In front of Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo didn’t show her negative emotions, but with Wei Jinyi, she didn’t hide her unhappiness too much.
As she spoke, Wei Ruo turned and walked toward Wei Jinyi.
Seeing Wei Ruo’s somewhat dejected expression, Wei Jinyi couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest.
Looking at her, he wasn’t sure how to comfort her.
"Let’s go talk in the pavilion."
Wei Ruo followed Wei Jinyi to the pavilion, where he asked Xiaobei to make her a cup of honey pomelo tea.
"Ruo'er," Wei Jinyi started, but awkwardly didn’t know how to continue.
"Second Brother, why are you so nervous?" Wei Ruo asked, noticing his behavior and finding it a bit amusing.
Because I’m nervous about you.
He said this to himself.
"I’m not good at comforting people. Tell me, what can I do to make you feel a bit better?" Wei Jinyi asked sincerely.
"Just talking with me like this is enough. Although I’m in a bad mood, it’s not that serious," Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Jinyi furrowed his brows, closely studying her expression, as if trying to assess whether she was truly not that upset.
With one hand propping up her chin, Wei Ruo mumbled, "From the start, I didn’t improve the wasteland south of the city to seek fame or achievements. It just happened that I crossed paths with the Seventh Prince, and things escalated from there. So, I wasn’t really expecting any rewards or honors. It’s not enough to make me feel too bad."
"But I’m still in a bad mood because I don’t like when others take advantage of my work, claiming credit for what I’ve accomplished while leaving me behind."
Wei Jinyi remained silent, acting as a quiet listener.
Wei Ruo continued to mutter, "I have reason to suspect that Chu Lan deliberately concealed this from the emperor so he could claim more credit for himself, highlighting his importance as the Seventh Prince! I know that the princes have been fiercely competing for power recently, and he’s probably seizing every opportunity to enhance his position."
"This scoundrel—I already disliked him. Last time, when he kept his promise and rewarded me with a hundred gold pieces, I thought he had some conscience, and my dislike for him dropped to nine points. But now, it's back to a full ten."
Whenever Wei Ruo thought about Chu Lan becoming the emperor in the future, she felt extremely displeased. She really wished heaven would send someone to snatch the throne from Chu Lan, making him cry!
Of course, Wei Ruo knew this was unlikely. According to the original storyline, Chu Lan was destined to become the crown prince and eventually ascend the throne.
Although Wei Qingwan's storyline had changed, it probably wouldn't affect Chu Lan's career path too much.
After all, the original novel was a female protagonist's perspective on the competition between women and houses and didn’t touch upon the male lead's court struggle.
In the original plot, after Wei Qingwan met Chu Lan in Xingshan County, the two fell in love.
Later, when trouble struck the Wei family, and Wei Mingting died in battle, Chu Lan took Wei Qingwan to the capital.
