Chapter 308 – Once again, Yun was infuriated

Obviously a quarter of an hour ago also yelled that this year we are difficult for all the ladies, now all rushed to the country for the people to contribute money and people.

Both Mrs. Yuan and Sister Qin couldn’t help but have smiles on their faces.

Wei Ruo completed her task and walked over to the very last seat and sat down.

Today, all the people here are the head mothers of the families, and only she is an unmarried girl, so she should be sitting at the very end of the seat.

Then Wei Ruo didn’t need to worry about the later things, leaving it to Mrs. Yuan and Sister Qin to discuss with these ladies would be fine.

After about an hour or so, the talks ended and Mrs. Yuan saw off the ladies.

Mrs. Xu walked behind the crowd, pulling Wei Ruo’s hand before she left, her eyes full of admiration and love, “The eldest girl is truly a woman with an orchid heart.”

Wei Ruo just smiled.

Because Mrs. Yuan and Sister Qin were still present, Mrs. Xu couldn’t say anything more.

After Mrs. Xu left, Mrs. Yuan, Sister Qin, Yun and Wei Ruo were left in the hall along with some accompanying maids.

Sister Qin got up and came to Wei Ruo’s front with a smile on her face, “Eldest girl really didn’t disappoint, today’s set of work for food is really refreshing to the old slave.”

“Sister Qin is being overly complimentary, this move is just to be able to make things better and share your worries for your highness.” Wei Ruo replied.

“His Highness is bound to be very pleased when he learns of today’s events, and is very much looking forward to the next developments.”

After Sister Qin finished speaking, she led her people away.

And then Yun led Wei Ruo to bid farewell to Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan nodded, and with Yun present, she didn’t say much to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo followed Yun back to the carriage, which drove away from Yuan Mansion and traveled in the direction of the school captain’s residence.

Unlike the indifference when she went, at this moment, Yun’s face was wearing a few happy colors and had quite a few questions she wanted to ask Wei Ruo.

“Ruo’er, this is a good solution for you, but you also have to think about the family for a moment and see if there can be any way to get the Wei family involved as well.”

“Methods just now in the Yuan Mansion I have already said, those who have the money to pay and those who have the power to pay and those who have the food to pay will be rewarded for their achievements at that time.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Ruo’er, you know the situation at home.” Yun said.

“What? Does mother mean that both don’t want to contribute anything and want both land and credit?” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically, a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Yun’s face sank slightly at being poked and prodded, but she still patiently said, “How can you say that you didn’t contribute? Isn’t the biggest credit for this matter on you, Ruo’er?”

“Then it’s only natural that the subsequent share of the field is titled in my name, right?” Wei Ruo said.

“You mean, you’re going to take the land yourself?”

“What’s the problem? Hasn’t mother already arranged a marriage for me, planning to marry me off? As the saying goes, a married daughter splashes out water, there’s nothing wrong with me saving myself a dowry early, right?” Wei Ruo said.

The dowry has always been a woman’s private property and cannot be touched by either her in-laws or her mother’s family.

“But you’re not out of the house today.”

“The share of private property that I saved up for myself before I left the court is also attributed to myself, and that’s no problem, right? Mother is from the capital, so she should know this rule.”

Yun’s face turned the color of soy sauce as she was choked by Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo added, “By the way, the matter of my marriage proposal mother is still best to put it on hold for a while, nowadays is a special period, countless people are suffering from famine, every day there are victims dying because they can’t fill up their stomachs, Yuan House and the Seventh Royal Highness are just about to take the lead in rescuing the disaster and saving the people, while we’re bustling with the marriage, I’m afraid that it’s just not in line with our feelings.”

“Furthermore, this matter is taken very seriously by Lady Yuan and His Seventh Highness, and I hope that I can help to preside over the big picture, and I’m bound to be too busy to take time away from work; if my mother arranges for my marriage at this time, I’m afraid that there will be suspicion of obstructing the progress of things, and I’m afraid that the two nobles will be unhappy.”

Yun’s face suddenly became even darker and uglier.

Every word Wei Ruo said accounted for a word of reason, so that she couldn’t even find words to retort if she wanted to.

But it was her aggressive attitude, half of which did not put her as a mother in her eyes, that caused her anger to flare up.

“What do you mean by that? Threatening me?” Yun chided Wei Ruo.

“It’s not a threat, it’s just a reminder. I can’t do anything if mother really doesn’t listen, except that what will be affected in the aftermath may be the future of father, elder brother, and even the entire Wei family.”

This is clearly a threat!

Yun was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, glaring angrily at Wei Ruo: “You really have hardened your wings, daring to impinge on my mother like this! With a backer, you don’t even want your own mother anymore!”

“Mother said this is what words, when I do not want you? It’s mother who hid the marriage proposal with Mrs. Xu from me, probably because she planned to wait for the matchmaker to come to the door before letting me know, so that she could send me out the door early.” Wei Ruo retorted in a smooth tone.

“Rebellious daughter!” Yun finally couldn’t help herself and raised her hand to hit Wei Ruo in the face.

However, as if Wei Ruo had anticipated it, she accurately grabbed Yun’s falling wrist.

“Mother’s habit of hitting me when she doesn’t move has to be changed, my face is swollen, I’m afraid I won’t be able to give a good explanation when I see your honorable person again tomorrow.” Wei Ruo reminded.

Yun was completely infuriated, “You are a white-eyed wolf! I plan for you with all my heart and soul, yet you treat me as an enemy and don’t care about the Wei family in the slightest!”

Wei Ruo calmly said, “Whatever you think, I’m just telling you an objective fact, if you really want to fight, I can let you do it, but if you bring any bad effects to the Wei family afterward, don’t say that it’s because I don’t have the Wei family in mind.”

After saying that, Wei Ruo loosened his grip on Yun’s hand.

Yun’s anger was half gone, but she didn’t have the courage to hit Wei Ruo again.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the lieutenant’s residence, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was still terribly cold.

Wei Ruo did not hesitate, movement sharp down the car, did not care about the car is still angry Yun, straight back to listen to the pine garden.

###

Wei Qingwan heard that Yun had not been able to eat anything all day today when she came back from the academy, so she rushed to Cang Yun Yuan to ask for comfort.

“Mother, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Did you ask for a doctor?” Wei Qingwan’s eyes were full of concern.

Yun leaned on the couch, listening to Wei Qingwan’s concern, and for a moment an unspeakably complex emotion surged to her heart.

“Wanwan, it’s still you who knows to be considerate of my mother.” Yun couldn’t help but say.

“Mother, what are you talking about, I’m mother’s daughter, so I should be considerate of my mother.”

“Yes, you are mother’s daughter. In the past, I often heard people say that the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of upbringing, and I didn’t think there was anything to it, but now that I think about it more carefully, I think it’s very true. Growing up in front of one’s own, and those who are only related by blood alone, is ultimately a bit different.” Yun sighed.
