A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 036

“No, Mother asked me to go out with her tomorrow to burn incense and pray at Fahua Temple. I’m going to take some with me. Help me find two brocade bags with satin, with a drawstring.”

“Miss, are you afraid that you will be hungry on the way?” Xiumei asked curiously.

“No, I have other plans.”

Wei Ruo smiled slyly.

Since she could not avoid going out, she will go. But this trip could not be in vain, she had to get something.

Soon Wei Qingwan from Wangmei Garden heard that Wei Ruo was also going to Fahua Temple with Yun Shi.

“Did Mother take the initiative to take sister there?” Wei Qingwan asked Mo mo Li.

“Yes, Madam took the initiative to mention it, saying that sooner or later the eldest young lady would have to go out and tomorrow would be a good time.”

“So soon……” Wei Qingwan murmured and lowered her head.

“Miss, don’t be sad. It’s only a matter of time.” Mo mo Li persuaded.

“I knew it would be sooner or later, but I didn’t expect it to be so early……” Wei Qingwan looked disappointed.

There was a difference between Mother asking Wei Ruo to go on her own initiative and Wei Ruo begging her to go; Mother’s initiative meant that she has approved of Wei Ruo and feels that Wei Ruo meets the standard of a young lady.

“Don’t worry, Miss. This may not be a good thing for the eldest young lady. In front of so many madams and young ladies, if the eldest young lady makes a mistake and makes a fool of herself, she will become a joke for the entire Xingshan County.”

“It’s not that I want my sister to make a fool of herself, I just don’t want……” Wei Qingwan murmured.

“I understand the Miss’ thoughts, but whether the eldest young lady will make mistakes in front of everyone is not up to you, Miss. It is her own quality that determines it. Some things would still happen whether the eldest young lady wants it or not.”

“If it is possible, I still hope she does well tomorrow, does not make a mistake and makes the Colonel’s Mansion lose face.” Wei Qingwan murmured.

“Miss, you are still too kind-hearted.” Mo mo Li said helplessly.

“As long as my mother doesn’t hate me, I don’t mind what my sister does.”

“No, Madam still loves you the most, Miss.”

After some comfort from Mo mo Li, Wei Qingwan’s mood improved a lot.

After drinking a calming tea, she fell asleep.

The following day, Wei Ruo dressed up at Yun Shi’s request.

A pale yellow top with an aqua-green tunic and a dark green jacket. And a bun, the most fashionable hairdo of the moment. She looked like a delicate and smart lady.

It had been a long time since she had been in Colonel’s Mansion, and this was the first time Wei Ruo dressed up. She was wearing clothes that she thinks are more lightweight, and her hair was also tied into a bun that is easy for countryside women to work in.

Yun Shi asked her several times to change into the clothes that were prepared for her, but Wei Ruo refused on the excuse that the linen clothes were light and easy to move around in.

Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo, who was dressed up well, and gave a satisfied smile: “Ruo’er looks really nice in this dress.”

Yun Shi also noticed the exquisite food box in Wei Ruo’s hand, and asked: “What is Ruo’er holding?”
