"Since Eldest brother let me stay at Tingsong Garden, I already wanted to give you an embroidered purse, but I'm not skilled in embroidery. Coincidentally, my younger sister Qingwan gave one to me, so I'll use her gift for you." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo smiled brightly, then turned around and left.
She didn't care if it's appropriate to give her gift to someone else. Anyway, she was a girl from the countryside, there would be some unspoken rules she didn't know. They would understand her, right?
In short, she did not dare to accept Wei Qingwan's gifts. Who knows if she is trying to trick her? Although she didn't expect Wei Qingwan to plan anything malicious with a small purse, as long as she didn't give her a chance, her plan would definitely fail.
Besides, how could she use something like a purse to nullify her hatred after slandering her and wrongfully accusing her?
When Wei Yichen saw what he was holding in his hand, he wanted to call Wei Ruo back, but Wei Ruo had already left.
"Wanwan, is this a purse that you want to give to Ruo’er?" Wei Yichen asked Wei Qingwan.
"Well, maybe I didn't do a good job, so sister doesn't like it……" Wei Qingwan murmured.
"That’s Ruo’er personality and she has only been in the mansion for a while. She is straightforward in her actions, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. Wanwan, don't think too much." Wei Yichen said, thinking that it was just a small matter.
The two younger sisters had completely different personalities, but they were both very good girls and the two jewels of the Wei family.
"Yes...... I know......" Wei Qingwan hurriedly said, her downcast face looked unsightly.
"Eldest brother will keep the purse, thank you, Wanwan. Although Wei Yichen didn't need this embroidered purse, it was the intention of the two sisters that must be cherished.

At the capital, Bo Zhongyi’s Mansion.
The news of Wei Mingting's promotion quickly spread to the capital, and it came directly from the capital’s center, earlier than the letter sent from Xingshan County.
Hearing this good news, everyone in Bo Zhongyi's mansion was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
"Third brother is great! This is a happy event, a great occasion, a great joy for our entire Earl mansion!"
The old man was very happy, with a face full of joy that had not been shown in a long time.
It has been three years now, and finally his third son has been promoted again! His heart can finally calm down!
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong both had smiles on their faces.
"Father, this is a great occasion, we don't have to worry about our third brother being fired." Wei Mingyong said with a smile.
"Father, for such a big happy event, shouldn't we make a trip to Xingshan County to personally express our congratulations to the third brother?" Wei Minghong asked.
The old man objected: "There's no need to go in person. Although you are only doing a simple task now, it’s still counted as a responsibility. How can you neglect it? Are you not afraid that someone will spot your mistake?"
The old man continued: "If you two brothers are really happy for your younger brother, show your sincerity. As brothers, you should also prepare some gifts for him. Xingshan County is bitter cold, and I heard that the harvest there is not good this year. It can be foreseen that there will be a shortage of grain before the autumn harvest. As brothers, you should consider more about your younger brother’s situation."
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong looked a bit embarrassed. They had planned to take this opportunity to go to Xingshan County, but unfortunately, they did not succeed. Their father even asked them to spend their money.
After hesitating for a while, Wei Mingyong spoke up first: "Father is right. I will return home and prepare now. My third brother has been promoted, so the gift should be appropriate."
