At this moment, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were oblivious to Ye Wanwan’s emotional state. From their perspective, the confinement and copying of family rules served as a suitable punishment to give Ye Wanwan some time for introspection and tranquility.
Ye Hongxuan busied himself with family affairs as the Family petition approached. There were many tasks to organize, especially considering the petition’s connection to a spirit stone mine, Regardless, he was determined to make every effort.
Meanwhile, Lian Mengzhu sat in the garden of the Ye family residence, enjoying tea and appearing quite at ease.
At least, when Lian Zixin arrived at the Ye family and witnessed this scene, she sensed a twinge of jealousy. However, it quickly vanished, replaced by a posed smile.
“Sister, it seems you know how to savor life!” Lian Zixin remarked, approaching with a smile. “Aren’t you busy at this moment?”
“Zixin, why are you here?” Lian Mengzhu greeted her with a smile. “e, sit down.”
She promptly poured a cup of tea for Lian Zixin, who was seated across from her.
“Excellent tea,” Lian Zixin plimented after a sip. “Indeed, the Ye family serves nothing less than top-grade spirit tea.”
Such spirit tea was reserved for guests in her household. However, for Lian Mengzhu, it was ordinary tea that could be enjoyed anytime. Despite being sisters, their post-marriage lives were vastly different.
As the elder sister, Lian Mengzhu married into the prestigious alchemist Ye family and became their matriarch. She adorned herself in silk and satin, indulged in delicacies, and even drank high-quality spirit tea. Even the water used to brew tea had to be mountain spring water. Because of her fortable life and harmonious marriage, Lian Mengzhu continued to live as carefree as before, even after many years of marriage.
In contrast, Lian Zixin married into the declining aristocratic Yan family. Despite the family’s prestigious name, it had deteriorated internally, struggling to make ends meet. If not for her persistent efforts, the family might have collapsed. Due to her years of worry and effort, she, despite being the younger sister, appeared more like the elder sister when standing next to Lian Mengzhu.
Lian Mengzhu was oblivious to the darkness and resentment in Lian Zixin’s heart. Upon hearing such words, she chuckled and casually said, “If you like it, I’ll have someone pack two pounds for you when we return.”
In Lian Zixin’s eyes, this casual tone felt like charity. Nonetheless, she maintained an unassailable expression and even playfully smiled. “Then, I’ll thank you, sister.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Lian Mengzhu smiled and nodded before expressing concern. you don’t look too well. Have you been overly tired recently?”
She still cared deeply for her sister. In her eyes, they had grown up together, and even with their separate families, their closeness persisted.
Lian Zixin instinctively touched her face and smiled. “It’s possible. There’s been a lot happening at home lately, so my rest hasn’t been ideal.”
“Take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.” Lian Mengzhu voiced concern. “Yan Kai is really something. He doesn’t seem to appreciate you.”
“Sister, let’s not talk about Yan Kai.” Lian Zixin smiled. “He treats me well.’
“You!” Lian Mengzhu shook her head. “Forget it. 1 won’t meddle in your marital affairs. However, when you go back, I’ll bring you some nourishing pills! You should take care of your health. Back then, you…”
“Sister, let’s not discuss that anymore.” Lian Zixin’s eyes briefly darkened. She then asked, “By the way, where’s Wanwan? Has she gone out?”
Lian Mengzhu, aware that revisiting past events would distress Lian Zixin, refrained from continuing.. “She’s still confined to her courtyard!”
