Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Don’t you know we are going to the wasteland today? 1

Madam Yun glanced at Wei Qingwan then at Wei Ruo, saying, “Alright, alright.

Since we’re all family and have the same intentions, let’s forget about those little misunderstandings. Qingwan, stay with Ruoruo today and learn from her.”

Madam Yun was pleased that her eldest daughter understood the bigger picture.

Just as her elder daughter said, even though they had some conflicts at home they represented the Wei Family outside. As long as her eldest daughter kept ’ this in mind, it would be good.

“Let’s go then, I’m running on a tight schedule,” Wei Ruo winked and smiled, then left the house.

Wei Qingwan bit her lip, then followed her out.

They continued to ride in Wei Ruo’s carriage just like the day before, with Wei Ruo leaning against the cushion and taking a nap.

The carriage rode on for a good while without stopping. Wei Qingwan was puzzled, considering the time, they should have arrived at the government office by now.

Wei Qingwan carefully lifted the edge of the carriage curtain and looked outside.

Instead of the bustling street, she saw a deserted suburb.

Wei Qingwan hurriedly asked Wei Ruo, “What’s going on? Where are we going?” Wei Ruo slowly opened one eye and replied lazily, “Don’t you know?” “You never told me, how would I know?”

“I asked our mother before leaving if she really understood what we were doing. She said she knew.”

Wei Ruo’s voice was lazy, and the only eye she opened was half-closed. It couldn’t be more laid-back.

“Where are you taking me?” Wei Qingwan asked again.

“To a land to be reclaimed. You didn’t think my job was just to sit in the government office every day, count things, and give orders, did you?” Wei Ruo chuckled softly.

“You…” Wei Qingwan was momentarily speechless and didn’t know how to rebut Wei Ruo.

Then she noticed that Wei Ruo’s clothes were a neat linen suit. That’s when it hit Wei Qingwan. Wei Ruo had planned the day’s itinerary early in the morning, but deliberately didn’t tell her before they left!

“Save your energy. The place we’re going isn’t easy to navigate and will need physical strength,” Wei Ruo added, then closed her eyes again and resumed resting.

“The place we’re reclaiming is a gathering spot for refugees. Aren’t you worried about not having enough people with us?” Wei Qingwan was incredibly anxious.

If she had known that was Wei Ruo’s plan for the day, she would have reconsidered coming along.

Wei Ruo didn’t answer, too lazy to explain much.

She had guards following, arranged by Lady Yuan for her. But to save time, Wei Ruo had sent those guards straight to their destination to wait for her.

Wei Ruo’s reaction left Wei Qingwan feeling both angry and helpless. As the carnage gradually moved away from the populous area towards the desolate wilderness, her heart rose with apprehension.

The reclaimed lands were uninhabited and were even more desolate and isolated than the average suburban village.

She would never go to such a place in her everyday life, and she wasn’t sure if it would be dangerous.

The journey took half a day. By noon, feeling a bit hungry, Wei Ruo pulled out dried sweet potatoes and tea from the box beside her, savoring them leisurely.

She also generously offered Wei Qingwan two pieces of dried sweet potato.

Wei Qingwan glanced at the dry sweet potatoes and turned her head away without taking them.

She was too filled with resentment towards Wei Ruo at the moment to eat anything Wei Ruo gave her, especially something as unappealing as dried sweet potatoes.
