“No, it’s only recent contact.” Wei Ruo replied with a dull expression.

“What did Madam Yuan ask you about?” Madam Yun asked again.

“Didn’t I tell mother before I went out today? It was about farming matters.”

“Why would Madam Yuan be so concerned about farming matters?” Yun Madam asked again.

“Mother really doesn’t know? Magistrate Yuan wishes to lead effectively and of course won’t neglect the well-being of ordinary people, nurturing harmony between people and government.” Wei Ruo replied.

Yun Madam had also thought of this point, but she was somewhat surprised that Madam Yuan would come to her daughter for this matter.

Yun Madam looked at the Wei Ruo in front of her, with complicated thoughts in her heart. She sighed deeply and said, “Ruoruo, I’m glad to see you gaining more appreciation from Madam Yuan. But what I said to you this morning was genuine. I really feel that it’s the right course to be a gentle girl and to marry into a good family someday.”

The education and life experiences Yun Madam had gone through always led her to believe that securing a good marriage is the most decent achievement a woman should strive for.

“This is my chosen path, I will take responsibility for the consequences. Mother, please do not stop me.” Wei Ruo was firm in her response.

Yun Madam was making another helpless sigh, “You are very much like your father. And your father supports what you are doing too.”

Sometimes Yun Madam could not understand her husband well.

But as a wife, she knew she should support her husband wholeheartedly.

Wei Ruo stated: “So, Mother, please stop trying to dissuade me. I want to walk this path, and I will bear any consequences that come with it.”

Yun Madam nodded: “I can’t stop you, and there’s nothing I can do if you insist on your way and complain to your father.”

Because of her husband’s attitude, Yun Madam could only reason with Wei Ruo. If her reasoning failed, she would have to stop, she’s unwilling to upset her husband.

Given the present warfare situation, Yun Madam wouldn’t dare to provoke any family conflicts that may distract her husband.

Next, Madam Yun said, “Since Madam Yuan has a high opinion of you, use your chance to say a few good words for your sister if you can.”

On the previous occasion, Wei Qingwan had wanted Wei Ruo to speak well of her, but Wei Ruo had evaded it on the pretext of a headache.

Now Madam Yuan appeared again, and Yun Madam saw the opportunity, so she brought it up.

“If I said I don’t want to, would mother accuse me of being heartless again?” asked Wei Ruo.

Yun Madam frowned and then speak in a grave tone, “Indeed, it was Wanwan who was wrong that day; it was inappropriate for me to map the blame on you.”

A few days after the event, Yun Madam was finally willing to admit she was wrong that day.

Yun Madam then continued, “But Ruoruo, we are a family; we share success and disgrace together. It does no good for you to see your sister’s reputation damaged. You must understand this.”

Wei Ruo remained silent, her face expressionless as she looked at Yun Madam.

Yun Madam continued, “After receiving punishment, your sister has learned her lesson. She has been confined to her room and her monthly allowance has been cut off. Her reputation in the government city isn’t good either. Isn’t all this enough for you to let your grudge go?”

Had Wei Qingwan truly learned her lesson from this and stopped provoking troubles, Wei Ruo might have been willing to let go of her grudge. However, the fact was far from this, the drama she executed before she left this morning was the proof.
