Chapter 206 Lian Zixin
"Hongxuan, let's strengthen Wanwan's discipline in the future!"
After a long time, Lian Mengzhu said, "Fortunately, now that Wanwan is still young, her temper can still be corrected."
"Well," Ye Hongxuan nodded, "That's the only way to go. Thinking in a better direction, it's good that we've discovered the problem in Wan Wan's temper now, and there's still time to correct it."
"We'll be more disciplined in the future," Lian Mengzhu agreed, "By the way, the fiancee of Patriarch Huangfu is the girl who photographed the Shennong Cauldron. Does she have anything to do with the Ye family? She is also surnamed Ye, and she is also an alchemist. Does she really have nothing to do with the Ye family?"
"We don't have such a person in our family." Ye Hongxuan shook his head, "It's just that I don't know if any of the disciples left any romantic accounts outside."
"Do you need to investigate?" Lian Mengzhu asked, "Why is she really from our Ye family? Shouldn't she be allowed to return to the family! And, didn't you say that just now? The Shennong Ding has already been photographed by Ye An'an. If she really returns to the Ye family, then the Shennong Ding can be considered a Ye family's property."
After hearing Lian Mengzhu's words, Ye Hongxuan was very moved, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head, "If that Ye An'an is just alone, then we can still investigate. But, she is Huangfu Ling's fiancée, if we investigate, we will definitely alarm Huangfu Ling."
"Besides, even if she is really a family member living outside the Ye family, she has become Huangfu Ling's fiancée now, and will become the head mother of the Huangfu family in the future. She may not be willing to return to the Ye family."
"But—" Lian Mengzhu wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
"I know what you want to say," Ye Hongxuan shook his head, and said, "This Ye An'an is not an ordinary person. She is not only Huangfuling's fiancée, but also the person who hurt Ye Miner today. Although I don't know how her alchemy skills are, but from Ye Miner's injury, it can be seen that she is not a simple person, so she cannot be manipulated by us."
Lian Mengzhu opened his mouth, unable to utter persuasive words, he could only sigh, and then shook his head, "I never thought that a young girl would be so powerful. If Wanwan can have half of her heart, we can rest assured."
Although she has never seen Ye An'an before, she knew from her husband's few words that she was not a simple girl. They are obviously about the same age, but the other party is much better than Wanwan.
"If she can become Huangfu Ling's fiancée, how can she be an ordinary person!" Ye Hongxuan said with a smile, "Okay, don't think too much, everyone has their own destiny. Although our Wan Wan's temperament needs to be corrected, but her strength, among her peers, is already considered an outstanding existence."
Lian Mengzhu nodded, but did not continue to say anything.
On the second day, almost everyone in the Ye family knew that Ye Wan bought the Seven Star Flower that already existed in the family at a sky-high price of 1.2 billion.
For this reason, the elders expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their dissatisfaction with this matter. Even the old Patriarch Ye Ruiyuan intervened. In the end, although Ye Hongxuan made an explanation and was willing to take responsibility, Yewan still couldn't escape punishment.
However, the punishment was not severe, it was just to temper her temper, she was confined in her own courtyard for a week, and she had to copy the Ye family's house rules a hundred times.
Such punishment can be regarded as painless to others. However, this is very important for Ye Wan, because since she was born, she has always been the proud daughter of heaven and the apple of her parents' eye. Moreover, even without mentioning her identity, her strength is among the best among her peers. Therefore, on weekdays, she is highly respected.
However, now she was punished. Such a big gap made her feel unacceptable. She even felt that those family children who respected her on weekdays looked at her with sarcasm.
She hid in her yard, hating Ye An'an in her heart. In her opinion, everything she has suffered now is thanks to that Ye An'an. If it wasn't for Ye An'an's provocation, she wouldn't have spent 1.2 billion to take pictures of Seven Star Flower on impulse, let alone being punished by the family.
At this time, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu didn't know Yewan's mood. In their view, this kind of grounding punishment plus copying the family rules can just make the night quiet and reflect on their own actions.
