A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 017

Knowing that Wei Ruo had made changes to the courtyard, although Yun Shi felt it was a bit inappropriate, she did not say anything.

After all, her daughter grew up in the countryside and it was normal for her to not get used to it for a while. She could teach her slowly in the future.

But Wei Yilin was not very happy about this and ran to his elder brother Wei Yichen to report it.

“Elder brother, that Wei Ruo had made a mess of your yard! It was a waste for you to give her that courtyard, she has ruined a good and refined yard.”

“What has she changed into?” Wei Yichen was curious. He was busy with his studies these days, so he didn’t know much about Wei Ruo’s affairs.

“She’s planting vegetables in your courtyard! It’s so vulgar! How could a young lady do that! It’s too shameful!” Wei Yilin felt more and more uncomfortable.

“Planting vegetables? Although it was not very elegant, it is not a big deal. So there is no need to feel ashamed.” Wei Yichen smiled.

“Why should we not feel ashamed? I’ve heard people say that the woman we invited back is a shameful village woman! She doesn’t look like a lady at all!”

Wei Yichen’s expression became serious: “Who is gossiping in private? How can a servant speak ill of the master behind his back? Yilin, if you encounter such a thing next time, you should directly step forward and scold them.”

“I don’t want to! I won’t speak for her! She is so shameful!” Wei Yilin pursed his lips, not realizing that he was wrong. “Elder brother, aren’t you angry? She made a mess of your yard!”

“That is where she lives now, and it is her business to make any changes she wants. I should not interfere. And you, Yilin, I understand that you like Wanwan. It is also necessary to protect Wanwan, and I cherish Wanwan just like you. But Ruo’er is also your sister, and she has not done anything wrong. You should not treat her like this.” Wei Yichen taught him.

“I don’t want her to be my sister! I just need Wanwan to be my sister! She made my sister cry several times when she arrived! My sister took the initiative to go find her and give things to her, but she didn’t even pay attention to her. She let her go without saying a word, which made my sister very sad!”

“Yilin, these words end here. In the future, I don’t care what you think, but you must never say it again. Whether it is in front of me or your parents, the most important thing is that you can not say it in front of your elder sister! If you don’t listen, I will take you to father to be punished. “

Wei Yichen was so strict, no matter how unwilling Wei Yilin was, he could only pout and agreed.

“Understood… if I can not say it, then I will not say it.”

Wei Yilin obediently reading the Analects of Confucius* next to Wei Yichen.

*Analects of Confucius: It is a collection of quotations compiled by the disciples and descendants of Confucius, a thinker and educator during the Spring and Autumn period, to record the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. It was written in the early Warring States period. The entire book consists of 20 chapters and 492 chapters, mainly in the form of quotations, supplemented by narrative, which reflects the political propositions, ethical ideas, moral concepts, educational principles, etc. of Confucius and the Confucian school in a more concentrated manner.

Wei Yilin had a lively personality, and only when he was around Wei Yichen could he be more composed.

After about a cup of tea, Wei Qingwan’s personal maid, Cuihe, came over with a snack in her hand.

“Young master, third young master. Miss made some osmanthus cakes and asked the maidservant* to deliver them to the two young masters. She also asked the maidservant to bring this message to the young master; the young master should pay more attention to rest. Do not just focus on studying and tiring your body.”

*Maidservant here refers to herself.

On the white porcelain plate, there were milky white osmanthus cakes neatly arranged, adorned with golden osmanthus flowers, which Wei Qingwan personally made when osmanthus bloomed last year.

Wei Yilin looked happy and said, “My elder sister is really kind to us. We have delicious osmanthus cake to eat!”

As Wei Yilin spoke, he reached out and took a piece, putting it in his mouth with a satisfied expression on his face.

“Mmm, it’s really fragrant~ really sweet~”

Wei Yichen didn’t move.

“Eldest brother, why don’t you eat it? Don’t you really like the osmanthus cake made by elder sister?”
