Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 586 - 236: Is This the Attitude Toward Conversation? From a Friend’s Perspective! (Please Subscribe)_6

Gently sighed; sometimes I truly wish to die, ending it once and for all.

...

At night, the carriage stopped. Changsun Mei, dressed in a long gown, arrived at the Wei Family, elegant yet subdued. She carefully greeted the other members of the Wei Family. This was a typical situation of having no options; with the Zhangsun family's downfall, she had no support. Alone without backing, life outside is considerably difficult.

Wei Yuan faced this before, coming alone to the Wei Family. If Yuchi hadn't stood behind her, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, she would have faced much gossip and chatter being all alone here.

Wei Fei arrived with his wife, gleeful. Upon seeing his elder brother, he quickly asked, "Brother, has Sanlang returned? Where is he? I haven't seen Sanlang in ages!"

Saying this, he gestured to a nearby woman: "I'm bringing her to meet Sanlang. She's always been somewhat afraid of Sanlang, but since we're all family, there's no need for that among us."

"Lihua, this is Dalang. You should've met him."

"Hello, Dalang."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Wei Lihua was the woman's name; she was the County Magistrate's daughter. She used to be quite bulky, but now, after recovering slowly, she has become quite attractive, clearly having dressed up carefully, adorned with some jewelry, though her face still showed signs of minor anxiety.

Oh God, it's Yuchi!

The world says the officialdom is ruthless, but those within it know it's beyond ruthless, absolutely frightfully harsh.

"Yuchi is someone who the City Lord of Jiangzhou City would directly support, even displaying exceedingly boldly within Jiangzhou. Such a person definitely doesn't have a gentle nature. You can avoid him for a while, but not forever. I dared not meet him during the New Year, but now that he's back after much ordeal, I must meet him."

"Otherwise, my status as the second sister-in-law… it's truly untenable."

Wei Lihua felt quite anxious.

Wei Zhe laughed and said, "Let's go inside first. Sanlang has some matters to handle. He'll be here shortly."

Saying this, other women of the Wei Family came forward to accompany Wei Lihua.

"Don't worry, just treat it like your own home," said the handsome Wei Fei.

"Alright." Wei Lihua nodded, her belly already large, expecting a new child soon.

Wei Fei and Wei Zhe walked together inside the Wei Mansion.

The two quickly conversed.

Wei Fei curiously asked, "What's Sanlang up to? I finally convinced my wife to come and meet Sanlang. Surely, we won't miss seeing him tonight, right?"

"Haha, there's no alternative."

Wei Zhe laughed, rolling up his sleeves, "Mainly because your news came quite suddenly. Just this afternoon, Sanlang communicated with folks from the Changsun Family. You know the Changsun Family, right? The ones in dire straits now. Sanlang wishes to see if he can help, thus invited them for dinner at our home. Hence, he first meets with the Zhangsun Family, then suddenly you mentioned this matter afterward."

"Ah, I see. Then it all makes sense. The Zhangsun family mainly experienced an estrangement between father and daughter, huh? I always thought such things were unlikely until I actually heard the news. It's quite shocking how quickly it all severed, refusing to recognize the daughter."

"Changsun Mei's plight indeed is pitiable. Initially raising the Zhangsun Family with great effort, only to have her father and grandfather nearly strip the family of its wealth."

"Tsk tsk."

These revelations indeed are lamentable, and Wei Fei understood his elder brother's intentions: "No worries. We won't be returning to the government office tonight; we'll stay at the Wei Mansion, hoping to meet Sanlang later."

"Okay."

Wei Zhe nodded before asking gently: "How about looking for little Ximo? Though she's not your child by blood, she always considers herself as your daughter. You've been busy with government affairs, soon expecting a second child. Though little Ximo remains silent, she would undoubtedly feel somewhat neglected."

The matter of little Ximo eventually came to Wei Fei's attention, and once he knew, he sighed a sense of relief, realizing he hadn't stumbled. Hence, after having his own child, he started to overlook little Ximo at the Wei Mansion. Though she was surrounded by others, Wei Fei, as her supposed father, needed to step up.

Wei Fei understood: "Let's go find little Ximo now."

Yet his expression wavered slightly, whispering, "But little Ximo isn't really my child. I can always be her father, yet I'm truly not her father. Isn't this somewhat deceptive?"

His complexion changed: "Little Ximo's real father was directly… dealt with by Sanlang."

In truth, Wei Fei was quite fearful of Yuchi.

His third brother always wore a smile, yet within, Wei Fei couldn't guess his thoughts. Truly, once leaving the Wei Family for the government office, despite the myriad tasks at hand, it was far preferable than enduring the pressure at the Wei Family.

Wei Zhe chuckled, shaking his head: "Firstly, they were explicitly sent to the government office, where legal procedures were pursued, unrelated to Sanlang himself. Secondly, exploiting children for gains is not something parents do; they're no better than traffickers. Lastly, would your third brother ever hesitate dealing with such situations?"

"A kill is a kill. Tell little Ximo once she grows older."

"Can she not grasp such truths? Otherwise, she would indeed be a thankless wretch."

It makes sense, Wei Fei nodded: "Alright, I'll temporarily treat little Ximo as my daughter. Yet, due to numerous government predicaments, often I can't care for little Ximo, thus still require your assistance, elder brother."

"Sure."

Wei Zhe looked at Wei Fei, clearly concealing matters, pondering with helplessness:

My younger brother remains tender-hearted and often exhibits excessive compassion. However, as long as he stays well, it's fine. I hope he can peacefully live with Wei Lihua while aiming for success in the government, which is truly commendable.

As for making sure the third brother doesn't learn of the second brother's mindset, otherwise, knowing his brother still carries apprehension toward him, even Sanlang might feel somewhat upset. After all, being family means avoiding such issues that invite ridicule.