Ye Hongxuan went to busy with the family affairs, the family competition is about to start, he still has a lot of things to arrange. Especially this time the family competition is also related to a Lingshi mine. No matter what, he has to work hard.
And Lian Mengzhu is sitting in the garden of the Ye family house at the moment, drinking tea, looking very comfortable.
At least Lian Zixin felt this way when he came to Ye's house and saw this scene. Where no one noticed, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. However, it disappeared immediately and was replaced by a smile on his face.
"Sister, it looks like you really enjoy yourself!" Lian Zixin said with a smile as she stepped forward, "Aren't you busy at this time?"
"Zixin, why are you here?" Seeing Lian Zixin, Lian Mengzhu immediately put a smile on his face, "Quick, come and sit down first."
After finishing speaking, she immediately poured a cup of tea for Lian Zixin who was sitting opposite her.
"Good tea." After taking a sip, Lian Zixin couldn't help admiring, "As expected, it's Yejia. Even if it's tea, it's definitely the best spiritual tea."
Such spiritual tea is reserved for guests in her home. But here in Lianmengzhu, it is ordinary tea that can be drunk at any time. They are obviously two sisters, but their life after marriage is very different.
As the older sister, Lian Mengzhu married the Ye family, a family of alchemists, and became the head mistress of the Ye family. On weekdays, she wears silk and satin, eats delicacies, and even drinks high-quality spiritual tea, and even the water for making tea must use mountain spring water. Moreover, because of the comfortable life and the harmony with her husband, even after many years of marriage, Lian Mengzhu still lives as chic as before marriage.
But she! She married the Yan family, a down-and-out family. Although it has the name of a family, the inside has already been rotten, and the whole family is almost unable to make ends meet. For so many years, if she hadn't been struggling to maintain it, she might have collapsed long ago. It is also because she has been too worried for many years, so she is obviously a younger sister, even ten years younger than Lian Mengzhu, but standing with Lian Mengzhu, she is more like an older sister.
Lian Mengzhu didn't notice the darkness and unwillingness in Lian Zixin's heart at all. After hearing such words, she just chuckled a few times, and then said, "If you like it, then when I go back, I'll ask someone to pack two catties for you."
Such a natural tone, in Lian Zixin's eyes, was a charity, but even so, she still had an impeccable expression on her face, and even smiled mischievously, "Then I will thank my sister."
"As long as you like it," Lian Mengzhu nodded with a smile, and then said with concern, "Zixin, your complexion doesn't look very good, are you too tired recently?"
She still cares a lot about her sister. In her opinion, they have grown up together since they were young, and even if they get married, they will be as close as before.
Lian Zixin reached out and touched his face subconsciously, then shook his head with a smile, "It's possible, there are a lot of things at home recently, so it's not good to rest."
"You too, nothing is more important than your own health." Lian Mengzhu said with concern, "Yan Kai is really, I don't even know how to feel sorry for you."
"Sister, don't talk about Yan Kai." Lian Zixin smiled and said, "He treats me very well."
"You!" Lian Mengzhu shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't get involved in the matter between you and your husband. But when you go back, I'll bring you some nourishing pills! You should also take good care of your body. Back then you—"
"Sister, don't talk about this matter." Lian Zixin's eyes flashed a gloomy look, then he raised his head and asked, "By the way, what about Wanwan? Has she gone out?"
Lian Mengzhu also knew that mentioning the events of the past would make Lian Zixin sad, so she stopped talking, "Ah! She's still grounded in her own yard!"
"How could it be grounded?" Upon hearing the news, Lian Zixin immediately became nervous, "What's wrong with her? Don't you and your brother-in-law love her the most? Why did you ground her?"
"Alas—" Lian Mengzhu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Afterwards, she told what happened yesterday, and at the end, she couldn't help sighing, "Wanwan's temperament really needs to be sharpened. Your brother-in-law and I both think the same way. Besides, punishment like grounding is simply insignificant."
"Sister, this matter is not Wan Wan's fault at all." After listening to Lian Mengzhu's narration, Lian Zixin immediately said, "It was clearly set up by that person named Ye An'an, and Wan Wan fell for it because she was young. What you should do is to comfort her, not punish her."
