Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Big Brother’s Attitude_1
She had long suspected that Wei Qingruo would continue trying to force her to leave the residence, but she did not expect Wei Qingruo to be so shameless, acting as if she were truly the head of the Wei Family.
Their father had just been promoted only for her to stir up trouble! Her heart was full of malice!
“Let’s give it a try then,” Wei Ruo said, and then nodded to Xiumei.
Then Xiumei began to forcibly drag Wei Qingwan and Cuihe out.
Wei Qingwan wasn’t as strong as Xiumei, her face turning red with exertion.
“Help, help!” Cuihe cried out.
The servants in the house turned their heads at her cries, but none came forward to help.
Who didn’t know that in the Wei Residence, the eldest Miss dared to challenge even the Madam directly, so what did the second Miss count for? They wouldn’t dare to offend their Miss.
Although the servants did not dare to intervene, one of them went to report the situation in the Cangyun Garden to Lady Yun.
Just as Wei Qingwan was about to be dragged out of the back door, Lady Yun arrived with several others.
“Ruoruo, what are you doing?” Lady Yun walked up angrily, her face rigid.
After getting closer, she noticed the red scratches on Wei Qingwan’s white and tender arm which gave her a heartache.
Wei Ruo replied calmly, as expected: “I’m asking my younger sister to return to the villa for some rest.”
“Is this your way of asking? What kind of mindset is this? Your father has just been promoted to General of Military Virtue. As his daughters, how can you act so crudely and recklessly? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?”
“Mother, rest assured, the carriage is at the back door. Once she leaves the house, she will be in the carriage. There is no one outside who could see. As for those in the residence, we trust them. Even if there were one or two untrustworthy ones, they already know all the family’s scandals. This one is nothing new.”
Wei Ruo’s reply was calm and free of any loopholes.
“Don’t diverge, you’re all sisters of the same family. How can you treat Wanwan like this? What is your ulterior motive?” Lady Yun confronted her.
“Mother, why ask me when you already know? My younger sister should have been staying at the villa. She only came back because of the funeral. Now that the funeral is over, it’s only right to send her back. Or do you imply that the punishment originally meant for her should end just because of the funeral?” Wei Ruo retorted.
Wei Qingruo’s question exposed Lady Yun and Wei Qingwan’s intentions.
They had actually planned to make use of this occasion to brush Wei Qingwan’s punishment under the rug.
Lady Yun continued to argue: “Your second brother’s soul has not yet moved on, what’s the rush?”
“Then on the day of the seventh day of mourning, we can have sister come back. After all, it’s not too far away. There are still the fifteenth and thirty-fifth days of mourning to observe. We can’t keep sister at home for this special few days, letting the original punishment become void. Now that our father has been appointed as the Guard Commander and honored as the General of Military Virtue, the Military Prefecture has been changed to the General Residence. We should maintain the family rules more meticulously. Only with strict family discipline, can we pave a longer future.”
Wei Ruo responded, every word was well-grounded. Lady Yun and Wei Qingwan could find no fault in her words, even if their eyes were about to pop out.
“I’m not arguing with you about this, the house is not under your control yet!” Lady Yun rebuked angrily, “Let go! I will decide when to send Wanwan back to the villa.”
Lady Yun then glared harshly at Xiumei.
Xiumei didn’t let go. She didn’t take orders from Lady Yun.
“What do you mean? Does my word carry no weight in this house?” Lady Yun’s face turned even colder, and then she turned to her people, “Pull her off!”
But before the servants could step forward, Wei Ruo signaled Xiumei to let go of Wei Qingwan.
