“Naturally, she won’t get a good reputation. But there's no need to worry too much, Miss. The eldest young lady came back from the countryside and has picked up the lifestyle of rural folk. It would be great if she could learn some rules and not make a fool of herself in front of outsiders. So, it's absolutely impossible for her to be as knowledgeable and reasonable as you, Miss.”
"That's not true, my sister has her positive traits as well. Last time, her dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips won everyone's praise and affection." Wei Qingwan muttered.
"That's not a praise, those ladies just happened to be hungry and complimented her a little. She can't rely on dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips to build a lifelong reputation."
Mo mo Li showed great disdain for Wei Ruo being praised by everyone last time.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head slightly, and after listening to Nanny Li's evaluation of Wei Ruo, her mood improved a lot.
###
For several days, Wei Ruo was very busy arranging various preparations for developing the wasteland in the south of the city.
Every night, she always fell asleep immediately and once she slept, she would sleep until noon.
That night, Wei Ruo fell asleep early as usual.
As she was fast asleep, a rapid knock on the door woke her from her sleep.
She straightened up and headed towards the outer house. When she heard the door open, she knew that Xiumei had gone out to answer it.
After a while, Xiumei returned to the house.
"Miss, you are awake?"
"What's all the fuss about?"
“It was Xiaobei who lived in Yingzhu Garden who knocked on the door, saying that their young master is sick.”
"If someone is sick, he should go to find a doctor. What is he doing knocking on my courtyard door?" Wei Ruo was puzzled.
“Xiaobei said he went to the people in the mansion and asked them to help find a doctor, but no one responded to him. He had no choice but to come to our yard.”
Yingzhu Garden had no status in the Colonel's Mansion, so the servants dared to act recklessly and neglect them.
Although Wei Ruo had just returned to Wei's family not long ago, her status in the mansion was obviously higher than Wei Jinyi's. No matter what the servants thought about her, they never dared to give her a cold-shoulder in person.
She guessed Xiaobei came to Wei Ruo because he felt that Wei Ruo could help them by requesting a doctor.
"Meimei, help me bring my clothes here.”
Wei Ruo got out of bed, put on her clothes, and hurried towards the door.
Xiaobei was still waiting at the gate of Tingsong Garden. When he saw Wei Ruo coming, he quickly knelt down and begged: "Miss, I beg you, please help my young master! He is burning all over his body, if this continues, his life will be in danger! If you are the one who requests it, they may agree to hire a doctor for my young master."
Xiaobei also had no choice. He needed a Mo mo in charge to find a doctor, but he couldn't even meet the Mo mo.
And the master of this house had not returned to the mansion for several days because he was busy fighting against the Japanese pirates.
After much thought, he could only think of Wei Ruo, the eldest young lady who had delivered something to his young master twice in a row, the only person left in this house who could possibly help his young master!
“Alright, I understand. Please get up first, and take me to see your young master.”
“Okay, okay, Miss, come with me.”
Xiaobei led Wei Ruo quickly back to Yingzhu Garden.
Entering the main room in the courtyard, Wei Ruo saw Wei Jinyi lying unconscious on the bed.
He, who already had a pale complexion now seems pallor, as white as paper.
Wei Ruo reached out and touched Wei Jinyi's forehead, it was burning hot.
"Your young master has been sick for a few days, right?" Wei Ruo asked.
