C98 What Age Is It to Think That It's Possible to Overlook a Man and Overlook a Woman
The Wei Family Palace was located less than two streets away from the City Lord's Mansion.
The Wei Family Palace was easily recognizable on this street, because it didn't look like an ordinary manor with a pair of stone lions placed in front of it.
It was ten pairs of Stone Qilins in a row!
A row of Stone Qilins filled up the entire outer wall.
These Stone Qilins did not have Wei Family flaunting their wealth; rather, they had entrusted the master of the current Wei Family, Wei Hong, with a wish.
It was that he desperately wanted a son!
When Wei Ziling's mother, Zhao Yurou, gave birth to Wei Ziling, she was unable to bear a child for some reason.
Wei Hong was burning with anxiety. He was begging everywhere, but it was useless.
Since ancient times, there had been a legend about Kirin giving away a child. Wei Hong had placed ten pairs of Stone Kylin in front of the door in a fit of anger.
However, it was a pity that the Stone Qilin did not fulfil its wish for him.
Helpless, he could only acknowledge his foster son, Wei Chengang, to comfort him.
Lee Shi has also heard of this folk rumor, and deeply despised this kind of behavior by Wei Hong.
This was the era of Immortal cultivators. Why were they still holding onto the concept of being inferior to men and women?
Can't a daughter inherit the family business? Can't a daughter cultivate?
I heard that in the center of the continent, there is a powerful empire. The entire imperial court, from the emperor to the officials, is filled with women!
When he came to Wei Family today, the other thing he had to do was to wake up this old man who valued boys more than girls, and completely settle the grudge between Wei Ziling and his family!
"Young Master, you're back!"
"Eh? Miss, you're back too?! "
The two door guards saw Wei Chengang and Wei Ziling and excitedly welcomed them.
Wei Chengang lightly nodded, and asked: "Has the Trinity City, young master I invited, arrived yet?"
"Not long after we arrived, the old master and his wife were entertaining them in the living room, following behind Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Miss Yang. The kitchen is already preparing a banquet for them."
Lee Shi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't think that Yang Luokui was also in Wei Family.
Lee Shi had always held a respectful attitude towards this woman.
Although Lee Shi's opinion of him had improved a lot after the incident in Pavilion Valley last time.
Unfortunately, Yang Luokui had once tried to seduce Lee Shi with her seductive skills. Although she failed in the end and suffered a backlash, Lee Shi still felt goosebumps when he saw her.
Hopefully, the plan that he was going to come up with later wouldn't be affected by her …
Wei Chengang led the group into the mansion. During the journey, they would occasionally pass through long corridors, passing by countless pavilions in the waterside pavilion.
Although the Wei Family palace was not as exaggerated as Lee Shi's description, just looking at the size of the manor, it was actually not that much smaller than the City Lord's Mansion.
After returning home, Wei Ziling showed no signs of being happy. She pouted her lips and gloomily followed along at the side.
Adai, on the other hand, was like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.
Lee Shi was observing the interior scene of the Wei Family from the corner of his eyes, while constantly being on guard against the Flame Zither on Adai's back.1
After roughly half the time it took to drink a cup of tea, everyone had finally arrived at the Wei Family Guest Hall.
As they entered the hall, they attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
At the main seat in the hall sat a slightly fat middle-aged man. He had a round face that was not too eye-catching and his skin was slightly sunburned.
This person should be the current Patriarch of Wei Family — Wei Hong!
Beside him was a purple-clothed woman who still retained her charm. Looking at her face, she looked sixty to seventy percent similar to Wei Ziling. She should be Madam Wei Family, Wei Ziling's mother — Zhao Yurou was unmistakable.
