Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Yun family made to cry by Wei Qingwan_1

Wei Ruo was standing off to the side, feeling that her position was somewhat inappropriate.

But at this moment, Madame Yun was in the throes of a headache, and it was not suitable for Wei Ruo to interrupt, so she simply sat down on a chair nearby.

The fact that the Bai family was willing to lend Wei Qingwan silver wasn’t surprising, as lending money to Wei Qingwan was an investment for the Bai family. There would be ample opportunities in the future for repayment.

What surprised Wei Ruo was that Wei Qingwan would actually want to borrow the silver to purchase her expensive ointment.

That was two-thousand taels of silver! That could purchase two-thousand acres of land in Taizhou prefecture!

It seemed that Wei Qingwan’s obsession with her back injury was deeper than she had thought, so much so that it could be described as a fixation.

This indirectly reflected Wei Qingwan’s fear of falling out of favor after marrying into the King Yu Residence, and her genuine desire to compete for attention.

Once proclaiming the supremacy of love, but now only thinking of how to win favor, Wei Ruo found the change amusing, though she didn’t know what caused it.

In response to Wei Qingwan’s query, Madame Yun felt an unbearable headache. She didn’t know how to explain the situation to her daughter.

“Wanwan, I understand your feelings and your desire to heal the scar on your back, but you need to be rational. Two-thousand taels of silver is excessive. We can consult with other doctors in the Capital City. Perhaps there are other ways to heal your scar,” Madame Yun advised.

“Mother, I’ve tried many ways and none are better. I’ve made up my mind, whether you agree or not, I’ll proceed on my own,” Wei Qingwan said with determination.

Looking at Wei Qingwan in disbelief, Madame Yun asked, “Are you defying me?”

“I’m not defying you, Mother. It’s you who refuse to consider my wishes.”

With tear-rimmed eyes, Wei Qingwan glanced resentfully at Wei Ruo, who was quietly observing from nearby.

“I know that in your heart, Mother, Ruoruo is your real daughter, and I am just your adopted daughter.”

Taken aback by the sudden reference, Wei Ruo remained silent, just looking at Wei Qingwan.

“What are you talking about?” Madame Yun’s head throbbed painfully, her vision blurring.

“Did I get it wrong, Mother? The preparations for the dowries you gave to Ruoruo and me were different. The deeds to the house and land you gave sister were far better than those you gave me. Did my mother think I was ignorant? My Second Aunt told me about the value of the properties you own in the Capital City long ago, so I know the difference,” Wei Qingwan confronted.

“You…You’re wrong,” Madame Yun’s chest heaved with exertion.

“Where did I err, Mother? The dowry you prepared for Ruoruo is indeed more expensive than the one you prepared for me. As your adopted daughter, I don’t resent you for that. I am already grateful for the care you gave me and I didn’t expect to be treated equally as Ruoruo.”

“But you not only deceived me, telling me that you treat us both equally and prepared the same dowry for us, you also wanted to stop Second Aunt from helping me. I don’t understand why, Mother. Even though I’m not your real daughter, don’t you care about my future at all? Does our mother-daughter relationship of so many years amount to nothing?”

“You…You’re talking nonsense!” Madame Yun’s vision turned black, as though cloaked by dark clouds.

Wei Qingwan continued, “No matter what you say, Mother, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll leave you to rest.”

Wei Qingwan finished speaking, left without waiting for Madame Yun’s response.
