Chapter 104 – Xie Ying’s Little News

Wei Ruo didn’t dare to be interested in the activities of a group of ladies and young ladies, but was very interested in going around the streets of the Prefecture.

So after simply dressing up, she joyfully followed Yun out the door.

However, Yun asked Wei Ruo and Wei Qing Ruo to stay in the carriage as long as possible, and if they wanted to get off the carriage and go into the store, they had to wear the drapery hat and not take it off easily, and the maids had to follow closely behind them.

Wei Ruo naturally couldn’t stay, and got out of the car when she arrived at the lively place and wandered around among the various store vendors.

After turning around for a short while, he came across Xie Ying.

“Wakey-wakey!”

Xie Ying’s sharp eyes spotted Wei Ruo first, and she jumped and ran towards Wei Ruo.

Unlike Wei Ruo who wore a drape, Xie Ying did not cover up and was generous.

“Ruo Ruo what are you doing dressed like this, how inconvenient, if it wasn’t for the fact that I recognized the material that I personally chose, I wouldn’t have recognized that it was you.” Xie Ying said.

The clothes Wei Ruo is wearing now are only recently rushed out, using the very same cloud brocade satin that Xie Ying sent her.

Wei Ruo smiled, and could only say that the Xie family really doted on Xie Ying, and could go by her nature.

“By the way, why did you come to Prefecture City, I didn’t hear you mention that you were coming too before.” Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.

“I came to the capital city is not because the governor’s wife invited, although my grandfather rose to the fourth grade, but my father is still a sesame seed big official, and because my mother comes from the merchant, they are more or less pedantic people do not see. Of course my mother is also too lazy to join them, so she is happy not to come.” Xie Ying explained.

“Then why did you come?” Wei Ruo wondered.

“I came to play, my brother is over here, these few days you were away, so I told my mother to simply let mister rest for a few days as well, my mother agreed.” Xie Ying said with a proud face.

“So it is.”

“Ruoruo, my brother has booked a cruise on the East Lake, why don’t you come with me to play!” Xie Ying said to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo turned back to look at the carriage behind her, Yun was still in the car.

Seeing Wei Ruo’s concern, Xie Ying said, “Don’t worry, I’ll let the Sister who follows me talk, I won’t talk about my brother, just the two of us, with such a large group of household servants behind me, there’s no reason for your mother not to agree.”

After saying that, Xie Ying explained the matter to the Sister who followed her.

Then the Sister went over to the Wei family’s carriage and talked to Yun in the carriage, and soon the Sister returned and told Wei Ruo and Xie Ying that Mrs. Wei had agreed.

“Let’s go.” Xie Ying held Wei Ruo’s hand, and the two of them boarded the Xie family’s carriage, heading towards East Lake.

As soon as she got into the car, Xie Ying took off the drapery hat that Wei Ruo was wearing that she thought was an eyesore.

On the way to the East Lake, Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying, “Is your brother in the Prefecture these days because of that nobleman?”

“Yes I guess, he didn’t go into detail, but I guessed that the odds are that it’s because of the Seventh Highness.” Xie Ying said.

Immediately after that, he said to Wei Ruo, “In fact, your Wei family also knows that he is the Seventh Highness, right? There are people in your capital city, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t know.”

Wei Ruo nodded his head, followed by: “I just don’t know why he will stay so long in Taizhou province. To say is for the Japanese matter, now has already fought a victory, he returned to the capital also good account, as for me that the city south of the barren land thing, he left a subordinate in the line, so a little bit of small thing is not guilty of him personally staring.”

“I’ve heard a rumor about this matter.” Xie Ying said.

“Rumors?”

“I’m telling you you don’t say it outside oh.” Xie Ying whispered.

“Uh-huh.”

“I’ve heard that the Seventh Highness might be looking for the one that the late Empress gave birth to.”

“Didn’t the imperial son born to the previous Empress die at birth?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I also do not know the specific situation, just heard as if the year actually did not die, was the first empress’s maiden family – Xu Guo Gong’s old department secretly sent to Jiangnan. But then there is news that is caught Xu Guo Gong’s old department always has close ties with the Jiangnan area, and suspected that it was the imperial son who did not die back then.” Xie Ying said some of the gossip he heard.

As to whether it’s true or not is unknown.

“It should be a misunderstanding then.” Wei Ruo muttered.

Because the original, the early death of the ninth prince did not appear, to the male lead Chu Lan ascended the throne did not appear, should not exist.

“I also think it’s more likely that it’s a misunderstanding, if it’s really alive, it’ll be a mess.” Xie Ying muttered and didn’t say much.

There are some things where a little bit of curiosity is all it takes, and a little bit is all it takes, but any more than that is going to get you and your family in trouble.

It didn’t take long for the carriage to arrive at the East Lake.

Xie Ying and Wei Ruo got out of the car with the help of the maids.

On the shore, Jue Xie was waiting for his sister to arrive.

He originally thought that the only person who came was his naughty sister, but he didn’t expect that he also brought Wei Ruo with him.

The moment he saw Wei Ruo, the smile on Xie Jue’s face enlarged, his eyes burning as he looked towards Wei Ruo, who was dressed in a light blue satin jacket and skirt, and wore a simple but unruly hair bun.

Wei Ruo walked up to Jue Xie and slightly saluted, “Greetings, Mr. Xie.”

“No need to be polite.” Jue Xie said, his right hand, which was cupping the fan, somewhat unsure of where to place it.

Xiu Mei, who was following behind Wei Ruo, wanted to laugh a little, thinking that this Duke Xie was not subconsciously nervous about seeing her and Miss because he was beaten by him last time, right?

“Don’t dawdle, get on the boat.” Xie Ying was impatient and didn’t like to dawdle, so without waiting for her brother to respond, she pulled Wei Ruo onto the boat.

Jue Xie followed suit and ordered the ship to sail.

The cruise ship gradually pulls away from the shore and paddles towards the center of the East Lake.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying sat in the tea room of the cabin, watching the scenery on the lake through the raised curtains.

The breeze is fresh and the water is rippling.

Looking at the teapot placed in front of her, Wei Ruo took out two paper packets from the brocade bag she carried with her, giving one to Xie Ying and one to herself.

After opening the paper packet, the contents were poured into a tea bowl and then into the hot water available on board to brew.

“What is it?” Xie Ying was curious.

“Flower herbal tea.” Wei Ruo replied, “It uses dried honeysuckle flowers, dried jasmine flowers and a few herbs that regulate qi and replenish blood, it’s formulated to have a sweet but not astringent flavor, try it.”

Smiling, Xie Ying also hurriedly brewed his own as well.

Before he could get to the tasting, Jue Xie walked in and flirted with a smile, “Sister Wei, I’d like to ask for a cup of this flower herbal tea as well.”

Xie Ying gave Xie Jue a blank look, “Brother, why do you like asking for Ruo Ruo’s stuff so much?”

“Wei’s sister’s things are good ah, can’t be bought elsewhere, if you don’t seize the opportunity to ask for a share at this moment, you’ll be out of it later.” Jue Xie said honestly.

“That seems right.” Xie Ying agreed.

Wei Ruo smiled, then took out all the remaining tea bags in the brocade bag and handed them to Jue Xie, “If Mr. Xie likes them, I’ll give them all to Mr. Xie.”
