“Miss Wei has bought quite a number of fields in the Government City these past few days and has employed many of these newly appeared starving people.” said Yuan Zhengqin.

“My sister Ruoruo mentioned this to me. Is there a problem?” asked Madam

Yuan.

“There is no chaos that I’ve heard of. From the point of view of a Magistrate, Miss Wei did a good deed. These starving people just appeared recently. Although they are not many, they are a form of instability. I was worried how to settle them, but they were all taken by Miss Wei. With fields to plough and rice to eat, they naturally settled down. This is much better than my using silver to arrange their stay.”

The government’s involvement in arranging housing and distributing food is all short-term and cannot solve the long-term problems.

“As long as there is no chaos, that is good. She saved my life, now she is helping me to treat my illness and also giving us ideas to increase productivity for the farmers. If she has any problems, you have to tell me, I need to help her.” Madam Yuan said to her husband.

“I know, I am also grateful to her. If any matters come up, I will assist her without you having to tell me.” saying this, Yuan Zhengqin sighed, “Looking at the current trend, I am afraid that Miss Wei’s family property will be more substantial than the entire Military Prefecture’s, she may even catch up to the wealth at the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence in the Capital City.” Yuan Zhengqin was familiar with the situation at Wei Family. Apart from the old grandfather and grandmother who perhaps still had some unknown property from within the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, there was really nothing else to show for it.

“That is my sister Ruoruo’s own effort. The rewards for the improvements that she made on the barren lands were given to her by the seventh prince. The land I gave her was for saving my and brother Shen’s lives. She has the ability, so she should have such property.” said Madam Yuan.

Seeing his wife speak so favorably of Wei Ruo, Yuan Zhengqin couldn’t help but laugh: “It seems the Madam really likes Miss Wei.”

Madam Yuan said, “Initially, it was mostly out of gratitude. I still remember clearly her resolute look and words when I was at my most painful and difficult time, in these times of friendship, I truly like her more. Her nature suits my taste and is unlike the average young lady.”

“AS long as Madam is happy, I am satisfied. Madam has found a close friend in this relatively cold place of Taizhou Prefecture. In these years for Madam to leave the Capital City to accompany me here, I have truly wronged Madam.” “I have nothing to feel wronged about. As long as you are by my side, as long as you understand me, I am willing to go anywhere. Besides, I am living and eating well here, so why should I feel wronged?”

“Hmm.” Yuan Zhengqin gently held his wife in his arms.

Having a wife like her, what more can a man ask for.

Wei Ruo stayed in Government City until the opening of the braised meat shop before she returned.

She did not want to go back. However, if she delayed any longer, even with Madam Yuan as an excuse, it would be unacceptable.

After half a month, upon returning to the Military Prefecture, Wei Ruo first went to see Wei Mingting.

Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo as if he had a lot to say.

“Ruo has worked hard.” said Wei Mingting.

“Your daughter has not suffered. Father has been fighting recent battles, fighting hard, and protecting our home and country are the real hardships.” Wei Ruo answered diplomatically.

Wei Mingting stared at Wei Ruo for a long time. Wei Ruo couldn’t help but lift her head and look at him.

Their eyes met. Wei Ruo felt a little hazy. She saw on Wei Mingting’s face a look of an unfamiliar emotion.

In her previous life, Wei Ruo never saw this from the drunk and abusive father. And in this life, up to now, it was the first time she saw someone show her such eyes.

They were deep, they were thick, as if they contained many emotions.
