Chapter 391: Don’t Care About Those Things

“Sickly? What kind of illness?” Wei Ruo asked.

“It’s unclear for now, the palace physicians didn’t see anything either, they only diagnosed that he won’t live for too long.” Mrs. Yuan replied.

With an undetermined identity and a sudden appearance, this ninth prince, who was supposed to be an extremely threatening competitor, is a sickly child who won’t live long.

It looks like the capital is destined to be unsettled lately.

Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then said, “This matter is indeed surprising and astonishing, but in my case it is also just to listen to a hilarious scene, that the struggle for imperial power, not to mention me, in the Zhongyi Burial House is also irrelevant.”

“Ruo’er sister is accustomed to be a sober, said very reasonable, I said with you to listen to also let you listen to a lively, you and the general’s house must not hot-headed to participate in it, lest to cause trouble for no reason.”

Mrs. Yuan mentioned that she was also concerned about Wei Ruo, so she would have said a few more words, for others she would not have bothered to say this.

“Don’t worry ma’am but where I have a choice I will choose to stay far away from this matter. I have no interest in the struggle for imperial power, rather than mulling over those things I’d rather put my heart and soul into how to grow more and better crops and study how to feed more people.” Wei Ruo returned.

“Well, that’s right.” Mrs. Yuan’s eyes were filled with a look of approval.

###

Wei Ruo returned from the Yuan Mansion and brought back a large amount of rewards.

Wei Mingyong had been waiting for Wei Ruo at the door, and when he saw her return he came up to check.

He was about to reach out to remove the red cloth when Xiu Mei, who was quick on her feet, stopped him.

“What are you doing, Second Master?”

“What business is it of yours, a little girl, what I want to do?” Wei Mingyong said in annoyance.

How outrageous! A little maid dares to intervene in his affairs?

Seeing the ten or so boxes of things being carried into the backyard, Wei Mingyong was a bit depressed, he hadn’t seen anything yet! His intuition told him that there were some good things there!

At this time Wei Mingyong saw Wei Ruo coming down from the carriage and once again went forward to stop her way, continuing the words he hadn’t had time to finish with Wei Ruo before she left the house.

“Big niece, two uncle some words maybe you do not like to hear, but is from the bottom of the heart, in you and me in the Wei family are favorable and harmless. The sixth prince and the seventh prince who has a better chance to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince that clear-eyed people are clear, you can not be confused ah!”

“Second Uncle had better save these words to tell my father and brother.” Wei Ruo still had the same attitude.

“You are the first eldest daughter of the Wei family, you should listen carefully to what you should understand! It’s about the future of the Wei Family, you can’t pretend to be deaf and dumb.” Wei Mingyong said with a straight face.

“I’m not pretending to be deaf and dumb, but I’m re-advising Second Uncle to go and get a good understanding of things before making a judgment, don’t be a cloud of people and blindly side with whoever everyone else says is hopeful, and then you’ll drag the entire Wei family down with you.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that Wei Mingyong and herself were related by blood and what he did would implicate her, Wei Ruo wouldn’t even want to say much to him.

“What do you mean? You’re saying I’m wrong? What do you know as a boudoir woman?” Wei Mingyong said in annoyance.

“There’s no problem with what the big sister said.”

Wei Yi Chen also came to the door at some point and appeared beside Wei Ruo.

His tall figure stood behind Wei Ruo, seemingly backing Wei Ruo up, and the words he spoke did have this meaning.

“Yi Chen, don’t talk nonsense to defend your sister.” Wei Mingyong said.

“I have no nonsense, a lot of things can not just look at the surface, both the general situation is not yet determined can not jump to conclusions. In the weak Wei family, at this time to stand in line is never a good policy.” Wei Yi Chen said.

“After all is said and done it’s just you guys being timid and scared.” Wei Mingyong muttered in dissatisfaction.

“Then Second Uncle will consider us to be timid and afraid.” Wei Yi Chen said, not minding being called timid by Wei Mingyong.

Wei Ruo raised her head to look at Wei Yi Chen at her side, it really wasn’t her illusion, Wei Yi Chen was really different.

Wei Mingyong saw Wei Yichen’s attitude like this and had to put away the idea of convincing him and Wei Ruo first.

“That’s just it, I’m not going to argue with you guys on this one for now.”

Immediately afterward, he added, “Can you show me what goodies this Empress Hui has rewarded her great niece with?”

Wei Ruo wanted to refuse, but Wei Mingyong didn’t give her a chance to refuse and directly said, “I’m just taking a look, it’s not like I’m going to take my great niece’s things, I’m an elder, I can’t do something like that. Great niece shouldn’t be so petty that she won’t even let me look at it right?”

Wei Ruo pondered for a moment, then glanced at Wei Yi Chen before saying, “Alright, it just so happens that big brother is also there, so let’s take a look together.”

Wei Yi Chen nodded.

So the three of them went together to Wei Ruo’s Listening Pine Garden.

The twelve lifted boxes just now had all been sent into Wei Ruo’s Listening Pine Court, and as soon as they entered the far door, they saw the boxes full of them.

Wei Ruo removed the red cloth covering them one by one.

Before this Wei Ruo only saw the list of rewards, and has not seen the physical object.

Twelve carries the reward, two carries jewelry, four carries silk brocade cloth, two carries dry goods treasures, four carries porcelain paintings.

Wei Mingyong’s eyes glowed as he watched, and he couldn’t help but marvel, “This Empress Hui is so generous, giving you so many goodies!”

Wei Yi Chen said in a calm tone, “This was not given by Empress Huifei, it must have been authorized by His Holiness.”

“What do you mean? It’s not Empress Hui? It’s a reward from His Majesty to our Wei family?” Wei Mingyong was astonished.

“Without the Emperor’s authorization, it’s impossible for Empress Hui to privately give such a rich reward to the daughter of a courtier, there is a suspicion of party affiliation.” Wei Yi Chen said.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yi Chen with a few more points of praise in her gaze.

He couldn’t always see clearly in the affairs of the inner house, but he still had a clear eye when looking at the affairs of the court.

“It’s actually like this?!” Wei Mingyong was overjoyed, “His Holiness has rewarded the Wei family! That’s really great!”

Originally Wei Mingyong heart still have some worries, now listen to Wei Yi Chen so say, completely no worries, the rest is only got the reward of joy.

“Not the Wei family, this is a reward for the eldest sister.” Wei Yi Chen corrected.

“It’s all the same, the eldest niece is still unmarried and is a member of my Wei family.” Wei Mingyong said cheerfully.

Wei Yi Chen didn’t pick up on this and turned to say, “We can leave now that we’ve seen everything, big sister should be tired from running around today, let’s let her rest.”

Wei Mingyong glanced at Wei Ruo, “Great niece, after you’ve won the reward, shouldn’t you bring some gifts to your grandparents who are far away in the capital?”

Wei Mingyong only said he wouldn’t take his niece’s things, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t ask for things for other people.

As a granddaughter, it was only natural to honor one’s grandparents, and no one could say that he had a problem with that.

Wei Yi Chen’s face sank slightly, but there was no problem with what Wei Mingyong said in this matter, so he didn’t refute it.

Wei Yi Chen looked at Wei Ruo as did Wei Mingyong, wondering how Wei Ruo would respond.
