Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Ruoruo, this child still bears a grudge against me_1
Wei Qingwan chuckled softly, “My sister has always been like this.”
Mrs. Bai went on, “It doesn’t bother me much, but I feel sorry for you, Wanwan. You consider her a sister, but she’s always on guard against you. If I were her, I would share everything generously with you, because I know your character. If someone treats you well, you always return the favor. If she treats you kindly, you would treat her more than twice or thrice as well.”
Wei Qingwan responded, “I can’t guess what my sister is thinking. If she doesn’t want to be close to me, there’s not much I can say.”
Mrs. Bai sighed pretentiously, “What a pity.”
After the minor interlude, Madam Lu, along with other women, took a stroll through the garden in the Lu Residence, admiring the scenery.
For Mrs. Bai and the others, it was their first glimpse of the grandeur of the Lu Family. The garden alone was larger than two or three houses of other families.
Mrs. Bai muttered to herself that although the Wei Family were descendants of a founding hero, they had declined significantly and were no match for the Lu Residence now.
Madam Yun seized an opportunity to approach Wei Ruo and asked her, “When did you form a connection with young master Lu?”
“Mother, you’re not suspecting that there’s anything inappropriate between the young master of the Lu Family and me, are you?” Wei Ruo replied with a smirk.
“Why would I ever imply such a thing? Since Madam Lu could openly discuss this matter in public, there’s certainly no foul play involved. Are you suggesting that I, as your mother, am completely ignorant?” Madam Yun asked heatedly.
“I can’t really say, considering Mother has always distrusted me.” Wei Ruo replied lightly.
“You…” Madam Yun was taken aback and speechless for the moment.
After a short silence, Madam Yun asked again, “When did you rescue the young master of the Lu Family?”
“It’s not appropriate for me to disclose this to Mother.” Wei Ruo answered.
“Why are you behaving like this?” Madam Yun inquired.
“Mother, I regard you as my mother out of respect and obligation, but not out of affection. Surely, you understand why I behave this way towards you?” Wei Ruo retorted.
Madam Yun’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Wei Ruo’s cold expression and her eyes devoid of any hint of anger or resentment, she was taken aback.
Her gaze was as indifferent as a stranger’s.
Madam Yun rooted herself to the spot, but Wei Ruo continued to walk on.
Before Wei Ruo got married, she had some reservations. But now that she was Queen Rui, even these reservations were gone.
Madam Yun stood there as Wei Ruo slowly walked away. It felt as if Wei Ruo would never return.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mo approached her and asked concernedly, “What’s the matter, third sister?”
Madam Yun opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
She felt as if her chest was being crushed by a boulder; it was a heavy, suffocating sensation accompanied by a dull pain.
After a while, Madam Yun came back to her senses. Seeing the crowd around her, she concealed her unpleasant feelings and pretended to continue the garden tour with Mrs. Mo.
Madam Yun whispered to Mrs. Mo, “My daughter Ruoruo is still holding a grudge against me.”
“You two are mother and daughter. If there are some misunderstandings, you should sit down and talk. I believe Ruoruo is capable of appreciating favors. She treats those who treat her well in kind.” Mrs. Mo comforted softly.
