Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 378 Lin Qingzhu - Ximen Yuqing

Several people had gathered in the main hall of the Nalan Clan, but their expressions were a little unusual after they listened to the report from Xi Tiezu that the Di Sisters had disappeared for three days.

"So what should we do now? Should we infiltrate the Di Clan?" One of them asked.

"There's no need for you to do that." Wu Xie'er answered by shaking her head. "I've contacted my father, so you guys can stay in this clan for the time being, and we will attack the Di Clan after my father-in-law comes out of his seclusion.

"Is ancestor Nalan almost completing his breakthrough?"

"Yes." Wu Xie'er nodded and told them. "My father-in-law will probably break through in a month, and he will become the strongest in the region after that, so we don't need to think about the Di Sisters for now."

"In that case, we will stay in this clan for now, and we will wait for ancestor Nalan to break through."

"All right, you guys can go now."

After they left, Nalan Jie asked Wu Xie'er. "Why don't you allow them to infiltrate the Di Clan, Mother?"

"Isn't that useless?" Wu Xie'er asked him back. "The Di Sisters must have gone to those foreigners's realm now, so we don't need to waste time to do that. Anyway, what about those two women?"

"I was tired of Fu Chen, so I asked my personal guard to get rid of her." Nalan Jie casually answered his mother, but he let out a heavy sigh about the other one. "As for Huo Qingya, that bitch kept ignoring me, and she even asked her guards to prevent me from seeing her."

Wu Xie'er nodded in understanding. "Huo Qingya will become the next leader of the Huo Clan, so it's natural for her to act like that. Even so, you have to keep trying to get her, and our clan will become even stronger if you succeed in conquering her."

"All right, I'll try to approach that bitch again."

The four women had returned to Qingshui Mansion, but Feng Xian'er asked Shen Qing to take the Di Sisters to places that they had never visited before, and she then invited Luo Yi and Song Susu to come with her.

Even though they felt confused about Feng Xian'er, Luo Yi and Song Susu still followed her, and she took them into her room.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu sat in the living room with the other three women, and she then asked Ximen Yuqing. "Why did you suddenly return to this country? I thought you were comfortable living in Europe, so you didn't want to come back here anymore."

Hearing that, Ximen Yuqing sighed in his heart and knelt in front of Lin Qingzhu, starting her.

"Why are you like this? Get up quickly." Lin Qingzhu wanted to help her up.

However, Ximen Yuqing refused and spoke to her. "Sister Qingzhu, I've heard everything from Zhiyi, so I decided to return to the country."

"You have no reason to behave in this manner, Yuqing. You had nothing to do with it."

"No." Ximen Yuqing refused by shaking her head. "Even though the murderer was my husband, I also enjoyed the benefits of his crimes, so I feel guilty towards you. I had visited Brother Zhen's grave to apologize to him, so I came to you to apologize to you."

"Get up first." Ximen Yuqing finally agreed and sat beside Lin Qingzhu. "You don't know anything about Chen Hu's evil deeds, so you don't need to apologize to me, and I will never blame you."

Ximen Yuqing nodded to her. "If not for Li'er's massive action, I would never know the truth. Even though it was very late, I am grateful that I finally knew the truth, and I have decided to divorce Chen Hu."

"Eh?" Lin Qingzhu was shocked after hearing that. "Are you really going to divorce him?"

"Yes." Ximen Yuqing replied with a look full of resolution. "I thought things through carefully on the flight back to this country, and I didn't want to continue living with a murderer, so I made up my mind to divorce him."

"I see." Lin Qingzhu nodded in understanding and took her hand. "How about you and Zhiyi stay here with us?"

"But-"

"Is it true that we can live here, Aunt Qingzhu?" Chen Zhiyi excitedly asked, especially since she could see Chen Li often if she and her mother lived with them.

Ximen Yuqing sighed in her heart at seeing her daughter like that, for she didn't want her to stay near Chen Li, or her feelings for him would deepen. Besides, she also doesn't like his relationships, and she doesn't want her daughter to be a part of them. "Zhiyi, we will live in our old house, and-"

"No, I don't want to live there, Mom!" Chen Zhiyi shouted at him. "If you want to live in our old house, then you can live there alone, and I will live here with Big Brother."

