■Wanwan…” Wei Yichen felt a pang in his heart, saying tenderly, “Indeed, with your devotion, our family will get better. I will also have a proper discussion with Ruoruo later. Wanwan, please don’t blame her. Once she realizes, she would understand that you did not intend to do it and she would be aware of

her own mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, brother, I won’t hold a grudge against sister. I understand her feelings well. She has only recently returned to the mansion, so I should empathize with her more. Brother, please stop worrying about me and go find our sister. She probably needs your understanding and comfort more than me.” Wei Qingwan replied.

Looking at Wei Qingwan like this, Wei Yichen was deeply moved.

Seeing that it was late, Wei Yichen said to Wei Qingwan, “You should rest well and don’t think about what happened today.”

Wei Qingwan nodded.

Then, Wei Yichen watched as Wei Qingwan entered the room. After that, he returned to his place to write family rules.

At the same time, just as Wei Ruo stepped forward into the Tingsong Garden,

Wei Yilin followed closely behind.

“What’s the matter?”

Wei Ruo turned her head to look at Wei Yilin, who was standing at her doorstep. She felt he had something to say.

Wei Yilin remained silent, seeming upset. He turned his head, sitting down on the wicker chair Wei Ruo had placed in the yard. He was sitting still, his mouth pouting, apparently disgruntled about something.

It appeared that he was angry about her slapping Wei Qingwan, but for some reason, he didn’t say anything directly. He just stared at her with his small

eyes.

Wei Ruo waited for him a little longer, but when he still didn’t speak, she ignored him and entered her room.

Seeing her young mistress ignoring him, Xiumei also ignored him and went into the room to attend to Wei Ruo.

The young mistress’s cheeks needed to be medicated, lest her face would swell

up.

After Wei Ruo applied the ointment sitting in front of the dressing table, she glanced out of the window to the yard. Under the moonlight, she saw Wei Yilin still sitting on the wicker chair.

“Is he planning to spend the whole night in the young mistress’s yard?” Xiumei said.

“If he wants to sit, just let him sit. It’s not cold these days. Moreover, he is in good health. Sitting for a night wouldn’t cause him any harm.” Wei Ruo said, paused, then added, “Bring him some pastries and tea, and a blanket.”

“Okay.”

Xiumei did as she was told, bringing pastries and orange tea to Wei Yilin’s side, and covering him with the blanket.

Wei Yilin took a glance, but still remained silent, still seeming upset.

Xiumei returned to Wei Ruo and said, “Miss, I can’t quite figure out whether he’s angry at you or feeling upset with himself!

Wei Ruo said, “Perhaps both. After all, I hit his dear sister Wanwan. If it had been before, he’d probably have fought me already!”

To be honest, the fact that Wei Yilin didn’t directly rush over to argue with her was indeed quite unexpected.

Wei Yilin sat in the yard for more than an hour. Only when Wei Ruo came to the yard again, did he finally stand up.

He puffed up his cheeks, and then with his notion of a serious expression, he said to Wei Ruo, “You can’t do this next time!”

“Do what?” Wei Ruo asked.

“You can’t hit Sister Wanwan. You can be angry, but you can’t vent your anger on innocent Sister Wanwan. She may have misspoken, but she definitely didn’t mean to!” Wei Yilin said, his little face stern.

“So you’ve been sitting here all this time just to tell me this?”

“This is serious! Today, you’re the one who was wronged, but you ended up hitting Sister Wanwan. Now I’m torn between feeling sorry for you and angry at you!” Wei Yilin said, his voice muffled.

“It sounds like you’re quite conflicted.”

“Anyway, promise me you won’t do it again next time. Then I won’t be angry anymore today,” Wei Yilin said after pondering for over an hour, finally reaching this conclusion.

“I can’t promise that, and 1 don’t even think I did anything wrong today. If you want to stay angry, you can continue to do so,” Wei Ruo clearly stated.

“You… How can you…” Wei Yilin, frustrated by Wei Ruo’s response, stomped his foot.

“Wei Yilin, I have my own principles when it comes to doing things. I didn’t do anything wrong today. Your so-called innocent Sister Wanwan did say something misleading, more than once. You can argue that it wasn’t intentional, but that doesn’t mean she’s guiltless. Besides, how do you know that she didn’t do it on purpose?”

“She definitely didn’t do it on purpose! You don’t understand Sister Wanwan. She’s always nice to everyone, she wouldn’t deliberately mislead Big Brother. There’s no advantage for her to do so! Sister Wanwan is neither bad nor stupid!” Wei Yilin explained.

“That’s your opinion. I don’t think so. Without any factual basis, you can’t demand that I must think the same way as you do.”

If it were any other day, Wei Ruo wouldn’t bother to argue so much with Wei Yilin. But since Wei Yilin had stood up for her earlier, Wei Ruo thought to go along with the flow and said a few more words.

Although she spoke, Wei Ruo didn’t expect that these words would change Wei Yilin’s thinking.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips and didn’t say a word for a long while. But from his expression, it was evident that he was still unconvinced and probably wanted to continue persuading Wei Ruo.

“Enough, it’s already too late. Go home. Whether you’re angry or whatever, you can’t cope with me right now. It’s better to go back home, have a good sleep and recharge.”

Wei Ruo said, reaching out to pull Wei Yilin’s arm, directing him towards the yard’s exit.

Wei Yilin was reluctant, but he didn’t resist.

After pushing Wei Yilin out of Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo closed the gate. Looking at the closed gate, Wei Yilin stomped his foot and then walked dejectedly toward his own place.

By the end of the fourth lunar month, the weather warmed again. With sufficient sunlight and rainfall, it was the perfect time for rice shoots to grow rapidly, and also the harvesting season for winter wheat.

Wei Mingting’s health had improved significantly in the past few days, and he was already able to get out of bed and move around.

Ever since that day, Wei Ruo had been visiting Wei Mingting at Cangyun Garden every day. Wei Mingting no longer mentioned the issue that Wei Ruo caused that day. Instead, he asked Wei Ruo some questions about the field work.

“In the last few days, Mr. Qian from Xingshan County sent me a message saying that the wheat you asked to plant grew well. The farmers, who were reclaiming the wasteland south of the city, have started to harvest gradually, and the harvested wheat has a high yield, and the grains are full. Everyone is overjoyed.”

The success of that wheat harvest meant the successful completion of the wasteland renovation project south of Xingshan County City. This was considered a significant achievement for Mr. Qian who was the Magistrate and the seventh prince who presided over the project, thus they were naturally overjoyed.

“Hmm, that’s good.” Wei Ruo had known about this news already, and it was also what she expected.

“Ruo indeed did a great deed for the people.” Wei Yichen once again commended..
