“That’s true, everyone in the Mansion knows the young lady is rich,” Xiumei nodded.
Though they weren’t entirely sure just how rich their young lady was.
“Let’s continue making our drunken seafood and pickled seafood. I’ve been wanting to taste these dishes for a while now,” Wei Ruo shifted her attention back to the food.
“Alright, I’ll go prepare the pickling sauce and chop some onions, ginger, and garlic.”
The two of them continued with their tasks.

The next morning, after Wei Yichen met up with Xiu Fengyuan, Fengyuan had a strange look on his face, as if he had something to say to Wei Yichen but hesitated to speak up.
“If Brother Xiu has something to say, please feel free,” Wei Yichen took the initiative.
After some thought, Xiu Fengyuan said, “Brother Wei, my grandfather spoke to me yesterday. He wants to see me settled down soon.”
Ever since the old Master Xiu had a fall, he’d been worried about his grandson’s marriage.
He feared his old bones wouldn’t last long enough to see his granddaughterin-law enter the family.
Though everyone tried to reassure him that he would live a long life, the old man was still set on seeing his eldest grandson get married.
Wei Yichen looked at Xiu Fengyuan. The last time they spoke, Fengyuan had mentioned his mother, Madam Xiu, was interested in his elder sister. Hence, even though Fengyuan didn’t specify this time, Wei Yichen had an inkling of it.
“Then I can only offer my early congratulations to Brother Xiu,” Wei Yichen said.
“Brother Wei, as you know, my mother has taken a liking to your elder sister.”
“Yes.” Wei Yichen indeed knew, but after discussing it with his mother last time, he realized he had not much say in this matter if both sets of parents agreed.
“I wonder what impression Miss Wei has of me.” Fengyuan blushed at his question, looking somewhat bashful.
“I’m not too sure,” Wei Yichen could only say. Lately, his sister Ruoruo rarely spoke to him, let alone discussed her impression of Brother Xiu.
“Brother Wei, you can speak frankly. There’s no need to hide anything from me.” Xiu Fengyuan looked worried. He feared he had made a bad impression on Wei Ruo, that’s why Brother Wei didn’t want to say much.
“Brother Xiu, I’ve been spending most of my days in the academy recently, and I rarely go home. I hardly spend any time with my elder sister, so I really don’t know.”
“That makes sense,” Fengyuan nodded, then broke into a smile, “I hadn’t thought about that.”

After Wei Ruo returned from the Tianqin Garden, she was called to the Cangyun Garden by Cuiping.
“Miss, Madam has something important to discuss with you today.”
