Wei Ruo continued, “Also, Lady Yuan has asked to stay a few more days in the Governnt City. Tomorrow morning, soone will co here to pick up. Can you imagine her reaction if were to share our conversation today word-for-word with her? How would she perceive the Wei Family? How would she view you, Madam Wei?”
“Are you threatening ?” cried Mrs. Yun in disbelief. Her obedient and well-behaved daughter from a few days earlier was now uttering such words!
“If you discussed with in a fair and straightforward manner, I wouldn’t resort to threats. But today, if I don’t threaten you, the fate awaiting is confinent, just as I was locked in the firewood room when my younger brother fell ill,” Wei Ruo explained coldly.
“This is rebellion, you’re rebelling!” Mrs. Yun could not contain her anger. “Rebelling against what? Against your bias and your injustice. If you have indeed done no wrong, why would I stand against you in this way?” Wei Ruo responded.
Mrs. Yun was so agitated she could barely breathe properly. She glared at Wei Ruo but found herself at loss for words to express her anger.
Staying calm and composed, Wei Ruo walked over to Wei Qingwan, who was kneeling on the floor, “I noticed you approaching on purpose that day, pretending to be unstable and bumping into , am I right?”
“Sister, what are you talking about?” Wei Qingwan refuted with a distressed look on her face.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about. I didn’t explicitly point you out in Tianqin Garden simply because I didn’t want to give people fodder for gossip. But you are indeed thoughtful in planning ahead and preparing excuses for yourself. You didn’t overtly push , rather you pretended to trip and knock into . This way, you’d have an excuse even if sothing went wrong.” “Sister, you are slandering , I didn’t do that! Tripping was not my intention! It was an accident, I accept any bla you attribute to due to this accident, but I can’t accept being accused of doing it on purpose!” Wei Qingwan continued to deny everything vehently.
As long as she doesn’t admit, Wei Ruo has no evidence to prove that she did it on purpose!
“Whether you admit it or not is of no concern to . Regardless, our rift has already been brought to the surface today. Don’t try to portray the image of a pitiable little sister around anymore, it disgusts .”
Wei Qingwan stared at Wei Ruo wide-eyed.
On any other day, Mrs. Yun would have strictly rebuked Wei Ruo for speaking to Wei Qingwan in this way.
But today, even Mrs. Yun had been on the receiving end of Wei Ruo’s fury. Why would she keep this from Wei Qingwan?
However, much as she wished to vent her anger, Mrs. Yun had to remain silent after hearing everything Wei Ruo had said earlier.
Neither from Lady Yuan nor from the matters related to the experintal fields in the south of the city, the Wei Family could afford no slip-ups.
Having said her piece, Wei Ruo disregarded Mrs. Yun and Wei Qingwan. She turned around and retreated to her own room.
That evening, Wei Ruo did not have any als with Mrs. Yun and Wei Qingwan. Instead, she and Xiui enjoyed a big pot of spicy hot pot in their room after Xiui made a trip to the kitchen to prepare the food.
In contrast, the atmosphere at Mrs. Yun and Wei Qingwan’s place was incredibly tense, and they scarcely ate anything due to the loss of appetite.
Wei Qingwan had tear-stained eyes even now, uncertain about how to face the future.
Ever since Lady Yuan publicly humiliated her, she felt as though she had been pushed into a deep abyss.
“Mother, why don’t I go and apologize to my sister?” Wei Qingwan ultimately couldn’t restrain herself after a long silence. “She will et Lady Yuan tomorrow. If Lady Yuan is willing to withdraw her words, there might still be hope.”
Mrs. Yun remained silent. She knew that there was feasibility in what Qingwan was suggesting, but given the heated argunt that had just ensued, how was she to bring it up?
Wei Qingwan continued, “Mother, it doesn’t matter if Sister misunderstands , nor does it matter if we have conflicts between us. What’s important is that we, the Wei family, unite as one. As long as sister is willing to plead on my behalf with Lady Yuan, I don’t mind admitting whatever or apologizing in whichever way.
Wei Qingwan had already decided to apologize to Wei Ruo. Compared to the likely marital difficulties in the future, she was willing to swallow this slight humiliation.
However, she did not want Mrs. Yun to think that she had indeed done sothing wrong. Therefore, she started off by painting a larger picture in front of Mrs. Yun.
Consequently, not only would Mrs. Yun not bla her for apologizing, but she would also admire her for her broad-mindedness and willingness to compromise.
Mrs. Yun gestured dismissively, “If you think it’s right, then go.”
Mrs. Yun was spent, physically and ntally drained from her confrontation with Wei Ruo.
Having received Mrs. Yun’s consent, Wei Qingwan rose to her feet and headed towards Wei Ruo’s room.
Inside, Wei Ruo and Xiui, who had just finished their al, were recalling interesting anecdotes about their countryside life:
“Rember how Brother Xiaoyong was chased seven or eight miles by Little Fatty for stealing just a few apricots? And then to hear that Little Fatty picked out the fruits himself and sent them over to you as an apology for teasing you during your childhood!” Xiui recounted, chuckling at the recollection of the amusing incident.
“What were you thinking, stealing fruits? I had already spoken to Fatty’s mother, you could’ve just asked her for them directly. The misunderstanding could’ve been avoided.”
“Little Fatty had already started arguing with Brother Xiaoyong before I even had the chance to explain. Little Fatty saw us picking the fruits and assud we were stealing them. I wanted to clarify the situation, but by the ti I could, they were already fighting and no amount of persuasion could diffuse the situation.”
“Ah, I really regret missing Brother Xiaoyong hiding in a hay bale while being licked by an old yellow cow!” Wei Ruo lanted.
Just as Wei Ruo and Xiui were reminiscing with laughter, Wei Qingwan knocked on the door. “Sister.”
As soon as she heard the word “sister,” the smile on Wei Ruo’s face disappeared.
Xiui pouted, “Didn’t Miss already tell her to stop pretending? Why is she coming again?”
“Probably she has co to her senses, realizes the gravity of the situation and wants to restore her reputation. But with no other ans, she could only co to ,” Wei Ruo smirked, already anticipating Wei Qingwan’s motive.
As expected, as soon as Wei Ruo finished speaking, Wei Qingwan’s apologetic voice could be heard from outside the door.
“Sister, I was wrong about today’s incident. It was my fault for bumping into you, causing you to step into the pond, and nearly bumping into Lady Yuan. All the mistakes are my doing!”
Imdiately after, a shadow outside the door lowered itself halfway. It seed like she had knelt down.
Wei Ruo remained silent while Wei Qingwan kneeling at the door continued with her apology: “I was scared and didn’t have the courage to admit what I did at the ti, fearing the consequences and punishnt. I was selfish and almost got you into trouble. After reflecting on it this afternoon, I deeply realize my mistake and swear it will never happen again.. I implore you to forgive just this once on account of my first offense!”
