Ji Qingzhou saw through Yu Yao's contempt for him at a glance, but he didn't care and still looked calm.

"Father."

Yu Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly rang out. She looked at Yu Yao and said seriously, "Qing Zhou is my most beloved junior sister. If it weren't for her, I would have died on the front line and would never have the glory I have today."

Yu Yao looked down on Ji Qingzhou and acted in a covert manner.

Even if someone wants to find fault, he can refute that the other person is overthinking.

But he never expected that the person who refuted him was not Ji Qingzhou himself, but his daughter who had always been easily controlled by him!

"I rushed back after receiving a message from my family. Junior Sister was worried that I missed my family and something unexpected happened on the way, so she accompanied me."

Without waiting for Yu Yao to say anything, Yu Xiaoxiao continued, "Father shouldn't treat her so casually."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

Yu Yao had never been refuted by Yu Xiaoxiao before. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak clearly. He laughed dryly and said, "How could I treat your junior sister casually? Isn't it because you came back too soon and your family is unprepared?"

"So when the message was sent to me, there was no preparation at home?"

When Yu Xiaoxiao said this, Yu Yao felt a little embarrassed.

"I've been busy at home these days, and I'm already preparing."

Yu Yao explained.

He had been condescending to Yu Xiaoxiao, but when faced with Yu Xiaoxiao's questioning, he was a little short of breath. He coughed lightly and slowed down his breathing: "Xiaoxiao, father will naturally give your junior sister the best, don't worry, go to the back house and wait for a while."

After a pause, Yu Yao changed the subject: "Your mother has been ill these days, so you can go and see her."

Seeing that Yu Yao had made a promise, Yu Xiaoxiao did not push him too hard. When she mentioned her mother, she said, "I'll go see my mother."

She took Ji Qingzhou to the backyard of the Yu family.

Ji Qingzhou followed Yu Xiaoxiao without any servants. She spoke up, "It would be better if you cared a little more about yourself than you do about me."

Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned and looked at Ji Qingzhou in confusion.

Ji Qingzhou met her puzzled gaze and sighed helplessly: "You..."

You really didn't notice it?

Yu Yao just looked down on her a little, but Yu Xiaoxiao immediately argued with Yu Yao and insisted that he give an explanation and get the matter settled.

But Yu Xiaoxiao knew that she was being treated with contempt, but she knew nothing about it.

What on earth did the elder sister go through in her daily life to become so accustomed to such injustices...

Following Yu Xiaoxiao, I arrived at her courtyard, which was quite quiet and elegant.

Although the Yu family kept making small moves, they did not treat Yu Xiaoxiao harshly in some of their superficial efforts.

"I don't like to be served, and there's no one in the courtyard, so please do as you please."

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "I'll go see how my mother is doing."

Ji Qingzhou said: "I'll go with you. I'm better at medical matters."

Just as the two were about to go out, they heard voices outside.

"Sister Xiaoxiao!"

"Xiaoxiao, are you back?"

A large group of people walked directly into the courtyard.

Several young men and women ran in the front and surrounded Yu Xiaoxiao in the blink of an eye.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, did you bring back the pearl hairpin magic weapon that I asked you to look out for last time?"

"Xiaoxiao, the spiritual sword I want..."

“Laugh…”

They smiled at Yu Xiaoxiao and acted coquettishly to ask for all kinds of things.

Yu Xiaoxiao had anticipated this and took out the things one by one.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, your jade pendant is so beautiful, can you give it to me?"

A short boy in his early teens happened to see the jade plate on Yu Xiaoxiao's waist and said, "There are words engraved on it. Was it carved by a famous master?"

He reached out to take off the jade token.

"Shh."

Yu Xiaoxiao immediately stepped back and avoided his hand.

"Sister Xiaoxiao?"

The boy showed an aggrieved expression, "I just want to see your jade token..."

"I can't give you the jade token."

Yu Xiaoxiao refused, saying that this was a gift from her junior sister.

The boy wanted to persuade Yu Xiaoxiao a little more. Based on his experience, Yu Xiaoxiao would give the thing to him in the end.

"Well, Xiaoxiao rarely comes back, so don't disturb her."

At this time, a thin woman holding a baby spoke.

There were several women of similar age beside her. After hearing what she said, they quickly called the young men and women back.

"Then sister-in-law, just talk to Xiaoxiao. We'll leave first."

After getting the things, the group did not stay any longer, except the boy who was being dragged away, who kept looking back and staring at the jade pendant on Yu Xiaoxiao's waist.

After the stranger left, the woman came forward with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you have lost weight... Who is this?"

This person is Yu Xiaoxiao's mother, Ye Rouxian.

"Mother, this is my junior sister, Ji Qingzhou."

When Yu Xiaoxiao saw the baby in Ye Rouxian's arms, her voice paused.

"It's Qing Zhou. I often hear Xiao Xiao mention you. Don't be so reserved. Sit down."

Ye Rouxian asked everyone to sit down, and then said to Yu Xiaoxiao: "This is your brother, Tianci, do you want to hug him?"

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao's silence, she sensed her daughter's complicated thoughts and sighed softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't blame your father. As the head of the family, he also has difficulties. If my body was better, I wouldn't have been childless after giving birth to you..."

"Mom, how can I blame you for this?"

When Yu Xiaoxiao heard Ye Rouxian mention that she had heavy bleeding when giving birth to her and that she could no longer have children, she felt a little guilty.

"Hug your brother."

Ye Rouxian handed over the baby in her arms, "He's very well behaved."

Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still took the baby. She said, "Mom, how are you? Qing Zhou knows medicine, let her help you."

"I'm feeling better now. There's no need to worry your junior sister."

Ye Rouxian smiled and refused. Looking at her graceful daughter, she suddenly said, "Mom's health has always been like this over the years. Living one more year is like earning one more year."

Yu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened: "Mom, don't say that. If you are ill, I will go to Master to ask for the elixir."

"Mother is not greedy."

Ye Rouxian said softly: "Mother herself hopes that you can be safe and happy."

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "I am already very happy. The people in the sect treat me very well."

"No matter how well I treat you, you are still an outsider."

Ye Rouxian said: "You are still alone, and I hope you have a companion, so that even if I am gone tomorrow, I can leave with peace of mind."

Yu Xiaoxiao sensed something was wrong when she heard this.

Ye Rouxian continued, "You came back just in time. Your father recently met a young talent who is an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect. He is very talented and humble. He often heard about you and admires you very much..."

"Mom, I don't want to get married."

Yu Xiaoxiao never expected that her family called her back this time because they wanted to arrange a marriage for her!

Ye Rouxian didn't expect her daughter to refuse so straightforwardly. She said, "You haven't even seen that person, why are you in such a hurry to refuse?"

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Mother, I am devoted to the Tao. Love and affection are of no benefit to me. They only disturb my mind."

Ye Rouxian said: "You have never tasted the goodness of love, how do you know that it is disturbing you? With a good husband to help you, you will be more confident when you go out!"

Yu Xiaoxiao frowned: "Mom, why do I need someone else to give me confidence?"

She has the ability and is naturally confident.

"You are amazing, but wouldn't you be more confident if you were with someone equally amazing?"

Ye Rouxian explained: "That Master Wenren is very kind to others. Your father even advanced from the middle stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training with the help of the elixir he gave him! If you marry him, you will definitely get more benefits..."

"mother?!"

Yu Xiaoxiao stood up in shock when she heard this, "You actually took each other's things?"
