Wei Ruo’s plan could increase the food production for Taizhou Prefecture.

Mrs. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “If this plan succeeds, I will definitely have my husband report your achievements to the court. Let everyone know that even a noblewoman living in seclusion can help the world and contribute to the people.”

Wei Ruo had a pleasant conversation with Mrs. Yuan, had lunch together, and admiring the various flowers that Mrs. Yuan had planted in her yard.

Later, Mrs. Yuan personally escorted Wei Ruo out and made an appointment to visit the barren land near the city tomorrow to investigate the situation.

Before leaving, Madam Yuan asked the servants to prepare some dried seafood such as scallops and abalone for Wei Ruo, and also gave Wei Ruo two pots of rare chrysanthemums: one pot of Yaotai Yufeng and one pot of Dianjiangchun.

These gifts that Wei Ruo brought back would surely be seen by the Wei family, so it was not appropriate to give too expensive things. Dried goods and flowers were relatively reasonable, and more like rewards for appreciation after a first meeting.

After discussing with Mrs. Yuan, Wei Ruo returned to the Xie family’s residence.

When she got off the carriage, Wei Ruo was looking tired and assisted by Xiumei throughout the journey, making it seem like her condition had worsened due to a day of traveling.

Upon seeing the large bags of dried seafood and rare flowers brought back by Wei Ruo, Yun Shi could roughly guess that Wei Ruo was doing well with Mrs. Yuan today and Mrs. Yuan was very pleased with her, so she received these rewards.

Yun Shi stepped forward to ask Wei Ruo about the details of her meeting, but was stopped by Wei Ruo just as she was about to speak.

“Meimei, I have a headache. Help me return to my room to rest.”

Yesterday’s quarrel was still fresh in her mind, Wei Ruo didn’t have the intention to deal with Yun Shi right now. So she used the same trick again.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shi couldn’t continue to chase after Wei Ruo and watched as the maid helped her return to her room.

Xiumei closed the door, isolating the curious gaze of those outside.

Then she smiled and said, “Miss, your method is clever!”

“We will continue to eat in the room tonight and not join them. No matter what, I have to have two days of peace before returning to Xingshan County.”

“Okay, what will Miss eat today? I’ll make whatever you want! “Xiumei said.

“Then use the dried goods we’ve got to make a seafood porridge, since I said I’m sick, it makes sense to eat porridge.” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay! Then I’ll soak the dried food now.”

Learning that Wei Ruo had dinner in her room again, Yun Shi couldn’t say anything.

Wei Qingwan had been locked in her room all the time, not to mention going outside. She couldn’t even get out of the room. Cuihe also sent in the dinner, and she didn’t know if it was Yun Shi who sent her rice porridge with pickles, in order to please Wei Ruo.

Wei Qingwan asked Cuihe, “What did sister have for dinner tonight?”

Cuihe felt awkward and hesitated for a long time before saying, “It’s seafood porridge. When the eldest young lady came back in the afternoon, she brought back a lot of dried seafood, which seems to be a gift from Mrs. Yuan.”

It was the same porridge, but she ate white porridge with pickles, while Wei Qingruo ate seafood porridge! Wasn’t this favoritism a little too much?

Wei Qingwan looked at the porridge and pickles in front of her, and her feelings of injustice and anger welled up.

“Take it away, I won’t eat it.” Wei Qingwan pushed the food aside.

“Miss, just eat a little, don’t starve yourself.” Cuihe persuaded.

“I’m not eating, take it away. If Mother asks, just tell her the truth.” Wei Qingwan said.

She wanted her mother to know that she hadn’t eaten anything for dinner.
