Chapter 563: I want to see, in the first branch, who dares to stop me?!

Liyang, Jiangdong Xuanyuan, Guniu Ridge.

The Xuanyuan family had cumbersome rules and a strict hierarchy. Although the first branch's Xuanyuan Jingcheng was not favored by the Xuanyuan family's Patriarch, he still occupied a huge backyard.

In the backyard, there was vermilion lacquer and golden splendor.

In the courtyard, within the garden, there was a large glazed vat planted with eight or nine lotus flowers, standing tall and upright, with visible roots, and more than a dozen fat carp swimming among them.

And in front of the glazed fish vat, a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous palace attire stood slowly, her figure graceful. She held a small porcelain bowl, scattering bait, attracting the carp to swim happily.

Just then, a tall and robust middle-aged man walked in, giving a sense of arrogant disdain.

This middle-aged man waved his large hand, and the surrounding maids were directly driven away, walking toward the outside of the door.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Xuanyuan family's second branch, Xuanyuan Jingxuan.

"Sister-in-law, there are only the two of us, a lone man and a lone woman, here. Shouldn't we do something?!"

Xuanyuan Jingxuan looked around, came to the beautiful woman, and said from a high position.

His tone was filled with teasing and excitement.

"Xuanyuan Jingxuan! Do you know what my name is?!"

"My name is Chi Lianxia! You want to eat dumplings, but aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death?!"

The beautiful woman was unmoved. She casually put down the small porcelain bowl, looked at Xuanyuan Jingxuan, and said calmly.

"Hehe!"

"Poison me to death?!"

"Sister-in-law, you live in seclusion and don't know that after the Patriarch came out of seclusion, he intended to entrust the position of family head to me!"

"However! This is not sister-in-law's fault! After all, haven't you and the Patriarch not practiced dual cultivation for some time?!"

Xuanyuan Jingxuan gave a contemptuous smile, raised his head, and was extremely proud. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light shone from his long, narrow eyes as he said grimly.

"My heart for sister-in-law is as clear as the sun and moon, and everyone knows it!"

"After I legitimately become the head of the Xuanyuan family!"

"Sister-in-law, do you think the Patriarch will care about an aging, broken furnace?!"

"Hehe!"

"On the entire Mount Hui, I'm afraid only my bookworm of an elder brother would worship you like an immortal who doesn't eat the food of the human world!"

"In fact, hehe!"

Xuanyuan Jingxuan did not say the words that followed, but the implication was self-evident.

Despite being humiliated like this, Chi Lianxia remained extremely calm. She looked at the glazed fish vat indifferently and said with a half-smile, "Xuanyuan Jingxuan, if I remember correctly!"

"Six years ago, when you went to the Southern Border to handle matters, I also saw your loyal and unwavering wife at the Patriarch's place!"

"Back then, she scolded me every day. But now?! Have you seen her scold me again?!"

"Aren't you curious at all?!"

"To tell you the truth! It's because I pitied her loneliness, and instead of spending time and effort scolding me, it's better to go serve the Patriarch!"

"You must know, to get the Patriarch to agree, I spent a great deal of effort!"

Chi Lianxia was extremely indifferent. She just looked at Xuanyuan Jingxuan and mocked him directly.

"Good sister-in-law!"

"My elder brother, who can't even let out a fart after three sticks, actually has such a vicious sister-in-law like you?!" ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
