Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Confrontation with Father_1

Without knocking or asking for permission, Wei Ruo burst directly into Wangmei Garden.

The old maid, Li, who had intended to stop her, was thrown aside by Xiumei. “Miss, what on earth are you doing?” Li fumed, her nose nearly skewed in anger.

Wei Ruo ignored her and proceeded directly towards where Wei Qingwan resided.

Wei Qingwan had been sleepless all night and was currently seated listlessly in front of her dressing table, contemplating the day’s happenings.

Wei Ruo’s intrusion was unexpected; she rose to her feet in surprise. “Sister… Sister, what are you doing?” she asked.

“Come with me to see Father,” Wei Ruo requested.

“When Father returns, I will pay my respects. It seems inappropriate for you to barge into my Wangmei Garden like this,” Wei Qingwan challenged.

Whether it’s appropriate or not, we can discuss that later,” Wei Ruo replied, making a signal to Xiumei.

Immediately following, Xiumei stepped forward, grabbed Wei Qingwan and attempted to lead her away.

Wei Qingwan tried to break free but, just like the night before, she had no chance of resisting Xiumei.

The maid, Li, rushed in to intervene but was stopped by Wei Ruo.

“Miss, you can’t be so excessive! You barged into Wangmei Garden first thing in the morning causing a commotion, and even had your maid assault the second miss. You’ve gone too far! I’m going to tell the Madam and have her decide!” Li accused Wei Ruo angrily.

No need for that, I’m taking Wei Qingwan to see our parents right now!”

Wei Ruo pushed Li aside.

“Aiyo—”

Li tumbled to the ground, her face, already full of wrinkles, crinkled even more from the pain.

While she was struggling, Wei Ruo and Xiumei had already taken Wei Qingwan away.

Li got up angrily and ran out in haste.

Meanwhile, in Cangyun Garden.

Wei Mingting and Lady Yun had woken up early. After sending for a doctor, Lady Yun had stayed by Wei Yichen’s side and had not returned yet.

Wei Mingting had visited Wei Yichen, then returned to Cangyun Garden to discuss some matters with the military officers who had rushed over for consultation.

Many things were going on in the army recently, with indications of the Japanese Pirates attacking again. Therefore, he couldn’t spare much time, which was also why he had returned late last night.

When Wei Ruo brought Wei Qingwan to Cangyun Garden, the military officers had just left.

Upon seeing Wei Ruo arriving with Wei Qingwan, Wei Mingting seemed surprised as well.

Ruoruo, what’s going on?” Wei Mingting asked with confusion.

“There’s something I wanted to discuss with Father. It is regarding eldest brother’s disappearance,” Wei Ruo replied.

“I intended to talk about this matter with you as well. I have many details to ask you. But why are you treating Wanwan like this?” Wei Mingting asked.

Tears were already streaming down the rouged face of Wei Qingwan who was dragged in forcibly. Looking at Wei Mingting with watery eyes, she seemed wronged.

She bit her lip, not uttering a word, but looked more pitiful than if she had spoken a thousand words.

“Because the issue of eldest brother being caught has a huge connection with our second sister. It can be said that ‘without her contribution’, eldest brother would not find himself in such a plight,” Wei Ruo watched Wei Qingwan’s innocent expressions coldly.

A tremor ran through Wei Qingwan’s heart. What did Wei Ruo mean by this?

Did she already know what had happened?

But the eldest brother hadn’t woken up yet, Wei Ruo shouldn’t have had a clue about it!

Wei Mingting frowned, his countenance becoming even more serious and solemn. He then gestured Wei Ruo to continue her explanation, “You keep on explaining.”

Just as Wei Ruo was about to speak, Lady Yun stormed into the room, followed by Li.

Obviously, sensing a dire situation, Li had gone to fetch Lady Yun.

When Lady Yun entered and saw Wei Qingwan, in a state of disarray kneeling on the floor, her anger flared up. Turning to Wei Ruo, she demanded, “I did not believe it when Li said you showed up bright and early at Wangmei Garden to take away somebody. I thought you would not behave so outrageously. But it’s true! Wanwan is your sister, can’t you just talk things out? What are you trying to do by causing such a commotion? ”

“Talking things out is often futile,” Wei Ruo responded.

While helping Wei Qingwan up, Lady Yun confronted Wei Ruo, “What exactly are you unable to discuss properly?”

With tears streaming down her face and her body trembling, Wei Qingwan appeared pitiful, causing Lady Yun to feel heartbroken.

About the situation where eldest brother got injured and almost died, should we discuss that as well?” Wei Ruo retorted.

Lady Yun’s facial expression froze in place: “What does Wanwan have to do with Yichen’s injuries?”

“On that day, eldest brother left the house to look for Qingwan. Mother should know that,” Wei Ruo replied.

“He did go out that day to look for Wanwan, but how could you blame her for his misfortune? It was just an accident!” Lady Yun retorted.

“An accident? Mother would say it’s an accident because Qingwan didn’t tell the truth. That night, she didn’t return home early, as she had said. Instead, she came back in the middle of the night.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Yichen only let the others in the house return early because he found Wanwan! Everyone in the house knows about this. Are you suggesting they are all lying?” Lady Yun retorted once more.

“Eldest brother said that that day to protect Qingwan’s reputation. It doesn’t mean he really found her. If he had truly found her, eldest brother would have let everyone return, not just a few, and he would not have kept looking with the guards who had sworn an oath of allegiance to him,” Wei Ruo stated her thoughts.

“What do you mean by that?” Lady Yun asked.

###

While the argument between Lady Yun, who had returned to Cangyun Garden, and Wei Ruo was going on, Wei Yichen woke up.

Xiaonan, who had been staying by Wei Yichen’s side, was incredibly relieved to see him wake up.

“Young Master, you’re finally awake!”

Help me up,” Yichen instructed, sitting upright against the headboard with Xiaonan’shelp.

“Young Master, how do you feel?” asked Xiaonan.

“Who saved me? I remember seeing Ruoruo.”

Young Master is correct, it was Miss Ruo who saved us! Miss Ruo is really amazing, finding us so quickly. If it weren’t for her accompanying the Madam to the provincial city for a few days, Young Master wouldn’t have suffered for so long!” Xiaonan exclaimed.

Wei Yichen did not respond and quietly gazed out of the window for a while before asking Xiaonan again, “How long was I unconscious?”

‘We returned to the estate yesterday afternoon. Young Master, you’ve slept for a whole day and night.”

“Help me get dressed,” Wei Yichen directed.

Huh?” Xiaonan was taken aback, “Young Master, you still haven’t fully recovered. You should rest more in bed.”

“No need, it’s just a fever and it has receded now. It won’t cause a major issue.”

Xiaonan had no choice but to comply.

While Xiaonan was changing him, Wei Yichen instructed her again, “Once you’ ve changed my clothes, help me do something.”

“What does Young Master want done?” asked Xiaonan.
