Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Confrontation with Father_1

Without knocking or asking for permission, Wei Ruo burst directly into Wangmei Garden.

The old maid, Li, who had intended to stop her, was thrown aside by Xiumei. “Miss, what on earth are you doing?” Li fumed, her nose nearly skewed in anger.

Wei Ruo ignored her and proceeded directly towards where Wei Qingwan resided.

Wei Qingwan had been sleepless all night and was currently seated listlessly in front of her dressing table, contemplating the day’s happenings.

Wei Ruo’s intrusion was unexpected; she rose to her feet in surprise. “Sister… Sister, what are you doing?” she asked.

“Come with me to see Father,” Wei Ruo requested.

“When Father returns, I will pay my respects. It seems inappropriate for you to barge into my Wangmei Garden like this,” Wei Qingwan challenged.

Whether it’s appropriate or not, we can discuss that later,” Wei Ruo replied, making a signal to Xiumei.

Immediately following, Xiumei stepped forward, grabbed Wei Qingwan and attempted to lead her away.

Wei Qingwan tried to break free but, just like the night before, she had no chance of resisting Xiumei.

The maid, Li, rushed in to intervene but was stopped by Wei Ruo.

“Miss, you can’t be so excessive! You barged into Wangmei Garden first thing in the morning causing a commotion, and even had your maid assault the second miss. You’ve gone too far! I’m going to tell the Madam and have her decide!” Li accused Wei Ruo angrily.

No need for that, I’m taking Wei Qingwan to see our parents right now!”

Wei Ruo pushed Li aside.

“Aiyo—”

Li tumbled to the ground, her face, already full of wrinkles, crinkled even more from the pain.

While she was struggling, Wei Ruo and Xiumei had already taken Wei Qingwan away.

Li got up angrily and ran out in haste.

Meanwhile, in Cangyun Garden.

Wei Mingting and Lady Yun had woken up early. After sending for a doctor, Lady Yun had stayed by Wei Yichen’s side and had not returned yet.

Wei Mingting had visited Wei Yichen, then returned to Cangyun Garden to discuss some matters with the military officers who had rushed over for consultation.

Many things were going on in the army recently, with indications of the Japanese Pirates attacking again. Therefore, he couldn’t spare much time, which was also why he had returned late last night.

When Wei Ruo brought Wei Qingwan to Cangyun Garden, the military officers had just left.

Upon seeing Wei Ruo arriving with Wei Qingwan, Wei Mingting seemed surprised as well.

Ruoruo, what’s going on?” Wei Mingting asked with confusion.

“There’s something I wanted to discuss with Father. It is regarding eldest brother’s disappearance,” Wei Ruo replied.

“I intended to talk about this matter with you as well. I have many details to ask you. But why are you treating Wanwan like this?” Wei Mingting asked.

Tears were already streaming down the rouged face of Wei Qingwan who was dragged in forcibly. Looking at Wei Mingting with watery eyes, she seemed wronged.

She bit her lip, not uttering a word, but looked more pitiful than if she had spoken a thousand words.

“Because the issue of eldest brother being caught has a huge connection with our second sister. It can be said that ‘without her contribution’, eldest brother would not find himself in such a plight,” Wei Ruo watched Wei Qingwan’s innocent expressions coldly.

A tremor ran through Wei Qingwan’s heart. What did Wei Ruo mean by this?

Did she already know what had happened?
