Wei Ruo sneered in her heart, then lifted her head and pretended not to hear the underlying meaning of Yun Shi’s words. She smiled as she said to Yun Shi:

“Is Mother going to make clothes for me? From the time I returned to the mansion until now, this is the first time Mother is going to make me clothes. What kind of clothes are you going to make? It will be winter soon, so the clothes should be thicker, right?”

Wei Ruo asked several questions in succession. And when Yun Shi looked at her clear and bright eyes, she was unable to say the words she prepared to say.

Wei Ruo continued: “When I first returned to the mansion, although those clothes were new, they had been made according to the size of Sister Qingwan. I think Mother doesn’t know my size, so you can only make them according to Sister Qingwan’s size. This time I need to have the master* measure my size carefully.”

*She means the master worker who made their clothes.

Upon hearing these words, Yun Shi couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. At that time, she did not know the size of her biological daughter who lived far away in Huzhou Prefecture, and it was difficult to determine her size. Therefore, she took the new clothes she had made for Wanwan the year before to Tingsong Garden and prepared them for Ruo’er.

But later on, when she saw Ruo’er wearing those clothes, looking graceful and elegant, she could hardly see anything that didn’t fit her, so she didn’t think there would be any problem.

Several years ago, the mansion would make clothes twice a year, but there was a war in the middle of this year. She had to worry about her husband on the front line, and was busy with household chores. So she didn’t pay attention and wasn’t prepared to make new clothes.

As a result, Ruo’er hadn’t made clothes according to her size since she returned to the mansion.

“That’s right, I will definitely measure your size properly.” Yun Shi said with a guilty tone.

Then when Yun Shi looked at the cloud brocade in front of Wei Ruo again, she looked a little hesitant.

–Cloud brocade is a high-quality silk fabric. It is made of high-density, high-count silk as raw material. After complex processing and weaving techniques, it presents a unique texture and luster. It is widely used in high-end clothing, home accessories and other fields.

But after pondering for a while, she decided to speak up: “Ruo’er, the material of these two pieces of cloud brocade is pretty decent, why don’t we use these materials to make new clothes for you? 

This material is expensive, and the colors are also beautiful, so if you wear the clothes made of this material and go to the capital city, you will look more dignified. When our Colonel’s Mansion has good materials in the future, Mother will give it to you.”

“So Mother means that if Miss Xie hadn’t brought me these cloud brocades by chance, our Colonel’s Mansion wouldn’t be able to attend the garden party in the capital city next month?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Mother doesn’t mean that. If Miss Xie hadn’t brought you these cloud brocades, it’s okay too. But since you have received it, it’s naturally better.” Yun Shi said.

“If you want to make clothes out of cloud brocade, you can just make it for me.” Wei Ruo said.

Yun Shi frowned: “Ruo’er, you and Qingwan are sisters. Wanwan has always cared about you and thought of you in everything. You should also show your demeanor as an elder sister. 

The Xie family has given you so many gifts for you and Mother doesn’t want anything else from your gift, just these two pieces of cloud brocade of different patterns. Mother will make clothes for each of you. And Mother borrowed this from you, so I will definitely return it when I have good materials.”

Wei Ruo’s smile didn’t diminish and explained calmly: “Mother doesn’t know. The reason Miss Xie chose to give me two pieces of cloud brocade is because she saw that the material I usually wear is much worse than hers, and the clothes don’t fit very well. So she must have hoped that I could wear the clothes made from the material she gave me, right?”

Hearing this, Yun Shi’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
