Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Improper Thoughts About Second Brother_1

“No,” Wei Jinyi denied.

Following that, Wei Jinyi stood up.

As it was already getting late, Wei Jinyi did not linger long. After advising Wei Ruo to rest early, he departed.

After Wei Jinyi left, Wei Ruo went to bed after washing up.

However, after lying in bed, Wei Ruo couldn’t fall asleep.

Her mind was filled with the content of her recent conversation with Wei Jinyi.

Her longing to leave the Capital City was mingled with gratitude towards Wei Jinyi.

She looked forward to leaving the Capital City. Once she left, with her current status and property, she could do many things she couldn’t do before and live more freely than she does now.

However, she had no plans for how she would regard her relationship with her second brother after leaving the Capital City.

Recently, she had been having some “inappropriate thoughts” about her second brother, which troubled her.

She knew that her second brother cherished her, and as his sister, she should not have thoughts about him other than familial love.

But whenever she was alone with her second brother, she would have emotions and thoughts that exceeded sibling boundaries.

She couldn’t be blamed for having such thoughts. After all, her second brother’s face was so irresistible, and he was so gentle and considerate towards her. Coupled with her coming of age, she couldn’t help but feel restless the more she saw him, right?

Ah, when would her adolescent feelings finally cease?

She did not want to disrupt the balance that existed between them!

What if her second brother found out and started avoiding her, what would she do then?

Her second brother treated her so well, and yet she had improper thoughts about him.

Was that even human behavior?

No, it’s not right, Wei Ruo, you can’t act like this!

Wei Ruo covered her face with her blanket and whimpered a few times.

Then she uncovered herself and encouraged herself, “Wei Ruo, you need to pull yourself together. Appreciate your second brother and stop thinking about these nonsensical things. This is not your style!”

“You can’t think any more, or you’ll have dark circles under your eyes when you wake up tomorrow!”

“Regardless, knowing that I have a chance to leave the Capital City is something worth celebrating!”

After talking to herself for a while, Wei Ruo successfully managed to calm herself down and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Wei Ruo heard good news from the palace as soon as she woke up.

The Emperor had ordered the execution of Concubine Qi, banished Empress Hui to the Cold Palace, and imprisoned Queen Jing, Zuo Lingyue, in the Sky Prison.

There were no specific instructions for Chu Lan, but the Emperor had summoned King Qin, who was in charge of supervising the shipbuilding in Taizhou Prefecture, back to the capital.

This move seemed to hint at reusing King Qin and also indicated that the incident had had some impact on Chu Lan.

Things were developing in the direction she and her second brother had hoped for.

Wei Ruo was in high spirits. Early in the morning, she personally went to the field of the Wang Residence to pick vegetables, mushrooms, and even caught a fat old hen.

Then she ran to the kitchen and cooked a delicious meal. Around noon, she brought it to Wei Jinyi’s study.

After Ke Chongshan and Zhang Yi finished reporting to Wei Jinyi, they both smiled at each other.

Zhang Yi joked, “Master, we won’t disturb your lunch. We’ve smelled the delicious food prepared by the young mistress. It smells really good!”

Ke Chongshan laughed heartily, “My wife has a good appetite lately, so I will go back and have lunch with her!”

After the two left Wei Jinyi’s study, Wei Ruo came in with two food baskets.
