Wei Ruo was not keen on joining everyone, but she was very interested in strolling on the streets of the capital.

So after dressing up briefly, she happily followed Yun Shi out.

However, Yun Shi asked that Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan stay on the carriage as much as possible. If they want to get off the carriage and enter the shop, they must wear a veiled hat that wasn’t easy to take off. Their maid must closely follow behind.

Wei Ruo naturally couldn’t stay idle, so she got out of the carriage towards bustling places and started wandering among various shops and vendors.

After walking around for a while, she met Xie Ying.

“Ruoruo!”

Xie Ying’s sharp eyes spotted Wei Ruo first, and she ran towards Wei Ruo with a bounce in her step.

Unlike Wei Ruo who was wearing a veiled hat, Xie Ying did not conceal herself and confidently strolled outside.

“Ruoruo, why are you dressed like this? It’s so inconvenient. If you didn’t wear the materials I personally selected, I wouldn’t have recognized you.” Xie Ying said.

The clothes that Wei Ruo is wearing now are only recently made, using the cloud brocade silk that Xie Ying gave her.

Wei Ruoruo smiled and could only say that the Xie family really doted on Xie Ying and let her do what she wanted.

“By the way, why did you come to the capital city? I didn’t hear you mention that you were also coming.” Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.

“I came to the capital city not because of the Prefectural Magistrate’s wife’s invitation. Although my grandfather rose to the fourth rank, my father is only an insignificant official, and because my mother comes from a merchant family, those pedantic people look down on her. Of course, my mother is also reluctant to join them, so she is happy not to join them.” Xie Ying explained.

“Then why did you come?” Wei Ruo asked curiously.

“I came to play. My big brother is over here, and since you were away these past few days, I told my mother that it would be better to simply let the teacher rest for a few days as well, and my mother agreed.” Xie Ying said with a proud face.

“So that’s how it is.”

“Ruoruo, my big brother has booked a boat tour on East Lake. Come and play with me!” Xie Ying said to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo turned around to look at the carriage behind her, and Yun Shi was still in the carriage.

Seeing Wei Ruo’s concern, Xie Ying said, “Don’t worry, I’ll let the Mo mo who is following me inform your mother, and I won’t tell her about my brother. She would only know it’s about the two of us. With such a large group of servants behind me, there’s no reason for your mother to disagree.”

After saying that, Xie Ying explained the matter to the Mo mo who followed her.

Then the Mo mo went to the Wei family carriage and talked to Yun Shi in the carriage, soon the Mo mo came back and told Wei Ruo and Xie Ying that Mrs. Wei had agreed.

“Let’s go.” Xie Ying held Wei Ruo’s hand, and the two of them got on the Xie family’s carriage and headed towards East Lake.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Xie Ying took off the veiled hat that Wei Ruo was wearing, which she thought was an eyesore.

On the way to the East Lake, Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying, “Is your brother in the Prefecture these days because of that nobleman?”

“Yes, he didn’t say in detail, but I guessed it was probably because of the Seventh Prince.” Xie Ying said.

Immediately after that, he said to Wei Ruo, ‘In fact, your Wei family also knows that he is the Seventh Prince right? There’s no reason why you wouldn’t know if you have acquaintances in the capital.”

Wei Ruo nodded and then said, “I don’t know why he stayed in Taizhou Prefecture for so long. If it’s because of the Japanese pirates, now that we have won a battle, it’s easy for him to explain the reason for his return to the capital. As for the matter of my wasteland in the south of the city, he can leave a subordinate behind. There’s no need for him to personally monitor such a trivial matter.”

“About this matter, I have heard a rumor.” Xie Ying said.

“Rumor?”

“I’m only telling you, so don’t say this to anyone.” Xie Ying whispered.

“Okay.”

“I heard that the Seventh Prince may be looking for the prince who was born to the former Empress.”
