Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Farewell to Parents_1
Madam Yun’s hand tenderly ran a wooden comb through Wei Ruo’s hair, which was not yet tied up in a hair bun.
Wei Ruo did not stop her, only quietly watched.
Combing, Madam Yun stopped, gazing blankly at Wei Ruo’s reflection in the mirror…
After a while, Madam Yun said to Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, now that you are to become a wife after today, you must be careful in everything. Especially since you are marrying into the Royal Family, every word and action you take must be proper, so as not to give others a chance to find fault with you.”
“It is rumoured that Prince Rui is not easy to get along with, you should be careful not to be as direct as you are at home. At home, being blunt may result in some discipline, but it will not be so simple under Prince Rui.”
Madam Yun continued, “It is a blessing that you and Wanwan could marry into the Royal Family. No matter how things were in the past, you should support and help each other in the future. Let go of those unpleasant memories, if you want life to be smoother, you must look forward.”
Wei Ruo did not respond and remained calm.
Seeing no other outsiders around, Madam Yun went on to say more explicitly: “Ruoruo, you are also aware of the state of Prince Rui’s health. If Prince Yu ascends the throne in the future, you may need to rely on Wanwan in some aspects. So, you must think more about your future.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Ruo only flashed a light smile and did not argue with Madam Yun.
At this time, Xie Ying arrived.
Seeing a visitor, Madam Yun put down her comb and paused in her admonishment of Wei Ruo.
Just then, Cuiping came to notify Madam Yun to go to the front courtyard. So, Madam Yun left first.
“Ruoruo!”
Xie Ying huffily rushed in, holding a box in her hand.
Seeing Xie Ying, a smile came upon Wei Ruo’s face.
“Why are you so late? Have you decided not to see me off for my wedding?” Wei Ruo teased.
“Not at all! I almost missed it because of this.” Xie Ying said, looking at the object in her hand.
“What have you been mysteriously preparing for me in secret?”
“It’s nothing really, I just found some high-quality ginseng. But it took some time to get it here, and it only arrived today. I barely made it in time.” Xie Ying grumbled.
“Thank you.”
“Why are you being so polite with me? Given the friendship between us, there’s no need for thanks.” Xie Ying said jovially.
After giving the gift box to Xiumei, Xie Ying came to Wei Ruo’s side and remarked after looking at Wei Ruo’s makeup, “You are so beautiful! I originally wanted you to be my sister-in-law, but it’s a shame that my brother isn’t fortunate enough.”
“Don’t jest, come here, I have some things for you.”
Wei Ruo opened the drawer to her left and took out a heavy brocade bag and handed it to Xie Ying.
Inside the brocade bag were several boxes of a popular whitening cream recently sold at Daiyue Residence.
Xie Ying had mentioned it the last time they met, and Wei Ruo remembered, specifically saving some for her.
“Why are you giving me gifts on your wedding day?” Xie Ying said.
“Isn’t it because I haven’t had any free time? Today you happened to visit. What does it matter whether it’s my wedding day or not? It’s likely to be even harder for me to see you after I’m married, it’s better to give you these now.” Wei Ruo replied.
She didn’t know what kind of place the Rui Royal Residence was. If the rumours were true and Prince Rui was indeed violent, she feared that once she stepped in, she may lose her freedom completely and even lose her current lifestyle.
