Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Seeking Mercy from Wei Ruo_1
“Yes.”
Wei Jinyi admitted straightforwardly.
“Why?” Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jinyi didn’t answer this question so quickly. He looked at Wei Ruo, his eyes hiding something.
“What’s wrong? Is there something inconvenient to say?” Wei Ruo asked.
“Nothing, I just felt at the time that the son of the Xiu Family was not suitable for you,” Wei Jinyi replied.
“Second Brother shouldn’t always make decisions for me unilaterally,” Wei Ruo expressed her dissatisfaction with the matter.
“I’m sorry,” Wei Jinyi apologized.
“Second Brother, you respect me in every other matter and always ask for my wishes. Why do you often fail to discuss with me when it comes to my marriage?” Wei Ruo wondered.
“It’s my mistake,” Wei Jinyi replied.
Because he had his ulterior motives, but after hearing her inner thoughts last time, he couldn’t express them anymore.
She expected him to be her brother, so he would be a good one for her.
Everything else, he would keep in his heart.
Wei Ruo did not dwell on the matter too much. After all, except for making decisions about her marriage without consulting her, Wei Jinyi always put her first in everything else.
Since she entered the Wang Residence, no matter what she wanted to do, he had unconditionally supported her and gave her free reign.
Wei Jinyi asked Wei Ruo, “Does Ruoruo like that Xiu gentleman?”
“Why do you ask, Second Brother?”
“You asked me about the broken engagement with Xiu gentleman today. Do you fancy him?”
It’s no surprise to Wei Jinyi that he suspected this. For more than a month, Wei Ruo had been running around for Xiu Fengyuan, taking matters into her own hands…
Wei Ruo paused, didn’t explain immediately, but counter-asked, “If I fancy him, what would you do, Second Brother? I am now your wife.”
Wei Jinyi’s fist clenched, and then he said, “I will try to free you, and you can remarry.”
Wei Ruo didn’t expect this would be Wei Jinyi’s answer.
The remaining bit of dissatisfaction in Wei Ruo’s heart disappeared, and then she explained, “He and I are just friends. When I was in Taizhou prefecture during the heavy snow, I was trapped midway with him and several disciples from the Anzhou Academy. Although we didn’t know each other well, we had shared hardships. I couldn’t bear to see him lose his arm at such a young age, and once I started treating him, naturally, I had to finish the job, there’s no such thing as giving up halfway.”
Wei Jinyi was taken aback for a moment, then replied, “I understand.”
Then, Wei Ruo called in Zhang Yi and asked him to deliver the reply to the Qi Residence.
###
Qi Residence.
The countenance of Qi Yansong, who received Wei Jinyi’s reply, was not good.
He had considered that King Rui would reject him, but he didn’t anticipate such disrespect from King Rui.
And he couldn’t take action against King Rui at the moment.
“Sir, the Queen Rui is from the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, and the people there have been wanting to meet you!”
The attendant reminded him.
“Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence…” Qi Yansong mused, “Recently, there has been quite a bit of commotion from the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, suggesting a revival.”
“Yes, sir, Queen Rui’s younger sister is the concubine chosen for King Yu by the Imperial Concubine.”
“King Rui is sickly, indeed not worth provoking indiscriminately. However, we can try to win over Queen Rui. Send a letter to the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence on my behalf, I want to meet with the Wei family,” Qi Yansong commanded.
