Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Wei Yichen’s Persuasion^

Translator: 549690339 |

While Wei Ruo was running in the outdoors, Wei Qingwan was learning how to manage house affairs from Madame Yun.

Madame Yun was well aware that Wei Ruo was running around outdoors, she did not ask her where she was going, nor did she restrict Ruo’s movements because she didn’t want to give it any further thought.

She wanted the best for her eldest daughter, thinking about her reputation and future prospects, but the eldest daughter didn’t appreciate her efforts and

defied her at every turn.

Instead of wasting her energy on her eldest daughter, Madame Yun believed she would better off teaching Qingwan, so that when Qingwan came of age the following year, she could find her a good match.

On the twenty-fourth day of the last lunar month, it was the Little New Year’s eve for the people of Taizhou Prefecture.

Wei Mingting didn’t return to the Wei Residence, but Wei Yichen did. When Wei Yichen returned, only Madame Yun and Wei Qingwan were home.

Wei Ruo was still out as usual, Yilin’s martial arts class was cancelled, but for him, who was addicted to martial arts, he would still go to the master’s place in the morning to practice and ask for guidance.

Upon seeing Wei Yichen, Madame Yun was overjoyed and simultaneously heartbroken, “Yichen, you’ve lost weight, you must have had a tough time.

Wei Yichen looked at Madame Yun, concern evident in his eyes, “Mother, I’m not tired, I haven’t lost weight. Life at the academy is fulfilling, everyday I learn a lot of things. But mother, you’ve lost a lot of weight these days.”

“I’m not so hard done by as long as you all are okay. My little bit of pain doesn’t count for much. It’s your father who’s really suffering, he’s barely resting these days, I’m truly worried his body can’t handle it.”

Mentioning her husband, Madame Yun is filled with worry.

“Mother, don’t worry about father. He has always been in robust good health. Moreover, the Japanese pirates have been relatively quiet these days, without initiating any conflicts, so father should have sufficient time to rest properly,

Wei Yichen reassured her.

“Hmm…” Madame Yun didn’t want to discuss these matters with her children.

“Big Brother!” Wei Qingwan stepped forward, her emotions apparent and tears shimmering in her eyes.

“Qingwan,” Wei Yichen tenderly looked at Wei Qingwan.

-Big Brother, you’ve worked hard,” Wei Qingwan expressed her concern.

“I’m okay, how have you been lately?” Wei Yichen returned the concern.

“I’m fine, thank you for asking, Big Brother.”

“How about Ruoruo?” Wei Yichen asked.

Hearing Wei Yichen’s inquiry about Wei Ruo, Madame Yun’s face darkened slightly, “She’s out and about again. She’s become even more willful since our arrival in the government city, running around whenever she isn’t attending class. We don’t even know where she goes every day. It was understandable when we were in Xingshan County since she was busy with the affairs of the southern city, but now, what could she possibly have to take care of?

Wei Yichen speculated, “Perhaps Big Sister is helping the farmers with farming again, she loves doing that.”

“Even so, it’s inappropriate,” Madame Yun replied.

Wei Yichen defended Wei Ruo, “The grain yield has been poor throughout the country this year. Big Sister knows how to yield more crops from the lands, and she can save a lot of people.”

“Let her be,” Madame Yun sounded rather uninterested in discussing her eldest daughter any further.
