"Ah? What is my brother doing here? Isn't he preparing for the imperial examination? Shouldn’t he be too busy attending classes in the capital?" Xie Ying asked.

“Mother is not sure. Anyway, both your grandfather and your father permitted him, so he must be returned for something important.”

"Oh, okay. Regardless, I'll find Wei Qingruo and tell her that Mother has permitted us to plant a medicinal field. I'm going to start immediately!"

Xie Ying ran back to the class in a hurry, found Wei Ruo, and told her the news.

“Wei Qingruo, my mother has already agreed. When can we start working?" Xie Ying was very eager to try.

“We can do it right away." Wei Ruo likes doing things without delay.

“Then tell me quickly what we need to do and how to arrange our work, what things we need to acquire, and how many people we need." Xie Ying sat down next to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo took out a pen and paper and explained to Xie Ying while marking the key points on the paper.

Xie Ying listened very attentively and pointed out anything she didn't understand, with a serious and eager attitude.

After she’s done listening, she took the paper written by Wei Ruo and went to Mrs. Xie for some servants, and officially started to work with high efficiency.

###

Chu Lan was also highly efficient in handling affairs. In just two days, he sent a Mo mo to the Colonel's Mansion to discuss the matter in the south of the city with Wei Ruo.

Therefore, Wei Ruo took a leave from Mr. Wang, and stayed at home to arrange various matters.

Mr. Wang did not have any objections to this and also told Wei Ruo that what she was doing was also part of learning.

Yun Shi was shocked when she saw the Mo mo that was sent by Chu Lan. She intuitively knew that this Mo Mo’s background was not exactly the same as their Mo mo.

Plus, her husband had reminded her last night that this nobleman's status was extraordinary, and that she should pay attention to proper manners.

After Yun Shi heard that his surname was Chu, she already knew a thing or two. They couldn't afford to offend anyone in the royal family, even if they were someone from an unfavored prince's family.

Yun Shi respectfully took the Mo mo sent by Chu Lan to Tingsong Garden, and then instructed Wei Ruo a few words before leaving, to avoid delaying Wei Ruo's discussion with the Mo mo.

"Old servant has met Miss Wei." When Mo mo Qin saw Wei Ruo, she bowed with a respectful attitude. But her overall charisma did not diminish, and she looked particularly dignified.

Wei Ruo knew that most of the Mo mo sent by Chu Lan were from the palace, so they were different from Mo mo of ordinary families.

Although the Bo Zhongyi Mansion was an Earl's Mansion, even in its golden age, it still could not match the rules of the palace. Not to mention that Bo Zhongyi Mansion had long been in decline.

“No need to be so polite." Wei Ruo said. “Your young master sent you to assist me. Please don't pay too much attention to the rules. Just convey my message and let the workers complete the task well.”

“Miss Wei, please rest assured that the young master has already entrusted the task to this old servant. This old servant should do her utmost to assist Miss Wei wholeheartedly. Miss Wei can command this old servant to complete any task that needs to be done.

As long as it is related to the reclamation of the wasteland in the south of the city, this old servant will arrange the workers to complete it.”

Although Mo mo Qin had very strict rules, she had no problem with Wei Ruo and did not look for Wei Ruo’s faults because she was very clear about what she was going to do. Her master thought highly of her, so she would do exactly the same.

When Mo mo Qin was talking to Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan suddenly entered Tingsong Garden.

“Sister.” Wei Qingwan called sweetly as she approached Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan with a stern gaze.

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a cause*. After the incident of studying at the Xie family, Wei Qingwan had never come to Tingsong Garden. What kind of wind was blowing today, bringing her here?

*one doesn't visit a temple without a cause (idiom): to visit somebody with an ulterior motive (especially to ask for something) / having a hidden agenda.
