Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Stumble Into by Accident_l

Translator: 549690339 I

The entire Wei Residence was searched, even Tingsong Garden and Yingzhu Garden, where Wei Yilin would hardly go. However, Wei Yilin was nowhere to be found.

It was now clear that Wei Yilin was not in the residence. Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan hurriedly reported the matter to Madam Yun.

Madam Yun immediately mobilized everyone in the residence to search.

In Tingsong Garden, after Wei Ruo had sent away the people who came to inquire about Wei Yilin, she lazily fell back into bed.

It was a rare break, why not have a nap? Napping is such a happy thing to do.

“Miss, should you also go out to help search? The servants from Wangmei Garden have already dashed out to join the search. They are quite busy.” Xiumei asked anxiously, frowning.

“With so many people already out looking, my absence won’t make much difference; moreover, I don’t like the brat Wei Yilin and he doesn’t like me either, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to be found by me, his older sister in-name.” Wei Ruo stretched out lazily.

“Miss, I’m just worried that if young master really has had an accident, when Madam Yun asks about it and finds out that you, the eldest miss, were unconcernedly napping at home, you will be scolded…” Xiumei lowered her head and murmured.

At her words, Wei Ruo opened her eyes; becoming significantly more alert.

What Xiumei said was true; it wasn’t just about suffering Madam Yun’s punishment, if someone else gossiped it, the accusations of the eldest sister’s indifference might become more intense. After all, her little brother was missing, and she did not seem to care.

After a moment, Wei Ruo rolled over, propping up her upper body.

“Get the clothes, Xiumei, I am destined to work hard. There is simply no time for rest!”

Reluctantly, Wei Ruo got up and dressed, then went out with Xiumei.

The servants from the residence who were out searching spread out in a carpet pattern; everyone went out on foot, except for Wei Qingwan, who took a carriage. As a result, the carriage which Wei Ruo regularly took was available.

Although she walked out of the door, Wei Ruo did not have a specific direction, so she randomly decided to go to the south of the city. Even if she didn’t find anyone, at least she could take a look at the situation there.

After leaving the residence and reaching the south of the city, Wei Ruo got off the carriage and wandered around.

Xiumei was helpless: her lady was actually making an inspection of the land reclamation in the south of the city under the guise of searching for someone.

Wei Ruo walked around and observed; most of the people reclaiming the wasteland were poor folks without land. What she saw along the way were nothing but skinny elders or thin children.

They were all waiting for crops to grow on this piece of land. Their eyes were filled with light when they looked at the newly reclaimed fields.

There was a little boy, thin and yellow-skinned, dressed in thin, shabby clothes, nestled in the arms of his grandfather. When Wei Ruo passed by, his eyes were full of curiosity as he stared at her.

Then his grandfather hastily hugged him a little tighter and whispered, “Behave yourself, that’s the daughter of an official.”

Obviously, the grandfather was afraid his grandchild might offend Wei Ruo, and their difference in status was evident from Wei Ruo’s clothing.

The little boy was immediately frightened and quickly withdrew his gaze, daring not to look directly at Wei Ruo anymore.

Wei Ruo stopped, turned around and asked Xiumei, “Meimei, I’m a bit hungry, do you have any food?”

Xiumei knew very well that her mistress was not hungry herself, but wanted to give some food to these elders and children.
