“Um…you danced….” Xiaobei answered softly.

Wei Jinyi felt a sudden throbbing in his temples.

“What else did I say?”

“Young Master didn’t say much more, just many things you don’t normally say to Miss. You complimented Miss and Xiumei on their looks, praised how good their cooking was, and ” Xiaobei chose his words as modestly as possible to

cushion the blow for his young master.

“What else?”

“Also… you were waiting for Miss to compliment you…” Xiaobei bowed his head low, not daring to glance at his young master’s expression.

Wei Jinyi had another bout of headache.

After the accident at the age of ten, he had stopped drinking. He disliked the feeling of losing control over himself and regretted his rash actions when drunk.

He drank the plum wine yesterday, thinking that its sweetness would not result in intoxication.

For several days, there was a tense atmosphere throughout Xingshan County. Several times, people had seen troops moving through the city, along with transports of supplies and equipment.

Before long, rumors were flying that war might break out outside the city walls.

Until now, there had only been minor skirmishes, but this time it looked like a full-scale war was imminent.

With the looming danger, the city’s inhabitants were fretful.

If the city were to fall, none could escape the wrath of the Japanese pirates.

However, all city gates were now strictly monitored. Even if the inhabitants wanted to flee, it was already too late.

The Wei Family was also enveloped in a cloud of anxiety.

Whether the rumors were true or not, even the Wei Family couldn’t find out at this point.

The government offices and the army had not made a public announcement yet. Meanwhile, Wei Mingting hadn’t been home for ten days, leaving the Wei Family with no chance to ask him about the situation.

Mrs. Yun was so worried she could hardly eat. She was concerned that her husband could be injured in battle against the ruthless Japanese pirates.

While being anxious, she also had to continue managing the household in case the Wei Family needed to evacuate immediately in the event of defeat.

With Mrs. Yun bustling about to take care of the household matters while worrying for her husband, it’s clear that she’s worn out from it all.

Noticing this, Wei Qingwan went to Cangyun Garden every day to accompany Mrs. Yun and help her with some miscellaneous tasks.

Having grown up in the Wei Family, Wei Qingwan was well versed in matters of housekeeping, so she was able to effectively assist and advise Mrs. Yun.

After a period of working together in Mrs. Yun’s study, Mrs. Yun paused for a brief rest.
