Chapter 35: The Legendary Uncle_1

The Mu family, Baili Xia knew it would be big even before she got there.

However, she did not expect it to be this massive.

This place was situated halfway up the hill, and it was said that the entire top of the hill belonged to the Mu family.

The villa halfway up the hill alone occupied at least a thousand acres, not to mention the areas dedicated to greening.

The entire Mu family was like a castle, but of course, the castle wasn’t home to just one household.

It was said that the old man had four sons, the eldest and the second son each lived in separate courtyards after their marriages.

The third son…

Ye Ying didn’t talk much about him, but from his words, it seemed that Mr.

Xuri is no longer around.

Mr.

Four, the youngest son of the old man, was called Uncle Four by the juniors and lived in the main house just like the old man.

Aside from Uncle Four, two other young masters, both sons of Mr.

Xuri and grandchildren of the old man, also resided in the main house.

Of course, even though they all lived in the main house, each person had their own courtyard.

As for the old man’s eldest son and second son, each family had a large courtyard of their own, located within the household, albeit far apart.

Put it this way, it would take at least half an hour to walk from the main house to the courtyard of the eldest son and it was the same for Mr.

Mu’s place.

So, saying the Mu family is big is an understatement.

Even though everyone lives under one roof, they wouldn’t see each other unless they willingly sought each other out.

This place had a very classic name, the Mu Mansion.

The main house was the core area of the Mu Mansion, the center was occupied by the old man, with grand and majestic architecture.

On the eastern side was a courtyard with a particularly striking style, which Baili Xia noticed first thing in the morning.

“Sihai Residence?” The courtyard was very classic, at a glance it might seem plain, but each brick and tile was undoubtedly valuable.

Red walls and green tiles were rare sights in this era of modernization.

“That’s the residence of the youngest master, Uncle Four.” Ye Ying spent the entire morning by her side, guiding her around and familiarizing her with the new environment.

So, this was the rumored Uncle Four…

In the morning, when the maid was introducing the family situation, her eyes were full of fascination when she spoke of the youngest master.

Uncle Four was a weighty figure in the household.

They say he was the old man’s favorite among all the family members.

Not only did the old man dote on him, but he also listened to him.

Compared to the eldest son and the second son, the youngest son’s status seemed considerably higher.

Nevertheless, she was here to take refuge, all she wanted was a simple life.

She didn’t need to deliberately get close to these “celebrities”.

She took another turn and looked at the courtyards of Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao, sons of the eldest son.

Each had its distinctive features, but none were as memorable as the “Sihai Residence”.

These two young masters were sons of the eldest son, yet, the old man had them live with him.

Baili Xia did not understand, nor did she want to understand the complex relationships within wealthy families.

After all, it didn’t concern her much.

When she returned to the main house, there were a lot more people in the hall.

The old man Mu Zhentian was sitting at the head of the sofa.

Seeing Baili Xia and Ye Ying entering, he busily beckoned her over, “Xiaxia, come here, Grandpa will introduce you to everyone.”

Baili Xia walked briskly over and stood obediently by his side.

“Is this Mr.

Baili’s granddaughter?

She’s all grown up now.”

The middle-aged man sitting not far to the left of Mu Zhentian looked at Baili Xia and said with a gentle smile, “Xiaxia, I’m your Uncle Dongyu.

When you were little, I used to hold you.”
