Xiaobei quickly waved her hands. “No, no, I have no ulterior motives! I really mean it—Miss is amazing.”

Then, glancing shyly at Xiumei, he added in a small voice, “Of course, Miss Xiumei is amazing too.”

Xiumei laughed. “Look at you being all sweet-tongued. Tell me, are you trying to coax me into teaching you how to cook again?”

Xiaobei shook his head wildly. “No, really! I truly meant what I said!”

Xiaobei was getting flustered, which only made Xiumei smile more. “I’m just teasing you. Don’t get so nervous.”

Xiaobei’s face turned bright red.

Wei Ruo chuckled. “Second Brother, Xiaobei blushes just as easily as you.”

Having the topic suddenly thrown back onto him, Wei Jinyi pretended not to hear.

Wei Ruo could tell and laughed again. Her second brother was clearly embarrassed and unwilling to admit he blushed easily.

After returning from Yingzhu Courtyard, Xiumei asked, “Miss, do you have any extra medicine prepared?”

Wei Ruo smiled. “Why? Worried I’ll forget Brother Xiaoyong just because of Second Brother? You’re in such a rush—afraid he won’t have any medicine on hand? When we go to Nanny’s place later, I’ll tell Brother Xiaoyong you’re super worried about him and care about him sooo much!”

Xiumei instantly denied it. “Who’s worried about him! If he has no medicine, then let him have no medicine! I don’t care!”

“Come on, let’s go check on Brother Xiaoyong. He’s only home for a few days. That big trunk behind you is his item. I can’t lift it, you take it.” Wei Ruo said.

The trunk prepared for Xu Zhengyong was more than ten times larger than the one for Wei Jinyi.

It wasn’t that Wei Ruo was playing favorites—their circumstances were completely different. Xu Zhengyong lived in the military camp; not only was he prone to injuries, but his fellow soldiers were too. The amount of medicine he needed was simply on a different scale.

For Wei Jinyi, Wei Ruo focused on quality; for Xu Zhengyong, she had to prioritize quantity. Especially for wound medicine—Wei Ruo packed it for him in large bundles.

When she saw the huge trunk, Xiumei huffed, “Miss, so this giant trunk was all for Brother Xiaoyong! Here I was worrying you’d forgotten about him!”

Wei Ruo replied, “I didn’t hide anything while preparing it. I did it all in broad daylight. You’re the one who didn’t notice, so how is that my fault?”

Xiumei pouted, resigned, hoisted the big trunk, and followed after Wei Ruo.

The two took a carriage to Sibaozhai. In the back courtyard, Xu Zhengyong, who was rarely at home these days, was chopping firewood for the family.

Even in the freezing weather, he was wearing only a single thin layer.

“Xu Zhengyong!” Xiumei dropped the trunk and stormed up to him, scolding furiously, “Do you have a death wish? Sure, the weather’s warmed a little, but nowhere near enough for just a thin shirt! Are you tired of living, or do you just like the taste of the medicine Miss gives you and want an excuse to eat more?”

Startled, Xu Zhengyong quickly set down the axe and began putting on the clothes lying over the bamboo chair beside him. He gave Xiumei a sheepish grin, “Don’t be mad, don’t be mad. I’m putting it on right now.”

Wei Ruo walked over. “Meimei, if Brother Xiaoyong is working hard and sweating, taking off a layer is fine. If his clothes get soaked through, that’s when he’ll catch a cold.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyong perked up. “See? Sister Ruo is speaking up for me! What Sister Ruo says must be right.”

He’d barely finished celebrating when he received a sharp eye-roll from Wei Ruo. “But that doesn’t mean stripping down the way you do—you’re one step from going bare-chested. And the moment you stop working, you need to put your clothes back on immediately, or you’ll catch a cold for sure.”
