Upon Mrs. Yun’s praise of Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan’s fists clenched involuntarily.

Now it seems that both her father and mother think her sister is better than she is.

Taking Mrs. Yun’s words, Wei Qingwan said casually, “Yes, it would have been better if my sister had told us sooner.”

At these words, Mrs. Yun’s expression faltered slightly.

She didn’t know about her eldest daughter’s superior rice seeds, but her eldest daughter should have known.

However, this thought only lingered in Mrs. Yun’s mind for a moment. She quickly remembered that when they had brought their eldest daughter home, they had already begun planting the early rice seedlings.

“We can’t blame Ruoruo for this, I remember when she came back, we had already started planting the seedlings in the field. If she had suggested changing the rice variety then, I probably wouldn’t have believed her right away,” Mrs. Yun said.

She remembered this clearly. At first, when her daughter wanted to improve the land in the southern city, she had opposed it, not really believing her eldest daughter could accomplish it.

“Right… right, I almost forgot. My sister only came back then, I must have misremembered,” Wei Qingwan readily concurred, her face hurriedly agreeing.

Just when Mrs. Yun was worried about the grain supply, the goods from Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence in the Capital City arrived.

They were gifts from her Grandfather Duke and her husband’s two older brothers, sent to celebrate Wei Mingting’s promotion.

Among the gifts were several wagonloads of rice grains. They arrived today because they were delayed by the slower land route after passing Hangzhou Prefecture, despite the initial faster water route.

Upon seeing wagon after wagon of goods, Mrs. Yun was overjoyed.

Although Mrs. Yun knew that the Grandfather Duke and her two brothers-in-law were so enthusiastic mainly due to her husband’s promotion. He was now the only one in the Loyal and Righteous Duke’s Residence with an official position, almost supporting the entire family.

Yet, she could not deny that this grain supply had alleviated her immediate concerns.

In addition to the grains, the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence sent also some fabrics and jewelry, which were gifts from the Grandfather Duke and Madam Duke.

“Madam, these were given by the old Duke and Madam to Miss,” the one who brought the gifts specifically explained.

“Good,” Mrs. Yun agreed, her gaze went to Wei Qingwan, and her eyes revealed concern.

Wei Qingwan was rather pale, but she still managed to force a smile, even though it made Mrs. Yun just want to take care of her even more.

Before Mrs. Yun could bring up the matter, Wei Qingwan preempted her: “Mother, I am fine. My sister just returned to the residence, so it’s normal for my grandparents to be mainly concerned about her.”

Hearing her daughter’s sensible words made Mrs. Yun feel even more depressed.

Mrs. Yun glanced at the fabrics and jewelry in front of her, hesitated for a while, and then said, “Wanwan, when we have more money in the residence, I will buy some more for you.”

In her heart, Mrs. Yun really wanted to give some to Wei Qingwan, but the rational part of her recognized that these fabrics and jewelry were not like those bronze decorations. These items had to be worn and shown in public.

In the future, they would have to return to Capital City, and if her grandparents-in-law discovered that she had privately passed on these gifts that they had specifically asked to be given to her eldest daughter to Wei Qingwan, they would certainly be displeased.

However much Mrs. Yun wanted to take care of Wei Qingwan, she did not dare to offend her in-laws.

Upon hearing Mrs. Yun’s words, Wei Qingwan was taken aback and stared at Mrs. Yun in a daze.
