"Yes, a very good friend." Wei Ruo replied.
Seeing the smile spreading on Wei Ruo's face, revealed the unordinary relationship between her and that person.
"I can help you search. If there is any, I'll have Xiaobei bring it to you." Wei Jinyi said.
"Okay, thank you second brother~" Wei Ruo didn't hide the happiness on her face at all.
Asking Wei Jinyi was just a stroke of luck, but she didn't expect that he could help her.
Wei Jinyi looked at Wei Ruo and slowly said: "Don't overwork yourself."
"I know, second brother. I care about my health, and I am sensible!" Wei Ruo said, reaching over to grab Wei Jinyi's hand.
At the moment of contact, Wei Jinyi quickly pulled away.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me check your pulse. Didn't I give you the Qi tonifying pills? I want to see how effective they are, and how I can improve the formula later on. Since I’m currently making medicine, I can make yours too." Wei Ruo replied.
After hearing the explanation, Wei Jinyi realized that he had overreacted.
Then he put his hand back in front of Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo placed his finger on Wei Jinyi's wrist and said: "Hmm, you are getting better. I'll give you twenty more pills this time, and you can continue with the ongoing treatment."
“Um.”

At the capital city, Bo Zhongyi Mansion.
After several days, the news from Xingshan County finally reached the capital. After receiving the letter, the family’s elder praised it several times.
The elder was sixty eight years old this year, with a thin body, gray hair, and a gray beard.
In front of him stood his eldest son, Wei Minghong, and his second son, Wei Mingyong.
Wei Minghong had a round appearance, with a slightly overweight figure, and his facial features were 70% similar to those of his father.
Wei Mingyong was thinner and had a shrewd look.
"Look at the letters your third brother wrote to us." The elder handed the letters to his two sons.
The eldest son Wei Minghong took the letter, and Wei Mingyong came up to read it with him.
After reading it, both of them showed a happy expression.
"Father, do you say that the third brother has made great contributions in improving the wasteland and gained the appreciation of the Seventh Prince?" Wei Minghong quickly asked.
"It's uncertain whether or not he'll be able to gain the favor of the Seventh Prince, but at least his contribution has been recognized by the Seventh Prince. So it's a good thing nevertheless." Said the elder.
"That's really great!" Wei Minghong looked excited, "I've heard that the Seventh Prince is the most promising candidate for the Crown Prince. If we can gain the Seventh Prince’s favor, then our family will hopefully be able to keep this title!"
Wei Mingyong had a question at this moment: "Father, the third brother said in the letter that this was done by our niece Wei Qingruo whom we have not yet met. But she has lived in the countryside for the past few years and seems to lack skills. How could she have done that?"
"Hmph! Why not? She is my legitimate granddaughter! The legitimate heir of our family! Besides, a skill that people learn in the countryside is obviously farming! You two are just short-sighted, and now you know, those who grew up in the countryside can also do impressive work!"
When deciding on the order of the two granddaughters, he asked his two sons for their opinions. The two sons had no objections, but they both felt that the one that had just been brought back might not be able to meet their standards, and it would be difficult for her to be acknowledged by everyone. Her being the eldest daughter might bring disgrace to their family.
Why not let that fake daughter continue to represent the Wei family in the public, at least it wouldn't be embarrassing.
It was the elder who decided to let his own biological granddaughter be the eldest granddaughter. If their family has another granddaughter older than her, it would be fine. However, letting someone else from another family to be the eldest granddaughter made the old man feel uncomfortable.
