The colour of Madam Yun’s face hardened even more, her incredulous and furious gaze fixed on Wei Ruo.
“How dare you say such words to your own mother! You think by using Madam Yuan to intimidate me, I would be powerless? It doesn’t matter even if it were Madam Yuan or anyone else, a mother has the right to discipline her
daughter!”
-You may execute your rights, and I will do my things. I don’t necessarily have to report your beatings, I have plenty of other things to do! If you’re not afraid of losing face, if you’re not afraid of causing the Wei family to struggle in Government City, then go ahead and hit me!”
After completing her declaration, Wei Ruo suddenly loosened her grip, tilting her face upwards, and glaring at Madam Yun defiantly.
Madam Yun’s hand lingered in mid-air; her rage prompting her to strike down, but Wei Ruo’s confrontational gaze somehow made her pause.
At that moment, Jing Hu entered abruptly, “Madam, a message from the military camp arrived, the colonel is coming home for dinner tonight.” Hearing that her husband was returning, Madam Yun calmed down and after a moment’s hesitation, she lowered her upraised hand.
The impending slap never landed.
Then, she coldly ordered as she looked at Wei Ruo, “Get out. Don’t leave the
house for the next few days!”
Without another look, Wei Ruo turned and left.
After Wei Ruo’s departure, Madam Yun glanced at Jing Hu standing beside her
and gestured dismissively, “You may go now.”
After Jing Hu left, Madam Yun called for Cuiping and ordered her to prepare more dishes for the evening.
Just as Cuiping left to relay the instructions to the kitchen, Wei Qingwan arrived.
“Mother, what happened? I heard from the nanny that you had an argument with sister.” Like Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan had been off duty that day.
She was well-informed. Not long after the argument between Wei Ruo and
Madam Yun begun, she received the news and rushed over.
However, she arrived slightly too late, as the argument had been interrupted by Jing Hu’s announcement of their father’s impending return.
Looking at Wei Qingwan’s concerned and worried gaze, Madam Yun couldn t help but sigh, “If only she were as thoughtful as you are, I wouldn’t have lost my temper.”
Wei Qingwan sat next to Madam Yun and held her hand, “Mother, don’t overthink it. Sister hasn’t been home for a while and it’s understandable that her relationship with you has cooled. It will improve with time.”
“You’re always defending her, yet she doesn’t consider this household or you, her younger sister, at all.” Madam Yun couldn’t help but sigh.
“Mother, what exactly happened?” Wei Qingwan only heard about the argument and nearly violent altercation, but she didn’t know the cause of their dispute.
“Old Madame Xiu came today and asked Ruo for two jars of her home-made loquat syrup, she accepted twenty taels of silver from Old Madame Xiu.” Madam Yun finished her sentence with a sigh.
