Wei Qingwan had to swallow and hold back all the lines she had prepared to apologize and beg for mercy to Wei Ruo.
Wei Qingwan only thought about that and she couldn't follow the plan anymore.
At this time, Mo mo Zhang came over to pass on a message to Yun on behalf of Wei Ruo: "Madam, the eldest young lady said that she was upset when she thought about what happened today. Why does she have to be locked up when she did nothing wrong? The second daughter made such a big mistake today, but she didn't get any punishment at all. She can't understand it, and the more she thinks about it, the more her head hurts."
Wei Qingwan's expression stiffened, and her heart became even more convinced: Wei Qingruo must have done it intentionally. Any headache or heartache was just a way she came up with to harm her! It’s just that she didn't know how she got the doctor from Baoshan Hall to help her lie.
Yun Shi frowned and looked at Wei Qingwan in front of her. She was also angry with Wanwan today, but later on, because of Ruo’er's commotion, she got distracted.
Considering the heavy burden that the eldest daughter was currently carrying, if she really doesn’t have good health, the Wei family wouldn't be able to explain it to others.
“Wanwan, today at Tianqin Garden, you have made several mistakes. During our stay in the city for the next two days, you are not allowed to step out of your room. Stay in your room and write down your repentance properly!”
"Mother..." Wei Qingwan looked at Yun Shi in disbelief.
This was the first time her mother had punished her with confinement.
Yun Shi didn't give Wei Qingwan more time to think and react. Fearing that she wouldn't be able to resist her daughter's tears and regret it, she immediately ordered Mo mo Zhang and Cuiping to take Wei Qingwan to her room.
###
The next morning, the carriage sent by Mrs. Yuan to pick up Wei Ruo appeared at the gate of the Xie family's villa on time.
Yun Shi watched nervously as Wei Ruo got into the carriage and left.
In the morning, she asked her about it and she said that last night she took a bowl of medicine, so her mood and her symptoms were much better today.
Wei Qingwan, who was locked in the room, couldn't go out. She could only hear the commotion outside and knew that Wei Ruo was going out.
She knew that Wei Qingruo was pretending! Otherwise, how could she go out with ease today when she was in pain yesterday?
But she had no way to deal with Wei Qingruo. Now her mother believes that Wei Qingruo is really sick because of anger. If she says more, it will only arouse her mother's suspicion.
What made Wei Qingwan even more uncomfortable was that if Wei Ruo went to see Mrs. Yuan, she didn't know what she would say to her.
Mrs. Yuan's words yesterday had already plunged her into the abyss. She was really afraid that Wei Ruo would say something else that would make it completely difficult for her reputation to recover!
Wei Ruo took a carriage to the Prefectural Magistrate's Residence.
Mrs. Yuan was not in Tianqin Garden today, but in the Prefectural Magistrate's Residence.
The residence of the Prefectural Magistrate was allocated by the Imperial Court and was not as magnificent and large as Tianqin Garden, but it was still much larger than the Colonel's Mansion.
Under the guidance of the maid, Wei Ruo walked through the corridor garden and entered Mrs. Yuan's courtyard.
Entering the residence, besides Mrs. Yuan, there was also the man in brocade clothes that Wei Ruo had seen that day. That was Lord Yuan, the Prefectural Magistrate.
It seemed that he was specifically waiting for Wei Ruo
"Miss Wei!" Lord Yuan got up, made a bow with both hands and bowed deeply to Wei Ruo.
"Lord Yuan, such a salutation, I don’t deserve it!" Wei Ruo hurriedly said.
The other party was the magistrate, and she was a common woman, so his bow was indeed a bit too much.
