Chapter 170: “Don’t break your honor.

“Uh, good.” Wei Ruo agreed, a bright smile on her face.

Looking at this smile, Wei Jin also couldn’t help but soften his gaze.

Immediately afterward, Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo, “Can we go back later today?”

Wei Ruo nodded.

Seeing this, the agitated Xiao Bei hurriedly said, “Then I’ll go prepare food, although our courtyard is small, the kitchen is not!”

It had been a long time since several of them had sat down to a meal together.

Hearing this Xiu Mei busily said, “You are so bad at cooking, good ingredients are wasted for you, it’s better to let me do it.”

“Yes, yes, Miss Xiu Mei is right.” Xiao Bei said with a smile.

And then the two of them went into the kitchen together.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jin Yi hadn’t even said they wanted to have dinner together, but Xiao Bei and Xiu Mei had already gotten busy first.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also glanced at each other, and Wei Ruo smiled, “It seems that my Meimei wants to stay even more than I do.”

While Xiu Mei and Xiao Bei were working together inside the kitchen, Wei Ruo was ready to sit in the main house with Wei Jin Yi.

Wei Jin also stopped, “I’ll go move the tables and chairs out.”

Wei Ruo asked, “Why?”

Wei Jin also, “Men and women are different.”

Wei Ruo laughed: “Men and women are different just now second brother still pulled my hand?”

At that, Wei Jin was also a bit embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer.

Wei Ruo continued, “We are brother and sister, there are some rules that we don’t need to be so concerned about.”

Wei Ruo body in the end is still loaded with the soul of modern people, her heart between men and women is the need to avoid but will not be harsh to the same room can not stay, especially the other party is still and their own blood relations with their elder brother.

“Thou shalt not dishonor thee.”

Wei Jin Yi replied and then went inside to move all the tables and chairs to the courtyard.

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but suspect that once upon a time, every time she went to Welcome Bamboo Court, she could see him reading, writing and painting in the pavilion, and when they had their meals together, they were all in the pavilion, so maybe it wasn’t that he was so fond of doing his work inside the pavilion, it was just so that he wouldn’t be sharing the same roof with her.

Wei Jin also insisted, so Wei Ruo didn’t say anything.

And then he sat down in the chair he had moved and made small talk with him.

The two of them were just like the old days in the Welcoming Bamboo Garden, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, some things might not be the same, but some things didn’t seem to have changed in any way.

After that Xiu Mei and Xiao Bei brought up the prepared meal.

Xiu Mei and Wei Ruo lamented that the kitchen here was bigger and better than the small kitchen in Ying Zhu Yuan.

Xiao Bei, on the other hand, couldn’t help but praise Xiu Mei’s craftsmanship again, “Miss Xiu Mei is really great, obviously all the same ingredients, I made it out of the bland and uninteresting, but Miss Xiu Mei made it so that people’s fingers are tingling, lips and teeth are full of flavor, mouth watering, and can’t stop.”

Xiu Mei laughed, “Xiao Bei, those few idioms you learned from your young master are all used in this, aren’t they?”

Xiao Bei laughed in embarrassment, scratching his head as he replied, “Don’t make fun of me, Eldest Miss, I’m not bookish material, I’m far behind Young Master, I can’t tell others that I learned from my Young Master, and bring shame to my Young Master.”

Xiu Mei laughed, “You’d better learn cooking from me, or be careful that your young master doesn’t want you in the future.”

Xiao Bei hurriedly promised, “I’m learning, I’m learning, as long as Miss Xiu Mei is free to teach me more, I promise to study hard and learn a trade as soon as possible, so that I won’t be sold by my young master in the future!”

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei were both amused by Xiao Bei’s words, and a gentle smile could be vaguely seen on Wei Jin Yi’s face.

And then the four of them had their evening meal together in this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

After the evening meal, it was getting late.

“It’s getting late, I’ll go back first today.” Wei Ruo was really leaving this time.

“Uh-huh.”

Wei Jin also escorted Wei Ruo to the door, then watched her walk out of the alley.

Wei Ruo returned to the carriage and headed for the school captain’s residence.

“Miss, those people just now didn’t look simple, that woman called Lin Fang looked enchanting and charming, but I felt that she was also a practiced fighter. When I tried to squeeze inside the door at the very beginning, she was a bit unresponsive at first, but after she reacted, her strength and speed of response were awesome.”

Although it was only a short exchange of hands, Xiu Mei still sensed the difference in the other party’s generality with the acumen of a person who practiced martial arts.

“Hmm, I feel it too.” Although Wei Ruo was not a martial arts practitioner, he could also sense something.

“Miss, what exactly do you think the Second Young Master is doing nowadays? Why do I feel that it’s very uncomplicated!” Xiu Mei said with some curiosity and some worry.

“There’s no need to think too much, there are some things that we can’t control, and it’s useless to think about them.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo wasn’t completely without doubts, it was just that it was useless for her to doubt.

There were no such scenes in the original story, and even if she knew the original plot she couldn’t guess what Wei Jin Yi was doing now.

“That’s true, as long as the second young master is good to you, miss, and won’t hurt second miss, I won’t worry about what he’s going to do on his own.” Xiu Mei said.

###

After Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei left, a few silhouettes came over the fence to Wei Jin Yi’s side.

Two of them were the couple Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang that Wei Ruo had just met.

A few of them were supposed to stay here to protect Wei Jin Yi, so they wouldn’t go far.

The party walked away only to avoid Wei Ruo, so that it would be convenient for Wei Ruo to talk to their master.

“Master, that maid beside the eldest young lady has extraordinary skills, not like a maid from an ordinary family.” Lin Fang reported to Wei Jin also.

“I know about this matter, you don’t need to be suspicious of the two of them, master and servant.” Wei Jin also said.

Wei Jin Yi’s answer directly dispelled several people’s suspicions about Wei Ruo’s master and servant.

“Master, then our plan to infiltrate the governor’s residence ……”

“Proceed as planned.” Wei Jin also said.

The Governor’s Mansion had something important to them, but the Governor’s Mansion was arguably the most heavily guarded place in the entire Taizhou Prefecture.

The Yuan family was originally a hairpin family, and there were house slaves with extraordinary skills that they had cultivated since childhood in their residence.

What’s more, Mrs. Yuan was the Jingmin County Princess, and she had always been surrounded by experts out of the Huaiwang Palace for close protection.

To successfully get something from the governor’s house requires careful planning.

“Subordinates lead the way!” Several people replied.

Early the next morning, Yun called Wei Ruo to her room to discuss with Wei Ruo about formally visiting Mrs. Yuan.

“Your father is now an official of the sixth rank and has moved his residence to the Prefecture, it is only right that we should go and pay our respects to Madam Zhifu; not to mention that you, Ruo’er, have been taken care of by Madam Yuan many times in the Prefecture, so it is only right that you, as a mother, should make a visit to pay your respects.” Yun said to Wei Ruo.

“This matter can be decided by mother.” Wei Ruo returned.

Wei Ruo knew that this offer from Yun was reasonable, as long as she didn’t have any other demands or objectives.

“I have prepared some thin gifts, Ruo’er take a look, if there’s nothing wrong, later on, you will go to the governor’s mansion together with my mother.” Yun said.
