Wang Yaohui thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he had not seen it wrong. Then he shouted uncertainly:
"Big sister!"
"It's me."
After receiving a positive answer, Wang Yaohui immediately asked the doorman to remove the threshold and allow the carriage to enter the mansion directly.
The secret guard who had been following secretly saw the scene in front of him, and doubts flashed in his eyes. After making sure that the carriage had successfully entered the mansion and the Wang family's door was completely closed, he immediately turned around and left to report the big news.
Wang Yaohui welcomed Wang Zhenzhen into the main hall, then asked the attendant beside him to go to the backyard to inform the old lady and asked the servants to serve tea, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.
Although they have the same father but different mothers, they haven't seen each other for twenty-five years. If the eldest sister's appearance had not changed much, he would definitely not have recognized her.
Moreover, why did the other party use his brother's jade pendant when he returned home? He held the jade pendant in his hand, not knowing how to ask.
After Lianyi entered the Wang family mansion, she took a rough look along the way and felt that the Wang family was indeed worthy of the words "rich enough to rival a country". The whole house revealed a low-key luxury. It looked inconspicuous, but all of them were famous brands. Only people who knew the business could see that even the thin white porcelain teacups used for drinking tea were not ordinary products.
Wang Zhenzhen returned to her long-lost home, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar plants and trees, she knew that time had passed and everything was different. The current head of the Wang family was her older brother, but just by looking at the deep wrinkles between his brows, she knew that he was not having an easy life either.
The hall was very quiet for a while. Wang Yaozu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lianyi's eyes. He could only pinch his sleeves and rub them back and forth, hoping to attract the attention of his eldest brother. Unfortunately, it was in vain, as the other party's attention was focused on Madam Zhen.
Lianyi put down the teacup and coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room. Then, she took out the contract from her waist bag and handed it directly to Wang Yaohui, saying with a smile:
"My name is Su Lianyi, and I come from the Su Nu Palace. When I was training outside, I met Master Wang Yaozu. He was being hunted down at that time, so I drew my sword to help and rescued him. He revealed his identity and hired me to escort him back to the Longxi Wang family, and promised to give me ten thousand gold as a reward. I wonder if Master Wang can fulfill his promise?"
After hearing Lianyi's words, Wang Yaohui's temples throbbed twice. Then he looked at the contract carefully. The signature was indeed his brother's handwriting, and there was a fingerprint on it, which was obviously authentic.
"Since it was my brother who signed the agreement, I should fulfill my promise. I just don't know where Yaozu is?"
Wang Yaohui decided it would be better to ask in person.
"He's been standing there the whole time!"
Lianyi then pointed to the position behind Wang Zhenzhen.
Wang Yaozu finally waited for this moment, and he immediately said:
"Brother, it's me, Yaozu!"
Unfortunately, the voice came out in a slightly hoarse female voice.
Wang Yaohui looked at the woman in front of him and didn't think that she was his brother at all. He then turned his gaze to Lianyi.
"Wait a moment, for your brother's safety, I made some disguises. Otherwise, he would be chased all the way and would not be able to reach Longxi now."
Lianyi stood up, wiped Wang Yaozu's face, removed the human skin mask, and then gave him a pill to take.
After this series of actions was over, Wang Yaozu returned to his original appearance and his voice returned to normal.
"Brother, it's really me. This kind of dress is just a temporary measure."
He said somewhat embarrassedly.
"As long as you come back safely, go down and change your clothes before meeting me again."
Wang Yaohui felt that the pink dress was a bit eye-catching.
"yes!"
Wang Yaozu turned and ran. He also wanted to know why his eldest brother called Madam Zhen "big sister". Madam Zhen said that she was going home to visit relatives. Could it be that the Wang family was her relative?
After receiving the news, Mrs. Wu hurried over holding the hand of her maid. She couldn't wait for her daughter to come and visit her, she wanted to see her daughter with her own eyes.
"Zhenzhen."
Wu's hurried arrival diverted everyone's attention.
Wang Zhenzhen stood up and walked a few steps quickly to meet Wu, then knelt on both knees and kowtowed:
"The daughter is unfilial. She failed to show filial piety to her mother and made her miss her."
"Zhenzhen, my daughter, you are finally back!"
Mrs. Wu touched her daughter's face and burst into tears. Wang Zhenzhen also burst into tears. She felt that she was selfish and could not come back to visit her mother often, making her mother worry. Looking at the white hair on her temples, she became more and more sad.
When the mother and daughter met again, they burst into tears, which made Wang Yaohui a little embarrassed. He could only stand aside and comfort them softly. Wang Yaozu, who changed his clothes and returned, realized at this time that Madam Zhen was the old lady's eldest daughter and his eldest sister. His mouth was wide open and he didn't close it for a long time.
After Wu stopped crying and calmed down, Wang Zhenzhen told her about how she met Yaozu on the road and brought him back. However, she was also cautious and only said that it was Lianyi who protected them along the way, and that Lianyi was her fellow sister and the palace master's closed disciple, so she still had to pay her for it.
Wu didn't care about all this. The money should have been paid. The current head of the family was Wang Yaohui, and the one who was rescued was his own brother, so naturally he should solve the problem himself.
"You and your brother have met each other. Zhenzhen, come with me back to the backyard, and we will have a few private words, and then you can go and greet your father."
Mrs. Wu said directly and glanced at Lianyi. When she saw Lianyi's appearance, she already had a rough guess, but her eldest daughter didn't say it, so she suppressed her excitement and planned to ask her daughter before recognizing her granddaughter.
"Yes, mother!"
Wang Zhenzhen also had a lot to say to her mother, Mrs. Wu, so she readily agreed.
Before leaving, Wu arranged accommodation for Lianyi and took her eldest daughter away.
Wang Yaohui also wanted to know what happened along the way, so he took his brother to the study and asked him to tell him in detail what happened along the way. This conversation lasted the entire afternoon.
Lianyi moved into Yingzi Courtyard. I don't know whether the old lady did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this courtyard should be the courtyard where Wang Yingying lived before her death.
After a simple wash and dinner, she sat in the yard admiring the moon while thinking about what to do next.
After Qi Qi received the news, he learned that Madam Zhen and her group actually went to the Wang family, and never came out after entering. It was obvious that they were either guests of the Wang family, relatives of the Wang family, or had a vested interest in the Wang family. No matter which one it was, he wanted to know more.
Just when he was about to send people to investigate further, he received a carrier pigeon message from the imperial city, saying that Princess Xiangyi was bringing people to Longxi to meet him and deal with matters concerning the treasure together.
Qi Qi's face turned cold. This woman was really evil and had actually persuaded the Emperor to come all the way here to cause trouble for him.
However, it was noted on the letter that there was a secret order to accompany Princess Xiangyi to Longxi, asking him to be prepared to welcome her.
In the courtyard of Mrs. Wu in the Wang family's backyard, Mrs. Wu touched her eldest daughter's face with a smile in her eyes:
"It seems that sending you to Su Nu Palace is the right decision."
