Chapter 471: Chapter 471 Clear Direction_1

Wei Ruo quickly turned her head away and murmured, “Of course, I’m still mad at you. I haven’t forgotten how you deceived me. However, we’re on the same team now, and it’s only through mutual cooperation that we can maximize our interests. You know, I love doing business, and a good business person will consider this thoroughly to make big profits.”

“Hmm,” Wei Jinyi responded.

Wei Ruo: “You understand?”

Wei Jinyi: “Yes, I understand.”

Wei Ruo: “Well, good.”

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wei Ruo cleared her throat and continued, “You need to be particularly careful of Chu Lan. He is a capable and shrewd man.”

“Why are you so afraid of him?” Wei Jinyi asked.

“I saved him by mistake and our encounters were a bit unpleasant.”

Wei Ruo wasn’t entirely truthful about this with Wei Jinyi because she couldn’t tell him that she still remembered the past life where the original mistress of this body was killed by Chu Lan.

Wei Ruo continued, “In any case, he seems to be a tough opponent. You should be especially careful when you confront him. If it’s not necessary, try not to conflict with him. Utilizing him as a force might be better.”

“I understand,” Wei Jinyi agreed.

Wei Ruo suddenly remembered something and asked, “When you were in Taizhou prefecture, were you the one who attempted to attack King Jing?”

“No, not me,” Wei Jinyi answered.

“Good, we have not made an enemy of Chu Lan then.”

“It was King Yu,” Wei Jinyi said.

“He is indeed bold. He hasn’t ascended to the throne yet and he’s already committing fratricide,” Wei Ruo had suspected this before, and now her suspicions were confirmed.

“Chu Lan’s performance in the Taizhou prefecture was quite good, so he was a bit anxious.”

“Hmm,” was all Wei Ruo could reply.

The two of them stopped talking, and the room fell into silence, the atmosphere slightly awkward.

“Um…”

Both of them start speaking simultaneously and then stop.

Wei Ruo turns away, and the room goes silent once more.

Wei Ruo broke the silence again, “Is there anything else you want to say, second brother?”

“No,” replied Wei Jinyi.

“It’s getting late, you should go.” Wei Ruo stood up, turning her back to Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi stood up too.

“You should rest early,” he said gently.

Wei Ruo could then hear the gradual fading of footsteps behind her, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.

He had left.

Wei Ruo let out a sigh of relief.

Wei Ruo then cleared her mind again.

Having shared her feelings with her brother, she knew what she needed to do was clear. Her next steps were already as she had expected.

Mainly two items:

Firstly: Fulfill her role as Queen Rui and assist her brother in taking his revenge within her capabilities;

Secondly: Earn money, grow rice and cotton, and prepare sufficient supplies to deal with any potential extreme weather conditions.

We Ruo then called Xiumei in.
