Ye Yueying took the lantern. "Thank you, I like it very much."
Xiao Moxi smiled. "As long as you like it. Come, I’ll take you somewhere else to explore."
After that, the two strolled down the street. When it was past 9:00 PM, Ye Yueying prepared to return home.
Xiao Moxi instructed the servants to bring the carriage and personally sent Ye Yueying back to the Weng Mansion.
On the way, Xiao Moxi informed Ye Yueying, "The Lantern Festival has passed. The Great Grandson will likely summon you and your uncle within the next couple of days."
Ye Yueying nodded. "I’ll let Uncle know and have him prepare."
Soon, they arrived at the Weng Mansion.
Xiao Moxi helped Ye Yueying down from the carriage, and Xue Hua went to knock on the door. Yet, after knocking for a long time, no one came to open it.
Seeing this, both Xiao Moxi and Ye Yueying frowned.
Ye Yueying felt a bit uneasy. "I’ve let you witness a joke."
Xiao Moxi chuckled. "The world is vast, and filled with oddities. People, in particular, are unfathomably complex. Encountering such things only broadens my experience."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yueying’s unease dissipated immediately, and even a smile lifted at the corners of her lips.
Though he said so, this incident made Xiao Moxi view the Weng family in an even worse light.
Coming back earlier was one thing, but not opening the door for their niece was shameless to the extreme. At the same time, he felt more and more sympathy toward Ye Yueying.
When the Ye Family was exterminated, she had only been ten years old. How had she endured these years in the Weng family?
Meanwhile, in the main courtyard of the Weng Mansion, the gatekeeper waited with his head bowed for Weng Senior Master’s orders.
Since the mansion was not large, the knocking at the main entrance could be clearly heard from the main courtyard.
Weng Eldest Young Master hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "Father, giving Cousin a lesson is one thing, but it’s late at night. We should still let her into the mansion."
Weng Senior Master snorted coldly. "Isn’t she so capable? Didn’t she think that now she’s climbed the high branches, our Weng family is useless? I’m deliberately letting her know that without the Weng family, she wouldn’t even have a place to stay!"
