Wei Qingwan smiled faintly, “Miss He, we are not familiar with each other, so let’s not address each other so intimately.”

However, He Miao’er seemed oblivious to Wei Qingwan’s aloofness and continued to flatter her enthusiastically, “Sister, I understand your difficulties. Don’t worry, we will never mention our relationship with you to anyone outside. Now that we’re in the residence and there’s no one else around, you don’t have to be so concerned.”

Madam He quickly added, “Yes, yes, Wanwan, we are connected by blood. Miao’er is your legitimate younger sister. Outside, we will be cautious, but at home, there’s no need to avoid us so much.”

Wei Qingwan avoided the three of them and timidly moved behind Yun Shi, calling out softly, “Mother.”

Yun Shi frowned, noticing her daughter’s discomfort. She addressed the He family, “Mr. He, Madam He, and Miss He, please remember what you promised us before.”

Madam He hurriedly smiled and said, “We remember, we remember. Rest assured, we won’t tell anyone outside that Wanwan is our daughter. But isn’t it just us here now? Madam Wei, please understand the feelings of us as parents.”

Hearing Madam He’s explanation, Yun Shi found it hard to further criticize the He family. As a mother herself, she could understand their emotions.

“Wanwan, they are your biological parents. It’s only natural for them to care about you. Spend some time chatting with them,” Yun Shi said to Wei Qingwan.

Since Yun Shi had said so, Wei Qingwan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Afterward, as Yun Shi had to deliver the medicinal herbs brought by the He family to the military camp, she left first, instructing Wei Qingwan to entertain the He family on her behalf.

Once Yun Shi left, the He family became even more enthusiastic toward Wei Qingwan.

“Wanwan, my dear Wanwan… You really look so much like me when I was young.” Madam He said affectionately as she gazed at Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan also noticed the striking resemblance between herself and Madam He. However, this realization only made Wei Qingwan feel more uncomfortable rather than closer to the He family.

“Sister, I heard that Lord Wei has been promoted again recently, with a bright future ahead. Does that mean your status will also rise accordingly?” He Miao’er asked curiously.

“Why are you asking about this?” Wei Qingwan was clearly displeased by He Miao’er’s flattering tone.

“I’m just curious. After all, I don’t have the good fortune of being able to grow up in a prominent family like my sister.” He Miao’er said enviously.

Not wanting to confront her directly, Wei Qingwan replied, “Living in an official’s household also comes with its own difficulties. Many things are not as free as they seem for someone like you, Miao’er.”

He Miao’er paid no attention and said, “Sister Wanwan, my parents and I will be staying here for a few more days. Why don’t you take me out to have some fun?”

Wei Qingwan declined, “I have to attend lessons at the magistrate’s residence every day and don’t have time to accompany you. Besides, shouldn’t you be closer to Sister Ruo? It would be better to ask her for anything you need.”

Wei Qingwan was trying to push this trouble onto Wei Ruo.

What she didn’t know was that the relationship between the He family and Wei Ruo was very distant. They hadn’t seen each other for many years, and now, even if Wei Ruo stood in front of them, they wouldn’t recognize her.

“But I just heard that Sister Ruo isn’t in the mansion right now. It’ll be quite some time before she comes back,” He Miao’er quickly responded.

Wei Qingwan realized this as well. She wasn’t sure if it was luck or something else, but Wei Qingruo had conveniently avoided the He family entirely.

“Sister Wanwan, please don’t refuse. Just take me out for a walk! I promise to behave and won’t say anything inappropriate!”
