Chapter 494: Chapter 494: I refuse to help_1

Mo and Yun Shis, standing by the side, were also taken aback when Wei Ruo surprisingly made a direct move.

They were dumbfounded to see Bai Shi drenched in water.

Wei Ruo casually placed the tea cup back onto the table, then held up her sleeve to continue steeping the tea.

“If Second Aunt continues to speak nonsense, what comes next to her face will not just be cooled down tea.”

“I… I am doing this for your own good, how can you… not appreciate kindness!” Bai Shi was livid.

“You are asking me for a favor and also claiming to be thinking for my good? I already knew that Second Aunt was shameless, but I did not know that it was to this extent.” Wei Ruo calmly responded.

Today, she was no longer the Miss from the Wei Family that not yet marrying out, and this was not the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence anymore.

She was now free to speak out about those things that she used to be restrained due to respect for elders and hierarchy.

Bai Shi’s face turned red and white after listening to what Wei Ruo had to say.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Yun Shi quickly interjected, “Queen, don’t take it to heart. Your Second Aunt is just tactless with her words.”

This statement made Bai Shi feel even more upset, “Third Sister, how could you…”

Mo Shi held onto Bai Shi, whispering, “Second Sister, be careful. With your status, receiving criticism from the Queen is an honor. Besides, we are here today to ask Queen for a favor.”

Bai Shi was feeling very uncomfortable. However, Mo Shi’s words brought her back to senses.

She swallowed her raging anger, bowing her head and biting her lips, while cursing Wei Ruo silently.

This ungrateful wretch! When this girl suffers in the future, she will definitely have a good show to watch!

Yun Shi continued to persuade Wei Ruo: “Your Royal Highness, the King Rui Residence doesn’t necessarily owe the Qi Family a favor, but if the divine doctor of the King’s residence really can help, it would be good for the King’s residence. It could also help solve a troublesome matter for the Emperor.”

“But, I don’t want to do so.”

Wei Ruo’s reply was straightforward. She didn’t give any other reason, except that she didn’t want to.

Yun Shi continued, “Your Royal Highness, think of it as helping your family.”

“I don’t want to help.” Wei Ruo declared.

“Your family is your maiden home. If your family gains influence, it will benefit you as well.” Yun Shi explained.

“What does that have to do with me?” Wei Ruo retorted.

Yun Shi was surprised that her daughter was so cold that there seemed to be no place for them in her heart.

“Your Royal Highness should consider her future carefully.” Yun Shi tried to persuade her again.

She really wanted to tell her daughter that she was on the same side as Bai Shi because she was genuinely thinking about her daughter’s best interests.

In the past, she strongly opposed Wei Mingyong and Bai Shi’s idea of courting the Qi Family. If it were the past, she would have definitely disagreed with their actions.

But now, she was repeating these words to her daughter just because she had become the Queen of King Rui!

“Don’t you all think that I will be miserable in the future? Then why shouldn’t I enjoy the present moment and be happy for the time being?” Wei Ruo countered.

Yun Shi was speechless, unable to find words to respond to Wei Ruo’s questions.

Yun Shi, Bai Shi, and Mo Shi all quieted down.

Wei Ruo said, “It seems that none of you are in the mood to continue drinking my tea. If that is the case, you may all leave.”
