Among Jing Zhe's seven older sisters, Lu Li left home the earliest, so her relationship with the other six sisters was not particularly close or distant.
Of the remaining six sisters, they were divided into two different camps when they were young. The second sister, Zhu Xinning, got along well with the equally strong-willed third, fourth, and fifth sisters because of her strong personality, while Zhou Ziqiong could only be with the youngest sister, the seventh sister.
However, because Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi later practiced martial arts, they spent a lot of time traveling every year. Ruzhou was located at the crossroads connecting Jinxi, Jingzhou and Jiangling, so Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi passed through Ruzhou many times.
Zhou Ziqiong's relationship with Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi has improved a lot since they were children, so they exchange letters from time to time, but not often.
But ever since Jing Zhe arrived in Ruzhou, Zhou Ziqiong has been writing to Pei Yunxi more often. In the end, it's just to show off—Zhe'er came to see me first after leaving Jingzhou. Look, I'm the one he cares about the most!
Actually, given Zhou Ziqiong's personality, she shouldn't have done something so childish. However, Zhu Xinning, Qingqiu, Pei Yunxi, and Liu Jinghong had clearly seen Jing Zhe long ago, but none of them told her, which made her very angry. That's why she deliberately wrote a letter to Zhou Ziqiong to show off and to provoke her.
Moreover, she wrote letters not only to Pei Yunxi, but also to Qingqiu, because she knew that Jing Zhe would come to find them after leaving Ruzhou, so she wrote letters to "help" Jing Zhe inform them in advance.
Zhang Xiaoyu had also heard about Zhou Ziqiong writing the letter, so after seeing Pei Yunxi, she wanted to warn Jing Zhe not to spread rumors, but Jing Zhe wouldn't listen...
So now we can only hope he has good luck.
However, Jing Zhe was thick-skinned enough not to feel embarrassed and laughed, "Fourth Sister, I didn't expect you and Sixth Sister to still keep in touch. Very good, very good!"
"..."
Pei Yunxi gave him a cold glance, not intending to let him off so easily: "Didn't you just say that you value our Kunlun Mirror very much? What about Ruzhou then?"
"Fourth Sister, I'm right. I value Kunlun Mirror very much, and it was my first stop! However, Ruzhou is just on the way from Jingzhou to Kunlun County, so I only went there briefly. That's nothing compared to my special trip to Kunlun Mirror!"
"Hehe, didn't you say that your first stop was Kunlun Mirror?"
Jing Zhe remained unfazed and nodded, saying, "That's right, my first stop today was indeed Kunlun Mirror!"
"..."
At first glance, Jing Zhe's words seemed to make sense. They had been on the road all day, and their first stop was indeed Kunlun Mirror. Pei Yunxi was speechless after hearing this.
Even Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly pinch Jing Zhe again. This scene happened to be seen by Pei Yunxi, and Pei Yunxi frowned.
When she first entered the room, all her attention was focused on Jing Zhe, and she didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiaoyu. However, because all her attention was on Jing Zhe, she saw all of Zhang Xiaoyu's little actions towards him.
This made her feel uncomfortable.
He looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked, "Zhe'er, who is this young lady? You haven't introduced her yet."
Hearing her ask that, Pei Chunjing also became interested.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot to introduce you!"
Jing Zhe took Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and noticed that she was even more nervous. Her hand was not only trembling but also cold. He turned to look at her, and when she looked back, he smiled at her, signaling her to relax. Then he said with a smile, "Fourth Sister, this is Xiaoyu, my wife. She is in charge of Wenxiangju and Zhang Family Winery. She came with me this time to open a branch of Wenxiangju and Zhang Family Winery."
Zhang Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward: "Xiaoyu greets Fourth Sister..."
After saying that, he remembered Pei Chunjing: "Greetings, Sect Leader Pei..."
In her eyes, the head of the Kunlun Mirror Sect, one of the four great sects, was not as important as Pei Yunxi.
When Pei Yunxi heard the word "wife," her brows furrowed again, so much so that she couldn't hear any of Jing Zhe's subsequent introduction. After Zhang Xiaoyu called her, she only nodded slightly, but her gaze was unusually sharp as she looked at the hands that Jing Zhe and Zhang Xiaoyu were holding.
Zhang Xiaoyu instinctively pulled her hand away from Jing Zhe's.
Pei Yunxi then withdrew her gaze, stood up, and said to Pei Chunjing, "Master, Yunxi is a little tired today, I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, he walked straight out without even waiting for Pei Chun to nod, leaving everyone in the room dumbfounded.
"..."
Pei Chunjing was somewhat taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, he still smiled and came to his disciple's rescue: "Yunxi has been practicing her skills these past few days and hasn't had much rest, so it's normal for her to be tired..."
Jing Zhe nodded, turned to look at Zhang Xiaoyu, and noticed that she seemed a little disappointed. He patted her hand, said a few words to Pei Chunjing, and then, citing that it was too late, led Zhang Xiaoyu out of the Kunlun Mirror.
Zhang Xiaoyu remained silent throughout the journey.
"Xiaoyu, perhaps... Fourth Sister... is truly exhausted..."
Even Jing Zhe found it hard to believe, because Pei Yunxi's attitude towards Zhang Xiaoyu before and after meeting her was so drastically different.
"Husband, Fourth Sister seems...not to like me very much..."
Zhang Xiaoyu said in a muffled voice, which made Jing Zhe feel a little sorry for her.
"Xiaoyu..."
"Husband, actually, Xiaoyu shouldn't have come... at least not tonight. Fourth Sister has been waiting for you for so long, she must really want to see you, but she certainly doesn't want to see you with me by your side..."
"..."
Jing Zhe understood what Zhang Xiaoyu meant.
At this moment, he suddenly realized what was happening, but it was too late.
No matter how selfless a woman is, she will become exceptionally selfish when it comes to issues concerning her man, and Pei Yunxi is no exception.
According to Pei Chunjing, since they parted before the New Year, Pei Yunxi has missed him terribly and longed for him.
This is understandable. Before the Lunar New Year, Jing Zhe and Pei Yunxi traveled south from Jinxi and spent a few unforgettable days together. During those days, many things happened, and Pei Yunxi's most private parts were seen clearly by Jing Zhe by chance. So, except for the most crucial step, Pei Yunxi almost became Jing Zhe's woman.
Given this situation, it's understandable that Pei Yunxi would miss Jing Zhe.
In this state, Pei Yunxi wanted to see Jing Zhe, but only wanted to see Jing Zhe himself.
