Chapter 2108: The Zhuo Family’s patriarch
“Yes.” The old man replied and made his exit respectfully.
Patriarch Zhuo sat on the main seat in contemplation, thinking of his big brother’s family who had been living in isolation in the West Manor these years. Although they similarly belonged to the Zhuo family, for some reason, Big Brother’s family gave others the impression as if they’re living off the family’s charity.
Not only he feel this way, everyone in the East Manor must have had the same thought. As for the thing circulating inside the Manor over the years, he just turned a blind eye and never paid much attention.
Even if his big brother was not his father’s son, he was still his mother’s son, his half-brother. But, the family elders did not think so.
They worried that his big brother would meddle in Zhuo’s family’s matters, worried that Zhuo’s Manor would fall into the hands of outsiders. As a result, his big brother wasn’t allowed to interfere in the Zhuo family’s matters. They also suppressed him secretly, so that his big brother was mediocre these years, with nothing particularly outstanding about him.
The only thing that surprised him these years was that Junyue somehow knew Immortal Lord Hun Yuan. His family also seemed to have a good relationship with the Immortal Lord. Occasionally, Sage Hun Yuan would visit the West Manor, but nothing else.
Just as he was absorbed in thought, the steward came in from outside.
“Patriarch.” The old steward came forward respectfully.
He came to his senses and glanced at the steward. “What’s the matter?”
“Patriarch, Eldest Master and others from the West Manor came to the courtyard where the Old Madame cultivates quietly.” The old steward reported.
“it’s normal for big brother to go to see his mother. What’s all the fuss about?” He said without concern. But as soon as he said this, he paused slightly, looked at the old steward asked, “Who else is there besides the Eldest Master?”
“Besides Eldest Master and Eldest Young Master, there’s also Immortal Lord Hun Yuan and a young man dressed in azure.”
He was surprised to hear the reply. “Immortal Lord Hun Yuan and a young man dressed in azure? Isn’t that young man who came here with the Immortal Lord? Why does he also come to the Old Madam’s courtyard?”
He felt that something was strange but couldn’t pinpoint it for sure.
Meanwhile, in the Old Madam’s courtyard.
“Please wait for a moment, I’m going to talk to my mother.” Zhuo Chuhui told Sage Hun Yuan and Feng Jiu, and then walked inside.
The old man sat down casually by the stone table in the courtyard. Feng Jiu was standing, looking quietly at the layout of the courtyard, until, after about the time it took a column of incense to burn, Zhuo Chuhui walked out from the building.
“Young Master Feng, please come in! My mother wants to meet you.” He looked at Feng Jiu.
So, Feng Jiu went inside while Sage Hun Yuan and Zhuo Junyue stayed outside.
After the two went in, the old man drank a sip of wine and then asked Zhuo Junyue, “You didn’t tell your father that she’s a woman?”
Zhuo Junyue paused for a moment. “I only told him that she’s my grandfather’s disciple.”
“Oh, no wonder. No wonder your father keeps calling that girl ‘Young Master Feng’.” The old man shook the wine gourd and narrowed his eyes with a satisfied look. “After coming back this time, I will have a good rest and learn the set of Tai Chi from her.” Speaking of Tai Chi, the old man could not help looking forward to it.
