Wei Ruo looked up and glanced at Wei Mingting, then quickly shifted her gaze to the distant target.

For a moment, Wei Ruo wanted to tell Wei Mingting that she didn’t feel any hardship living in the countryside, where she had family, friends, and a life of her own.

But she restrained herself from speaking, because these were words that the Wei family didn’t like to hear.

In their view, bringing her back, making her an official lady, and pampering her was the best choice.

In order to change the topic, Wei Ruo took the initiative to ask Wei Mingting: “Do all bows require that much strength? There isn’t a bow that is relatively lightweight and can be used with one hand, for example, crossbow?”

“Yes, if you use a crossbow, you won’t need too much strength and you won’t hurt your hands. Does Ruo’er want to try a crossbow?” Wei Mingting asked.

-crossbow

Wei Ruo shook his head, “I won’t try, I’m just a little curious as to why the soldiers use more bows than crossbows these days.”

“Because the speed of using a crossbow is slow. A skilled archer can shoot three arrows at the same time, while a crossbow can only shoot one arrow. When the two armies engage in battle, the intensity is very important.” Wei Mingting answered.

“I see.” Wei Ruo said thoughtfully.

Seeing that Wei Ruo had some interest in crossbows, in order to better explain to Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting asked his attendants to fetch a crossbow.

Wei Mingting handed the crossbow to Wei Ruo: “Come, Ruo’er, take a look. This crossbow can be loaded with one arrow at a time. After firing, it will take more time to load the second arrow.”

Wei Ruo took it and fired a shot at the target, then loaded a second arrow under Wei Mingting’s guidance. It was indeed slower.

For a novice like her, the time to load a crossbow was similar to the time to shoot an arrow with a bow. However, for someone like Wei Mingting who had been through many battles, the speed of taking an arrow and shooting an arrow with a bow was much faster than the speed of loading a crossbow.

Wei Ruo looked at the crossbow in her hand thoughtfully.

“What is Ruo’er thinking?” Wei Mingting was a little curious about his daughter’s thoughts.

“I’m thinking, if this crossbow can load many arrows at once, it would be great.” Wei Ruo casually said while playing and observing the crossbar in her hand.

“Ruo’er’s idea is very interesting.” Wei Mingting said, then looked up at the sky and said: “It’s getting late, let’s go back home.”

Wei Mingting finished today’s trip and returned home with his wife and children as it was getting late.

The way back was very peaceful, and the group safely returned to Wei Mansion.

After entering the door, before parting from Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting specifically told Wei Ruo: “Today is your first time riding a horse and shooting arrows, so you will inevitably feel unwell tomorrow. After returning, rest early.”

“Yes.”

Not long after Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden, she received a herbal bath pack from Cuiping.

-herbal bath pack

It was Wei Mingting who told Yun Shi, and then Yun Shi ordered Cuiping to deliver it.

Due to the war, Wei Mingting kept some medicine at home all year round. This herbal bath pack is usually used by Wei Mingting.

Wei Ruo opened the herbal bath pack, carefully identified it, and sniffed it. It was indeed a prescription with the function of soothing tendons and activating blood circulation.

Although there were some flaws in the formula, it was still useful.

Originally, Wei Ruo had planned to prepare her own herbal bath, but since Wei Mingting had someone bring it over, she didn’t need to hassle and just used the pack that was sent.

So in the evening, Wei Ruo took a nice hot herbal bath to soothe and relax.

Wei Ruo had anticipated that she might wake up the next day with a sore back, but she didn’t realize until the next day that it wasn’t just the sore back that was the problem, but also that the pain was in a somewhat embarrassing place!

Author’s Notes:
Wei Ruo: I regret it, I was too hasty. I should have prepared a herbal bath myself last night.
