Chapter 16: The Nurse Comes

“Huai Bei Town is in Huzhou Prefecture.” Wei Jin also said.

“Right, Missy is from Wyoming North Town, no wonder she has this paper!”

“This paper is not cheap.” Wei Jin also said in a deep voice.

Ordinary paper ten pieces of one penny, but the four treasures of paper a piece of five pennies, the price is fifty times the price of ordinary paper.

The key is that the four treasures of the paper is not good to buy, it is expensive, but because the quality is particularly good, many noble sons and daughters scramble to buy, resulting in the four treasures of the daily limited number of sales, while stocks last.

And Wei Ruo casually gave him twenty.

Where did she get the money? And why is she so nice to him? What’s her agenda?

###

After returning to Listening Pine Court Wei Ruo lazily laid down on the bed.

When you eat and drink, the blood goes to the gut and the brain empties out, making it suitable for geeking out.

“Miss, why do I feel that you are nicer to the second young master than you are to the old master and madam and the eldest young master and the others? I feel that the Eldest Young Master is nicer to Miss than the Second Young Master, the Second Young Master is cold, he doesn’t even want to pay attention to Miss, on the contrary, the Eldest Young Master is gentler and more considerate, and he even vacated the courtyard he lives in to let Miss have it.” Xiu Mei was curious.

“Because I’m not stressed out with the second youngest.”

“Stress for the youngest?”

“There is, if I’m nice to the First Young Master, it’ll be assumed that I’m competing for favor, but the Second Young Master himself is transparent, there’s no pressure for me to be nice or bad to him, I can be spontaneous.”

“Well, I don’t know much about all this, but I know what the lady thinks must be right.”

Wei Ruo smiled shallowly, in fact, it was not just a matter of not wanting to compete for favor.

She had taken over the original owner’s memories, and because she was a fetus wearer, whether she wanted to or not, she would carry some emotions when confronted with the family members who had hurt and abandoned her in her previous life.

It wasn’t something she could control if she wanted to, it was something that couldn’t simply be suppressed with rational thought.

She also knew that the original owner’s final death could not be dissociated from her own death-defying actions, but the original owner’s longing for her family’s love and care, and the despair of being abandoned by her family in the end had been deeply engraved in Wei Ruo’s heart.

So even if Yun and Wei Yi Chen were treating her well now, there was no way for her to face them with an open heart.

On the contrary, Wei Jin Yi, he did not leave any traces among the original owner’s memories, and he was an insignificant existence in the original story, so she did not have any stigma when facing him, and she did not need to have extra worries.

When she was facing Wei Jin Yi it was the same as when she was facing her neighbors in Mo Jia Jie, as long as the other party didn’t have bad intentions towards her, she could be frank and friendly with the other party, and she would also give the other party some help where she could.

That ease and comfort was something Yun and Wei Yi Chen couldn’t give.

The next day, Wei Ruo is picking sweet potatoes issued by the potato vine reduced down for cuttings.

Xiu Mei came back from outside with an anxious look on her face, “Miss, it’s Brother Xiao Yong! The person outside who got into trouble with the guards of the school captain’s residence is Brother Zheng Yong!”

The Zhengyong brother in Xiu Mei’s mouth is Xu Zhengyong, the son of Wei Ruo’s nanny, Xu Mama.

“What’s all the fuss about?”

“I heard voices inside the door, mom Xu has been delivering letters to the guards at the door for the past two days, wanting to see miss, but all of them have been stopped and driven away by the guards. Brother Zheng Yong couldn’t stand it, so he came here on behalf of Mama Xu today, and ended up arguing with the guards, saying that they had delivered the letter according to the rules of the school captain’s residence, so why did they just not deliver it.”

Xiu Mei was so anxious that her head was sweating, “I told you that according to the date Xu Mama should have arrived, so it was the letter that couldn’t be delivered!”

“Don’t worry, follow me to the door.”

Wei Ruo put down the potato vines in her hands, cleaned herself up a little, and led Xiu Mei toward the door.

When he came to the door, he saw Xu Zhengyong who was arguing with the guards of the school captain’s residence.

A fourteen year old boy, his skin was a bronze color from years of being out in the sun, and he was dressed as a crop duster.

Because of the argument, the teenager went from blush to neck.

Seeing Wei Ruo come out, the eyes of the teenager who had just been downcast suddenly had a light in them, and just as he was about to open his mouth to call out to Wei Ruo, his mind immediately remembered his mother’s advice.

Mother said, now Miss Ruo’er is the Miss of the school lieutenant’s house, and more and more different than in the past, and asked him to be more careful and pay attention to what he said, and never to cause trouble to Miss.

So Xu Zhengyong held his tongue.

Wei Yi Chen was already at the door when Wei Ruo arrived.

Seeing Wei Ruo coming over, Wei Yi Chen said to her, “Don’t go over there, and never go out to watch the fun when an outside male is causing trouble in front of the house.”

“He’s my nanny’s son.” Wei Ruo said.

Mighty Wei Yi Chen frowned, then looked at the teenager in the doorway.

“You can’t see him, but if you want to see your nanny, I’ll go and arrange it for you.”

“Good, then please don’t let the guards embarrass him.” Wei Ruo said.

“Uh, good.” Wei Yi Chen agreed, then turned around and headed out the door.

He explained a few words to the guards, and they let go of Xu Zhengyong.

Wei Yi Chen returned to the door and informed Wei Ruo, “I spoke with that person and asked his mother to come tomorrow. That teenager isn’t young anymore, he can’t easily go in and out of the women’s place in the backyard, and you should pay some attention to meeting with him in the future.”

“Good.”

“This matter you go and talk to mother, you and milkmaid exchanges mother won’t stop, but home matters also need to inform mother in advance.” Wei Yi Chen spoke in a serious tone.

“Good.”

Wei Yi Chen looked at Wei Ruo’s bright face and wanted to speak.

“Anything else?”

Wei Yi Chen thought for a moment before saying, “When you have free time, go spend more time with mother, don’t always stay in your own courtyard. Mother has exempted you from the rules of inviting her, but you can take the initiative to get closer to mother more often, she will like it.”

“Well, it depends.”

“To keep it in your heart.”

“Oh.”

Wei Ruo didn’t refute or agree, and took Xiu Mei back to Listening Pine Court.

###

The next day, when Mama Xu came back to the school captain’s mansion, the guards didn’t stop her anymore, and led her right to the Listening Pine Court.

“Miss!”

Seeing Wei Ruo, Xu’s mom looked excited.

After scrutinizing Wei Ruo for a while his eyes reddened.

“Why are you crying, Nurse? Isn’t it a happy thing to see me?” Wei Ruo came forward and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears of the milkmaid.

“I am happy, happy! I told you that the He family was so uncaring and unsympathetic, but it turns out that they are not Miss’s real parents! Now it’s good that Miss has found her own parents, not only is she an official master, but she also loves Miss! I’m so happy that you’ve come to the end of your life!”

“Happiness should be laughed at, not cried.” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay, I won’t cry, I won’t cry.”

Wei Ruo helped the milkmaid wipe away her tears and eased her emotions.

“Look at me, I’m so focused on shedding tears that I’ve forgotten my business!”

Mother Xu hurriedly opened the parcel and took out the small wooden box, and when she opened it, inside were neatly arranged small silver ingots.
