Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Xie Family Agreed—1

Translator: 549690339

“It’s not that you’re not qualified, it’s just that, over the years, you indeed have not been studying, and your knowledge is thinner compared to Wanwan and the others.” Wei Yichen explained.

“Mm-hmm.” Wei Ruo calmly replied.

“Ruoruo, your mother will still do her utmost to arrange for you to have lessons at the magistrate’s office.” Yichen added.

Although Madam Qian and Madam Yun were both trying hard to send their daughters to the Xie Residence, the lady tutor at the magistrate’s office should not resign so soon, especially since the daughters of the chief clerk’s and county magistrate’s families were still her students.

Even if the Qian family no longer invites her in the future, the Wei Residence could logically invite the lady tutor to the house. In that way, Wei Ruo’s studying would not be affected.

“Oh.” Wei Ruo remained calm and composed.

There was not much else to say.

“Ruoruo…” Yichen felt uneasy seeing Wei Ruo’s calm demeanor.

“If there’s nothing else, then I shall return first.” Wei Ruo didn’t want to continue this topic with Yichen and left after speaking.

After Wei Ruo left, Wei Yichen thought for a while, then went back to Cangyun Garden and shared his idea with Madam Yun, “Mother, when you go to the Xie Residence again, could you ask Madam Xie if Ruoruo could also be arranged to go there?”

Madam Yun hesitated, “Yichen, if it were possible, I would desperately want my two daughters to become Mr. Wang Caiwei’s students. But given Ruo’s situation… with her lacking proficient skills in musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, how am I to bring this up with Madam Xie?”

Hearing these words, Wei Yichen didn’t know what to say. free webno vel

He was aware of his younger sister Ruoruo’s situation. She was not as skilled as Wanwan in musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, or painting.

The magistrate’s office agreed to let Ruoruo study there because their father was the loyal and illustrious Wei Mingting, and because they were from the Duke’s Residence.

The Xie family and Mr. Wang Caiwei were unlikely to favor them for these reasons.

As a brother, he wished the best for both his sisters and didn’t want either of them to be wronged.

“Mother, you could still give it a try. If the Xie family refuses, it’s their choice. We should at least ask on Ruoruo’s behalf.” Wei Yichen suggested.

“Yichen, we were already somewhat taking liberties when we asked Madam Xie to let Wanwan study there too. If we included Ruoruo, especially considering her situation, we may offend the Xie family, and then even Wanwan may not be allowed to go. What then?”

Madam Yun was deeply worried. It’s better to have one accepted than both being rejected, right?

“I understand, Mother.” Hearing Madam Yun’s explanation, Wei Yichen reluctantly agreed to drop the idea.

After mulling over her plan for three days, Madam Yun visited the Xie Residence bearing gifts.

She didn’t return until late in the evening.

Upon arriving home, Madam Yun looked exhilarated.

Wei Qingwan had been waiting at home for the whole day. She had her maid Cuihe keep watch at the door, and as soon as Madam Yun returned, she rushed to Cangyun Garden. freew ebnovel.com

“Mother!”

“Wanwan, you’re here! Perfect timing. I have some good news to tell you!”

“Mother, what good news?”

“Silly girl, what else could it be? The good news is that the Xie family has agreed to let you and Miss Xie attend Mr. Wang Caiwei’s lessons together!” “Really? The Xie family has truly agreed?” Wei Qingwan’s face lit up with joy; she could hardly believe her own ears.

“Of course, it’s true!”

“Mother!” Wei Qingwan, overwhelmed with excitement, hugged Madam Yun.

Madam Yun gently patted Qingwan’s back,” Alright, alright. Things went smoothly. I can finally put my mind at ease.”

“Thank you, Mother, for all your efforts on my behalf. You’ve worked hard.”

“Silly girl, it’s a parent’s duty to make efforts for their child. If you have a promising future, your mother will naturally feel happy.”

That evening, Wei Mingting returned home.

Madam Yun excitedly shared the news with him: “Husband, the Xie family has agreed to let our daughter attend classes at their house!”

“Really?”

“Absolutely. Madam Xie personally agreed, and Mr. Wang Caiwei was also present at the time.” Madam Yun was gleeful.

“That’s wonderful.” Wei Mingting was pleased; his daughter having Mr. Wang Caiwei as her tutor was naturally a good thing.

After a pause, Wei Mingting added, “Don’t forget about Ruoruo. You need to arrange a school for her quickly. If Ruoruo doesn’t want to leam, that’s her decision, but you still need to handle the necessary arrangements.”

“Rest assured, husband. The magistrate’s wife has already agreed. The only uncertainty is whether the Xie family will also let Miss Qian attend lessons. If they do, the magistrate’s wife might not invite a tutor anymore.”

“If the magistrate’s wife doesn’t, then invite the tutor to our house. Not only for Ruoruo, but also for the daughters of other families. They all need to study,” Wei Mingting instructed.

“I understand.” Madam Yun had the same idea.

While inviting a tutor to their house would incur extra expenses, Wanwan was already settled at the Xie Residence and it wouldn’t do for Ruoruo to miss out too much.

Additionally, by inviting the current Qian family’s tutor to their house, they would get closer to the Chief Clerk and the County Magistrate’s residences.

Even though Wei Mingting was a martial officer and didn’t have many public interactions with these two families, maintaining a good relationship always helped, especially in Xingshan County.

After two days, word from the magistrate’s office came that the Xie family had not allowed Qian Zhilan to study at their house.

Madam Xie declined gracefully, since the Qian family had their own tutor.

Madam Qian was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.

That evening, Madam Yun convened a meeting with Wei Ruo: “Ruoruo, I’ve given you plenty of time for the vacant land on the south side of the city. Leave the rest for Granny Zhang to deal with. You should go study at the magistrate’s office now.”

“Understood.”

Unexpectedly, this time, Wei Ruo didn’t negotiate with Madam Yun and accepted her instructions calmly.

So Madam Yun continued, “And then there is the issue of the carriage at home…”

Madam Yun looked somewhat troubled.

Previously, when Wei Qingwan was the only one studying at the magistrate’s office, the carriage only needed to transport her once in the morning and once in the evening.

According to the original plan, Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo were both supposed to go to the magistrate’s office, which would only require the carriage to take one additional person, posing no problem at all.

But now, the situation has grown complicated. Wei Qingwan is supposed to go to the Xie Residence in the north, and Wei Ruo is supposed to go to the magistrate’s house. The two are not traveling the same route.

Wei Ruo gave a scoffing sound. “Mother, are you trying to tell me that because the Xie Residence in the north is farther from the Military Prefecture, you plan on giving the carriage to Wei Qingwan, who’s going there, and since the magistrate’s house is closer, please have me walk there?”

“Of course, we can’t let you walk there. I’ll buy another carriage. It will be a bit smaller than the one we currently have.. The family’s resources aren’t extensive at the moment, so when things get better, I’ll get you a bigger one, ok?”
