“I fear that one day, father, mother, and brother will all abandon me like my grandfather did. The mere thought of that day coming makes my heart feel as if it’s being scorched by fire.”
Upon hearing this, Nurse Li quickly comforted, “Miss, you don’t have to worry about these things. Their affection for Miss Ruoruo is due to blood ties, but their affection towards you has been forged over the past decade or so, which is true and unerasable by anyone!”
“Miss Ruoruo has been living in the countryside for over a decade with no formal education and upbringing, she’s been able to hide it well these few days since entering the manor, but it will eventually reveal itself. Right now, they are just newly reunited and owe her a sense of guilt, Madam and Young Master naturally tolerate her, but as time passes, this tolerance will be worn away.”
Nurse Li analyzed the pros and cons for Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan shook her head, “If she were rude and barbaric as you say, I wouldn’t be as concerned, but I’ve seen Wei Qingruo’s demeanor at the dinner table and it doesn’t resemble a typical countrywoman’s crudeness, the situation you described may not happen…”
Nurse Li showed a worried face, “Miss, you must not always think in the worst direction, rest assured, I’ve seen Miss Ruoruo’s true colors when teaching her manners these few days, I’m sure her docile appearance in front of Master and Madam is all pretend.”
“Really?” Wei Qingwan’s heart couldn’t help but flourish with joy.
“Absolutely!”
“Nurse, I know I shouldn’t wish ill on my sister, but I’m truly too frightened… now I’m like duckweed in the pond, the slightest incautious move, and I don’t know where I will drift to…”
“I understand, Miss. You have a kind heart and wouldn’t have such thoughts about others if you hadn’t suffered so much recently. Rest assured, there are some things the old slave can handle for you, you don’t have to worry or be upset.”
“Mmm…”
Reassured by Nurse Li, Wei Qingwan felt somewhat better.
She then went to sleep under the care of Nurse Li and Cuihe.

Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went to find Madam Yun to talk about her intention of going outside.
Just planting some crops in the courtyard was far from enough for Wei Ruo.
Firstly, more experience was needed for her spatial upgrade; secondly, she needed to earn more capital for her own survival to ensure she could survive after leaving the Wei family.
Therefore, Wei Ruo now needed to find ways to expand her own enterprises, and first, she had to go out.
As a lady from a big family, she couldn’t just go out casually, she must get permission from the person in charge of the family to go out.
“Where do you want to go, Ruoruo?” Madam Yun asked patiently instead of getting angry.
“I want to go around the county town and look at the villages and farmlands there, would that be convenient?”
“Visiting mountain villages nearby is no problem, but you can only go to the northwest. You can’t go to the southeast of the city, and certainly not the seaside. Those damned Japanese pirates could show up at any time to stir up trouble. Here’s an idea, our family owns a terraced hill in the north of the city, you can go and check it out.” Madam Yun explained.
“Alright, that suits me.”
“Shall I accompany you after checking the account book?”
“There is no need to bother, I can go there myself.”
“That is not appropriate, Ruoruo, you are a lady now, and you can no longer run around casually. Even though the inside of the city is not as dangerous as the outside, it is still not safe enough for a girl.”
“Then mother can find someone to accompany me, there is no need to trouble yourself to accompany me. Mother has a whole family to manage, I should not delay you further or make you tired.”
To have Madam Yun accompany her would inconvenient her plans.
Madam Yun: “Ruoruo is really thoughtful, aware of what affects your mother.”
