there the whole time!

Then ripples pointed to Wang Zhenzhen's position behind her.

Wang Yaozu finally waited for this moment, he immediately opened his mouth and said.

"Big brother, it's me, Yaozhu!"

Unfortunately, the voice coming from the exit was slightly hoarse.

Wang Yaohui looked at the woman before him, not feeling at all that she was his own brother. He immediately turned his gaze to Lianyi.

"Wait a moment, for my brother's safety, I made some disguises. Otherwise, the pursuit would never end, and we wouldn't be able to reach Longxi now."

Ripples stood up and wiped Wang Yaizu's face, then took off the human skin mask. She then gave him a pill to swallow.

After all these actions were completed, Wang Ya Zuo also recovered his original appearance and his voice returned to normal.

"Big brother, it's really me. This disguise is just a temporary measure."

He said somewhat sheepishly.

Just make sure you come back safely. Change your clothes and come see me again.

Wang YaoHui thought that the pink dress was a bit eye-catching.

"Yes!"

Wang Yaozu turned and ran. He also wanted to know why his elder brother called Madam Zhen "elder sister". Madam Zhen said she was going home to visit relatives. Could the Wang family be her relatives

When Mrs. Wu received the news, she supported herself with a maid's hand and hurried over. She couldn't wait for her daughter to come see her; she wanted to see her daughter with her own eyes.

"Jen Jen."

The sudden arrival of the Wu family shifted everyone's attention.

Wang Zhenzhen rose and walked quickly a few steps, greeting Wu Shi. She directly knelt down with both knees and bowed her head in respect:

"As a daughter, I have been unfilial by not being able to serve my mother properly and even caused her to worry about me."

"Jane, my daughter, you're finally home!"

Mrs. Wu caressed her daughter's face, tears streaming down like rain. Wang Zhenzhen also had tears in her eyes, she felt that she was selfish and hadn't been back often to visit her mother, causing her worry. Looking at the white hairs on her temples, she became even more saddened.

When the mother and daughter met again, they were overcome with emotion, tears streaming down their faces. This put Wang Yaohui in an awkward position; he could only stand aside and offer words of comfort. Meanwhile, Wang Yaozu, who had changed his clothes and returned, only then learned that Zhen's wife was the eldest daughter of the old woman and his own elder sister. His mouth hung open in astonishment, unable to close for a long time.

After Wu had collected her tears and calmed down, Wang Zhenzhen then told her about encountering Yaozu on the way and bringing him back. However, she also kept a bit of it to herself, only saying that Li Anni had protected them all the way, and that Li Anni was her fellow disciple and the Palace Master's most favored disciple. The reward still needed to be given, though.

Wu shi didn't care about these things. This silver was meant to come out anyway. The current homeowner is Wang Yaohui, and he saved his own blood brother. Naturally, it was up to him to resolve it himself.

“You guys have met already. Let’s go back to the courtyard, you and I can talk for a bit as mother and daughter. Then you can go see your father.”

Mrs. Wu spoke directly, and she glanced at Lian Yi. When she saw Lian Yi's appearance, she already had a general guess, but since her eldest daughter didn't say anything, she held back her excitement and prepared to ask her daughter first before acknowledging her granddaughter.

Yes, Mother!

Wang Zhenzhen also had many things to tell her mother, Wu. So she readily agreed.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wu arranged Ripple's residence and then took her eldest daughter away.

Wang Yaohui also wanted to know what happened along the way, so he took his younger brother to the study and asked him to tell him in detail about everything that happened. They talked for the entire afternoon.

And the ripples moved into Yinchizi Courtyard. Whether it was intentional or unintentional by the old madam, this courtyard should have been where Wang Yingying lived before.

After a simple wash and dinner, she sat in the yard admiring the moon, thinking about what she needed to do next.

... When Qiqi received the message, she learned that Madam Zhen and her entourage had gone to the Wang family's estate and hadn't come out since. It was clear they were either honored guests of the Wang family, or relatives, or had some kind of business relationship with them. Regardless, Qiqi wanted to know more.

Just as he was about to dispatch people to investigate further, he received a flying pigeon letter from the imperial city. Princess Xiangyi led her troops to Longxi to meet him and work together on matters concerning the treasure.

Qi Qi's face turned cold. This woman was truly relentless, having managed to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to come all this way just to add fuel to his fire.

However, the transmission noted that a secret decree accompanied Princess Xiangyi to Longxi and asked him to make preparations to receive it.

In the courtyard of Lady Wu's house at the back of the Wang family estate, Lady Wu touched her eldest daughter's face, her eyes filled with smiles:

"It seems like sending you to the Nuwa Palace was the right decision."espect, so you will have an easier life.The most important thing is that Mu Ni married a second husband because her previous husband only gave her two sons, no daughters. If you can give birth to a da...
