Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 103 - 102: Pretend... Pretend Again!

Approaching mealtime, Yuchi hadn’t eaten all day. He wasn’t that hungry, but he did crave something tasty.

While waiting for the meal, he was playing in the courtyard with little Ximo.

They were playing a game of eagle catching chicks.

After playing for a while, Yuchi discovered that little Ximo, despite her short legs, had an astonishingly fast running speed.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The speed was incredible.

Older brother Wei Zhe sat idly under the tree nearby, sipping tea and watching the tea leaves swirl in his cup.

He enjoyed the harmonious scene in front of him.

His third brother really had a great personality, and there was nothing to criticize about him when it came to family.

With the second brother busy with something at the government office, and little Ximo temporarily without her father to take care of her, Yuchi would come over and show his face whenever he had time.

This uncle and niece were having a blast together.

Recalling the occasional comments he heard from passersby about his third brother, they were mostly respectful descriptions like calm and calculating.

Yet seeing him play like an innocent youth in front of him made him laugh heartily.

Who would have thought that the president of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association would be such a person behind the scenes?

"Little Ximo has a great name."

"Although at her young age she doesn’t know who her mother is, it doesn’t affect her childhood."

"Speaking of which, does the second brother really not know who little Ximo’s mother is?"

In fact, Wei Zhe had privately investigated this.

The brothels in Xufu Town that were more famous, where his second brother frequently visited, only numbered two or three.

After some inquiries, there were indeed a few leads.

The main suspects at the moment were three women, all from the same brothel.

"Third brother," Wei Zhe suddenly spoke up.

"What?"

Yuchi, holding little Ximo by her ankles, was spinning her around.

Little Ximo’s eyes were rolling as she was swung, with uncle and niece playing a human frisbee.

And with crisp giggles, the maid not far away watched in shock.

Her third young lord was truly playful!

"When you have some free time, let’s go visit a brothel," said Wei Zhe.

"A brothel?"

Yuchi gradually slowed down, put a bit more strength into his arms, and tossed little Ximo into the air, catching her steadily in his arms again.

The little girl was ecstatic, clamoring for another round.

Yuchi grinned and readily agreed, lifting her up high with a radiant smile.

"Yes, it’s related to this child’s mother. Are you interested?"

"Sister-in-law?" Yuchi’s eyebrows showed slight surprise.

"Yes, after investigating for some time, there are still some suspects."

"Though our Wei Family isn’t some massive clan, we don’t want second brother’s wife to be publicly known for..."

"If word got out... it wouldn’t be good."

Of course, it’s not good.

If it were rumored that Wei Erlang’s wife was doing business outside, it wouldn’t be favorable for the Wei Family’s reputation.

They had also asked Wei Fei before, but even he couldn’t figure out who the child’s mother was.

"Brother, you can handle this yourself. I’m still a minor."

Men remain boys until they die.

I’m not going to a brothel.

Who could withstand that?

"It’s inconvenient for me to go," Wei Zhe said awkwardly. "To be honest, I’m still a virgin."

"A brothel isn’t quite suitable for someone like me, a scholar."

"I also don’t really like the atmosphere inside a brothel."

"Pfft!"

Yuchi almost spat blood, "Big brother, your musty scholarly smell, I could smell it eighteen miles away."

They’re no longer young, yet still pretending.

Not even my second uncle’s semi-truck in my past life could match your level of pretension.

Back to the point.

Yuchi sat on a stone bench with little Ximo, who was panting and drenched in sweat.

He casually pulled out a red string, and with an impressive display of skill, various patterns appeared between his palms.

Little Ximo exclaimed in surprise.

"Uncle! Amazing!"

Even the maid in the distance was stunned. Was Third Young Lord’s fingerwork this agile? So nimble!

"To be frank, brother, you surely have second brother’s best interest at heart."

"But we haven’t started families yet, and given our status, surely you don’t expect me to go into a brothel?"

"Though if you really want me to go take a look, it’s not impossible."

"But I definitely can’t go alone, and there should be at least other women with me."

Yuchi said with a smile.

It’s definitely better to have female companions, so there’s no chance of being caught, otherwise rumors might spread that Third Young Lord Yuchi was up to no good in a brothel.

The reputation of the Commerce Association would take a hit.

He wouldn’t mess around with such matters.

"Alright... sure!" Wei Zhe was somewhat conflicted but agreed, "Then after dinner, we can head to the brothel."

"Take Wei Yuan or your Qingzhu with you."

Yuchi nodded, "Alright."

It would indeed be an eye-opener.

However, not today.

A servant from the Wei Mansion came to report that Qian Wenshi from the Twelve Linked Huts was requesting an audience.

Someone from the Twelve Linked Huts came? What could they want? At least it was no small matter.

Yuchi and Wei Zhe exchanged a glance.

They didn’t want little Ximo to get bored in the courtyard alone, so they carried her as they went with Wei Zhe to see what was up.

Upon seeing Qian Wenshi, Qian Wenshi was quite nervous.

He was thankful that he previously regarded Yuchi as a big brother, even if it was in jest, having a connection made a difference.

And with the matters concerning the Demon-slaying Bureau just yesterday, who knew how many forces backed this young man?

He couldn’t afford to offend him.

Seeing Yuchi approaching with little Ximo in his arms, he quickly said, "President Wei, are you free tonight?"

"What for?" Yuchi, dressed in black with gray shoes, was puzzled.

"A certain faction wants to meet with you. The arrangement was to be made earlier, but some factors arose mid-way."

"Resulting in the situation becoming quite sudden now."

Qian Wenshi said very cautiously.

After speaking, he watched Yuchi’s reaction.

Yuchi’s question was straightforward, "What faction?"

Little Ximo looked at Qian Wenshi with puffed cheeks, she disliked people interrupting her playtime with her uncle.

It was always these people rushing in, indiscriminately taking her uncle away from her side.

So annoying!

She mumbled and grumbled, sweaty from playing, yet full of dissatisfaction.

"Here’s the thing, once before the United Commerce Association was established, Twelve Linked Huts used to have cargo exchanges with other towns."

"After the Commerce Association was formed, following protocol, we severed our cargo relationships with others."

"So originally, business with a town called Shouning was cut off."

"They want to meet you, to see if a cargo ship can be arranged."

Qian Wenshi quickly finished. He didn’t know the outcome of this matter, but he could only present it as it was now.

Yuchi glanced at his older brother.

Wei Zhe nodded slowly, "There is such talk, in the past, the relationship between Twelve Linked Huts and Shouning Town was decent."

"They’re not cloth-makers; they make coffins."

"They specialize in selling all kinds of coffins."

Selling coffins?

Yuchi was quite surprised. Twelve Linked Huts had a pretty wide business scope; he wasn’t aware of this tidbit.

In that case.

He nodded, "Brother, let’s set aside second brother’s matter for now, and perhaps either tomorrow or if we end early today, we can go?"

Wei Zhe agreed, "Do you want to meet them? Otherwise, I can go and see what’s happening?"

"No need." Yuchi smiled, "A friend coming from afar, here to visit, how could I not see them?"

Seeing little Ximo pouting, Yuchi playfully tapped her little nose.

He observed her bright eyes, shining like stars.

Yuchi teased, "We haven’t gone out for a while, right, Ximo?"

"Do you want to go out and play?"

Little Ximo instantly changed her expression, fiercely biting on Yuchi’s pig head with a laugh through tears, "Uncle, you’re the best!"