"But-"

"Yuqing, you don't need to be like this." Lin Qingzhu intervened between them. "We are a family, and your old house is too old and unfit to live in now, so it would be better if you and Zhiyi lived here with us."

Chen Zhiyi nodded in agreement with that. "Aunt Qingzhu is right, Mom! Besides, my father will probably return to this country soon, and he will definitely live in that old house, so you will meet him if we live there."

Tian Qiu, who had been silently listening to them, sighed in her heart because of her best friend's words. She then left them and went to the swimming pool in the back area, and she sat there alone while dipping her feet into the pool.

Hearing her daughter mention her husband, Ximen Yuqing's feelings were filled with uncertainty because she didn't want to see Chen Hu again, but she had no other place to live.

Lin Qingzhu then persuaded her again. "I know the reason why you don't want to stay here with us, but you have to think about everything carefully, including Zhiyi's feelings."

Ximen Yuqing's expression changed after hearing that. "Is it true that Li'er is in a relationship with Meiyi and Wei'er?"

"Yes." Lin Qingzhu did not intend to cover it up. "At first, I also felt weird about their relationships, but they both love Li'er wholeheartedly, so I decided to accept their relationship, and I'm used to it now."

"Why do you accept their relationship? What if other people find out about their relationship?" Ximen Yuqing asked again as she frowned, for she couldn't understand Lin Qingzhu's decision to accept their unusual relationship.

Lin Qingzhu responded to her with a smile. "I decided to accept their relationship because our lives are different now, and we don't care about what people think about their relationship."

"What do you mean by your lives being different?" Ximen Yuqing became increasingly confused about Lin Qingzhu, and Chen Zhiyi was also curious about it.

However, Lin Qingzhu shook her head at him. "I'm sorry, but I can't explain it to you, and it depends on whether Li'er wants to tell you or not. Although you two don't have anything wrong with us, Chen Hu's mistakes are too big, and he hates him so much now."

Unlike her mother, who could accept that, Chen Zhiyi's expression became gloomy. She became even more curious about Chen Li's changes. "Aunt, where is Big Brother? I want to talk to him again."

Before Lin Qingzhu could answer her niece's question, Chen Li suddenly appeared in front of them because Feng Xian'er asked him to meet the two women in their room.

"Big Brother!" Chen Zhiyi shouted as she ran over to him, and she hugged Chen Li. "I missed you so much."

"Let go of me, Zhiyi." Chen Li softly said.

"No." Chen Zhiyi answered as she rubbed her face against his chest as she savored his masculine scent. "Big brother, I don't want to be separated from you anymore, so I will stay here with you."

Once again, Chen Li raised his eyebrows and turned to his mother, but Lin Qingzhu only smiled and nodded at him, causing him to sigh. He then used a bit of his strength to remove Chen Zhiyi's hands from his body, and he told him. "All right, both of you can stay here with us, but I'm very busy now, so I can't accompany you."

After he said that, Chen Li hurriedly went to the third floor to meet Luo Yi and Song Susu, but he glanced at Ximen Yuqing with a faint smirk on his face.

'Ugh! He cares more about that fox than me!' Chen Zhiyi inwardly grumbled as he stomped his feet on the floor repeatedly. 'Tch! I have to do something to attract Big Brother's attention quickly! Otherwise, he will continue to ignore me like now, and that fox will monopolize him!'

Meanwhile, Ximen Yuqing's face was quite red, and her heartbeat became even faster. 'Is he really Li'er? He's so different now; he used to be so warm and gentle, but he's so cold now.'

Lin Qingzhu naturally noticed Ximen Yuqing's expression, and she realized that she had fallen for her son's charm. 'Sigh, I hope Li'er won't do anything bad to her, especially since she is a good woman.' "Anyway, where are your things? If you left them somewhere else, you can go get them now, and you two should stay here with us."
