Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

”Little Ximo, have you been studying well with the teacher lately?” Yuchi asked with a smile, peeling an orange for the little girl as he watched her cheerful demeanor with amusement.

”Yes, the teacher recently kept saying that I’ve suddenly grown up, calling me smart, even saying that I can handle addition and subtraction with two digits, and even manage a lot of complex calculations. He thinks I might become a pretty amazing accountant in the future.”

Little Ximo clung to her third uncle, and before Yuchi could respond, she began her lament:

”Third Uncle, you’ve been away for so long, and I’ve been so bored at the Wei Family home. There’s not much to do usually, and Sister Yuan’Er and Sister Jiunuan only come back once a month, and just for a day. I don’t have anyone to keep me company most of the time.”

Yuchi laughed heartily: ”Your Sister Yuan’Er and Sister Jiunuan coming back once a month is already quite a hassle. Jiangzhou City is quite far from our Xufu Town. Even with the help of your Sister Xun, it takes at least five days back and forth. Five days just to see you once, that’s quite an ordeal for them both.”

”But I’m still kind of bored being alone in the Wei Family home. I want you to keep me company, Third Uncle!” Little Ximo said, full of grievance. Children are simple; they don’t think about all those things and just feel it’s best when their loved ones are around them.

As for how much trouble it takes back and forth, she doesn’t seem to have a clear grasp of that concept, otherwise she wouldn’t be the little rascal she is.

”Haha, doesn’t your eldest uncle come back to play with you?” Yuchi asked curiously.

Although he’s not at the Wei Mansion now, his elder brother Wei Zhe should be there. His elder brother Wei Zhe also likes little Ximo a lot, so there shouldn’t be any reason why little Ximo would be roaming the mansion alone, right?

If that’s really the case, then he would have to find another way to handle Ximo’s situation, perhaps having her stay with Yuan’Er and Jiunuan so she’d have more family around her.

Children certainly can’t hide their feelings. Taking the peeled orange segment from her Third Uncle’s hand, she first offered him a piece and then, clutching the orange, said pitifully, ”Eldest Uncle is in the business association now. Sometimes he comes back, but it’s usually late, and he’s really busy, so there’s only a little time for him to come play with me.”

Nodding, Yuchi asked, ”And what about your father?”

”Dad’s in the government office. Although he comes back sometimes, he never stays long. It seems like he doesn’t like me as much as he did before.” As she spoke, little Ximo’s eyes welled up with tears.

”Doesn’t like you as much as he used to...” Yuchi rubbed his forehead. The situation was understandable; Yuchi’s second brother originally thought little Ximo was his biological daughter, so despite some curiosity and doubt, he cared for her.

But now, he has his own family and his own children, so it’s unlikely he could treat Ximo the same way as before. Since little Ximo doesn’t share much blood relation with him, upon having his own child, it’s inevitable that Ximo feels as if Wei Fei doesn’t favor her as much.

Given this, Yuchi reached out and pinched her little cheek:

”So, when Uncle finishes handling things in Xufu Town, I’ll take you to stay with your Sister Jiunuan and Sister Yuan’Er, okay?”

”Alright!”

The answer was firm and decisive. Compared to staying at the Wei Family home, little Ximo preferred the company of Yuan’Er and Jiunuan. First, the two sisters were very pretty, and second, they treated her really well. Every time they returned from Jiangzhou City, they would bring her lots of delicious treats. So living with Jiunuan and Yuan’Er was definitely better than staying at the Wei Family home!

With her hair styled in two small buns, little Ximo was overjoyed, her chubby face lighting up with a wide smile: ”Third Uncle is the best!”

”Haha, if not Third Uncle, then who?”

Looking at little Ximo, whose two fists were smaller than his palm, Yuchi jested, ”No matter if it’s today or in the future, as long as Third Uncle is by your side, you can rest easy. If anyone bullies you, and you’re in the right, come straight to Third Uncle, and I’ll stand up for you! Haha! But if you’re not right, don’t count on me to help you bully other children.”

After thinking it over, he decided it would be best for little Ximo to stay with Yuan’Er and the others. There were many things he needed to take care of, and he couldn’t stay at the Wei Mansion for long. So, for little Ximo’s healthy growth, he had to make some plans. It was settled then; he would send her to live in Jiangzhou City with her two sisters.

Then we’ll find a teacher at the Immortal Robe Pavilion. Yuan’Er and Jiunuan would probably be very happy too. After all, who wouldn’t like this chubby little girl?
