“Yes,” the butler gave a affirmative answer, then held out the gift list with both hands, “This is the gift list, please take a look, Miss Wei.

Looking at the densely written characters on the gift list, Wei Ruo didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Weren’t Xie Jue and Xie Ying, the brother and sister, a bit too generous?

A full cart, even when the Military Prefecture sent New Year’s gifts to the manor in the Capital City, it wasn’t that much, was it?

Madam Yun stepped forward, glanced at the gift list in Wei Ruo’s hand, and her face immediately changed.

Just the Yun brocade alone was quite intimidating. Currently, only Madam Yun in the Military Prefecture had any left, and that was from old garments made in the past.

As the decline of the Loyal and Righteous Duke’s Residence became apparent, there hadn’t been any Yun brocade in the house for many years, so no new clothes had been made from such materials.

There were also many ornamental pieces and medicinal materials, none of which were commonly-seen cheap items.

Madam Yun hurriedly said to the butler of the Xie Residence, “Butler Xie, isn’t the gift from Master Xie and Miss Xie a bit too valuable?”

The butler smiled, “Not at all, not at all, Miss Wei has been very kind to our young master, Miss Xie and the madam. These gifts are nothing.” The remedy that Wei Ruo gave to Xie Ying, which Xie Ying prepared for herself, not only moved Xie Ying’s mother greatly as she personally picked and boiled herbs but also turned out to be very effective.

Although Madam Xie had no serious ailments, as a woman, she had some symptoms of physical weakness and blood deficiency. After taking the medicine, Madam Xie’s problem of night sweats, nightmares, and restlessness had improved significantly, and her spirits had improved as well.

just for this alone, drawing on this reciprocal gift from the Xie family was hardly considered too generous.

Wei Qingwan didn’t see what was included in the gift list, but from Madam Yun’s reaction, she guessed it must be very valuable.

An entire cart of valuable gifts, and the Xie family simply gave them away.

And Wei Ruo had this opportunity simply because she and Xie Ying had become classmates and had gradually gotten to know each other.

If it had been her who had been given the chance to study at the Xie Family,

then what about now…

Wei Ruo also felt that this return gift was a bit too valuable. But since the Xie Family had already brought the gift to her doorstep, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to send it back.

“Could the butler please tell your young master and your young lady for me that I have received their gifts, and I am very pleased with them? I would like to invite them for tea and pastries next time.” Wei Ruo said.

“Of course, I will relay Miss Wei’s words without omission to the young master and the young lady,” said the butler, smiling.

Then Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei, “Xiumei, move everything into my

courtyard.”

“Yes, Miss!” Xiumei came forward to start moving.

“Sister, shall I let Cuihe help you move too?” Wei Qingwan approached and asked softly.

“No need, your maid isn’t as strong as Xiumei. These boxes are quite heavy; it’s not good if they get too tired,” Wei Ruo resolutely refused.
