Cuihe had no choice but to do as instructed, taking the uneaten porridge and pickles back out again.

Cuihe wanted to report this to Madam Yun, but since she was in the room, she chose to inform Cuiping, who was serving Madam Yun, hoping that Cuiping would report it to her.

“Sister Cuiping, the second young lady didn’t eat anything for dinner. I brought back all the white porridge and pickles untouched. The second young lady was frail to start with, I’m a little worried that she might fail ill if this continues.” Cuihe said.

I understand.” Cuiping responded succinctly and didn’t go in to report to Madam Yun.

With the eldest young lady’s condition already burdening the matron, adding the predicament of the second lady not eating would be like adding fuel to the fire, wouldn’t it?

Moreover, one is officially ill diagnosed by a doctor, and the other is deliberately refusing to eat. Clearly, one is more serious than the other.

Cuiping therefore decided not to relay the message.

Wei Qingwan waited for Madam Yun in her room for a long time, but to no avail. In the end, she threw herself on the bed and cried her heart out.

The next day, Wei Ruo was taken away by Madam Yuan again. Madam Yun did not know why. Without Wei Ruo telling her, she had no way of knowing.

This time, Wei Ruo was gone for even longer, so much so that it was dusk by the time she came back.

Madam Yun invited Wei Ruo to have dinner together, but Wei Ruo responded that she had already dined with Madam Yuan. She also told Madam Yun that everything was taken care of, and that Madam Yuan would not be visiting her again in the next few days. They could return to Xingshan County anytime.

Thus, Madam Yun ordered the servants to prepare for the journey, and they set off for Xingshan County early the next morning.

In the same horse carriage, Wei Ruo leaned against the corner on the inner side, covered with a thin blanket – the blanket veiling her entire face, hiding her expression from everyone’s view.

Wei Qingwan was seated near the curtain, looking pale. She thought her mother would ask her something, but Madam Yun never broached the subject. Wei Qingwan felt like she had hit rock bottom, her place in her mother’s heart was completely taken by Wei Qingruo now…

Madam Yun noticed that Wei Qingwan looked a bit pale. However, with Wei Ruo lying next to her, looking frail as the doctor had diagnosed, Madam Yun felt she should prioritize Wei Ruo more.

It took them a full day to travel from Government City to Xingshan County, and by the time Madam Yun and her two daughters returned to Xingshan County, it was already evening.

Once back in Xingshan County, Madam Yun grounded Wei Qingwan for three days, then took gifts to pay a visit to the Xie family, thanking them for loaning the side mansion.

Wei Ruo spent two peaceful days in her own courtyard, albeit not in leisure.

She had to accept the estate Madam Yuan gave her, familiarize herself with the related account books, and the personnel arrangements in the estate.

Amid the bustle, Wei Ruo received a letter from Wei Jinyi, sent back home. There were two letters in total. The one openly sent was for Wei Mingting, while the one for Wei Ruo was secretly tucked in.

Wei Ruo burst into laughter after opening and reading through the packed Page.

The rarely talkative second brother was suddenly so verbose, Wei Ruo thought this page would cover half a month’s worth of his usual conversations.

Of course, excluding when he was drunk, when he did tend to be rather talkative.

“Miss, what did second young master say in the letter that made you so happy?” On entering and seeing Wei Ruo laughing with the letter from Wei Jinyi, Xiumei couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

The content isn’t particularly amusing, it’s just that the image of second brother babbling out this whole page of words amuses me.”

“What did the second young master say? Any idea when he’s coming back? The house feels quite empty without them.” Xiumei remarked.

“Second brother said he would be back early next month, but didn’t specify the date.” Wei Ruo replied.
