Chapter 156, Repeat

In the Hua family's yard, everyone in the Hua family is busy preparing for tomorrow's engagement banquet, but Hua Changxi is a little bored. She wants to help, but feels like she can't get involved.

Looking at the festive and lively Hua family courtyard, Hua Changxi seemed to have returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival in a trance, and the feeling of being out of the happy atmosphere of the family reappeared.

The place where she was was clearly her home, and the people she saw were all her family, but she just felt that there was a thin membrane separating her from everyone else.

Hua Changxi didn't like this feeling of being suspended in the air, but he didn't force himself to join in the busyness of his family. Instead, he quietly returned to his room, sat by the window, and silently watched the busyness in the Hua family's yard.

Looking at the bustling atmosphere in the Hua family's yard, Hua Changxi did not reject it in her heart, and even wanted to participate in it. She knew clearly that she needed her family.

However, she realized that she did not have a deep sense of belonging to the Hua family.

As the daughter of the Hua family, she has irreconcilable conflicts with Old Man Hua, and even with most of the people in the Hua family.

For Mr. Hua, he is the head of the family. All the big and small matters in the family, as well as the development of the Hua family, must be based on his will, and he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority.

And she certainly doesn't want to live according to the mold that others have polished. As long as she insists on being herself, the conflict between her and Mr. Hua is inevitable.

As for the other members of the Hua family, in their eyes, there should be no distinction between you and me as a family. She is a member of the Hua family, and everything she owns should be handed over to the Hua family. If she does not hand it over, perhaps she is infringing on their interests.

Hua Changxi sighed and found that she seemed to be repeating the same old problem from her previous life. She longed for the warmth of her family, but at the same time she was annoyed by their demands and kidnapping.

"Jiu Niang, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

Hua Liulang leaned on the window and waved his hand in front of Hua Changxi curiously.

Hua Changxi watched Hua Liulang sweating profusely while busying himself, and glanced at the courtyard filled with tables and chairs. The backyard seemed to be filled with them as well, and asked in surprise, "Will there be many people coming tomorrow?"

Hua Liulang nodded: "Grandfather is now the elder of the clan, and there will definitely be people from the clan coming. When I passed by the main hall before, I heard from grandfather that it seemed that several elders of the clan were coming."

"Someone from the Bo's Mansion will also come. It seems that all the Hua family members who practiced with Fourth Brother and the others will come. Oh, and Young Master Hongqi and Miss Shu Ran from the Prince's Family will also come."

"Then there are the people from the Sheng family. I don't know who exactly will be coming from the Sheng family, but at least we have to prepare a few tables for them."

"Adding some other relatives and friends, the front and back yards combined might just be enough for us to sit."

At this point, Hua Liulang suddenly sighed: "I used to think that our house had two courtyards, which was considered good in the capital, but now, I think our house is still too small."

"This is just my eldest brother's engagement. If he gets married, there will be more people coming. I'm afraid we won't even have enough space to accommodate the guests."

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "My eldest brother is getting married, so if there is any headache, it should be him. Why are you worrying about it?"

Hua Liulang smiled and said, "I am just thinking about myself. When I get married, I am afraid that our family will not even have room to decorate my new house."

Hua Changxi rolled his eyes and said, "If I were you, I would find a way to buy a house of my own instead of just staring at this small courtyard."

Hua Liulang thought about how he was stationed at the Fire Spirit Mine. In addition to being able to practice for free in the mine, he could also receive fifty top-grade Fire Spirit Stones every month. He silently calculated the spirit stones he had accumulated and found that compared with his other brothers and sisters in the family, he was already quite wealthy. He immediately chuckled and said, "That's right." The Hua family's yard was busy until midnight before it slowly quieted down.

In the backyard, Master He couldn't get used to sleeping on the Hua family's bed, so he just sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate and practice. As soon as he started practicing, his mind was shaken, and he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Hua Wuniang who was still coaxing the child to sleep: "The spiritual energy in your house is so rich."

After hearing this, Hua Wu Niang smiled and said, "Qi Niang said that Jiu Niang set up a spirit gathering array in the Hua family yard. This way, family members with spiritual roots can practice, and those without spiritual roots can also nourish their bodies."

After hearing this, Mr. He's eyes sparkled and he said with a smile, "I thought that Jiu Niang and your family were having a serious falling out."

Hua Wu Niang paused and said, "Jiu Niang, she is just a bit harsh in her words. She has always been very protective of her family members."

Mr. He San immediately thought of the time when Hua Jiuniang ran to Wuyihou Mansion and made a scene when Hua Wuniang was giving birth: "Yes, she is very protective of her own people."

Hua Wuniang also thought of Hua Changxi standing up for her, smiled, said nothing more, and continued to coax the child with her head down.

Uncle He San didn't ask any more questions. He just carefully felt the spiritual energy in the Hua family's yard. As he absorbed more and more spiritual energy, the shock in his heart became greater and greater.

The He family also specially arranged a training room with a spirit gathering array, but the concentration of spiritual energy was far less than that of the Hua family. In this way, the He family had to spend hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones every month to maintain the operation of the spirit gathering array.

From this, it can be deduced that based on the concentration of spiritual energy in the Hua family's yard, the amount of spirit stones the Hua family uses on the spirit gathering array every month is at least several times that of the He family.

Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are consumed every month, what a huge amount of money!
No, it’s Hua Jiuniang from the Hua family. She must have spiritual ore, otherwise she would not be able to supply the spiritual stones needed for the spirit gathering array.

Master He San's breathing became a little rapid. The He family had used the strength of the entire clan to seize a small spiritual mine, and Hua Jiuniang, who was just a young lady, actually also had a spiritual mine.

"Fifth Lady, what is Ninth Lady's cultivation level?"

Hua Wuniang looked up at Mr. He San and shook her head: "I don't know."

Mr. He San asked again: "Don't other people in the family know?"

Hua Wu Niang shook her head again: "Jiu Niang is a person who values privacy very much. Not to mention other people in the family, even my uncle and aunt may not know everything about Jiu Niang."

Mr. He San was puzzled: "Didn't you say that your uncle and aunt were very nice to Jiu Niang? Then why is Jiu Niang so wary of them?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuniang was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.

Seeing her reaction, Mr. He San smiled and said, "Perhaps, your uncle and aunt are not as good to Jiu Niang as you think, otherwise, Jiu Niang would not hide everything from them. No child would deliberately hide something from their parents when it comes to important matters."

Hua Wu Niang was silent. In her opinion, her uncle and aunt could really be described as loving father and mother to Jiu Niang. Among the sisters in the family, Jiu Niang had the best food and clothing, and did the least work. For this reason, she and her other sisters envied Jiu Niang a lot.

However, when Jiu Niang was punished by her grandparents, she also heard Jiu Niang accusing her uncle and aunt, saying that they did not love her, did not protect her, and even helped her grandparents to bully her.

Is this the reason why Jiu Niang has a grudge against her uncle and aunt?
