Ye Zhi was surprised when she heard it: "Ah, I never thought there was such a relationship. Qinglian, my older sister is also your aunt. You can call her Fourth Aunt in the future. My sister is really nice."
The first time she spoke to the Little Fairy.
She ignored Li Qian beside her.
Li Qian’s eyes full of resentment stared at her, realizing she only had eyes for her Thirteenth Sister, which made him unhappy.
The last time they went to Shuyu Pavilion, she also took her Thirteenth Sister. All her little secrets were told to her sister...
"Ah Zhi, I discovered this. You treat Qinglian as your good friend, and you always think of her first in everything, rarely considering my feelings."
Even between good friends, there can be jealousy. The Eldest Prince expressed his dissatisfaction with a grumble.
Huanhuan rolled her eyes at him, teasingly saying, "Qinglian, like us, is a girl; you are a boy, surely it’s different. Your relationship with Xiao Chen is good too, and besides, Qinglian lives in the same dormitory as us; you can’t compare to that."
Ye Zhi nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, how can you compare with a girl? Xiao Chen treats you so well, even I’m jealous."
The Little Traitor looked puzzled: Am I not the best to you??
The Little Fairy also gave face to the Eldest Brother, helping him out, softly saying: "I will let Ah Zhi treat you better, paying more attention to you in the future."
Why do these words sound strange?
"Mm, good." The silly Eldest Prince nodded, failing to notice anything odd.
These two siblings...
Together, they walked toward the hall.
In the hall, Old Mrs. Ye was seated in the main seat, her face frosty.
To her left and right were her eldest son Ye Yuan and his wife, her second son Ye Feng and his wife, and two other children.
Their complexions didn’t look good.
Further down the seats sat Teacher Feng Liuli and Teacher Xun Yin.
Silent!
When Ye Zhi’s group arrived, they were not affected by the atmosphere, showing no signs of panic.
Looking around, thankfully those two siblings weren’t present here~
They thought they were taken back by Second Uncle and Second Aunt again!
She calmly spoke: "Hello, Grandmother, Mother. I’ve returned with my friends. We just went to the back garden to find Changzhou and the others."
With a nonchalant expression.
"Bang."
A slap on the table resounded.
In the silent hall, it was loud.
Ye Zhi followed the sound and asked: "Grandmother, what’s the matter? Why is the elder so angry?"
Old Mrs. Ye’s hair, once black in her youth like freshly fallen snow, was now frosty, turning silver, with a few black strands mixed in, partially hidden, partially visible.
The wrinkles on her face seemed to speak of a winding past.
The frostiness on her face did not appear kind at all, and the slightly sunken eye sockets housed deep brown eyes that bore the marks of time.
"I ask you, why did you drive Haoming and Qingqing out of the mansion? I did not bring them back so that you could personally go out to greet the siblings and apologize."
Old Mrs. Ye’s voice carried authority, commanding respect without anger.
This process did not allow her granddaughter a chance to refute.
Ye Zhi felt wronged, knowing her grandmother didn’t have much affection for her. She never expected, before she could even defend herself, thoughts of bringing them back emerged, along with demands for her to apologize.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the feeling of injustice.
With a faint smile, she said: "I won’t bring them back, nor will I apologize. Ye Haoming and Ye Qingqing insulted my friends and even tried to hit them. Today is my birthday feast, and I don’t want to see people I dislike."
The statement was clear, straightforward, and direct.
