“Mother!” Two lines of tears slid down from her eyes.

“Wanwan, you used to be the most dignified and sensible. Why are you so reckless today? Not only did you bump into your sister, but you also kept silent when Mrs. Yuan questioned you? Do you know how much impact Mrs. Yuan’s words will affect you? 

Mrs. Yuan is not an ordinary person. She is the most beloved daughter of Prince Huai. Not to mention in Taizhou Prefecture, even in the capital, her words carry a lot of weight!” Yun Shi’s eyes were full of pain.

Wei Qingwan’s tears rained down as she said, “Mother, I didn’t know that something like that would happen. I just stumbled on my feet, how did I know I would bump into my sister? I only lightly bumped into my sister at that time, how did I know that my sister would bump into Mrs. Yuan?”

Wei Qingwan cried bitterly, her red eyes, pale cheeks, and body twitching and trembling, as if she was about to cry and faint at any moment.

She turned all the indifference and grievances she had suffered in Tianqin Garden today into tears and let them out.

Watching her daughter, who had been raised for thirteen years, cry like this, Yun Shi’s heart ached.

Then Yun Shi turned her head to look at Wei Ruo and asked sternly, “You too, you didn’t rush somewhere else but you were heading towards Mrs. Yuan? Now that you’re doing well and have received Mrs. Yuan’s praise, your sister’s whole life has been ruined by you!”

Wei Ruo sneered, “Does Mother think I should fall into the pool, get soaked all over, and become the laughing stock of the entire Taizhou Prefecture?”

Wei Ruo admitted that Wei Qingwan’s strength at the time might not be enough to knock her into the pool, but who knew what the next step would be before something happens? In emergency situations, people will inevitably choose the safest way to handle things. This is human instinct, a behavior where the body is faster than the brain.

Yun Shi defended, “I didn’t ask you to fall, but if you hadn’t rushed to Mrs. Yuan, this wouldn’t have happened! Your sister’s life may have been ruined by your action today!”

“How come? Wei Qingwan’s accidental fall is an accident that was unavoidable, and my rushing to Mrs. Yuan something that could have been avoided? It’s fine for Mother to be biased, but don’t be so unreasonable.” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

“What did you say?” Yun Shi’s face immediately darkened when Wei Ruo accused her of being biased and unreasonable.

“Isn’t it? You even feel that Wei Qingwan’s failure to come forward and take the initiative to admit her problems are all excusable and caused by her shock, and you don’t even feel that my reaction in a critical situation is understandable. May I ask where is your fairness and justice?” Wei Ruo asked in response.

“Is this your attitude when talking to your mother?!” Yun Shi angrily slammed the book case beside her and looked at Wei Ruo angrily.

“Is this the question you, as a mother, should raise to your daughter?” Wei Ruo asked back.

“Wei Qingruo, you’re talking back at me!” Yun Shi was furious and shouted to Mo mo Zhang outside the door, “Mo mo Zhang, take the eldest young lady to her room and lock her up! Don’t let her out or allow her to eat without my order!”

After entering the door, Mo mo Zhang stood still, looking at Wei Ruo with a conflicted expression, but did not immediately take action.

Wei Ruo calmly and self-confidently said, “In a couple of days, the rice on the test field I initially reclaimed in the south of the city will be ripe, by then all the arrangements need me to preside over. If you dare to lock me up and punish me today, I guarantee that something will happen to the test field in the south of the city, and then how will the Wei family explain it to County Head Magistrate Qian and the Seventh Prince?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Shi was shocked and looked at Wei Ruo with a face full of disbelief.
