Chapter 411: My eldest sister saved me.
"No, everything you cook is delicious." Wei Yichen replied.
They were trapped for six days, and Wei Ruo and Xiumei cooked for them for six days. Although each meal was not exquisite, it was delicious.
"Then why are you just not eating?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Nothing."
Wei Yichen looked into Wei Ruo's eyes as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't. Then he lowered his head and ate the cake.
If he didn't say anything, Wei Ruo stopped asking and sat on the other side with Xiumei eating meatloaf with hot water.
Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo whose face was illuminated by the firelight from the corner of his eye, and his stern face softened a bit inadvertently.
Realizing that Wei Yichen seemed to be looking at him, Wei Ruo looked over. At this time, Wei Yichen calmly withdrew his gaze, and his expression had returned to indifference.
Wei Ruo and the others did not wait in the shed for too long. An hour after the three of them finished their dinner, the road was completely dug.
The three of them immediately set off back to the city.
The weeds and dead grass on the ground shoveled out during the snow shoveling in the past few days, as well as the bamboo leaves of the light bamboo used to build the shed, were all fed to the horses. During this period, Wei Ruo and Xiumei also went to the nearby snow to plow grass to feed the horses every day. , so the horse pulling the cart still has strength, but is just a little slower than usual.
It was already late at night when Wei Ruo and Wei Yichen returned to the General's Mansion. When they heard the servants coming to report, Yun and Wei Qingwan anxiously went out to greet them.
Yun had trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, because she received a letter from Wei Yichen before the heavy snowfall, saying that he would return home on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. However, it snowed heavily on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and she did not wait for the return of her eldest son.
She didn't know if the eldest son had left to go back to the city. It would be better if he stayed in the academy and didn't go out, because he was afraid that he would be trapped by the heavy snow on the way.
It's a pity that there is no correspondence and there is no news at all.
Now that there was finally news about her eldest son, Mrs. Yun couldn't help crying with joy.
"Chen'er, Chen'er, are you okay?" Mrs. Yun at the side door excitedly held Wei Yichen's hand and looked him up and down.
"I'm fine, mother, there's no need to worry." Wei Yichen replied.
"As long as it's okay, it's okay! My poor son, I don't know how you got here after so many days. Look at you, you've lost weight!" Mrs. Yun looked distressed.
Immediately after Wei Ruo got off the carriage and saw Wei Ruo, Yun was surprised: "Why did you come back with Chen'er?"
Wei Yichen explained on his behalf: "Ruo'er met us when he came back from reclaiming wasteland. We were trapped halfway together."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun glanced at Wei Ruo again: "I only thought you were enjoying the happiness in Yuan Mansion, but I didn't know that you were also trapped on the road." Wei Yichen argued
for Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er Living in Yuan Mansion is not a blessing, she lived in Yuan Mansion because she had something to do."
Then Wei Yichen added: "I was lucky to meet Ruo'er this time, otherwise my son and several classmates would have died. Halfway."
"Is that so?" Yun was a little surprised, then looked at Wei Ruo.
"This time, my son and his classmates encountered ice and snow on the road. They had neither food nor anything to keep out the cold and warm. For six days and six nights, without the food, clothing and charcoal provided by my eldest sister, they would have died of freezing and starvation on the roadside. "
Hearing Wei Yichen's words, Mrs. Yun was frightened for a while, and then she couldn't help but feel lucky. "I never thought there would be such an opportunity." Yun said with emotion, and then said to Wei Ruo, "You have saved your brother again. You are really your brother's lucky star!" At this moment, Yun forgot about Wei Ruo
. Ruo Ruo's many dissatisfactions looked at Wei Ruo's eyes with gratitude.
Regardless of whether she and her eldest daughter have a mother-daughter relationship, the blessings the eldest daughter brings to the family is real!
Wei Qingwan stepped forward: "Sister has been with eldest brother and his classmates these past few days. They are all men, and only sister is a woman. This must be very inconvenient, right? But it's okay at last. You all came back safely. Now."
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan coldly: "What do you want to express?"
Wei Qingwan lowered her head: "Sister, I don't mean anything else... I just think that there are a lot of inconveniences when there are differences between men and women..." Wei
Ruo said coldly: "I think what you want to say is not inconvenience, but the inconvenience. Are you saying that I stayed with so many foreign men for six days, which is detrimental to my reputation?"
Wei Qingwan denied with some grievance: "I didn't say that, sister, please don't accuse me unjustly..."
Wei Ruo sneered: "Are you wronged? How did I wrong you?"
Wei Ruo was so angry that Wei Qingwan was so frightened by Wei Ruo that she took a step back and hid behind Yun.
Yunshi said hurriedly: "Ruo'er, what are you doing like this? Although your sister's words don't sound good, they are true. Now that there are no outsiders around, why can't you say that you have done a good job?" "Mother." Wei Yichen stepped forward
. , stood in front of Wei Ruo, "The second sister's words just now may indeed give rise to bad associations. My eldest sister and I almost had an accident. As a sister in the family, her first reaction was not to care whether we were hungry or cold. Isn't it okay to suffer hardship and ask if there are any inconveniences in life these days?"
"This..." Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Yichen's serious and cold face, and for a moment she didn't know how to defend Wei Qingwan.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yichen asked Wei Qingwan: "When the second sister asked the eldest sister such a question, did she not trust me as the eldest brother, or did she not trust one of the eldest brother's classmates?" "Brother misunderstood, that is not what I meant." Wei Qingwan's expression when
questioned It was ugly, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Wei Yichen then asked: "In the face of life and death, when life is at stake, ordinary people only think about how to survive and have no time to think about some dirty things. Is the elder brother right, second sister?" Wei Qingwan's face turned pale
. , lowered his head and did not retort, but looked aggrieved and innocent.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen and thought to herself: It feels good to have someone stand up to help him fight against others.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yun quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, the most important thing is that everyone comes back safely. Ruo'er has always been by Chen'er's side, so there is nothing to worry about."
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to help Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo get their things, and then led Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo into the house.
Wei Yichen glanced at Wei Qingwan, who still had his head lowered, and followed Yun's wishes and did not continue the topic.
Wei Ruo stopped talking to Wei Qingwan. She was tired after so many days and didn't have the time to waste words with Wei Qingwan.
And she knew that Wei Qingwan only dared to talk about this matter in front of the Yun family. She didn't dare to go out, for fear of damaging her own reputation.
Because it was already late, and Wei Yichen stated that he was very sleepy, Yun didn't let the two of them talk for more, and just asked them to go back to bathe, change clothes, and rest early.
Wei Ruosheng returned to Tingsongyuan smoothly. After washing up, he lay down on the soft and warm bed and had a good sleep.
