Chapter 71: Dragon Boat Festival trip (1)

Meanwhile, at Wangmei Garden.

After a few days of recuperation, Wei Qingwan finally got out of bed.

But her complexion did not look too good, and her face was even worse than of Wei Jinyi at the same time.

These days she had been confined in Wangmei Garden, listening to Cuiping telling her about Wei Ruo's affairs. She knew that Wei Ruo had been very active these days and went out frequently.

Wei Qingwan then went to the kitchen, made some osmanthus cake and delivered it to Wei Yichen personally, regardless of her servant's dissuasion.

Wei Yichen had been buried in his studies these days, and paid little attention to external affairs.

It was only when Wei Qingwan came to see him that he would take a break.

"Why did Wanwan personally come over today?" As soon as he saw his sister, Wei Yichen couldn't help but show a gentle and doting smile on his face.

"I came to see my eldest brother. I am afraid that my eldest brother has worked himself too hard. I am also afraid that my eldest brother has starved himself by just focusing on studying and forgetting to eat.

I don't care whether my eldest brother can pass Juren* Jinshi* or not, I just want my eldest brother to be healthy and alive."

^*Juren: : In the ancient Chinese imperial examination system, candidates that were talented and recommended to take imperial examinations were called Juren. ^*Jinshi: those who passed the final level of the central court examination were called Jinshi. 

"It won’t happen. I can take care of my own health, I will eat well, and I will never starve myself. Don't worry, sister."

"So does eldest brother don’t want to eat my osmanthus cake anymore?"

"Of course I want to eat." Wei Yichen hurriedly reached for the osmanthus cake brought by Wei Qingwan. "My sister makes delicious food. How can ordinary food compare with it?"

"Eldest brother, I heard that sister has been going out frequently in the past few days and even went to the wasteland in the south of the city, is that true?"

"It is true."

"Isn't it difficult to grow crops on the land over there?" Wei Qingwan looked puzzled and curious.

"It's quite difficult to grow crops, but it doesn't matter. Ruo'er said she has a method, so let her give it a try. If she succeeds, it's a great achievement. If she doesn’t succeed, there's not much to lose."

Wei Yichen had the same opinion as Wei Mingting.

“It was nice to be sister, she can go out and do what she wants freely.” Wei Qingwan couldn't help but let out a sigh, her expression was thick with envy.

Wei Yichen smiled and said: ''Why? Does Wanwan want to go out too? Could it be that you also want to learn farming from Ruo'er? Then you can't, our Wanwan can't withstand the wind and sun."

"Eldest brother, you're teasing me again."

“Eldest brother didn't tease you, eldest brother loves you. It’s because Ruo’er likes and used to doing these things, otherwise I wouldn't want her to go outside all the time.” Wei Yichen said with a smile.

"That's right…… Doing farm work is very hard, I don't know how Mo mo Li is doing now……" Wei Qingwan's expression became sad.

Seeing her like this, Wei Yichen comforted her: “Wanwan, Mo mo Li did something wrong and should be punished. Eldest brother knows that you have a good relationship with her, 

but if Mo mo Li is not severely punished, it will inevitably breed a rebellious and unruly servitude in our family, so it must be prevented.”

“I know, it’s just.. Mo mo Li is already so old. She has to be in Zhuangzi for three months, but she has not been there for a long time. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on……”

Wei Qingwan looked worried, and when she mentioned that Mo mo Li might not be able to hold on, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Wei Yichen furrowed his eyebrows and said: "Eldest brother knows that you and Mo mo Li have a good relationship, and also understands your worries. How about this, I'll talk to the butler of the mansion and ask him to help take care of some things, and arrange relatively lighter work for Mo mo Li."

Wei Qingwan pursed her lips: "Thank you, eldest brother.”

"Silly girl, don't say such things. Eldest brother knows you. You are the most soft and kind-hearted person, but a disobedient servant should be punished. Being too kind to others may harm yourself.” Wei Yichen said.

"Yes." Wei Qingwan whispered in agreement.