"Zixin, what are you talking about!" Lian Mengzhu shook his head disapprovingly, "Wanwan started this matter first, and the other party just followed the trend, so how can it be said that it is the other party's fault! I know you love Wanwan, but you can't favor Wanwan like this!"
"Sister!" Lian Zixin said anxiously, "Wanwan has always had a high self-esteem since she was a child, and now that she has been framed by someone, she must feel very uncomfortable. You still punish her like this, how can she bear it!"
Lian Mengzhu was very persistent, "Zixin, don't talk about this matter, your brother-in-law and I have our own opinions."
"But, sister—"
Of course, in this case, she was just joking. She still knew why Zixin doted on Wanwan so much.
"Sister, what are you talking about!" Lian Zixin's eyes flashed unnaturally, but he quickly returned to his usual look, and said coquettishly, "You know that I have always treated Wanwan as my own daughter."
When he said this, Lian Zixin's face showed a trace of sadness, "If my daughter hadn't died in infancy, she should be the same age as Wanwan now."
"Zixin," Lian Mengzhu comforted quickly, "It's been a long time since this happened, so don't think about it anymore. Besides, you still have Chen Lang and Xiao Lei now, they are also your children!"
My sister’s child was born prematurely and died within a few days. After that, her health was not very good, and she gave birth to two children, Chen Lang and Xiao Lei, but she still couldn't recover.
Not long after my younger sister’s child died, Wanwan was born, and it was a girl. Probably for this reason, my sister has always regarded Wanwan as her own daughter. Sometimes even better than Chen Lang and Xiao Lei.
"I know." Lian Zixin's face was sad, and his tone even had a hint of crying, "It's just that when I think of my daughter who died young, I can't calm down."
After speaking, Lian Zixin seemed unable to control her emotions, so she burst into tears.
Looking at the sad sister in front of her, Lian Mengzhu wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only silently accompany her, and then handed her a tissue.
After a while, Lian Zixin wiped away the tears on her face, and then said with some embarrassment, "Sister, I—"
"It's okay," Lian Mengzhu shook his head, and said softly, "I understand your feelings, but the past is over, you still have to relax. I think, if your daughter knows that you have been sad because of her, she won't be happy. Whether it's for the living or the dead, you have to cheer up!"
She had told Lian Zixin many times about this. It's just that she also understands that some things cannot be made to let the other party really let go with just a few words of persuasion. However, she still had to say these words.
Lian Zixin nodded, not sure if he took it to heart.
Seeing Lian Zixin's appearance, Lian Mengzhu sighed and didn't say anything more.
"Sister, let me go and see Wanwan!" Lian Zixin smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her."
"Okay, Wanwan is in my own courtyard." Lian Mengzhu warned, "After you see Wanwan, remember to come back. I have prepared some medicinal herbs and elixir for you, and I will take them back when the time comes."
"okay, I get it."
There was no need for others to lead the way. Lian Zixin quickly came to Yewan's room and knocked on the door. After getting permission from the people inside, she opened the door and went in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Ye Wan was at the desk at this moment, seriously writing something.
"Wan Wan." Lian Zixin took a step forward and looked at Ye Wan with kindness in his eyes, "What are you writing about!"
"It's nothing." Night night shook her head, then got up, and smiled politely at Lian Zixin, "Auntie, when did you come?"
"Just finished seeing your mother."
When it came to this point, Lian Zixin's tone became a little aggrieved, "I heard what your mother said about you. Your father and mother are also true. You were grounded for such a trivial matter. This matter is obviously not your fault."
After hearing Lian Zixin's words, Yewan's face froze for a moment, and then she immediately recovered. She and Lian Zixin sat down on the sofa, and then poured Lian Zixin a cup of tea, "Auntie, father and mother are also doing it for my own good. Besides, it's just a few days of confinement. The family competition is coming soon, and I need to calm down."
