Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Trying to Please Father_1
“Indeed, my relationship with Master Qi did breach conventional ethics, but we genuinely love each other. What’s wrong with that? Because it was inappropriate, have I been condemned as a wicked criminal?” Wei Qingwan retorted.
“Perhaps that’s the only thing about you that has not changed,” Wei Ruo laughed lightly.
Whether it’s the Wei Qingwan from the original story, or the Wei Qingwan standing before her now, her love-trumps-all mentality has stayed the same.
However, in the original story, she was in a position to be a kind person, so her genuine love was rare and precious. But now hearing her openly proclaiming her devotion to true love only makes Wei Ruo nauseous.
Wei Qingwan continued her rebuttal, “I admit I was wrong about the situation with elder brother, but I’ve never encountered such a thing before, I panicked and didn’t know what to do, it was not intentional. And I’ve paid the price for it. Even mother has forgiven me now; it is you who will not let me return to the household. Sister, you want me to be shamed, to not be able to return home, to be cast out; you claim it’s punishment when it’s really just satisfying your own selfish desires.”
“So, your logic is if you admit your mistakes, if you’ve paid the price, if others do not forgive you, then they must be deliberately against you, malicious beyond redemption, looking to harm you?” Wei Ruo posed.
“So what do you want from me, sister? Must I atone for my sins for the rest of my life? Don’t I get another chance to make amends and repent? Is this the punishment that I am supposed to receive or is it just for your selfish reasons, to oust me out of the household so that you can become the only Miss of Wei family?” Wei Qingwan retorted to Wei Ruo.
“You really want to have your cake and eat it too,” Wei Ruo commented.
“What are you talking about?” Wei Qingwan didn’t understand Wei Ruo’s statement.
“Nevermind. It’s just that I’m wasting my breath and time again. Indeed, one shouldn’t try to communicate with beasts. They have their own language system and can’t understand humans,”
Having said that, Wei Ruo pushed away Cuihe, and then forcefully closed the courtyard door, leaving Wei Qingwan and her maid, Cuihe, outside.
“Phew, what a relief,” Wei Ruo dusted her hands off in disgust.
“If my hands hadn’t been full, I would’ve done something,” Xiumei grumbled.
“Don’t bother with them,” Wei Ruo didn’t want her mood ruined by Wei Qingwan today.
Her second brother wasn’t dead, the mock funeral was over, and she had to get back to her own business.
Fan Chengxu’s Zuixian Residence was also opening up in the provincial city, which was a good thing for her. With their partnership, she could more easily establish herself in the provincial city.
Cuihe, who was push aside by Wei Ruo outside the door, stared in disbelief at the now shut Tingsong Garden gate.
“Miss, did she just insult us directly?”
The term “beast” was clearly meant for her mistress, and she even foisted Cuihe aside. This vulgarity was unexpected for Cuihe.
“She doesn’t even bother pretending anymore, resorting to blatant rudeness,” Wei Qingwan stated coldly.
“Miss, what shall we do now?” Cuihe asked.
“Let’s go, to see father,”
Wei Qingwan was planning to find Wei Mingting originally. She passed by Tingsong Garden and saw Xiaonan, which led her to come over to find out more and potentially rebuke Wei Ruo with a few words.
Wei Qingwan then came to the study in the front yard. After knocking on the door, she entered the study.
Wei Mingting, who was bending over his desk, looked up and asked, “Wanwan, what brings you here?”
Wei Qingwan bowed her body and took the food box from Cuihe. She walked up to the desk and put it down.
