The two of them were at a loss for a response.

Wei Ruo continued to analyze the situation for them, her expression serious as she encouraged them to be open-minded:

“Always think on the bright side, change your way of thinking. Mother once said that we are equally important to her, so whether it is who is older or who is younger, it’s all the same, and Qingwan has also realized your wish from that day. So you do not need to be upset anymore.”

Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were both taken aback, these were their own words, Wei Ruo was just repeating them.

Wei Ruo then said to Wei Qingwan: “Actually, the first time you saw me, you called me sister. I think you must have accepted me as your sister in your heart. So, I believe you must be looking forward to me being your sister.”

“Yes… yes… sister is correct…” Wei Qingwan responded somewhat reluctantly.

Once Wei Ruo had said all of these things, Wei Qingwan found herself with tears in her eyes, yet unable to let them fall.

Then Wei Ruo handed a handkerchief to Wei Qingwan: “Dry your tears.”

Wei Qingwan took the handkerchief that Wei Ruo handed over, held it in her hand but dared not to use it.

It was clean but somewhat coarse and had faded from washing, making it clear that it had been used many times.

After Wei Ruo spoke as she did, both Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan stopped crying. Yun Shi then spoke with them for a while before bidding them go rest.

After Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan left, the head maid, Cuiping, presented a gift list to Yun Shi.

Along with the response letter from Wei Ruo’s grandfather, there were also some gifts for Wei Ruo.

The letter stated that they were to compensate Wei Ruo for her hardships over the years.

Yun Shi, considering the gifts and thinking of the tearful Wei Qingwan, decided after a moment’s thought to divide the gifts into two parts, one to be sent to Wei Ruo’s Tingsong Garden and the other to Wei Qingwan’s Wangmei Garden.

She specifically instructed Cuiping to only mention that the gifts were from their grandfather, without explaining the reason.

Cuiping did as instructed, and in no time, two large boxes full of gifts were received at both Wei Ruo’s Tingsong Garden and Wei Qingwan’s Wangmei Garden.

Following Yun Shi’s instructions, Cuiping only mentioned that the gifts were from their grandfather, nothing more.

Soon, Wei Ruo received several large wooden boxes delivered by Yun Shi’s servants.

The boxes were quite large and heavy, but when opened, they were mostly filled with bronze wares, taking up space and weight, but not very valuable.

Xiumei, following Wei Ruo’s instructions, placed all the delivered items into Wei Ruo’s room to show respect to their grandfather.

While arranging the items, Xiumei curiously asked, “Miss, didn’t you say our family is very prestigious, a family of meritorious service, very influential, then why do these items appear to be inferior to the ones you have?”

“Because you can’t just look at the surface. The Wei family is untouchable in the eyes of the He family, but only those who are actually in it know how rich they really are. The so-called family of merit cannot always be wealthy and prominent, no matter how substantial their assets are, they can eventually run out.”

“Hmm.” Xiumei nodded in agreement.
