“Hmm, a very good friend,” Wei Ruo answered.
The smile on Wei Ruo’s face hinted at an unusual relationship between her and that person.
“I can ask around for you. If I find it, I’ll have Xiaobei bring it to you,” said Wei Jinyi.
“Great, thanks Brother Second-” Wei Ruo could not hide her delight.
Asking Wei Jinyi was a shot in the dark, she hadn’t expected that he might have resources.
Facing Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi spoke slowly, “Don’t work too hard.”
“I know, brother, I do care about my health, I’ll be careful!” Wei Ruo reached out to hold Wei Jinyi’s hand.
The moment she touched it, Wei Jinyi withdrew his hand quickly.
“What are you doing?”
“Pulsing you. I have been giving you energizing pills for some time, haven’t I? I want to see how they are working, seeing how I can refine the formula, I am making medicine now, so I made yours in the process,” Wei Ruo replied.
After hearing her explanation, Wei Jinyi realized he had overreacted.
Then he extended his hand again to Wei Ruo.
With her fingers on Wei Jinyi’s wrist, Wei Ruo evaluated after a short while, “Hmm, it’s improving, I’ll make you another twenty pills this time. Continue as before.”
“Hmm.”

Capital City, Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence.
After waiting for several days, news from Xingshan County finally arrived in the capital. Upon receiving the letter, the old earl excitedly exclaimed that it was good news.
The old earl was sixty-eight this year, lean, with gray hair and a gray beard.
Standing in front of him were his eldest son Wei Minghong and his younger son Wei Mingyong.
Wei Minghong was plump and jovial with a distinct resemblance to his father.
Wei Mingyong was a bit leaner and looked more shrewd.
“You both should read the letter that your younger brother has sent,” the old earl handed the letter to his two sons.
Wei Minghong, the eldest son, took the letter, and Wei Mingyong moved closer to read along with him.
Upon finishing, a smile of delight spread across both of their faces.
“Father, does this mean that our third brother’s efforts in reforming the land have been recognized by the Seventh Prince?” Wei Minghong asked eagerly.
“It’s not certain whether he’ll be recognized by the Seventh Prince, but at the very least, he’s caught his attention. That’s always a good thing,” the old earl commented.
“That’s really wonderful!” Wei Minghong exclaimed, “Rumor has it that the Seventh Prince is the most likely heir to the throne. If he grants his favor to us, we will stand a chance to preserve our nobleman’s rank!”
At this moment, Wei Mingyong had a question: “Father, in the letter, our third brother mentioned that this task was carried out by our niece Wei Qingruo, who we’ve never met. She spent her entire childhood in the countryside, which might have given her a countryside complexion and make her not suitable for the higher echelons. How could she be this capable?”
“Humph! Why couldn’t she be capable!? She is my legitimate granddaughter! The rightful heir of our Wei Family! Those brought up in the countryside will naturally learn farming skills! You two are too shallow! Now, you must see, those who grow up in the countryside do have their own virtues!”
Back when they were deciding the rankings among granddaughters, he’d asked for his sons’ opinions. Both of them didn’t have much to say, but they felt that the newly adopted girl might not have the refined manners, and were concerned she would embarrass the family if chosen as the first granddaughter.
