Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Both Heartbreaking and Funny l

Translator: 549690339

Places like my buttocks and inner thighs, that get rubbed when horse riding, are aching…

Compared to this, the slight ache in my arm, shoulder, and fingers from archery feels fine because Wei Ruo usually exercises her arms and shoulders by collecting herbs and doing farm work.

But areas like the inner thighs can’t be exercised while doing other things.

Wei Ruo regretted a little at this moment, she shouldn’t have been negligent last night! If she knew, she would have prepared her own medicinal bath pack! That would have relieved at least half of the soreness today! She wouldn’t look so pitiful then!

“Miss… wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t get out of bed?” Xiumei looked at Wei Ruo leaning against the wall and found it both pitiful and funny.

“Meimei, are you laughing at me? Are you? You don’t love me anymore, do you?”

“No no, really Miss, I’m not laughing! I promise I pity you more than I mock you!”

“You just let it slip! You did laugh at me!”

“Miss, I didn’t want to laugh, but it’s the first time I’ve seen you walk this way, I couldn’t help it. But believe me, I’m not mocking you! I think the way you walk is cute!”

“Hmph, bad Meimei!” Wei Ruo mumbled, “Laugh if you want, I’ll let you get away with it, but I can’t let others in this house see me like this, especially that stinky kid.”

Wei Ruo could already imagine how Wei Yilin would tease her seeing her like this.

It’s fine to be a laughingstock for her own people, but she couldn’t entertain those who wished her ill with her misfortune.

Wei Ruo thought for a moment and said to Xiumei, “I won’t be eating in the dining hall this afternoon or evening. Can you go and tell mother for me, just say that I got hurt from horse riding yesterday and it’s not convenient for me to move.”

Whether Lady Yun believes it or not didn’t matter, because going over to the dining hall is not possible anyway.

“Then Miss, where will you eat? Should we go to the small kitchen next door and cook something ourselves? Miss, you haven’t tasted the dried mushrooms that Madam Xu sent over, and also the sweet potato leaves we brought back last time are still fresh.” Xiumei suggested.

As Xiumei said this, Wei Ruo’s cravings started to stir.

She’s not particularly picky, but compared to the food she and Xiumei usually eat, the food made in the Wei Family’s main kitchen tastes rather bland.

It’s not that the cooks in the main kitchen have poor skills, but rather, they use far fewer condiments than they do.

“Let’s go next door!” Wei Ruo decided, even if she had to limp, she would go to the neighboring kitchen for food!

So Xiumei left for Cangyun Garden, informing Lady Yun about Wei Ruo’s condition.

Luckily, Wei Mingting had mentioned to her the night before that Wei Ruo, having tried horse riding and archery for the first time, had exerted herself a lot and would most likely be sore the next day, so she should take care of her more.

So, Lady Yun not only agreed to Wei Ruo not eating in the dining hall but also instructed the main kitchen to prepare an extra meal to be sent to Tingsong Garden for Wei Ruo.

After Xiumei returned to Tingsong Garden, she helped Wei Ruo get out of bed. When they were about to leave Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo had Xiumei check to confirm that nobody was around before they went out.

And then, suffering the pain, Wei Ruo hopped her way to the doorway of the neighboring pavilion, called Yingzhu Pavilion.

As soon as Xiaobei opened the door, Xiumei and Wei Ruo went in. Xiaobei didn’t even have time to ask a question.

“Young Miss, what happened to you?” Xiaobei asked.

“I’m wrecked.”

Wei Ruo said and looked toward the Octagonal Pavilion in the courtyard, and sure enough, Wei Jinyi was sitting there, having fully recovered from his illness.

Except for particularly windy days, he would sit inside the pavilion reading and writing.

Wei Jinyi was also looking at Wei Ruo at that moment.

Watching her hopping towards him, her posture was weird but somewhat cute.
