Chapter 658: Sister Xueji

Kuchiki Senya had already stood beside him.

He spoke at this moment.

"Sister Xueji, let's return first."

"Today's events have been so grave—I fear they may affect you."

"Mm!"

Upon hearing the voice, Kitano Xueji nodded gently.

In her eyes, glittering tears shimmered.

Though she understood that everything her brother had done was for her sake,

she still felt wronged.

After all, her uncle and aunt were both dead.

And they had died at her brother's hands.

This was more than she could bear.

But she could not blame her brother for this.

For all of it had been caused by her aunt.

Thinking of this, she said no more.

She simply followed her brother toward her room.

As for the others, each returned to their duties.

Yet just as the two were about to arrive,

a clamor arose.

It was the household retainers returning.

They reported to the head of the house what they had discovered.
