Chapter 358 – Qi Zhen Visits Wei Mingting

“According to the way you’re making it, miss, you won’t be able to find someone eligible to marry in your lifetime.” Xiu Mei muttered.

“That’s not necessarily true, it’s not like every critically ill person I come across can be saved by me.”

“Miss you are so skilled in medicine, most of them can be saved, it would have been hard to find someone who would die who meets the criteria, and it would also have to be one that you, Miss, can’t do anything about, even less likely.” Xiu Mei said.

Wei Ruo flattened her mouth, “This world is so big, I still don’t believe that I won’t be able to find such a person. If I really can’t, I’ll build one.”

Saying that, Wei Ruo turned her head to Wei Jin Yi and said, “Second brother, I know you don’t approve of me doing that, but if I find it, you can’t stop me.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also gave a shallow response.

He realized that Ruo’er almost chose the one who was just sick to the bone to be her future husband.

Then Wei Ruo and the three of them took a turn at Younan Farm and Caili Farm.

The Younan farm is planted with the late rice seed from Wei Ruo’s space, but this late rice seed is well adapted and can be planted early or late.

There are a thousand acres of good land in the Yunan farm planted early, so the maturity is also early, into August, the rice is already hanging ears, looking at the signs of a good harvest again.

The 1,000 acres that were improved were planted a little later, but are growing well today.

Picking Hedge Farm was the latest to be planted and is doing very well so far, with tenants in high spirits and highly motivated.

Another planted sweet potatoes as well as Wei Ruo contracted to the stone village of the sand sweet potatoes is also very good, has started to harvest one after another, in another half a month will be able to usher in a large area of the harvest.

At this rate, this year’s fall harvest will not be a problem.

As long as this wave of harvest is stabilized, the food problem of Taizhou Province this year will be well relieved.

After turning around and coming down, Wei Ruo smiled and asked Wei Jin Yi, “How about second brother, am I rich, your sister?”

Wei Ruo didn’t specifically hide the fact that she had money and food from Wei Jin Yi, but she also didn’t show Wei Jin Yi her possessions so formally.

This time it was considered to show Wei Jin also a part of her private property.

Of course, Wei Ruo still has some reservations, so far what Wei Jin Yi has seen is her farm, as for the store and business, Wei Ruo hasn’t revealed half of it to Wei Jin Yi.

Even Wei Jin Yi has been to a few times of the four treasures Wei Ruo also did not tell Wei Jin Yi that is her store, only said that her nanny’s, nominally also really is her nanny’s not false.

“Well, it’s good that Ruo’er is rich.” Wei Jin also responded.

“Right? I also think it’s good that I’m rich.” Wei Ruo smiled brightly.

When the round of inspection was over and it was getting late, the three of them headed back to the city.

###

While Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also went outside the city, Qi Zhen came to visit Wei Mingting at the school captain’s residence.

Hearing his subordinates report that the third son of the Qi family, Qi Zhen, had come to pay his respects, Wei Mingting was puzzled.

He didn’t even know when the Third Prince of the Qi Family had come to Jiangnan, much less why he had come to visit him.

The Wei family was not connected to the Qi family, which was in the middle of the day.

Wei Mingting did not want to see it in his heart, at the moment, no matter if it is a family matter or military affairs are very tricky, so that he does not have the heart to deal with other things.

However, Qi Zhen’s visit to him could not be avoided, the status of the son of the chief minister was there.

So Wei Mingting had his subordinates bring Qi Zhen to the parlor in his front yard, where he received him.

As soon as they met, Qi Zhen bowed to Wei Mingting, polite and courteous: “Greetings, Lord Wei.”

“Third Prince Qi, forgive me for taking the liberty, but I wonder what you came to see me about today?”

Wei Mingting wasn’t good at being wishy-washy with people, so he opened his mouth and asked directly.

Qi Zhen smiled and replied, “I’ve come to ask for forgiveness and plead to ask for Lord Wei’s forgiveness.”

“What makes you say that, Third Prince Qi?” Wei Mingting asked.

“Those rumors about Second Miss have to do with me.” Qi Zhen said.

At those words Wei Mingting’s gaze flinched and the smile on his face faded.

Qi Zhen felt the flash of killing intent in the other’s eyes and smiled in a habitual manner.

Then he explained, “Lord Wei don’t get angry in a hurry, nothing happened between me and the second young miss, there was some misunderstanding in the middle of this, which made the second young miss’ reputation tarnished. This matter is my fault, I am willing to make up for this fault.”

“How will you make up for the damage to my daughter’s reputation?” Wei Mingting asked rhetorically.

Qi Zhen doesn’t have a good reputation, so if he comes out to clarify, he will definitely be discredited more and more.

“Ta-Jen Wei rests his anger, although I can’t make up for it in terms of reputation, I can make up for Ta-Jen Wei in other ways.”

“Otherwise?”

“Of Lord Wei’s two older brothers, one is now a white body, and the other is only seeking an idle post of the eighth rank.” Qi Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingting immediately understood which aspect Qi Zhen was referring to when he said he would make amends.

“Please go back, Mr. Qi, I, Wei, have failed to discipline my daughter properly, leading to today’s situation, I can’t blame anyone else.” Wei Mingting refused.

Qi Zhen didn’t get angry when he saw this, but smiled and said, “There is no need for Lord Wei to get angry, I just want to express my sincerity, I didn’t come here to make Lord Wei angry. If Lord Wei feels that my proposal is inappropriate, then just pretend that I didn’t say it.”

“Does Mr. Qi have anything else to say?” Wei Mingting asked.

“Not that there’s anything else that matters.”

“Then I’m sorry that Mister Wei still has military affairs to attend to and won’t keep Mr. Qi.”

Wei Mingting once again issued an eviction order.

Qi Zhen smiled, and this time he agreed with good sense: “Then I’ll take my leave for today, and I’ll have the chance to talk freely with Lord Wei again.”

Qi Zhen left the school captain’s mansion, and although this meeting with Wei Mingting wasn’t worse than he expected, he wasn’t annoyed.

For one thing, he had already poked around Wei Mingting before he came and knew that this person’s character was like this;

Secondly, he didn’t expect this matter to make progress so quickly, and today’s trip was mainly based on testing;

Thirdly, the more important thing at the moment is to find the person who can make thunderbolt bombs, that guy is much more important than Miss Wei.

August 4th.

Qianfu Inn.

On August days, it gets dark later, and it doesn’t get darker until the eleventh hour.

The heavenly box on the second floor had been reserved for several days, and today the guests had finally arrived.

The man looked like he was in his forties, with a big beard, dressed as a merchant, and dusty.

He was followed by a couple of attendant escorts, a couple of horses, and two cartloads of stuff.

Those two wagons were loaded with several crates, heavy with unknown contents.

As they moved from the cart to the inn, it was obvious that the man’s entourage was struggling to carry it.

The store assistant wanted to come forward to help, but was refused by the guest, who only allowed his own people to touch those boxes.

“What I have here is more dangerous, you can’t just move it around.” The man said to the shopkeeper.
