Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Doesn’t Affect Me_l

“Miss, young master Qi still hasn’t replied,” said Granny Li, stating the fact.

“Could this be because our residence has been heavily guarded recently and no outside news can come in?” asked Wei Qingwan.

“It seems to be the case. Even for young master Qi, he has to be extra cautious when acting in Taizhou prefecture. With the current situation in the house, indeed, no news can come in. But don’t worry, miss. I’ve been sending Cuihe to the place you mentioned every day. If there’s any news, I’ll report to you as soon as possible.”

“He will come find me, he will definitely come find me,” murmured Wei Qingwan.

Thinking about Qi Zhen, Wei Qingwan was reminded of her own back. She wouldn’t let the brutal scar stay on her back.

“Granny Li, please help me inquire about any medicine that can eliminate scars these days. I am willing to pay however much,” Wei Qingwan said.

“Rest assured, Miss. I’ll have people investigate thoroughly,” Granny Li promised.

After comforting Wei Qingwan, Granny Li left the room.

As soon as she stepped outside the room, Granny Li’s face turned grave.

There was another thing she hasn’t mentioned to her lady: the rumors circulating outside.

With the spread of rumors, it was uncertain whether or not they would influence young master Qi’s consideration.

Even if the person whom the Miss has been secretly meeting is young master Qi, the Qi Family might not ignore the Miss’s situation.

Granny Li hoped that Wei Qingwan could marry into the Qi Family since, most likely, she and her daughter Cuihe would accompany Wei Qingwan as dowry maids. Whether Wei Qingwan’s marriage was good or not directly affected their future.

However, for now, she needed to make sure Wei Qingwan healed from her injuries peacefully. Other matters could be planned later.

Wei Ruo had started running the prefecture’s office again in the past few days. After being delayed for three days in the provincial city and another two upon her return, she hadn’t been taking charge of the disaster relief work for five to six days now.

Though everything was back on track now, Wei Ruo couldn’t always relinquish her responsibilities. She still had to make decisions on matters during different stages.

Once Wei Ruo arrived at Xianqiuge, she started busying herself. Everything went smoothly, except for the slight difference in the way some people looked at her. Concerned glances were passed occasionally.

After settling a few things, Wei Ruo sat down and took a sip of water. Granny Qin came to her side, seeming to have something to say.

“Do you have something to say, Granny Qin?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Miss, don’t worry. Although the incident has some impact on you, you are wise and virtuous. After the success of the land reclamation, there will definitely be nobles who will propose marriages at the Wei family.”

“So, is that what you wanted to talk about, Granny Qin? Don’t worry, I wasn’t affected by it,” said Wei Ruo in a light tone.

Since it was the result she wanted, she was more than happy to have it.

However, the current rumors outside weren’t spread by her. She initially planned to spend some silver to have people promote it in taverns and tea houses, but before she could make a move, someone else had already done it.

Up to this point, she still hadn’t figured out who that person was. They seemed to have acted in concert without prior arrangement.

“It’s best that you can stay optimistic about this,” Granny Qin said, seeing Wei Ruo’s smile, which didn’t seem forced, so she was quite reassured.

Then, Madam Yuan came. As soon as she entered, she took Wei Ruo to the next room.

Madam Yuan took Wei Ruo’s hand and sat on the imperial concubine’s bed. In a soft tone, she said, “Ruoruo, don’t feel bad. It’s all your sister’s fault. It has nothing to do with you!”

“I’m fine,” Wei Ruo said, smiling softly.
