A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 037

“It’s only a snack, it won’t affect the main meal. In case any of the other madams and young ladies are hungry, I can share some with them.”

Yun Shi stopped saying anything after listening to Wei Ruo’s explanation and seeing that Wei Ruo had prepared a delicate and beautiful food box. So even if the box was seen by others, it wouldn’t be embarrassing. She instructed her maid Cuiping to hold the food box when she went up the mountain.

In order to limit the number of people on this trip, apart from the carriage drivers and guards, Yun Shi only brought Cuiping, while Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan did not bring their maids.

Wei Qingwan also arrived at the gate. At a glance, she saw Wei Ruo who had been well-dressed. A surprise flashed in her eyes at that moment, but she quickly looked away.

Wei Ruo didn’t pay attention to Wei Qingwan, all she had in mind was farming to make money.

Absent-mindedly, she followed Yun Shi into the carriage and sat there. Wei Ruo looked out through the window, her thoughts flying far away.

Seeing her absent-minded expression, Yun Shi didn’t say anything.

Turning to Wei Qingwan, she said: “Wanwan, today we have to go uphill to the Fahua Temple to offer incense and pray. Mother is worried that you will not be able to bear it.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. Whether I can finish the walk or not, I will work hard. One step of a time. And I also want to pray for Father and all the soldiers. I hope they can achieve a complete victory and be safe every time they fight against the Pirates. I also hope that the Pirates Invaders can be repelled as soon as possible and peace will be restored in Xingshan County.”

“Well, your father will be very happy to know that you have this intention.”

“Father and the soldiers defend our country, fighting with blood and sweat, while all I can do is go up the mountain to pray. What’s the big deal of being a little tired? It is nothing compared to Father and them.”

Seeing Wei Qingwan’s grateful and thoughtful look, Yun Shi couldn’t help showing a kind smile, with unusually gentle eyes.

This daughter was well-educated, gentle and amiable, filial and sensible. She really could not find any faults in her.

When she was thinking of meeting the ladies again, Yun Shi was in a particularly good mood. Because on such occasions, Wanwan would be the one who receives the most compliments.

Everyone had vanity, and Yun Shi was no exception. It was undoubtedly a pleasant thing for her daughter whom she raised, to be praised by others.

But the situation might be a bit different today……

Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo, who was lying on the window, with a worried expression. She did not ask Ruo’er to be praised for being as excellent as Wanwan, she just asked her not to be criticized.

Although she said firmly that she believed in Wei Ruo when she asked her yesterday, she couldn’t help but worry when it was the time to take her out.

The carriage departed from Colonel’s Mansion and headed straight to the north of the city. Most of the road ahead was the old road that Wei Ruo took when she went out of the city to inspect last time.

After leaving the city, the carriage went to a rural path and headed towards Xianlao Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the carriage stopped. Both Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan got off the carriage, and Wei Ruo slowly got down.

By the time they arrived, the County Head Magistrate’s wife, the Assistant County Magistrate’s wife, the Chief of Record’s wife and the ladies from other families had arrived.

Everyone was waiting at the foot of the mountain at this moment.

Seeing the arrival of the Wei family, everyone’s gaze turned to them because they heard that the Wei family had recently had another daughter.
