“Mm.” Wei Ruo had already recognized it back when they were at the Xu family’s courtyard.

The Assistant Magistrate’s wife continued, “Fengyuan has always been a child who puts my mind at ease. Whether it was his studies or anything else, I never had to worry much about him—unlike his younger sister, who’s far more impulsive by nature.”

Wei Ruo responded with a polite smile. The Assistant Magistrate’s wife’s words left her genuinely unsure how to react.

Even if she doesn’t catch on quickly, she could still sense what the Assistant Magistrate’s wife was trying to imply.

Beside her, Wei Qingwan quietly bit her lip. The Assistant Magistrate’s wife’s attitude toward Wei Ruo once again confirmed what Xu Yaojun had said.

The Assistant Magistrate’s wife had taken a liking to Wei Qingruo. She wanted Wei Qingruo to become the Xu family’s daughter-in-law!

The Xu family was a prominent clan in Taizhou Prefecture. Xu Fengyuan was handsome and well-mannered, and like Wei Qingwan’s elder brother, he was a student of Anzhou Academy. This autumn, he would also be sitting for the provincial examination, with a future full of promise.

Wei Qingruo had been raised by a merchant family, growing up in the countryside and  learned all sorts of rough habits—yet she was still lucky. Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but feel upset.

Not far away, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen, and other students from Anzhou Academy were engaged in a competition together with Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong was up first. Every shot was on point, and his brave, striking presence kept the spectators cheering.

The admiration was sincere, not mere flattery based on his status.

His horse-riding archery was unmatched; even in the capital, there weren’t many who could compete.

With such an outstanding performance setting the bar, everyone else’s efforts naturally seemed inferior.

Even so, Xu Fengyuan still stood out among the group. His results came remarkably close to Lu Yuhong’s, earning him thunderous applause.

Horse-riding archery was Wei Yichen’s weak point. He had always performed poorly in this area, and today was no exception.

Watching Wei Yichen ride back, Lu Yuhong said bluntly, “Your Wei family produced founding generals, and your father is a warrior who’s fought across the land. How is it that you haven’t inherited even a trace of the general’s blood?”

Wei Yichen replied with some embarrassment, ““’m just not that talented—I didn’t get my dad’s or my ancestors’ skills in riding and archery.”

“What a pity,” Lu Yuhong said.

Straightforward by nature, he was blunt and never worrying about whether his words might offend.

Wei Yichen honestly accepted Lu Yuhong’s critique of himself,“Yes, it is a bit of a regret. My father used to say the same thing when I was young.”

But things were better now—his younger brother Yilin had recently shown considerable talent and interest in martial arts. With proper training, he could very well become the one to carry on their father’s legacy.

After the competition ended, everyone took a short rest. Wei Yichen looked toward a distant pavilion, scanning the crowd for his mother and sisters.

He saw his mother chatting casually with other families’ ladies. Wei Qingwan, the younger sister, was speaking with other girls of similar age. Only Wei Qingruo was sitting alone in a corner, absorbed in something, staring intently.

Xu Fengyuan walked over and asked Wei Yichen, “Brother, are you looking at your two younger sisters?”

Wei Yichen nodded.

“I heard that your eldest sister was raised in the countryside because she was weak as a child?” Xu Fengyuan asked further.

“Yes,” Wei Yichen replied, then added, “Although my eldest sister grew up in the countryside, she is just as well-educated and sensible as my second sister.”

“I can see that. I’ve already witnessed her talents just now,” Xu Fengyuan said in agreement.

Then Xu Fengyuan continued, “To be honest, before today, my mother already mentioned that she favors your eldest sister.”
