Chapter 552 - 552 Shut Your Dog’s Mouth _1

Following this, Wei Yichen’s eyes, filled with a deep, chilly, and indecipherable gaze, landed on Wei Ruo, “Now you know, I am a person who holds a grudge.”

“I should be careful not to offend you in the future,” said Wei Ruo, half joking and half serious.

Afterward, Wei Ruo glanced around and saw that Prince Yu was heading towards Wei Yichen, so she quickened her pace and distance herself from Wei Yichen.

When Wei Ruo had moved some distance away, Wei Yichen murmured: “You’re different.”

Chu Heng walked up to Wei Yichen and smilingly asked, “What were you and the ninth sister talking about just now?”

“Nothing important, Queen Rui was just inquiring about the health of my grandparents.”

Watching Wei Ruo’s receding figure, Chu Heng said: “The ninth sister truly is amazing, versatile, and a rare talent. It’s a pity that she is a woman.”

“Queen Rui is quite good as she is now,” replied Wei Yichen.

“True, it’s just a pity that the ninth brother’s health is quite weak. Otherwise, the ninth brother and sister could have formed an admirable couple, just like the current Prince Huai and his Queen.”

Wei Yichen didn’t respond, the look on his face was deep and meaningful.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Anxin Garden, Wei Ruo was still thinking about what had just happened.

Wei Ruo felt that from the way Wei Yichen secretly took revenge on Wei Qingwan, it was clear that he was now very astute. With his current ability, there should be no problem with him maintaining his position in the officialdom.

Then Wei Ruo entered Anxin Garden.

Still in the yard, Wei Ruo could hear Wei Qingwan’s sobbing from inside the house.

There was also Madame Yun’s voice comforting her: “Stop crying, you are pregnant, and this is a crucial time. Crying and affecting the baby would be a real loss.”

“Today, big brother clearly wants to sever ties with me with his words.”

“Yichen’s words may not necessarily mean what you think. Today, he happened to encounter this situation and had to say a few words to appease Prince Yu.” Madame Yun comforted.

“But… Big brother usually speaks very carefully. If he cares about me in his heart, he would definitely not speak like this.”

“Don’t overthink things. Yichen is honest and straightforward, and doesn’t have many schemes.” replied Madame Yun.

“But today, what big brother said falls into the prince’s ears. Who knows what the prince will think of me. Mother, what should I do?”

“This…” Madame Yun also didn’t know how to comfort her.

Just as this was being discussed, Wei Ruo entered, and the two people in the room immediately stopped talking.

“Ruo Ruo, you’re here.” Madame Yun got up, walked towards Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo had a naturally unresponsive demeanor and sat down on Taishi Chair on the side. Then, she waved to Madame Yun and Wei Qingwan, “You continue, pretend I’m not here.”

Wei Ruo had nowhere else to go. Wei Mingting was currently speaking with Prince Yu Chu Heng, and she had to wait a while to find him.

Wei Qingwan’s tears were still in her eyes, not knowing whether to fall or to suppress them.

“Ruo Ruo…” Madame Yun seemed a bit embarrassed, and then deliberately changed the topic, “Ruo Ruo, look, Wan Wan here has good news even though she entered the palace later than you. When will there be good news on your side?”

“My prince is weak, we can’t rush this.”

Wei Jinyi’s poor health really was a universal excuse, it could be used anytime.

“That’s true…” Madame Yun thought for a while, then said, “I heard that Tongde Hall in the Capital City is selling a medicine that is specially for men’s deficiency. They say it has good effects with no side effects, maybe King Rui can use it…”

“Does mother want me to bear a child for King Rui that much?” Wei Ruo interrupted.

“Ah,” sighed Madame Yun, “Ruo Ruo, I have your best interests at heart. King Rui’s health is poor, and we don’t know how long he can live. Once he’s gone, you won’t be able to live comfortably. But if you can give birth to his children, you will have someone to rely on in the future.”

“We’ll see later.” Wei Ruo smiled and didn’t argue, because she felt the significance of arguing wasn’t very great. It would be hard for her to convince Madame Yun to accept her ideas.

What’s more, the reality of her relationship with King Rui is far from what Madame Yun imagines.

Wei Qingwan looked up at Wei Ruo and asked, “Sister, since Four Treasure House and Baili Wine Shop are owned by you, why didn’t you tell the truth back then? At first, mother went through a lot of trouble to make big brother get the qualification to be a disciple of the Tibetan layman, but sister, you kept silent without revealing a word.”

Wei Qingwan’s question also drew Madame Yun’s thoughts back to this matter. She wanted to ask Wei Ruo earlier, but she didn’t ask directly because Prince Yu was present.

Madame Yun asked, “Yes, why haven’t you mentioned this before? You just watched me worry about your big brother’s affairs?”

“Has mother ever trusted me before?” Wei Ruo counter-questioned.

Madame Yun was stunned.

“Did you stand by my side when Wei Qingwan slandered me?” Wei Ruo asked again.

Madame Yun was speechless.

“Mother has always been opposed to what I did before. If I had let Mother know that I was doing business outside, wouldn’t my mother have called me to scold me and ask me to stop everything?” Wei Ruo asked again.

Madame Yun was left without words at Wei Ruo’s questioning.

Correct, if she had known in Taizhou prefecture that her daughter was opening shops and doing business covertly, she would definitely have opposed it.

Those were things done by lowly merchants, how could her daughter, a lady from Duke’s Residence, do such things?

If this was spread out, wouldn’t it damage her reputation?

It would not only affect her own marriage but also Wanwan’s marriage.

In other words, her eldest daughter’s current status and situation, as well as the current world situation, had helped a lot. Otherwise, Ruo Ruo would definitely receive criticism for her actions.

Seeing that Madame Yun had no response, Wei Qingwan said, “Sister, how can you conclude without trying? Besides, there are no parents who don’t love their children. Even if mother had made wrong judgments in the past, sister should not hold grudges forever.”

“Shut your dog mouth, just you talk too much!” Wei Ruo retorted directly.

Wei Qingwan was startled by Wei Ruo’s words, then here eyes turned red. The tears that had just been suppressed once again fell from her eyes.

“Cry, cry, cry, do you have any other strategies besides using tears to hide your guilt and incompetence? You have changed from the second young lady of the Wei family to a concubine of Prince Yu, and this behavior of yours hasn’t changed at all!” Wei Ruo questioned.

“Ruo Ruo, don’t scare Wan Wan like this, she’s pregnant right now and can’t cry.” Madame Yun hurriedly interjected.

“If she doesn’t even care about her own health, should I worry about her?” Wei Ruo retorted without concern for their feelings.

“You…you’re becoming more and more…”

Unreasonable!

Madame Yun only dared to say half of it, and the remaining words were swallowed back.
