Madam Yun had not expected her husband to validate their eldest daughter s abilities so wholly.
But indeed, Ruoruo’s recent accomplishments did bring luster to the Wei Residence. Her behavior was impeccable both within and outside their home, exuding the demeanor of an elder sister—a performance far exceeding her earliest expectations.
Madam Yun agreed saying, “You’re right, my Lord. Ruoruo is indeed better suited to be the eldest daughter. But our Wanwan isn’t bad either: she’s gentle, considerate, obedient, and sensible. Every time I see her, my heart fills with
joy”
In acknowledging their eldest daughter, she also took special care to appreciate their second daughter’s excellence.
“Hmm.” Wei Mingting couldn’t deny this. His daughters both excelled in their ways.
‘■The matter of finding a martial arts master for Yilin is settled. You should strictly enforce the rules I laid down today, even when I am not at home. You mustn’t be soft-hearted.” Wei Mingting further cautioned his wife, who was prone to being lenient with their children.
Knowing that his wife had a soft heart, he took special care to admonish her. “Rest assured, my Lord, I will definitely fulfill your expectations.” Madam Yun promised.
Although she loved her young son and didn’t want him to suffer, she would definitely adhere to the arrangements made by her husband.

While Wei Mingting and Madam Yun were in discussion, Wei Ruo was supervising Wei Yilin’s wood chopping in the yard.
The seven-year-old’s small arms strained hard against the hefty ax, visibly struggling.
With each swing, the ax barely made a dent in the wood, far from splitting the logs.
Worn out after merely a few swings, he wanted to stop, but Wei Ruo’s voice rang out:
“If you don’t chop five bundles of wood today, you’ll continue tomorrow, starting anew with five bundles. If you don’t finish tomorrow, then the day after, and so on until you can chop five bundles in a single day.
“Wei Qingruo, this is really unfair!” Wei Yilin couldn’t hold back anymore, his round eyes glared at Wei Ruo, fuming with anger.
“Unfair? Really?” Wei Ruo asked lazily, a smug smile on her face.
“I know you’re getting back at me for betraying you yesterday, right? I thought about it last night, everything was too real to be just a dream-it must have actually happened!” Wei Yilin asserted with confidence.
Wei Ruo simply answered with silence and a grin.
Wei Yilin carried on, “Wei Qingruo, I admit my actions yesterday were wrong. Even if I recall yesterday’s events, I won’t tell anyone. Because I realize it would reflect badly on you if others knew you were kidnapped. Even if I don’t like you, you’re a woman of our Wei Family. I won’t ruin your reputation.” Wei Yilin puffed out his cheeks with an angry yet serious expression on his face.
Wei Ruo remained silent.
What if he remembered? As long as she didn’t confirm it, nobody would believe what he said. She didn’t care whether he remembered or not.
“Also, I think it was quite impressive that you killed those two Japanese pirates. So, you shouldn’t retaliate this way. Go to father and ask him to rescind his orders. I can learn martial arts, but don’t separate me from Sister Wanwan and especially don’t let you be in charge. I don’t like you!”
“What if I don’t agree?” Wei Ruo asked with a smile.
