Wei Ruo was also looking at Madam Yuan, whom she recognized as the woman she had assisted during childbirth in the outskirts on a certain day!

Wei Ruo composed herself quickly and spoke before Madam Yuan: “Madam, it’s our first meeting and I’m greatly sorry for causing any inconvenience.”

Madam Yuan was looking at Wei Ruo’s lucid eyes. She was puzzled only for a moment before she realized what was going on.

“It’s fine, you didn’t disturb me at all.” Madam Yuan smiled and said.

Wei Ruo looked bright and seemed like she had something to say. Surely, she must have recognized Madam Yuan.

Her words of ‘first meeting’ was an attempt to hide something.

Unaware of what she was trying to hide, Madam Yuan played along.

“How should I address you?” Madam Yuan asked affectionately, holding Wei Ruo’s hand.

“My father, Wei Mingting, led the Xingshan County’s resistance against the Japanese invasion. I am his daughter, Qingruo.” Wei Ruo responded.

“So it’s Miss Wei.” Madam Yuan said softly, “I feel that Miss Wei and I have a deep connection as though we’ve met many times before. It made me feel delighted.”

Madam Yun came forward to apologize on Wei Ruo’s behalf, “Madam Yuan, my daughter was reckless and bumped into you. Please forgive us.”

While saying this, Madam Yun gave a stern look to Wei Ruo, signaling her to apologize quickly.

Before Wei Ruo could say a word, Madam Yuan intervened, “It’s fine. Such a small incident won’t affect me at all! I’m not made of porcelain. Moreover, Miss Wei must have had a reason. Did something dangerous happen to you?”

Madam Yuan looked warmly and affectionately at Wei Ruo.

Madam Yuan’s attitude surprised everyone. They had assumed that even if she didn’t blame Wei Ruo for bumping into her, she wouldn’t be particularly friendly towards her.

Contrarily, Madam Yuan appeared to have developed a fondness for Wei Qingruo, which surprised everyone, including Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan.

Before responding to Madam Yuan’s question, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan amidst the crowd.

Wei Qingwan trembled, lowering her head in fear, her eyes avoiding Wei Ruo’s gaze.

Then, Wei Ruo replied to Madam Yuan: “I was admiring the LOTUS POND, when suddenly someone bumped into me from behind. I was pushed towards the pond and my foot stepped into the water. In order to save myself from falling in, I had to grab a bush on the bank and I might have used some extra force.”

After Wei Ruo’s explanation, the expression on Madam Yuan’s face changed slightly, turning somewhat stern. She further asked, “Who bumped into Miss Wei just now? Who dared to harm my guests in my residence?!”

Everyone’s faces changed at Madam Yuan’s words.

Wei Qingwan trembled, visibly fearful.

After the silence, one person stood up and pointed out, “I saw it. The one who bumped into Miss Wei was wearing a pink dress.”

The speaker didn’t know who Wei Qingwan was, but she could recognize her outfit.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan and everyone else’s gaze fell on Wei Qingwan.

Madam Yun looked at Wei Qingwan in shock. Was it Wanwan who pushed Ruoruo?

Wei Qingwan was frightened and immediately explained, “I didn’t mean to bump into my sister. I tripped over something as I approached her, lost my balance, and ended up knocking her. It was completely unintentional!”

Wei Qingwan had already thought of this explanation, but she didn’t expect Madam Yuan to pursue the matter, which made her extremely nervous.

Madam Yuan sternly asked the third daughter of the Zhang family, who had accused Wei Qingwan, “Miss Zhang, is what Miss Wei just said true?”

Miss Zhang pondered for a moment and replied, “It should be true. It seemed to me that she got tripped and then fell onto Miss Wei.”

Wei Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun also quickly said, “So it was a misunderstanding. Wanwan, quickly apologize to your sister and Madam Yuan.”

Wei Qingwan quickly said to Wei Ruo, “Sister, I’m sorry. It’s my fault that you got hurt.”

Then she turned to Madam Yuan and apologized, “Madam Yuan, it was my fault. I disturbed you and disrupted your garden party.”

Madam Yuan’s attitude towards Qingwan wasn’t as good: “If it was your fault, why didn’t you explain it firsthand? Why did you wait for someone else to expose the truth?”

Wei Qingwan quickly explained, “Today is my first time attending an occasion like this. I was stunned by the incident and forgot to explain. I hope you can forgive me.”

Madam Yuan’s face was still stern, “Miss Wei, as the daughter of the Wei family and the granddaughter of the Loyal and Righteous Duke, you panicked at a slight incident. Seeing your elder sister being shocked and blamed, yet you said nothing, isn’t that too disgraceful?”

Madam Yuan’s words were harsh, further establishing Wei Qingwan’s inferior image among the high-ranking ladies of the city who were seeing her for the first time.

With Madam Yuan being so critical, who in the capital city would look favorably upon second Miss Wei?

Wei Qingwan was pale and felt a chill throughout her body.

Madam Yun’s face also turned pale.

These may have been harsh words, but they were delivered by Madam Yuan. Even in the Capital City, Madam Yuan’s words carry weight!

Her daughter is now thirteen. With such a reputation, how will she have a decent future?

Madam Yun wanted to say something in Wei Qingwan’s defense, but looking at Madam Yuan’s stern face, she feared she might provoke her further so she swallowed her words.

After reprimanding Wei Qingwan, Madam Yuan saw that Wei Ruo’s dress had been dirtied. She said, “Miss Wei, your dress has gotten dirty. Come with me to the house and we’ll change your clothes.”

“Thank you, Madam,” Wei Ruo thanked her.

Madam Yuan said to the ladies, “I’m sorry. I need to take Miss Wei to change her clothes. I’ll be back soon.”

Everyone watched Madam Yuan and Wei Ruo depart, increasingly puzzled.

Madam Yuan’s favor towards Miss Wei was too excessive. Instead of sending a maid to help her change her clothes, Madam Yuan personally accompanied her. Why?

Wei Ruo was led into the room by Madam Yuan.

Once inside, Madam Yuan changed the way she addressed Wei Ruo, “Dear benefactor, you’ve made me search desperately!”

Wei Ruo replied somewhat sheepishly, “That day I had to rush back. I have a young maid at home who would have been anxiously waiting for me if I got home late.”

Madam Yuan responded, “After that day, my husband sent out people several times to investigate and search for you around that area, but they always came back with no information. I didn’t expect to bump into you today.”

Then Madam Yuan asked, “You and I met in Huzhou Prefecture that day, how come you’re now the legitimate daughter of the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence house?”

Madam Yuan had heard about Miss Wei’s story. Since the seventh prince had also participated in the reclamation of the wasteland in the southern part of the city, she and her husband paid more attention to this matter.

However, she could never imagine that this Miss Wei was the Divine Doctor who saved her and her child that day..
