Wei Qingwan asked Mrs. Yun, “Mother, should we go out and take a look now?” Wei Ruo gave Wei Qingwan a stern look: “It sounds like thieves have broken in and are fighting with the people in the house. What do you plan to do by going out now? Don’t add to the chaos.”

Knowing something was not right, Wei Ruo was even less inclined to go outside and check what was happening.

If someone was indeed fighting and killing, it would be inappropriate for her to

go there.

Wei Ruo’s stopping of Wei Qingwan from going out was not due to concerns for Wei Qingwan’s safety, but her worry that Wei Qingwan would cause trouble for her.

“Thieves have broken in?” Wei Qingwan’s expression immediately changed, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Although their father was a colonel and they lived very close to the scene of war, Wei Qingwan had never actually been close to bloodshed.

If something really happened outside, Wei Qingwan wouldn’t know how to

react.

Wei Qingwan further queried, “Would we be in danger here?”

From the sound of it, it seemed very close to them.

Wei Ruo picked up her teacup and took a sip with a calm look on her face, then counter-questioned, “Would you be safe if you went out? Or do you plan to hide in a cabinet?”

The maids in the Yuan Residence were standing still in the room while she, a noble lady from the Duke Residence, couldn’t stay mentally stable. What kind of image would that project?

Wei Qingwan said her feelings were hurt, “My sister shouldn’t be angry, I am just concerned about the safety of you and mother.”

“Don’t put on that pitiful face, we’re not at the Wei Residence now. You’re all weepy and clingy at home, which is just about enough, don’t bring shame upon us outside.” Wei Ruo rebuked coldly.

Her words were harsh; she did not fetch Wei Qingwan any face at all.

Wei Qingwan bit her lip, feeling wronged, and then turned her eyes red looking

at Mrs. Yun.

She expected to see Mrs. Yun’s sympathy for her and anger at Wei Qingruo, but all she saw was a stern face, not sympathetic at all, even cold.

“Mother, I didn’t mean to run away and discredit the Military Prefecture. I just wanted to ask if there was any danger.” Wei Qingwan said to Mrs. Yun, looking wronged.

Mrs. Yun advised Wei Qingwan seriously, “Wanwan, watch your manners, do not panic over minor incidents. Keep in mind that you are a young lady of the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, our ancestors were renowned founding generals.”

Wei Qingwan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her from head to toe, her eyelids were spinning with tears, but she didn’t let them fall out.

However, right now, Mrs. Yun had no mood to pay attention to Wei Qingwan s feelings as the continuous sounds coming from outside had her worried.

They could even hear the guards of the Yuan Residence shouting things like -Don’t let them escape” and “Don’t let them hurt the commandery princess”. Thieves indeed had broken in, and they were particularly troublesome ones! But who could be so audacious to cause trouble in the magistrate’s residence in broad daylight?

They didn’t know how long it had been when the noise outside subsided.

After a while, Lady Yuan came back.
