Chapter 198 – Don’t bother with me.

And then there was a silence in the hall, and no one seemed to have anything to say.

The excessive silence made the atmosphere seem a bit awkward, but of course the awkward people didn’t include Wei Ruo.

After a while, Wei Yi Chen sought a topic and said to Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er sister, your loquat paste is very powerful, I heard from my fellow students that several people have been cured of their coughs.”

Wei Ruo faintly answered, “Uh-huh.”

Wei Ruo was not at all surprised by this, as long as it was a general cough caused by wind and cold, her loquat cream could cure or alleviate it.

It’s hard to say if it’s a cough with other complex etiologies.

And this was made clear by Wei Ruo when he sold out the lozenges.

“Ruo’er sister is really great and knows a lot, if she were a male, big brother is afraid that he can’t compare to you.” Wei Yi Chen added.

“Big brother is flattering.” Wei Ruo replied politely.

Wei Yi Lin interjected from the side, “Even if it’s a daughter’s body, big sister is just as powerful now, she’s the richest person in our family now, she buys whatever she wants.”

Wei Yi Lin looked at Wei Ruo with a somewhat twisted expression, unable to say whether it was envy, admiration, or grumbling exasperation.

Wei Yi Chen noticed that Wei Yi Lin looked different and said, “Yi Lin, that’s your big sister being capable.”

The implication is to let Wei Yi Lin do not think blindly, home sisters of the private money is a man must not miss, even if it is married, it is also a woman’s own dowry.

“I know, I’m just curious how much private coffers big sister has now.”

Wei Yi Lin’s pair of eyes firmly locked onto Wei Ruo, as if he wanted to see something from her.

Speaking of this topic, Yun’s expression was slightly different.

Wei Ruo has money this matter Wei family knows.

But from what they had seen alone, Wei Ruo had at least a hundred taels of gold in her hand from the reward from the Seventh Prince, as well as more than a hundred taels of silver from the loquat cream that she had recently sold.

Not to mention the side rewards and gifts.

However, the exact amount of money was unclear to Yun, Wei Yi Chen, Wei Qing Wan and Wei Yi Lin.

In contrast, the finances of the school captain’s office were instead tight, and the year had been a tight one.

If it is not Wei Mingting successive promotions also received a reward, this year this year Yun really do not know what to do.

But even after being promoted to get some rewards, the large school lieutenant’s house expenses are still very large, plus after being promoted, Yun’s annual gift to the capital can not be shabby, spent a lot.

Wei Ruo’s way of earning money is not very agreeable to the people of Wei House, but the actual large amount of silver in her hand is enviable.

Especially Wei Qingwan, once upon a time in Xingshan County her feelings were not obvious, but after arriving in the capital city and seeing more noble ladies, she realized that her food and clothing were a bit out of reach.

She wanted to get herself some more respectable clothes, but she was too shy to pay for them.

Wei Ruo felt the crowd’s line of sight and unhurriedly put down the tea cup in her hand.

“It’s true that I’ve saved a lot of private coffers, but don’t you all know how much silver I have? Little brother also learned to count when he was studying before.”

The six arts of etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics are taught by gentlemen in the better private schools and colleges.

Wei Yi Lin beamed, “Can’t you ask? Anyway, I haven’t seen it, so I know you have money to buy all kinds of delicious food.”

It’s not that he wants to eat lo mein so much, it’s that Wei Qingruo’s attitude of not treating him so well and hating him is making him feel stuffy inside.

Wei Yi Lin was a bit like a child throwing a tantrum when he couldn’t get any candy, knowing that he couldn’t do anything about Wei Ruo, but he just wanted to say a few words.

Wei Yi Lin’s reply made Wei Yi Chen laugh uncontrollably, “Little brother turns out to be wanting to eat something delicious, what do you want to eat say to big brother, big brother will take you out on the street tomorrow to buy it okay?”

“I don’t want big brother to accompany me, I want big sister to accompany me, doesn’t big sister also not have to attend classes to get free?” Wei Yi Lin looked at Wei Ruo Dao.

That Wei Yi Lin would take such initiative to ask Wei Ruo to accompany him was something the others hadn’t expected.

At first, when Wei Mingting ordered the separation of Wei Yilin and Wei Qingwan, and gave Wei Ruo the job of teaching Wei Yilin, Wei Yilin was incredibly defiant.

Now you’ve actually volunteered to come with Wei Ruo?

“No, I still have things to do.” Wei Ruo refused.

Yun’s face, which had just eased down, suddenly became ugly again, “What do you have to be busy with? Which family’s big girl is like you, running away all day long?”

Seeing that the atmosphere was different, Wei Yi Chen hurriedly said to Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er sister, even though mother often thinks differently from you, it must be for your own good. Mother also wants you to have a good reputation and find a good marriage in the future.”

Wei Ruo said, “I’ve never wanted any good marriage. I think it’s fine to marry a farmer in the future, so you don’t have to bother much about me.”

Yun said in a cold voice: “Even if you haven’t thought about yourself, you have to think about your siblings at home, if you do something too out of the ordinary and affect the reputation of the Wei family’s girls, in the future Wanwan’s marriage will also be implicated by you!”

Wei Ruo said, “Then you should have thought about this before you took me back to the house! You didn’t ask my opinion when you took me back to the house, but after you took me back you demanded that I conform to what you had in mind, are you being fair to me? That’s thirteen years! Not thirteen days! Who are you to demand that a person who has lived in a different environment from you for thirteen years conform to your requirements and norms?”

These words Wei Ruo was not only asking for her current self, but also for the original owner.

The original owner didn’t have the memories and skills of her own extra life, and grew up with limited knowledge into what seemed to the Wei family to be a brash and rude appearance.

The Wei family should have thought about what kind of person she might be before they picked her up.

Why didn’t you think this through before you took her back, and then after you took her back you have to have a lot of opinions about her because she doesn’t fit the norms of a great lady?

“How dare you!” Yun angrily rebuked, “You are now questioning the decision of your parents your elders, your life was given to us, we certainly have the right to decide where you should be!”

“Mother!”

Wei Yi Chen stood out and blocked between Yun and Wei Ruo.

“Mother! Tonight is New Year’s Eve.”

Wei Yi Lin’s brow was furrowed, his eyes heavy with pleading.

Looking at her eldest son, the anger in Yun’s heart was briefly stifled.

In the middle of the day, Yun took a deep breath, “All retire!”

She was no longer in the mood when a good New Year’s Eve turned into this.

“Good, my son will take my younger siblings away first, and my mother will rest early.”

After Wei Yi Chen finished speaking, he turned around and then signaled with his gaze for his three younger siblings to leave.

Wei Ruoben didn’t bother arguing and turned around.

Wei Yi Lin pulled Wei Yi Chen’s hand, “Big brother, did I say something wrong?”

Because he said he wanted Wei Qingruo’s company, Mother and Wei Qingruo got into an argument.
