Chapter 76 Tension

“Well …… danced ……,” replied Kita in a small voice.

Wei Jin also felt a jolt in his temples.

“What else did I say?”

“The young master didn’t say much, just said a lot of things that he wouldn’t normally say to Missy. He praised how good looking Missy is, as well as how delicious Missy and Xiu Mei’s dishes are, and …… “Xiao Bei used as many euphemisms as she could so that their young master wouldn’t be so devastated.

“What else?”

“And wait for Missy to compliment you ……” Xiao Bei finished with his head lowered so low that he didn’t even dare to look at his young master’s expression and reaction when he heard this.

……

Wei Jin also had another headache.

He’d stopped touching alcohol after his accident when he was ten years old, he didn’t like the feeling of losing control over his body and hated his own nonsense.

Yesterday, because of the sweet plum wine thought he was no longer capable of drinking, but also not to drink a cup of such a sweet fruit wine to get drunk before drinking.

###

For several days in a row, a tense atmosphere pervaded Xingshan County, and several times people saw troops coming and going in the city, as well as those transporting supplies and equipment.

Rumors were spreading that there was going to be a fight outside the city.

Previously it was all small-scale friction, this time it’s likely that war is going to break out on a large scale.

For a while the people of the city were worried.

If the battle was lost, the city gates failed and the Japanese entered the city, none of the people in the city would be spared.

But at this time, the various gates of Xingshan County have been strictly controlled access, the people, even if they want to escape, it is already too late.

At this time, the Wei family was also shrouded in a cloud.

Whether the rumors were true or not, even the Wei family had no way of knowing right now.

The government and the army have not announced to the public, and Wei Mingting has not returned home for ten days in a row, Wei’s family can not find the time to ask him even if they want to.

Yun was so worried that she could hardly eat, worrying that her husband would be injured in the process of fighting with those ruthless Japanese invaders after the war started.

While worrying, she had to continue to take care of everything at home and make preparations in case the battle was really lost and the Wei family needed to evacuate in time and relocate the family.

Yun had to be busy taking care of things up and down the home while also being on the lookout for her husband, and she couldn’t help but be exhausted.

Noticing these Wei Qingwan went to Cang Yun Yuan to accompany Yun every day, helping Yun to deal with some bits and pieces of trivial matters.

Wei Qingwan grew up in the Wei family since she was a child, for the things that the head of the family should do has long been some of the ears and eyes, to do up the right hand of the cloud is also at ease.

After the two had been busy in Yun’s study for a while, Yun stopped to take a short break.

Raising her eyes to look at Wei Qingwan, who was sitting at the table earnestly helping herself to co-ordinate the affairs of her home and arranging for the distribution of the monthly regulations, she was touched in her heart and couldn’t help but sigh, “Thanks to you, Wanwan, you’ve come to help me in the past few days.”

“Mother what are you talking about, it’s a blessing for me as a daughter to be able to help my mother share her worries.”

Wei Qingwan then put down the work on her hands and came behind Yun, pinching her shoulders.

While pinching, she said to Yun with great affection, “Mother, you are really working too hard, you need to work on big and small matters up and down the house, and now that the situation in the city is volatile, mother also has to worry about father who is at the frontline. Mother, you must take care of your health, my daughter doesn’t ask for how wealthy the family is, she only hopes that her parents will live a long and healthy life, so that my daughter can serve you into old age.”

“Ai, mother knows that you have a piece of filial piety.” Yun patted the back of Wei Qingwan’s hand with a look of relief.

Then he sighed and said, “With you at Mother’s side to help, Mother can also relax quite a bit, it’s just that there aren’t quite enough people at home, if something really happens and you really want to escape back to the capital, you’ll have to need more manpower to do so.”

Yun’s brow was furrowed with a heavy heart.

Her husband had given her this home, and she had to manage it well so that her husband would have no worries before she could do so.

Looking at Yun’s worried face, Wei Qingwan softly said, “Mother, since there are so many things going on in the house lately, why don’t we bring back Sister Li? My daughter doesn’t want mother to work so hard and laborious, and if Sister Li comes back, she can more or less help mother.”

“Sister Li made a mistake, punishing her to go to the manor for three months is already light, letting her come back in advance is afraid that it will make the people below feel that our Wei family is not strict in ruling the family.” Yun’s tone was somewhat helpless.

“Mother has a good point, just ……” Wei Qingwan bit her lip, the latter words to the mouth and swallowed back.

Seeing this, Yun said, “Wanwan, if you have anything to say, just tell Mother, we mother and daughter have nothing to hide.”

Wei Qingwan then hesitantly continued: “Daughter just think, now is a very period, should be some very punishment, the house is at the time of use, and Sister Li is very familiar with the size of the home affairs, if it is to come back to help mother to share the worry.”

“What you say is also reasonable, but the three-month punishment period has not expired, so I cannot easily change it.” Yun was somewhat persuaded.

“Punishment isn’t only punishment when you go to the manor, you can also continue to be punished when you return to the mansion, such as continuing to fine the Sister’s monthly money and making her do some rough work.” Wei Qingwan proposed.

Yun thought carefully about Wei Qingwan’s words, indeed, nowadays the family is indeed understaffed, and Sister Li can’t help much at the manor, so she can only bring her value into play when she returns home.

“Wanwan, tell Mother honestly, you don’t want to miss Sister Li?” Yun asked.

Wei Qingwan bit her lips, her eyes slightly red, lowered her head, looked sad and silent.

Yun sighed, where in her heart she would not understand.

In the end, Sister Li is the old man of the house, but also from childhood to teach and serve Wan Wan, Wan Wan and her affection is certainly deeper than the other people.

“What you just said does make some sense, now I am indeed too short of manpower, let Sister Li come back home, but punish her with three more months of monthly money, in addition, even if she goes back to the house, the Sister in charge will still be Sister Zhang.” Yun said.

That’s kind of a follow-up punishment for Sister Lee.

“Everything is at mother’s disposal.” Wei Qingwan was overjoyed.

No matter what, it was always possible to get Sister Lee to come back to the house.

Yun naturally saw Wei Qingwan’s happiness, “Mother also knows that you and Sister Li’s feelings are good, this time she was punished to go to the manor to make you a little sad, but you also need to know that she is ultimately an inferior in our family, so bold and presumptuous if you don’t treat her properly, in the future, I don’t know how to want to climb to the master’s head.”

“You don’t want to spoil her too much this time she’s back, you need to make her realize who she is.”

“Daughter knows, please don’t worry, Mother, daughter will properly admonish Sister so that she doesn’t make any more mistakes.” Wei Qingwan hurriedly assured Yun.

After talking with Wei Qingwan about Sister Li, Yun then sighed and asked, “I wonder what Ruo’er has been busy with these past few days?”
