Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Moving to Government City_l

At first, when they had separated, her brother had said that he would think of ways to convince their parents to let him return to her side.

But now he seemed to have forgotten what he said, not mentioning it anymore, and even appearing quite satisfied with the arrangements Wei Ruo had made for him.

Wei Qingwan bit her lip, feeling quite abandoned.

She had feared something like this might happen when Wei Qingruo first returned home, and it turned out that her worries were not unfounded.

At this moment, the gaze of Madam Yun fell on Wei Qingwan. She said to her: “Wanwan, once we move to Government City, you should be more careful with your actions and avoid making mistakes like last time.”

“I understand, Mother…” Wei Qingwan replied softly with her head bowed down.

Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched unconsciously.

Her mother once again reminded her of the past incident, hitting her where it hurt the most.

“If you don’t understand something, you can ask Ruoruo, learn more from her.” Madam Yun added.

There was a time when Wei Ruo had just returned home, and Madam Yun had constantly urged her to learn from Wei Qingwan, asking her to consult Qingwan if she had doubts about anything.

But not much time had passed since then, and their roles were reversed; now it was Wei Qingwan who was to learn from Wei Ruo.

In the past, Madam Yun had believed that in terms of etiquette, conduct, and demeanor of a noble lady, her daughter Wanwan, who grew up by her side, would comprehend better.

But after the last trip to Government City, Madam Yun realised that, although Wanwan was sensible, she was timid, excessively reserved, and lacked confidence when facing nobles like Madam Yuan, unlike her older daughter who showed more poise and grace.

“I understand, Mother. I will make effort to learn from my sister.” Wei Qingwan softly agreed.

She raised her head, looking at Wei Ruo with a soft gaze.

Wei Ruo, with a subtle smile on her lips, did not respond or refute.

“As for the classes for Ruoruo and Wanwan… I haven’t decided what to do yet. If you two have any ideas, you can share them with me.” The gaze of Madam Yun swept over Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan lowered her head and said softly, “Mother, whatever you decide for this matter will be fine with me.”

Wei Qingwan knew that the Wei Family had no roots in Government City, so attending classes at others’ homes would be somewhat difficult.

And the Wei Family did not have the connections to invite a good female teacher either.

Wei Ruoruo replied, “Let’s wait till I visit the Xie Residence tomorrow before deciding. Since I’m about to leave Xingshan County, I should say goodbye to my teacher.”

Compared to the confused Wei Qingwan, Wei Ruo seemed much more calm and composed.

Although the difference was not huge, it still felt like something was amiss.

Then Madam Yun turned to Wei Yichen, “Yichen, once we reach Government City, don’t always stay at home. Yes, preparing for the provincial exams is important, but mingling with other young noblemen will also benefit you.”

Wei Yichen nodded, “I understand, Mother.”

Madam Yun then made arrangements for the move and reminded, “In the next few days in Xingshan County, it will be the last time for all of us having meals together. After we reach Government City, some of the rules we ignored before must be observed. Since Yichen, Ruoruo, and Wanwan have grown-up, it’s not appropriate to eat together anymore. We’ll have to separate the sexes for meals in the future.”

Everyone agreed.

The next day, Wei Ruo went to the Xie Residence.
