Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Gift Prepared for Everyone_1
Wei Qingwan looked gratefully towards the Bai Family’s Madam.
She wanted to ask, but was constrained by her own dignity. Now that Madam Bai spoke on her behalf, it couldn’t be better.
She had spent two thousand taels of silver on that box of scar removal cream and although the traces on her back were faint after its application, they were still noticeable if one looked closely which still bothered her.
If she could use two more boxes, perhaps it would completely disappear.
Regrettably, she did not have any more silver, and the cream was no longer available in Tongde Hall.
Originally, upon the advice of those around her, she had already let it go. Having faded the scar to this extent, she could more or less accept it.
But now, Wei Qingruo was applying the cream on Wei Yilin’s arm, why couldn’t she give it to her if she could waste it in such a way?
With a smile on her face, Wei Ruo slowly replied, “Two boxes were allocated for my old wounds and the one Yilin is using today is the last box. Wanwan, you had worked so hard to get those previous boxes and spending so much silver for them, I thought you had enough. After all, you never mentioned this matter to me.”
Previously, Wei Qingwan had asked Wei Ruo to lend her the silver. But after arriving in the capital city, Wei Qingwan had not told Wei Ruo that she had spent the two thousand taels on the cream.
Hearing this, Madam Bai of the Bai Family, who had been ready to argue, was suddenly at a loss for words. She could only respond awkwardly with a smile, “What a pity then.”
Wei Qingwan’s face turned ghastly; she didn’t believe what Wei Qingruo claimed. She had never heard of Wei Qingruo having any old wounds.
Wei Qingwan looked to Madam Yun, hoping she could speak up for her.
With a frown and clearly hesitant, Madam Yun finally uttered, “If you have any more, would you consider giving one box to your sister? Her back still bears some faint scars, it would be best if it could be removed completely.”
Even though Madam Yun still held a grudge against Wei Qingwan, she thought to seize this opportunity to improve the relationship between her two daughters considering the greater picture.
If the two sisters could help each other, it would be beneficial for both of them.
Madam Yun figured that once Wanwan agreed to accept Ruo’s favor, their relationship would improve. Then in the future, if Ruo encountered any difficulties, Wanwan could lend a helping hand.
Upon hearing these words, Wei Yilin, who was standing in front of Wei Ruo, furrowed her eyebrows. She had just heard her eldest sister say there was no cream left, why was her mother still asking? Did she not believe her eldest sister?
Even if her eldest sister was lying about having any cream left, she had stated her intention of not wanting to give any more away.
It was her eldest sister’s possession after all, she had the final say. No one could force her.
Wei Ruo flashed a smile, “Mother, as I said, I have none left. Surely, you do not want me to ask the Prince again? As you know, he is eccentric and temperamental. It’s part of my blessing that he treats me so generously and I should appreciate it. If I keep asking, I may annoy him. Or mother, do you think that compared to the scars on Wanwan’s back, my situation in King Rui’s Residence is of no concern?”
Madam Yun looked embarrassed, “That’s not what I meant.”
Wei Ruo replied, “I thought as much.”
Looking into Wei Ruo’s clear and bright eyes, Madam Yun had no choice but to hold her tongue even though she had more to say.
Wei Qingwan’s lips tightened as she averted her gaze, resentment flickering in her eyes.
Wei’s Grand Madam quickly changed the subject, “King Rui’s Consort must have been very busy these past days. There must be lots of rules and affairs to deal with.”
