Chapter 193 – Appreciation in the Heart

Wei Ruo added, “What Mr. Zhu seeks is inner abundance, while what the ordinary people seek is just the word alive. People have an emptiness in their inner world, probably because they are not so materially deprived, and their bodies do not have great illnesses and disasters. This is probably the reason why Mr. Zhu would have such feelings after experiencing life and death, because this is a situation that Mr. Zhu had not faced before.”

Zhu Zongyue gazed at Wei Ruo, somewhat surprised and pleasantly surprised. Her words seemed to have lifted the fog in his mind.

“I never would have imagined that Mr. Xu would have such a sense of realization at such a young age.” Zhu Zongyue looked at Wei Ruo with a smile in his eyes.

“It’s not about age, it’s about experience. If you had been able to realize how difficult it is to live, maybe you would think differently. Of course, it’s always good to live a rich life, it’s a blessing that many people can’t even ask for. And the fact that you have gained some insights after experiencing this life and death is also considered an unexpected gain.” Wei Ruo said to Zhu Zongyu.

Zhu Zongyue looked at the person in front of him and had an extremely special feeling in his heart.

Even though he was younger than himself, what he did and what he thought made him appreciate him.

He had never had such an opinion of a person before, and Xu Heyu was the first.

At this time the person who went to the Drunken Immortal Residence to send a letter also came back, and also brought back Boss Shen.

When Boss Shen saw Wei Ruo, he first froze for a moment, because the Wei Ruo he had previously seen was bearded, and today’s was beardless.

But only for a moment, soon Shen shopkeeper understood over, must be this young gentleman afraid of their own too young to talk to people without any aura, deliberately pasted some fake beard for himself to do cover up.

Earlier he had thought it wasn’t quite right for this young male to grow so much beard at such a young age, but now it made sense.

Returning to his senses, Boss Shen presented the eight hundred taels of silver tickets that Fan Chengxu had asked him to bring: ”Mr. Xu, this is what my son asked me to give to you.”

Wei Ruo took a look at the silver ticket and was visibly surprised when he saw the numbers.

Eight hundred taels of silver? That’s too much to give, isn’t it?

Wei Ruo turned her head to look at Zhu Zongyue beside her, his face was wrapped in bandages, and she couldn’t see any other expression except for a pair of eyes, which couldn’t see much at the moment.

“Mr. Zhu and Boss Fan are close friends?” Wei Ruo asked.

Otherwise, how could you have gotten as much as 800 taels of silver in exchange for just one letter?

“The interaction is not deep, Boss Fan’s move should be out of trust in my credibility.” Zhu Zongyu explained.

Wei Ruo was half-convinced and continued to ask Boss Shen, “Did your son say anything else?”

Boss Shen said, “My son said, Mr. Xu wants what herbs despite writing a list to me, my son will order people to buy.”

Those precious herbs rare herbs Wei Ruo did not have the methods and channels to get them, but Fan Chengxu should have them.

“Okay, I’ll go write you now.”

Wei Ruo shouted Yu steward to the side, took a pen and paper, let Yu steward pen, Wei Ruo write Yu steward write.

Wei Ruo’s handwriting was better recognized, so Wei Ruo wouldn’t personally execute the pen when dealing with outsiders in Xu Heyu’s capacity.

After writing it, Wei Ruo examined the list, and then handed it over to Boss Shen.

Boss Shen very solemnly put the list into his arms, and then politely asked Wei Ruo, “Does Mr. Xu have any other orders?” ….

“No more.”

“Then I’ll go back first to resume my orders with my husband.”

“Well, thank you.” Wei Ruo said.

After Boss Shen left, Wei Ruo handed the silver ticket to Zhu Zongyue, “This is the money you borrowed, take it yourself.”

Zhu Zongyu didn’t take it, “This is for Mr. Xu’s medical expenses.”

“You’ll have to check with Mr. Yu about the medical expenses later, and he’ll tell you how much silver you should pay. Take the rest of the money first.”

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, she directly shoved the silver ticket into Zhu Zongyue’s hand.

Zhu Zongyue looked at the silver ticket in his hand, his gaze slightly condensed with some strange sentiments.

At this time, Xiu Mei came back after cooking winter melon tea, holding a brown earthen pot in her hand: “Miss!

I’ve made the winter melon tea, try to see if I’ve done a good job!”

“Uh, fetch the bowl and warm water.” Wei Ruo said.

Then he glanced at Zhu Zongyu, “You’ve had almost enough activity today, so sit down and drink a bowl of winter melon tea as well.”

“Good.” Zhu Zongyu agreed.

Then Wei Ruochong mixed four bowls, one for herself, Xiu Mei, Steward Yu and Zhu Zongyu.

The four of them sip winter melon tea together in the sun.

When the tea was finished, it was time for Wei Ruo to go back.

Zhu Zongyue watched Wei Ruo’s master and servant pair go far away, until their figures completely disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze before slowly walking back to the house.

###

When Wei Ruo returned to the mansion it was already close to dinner time, Wei Mingting had already returned to the mansion.

Wei Ruo stepped on the dot and appeared in the dining hall, Yun’s expression sank slightly when she saw the late returning Wei Ruo.

But because Wei Mingting was there, she didn’t say anything and didn’t mention the matter of the conflict that happened during the day today.

During the evening meal, Wei Ruo saw Wei Mingting looking grave and tired, and he didn’t have much appetite during the meal.

But she didn’t think much about it, she just thought it was the matter of the Japanese invaders that bothered him, and didn’t ask specifically, she probably knew Wei Mingting’s nature, even if there was something bothering him on official business, he wouldn’t talk to his family, and it was a waste of time to ask, not to mention that the matter of the Japanese invaders was something that she couldn’t help with either.

Wei Ruo didn’t want to ask, but that wasn’t what Wei Qingwan thought.

After the dinner, Wei Qingwan asked, “Is there something bothering you, father? You are like this daughter is worried in her heart.”

Wei Qingwan’s expression was worried and her gaze glistened.

“My father is fine, Wanwan doesn’t need to worry, my father is just a bit tired.” Wei Mingting replied.

“Then father pay more attention to rest, your body is the most important thing.” Wei Qingwan admonished.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Mingting answered.

Seeing her husband’s fatigue, Yun ended today’s conversation early and sent everyone back to their respective houses.

Wei Ruo sensibly left, Wei Qingwan was a little reluctant to leave, and when she left, she frequently turned back, her eyes were concerned, as if she was very relieved to see Wei Mingting, who was in a tired state.

This scene fell in Yun’s eyes, and in her heart, she once again felt disappointed in her eldest daughter.

“Wanwan this child is really sweet and knows that she cares for her parents.” Yun muttered.

Wei Mingting agreed, “Well, Wanwan is a good kid.”

Immediately after that, he added, “But just because Ruo’er didn’t open her mouth doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about her parents, it’s just her personality.”

Yun’s heart helplessly sighed, the eldest daughter where the character is so, contradicting the elders is clearly very articulate.

But Yun did not say this out loud, she did not want to annoy her husband with trivial matters at home. Because the matter of the seventh prince’s disappearance was already enough of a headache for her husband.

Yun changed the topic and asked Wei Mingting, “Husband, is there still no whereabouts of the seventh prince?” .
