Chapter 304 – Private Meeting with a Mysterious Man

“Hmph, this look again, red eyes when I say two words about you, as if tears don’t cost anything, there are no men here and I don’t know who you’re showing this sympathetic look to! It’s meaningless!”

Xu Yaogun felt bored and got up after a cold snort, turning to leave without paying any more attention to Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan hung her head and pinched her sleeves to suppress this aggression.

She told herself in her mind that she shouldn’t consume herself with people and things like that, she had people and things she wanted to hold dear.

When it was time for class to end, Wei Qingwan and her personal maid Cui He walked out of the Tong Zhi Mansion together, and when they got onto the carriage, Cui He couldn’t help but comfort Wei Qingwan, “Miss, don’t be sad, this thing with the eldest girl is her good luck.”

“I have nothing to be upset about, it’s her skill that she can marry high, I did feel a bit uncomfortable just now when I was taunting me with Xu Yaogun, but it’s not because Wei Qingruo can marry high, it’s because what Xu Yaogun said about the Wei Mansion’s situation nowadays is indeed true.” Wei Qingwan explained.

The matter of Wei Ruo and Xu Fengyuan discussing marriage had a much smaller impact on Wei Qingwan than Cui He and the others had imagined.

Cui He realized that her young lady’s temperament had really changed a lot recently, and she wasn’t as easily sad and pessimistic. She didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Halfway through the carriage’s journey, when it passed by an embroidery store, the old slave who drove the carriage skillfully turned it into a nearby alley and stopped.

These days Wei Qingwan would pass by this embroidery store on her way to and from class, and each time she would ask the driver to stop and go in for a seat.

Wei Qingwan these days with the inside of a technical top embroiderer in the learning Su embroidery, in order to later embroidered better wedding clothes, so every day will be in this store for about one incense incense time.

Each stay was not long, so the Wei House did not know about it.

Cui Huo and the old slave who drove the car were the only ones who knew about it, but because that embroiderer teaching her craft was confidential, Cui Huo couldn’t enter the house, and every time, she only kept watch with the old woman driving the car outside.

Inside the room, opposite Wei Qingwan stood not an embroiderer, but a young man.

The man’s face was like a crown of jade, his posture was straight, and his hair was bound in brocade.

Seeing the man, Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but blush, like two peach blossoms blooming in early spring.

She shyly lowered her head, and the man stepped forward, moving gently to embrace Wei Qingwan in his arms ……

Wei Ruo returned to the mansion and once again met Sister Qin, who had come looking for herself.

Chu Lan really did have perseverance, it had been a month and he still hadn’t given up.

When Sister Qin saw Wei Ruo, her attitude remained respectful: “Big Miss is back, His Highness has some things he entrusted his old slave to send to Big Miss.”

Wei Ruo glanced at the things that Sister Qin brought over, they were tea and wine, looking at the packaging, they should be the black tea that Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine was selling and the Thyme that Drunken Immortal Residence was selling.

The two maids that Sister Qin brought behind her also carried a box of things, all of which were objects that ordinary people were not too willing to use.

“Sister Qin, did you come today or for that matter?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Yes. Eldest Miss, the situation with the displaced people in the city is getting worse nowadays, if it continues like this, the Taizhou Prefecture won’t even be peaceful.” Sister Qin said.

At the beginning of May, when Chu Lan first sent Sister Qin to find Wei Ruo to talk about this matter, the situation was not so critical, and now that a month has passed, things are even more serious, and the imperial court has already sent people to provide disaster relief.

However, these two years down the line, the treasury is also empty, the scope of the disaster is widespread, this disaster is not good relief.

The Emperor had a headache and lost his temper a few times in the courtroom.

Anyone can see that whoever can help the Emperor solve this big trouble will be rewarded and favored by the Emperor.

With such a great feat placed in front of everyone, there was no reason why Chu Lan would let it go.

So it was rare for him to be so patient about a matter, even though Wei Ruo had refused so many times, he still tirelessly sent people to invite Wei Ruo.

“I heard that the Sixth Prince was sent to provide disaster relief?” Wei Ruo suddenly asked Sister Qin a seemingly unrelated question.

Although Wei Ruo is just a small commoner, but at least there is Mrs. Yuan as a channel, some news in the court she can still hear some.

“Indeed, counting the time, it should already be in Taizhou Prefecture. Or perhaps it arrived a bit earlier, the specifics are not very clear to the old slave.” Sister Qin replied.

The fact that Wei Ruo asked this already indicated that she was aware of part of the reason why Chu Lan was so anxious to have her help.

Nowadays, there is a fierce competition between the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince, and by sending one to fight against the Japanese army and the other to provide disaster relief, the Emperor is testing the two.

“Sister, I’m just a woman, and I’m insignificant.” Wei Ruo said to Sister Qin.

The words were not clearly stated, but Wei Ruo knew that Sister Qin was able to understand what she meant.

The Zhongyi Burial Mansion was like a mole cricket in front of the two emperors, not to mention Wei Ruo. Wei Ruo did not want to take sides and did not want to get involved in this dispute.

Sister Qin put away her smile, “Big girl’s concern is justified, it’s just that big girl, my Highness’s patience is also limited, is big girl not giving face to my Highness like this, is it because she doesn’t put my Highness in her eyes?”

Towards the end, Sister Qin’s eyes suddenly turned bitter.

The first courtesy and then soldiers, Chu Lan has already “courtesy” many times, but Wei Ruo has always refused, so now he wants to “soldiers”.

Sister Qin then reminded Wei Ru, “Big Miss, His Highness can make Wei House glory or Wei House loss, perhaps Big Miss is not so concerned about Wei House’s ‘glory’, but for Wei House’s ‘loss’, Big Miss should always put it on her mind. Some of it.”

The threat has been very clear.

For the Seventh Prince, getting rid of a Wei House that was already at the tip of the scale was not a difficult task.

Wei Ruo did not look too surprised as she looked at Sister Qin’s cold down face.

She naturally hoped that she could avoid the trouble that was Chu Lan by being more friendly, but from the beginning she had also thought that someone like Chu Lan might not accept her rejection.

So the first few times she refused, Wei Ruo will think if Chu Lan when no patience soft can not come hard in the end how she should respond.

Therefore, when she saw this moment when Sister Qin flipped out, her reaction remained calm.

Only the heart still can’t help but secretly Chu Lan from head to toe cursed a times, the credit did not give her arrangements to understand, looking for her to work but also to engage in the threat, really a wolf hearted dog lung bastard thing!

“Sister misunderstood me, it’s not that I don’t want to assist the Seventh Highness.” Wei Ruo changed her words, looking as normal and unhurried, “It’s just that this thing that Your Highness the Seventh is trying to do isn’t easy to accomplish, so we need to think long and hard about it.”

“What does Big Miss say about this?” Sister Qin looked at Wei Ruo curiously.
