Wei Mingting nodded. “Wife is right.”

Wei Ruo looked on calmly, with no expression on her face.

As for that so-called mother-daughter bond — whether it existed or not — it was nothing more than a coincidence.

After Yun Shi answered Wei Mingting’s question, she instinctively looked toward Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo had already turned her attention to the food.

Even though she could feel Yun Shi looking at her, Wei Ruo didn’t turn her head.

Wei Qingwan lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and clenched the chopsticks in her hand tighter.

After finishing dinner, everyone sat together, savoring tea and chatting casually.

Wei Mingting was not drunk. Though he liked to drink, he was not greedy for alcohol. Especially since he bore responsibilities, he would not allow himself to become drunk and lose awareness, even when on leave.

Wei Mingting spoke of the Seventh Prince: “The Seventh Prince may come again to Taizhou Prefecture soon. This time, however, it won’t be in disguise — he will come bearing an imperial decree to serve as the supervising commander of the Taizhou anti-pirate forces.”

Upon hearing this, the previously quiet and lowered-head Wei Qingwan raised her head.

“The Seventh Prince is coming to Taizhou Prefecture again? It’s nearly New Year — why would he come at this time?” Yun Shi asked in confusion.

“We may be celebrating the New Year, but the Japanese Pirates are not. The more joyful the family reunions, the more vigilant we must be — lest the pirates take advantage of the moment and invade, disturbing our people and destroying our homeland,” Wei Mingting explained.

So even during the New Year, Wei Mingting might not have time to stay at home.

A trace of sorrow flashed in Yun Shi’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She understood her husband’s hardships, and she also understood the hardships of the common people. For the peace and stability of many families, they could only sacrifice their own.

Wei Mingting continued, “I’m telling you this so you can be prepared. I’m currently the Deputy Defender of the Taizhou anti-pirate forces. Since the Seventh Prince is coming in a supervisory role, I’ll be working with him quite a bit. It’s possible that he may visit our residence again.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Shi said, “Rest assured, husband. If His Highness visits again, I will make the proper arrangements and ensure no mistakes occur.”

Wei Qingwan didn’t speak, but silently committed Wei Mingting’s words to memory.

Wei Mingting’s gaze fell on Wei Ruo, as if he had something he wanted to say to her.

Wei Ruo immediately understood what Wei Mingting meant — because she had not been included in the last merit and reward ceremony, she had been holding a grudge against Chu Lan in her heart. Wei Mingting was probably worried about this.

Wei Ruo took the initiative to speak, “Father, don’t worry. His Highness’s status is what it is; your daughter still knows her boundaries.”

What she meant was: I’m still angry, but I won’t do anything — because his status doesn’t allow me to.

In truth, Wei Ruo had already disliked Chu Lan deeply. Whether it was once or twice didn’t make much of a difference. So now that Chu Lan was coming again, if they were to meet, Wei Ruo would handle it the same way she had before.

Wei Mingting said in a low voice, “You’ve been wronged, Ruo’er.”

After a brief exchange, Wei Mingting called Wei Yilin into the courtyard and asked him to demonstrate with the saber.

Yun Shi, along with Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, followed to watch.

In daily practice, Wei Yilin usually trained with wooden swords and knives. Today was no exception.

To suit his build, the wooden saber was also smaller than the standard adult saber.

Even so, the way Wei Yilin wielded the blade was well-formed and powerful with each move — truly showing the air of a general’s son.

After performing an entire set of moves, Yun Shi looked on with a face full of relief. She hadn’t expected her usually playful youngest son to have such talent in martial arts — to actually share the same skills and interests as his father.
