After Lan Yan finished introducing the direct descendants of the Lan family one by one, Lan Ziye was even more shocked. There were so many brothers! ⊙﹏⊙

Before she traveled through time, she only had three brothers in her family, and she was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall every three days and every five days. With so many brothers, wouldn't she be forced to stay in the ancestral hall forever? (?Д?)?

"Um... don't you have any sisters or something like that?" Lan Ziye asked tentatively.

Lan Yan felt a little embarrassed when talking about this, and his eyes could not help but drift towards Lan Jia. Lan Jia immediately understood and said with a stiff upper lip: "The Lan family has not had a daughter for dozens of generations!"

Lan Ziye understood instantly. No wonder the old patriarch wanted to take back even his own son of unknown origin. It turned out that there was a surplus of male masculinity and a deficiency of female masculinity, and there was no girl with purple eyes in the family!

After hearing what Lan Jia said, Lan Yan felt even more guilty. There was a room full of brats and his granddaughter didn't even have a playmate.

He looked at his granddaughter's rosy little face and sparkling eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He cleared his throat and said to Lan Jia seriously, "Didn't you say last time that your wife was planning to adopt her sister's daughter? I've met that child a few times, and she has a pretty gentle personality. You can take her over to accompany Xiao Yeye. She will be Xiao Yeye's sister from now on!"

Lan Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Okay, Dad, I'll pick him up tomorrow!"

Lan Ziye: ...That's not what she meant, right?

After the 'brothers' were introduced to each other, a wave of 'aunts' came next. Nine aunts came up at once, talking incessantly, asking about Lan Ziye's well-being, and their enthusiasm was so great that Lan Ziye could hardly handle it.

After listening for a while, Lan Ziye finally understood a little bit. It turned out that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Lan family, she had to have a decent identity to the outside world, which meant that she had to be registered under the name of an "aunt".

Lan Ziye never expected that coming to the Lan family would be so troublesome. When she finally returned to the room arranged for her by Lan Yan, she was already so tired that she lay on the bed, unable to move!

The white cat jumped onto Lan Ziye's bed and lay motionless next to Lan Ziye in the same position, belly up.

"Xiaobai, why do you look so tired?" Lan Ziye glanced at the white cat and said unhappily.

"Master, let's go back to the unfinished building! The Lan family is too scary! (???︿???)" the white cat said in a crying voice.

Lan Ziye looked confused.

Xiaobai rolled over, said with tears in her eyes, "All the women here like to pet cats!?_?"

Lan Ziye: ...

"Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until after the auction tomorrow!" Lan Ziye said thoughtfully, pausing for a moment before adding, "At worst, if a woman shows up next time, I'll just put you into my Shikigami space!"

Xiaobai nodded with a look of grievance and said, "This is the only way!"

Lan Ziye sighed and muttered thoughtfully, "But...why hasn't a girl with purple eyes appeared in the Lan family for so many generations? Is it because I didn't die?"

Xiaobai blinked his big eyes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Look!... My mother is the head of the Purple Eyes family, and my father married into the family. My mother died of complications while giving birth to me, leaving me as the only head of the Purple Eyes family in the entire Lan family! I once heard my mother say that my grandmother also died when my mother was born, and that a few generations ago, a head of the family was killed by a demon while slaying one. But not long after her death, another girl with Purple Eyes was born in the family!"
