The moment Chi Zhili got off the carriage, he saw his family coming out to welcome him. He looked around and saw his beautiful mother and Chi Yao, who was dressed up like a peacock… And a servant girl who looked as if she had not been cleaned up in time…
"Where's my sister?"
'Where's my long-missing sister?'
Chi Yao was delighted. She knew her brother loved her.
Chi Yao walked up to Chi Zhili and bowed. She smiled and said, "Brother, I'm here."
"I don't care if you're here. I'm asking for my sister. My biological sister!" Chi Zhili didn't even look at Chi Yao and his eyes continued to search the crowd.
Chi Yao looked up in surprise, her smile frozen on her face. Her eyes were red from her grievance, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
After all, she wasn't the Chi family's biological daughter. Moreover, Chi Zhili was already old enough to understand when she came to the Chi family, so it was natural that he wasn't close to her.
It seemed that she could only rely on her other brothers…
Hearing this, Chi Yang burst out laughing.
As expected of father and son, they both were very straightforward.
Chi Zhili turn towards laughter, only to find that it belonged to the disheveled and unwashed-looking servant girl.
'Where are her manners!?'
Before Chi Zhili could punish the little servant girl, Xiao Lianyi spoke.
"Well, haven't you been staring at Yangyang this whole time? Don't tell me you're too shy to speak to her?" Xiao Lianyi teased.
It turned out that was his sister's name. Chi Yang.
When Chi Zhili heard this, he turned to look at the little servant girl and then at his mother.
Really?
Chicken nest for her hair and tattered skirt to wear.
How could the biological daughter be worse off than Chi Yao, the fake daughter!
"Wu You! Take down all the gifts I've prepared."
The young master instructed, and Wu You obediently brought down the gifts that were thought for the eldest miss, the second miss, and the master and madam.
Nobody had expected that all these gifts were only for the second miss.
"Yangyang, these are all gifts I bought for you. Take them and see if you like them."
Chi Yang rolled her eyes elegantly as she looked at the pile of gifts that Chi Zhili was struggling to carry.
She could accept the gifts but didn't want to accept them.
"Shi Jian, take the gifts away."
Shi Jian nodded and reached out to take them, easily carrying the presents away.
Chi Zhili looked at the young servant girl who easily carried the heavy gifts in question.
Was this little servant girl too strong, or was he, Chi Zhili, too weak? This. Would. Not. Do.
Before he could think more about it, Xiao Lianyi urged him to enter.
"Since you're back, let's talk more inside!"
...
"Did His Majesty say anything about your return?" Xiao Lianyi asked as she sat on the soft couch and handed the tea to Chi Zhili.
Chi Zhili took it and said, "Uncle Emperor praised me for my position and allowed me to stay in the capital."
Xiao Lianyi had already guessed this.
"Oh! Also, Uncle said that he wanted to see Yangyang. He said that you never let him see Yangyang. He is very curious." Chi Zhili took a sip of tea and continued.
He felt that something wrong was going on. His mother and his uncle, the Emperor, were so close. Since Yangyang had been found, why didn't she bring Yangyang to meet Uncle from the beginning?
"Don't be like that, Mother. Yangyang is so beautiful. How can you not let Uncle see her?"
Although Yangyang was dressed inelegantly and her hair was messy, she was still extraordinary and beautiful. It was hard for people to forget her.
When Xiao Lianyi heard her son asking such a question, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chi Yang naturally knew why.
Xiao Lianyi's biological daughter was not presentable and her behavior was vulgar. She was not as dignified and elegant as her adopted daughter and was afraid of losing face in front of everyone.
"It's not that Mother didn't want to bring Sister into the palace, Brother. But it's because Sister couldn't learn any manners or etiquette no matter what. Mother was afraid that Sister would offend a noble."
