“That’s not bad at all. At least it’s not a bullock cart,” Wei Ruo chuckled.
Not being reduced to a bullock cart doesn’t necessarily mean she is being overly adored by Yun Shi. It could be because Yunshi can’t afford to lose face.
“Ruoruo, this is a necessary evil. The Xie Family is no ordinary family. Moreover, Qingwan is going to see the famous female scholar Wang Caiwei, Yun Shi said to Wei Ruo, furrowing her brow in thought.
“Hmm, you make a strong point. I totally agree,” Wei Ruo nodded in agreement.
“You agree?” Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo in surprise, thinking she was being sarcastic, but her breezy demeanor didn’t seem like she was.
“Absolutely. Whoever has to travel farther to the high-ranking Xie Family to learn from the more talented Mr. Wang gets to ride in the old, good carriage. The one who stays behind gets the new, but more shabby one. Makes perfect sense,” Wei Ruo said.
Yun Shi furrowed her brow, not sure how to respond to Wei Ruo’s words.
Wei Ruo quickly added, “Your decision isn’t based on the fact that Wei Qingwan is going to the Xie Family and I’m going to the magistrate’s office, right? It’s purely because the Xie Family is located farther away and their status is higher than ours, right?”
“Of course, that’s the case,” Yun Shi immediately replied.
“Well then, I have no objections. My mother is considering the objective factors and treating us fairly; naturally, I won’t object,” Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo’s words were reasonable and polite, though it made Mrs. Yun feel vague unease.

“Sister, I prepared a gift for you!” Yilin excitedly ran into Wangmei Garden.
“A gift?”
“Yes, to celebrate you going to the Xie family for classes and to study under the famous female scholar!” Yilin said with a full-faced smile.
Yilin proudly introduced his gift, “I bought you a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, all from the newly opened Four Treasure House!”
“Isn’t their paper very expensive and hard to buy?” Qingwan looked surprised.
“Yes, but it’s okay, your little brother has some money stored away!” Yilin answered with a cheeky grin.
“Yilin, you are so good to me!” Qingwan murmured tenderly, overwhelmed with emotion.
“You’re my sister, if I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?”
Qingwan hesitated, “But we also have elder sister who’s going to study at the magistrate’s office. I’m not sure how well equipped she is.”
“I really don’t care about her. Her business has nothing to do with me!”
“I should check on her. If she lacks anything, I can share with her some of mine. After all, she is our elder sister. She may not care about us, but we, as younger siblings, should care about her.’
Saying this, Qingwan walked towards her room and came back with a handful of stationery.
“Sis, I’ll accompany you! I’m afraid she might bully you,” Yilin followed.
“Thank you, Yilin, I will be fine. Even in the residence, elder sister wouldn’t dare to bully me.”
“Just because you’re kind to her doesn’t mean she will be the same to you! We must not be too optimistic!” Yilin was firm.
Anyway, today, if his sister wanted to visit Wei Qingruo, he would accompany her!
