“I’ve been back to the mansion since this morning and haven’t seen you around. Qianwan has been waiting by the bed this entire time, and Wanwan’s maid says that she hasn’t slept for many nights!” Wei Yichen stated.

“Who told you that I wasn’t serving our father? Was it Wei Qingwan? Was it mother? Or someone else?” Wei Ruo questioned.

“What are you trying to say?” Wei Yichen furrowed his brow.

“Did Wei Qingwan tell you that she’s been serving our father all these days?”

Wei Ruo sarcastically retorted.

“Don’t defame Qianwan, she never said anything of the sort. Upon returning home, your whereabouts remained unknown to me, and Qianwan has been rushing about from dawn till dusk. 1 asked her about you, and she said you might not be feeling well and are resting in the garden. She hasn’t negatively spoken about you, even tried to cover up for you!”

The conclusion that Wei Ruo didn’t serve at father’s bedside was deduced by Wei Yichen himself. Although Wei Qingwan didn’t explicitly say it, seeing her trying to cover up for Wei Ruo, he made an educated guess.

-Is that what she said? I should ask her for myself.” Wei Ruo finished speaking and headed swiftly towards Cangyun Garden.

Wei Yichen paused for a moment, then quickly followed.

“What are you intending to do?” Wei Yichen chased after Wei Ruo, asking her.

“I need to justify my standing, and moreover, I can’t take this slap without a good reason!” Wei Ruo stopped in her tracks, cold and determined as she responded to Wei Yichen’s words.

Wei Yichen was slightly startled by Wei Ruo’s assertiveness, but on second thought, he hadn’t done anything wrong. If their eldest sister neglected her parents in this way, the consequences would be dire if left uncorrected.

Wei Ruo quickly entered Wei Mingting’s room, where Lady Yun and Wei Qingwan were present.

Seeing Wei Ruo rushing in, everyone in the room looked at her curiously.

“Ruoruo, what are you doing? Your father is resting, your movements should be gentle, don’t be so hasty.” Lady Yun scolded softly.

Wei Ruo did not respond, and instead fixated her gaze on Wei Mingting who was lying on the sickbed and apologized: “I am sorry, father. You are not fully recovered and I shouldn’t have disturbed your rest. But I was slapped as soon as I returned home today and I felt I was falsely accused. I want to justify

myself.”

Hearing her words, Wei Mingting frowned and Lady Yun’s facial expressions also changed.

Everyone looked at Wei Ruo’s cheek where the outline of a handprint was starting to appear, indicating that the slap she received wasn’t light.

Lady Yun quickly responded, “No matter who slapped you, don’t discuss it in front of your ailing father. Let’s go somewhere else. I, your mother, can seek justice for you.”

Although she was unaware of why her daughter had been slapped, Lady Yun did not want her daughter’s matter to affect her husband s rest.

“That’s not necessary. I am fully aware of father’s condition. A bit of ruckus won’t worsen his illness.” Wei Ruo refused to change location.

Wei Ruo knew Wei Mingting’s condition better than anyone else. A bit of commotion would not aggravate his illness further.

“Ruoruo, you speak.” Wei Mingting spoke. He was feeling much better compared to yesterday and was able to speak a lot more easily.

Seeing Wei Ruo in such a state, as a father, Wei Mingting wanted to know what was going on.
