Chapter 32: I’ll Keep Your Secret

“Mother has already dealt with you lightly, what else do you have to scream about.” Wei Yi Chen coldly interrupted Sister Li’s plea for mercy before ordering the guards outside the door to come in and forcefully drag Sister Li down.

“Mistress …… Mistress …… Great Young Master ……” Sister Li kept shouting as she was dragged away.

After Sister Li was taken away, the atmosphere in the room remained bad, Wei Ruo didn’t say a word and looked at Yun with a clear and cold gaze.

Wei Yi Chen said, “Mother is also tired after a busy night, take a rest first, and my son will also take my sister back to Listening Pine Court.”

Yun waved her hand, signaling that the two could retire.

Wei Yi Chen walked to Wei Ruo’s front and took Wei Ruo’s hand, his voice gentle, “Go back with big brother.”

Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Yi Chen and didn’t resist.

Following Wei Yi Chen out of the door of Cang Yun Yuan, he walked all the way into the door of Listening Pine Yuan.

Xiu Mei hadn’t slept all night, and when she saw Wei Ruo return, she was so excited that tears were coming down.

“Miss you’re finally back!” Xiu Mei jumped up and hugged Wei Ruo.

“I’m fine.”

Wei Ruo touched Xiu Mei’s cheeks, seeing her two swollen eye blisters she knew that this girl had secretly shed tears last night.

Wei Ruo turned her head again to Wei Yi Chen, who had sent herself back, and said, “Many thanks to big brother for speaking up for me.”

“It’s fine, it should be, I do think you’re not at fault, something like that where human life is at stake, anyone else would have panicked, you just accidentally pushed Wanwan in the heat of the moment, it wasn’t intentional.” Wei Yi Chen said.

“Does big brother also think that I pushed Wei Qingwan?” Wei Ruo looked towards Wei Yi Chen with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

“I know you didn’t mean it, and big brother doesn’t think you’d be so f***ed up.”

The glimmer of anticipation in Wei Ruo’s eyes disappeared, and she smiled calmly, “I see, thanks anyway big brother.”

“Well, why don’t you go back inside and get a good night’s sleep.”

Wei Yi Chen instructed Wei Ruo for a few moments before leaving Listening Pine Court.

After Wei Yi Chen left Wei Ruo didn’t go back to the house to rest as he said, but went next door to Ying Zhu Yuan, she wanted to know what happened to Wei Jin Yi now.

Obviously last night she had already given him an injection and medication, it didn’t make sense that his condition would have worsened by morning.

When I came to Welcome Bamboo Court, I saw that there were guards guarding the entrance, the smell of herbs permeated the inside of the courtyard, and there were two maids who were busy frying medicines.

Wei Ruo walked straight into Wei Jin Yi’s bedroom.

Seeing Wei Ruo enter the door, Xiao Bei, who was guarding the bed, stood up and looked a little excited, “You’re back, Missy? Are you alright?”

Wei Ruo walked to the bed and saw that the person on the bed had his eyes closed tightly, so he reached out to feel his pulse.

The slender fingers rested on Wei Jin Yi’s wrist, and it didn’t take long for Wei Ruo’s brows to furrow.

What’s going on? Why is it such a dangerous pulse?

She had already given him needles and medicines yesterday, so it was reasonable that Wei Jin Yi’s pulse should have stabilized even if he was not cured.

Wei Ruo was puzzled when Wei Jin also opened his eyes.

At the same time he put his wrist back, “I’m fine.”

His voice was still a bit weak, and his face was still a bit white, but his eyes were clear, and he had obviously recovered quite a bit.

“You faked it?” Wei Ruo was surprised for a moment then immediately thought of something.

With Wei Jin also looking at each other, he did not answer, but Wei Ruo had an answer in her heart.

“Thanks.” Wei Ruo thanked.

“Not necessary.” Wei Jin also replied.

“How did you manage to change your pulse so that the person who took your pulse mistakenly thought that your pulse was sinister?” Wei Ruo was curious.

She had been practicing medicine for many years, but it was the first time she had met someone who could make her good pulse look like a vicious sign to deceive people.

“From occasional observation of medical books, the aforementioned pressure on several locations on the arm can affect the pulse.” Wei Jin also replied, his eyes looking deeply at Wei Ruo, after a pause, he asked Wei Ruo rhetorically, “When did you learn the art of medicine?”

“I learned it from an old uncle when I was in the countryside.” Then Wei Ruo said, “Then rest well, your body needs to recuperate for a few more days, don’t have any strenuous exercise for these few days, and lie down well so that you don’t fall into any sickness.”

The people were already fine, so Wei Ruo didn’t stay long.

As Wei Ruo walked to the door she heard Wei Jin Yi’s calm and steady but convincing voice from behind her, “I will keep your secret for you.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo agreed, then walked out of the room.

After returning to Listening Pine Court, Wei Ruo washed up and then fell asleep.

It was evening when I woke up from a nap.

After a little grooming it was off to the dining hall.

I felt a different atmosphere just as I walked in the door.

Wei Qingwan didn’t come because of a foot injury.

There were only four people left, Yun, Wei Yi Chen, Wei Yi Lin, and Wei Ruo.

Other than Wei Yi Chen, the other two didn’t look very good, especially Wei Yi Lin.

As soon as she saw Wei Ruo, she glared at her with vicious eyes as if she wanted to eat Wei Ruo alive.

Wei Ruo took it all in stride and calmly sat down in his seat.

“Hmph!” Wei Yi Lin deliberately let out a cold snort to convey his dissatisfaction.

“Yi Lin, eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.” Wei Yi Chen reminded seriously.

Wei Yi Lin beamed, puffed out his cheeks, and lowered his head to pick up his food.

When the meal was over, Yun did not leave everyone to sip tea and chat together as usual, and even less to shush Wei Ruo like before, but directly let everyone go back to rest individually.

Wei Ruo came out of the dining hall and didn’t take more than a few steps before hearing the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Wei Yi Lin chased after her, circling around to Wei Ruo’s front and blocking her path.

“Why are you bullying Sister! Sister is so nice! She thinks of you in everything, takes all the good things she has to you, and urges me to be good to you, and you push her down and hurt her! You’re so bad!” Wei Yi Lin questioned Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo didn’t want to bother with Wei Yi Lin and moved to continue walking.

Wei Yi Lin defiantly caught up again and opened his arms to stop Wei Ruo.

“You must make your words clear today!” Wei Yi Lin had a stern face and an intimidating aura.

“Say what? How I bullied Wei Qingwan? How I pushed Wei Qingwan to the ground and hurt her?”

“You admit you’re outlawed?”

“It’s not that I’m admitting it it’s that you want me to admit it, you’ve presupposed that I’m the bad guy, what else do I have to say to you?” Wei Ruo snorted.

Wei Yi Chen, who had caught up with him, pulled Wei Yi Lin away, “Yi Lin! Big brother has made it all clear to you, Ruo’er pushing down Wan Wan was just an accident!”

“Sister is bleeding! And what if it leaves a scar?”

“Ruo’er is in such a hurry because your second brother has fallen ill! In front of a matter of life and death, it would be strange for Ruo-er to be calm, do you understand?” Wei Yi Chen taught.

“That’s not my second brother either, he wasn’t raised by my mother!” Wei Yi Lin similarly disapproved of Wei Jin Yi, in his opinion that was a freak.

“Then I don’t see you recognizing my sister, who was born from the same mother as you, much.” Wei Ruo disliked.

“You!” Wei Yi Lin wanted to retort to Wei Ruo but didn’t find a retort to say inside his head for a moment.
