Nalan Hexi was indeed as ugly as he had imagined, and made him feel sick.
Such a woman turned out to be my own sister. God was so unfair to me.
However, thinking of his father's instructions to him, Nalan Ziyun suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, took a step forward, and said gently and politely: "Third sister, long time no see, how have you been these years?"
He Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Who are you? Why do you act like you know me so well?"
Nalan Zijun was slightly startled.
When he met those dark and clear phoenix eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
I had the illusion that I was being targeted by a powerful monster or warrior, and even felt a chill down my spine.
But then, he saw clearly the eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him, and his sallow and ugly face. How could he be powerful
Nalan Ziyun was furious, but still said patiently, "Third sister, have you forgotten? I am Ziyun, we are siblings from the same mother. When you were a child, you often came to the Nalan Mansion to look for me."
He Xi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that. "Oh, it's Ziyun! Since you know that I often came to see you when I was a kid, do you think I'm living well here? My dear brother!"
Nalan Ziyun was startled, and glanced at the simple furnishings around the courtyard. Then he immediately showed a guilty expression: "Sister, I'm sorry, I was sent to the Seven Stars Palace to learn skills when I was very young, and I don't know how you are doing."
"I thought you were still living a life of luxury in the other courtyard, being served like the Third Lady! I didn't expect this place... this place is so simple..."
"If I had known that my sister was living a miserable life, I would have come back earlier so that she wouldn't have to suffer anymore!"
As he spoke, Nalan Ziyun could not help but take a step forward and said sincerely, "But don't worry, sister. I have already convinced father. Today, sister will return to the Nalan Mansion. From now on, sister will be able to live a life of luxury!"
He Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his deep gaze scanned Nalan Ziyun's face for a while before he smiled slowly and said, "Oh, in that case, thank you very much, brother."
"Sister, are you willing to go back with me?"
"Of course." He Xi raised his head and slowly drank the tea, then smiled leisurely, "Since you, brother Zijun, came to invite me personally, how can I go back? After all, Nalan Mansion is also a place I must go back to...!"
Nalan Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then looked at He Xi with contempt.
This woman had indeed longed to return to the Nalan Mansion, but she didn't know what kind of life was waiting for her in the Nalan Mansion.
"Since Sister has agreed to go back with me, why not wait for a better day? Sister, go and pack up now. As for the servants in this courtyard..."
Nalan Ziyun frowned and said coldly, "I think these servants are really ungrateful. It would be better to sell them off directly. Anyway, when my sister goes to the Nalan Mansion, there will naturally be well-behaved and sensible servants to serve her."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the cold-faced girl beside He Xi.
He Xi laughed softly upon hearing this, but her voice was a little cold, "Why? My brother has been missing for decades and doesn't care about my life or death, but now he is controlling the maidservants around me?"
"Since the Nalan Mansion can't even accommodate my maids, I think I don't need to go back!" (To be continued)
