“We haven’t always been in contact, it’s only recently that we started talking again.” Wei Ruo answered calmly.

“What did Madam Yuan ask you about?” Yun Shi asked again.

“Didn’t I tell Mother this morning before going out? It was about agricultural matters.”

“Why would Madam Yuan care so much about agricultural matters?” Yun Shi asked again.

“Does Mother truly not know? Magistrate Yuan wants his political achievements to look good, and that naturally depends on the people being prosperous, healthy, and living in harmony.” Wei Ruo replied.

Yun Shi had considered this point, but it still surprised her that Madam Yuan would come to her daughter about it.

Looking at Wei Ruo in front of her, Yun Shi felt a mix of emotions. She let out a long sigh and said, “Ruo’er, I’m happy that Madam Yuan values you so much, but the things I said to you this morning were from the bottom of my heart. I really think that becoming a proper young lady of a noble family and marrying into a good family in the future is your true calling.”

Yun Shi’s upbringing and life experience always made her believe that, for a woman, finding a good marriage and dedicating herself to her husband and children was the proper path.

“This is the path I have chosen for myself. Whatever consequences come in the future, I will bear them myself. I hope Mother will not stand in my way.” Wei Ruo said firmly.

Yun Shi sighed again, “You’re really a lot like your father, and your father supports you in doing these things as well.”

At times, Yun Shi couldn’t fully understand her husband.

But as his wife, she knew she should support him and regard him as her guiding pillar.

Wei Ruo said, “Since that’s the case, I ask Mother not to dissuade me anymore. I’m willing to take this path, and I will bear any consequences myself.”

Yun Shi nodded. “I can’t stop you. If I try to stop you again, you’ll go complain to your father, and I’ll have no choice.”

Because of her husband’s stance, the most Yun Shi could do was advise Wei Ruo. If her advice didn’t work, there was nothing more she could do—she didn’t want to upset her husband.

Especially with the war looming, Yun Shi dared not let any trouble arise at home that might distract her husband or make him worry.

Yun Shi continued, “Since you are now so favored by Madam Yuan, if you have the chance, say a few good words for your younger sister.”

Last time, Wei Qingwan already wanted Wei Ruo to speak well on her behalf, but Wei Ruo used a headache as an excuse to brush it off.

This time, with Madam Yuan showing up again, Yun Shi saw another opportunity and brought up the matter once more.

“If I say I’m unwilling, will Mother again accuse me of being heartless toward my sister?” Wei Ruo asked.

Yun Shi frowned and replied in a heavy tone, “That day, it’s true that Wanwan was in the wrong, and it was also somewhat unfair of me to blame you then.”

After many days, Yun Shi finally admitted that she was at fault that day.

She continued, “But Ruo’er, we are family. When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers disgrace, all are disgraced! Your sister’s damaged reputation does no good for you either. You must understand this.”

Wei Ruo remained silent, her expression cold as she looked at Yun Shi.

Yun Shi added, “Your sister has already been punished. I’ve confined her, reduced her monthly allowance, and her reputation in the city has taken a hit. Isn’t that enough to calm your anger?

If Wei Qingwan had learned her lesson and stopped causing trouble, Wei Ruo might have let it go. But clearly, that wasn’t the case—what happened this morning was proof enough.

“I need to go back and think about this matter carefully,” Wei Ruo replied, neither agreeing nor outright refusing.
