Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Decisive Break_1

“There’s really no need, you don’t have to do anything for me,” Wei Ruo declined.

Madam Yun’s hand stiffened.

Wei Ruo’s refusal was more decisive than she had imagined.

“Ruoruo!” Madam Yun’s face was stained with tears.

“Mother, please go back,” Wei Ruo said impassively.

As she spoke, Wei Ruo glanced at Cuiping who was standing nearby. “Take madam back.”

After saying this, Wei Ruo turned away.

Even on possibly their last meeting, she had nothing to say to Madam Yun.

“Ruoruo! Ruoruo! Ruoruo…”

Watching Wei Ruo turn and leave, Madam Yun repeatedly called her name.

Wei Ruo didn’t look back, she just climbed back into the carriage.

“Ruoruo!” Madam Yun tried to follow, but was stopped by Xiumei.

Cuiping, standing next to her, also held her back: “Madam…”

“Ruoruo!” Madam Yun continued to call out to Wei Ruo, ignoring Cuiping and Xiumei’s attempts to stop her.

Wei Ruo heard Madam Yun calling her but didn’t turn back.

Wei Ruo returned to the carriage, displaying a cool expression.

Wei Ruo didn’t understand why Madam Yun was so affected by their parting, perhaps she realized that this might be the last time she’d see her birth daughter?

She saw Madam Yun’s tears. For some reason, seeing those tears and her sad demeanor, she didn’t feel anything.

Even the original consciousness remaining in this body felt no ripple.

There was neither joy nor sorrow, it was simply indifferent.

Compared to Madam Yun, Wei Ruo was actually more filled with joy at leaving the Capital City and anticipation for her upcoming life.

Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Jinyi, beside her.

To maintain King Rui’s frail appearance and the loving facade between him and his wife, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi share the same carriage as they left the capital.

Wei Jinyi wouldn’t be free to move about until they reached the Jiliao Region. Until then, he would avoid showing his face as much as possible.

At this moment, Wei Jinyi was also looking at Wei Ruo.

Their eyes met, and Wei Ruo read concern in his eyes.

Wei Ruo gave him a slight smile, “Brother, don’t worry, I’m fine. Neither the Capital City nor the Wei Family holds anything I can’t bear to part with. On the contrary, my foster family has already moved to Jiliao, and I can be with them once I get there. I’m looking forward to that.”

“Mm.” From Wei Ruo’s hopeful eyes, Wei Jinyi could tell that she truly felt this way.

Then, Wei Ruo leaned back onto the carriage’s cushion.

Madam Yun’s voice could still be heard intermittently outside. However, this didn’t affect Wei Ruo’s mood at all.

Soon, the King Rui’s caravan was on its way again, Madam Yun’s voice, as well as the voices of those who came to see them off grew fainter and fainter until unheard.

Madam Yun stood in the same spot, her gaze following King Rui’s caravan until it disappeared through the city gates.

“Madam, let’s go back,” Cuiping coaxed.

Madam Yun didn’t move.

“Madam…”

Only after few persuasions from Cuiping did Madam Yun slowly turn around and begin to retrace her steps, her expression impassive.
