Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Can Leave the Capital City Now_1
“No, no, it isn’t.” Wei Ruo shook her head.
This must be her second brother’s promise to take her away from Capital City!
He has kept his promise!
Wei Ruo was surprised and taken aback because she didn’t expect things to move so quickly!
Wei Ruo explained to Xiumei, “My second brother once mentioned that he would take me away from Capital City, and I think this is his arrangement. I didn’t tell you before because things were not certain.”
“Really? We can leave Capital City? That would be wonderful!” Xiumei exclaimed in excitement, paused in thought, then asked, “Miss, where is the Jiliao Region?”
“It’s in the northeast of Daye, and also where Brother Xiaoyong will be transferred.”
“What? So we will be together with Brother Xiaoyong?” Xiumei’s eyes brightened even more.
Since Xu Zhengyong was to leave Capital City the next day, Xiumei was feeling a bit down.
Yet now they would reunite very soon!
“That’s correct.” Wei Ruo nodded.
Perhaps this was also specifically arranged by my second brother?
While Wei Ruo was thinking, Wei Jinyi came over.
Wei Ruo turned her head to see Wei Jinyi standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Draped in a dark blue cloak with a black fur collar, he stood in the doorway, his bright eyes gazing at her softly.
“Second brother.” Wei Ruo took the initiative to walk towards Wei Jinyi, “Was this imperial decree your arrangement?”
Wei Jinyi slightly nodded.
A smile spread across Wei Ruo’s face, “Thank you.”
“You don’t always have to thank me.”
“I don’t know what else to say besides thank you.” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Jinyi remained silent.
Wei Ruo then asked, “Was it also your deliberate arrangement for us to go to the Jiliao Region?”
“Yes.” Wei Jinyi replied, “It’s a bitterly cold place. Are you afraid?”
“I don’t mind the harsh conditions, I’m only afraid of not being able to use my capabilities.”
“Due to its harsh and barren conditions, the Jiliao Region has few entrenched noble families, and the local powers have no involvement in the court intrigue.” Wei Jinyi explained.
“You’re right, second brother.”
“The condition of your adoptive mother’s family is one of the considerations as well.” Wei Jinyi added.
“Thank you, second brother.” She knew that her second brother had taken this into consideration.
Wei Ruo completely agreed with Wei Jinyi’s views. Given the choice of picking a place on the Geomancy Map of Daye, she would probably choose the same location too.
Apart from the reasons mentioned by her second brother, there is another factor that she deemed important: the Jiliao Region was a treasure land for her.
Despite its cold winters, it was a valuable piece of black soil land!
Wei Ruo then asked Wei Jinyi, “Have you almost finished dealing with everything now, second brother?”
Although asking this question felt somewhat redundant, as her second brother had already been making the preparations to leave, Wei Ruo still wanted to know about the progress. She was afraid that Wei Jinyi had chosen to leave early because of her.
“Yes. The vengeance for my maternal grandparents’ family has been avenged, the court situation is relatively stable, and the remaining affairs can be dealt with even if I’m not in Capital City.” Wei Jinyi answered.
After pausing, Wei Jinyi added: “You don’t have to worry, I am not leaving the Capital City in a rush, everything is properly settled. I will not overlook later issues due to an early departure.”
