The next day, when Wei Ruo was preparing to go out, she had just stepped out of the door of Tingsong Garden when she ran into Mo mo Li.

"Why is the eldest young lady going out again?" Mo mo Li asked with a smiling face.

To Wei Ruo, this smile did not seem friendly at all.

"Do I need to explain to you why I’m going out?" Wei Ruo retorted.

After the last incident, Mo mo Li had kept a low profile for quite a while. Today, for some unknown reason, she had come looking for trouble again.

"Of course, the eldest young lady doesn’t need to explain anything to a servant like me, but it’s still better to inform Madam." Mo mo Li reminded her.

"I’ve gone out so many times already—do you think I need you to teach me how to handle things?"

"Don’t be angry, eldest young lady. This old servant is just being kind. After all, things are different now. Back then, you were carrying out orders, busy with matters in the south of the city, and there were even important people sent to help you. But now it’s different—everyone knows that matter has nothing to do with you anymore."

Mo mo Li’s lips curled into a smile.

Wei Ruo finally understood why Mo mo Li, who had been quiet for so long, was suddenly troubling her again today. It seemed Mo mo Li thought she had lost a major backer and dared not behave arrogantly at home anymore.

Indeed, last time in the city, Wei Ruo had relied on the south of the city to openly challenge Yun Shi.

Understanding Mo mo Li’s thoughts, Wei Ruo smiled brightly. "So, you’re here to laugh at me on behalf of your mistress, is that it? You and your mistress sure know how to pick your timing—you only show up when Father isn’t home."

It had been a few days since the incident. The fact that Mo mo Li managed to hold back until now to mock her was likely because Father had been coming home daily over the past few days, and her second brother had also been around.

Now, her second brother was gone, and since the war started, Father had barely been home and had no time to manage household matters.

"What is the eldest young lady saying? You’re being too suspicious of others. This old servant is only concerned for you. I hope the eldest young lady can properly follow the rules and respect her parents. After all, when you first came to the residence, I was the one who taught you the rules, so I have a responsibility for your behavior." Mo mo Li wore a confident, smug smile.

"Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed." Wei Ruo chuckled lightly, then turned to Xiumei and said, "Meimei, if there’s another dog blocking the road, help your young lady drive it away*."

*It's a sarcastic and disdainful remark, implying that the person (like Mo mo Li) is as bothersome as a stray dog in the way.

"Alright, young lady, no problem!" Xiumei raised her right hand and made a fist.

Mo mo Li let out a cold snort, then stepped back a couple of steps to make way for Wei Ruo.

As Wei Ruo walked past her, the smile on Mo mo Li’s lips was full of disdain.

When Wei Ruo reached the main entrance, she happened to encounter Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan, who were also heading out.

The timing was just perfect.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan asked in surprise, “Is sister going out as well? Isn’t the matter in the south of the city already finished?”

Wei Ruo smiled. So that’s it. Mo mo Li wasn’t just rudely blocking her way to throw in a few unpleasant remarks, it was so that Wei Ruo would bump into Yun Shi on her way out.

Yun Shi also turned to Wei Ruo and asked, “That’s right, Ruo’er. Haven’t you stopped handling matters in the south of the city?”

“I’m going to deal with something else.” Wei Ruo replied.

“What other matter?” Yun Shi frowned.
