Wei Qingwan strained for a long time, but was only able to open the bow a small amount. The arrow she had placed on the bow fell to the ground due to her trembling hands.

Wei Yichen picked up the fallen arrow for Wei Qingwan as he comforted her, “Don’t rush, Wanwan. Archery is difficult, and father’s bows are all quite hard, so it’s normal that you can’t open them. Your first time trying looks very similar to eldest brother’s first time.”

“I’ll try again.” Wei Qingwan once again drew the bow.

This time, she used even more strength, and then let out a light gasp. The bow and arrow in her hand fell to the ground again.

“Wanwan, what’s wrong?” Wei Yichen hurriedly checked Wei Qingwan’s hands.

Wei Mingting, who was initially instructing Ruoruo, came to Wei Qingwan’s side after he heard noise. He examined her condition and his eyes also revealed deep concern.

“I’m alright, it’s me who is useless. I couldn’t draw the bow, and my hand got scratched by the bowstring,” Wei Qingwan reproached herself.

Wei Yichen opened Wei Qingwan’s hand and saw a deep red mark left by the bowstring on the finger she used to pull the string. Although the skin wasn’t broken, the red mark stood out vividly against Wei Qingwan’s fair, delicate skin.

Wei Mingting’s brows furrowed, then he said to Wei Yichen, “Yichen, go get some medicine to apply on Wanwan’s hand.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Wei Yichen hurriedly left to find the ointment.

Mrs. Yun and Wei Yilin also rushed over.

Seeing Wei Qingwan’s injury made them both very concerned and anxious.

“Wanwan, let me see! How did you get yourself into this condition? Stop practicing archery, your hands aren’t made for this,” Mrs. Yun quickly said. “Yes, sister, can we do something else?” Wei Yilin suggested.

“I’m sorry… It’s my fault…” Wei Qingwan lowered her head, feeling ashamed.

“What are you talking about? What does this have to do with competency? Archery simply isn’t something a girl should do,” Mrs. Yun said.

“Don’t worry, sister. When I master horse riding and archery, I’ll protect you!” Wei Yilin pounded his chest and declared.

Wei Qingwan’s eyes reddened, “Thank you, Yilin.”

She immediately turned to Wei Mingting and Mrs. Yun and said, “I’m sorry, father and mother. I’m alright, please don’t worry. I’ve been undutiful.”

“It’s normal for parents to worry about their children. Where does the notion of being undutiful even come from?” Mrs. Yun said.

Wei Mingting nodded in agreement with his wife’s words.

“Alright, stop crying. Come and rest in the carriage with me,” Mrs. Yun said as she took Wei Qingwan away.

Wei Yilin followed behind them, like a little bodyguard.

When Wei Qingwan left, Wei Mingting returned to Ruoruo’s side.

Suddenly, he had a thought and looked at Ruoruo’s right hand.

He noticed that the fingers she used to draw the bow also had fresh red marks on them.

What’s more, because Ruoruo shot many more arrows than Qingwan did, her hand had more, more noticeable red marks.

“Ruoruo, stop practicing for now,” Wei Mingting immediately halted her.

After Ruoruo put down her bow, Wei Mingting asked, “You’ve got many red marks on your hand, why didn’t you tell me?”

Ruoruo glanced at her own hand, and calmly answered, “It hasn’t broken the skin, it’s not a real injury.”

From her perspective, such minor injuries were nothing at all.
