They left in such haste that Wei Ruo didn’t even have the chance to ask them any further questions.
As soon as they departed, the once lively residence instantly quieted down, leaving only Wei Jinyi, Wei Ruo, Xiaobei, and Xiumei behind.
"They seemed to be in a hurry," Wei Ruo remarked, noting the abruptness of their departure.
"They have matters to attend to," Wei Jinyi replied.
"Oh." Wei Ruo then looked at her brother. "What about you, Second Brother? Do you have things to take care of as well?"
"I don’t have anything urgent at the moment. Does the household know you’ve come out today?" Wei Jinyi asked.
"They do. Don’t worry, Second Brother. I always find a good excuse before leaving. The family can’t really keep me under strict watch anymore," Wei Ruo replied.
First, she had Madam Yuan as a convenient excuse. Second, Mo mo Zhang helped cover for her. Third, Wei Mingting indulged her and allowed her to do as she pleased outside, making it difficult for Yun Shi to control her.
With all these factors combined, Wei Ruo now had much more freedom than when she had first returned to the Colonel’s Mansion.
"Good, that’s a relief," Wei Jinyi said, reassured by her response.
Wei Ruo then took a closer look around the courtyard—a simple, single-entry house with nothing particularly remarkable about it.
She asked, "Second Brother, have you been staying here lately?"
Wei Jinyi said, "Mm. It has been a few days already."
Wei Ruo said, "Does Second Brother know that we are moving to the prefectural city?"
Wei Jinyi: "I know."
Wei Ruo: "Then, can I visit Second Brother often in the future?"
She did not ask whether Wei Jinyi would return to the new Colonel's Residence—she was not that foolish. Whatever her second brother was doing now was clearly something that could not be known by the family.
If they found out, it would take endless explanations, and the rest of the family might not even understand or approve.
So, even if they lived in the same city, her second brother would not return home.
Wei Ruo’s question made Wei Jinyi hesitate.
Seeing the bright, expectant look in her eyes, he felt that rejecting her would hurt her.
But if he agreed, he feared that what he was involved in might bring danger to her.
After all, the matter he was planning now could very well lead to disaster for everyone involved.
Seeing his hesitation, Wei Ruo did not press further.
"I understand, Second Brother. Don’t worry—I will keep today’s events a secret for you, and I won’t come looking for you again," Wei Ruo said.
With that, she turned to leave with Xiumei.
"Wait…" Wei Jinyi quickly caught up to her and grabbed her hand.
His intention had been to stop her from leaving, but as soon as he held her hand, he froze for a moment.
Realizing that he had acted out of line, he immediately let go.
Though it was just an instant, he clearly remembered the feel of her delicate, soft hand.
Wei Ruo turned back to look at him.
"It’s not that I don’t want to see you—it’s just that this place is not safe," Wei Jinyi explained somewhat anxiously.
"Mm, I understand. I wasn’t blaming Second Brother. The moment you hesitated, I guessed the reason. I don’t want to make things difficult for you," Wei Ruo replied.
A ripple of emotion stirred in Wei Jinyi’s heart. After a moment of thought, he said, "I will find an appropriate opportunity to see you."
Perhaps it was not the wisest choice, but it was what he truly wished for.
