“It indeed is my brother!” Xie Ying confirmed the “mountain climber’s” identity.

Xiumei immediately released her grip.

Xie Ying stepped forward to help Xie Jue up.

A handsome face, open and bright eyes, but now, covered in a few blades of grass and mud marks, diminished and in a state of disarray.

“Brother, what… what are you doing here?” Xie Ying exclaimed. -Didn’t mother tell you that I would be here in a few days?” Xie Jue asked.

-She did tell me, but she didn’t say it’d be today. Also, why didn’t you go home first, why were you following us?” Xie Ying inquired.

Xie Jue responded disheartedly, “I did go home, but mother said you had left. I heard that there were not many people accompanying you, so I felt worried and decided to come over.”

“Then why didn’t you take the regular mountain path and instead choose to cross over from the mountain top?

“I knew you were planning to visit the separate quarters, so I came in advance.

You hadn’t arrived yet, and I happened to see a beautiful yellow flower on the mountain. So I thought I’d pick some for you. However, after picking and on my way back….”

Little did he expect his sister’s maid to be so skilled and give him a surprise hit.

Wei Ruo noticed several lily-like yellow flowers lying on the ground in front of

Xie Jue. These seemed to be the ones Xie Jue had just picked for his sister.

Judging by their appearance, they looked like dayhhes.

If they were in abundance, they could be plucked, have their stamen dried, and used for stir-fried dishes or soup – they would surely taste delicious!

Xie Jue’s gaze fell on Wei Ruo. Even though the one who physically struck him was her maid, the order had indeed come from Wei Ruo herself!

Feeling Xie Jue’s gaze, Wei Ruo explained, “I’m sorry, Lord Xie. I didn’t know you were Xie Ying’s brother. I thought you were a rogue who posed a threat to Ying’er and me.”

-So you must be the ‘unique Lady Wei’ my sister often mentions in her letters.”

Although it was their first meeting, thanks to his sister, Xie Jue had long heard of Wei Ruo’s name.

Due to his sister’s descriptions, Xie Jue had developed some curiosity for Lady

Wei Ruo, who was different from typical ladies.

Upon meeting her today, no distinct characteristics stood out except for the fact that she sure could handle a fight.

“Brother, today’s situation was purely provoked by you. You can’t blame anyone else,” Xie Ying interjected, thinking her brother was about to vent his anger on Wei Ruo.

“What kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I would be so petty as to take offense over such a trifle with ladies?” Xie Jue retorted.

“What do you mean by ‘with ladies’? It was your wrongdoing in the first place, why bring the fact that we are ladies into it?” Xie Ying countered, unhappy with his remarks.

“My mistake, I’ve misspoken. Please don’t be angry,” Xie Jue quickly apologized.

“Hmm, that’s more like it,” Xie Ying accepted Xie Jue’s apology. Turning around, she took Wei Ruo’s arm and walked towards the estate, leaving Xie Jue alone, trailing behind.
