Chapter 51: In the Way of His People

“Cough cough cough cough ……” Wei Jin also coughed violently, and his cheeks flew red.

The red color spread all the way from his cheeks to the roots behind his ears.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Don’t mention it again at this time, not in front of me, and even less in front of outsiders.” Wei Jin also said seriously.

“Don’t worry, I still have this bit of discretion outside.” Wei Ruo snorted.

Following that, he came a little closer to Wei Jin Yi and whispered, “I won’t tell anyone that my second brother has a great body.”

“Boom–” Wei Jin Yi’s face was completely red, as if it was the hairy crab that had been boiled in boiling water.

Looking at his scarlet cheeks, Wei Ruo could laugh in her heart.

Aiya, the second brother is still quite interesting, actually so shy, by the sister to see the body are so shy, this later married a daughter-in-law can be how to do it?

After laughing, Wei Ruo continued the question from earlier, “You still haven’t told me how you managed to read and write every day and still have tendon meat on your body.”

She hadn’t forgotten to ask Wei Jin Yi this question afterward!

“There is practicing the art of strengthening the body.” Wei Jin also replied.

“Then you’re really disciplined, even in this side of the small courtyard, you still haven’t forgotten to maintain a good figure.” Wei Ruo commented.

“I’m a bit different from you guys and can’t slack off.” Wei Jin also murmured.

He said this as if he was speaking to Wei Ruo, and as if he was talking to himself.

Wei Qingwan cried in her room for a long time, and Wei Yi Chen and Wei Yi Lin came to comfort her one after another.

Unlike in the past, this time Wei Qingwan cried for a long time without being able to slow down.

Then Wei Ruo came too.

Wei Yi Chen and Wei Yi Lin came out of the house, and when they saw Wei Ruo, they both looked a bit strange.

Wei Yi Lin couldn’t hide his emotions and rushed up to confront Wei Ruo, “You bad egg! You took away my sister’s place to study at the Xie family! You caused my sister to cry so hard!”

Wei Ruo looked calm and unhurried as she asked Wei Yi Chen back, “First of all, the Xie family chose me to accompany Ms. Xie to study in the beginning, it was your own mistake, how did it turn out to be me who caused it? This logic of yours is a bit off, this charge is inexplicable to me.”

“Secondly, how did my coming over to visit sister Qingwan turn into coming to see a good show? Has she suffered a great deal? Isn’t she still able to continue going to school at the governor’s mansion? That’s what she’s been doing for the previous few years. How did something that I didn’t find aggravating become aggravating now?”

“And before you misunderstand that the person that the Xie family agreed to go to study together was Sister Qingwan, when you arranged for me to go to the governor’s mansion to study, didn’t you say that the female gentleman at the governor’s mansion was also very good? How come when it came to Sister Qingwan, it became an aggravation?”

Wei Ruo unhurriedly finished rebutting Wei Yi Lin’s accusations and looked at Wei Yi Lin with a light smile.

“That’s different! Sister, she’s better than you, she should have gone to the Xie family in the first place!” Wei Yi Lin retorted.

“Oh, so you all lied to me, saying that you would treat me and my sister Qingwan fairly was all a lie, right? In fact, in your hearts, you have never put the two of us in the same place, right? Some things happen to me as a matter of course, but when it comes to Sister Qingwan, she is the one who is aggrieved, right?”

Wei Ruo’s mouth said sad words, but the corners of her mouth always held a shallow smile, and her pair of clear eyes were bright as a torch, as if she had penetrated all of the Wei brothers’ minds.

Wei Yi Chen and Wei Yi Lin were both stunned.

Especially Wei Yi Chen, who was a little too weak to look into Wei Ruo’s eyes.

Wei Ruo smiled again, “And don’t feel embarrassed, I’m not asking you to treat the two of us fairly, just don’t say one thing on your lips and actually do another, just do what you should.”

Then Wei Ruo looked down at Wei Yi Lin: “And you, don’t be so double standard, one set of standard for Wei Qing Wan, another set of standard for me, if you don’t want to recognize me, just don’t admit it, why do you still need to use your set of standard to ask me? I don’t owe you anything!”

Wei Yi Lin said, “Even if you’re not responsible, then what are you doing running to your sister’s place now to see her laugh? Deliberately causing her grief?”

“Is there any joke to be seen? She’s just continuing to go to school at the governor’s mansion, so is it a joke to say that going to school at the governor’s mansion is a joke? Then you were secretly laughing at me before? When you and Wei Qingwan came to me with pen, ink and paper, you actually came to laugh at me?” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

“You …… you!” Wei Yi Lin was disliked by Wei Ruo and didn’t know how to retort, his little face suddenly turned red.

After pondering for a while, Wei Yi Chen said to Wei Ruo in a heavy tone, “Ruo’er you’re not wrong, in this matter, we did handle it in a biased manner. What Yi Lin said was also very problematic, I will teach him well.”

“Well, I believe that big brother is a fair and just person, as well as a man of his word.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.

The words “fair and just” and “do what I say” were like two sharp blades cutting into Wei Yichen’s heart.

Wei Yi Chen realized that although they always said that they treated their two sisters the same, it seemed as if they naturally chose Wan Wan for many things and always subconsciously decided that Wan Wan was superior to Ruo Er.

“I’m sorry, it’s big brother who didn’t do enough.” Wei Yi Chen apologized.

Wei Ruo didn’t pick up Wei Yi Chen’s words and looked at Wei Qingwan’s house and said, “I came over today originally wanting to go and ask Qingwan sister what she needs to bring to class if she needs to pay attention to, now it seems that I’m not very popular, so forget it, I’ll go and ask second brother.”

Wei Yi Chen hurriedly called out to Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er, big brother can teach you these things as well.”

“No need, I guess, big brother is quite busy, so I won’t bother big brother.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Big brother is free now, why don’t you go back with big brother and big brother will explain with you?” Wei Yi Chen looked at Wei Ruo with an expectant gaze.

“It’s still not necessary, I think second brother is a bit more empty than big brother.” Wei Ruo still refused.

“Alright then.” Wei Yi Chen was not able to force himself any further, and his expression was a bit lost.

Wei Ruo didn’t bother with what Wei Yi Chen was thinking and turned to leave Wang Mei Yuan.

Glancing at the house behind her before leaving, she knew that Wei Qingwan was inside listening.

She had come today to return the favor of that day when Wei Qingwan had come to give her a gift.

On that day, Wei Qingwan had said that she had come to find her and give her gifts for her own good, so how could they immediately feel that she had come to show off and mock her after the situation had been reversed?

Although she didn’t want to compete with Wei Qingwan for favor and male lead at all, it didn’t mean that Wei Qingwan could bully her into coming over her head and messing with her openly and secretly.

It’s time to pay it back.

###

Two days later, a large and a small carriage were parked at the entrance of the school captain’s residence.

Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo walked out the door at about the same time.

Yun came to send her two daughters out the door, looking at Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, Yun’s heart was mixed.

Wei Qingwan was about to get on the big carriage when Wei Ruo called out to her:

“I’m sorry sister Qingwan, mother said that Xie’s house is farther away from the school captain’s mansion, so the big carriage is given to those who go to Xie’s house.”
