“If we’re going back, why bother changing my shoes now?” Wei Ruo asked.

“The sooner, the better.” Wei Jinyi answered.

“Second Brother, are you worried my feet might get frostbitten?” Wei Ruo laughed.

There was a brief silence.

Well, the answer was obvious, but the second brother didn’t want to admit it directly.

After changing the shoes, Wei Ruo took away the used shoes and socks with the cloth bag prepared nearby.

He was even considering this, the second brother was truly attentive.

After leaving the room, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi, “Let’s go. Let’s head back to the mansion. Not only do I need to take a hot bath and change my clothes, but so do you. Your health is crucial; you can’t help others if you don’t take care of yourself.”

“Don’t you still have things to take care of?” Wei Jinyi asked.

“The supplies will take a while to arrive, and the medicine will take some time to be prepared. All I can do now is wait, so I might as well go back and clean myself up first.”

Wei Jinyi nodded. As long as Wei Ruo had no concerns, he had no objections.

So, Wei Jinyi escorted Wei Ruo back to the Colonel’s Mansion.

After sending Wei Ruo to the gate of Tingsong Garden, Wei Jinyi stopped. Although Wei Ruo often ran into his courtyard, even into his bedroom, Wei Jinyi always followed the etiquette and didn’t enter Wei Ruo’s courtyard easily.

After watching Wei Ruo enter the house at the entrance of the courtyard, Wei Jinyi returned to his own courtyard to change clothes and shoes.

Inside Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo didn’t have time for someone to prepare a large amount of hot water for her to take a bath. In order to save time, she used hot water to wipe her body clean and then changed into a set of clean clothes.

She then opened her personal medicine box, selecting some medicines to carry with her.

Among the people who were transferred to the magistrate’s warehouse today, there might be others besides the little girl who could catch a cold or become ill. It was better to bring these common medicines just in case.

After that, Wei Ruo reunited with Wei Jinyi, and they prepared to go out again.

Just as the two were about to leave, Yun Shi, accompanied by her maid Cuiping, arrived at the gate of Tingsong Garden and stopped Wei Ruo, who was about to go out again.

“Ruo’er, you can’t go out anymore,” Yun Shi said sternly.

“I have important matters to attend to,” Wei Ruo replied.

“No matter how important it is, you shouldn’t be out all the time. Your second brother is a man; he can go wherever he wants, but you can’t do that.”

“I’m not running around; I’m helping to relocate and settle the people from the south of the city. In this weather, if we don’t take care of them, they will starve or freeze to death.”

“The officials are responsible for the people in the south of the city. You are a young lady of a prominent family. It’s not proper for you to mingle with them; it will damage your reputation,” Yun Shi advised.

“I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong. I am upright and honorable, and I conduct myself properly even when I’m outside. Etiquette is for normal times; but now it’s a special period when countless people are suffering. Any rules of etiquette should be set aside to prioritize saving lives.” Wei Ruo firmly stated her point of view.

“Just because you think that way doesn’t mean others will. When the rain stops and the skies clear, your current actions will be seen as inappropriate, and cause criticism.”

“Then I won’t regret it at that time.” Wei Ruo said, her eyes unwavering.

Yun Shi frowned, “Why are you so stubborn? I’m only thinking of you. I’m worried that if anything happens, it could affect you…”

At this moment, Wei Jinyi spoke up, ”I’m sure that Father, who is actively involved in helping people in a crisis, would support our elder sister’s actions.”
