"You are the eldest sister. Generally speaking, the monthly income of the eldest son and eldest daughter in the family should be more than their younger siblings. This is a rule. Wanwan is a sensible child, and she will not have any objections if she finds out." Yun Shi said.
Yun Shi firmly believed that with Wei Qingwan's nature, she would not mind such matters.
"That's right. Sister Qingwan is so kind that she won't be sad about such things." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
“Yes.” Yun Shi nodded, “Then you can continue doing what you are doing, Mother will go back to Cangyun Garden first.”
“Okay.” Wei Ruo smiled and sent Yun Shi away.
After Yun Shi left, Xiumei couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, I found that your ability to talk indirectly is getting better and better now!”
Wei Ruo sighed: “What can I do, I need to do it. Ever since I became the eldest miss of this Colonel's Mansion, if I want to speak my mind and reason with others, I can't say directly what I want as I did before.”
"If I tell her that I don't like Wei Qingwan, and I don't want to give my things to Wei Qingwan, I will definitely be scolded; either that I don't care about sisterhood, or that I don't have the eldest sister's demeanor."
“But as long as I use etiquette to say things, I can give people a convincing argument. Although I made up some stories mentioning Yingying, I think she will also support me in doing so.
Otherwise she would not have arranged for the butler to send me a gift today and specifically asked me to check it out in person.”
Xie Ying noticed that her clothes didn't fit well and felt that the material was poor. Of course, Wei Ruo made up this statement.
The purpose of this was to use these reasons to stop Yun Shi, so that Yun Shi couldn't continue to ask her for things.
“But Miss, what if Madam was not convinced by you and still insisted on taking your things to the second young lady?” Xiumei asked.
“Then I'll burn the stuff in a fire and no one will want it. Don't try to force me to give things to people I don't like!” Wei Ruo replied.
Xiumei laughed out loud, and then asked: "Miss, do we still need to prepare a gift for the Xie family?"
"Not for the time being. Their gifts are valuable. The prescription I gave to their young lady is not an ordinary recipe, so they didn't suffer losses. Moreover, they have already returned my gift. If I return it again, what’s the use of it?
Remember that when sisters are sincere, they will stand up when there is a need. They don't remember how much they have gained or lost." Wei Ruo said.
“Well, Miss is right.”

After leaving Tingsong Garden, Yun Shi ordered to give Wei Ruo an increase of monthly pocket money and even invited the people from the clothing shop to the mansion to measure Wei Ruo's size and prepare new clothes.
The news quickly spread to Wangmei Garden.
Wei Qingwan's face turned pale.
Mother not only didn't get one cloud brocade from Wei Ruo to make new clothes for her, but also increased Wei Ruo's monthly pocket money. What's going on?
If Wei Ruo didn't agree to give out the cloud brocade satin to make new clothes for her, Mother should have blamed Wei Ruo for not being sensible. Why did she not only not blame her, but also give her a reward?
"Mo mo, what exactly is going on? Why did Mother suddenly raise my sister's monthly pocket money? Is it because she has a good relationship with Miss Xie?" Wei Qingwan asked Mo mo Li.
Mo mo Li didn't know the answer to this question either. After that incident last time, Madam had distanced herself from her a lot, and she turned to Mo mo Zhang for any important matters.
“I did underestimate Wei Qingruo, and now it seems she does have some skills.” Mo mo Li gritted her teeth.
