Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Zhao Family Brothers Visit_1
“At this point, how can it be your sole responsibility? Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. Whether or not I can persuade your sister, I will help you buy the salve so you can marry the sixth prince without worries.” Lady Yun said.
“Mother…” Wei Qingwan’s eyes were slightly red, “Mother, you are so good to me, I…I don’t know how to repay your kindness…”
“Silly child, why are you talking about repayment?” Lady Yun gently patted Wei Qingwan’s hand and comforted her, “In any case, don’t worry about this matter, I will handle it for you.”
“Thank you, Mother…” Wei Qingwan bit her lip, holding back her tears.
“Silly child, why are you crying.” Lady Yun reached out and wiped away Wei Qingwan’s tears.
“Mother is too kind to me, I don’t know what to do…”
“Well, there is no need to cry. You’re now the bride-to-be, you should be happy and delighted.”
Wei Qingwan nodded heavily.

When Wei Qingwan left Lady Yun, her face remained grim.
“Miss, don’t worry, Madam has already promised you, all you need to do is wait for the good news.” Cuihe tried to comfort her.
“No, I still can’t fully relax. Although Mother is willing to help me, she might not have the ability to do so. I need to have a backup plan.” Wei Qingwan said with a firm tone.
“What else does Miss plan to do?” Cuihe asked.
“I want to see my second uncle.”
Wei Qingwan decided to seek help from Wei Mingyong.
“Does Miss think that the second master can help?”
“His joy about me becoming the sixth prince’s concubine is incomparable. If he makes some effort at this time, he will have more reasons to benefit from me in the future.” Wei Qingwan said.
“Miss is right.”
Because she could not meet Wei Mingyong privately, after learning about his whereabouts, Wei Qingwan “coincidentally” ran into him in the corridor between the front and back courtyards.
“Second Uncle.”
“Wanwan, are you going to the front yard? Your eldest brother is not there, he went out with his classmates.” Wei Mingyong said.
“I’m not looking for my big brother, but I have some words for you.”
Hearing this, Wei Mingyong was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face. “What do you want to say, Wanwan?”
“I want to borrow some silver taels from you.” Wei Qingwan stated.
Hearing that it was about borrowing money, the smile on Wei Mingyong’s face faded slightly, “How much silver taels do you want to borrow, Wanwan?”
“Three hundred taels.”
“What do you need so much money for?” Wei Mingyong asked.
Wei Qingwan briefly described her situation after being punished by the family rule, which left her with scars. Being punished by the family rule was no secret in Wei’s family, so she saw no problem in sharing this with Wei Mingyong.
After listening to Wei Qingwan’s description, Wei Mingyong snorted angrily, “My third brother is really short-sighted! How could he treat you like this?”
Wei Qingwan bowed her head: “It’s my fault. I did something wrong and made my father angry. I can’t blame him, nor can I blame my sister for sending me to father for punishment.”
“I think it should be blamed on your sister!” Wei Mingyong’s eyes flashed cold.
“She… she has her own considerations.”
“What consideration could she have? She is a narrow-minded girl from the countryside with limited insight. I think she can’t stand to see you doing well!”
Wei Mingyong’s impression of Wei Ruo was already bad, and it got much worse at this point.
Wei Qingwan gave a bitter smile and then shifted the topic back to the main issue: “So, Second Uncle, are you willing to lend me those three hundred taels?”
