Did not know if it was because Wei Ruo and her nanny were seeing each other too often, Yun Shi called her and said: "Ruo'er, it's good that you and your nanny have a good relationship, but you need to be more careful. It's not good for your reputation if you communicate with her too frequently."
"Understood, I will keep it in mind."
Wei Ruo did not argue, she had guessed that something like this would happen.
As a young lady from an official family, it would be disrespectful to have close contact with her former nanny all day long.
Fortunately, the carrier pigeon had already been arranged properly, and most of the future matters could be communicated through the carrier pigeon. So there was no need for the nanny to personally go to the Colonel’s Mansion.
Yun Shi nodded in satisfaction, then said to Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, the war has been getting very serious recently. The County head magistrate's wife organized all the ladies to go to Huafa Temple in the north of the city tomorrow to pray for the soldiers. You will go with me."
"Do we have to go? Is it okay not to go?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Doesn't Ruo'er like to go out a lot? Why don't you want to go?”
"I like to go out, but I do not like to socialize, and I'm not skilled in those things." Wei Ruo did not hide what she really thinks.
It was exhausting to think of having her mediating with such a large group of madams and young ladies.
Yun Shi said earnestly: "Ruo’er, you are not the same you used to be, so these social exchanges are essential. What's more, I have been talking to the County head magistrate’s wife recently about wanting you to go to the County head magistrate's residence to study with the young lady there, just like Wanwan.
This time you will go with me so that the County head magistrate's wife can meet you, to show them what kind of person you are, and dispel their doubts about you."
Yun Shi didn't say what their specific doubts were, but Wei Ruo knew about it. Naturally, she was worried that she was too vulgar and not qualified to go to school with other young ladies.
"Does Mother think that I can dispel their doubts about me? Are you not afraid that I will behave badly?" Wei Ruo asked.
“Ruo’er has been performing very well these days. Although you are still not close to being well-educated and sensible, you already behaved well. Mother is very satisfied. One thing you need to pay attention to is not to mention about you and Wanwan’s switched matters to others. Just say that you have been raised in the countryside due to your weak health and recently returned to your parents. This will be good for you and Wanwan.” Yun sighed.
"Do I have to go?"
"You have to go." Yun Shi's attitude was firm. "Ruo'er, be obedient. You will have to get used to these things sooner or later."
Wei Ruo sighed and reluctantly accepted the arrangement: " I understand.”
In the original book, Yun Shi did not want the original protagonist to go at first. It was the original protagonist who insisted on going and Yun Shi could not help but take her there because she was too loud.
Now it was the other way around. She did not want to go, but Yun Shi wanted her to go.
Wei Ruo found it a bit funny. What exactly was the problem? Why did the final result still develop in the direction of the original plot?
Wei Ruo remembered that in the original book, the prayer this time was a huge drama.
First of all, as the female supporting role, during this trip, due to her poor behavior and demeanor, she became a laughingstock for the madams and young ladies, which also made Yun Shi lose face.
Secondly, Wei Qingwan, as the female lead, met the male lead for the first time at the Fahua Temple where she prayed.
Wei Ruo pondered and went back to Tingsong Garden.
