Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan’s steps faltered. She turned her head with a puzzled look towards Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo had a faint smile on her face: “Actually, it doesn’t matter to me which carriage I ride in. As the eldest sister, I shouldn’t quibble over such small matters with my siblings. But what mother said makes a lot of sense, and I don’t want to go against her wishes.”
Wei Qingwan looked at Madam Yun again.
Madam Yun didn’t know what to say at this point.
She indeed had said those words! However, they all thought that Wanwan was the one going to study at the Xie Family, and they didn’t know that Wanwan would be wronged in this matter.
If she had known that Wanwan would be wronged, she would not have suggested changing the carriages to ease Wanwan’s feelings and to make up for the hurt she experienced!
“Mother, is… is this your idea?” Wei Qingwan asked Madam Yun.
“Yes, it’s my idea.” Madam Yun said. Despite some misgivings, she couldn’t deny what she had said.
She then comforted Wei Qingwan: “Wanwan, the Xie Family is prestigious. We should not let them think less of us. Let your elder sister ride the bigger carriage. Although the other one is slightly smaller, it is brand new. I deliberately had it prepared for you.”
Wei Qingwan’s eyes were red and she slightly nodded her head: “I understand, mother, you needn’t worry… I understand everything…”
Her voice was shaking and it was clear that she was trying her best to hold back her feelings of hurt and sadness.
Seeing her trying to stay strong in the face of this sorrow made Madam Yun’s heart ache.
Wei Ruo stepped forward: “Mother, don’t worry. Qingwan is understanding.
She wouldn’t cry or be upset over a change in carriages. When I came back home, she even said she would give me everything she had.”
“Although I never thought about taking Qingwan’s things, if Qingwan said so, it means that she had this intention. Now, the matter of giving me her carriage should not make her sad.”
We Qingwan’s tears were close to falling. After hearing Wei Ruo’s words, she managed to hold them back.
Wei Ruo continued: “Actually, if mother hadn’t analyzed the reasons objectively, I wouldn’t mind sitting in the smaller carriage. After all, when I was in the countryside before, I didn’t even have an ox cart, let alone a carriage. Whether it’s big or small, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Yun felt a twinge in her heart. Looking into Wei Ruo’s clear and tranquil eyes, she suddenly felt an uncomfortable sense of guilt.
Madam Yun quickly realized that her thoughts over the past few days were somewhat faulty. While Wanwan might have been wronged a bit, it wasn’t that bad.
After all these years, Wanwan had lived according to the standards of the Wei Family’s young miss. Even if she was now riding in a smaller carriage, it was still better than Ruo Ruo’s life in the past.
Thinking like this, if she kept putting Wanwan’s grievances in the open, that would be unnecessarily unfair.
Having sorted out these thoughts, Madam Yun said to both Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan: “Alright, it’s getting late. You need to get on your respective carriages and leave. Especially you, Ruo Ruo, since this is your first time going to the Xie Family, be careful about everything.”
“I got it.” Wei Ruo answered before turning around gracefully and getting on the larger carriage.
Wei Qingwan hesitated for a bit. After confirming that Madam Yun wouldn’t change her mind, she got onto the noticeably smaller and less luxurious carriage with the help of Maid Cuihe.
Once she was inside the carriage, Wei Qingwan began to sob.
“Miss, stop crying. Be careful not to hurt your eyes.” Cuihe quickly tried to comfort her.
“I don’t want to cry either but the tears won’t stop flowing. My heart feels terrible…”
