Ever since she came back from Xia Manor, Zhu Yuhe had become even more restless than before, especially after she learned of the drastic change in Xia Tian's character.
She looked pensive on the balcony of her room, as she kept sighing at the thought of her condition, but she also didn't dare to make a decision, because her situation was too complicated, and she also had to think about her daughter's feelings.
'I really don't understand how he could have changed so drastically, and he really has become like someone else, but I have a hunch that Ying'er is hiding something from me about his change.' Zhu Yuhe kept muttering in her heart, as she looked up at the clear sky, but suddenly she saw Xia Tian's face in the clouds. 'What the heck!? I must have really gone crazy! I even saw the clouds as if I saw his face!'
Zhou Xuan who was watching her from afar could only shake her head, and she inwardly said. 'If this continues, sooner or later Yuhe will surely fall into his arms. But I'm still curious about the energy that came out of Xia Tian's body last night, moreover the effect was so severe for Yuhe.'
*Tap... Tap...*
Zhao Xuan turned towards the sound of the footsteps, she smiled bitterly at the person walking in, then she said. "Didn't you go together with Suyin, Little Lian? Why did you come back so soon?"
"En, I did go with Suyin, Aunt Xuan." Zhu Honglian replied with a nod, but then she added with a tinge of anger and jealousy. "But I suddenly met that man, moreover he was so intimate with his personal maid, and it ruined my mood, so I decided to go home."
Hearing such tone of Zhu Honglian's voice, Zhou Xuan was pensive, and thought deeply. 'It seems that Little Lian still cares a lot about Xia Tian, ??I really can't imagine if mother and daughter fall in love with the same man. Will they share a husband later?'
Zhu Honglian then turned to her mother, and she raised her eyebrows, because her mother looked so unusual, she didn't even notice her presence, so she asked Zhou Xuan. "What happened to my mother, Aunt Xuan? Why do I feel that she is so strange today."
'She's still thinking about your ex-fiancé, you know. That's why she's acting weird like that.' Zhou Xuan inwardly said, then she gently pushed Zhu Honglian to her mother, and she followed behind her.
"Mom!" Zhu Yuhe immediately came back to her senses, and her heart skipped a beat as soon as she saw her daughter, but Zhu Honglian suddenly asked frantically. "What's the matter with you, Mom? Why does your face look so pale?"
"It's... It's nothing, Honglian. Mom is fine, and I'm just a little tired." Zhu Yuhe replied by turning her gaze to the side, as she felt guilty towards her daughter, moreover Xia Tian's image still kept popping up in her mind.
Zhu Honglian looked at her mother suspiciously, because her mother didn't dare to look her in the eyes, and it made her wonder if something had happened to her mother. "Obviously you lied to me, Mom."
"We just came back from Xia Manor, and nothing happened, Little Lian." Zhou Xuan inwardly sighed at Zhu Yuhe's mental state.
Zhu Honglian raised her eyebrows hearing Xia Manor. "Hmm? Why did you two go to the Xia Manor?"
"We went there to confirm something about your ex-fiancé, Little Lian." Zhou Xuan said meaningfully, then she glanced at Zhu Yuhe who looked terrified when she mentioned Xia Tian. "And I'm sure you'd be in shock to hear about him now."
"I wouldn't be shocked if he brought another woman to Xia Manor, he's even so affectionate with her personal maid." Despite her words, Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan could feel both sadness and jealousy in her tone.
Zhou Xuan laughed softly at her, then she stroked Zhu Honglian's head, and explained. "You are wrong, Little Lian. The current Xia Tian is no longer as rude, unruly, and impudent as before. But he is now more calm, polite, and mature. Moreover, his spiritual root has recovered, and his cultivation has reached 9th Stage Qi Gathering Realms."(f)reewebnovel.com
"Huh?" Zhu Honglian was stunned by the news about Xia Tian, ??she kept blinking in disbelief.
Zhou Xuan then continued. "Not only that, Xia Tian even asked Old Man Ling to build a new training ground designed by him, because he wants to train his physique."
Zhu Honglian looked at Zhou Xuan in disbelief, but suddenly she remembered when she met Xia Tian earlier, she felt that Xia Tian did look different from before. "Is that true, Aunt Xuan? But how did he change so drastically?" f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
"We don't know, Honglian. Because Ying'er didn't tell us in detail." Zhu Yuhe, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. "He no longer has that debauchee demeanor, but he exudes such a divine vibe, and you'll understand when you meet and talk to the current Xia Tian directly."
But Zhu Honglian snorted instead. "Who wants to meet him? I don't care about him even if he has changed, after all he is no longer my fiancee, and he already has that girl."
Even though she said that, in her heart, Zhu Honglian was also curious about how far Xia Tian had changed. "Anyway, I will return to my room to continue cultivating."
She rushed out of her mother's bedroom, but she did not return to her room as she said, but instead she went towards the exit of the palace.
"It seems that Honglian still cares about Xia Tian." Zhu Yuhe's heart was completely chaotic seeing her daughter as well as Xia Tian's unceasing figure appearing in her mind.

Xia Manor - Xia Tian Room
Xia Tian who had just returned home with Mo Xiaoqi, he was immediately dragged by Liu Ying into his room, and she asked seriously. "Did you also seduce Sister Yuhe to be your partner, Tian?"
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, then he pulled Liu Ying onto his lap as he laughed softly, and he whispered to her. "Are you jealous, Ying'er?"
"Who... Who's jealous!? I... I'm not jealous." Liu Ying stammered, and her face turned bright red, she didn't want to admit that she was indeed jealous of Zhu Yuhe.
[Hehe, she really is jealous of Zhu Yuhe, Master! Anyway, she's your mother but she's not your mother either, so why should you wait for her to be ready, it would be best if you eat her right away.]
Xia Tian's mouth twitched at Alice's words, he felt that Alice was getting wild and lewd. He then shook his head, and blew Liu Ying's ear, as he whispered again. "Just admit that you're jealous of Yuhe, and be my partner, Ying'er."
