Chapter 304 Private Meeting with the Mysterious Man
"Humph, you look like this again, your eyes turn red after just saying a few words to you, as if your tears are free of charge. There are no men here, and I don't know who you are showing off with this pretense! It's so boring!" "
Xu Yaojun suddenly felt bored, snorted coldly, stood up, turned around and left, ignoring Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head and pinched her sleeves to suppress the grievance.
She told herself in her heart that she shouldn't waste her energy on such people and things. She had people and things she wanted to cherish.
When class was over, Wei Qingwan and her personal maid Cui He walked out of the Tongzhi Mansion together and got on the carriage. Cui He couldn't help but comfort Wei Qingwan: "Miss, don't be sad. The big girl is lucky."
" I have nothing to feel sad about, it is her ability to marry high, and I did feel a little uncomfortable when Xu Yaojun and I were taunting me just now, but it was not because Wei Qingruo could marry high, but what Xu Yaojun said about the current situation in the Wei family is indeed true." Wei Qingwan explained.
The impact of Wei Ruo and Xu Fengyuan's marriage proposal on Wei Qingwan was much smaller than Cuihe and others imagined.
Cui He found that her young lady's temperament had really changed a lot recently, and she was no longer so easily sad and pessimistic. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Halfway through the journey, the carriage passed by an embroidery shop. The old slave driving the carriage skillfully turned the carriage into a nearby alley and stopped.
In the past few days, Wei Qingwan would pass by this embroidery shop on her way to and from get out of class, and every time she would ask the driver to stop and go inside.
Wei Qingwan is learning Suzhou embroidery from a top-notch embroiderer in the shop these days. In order to embroider better wedding dresses in the future, she spends about a stick of incense in this shop every day.
Each stay was short, so no one in the Wei family knew about it.
Cui He and the old servant who drove the car were the only ones who knew about it, but because the skills taught by the embroiderer were confidential, Cui He couldn't enter the house, so he only guarded outside with the old woman who drove the car.
In the room, the person standing opposite Wei Qingwan was not Xiu Niang, but a young man.
The man's face is like a crown jewel, his body is tall and straight, his hair is tied up in brocade clothes, and he has an extraordinary bearing.
Seeing the man, Wei Qingwan couldn't help but blush, like two peach blossoms blooming in early spring.
She lowered her head shyly, and the man stepped forward and gently hugged Wei Qingwan into his arms...

Wei Ruo returned to the house and once again saw Nanny Qin who came to find her.
Chu Lan really has perseverance. It's been a month and he hasn't given up yet.
When Nanny Qin saw Wei Ruo, her attitude was still respectful: "The eldest lady is back. Your Highness asked the old slave to give you something to give to the eldest lady."
Wei Ruo glanced at the things that Nanny Qin brought over. They were tea and wine. Look at the packaging. , it should be the black tea that Yusheng Teahouse is selling and the thyme that Zuixianju sells.
The two maids behind Grandma Qin also carried a box of things, which were all items that ordinary people would not be willing to use.
"Mother Qin, what is the reason for coming here today?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes. Big girl, the situation of refugees in the city is getting more and more serious now. If this continues, there will be no peace in Taizhou Prefecture." Nanny Qin said.
In early May, when Chu Lan first sent Nanny Qin to talk to Wei Ruo about the matter, the situation was not so critical. Now that a month has passed, the matter has become more serious, and the court has sent people to provide disaster relief.
However, in the past two years, the national treasury has become empty, and the disaster has spread widely, making it difficult to provide relief.
The emperor had a headache and got angry several times in the court. Everyone can see that whoever can help the emperor solve this big problem will be rewarded and favored by the emperor.
With such a great achievement in front of everyone, there was no reason why Chu Lan would let it go.
So it was rare for him to be so patient with one thing. Even though Wei Ruo refused so many times, he still sent people to invite Wei Ruo tirelessly.
"I heard that the Sixth Prince was sent to provide disaster relief?" Wei Ruo suddenly asked Nanny Qin a seemingly unrelated question.
Although Wei Ruo is just a commoner, she can still hear some news from the court thanks to Mrs. Yuan's channel.
"It is indeed true. If we calculate the time, we should already be in Taizhou Mansion. Or maybe we have arrived earlier. I don't know the specific situation." Nanny Qin replied.
Wei Ruo asked this, which already showed that she knew part of the reason why Chu Lan was so anxious to ask for her help.
Nowadays, the competition between the sixth prince and the seventh prince is fierce. The emperor is testing the two of them by sending one to fight against the Japanese army and the other to provide disaster relief.
"Mommy, I'm just a prostitute, someone who speaks lightly." Wei Ruo said to Nanny Qin.
The words were not clearly stated, but Wei Ruo knew that Nanny Qin could understand what she meant.
Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion was like an ant in front of the two princes, let alone Wei Ruo? Wei Ruo doesn't want to take sides or get involved in this dispute.
Aunt Qin put away her smile: "The eldest lady's worries are reasonable, but eldest lady, my Highness's patience is also limited. If the eldest lady doesn't give my Highness face, does she mean that she doesn't take my Highness seriously? What?"
At the end of the sentence, Nanny Qin's eyes suddenly became stern.
First be polite, then be a soldier. Chu Lan has already done this many times, but Wei Ruo has always refused, so now he wants to be a "soldier."
Nanny Qin then reminded Wei Ruo: "Miss, your Highness can cause Wei Mansion to be honored or to suffer Wei Mansion's loss. Maybe the eldest lady doesn't care so much about the Wei Mansion's 'honor', but for the Wei Mansion's 'loss', the eldest daughter will do the same." The girl should take it more seriously."
This threat was already very clear.
For the Seventh Prince, it was not difficult to get rid of the Wei Mansion, which was already in a weak state.
Wei Ruo was not too surprised when she saw Nanny Qin's cold face.
She naturally hoped to avoid the trouble of Chu Lan in a friendly way, but she also thought from the beginning that people like Chu Lan might not accept her rejection.
So after she refused him the first few times, Wei Ruo would think about how she would respond if Chu Lan ran out of patience and was too soft to be tough.
Therefore, when she saw Nanny Qin turning against her, her reaction remained calm.
But she couldn't help but secretly scolded Chu Lan from head to toe. She didn't understand the credit for her work, and even threatened her when he wanted to work for her. What a wolf-hearted bastard!
"Mom has misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to help His Highness Seventh." Wei Ruo changed his words, looking as usual and unhurried, "It's just that what His Highness wants to do is not easy to accomplish, and we need to think about it in the long term. "
What do you mean, Miss?" Nanny Qin looked at Wei Ruo curiously.
