“Ruo Ruo is… preparing for her lessons in her room.
in reality, Wei Ruo was probably busy tending to the fruits and vegetables in her garden, but Yun was too embarrassed to tell others that her daughter was gardening. So, she falsely claimed that Ruo Ruo was preparing for her lessons.
“Mother, I’m going to see what she’s preparing.” Xie Ying said.
Madam Xie turned to Yun and asked, “Madam Wei, may I…?”
Yun gave an awkward smile. But since Madam Xie had asked, she could hardly refuse and could only agree, “Then I will have my Maid Cuiping lead Miss Xie
there.”
“Let’s go now.” Xie Ying left without paying any attention to Wei Qingwan, who was smiling and watching her.
Yun was right. At this moment, Wei Ruo was picking the tender tips of the zucchini vines in her courtyard.
Her zucchini vines were growing very well. They climbed up half of the courtyard wall and had borne several fruits. It was the perfect time to pick these two things.
Wei Ruo loved to eat tender zucchinis and zucchini tips. These two could be stir-fried together, offering a crisp and refreshing taste.
When Xie Ying entered, she saw Wei Ruo standing on a ladder with a bamboo basket in her hand, intently picking something.
Xie Ying walked over without saying a word and just watched.
Hearing the footsteps, Wei Ruo knew someone had entered. She didn’t bother
about it at first, but when the other party remained silent for quite a while, she finally turned her head to look over.
“Miss Xie?”
Wei Ruo was not too surprised at Xie Ying’s arrival. She had heard about Madam Xie’s plan to visit the Wei Family. However, she was curious why Xie Ying was watching her so intently.
“What are you doing?” Xie Ying asked.
“Picking zucchini tips and baby zucchinis.” Wei Ruo replied.
“Oh, I know about that. I’ve eaten it. It has no taste.” Xie Ying said.
“Well, that probably means the chef who made it wasn’t very good. I’ll let you
try Meimei’s cooking next time.” Wei Ruo said.
Xie Ying did not counter, but her look told Wei Ruo that she didn’t quite believe what Wei Ruo said. How good could zucchini tips taste?
Xie Ying glanced around and asked, “Is there anywhere here where 1 can hide and nap for a while? I’ve been dragged around by my mother since early morning, and I haven’t fully woken up yet.”
Xie Ying didn’t care why Wei Ruo planted vegetables in her courtyard or why she was not preparing for her lessons. All she wanted was to find a place to daydream and sleep.
Wei Ruo pointed at her wicker chair in the courtyard and said, “You can move it under my gourd trellis, where the sun can’t reach.
The sun would become quite hot later in the day and if one wanted to nap, a cooler spot was much better.
