A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 031

“Huaibei Town is located in Huzhou Prefecture.” Wei Jinyi also said.

“That’s right, the eldest young lady is from Huaibei Town, no wonder she has this paper!”

“This paper is not cheap.” Wei Jin also said in a deep voice.

Ten sheets of regular paper cost one penny, but the paper from Sibaozhai costs five pennies per sheet, which was fifty times the price of regular paper.

The most crucial thing was that the paper of Sibaozhai was not easy to buy; it was expensive, but because of the exceptionally good quality, many noble sons and daughters were competing to buy it.

As a result, Sibaozhai was sold in limited quantities daily, while stocks lasted.

And Wei Ruo casually gave him twenty of them.

Where did she get the money? And why was she treating him so well? What exactly was her purpose?

After returning to Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo lazily laid on the bed.

When you have eaten and drunk enough, the blood goes to your digestive system, leaving your brain empty, and making it suitable for dazing.

“Miss, why do I feel that you treat the second young master better than the Master, Madam and the eldest young master? I think the eldest young master treats the Miss better than the second young master. The second young master is cold and unwilling to talk to Miss. On the contrary, the eldest young master is more gentle and considerate, and even vacates his own courtyard to give to the Miss.” Xiumei was curious.

“Because I don’t have any pressure to get along with the second young master.”

“Do you have pressure with the eldest young master?”

“Yes, if I treat the eldest young master well, people will think that I am competing for favor. But the second young master is a transparent person. I don’t need to be pressured to treat him well or badly. I can come as I like.”

“Okay, although I don’t quite understand these things, I know that Miss must be right.”

Wei Ruo smiled lightly, but in fact, it wasn’t just about not wanting to compete for favor.

She had inherited the memories of the original protagonist. And because she was a time traveler, whether she was willing or not, she carried some emotions when facing the family who hurt and abandoned her in her previous life.

It was not something she could control just by trying to. It was something that could not simply be suppressed with rational thought.

She also knew that the original protagonist’s final death was inseparable from her own actions. But the original protagonist’s longing for the family’s love and the despair of being abandoned by the family had been deeply engraved in Wei Ruo’s heart.

So even if Yun Shi and Wei Yichen treated her very well now, she could not open her heart to them.

On the other hand, Wei Jinyi did not leave any trace in the original protagonist’s memory and was also an insignificant presence in the original book. So she did not have any grudges and did not need to have extra worries when facing him.

Just like when facing neighbors at Mojiazha, as long as the other person has no bad intentions towards her, she could openly get along with them and provide them with some help wherever she could.

The comfort and freedom that Yun Shi and Wei Yichen could not give.

Of course, his small kitchen was part of the reason. It was important for her to be able to make something delicious every now and then to satisfy her cravings!

The next day, Wei Ruo was cutting off the vines from sweet potatoes that were being harvested.

Xiumei returned from outside with an anxious expression on her face and said, “Miss, it’s Brother Xiao Yong*! The person who’s arguing with the guards of the Colonel’s Mansion outside is Brother Zhengyong!”

*Brother here means someone that is close to them, not a real brother. 

Xiao Yong means ‘little Yong’, which is Zhengyong’s nickname.

The brother Zhengyong that Xiumei was talking about was Xu Zhengyong; the son of Wei Ruo’s nanny, Nanny Xu.

“What is the fuss about?”
