When Wei Ruo was running outside, Wei Qingwan was learning to manage household affairs from Yun Shi.

Yun Shi knew that Wei Ruo was running around outside, but she didn’t ask where she went, nor did she confine her, because she no longer wanted to waste her energy on it.

She had done everything for the good of her eldest daughter—for her reputation, for her future—but the eldest daughter was completely ungrateful and constantly defied her.

Since that was the case, rather than wasting her efforts on the eldest daughter, she might as well focus on properly teaching Wanwan. When Wanwan came of age next year, she could find her a good marriage match.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month was the New Year’s Eve celebrated by the people of Taizhou Prefecture.

Wei Mingting did not return to the Wei residence, but Wei Yichen did.

When Wei Yichen returned, only Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were at the residence. Wei Ruo, as usual, was out, and although Wei Yilin’s martial arts lessons had been paused, he was addicted to training and still went to his martial arts master in the mornings these past few days to practice and ask for guidance.

When she saw Wei Yichen, Yun Shi was overjoyed and also distressed, “Yichen, you’ve lost weight. These days must have been hard on you.”

Wei Yichen looked at Yun Shi, full of heartache, “Mother, it hasn’t been hard for me, and I haven’t lost weight. I’ve been very happy at the academy, and I’ve learned a lot every day. But it’s you, Mother—you’ve clearly lost weight these days.”

“I’m not suffering. As long as you’re all well, what’s a little hardship for me? The one truly having a hard time is your father. He’s hardly rested these past few days—I’m really worried his body won’t be able to take it.”

Speaking of her husband, Yun Shi was filled with concern.

“Don’t worry, Mother. Father has always been strong. Besides, the Japanese pirates have been relatively quiet these past few days. There hasn’t been any fighting, so Father should have time to rest,” Wei Yichen comforted her.

“Mm…” Yun Shi couldn’t talk about too much of this in front of the children.

“Eldest Brother!” Wei Qingwan came forward, her expression emotional and eyes shining.

“Wanwan,” Wei Yichen looked at Wei Qingwan with gentle eyes.

“Eldest Brother, you’ve had a hard time,” Wei Qingwan said with concern.

“I’m fine. Have you been doing well lately?” Wei Yichen asked with care.

“Mm, I’m doing well. Thank you for your concern, Eldest Brother.”

“Where’s Ruo’er?” Wei Yichen asked.

When she heard him ask about Wei Ruo, Yun Shi’s expression darkened slightly. “Who knows where she’s run off to again. Ever since arriving in the prefectural city, she’s gotten even worse than before. As long as she’s not in class, she runs outside. I have no idea where she goes every day. Back when we were in Xingshan County, she was busy with matters in the south of the city, so it was still somewhat justifiable. But now, I really don’t know what she’s so busy with!”

Wei Yichen guessed, “Maybe younger sister is helping the farmers with planting again—she enjoys doing that.”

“That’s still inappropriate,” Yun Shi said.

Wei Yichen tried to explain on Wei Ruo’s behalf, “This year, crop yields have been poor everywhere. But younger sister knows how to make the land grow more crops. She can save a lot of people.”

“Let her do whatever she wants.” Yun Shi clearly didn’t want to continue talking about the eldest daughter.

“Mother, younger sister suffered so much before. Shouldn’t it be a good thing if she can be happy now? We brought her back not to make her unhappy again, but to make up for the hardships she went through, isn’t that right?”

Wei Yichen continued, understanding his mother well. He could see she was holding a grudge against the eldest sister, and he didn’t want her to keep that resentment in her heart.