For this little aunt, she can't say she likes it, nor can she say she doesn't like it. However, she was a little annoyed by the other party's pleasing behavior. It was okay when she was young, but when she grew up, she didn't really want to get along with this aunt. Because she always felt that my aunt's attitude towards her was really strange, and she treated her better than her own children. Sometimes, there are even strange eyes looking at her.
Although I know from my mother that my aunt treats her as her own daughter because she has lost a daughter before. However, even so, she still felt uncomfortable.
However, seeing her mother's face, she can't go too far, so she has always maintained a polite manner with this aunt.
After hearing Ye Wan's words, Lian Zixin didn't continue this topic, but talked about what happened last night, "Wan Wan, what happened last night was not your fault at all, it was all designed by that person named Ye An'an. Don't think too much about it."
"I know." Speaking of what happened last night, Yewan couldn't help flashing a trace of hatred in his eyes, "It's just that I was too impulsive after all. Moreover, even if it was designed by the other party, I can only admit it."
After hearing what Ye Anan said, Lian Zixin immediately said, "Wanwan, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer. Tell me who this Ye Anan is, and I will find a way to avenge you."
Just now, Lian Mengzhu only said a few words, so she still didn't know who that Ye An'an was. However, when she saw Yewan being punished because of the other party, she became very angry and wanted to seek justice for Yewan.
"Auntie, forget about it." Ye An'an shook her head, and continued, "Father definitely doesn't want us to continue to cause trouble."
She also hated Ye An'an to the bone, but she hadn't lost her mind yet. This Ye An'an's identity is unusual, she is the fiancée of the Patriarch Huangfu. Even their Ye family has to be a little bit jealous, what can this little aunt do! Even in its heyday, the Yan family was nothing more than a small family. Now that it has declined even more, how could it be possible to confront the Huangfu family!
"Wan Wan, just say it out, what to do is my business." Lian Zixin didn't hear Ye Wan's implication at all, but continued to urge, "Even if it really happens, it's my aunt's business."
Seeing Lian Zixin's appearance, Ye Wan couldn't help frowning, and then said angrily, "Auntie, that Ye An'an is the fiancée of the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ling, and she went with the head of the Huangfu family last night."
Does this little aunt have a brain problem? Last night's auction, the people who were able to attend were not simple people. Even if that Ye An'an was not the fiancée of the Patriarch Huangfu, whoever was able to attend last night's auction, could the Yan family, a small family, be able to resist? Is it interesting to force her to speak out?
Sure enough, after listening to Yewan's words, Lian Zixin's face flashed a look of unnaturalness, and then he laughed and laughed, "Wanwan, actually, I think your father and mother are right. Now that this matter is over, don't think too much about it."
Seeing the change in Lian Zixin's attitude, Yewan's eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm, "Auntie is right."
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.
Afterwards, Lian Zixin quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Wanwan, the family competition is about to start, so you should be ready!"
"There's nothing to prepare for." Yewan shrugged and said indifferently, "Anyway, such a competition ultimately depends on the individual's strength. There is no use in cramming, as long as you treat it with a normal mind."
"Wanwan, your strength is rarely rivaled among your peers. You will definitely get good grades this time."
When he said this, Lian Zixin's tone was a little more proud, "In the whole hidden world, who doesn't know your excellence! It would be great if Chen Lang and Xiaolei were half as good as you."
The Yan family is not eligible to participate in such a family competition. Only those famous big families in the hidden world are eligible to participate. However, Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei will attend as children of the Ye family. The two of them have been practicing at the Ye family, so it's justified.
Night night also said polite words, "Cousin and cousin are very good, just don't worry, auntie."
Lian Zixin nodded, and then continued, "Wanwan, I know you have worked hard in cultivation, but you still have to pay attention to rest. Your body is the capital of revolution. You are still young, and there are still many possibilities."
For Lian Zixin's concern, Yewan's eyes flashed a trace of annoyance, but she still responded obediently, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of myself."
Next, Lian Zixin continued to take care of Yewan's body tirelessly.
The night is very disturbing, but for the sake of my mother, I can only accompany her with a smiling face.
