Chapter 233 My mother fancies your sister 1

Mmm.” Wei Ruo had already recognized it when she was at the Xiu’s courtyard.

Madam Tongzhi spoke again, “From a young age, Fengyuan has always been a child who worries me less, whether it’s studying or doing other things, he doesn’t require much concern from me, unlike his restless sister.”

Wei Ruo responded with a smile, the words of Madam Tongzhi making her somewhat unsure of how to handle them.

Even if she weren’t the sharpest person, she ought to feel the message that Madam Tongzhi intended to convey.

Wei Qingwan, on the side, bit her lip secretly. The attitude of Madam Tongzhi towards Wei Ruo further confirmed what Xiu Yaojun had said.

Madam Tongzhi fancied Wei Qingruo and wanted her to become the daughter- in-law of the Xiu Family!

The Xiu Family is a prominent family of Taizhou Prefecture, and Xiu Fengyuan is dignified and also a fellow student with his elder brother at the Anzhou Academy. He is even participating in the provincial examination this autumn, promising limitless future prospects.

Wei Qingruo was raised by a merchant family and has grown up with a crude way of living, yet she still finds such good fortune. This caused Wei Qingwan to feel somewhat displeased.

From a distance, Xiu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and other students from the Anzhou Academy are engaged in a contest with Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong was the first to go up, each arrow hitting its target, looking imposing, eliciting praises from the other students.

These praises were sincere and did not merely offer flattery for Lu Yuhong’s status.     6

Lu Yuhong s horse archery skills are rarely matched even in the Capital City not just among them.

With Lu Yuhong outstandingly leading the way, the performances of the others seemed much less impressive.

However, Xiu Fengyuan stood out from the crowd, and with a score that nearly matched Lu Yuhong’s, he won the applause of everyone present.

Horse archery is a weak point for Wei Yichen, he has always performed poorly in this field, hence his performance today was mediocre.

Lu Yuhong, looking at Wei Yichen who has returned on a horse, said, “Your ancestors from the Wei Family are renowned founding generals, and your father is also a military general who has fought invasions on all fronts. But how do you not inherit any of the military bloodline?”

Wei Yichen responded with some shame, “I am dull and have not been able to inherit the horse archery skills of my father and ancestors.”

“What a pity.” Lu Yuhong, being straightforward, said what he thought without considering how others might feel hearing his words.

Wei Yichen accepted Lu Yuhong’s evaluation honestly, “Yes, it’s a bit of pity. When I was young, my father used to say the same.”

But things have improved now, as little brother Yilin has recently shown promising martial arts talent and interest, and might possibly become the one to carry on their father’s legacy if nurtured well.

After the contest ended and everyone took a little rest, Wei Yichen looked towards the pavilion in the distance and sought the figures of his mother and sisters among the crowd.

He saw his mother engaged in a casual chat with other Madams, and sister Wanwan was also having a conversation with the ladies her age from prominent families, whereas Ruoruo was sitting in a corner lost in her own thoughts.

Xiu Fengyuan approached and said to Wei Yichen, “Brother Wei, are you looking at your two sisters?”

Wei Yichen nodded in assent.

‘I heard that the oldest Miss Wei was raised in the countryside due to her weak health?” Xiu Fengyuan asked further.

“Mmm.” Wei Yichen nodded and then added, “Although my elder sister was raised in the countryside since her childhood, she is as knowledgeable and well-mannered as my younger sister.”
