Daughter Are Indeed Alike_l

Aunt Qin could hear the excuses in Wei Ruo’s words. If the Wei family’s eldest Miss was truly the way she had just described herself as a girl who follows the rules, then she would not have interfered in Xingshan County’s affairs.

As for attributing it to luck, that was also ridiculous. Most of the orders given by Miss Wei back then were conveyed by her. Whether it was luck or skill, she knew all too well.

However, Aunt Qin also knew that she was here to ask for help on behalf of the seventh prince, not to offend people. That’s why when Wei Ruo showed reluctance repeatedly, Aunt Qin knew it was best not to force her and upset her.

“First Miss, there’s no need to hurry to refuse me. Take some time in these few days to think it over. If you change your mind, send someone to send a message to the seventh prince.” Aunt Qin said.

“Alright, I will consider it.” Wei Ruo verbally agreed.

While Aunt Qin was talking to Wei Ruo in the courtyard, Wei Mingting was also entertaining Chu Lan in the front yard.

Wei Mingting had not been to the military camp for some time due to his injury.

Chu Lan’s visit today was firstly to visit him, and secondly to discuss some recent affairs in the military with him.

After the matters related to the camp were discussed, Chu Lan told Wei Mingting another purpose of his visit – he wanted the eldest Miss of the Wei Family to continue her work on soil improvement.

“I cannot answer this question on behalf of my daughter.” Wei Mingting asserted.

“But still, I hope Lord Wei can help me by mentioning this matter to the eldest

Miss.” Chu Lan said.

“Didn’t your Highness send someone to see my daughter in the backyard? That

Aunt should explain everything clearly to my daughter, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to say more. Moreover, as your Highness knows I am familiar with matters within the military camp but I genuinely don’t understand things beyond it. Since I don’t understand, it isn’t appropriate for me to make the decision on behalf of my daughter.”

Wei Mingting was very firm and had no intention of interfering with any decisions his daughter might make.

Chu Lan did not push further, only mentioning, “Lord Wei, it has been many years since you returned to Capital City. Recently, a Commander’s position in the Capital became vacant.”

Wei Mingting’s expression remained calm: “Indeed, it has been some years since I was last able to return. As a son, I have been unfilial.”

From Wei Mingting’s face, Chu Lan could not deduce whether he truly didn’t understand or if he was pretending not to understand.

Seeing the matter could not be decided, Chu Lan did not persist and said, “Well, let’s leave it at that. I won’t continue to disturb Lord Wei’s rest.”

Wei Mingting got up: “I’m sending off your Highness.

“There is no need. Lord Wei’s old injury hasn’t healed yet. Please take more rest.

The Anti-Japanese Army still needs Lord Wei.”

Having said that, Chu Lan left the Military Prefecture with his own attendant.

Aunt Qin, who came out later, caught up with Chu Lan’s sedan, and relayed the message to Chu Lan separated by the sedan curtain.

“She refused?” Chu Lan asked.

“Yes, Miss Wei politely declined.” Aunt Qin answered truthfully.

“Did you tell her everything that should be said?”

“Yes, I mentioned everything that needed to be highlighted.

“This father and daughter of Wei indeed have similar characteristics.” Separated by the sedan, only hearing his voice but not seeing his face, Aunt Qin was uncertain if his Highness was angry with the father and daughter of the

Wei Family.
