Nanny Qin said, “As a young lady of a prestigious family, you should always watch your words and tread cautiously in front of others. If Miss Second often makes such mistakes, then I think Miss Second needs to read more books and learn more etiquette.’1

Wei Qingwan’s face turned pale and green at Nanny Qin’s words, but she couldn’t refute them.

She could only bow her head and bid Wei Ruo an awkward farewell: “Then, I will not disturb Sister and Nanny any longer.”

She left the osmanthus cake on the table and hurriedly left.

After Wei Qingwan left, Wei Ruo started discussing work related to the southern city with Nanny Qin. The workload was big and involved many people.

In order not to leave out any of Wei Ruo’s instructions, Nanny Qin requested a pen and paper to take notes.

“That’s all for now. Agriculture can’t be generalized. You have to make adjustments based on the local conditions and current situation. Future arrangements will constantly be changed according to the weather and the fields,” said Wei Ruo.

“I understand that. I was also raised in a farming family. In the future, whenever Miss has any orders, you can contact me at any time. If there are any problems or difficulties in the development of the southern city, I will report to Miss as soon as possible,” replied Nanny Qin.

“Good, thank you Nanny.”

Although Wei Ruo didn’t like Chu Lan’s involvement in this matter, she appreciated the attitude Nanny Qin brought to their work.

After Nanny Qin left, Wei Ruo paid a visit to Cangyun Garden.

Upon entering, she saw Wei Qingwan with her head bowed, talking to Madam Yun.

When Wei Qingwan saw Wei Ruo enter, she looked up at her, resentment in her eyes.

Madam Yun, on the other hand, faced her with a smile, “Ruo is here. How was your talk with Nanny?”

Wei Ruo answered, “Pretty decent.”

Madam Yun was pleased: “That’s good, that’s good. Keep in mind to never forget your manners.”

Wei Ruo added, “Speaking of manners, there’s a matter I’d like to discuss with Mother.”

Madam Yun was puzzled: “What is it?”

Wei Ruo said, “Today, while Nanny Qin and I were in a meeting, for some reason, Qingwan came to find me, disrupting our conversation.”

Hearing this, Madam Yun looked inquisitively at Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan quickly explained, “It was my mistake, I made some osmanthus cakes and wanted to bring some for Sister to try.”

Wei Ruo laughed softly: “If Qingwan wanted to bring me some osmanthus cakes, any time would be fine. Why did she specifically choose the time when Nanny Qin was present?”

Wei Qingwan explained, “Sister, don’t be angry. I was so engrossed in making the osmanthus cakes. After I finished, I just wanted Sister to taste them as soon as possible. I accidentally forgot that you were meeting with Nanny Qin.” “If you had forgotten, you should have seen Nanny Qin when you walked into Tingsong Garden. Why didn’t you choose to leave and come back later, rather than rudely interrupting our conversation?” Wei Ruo questioned.

“I…I didn’t think about it that much, I just wanted Nanny Qin to taste it too…” Wei Qingwan said resentfully.

“Qingwan, we may choose to believe your words, but if you were to say them in public, outsiders might think our Wei family doesn’t observe the proper etiquette. Today, Nanny Qin was here to discuss formal business. Everyone in the mansion is aware of it. Mother specifically instructed about it. But you still popped up at such a time. Those who don’t know might even think our Miss Wei lacks manners.”

Wei Qingwan looked crestfallen as she heavily teared up. She looked at Madam Yun pleadingly, “Mother, I didn’t… I really didn’t do it on purpose…”

“Ruo, isn’t it too serious? Since Wanwan knows her mistake, you shouldn’t keep blaming her.” Madam Yun interceded on behalf of Wei Qingwan.

“Mother doesn’t know that today, due to Qingwan’s reckless behavior, Nanny Qin was greatly upset,” Wei Ruo spoke.

Hearing that Nanny Qin was upset, Madam Yun’s expression changed.

She looked at Wei Qingwan, and said gravely, “Wanwan, you’re really thoughtless!”

At this, Wei Qingwan could no longer hold back her tears, which dropped one by one.

Wei Ruo went on, “As Mother knows, the last time at Huafa Temple, Qingwan bumped into a noble person, and had a clash with Miss Qian. Finally, after much difficulty, that noble person started viewing our family differently due to the matters of the southern city. If that person gets a bad impression because of today’s incident…I’m worried…”

Wei Ruo purposefully made it sound serious.

Actually, Wei Ruo knew that Nanny Qin wouldn’t likely report such a trivial matter to Chu Lan. But that didn’t prevent her from using Chu Lan to scare Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan. freewebno vel.co m

Madam Yun, who originally intended to overstep the issue, felt serious after hearing Wei Ruo’s words. She straightened her face, and spoke to Wei Qingwan solemnly:

“Wanwan, you were indeed wrong in this matter. I’ll punish you to copy the house rules ten times as a precaution!”

Hearing these words, Wei Qingwan was completely stunned.

From childhood, she had always been the most docile and sensible child in the eyes of her father and mother. She had never been punished before, it had always been her younger brother who was punished to copy texts. However, today it was suddenly her turn?

“Daughter understands…” Wei Qingwan bowed her head, her hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves.

In Yizhu Garden, Xiaobei told Wei Jinyi, “Young Master, the person sent by the Seventh Prince has left.”

“What did they discuss with Ruo?” Asked Wei Jinyi.

“Just about the wasteland in the southern city, they didn’t discuss anything else,” Xiaobei reported.

“Hm.” Wei Jinyi paused for a moment before asking, “Is Ruo very busy these days?”

It had been some days since Wei Ruo last visited Yizhu Garden.

“Yes, Miss goes out early and returns late every day. There are a lot of things that need her to make decisions,” Xiaobei replied.

“Go next door and call Lady Xiumei. The kitchen has received some game, but you don’t know how to cook it. Ask her for some help,” Wei Jinyi instructed.

“Yes, Young Master, I’ll go now.” freewe(b)novel.com

Xiaobei joyfully headed towards Tingsong Garden.

On his way, Xiaobei realized that the pheasant and wild rabbit were sent to the Young Master from outside, and not provided by the mansion’s main kitchen.

The young master didn’t use to be fond of game, but a couple of days ago he unexpectedly asked someone to bring some for him.

And it’s been two days since the game was delivered and the young master didn’t let him touch it.

Initially, he was puzzled, but now he understood. The young master was waiting for Lady Xiumei to have some time to cook it.

Of course, Lady Xiumei does cook better than him and wouldn’t waste the ingredients.

When he reached the courtyard gate, Xiaobei relayed Wei Jinyi’s request to Lady Xiumei.

“Then I must ask my Miss.”

“Lady Xiumei, you go and ask. I’ll wait here at the gate.”

“Okay.”

Lady Xiumei turned around and went back inside. After a short while, she returned.

“My miss has agreed. However, she did say that she had planned for me to prepare some snacks for her this afternoon. Now that Young Master has called me over, she won’t have her snack. You should ask your Young Master what he plans to compensate my Miss with for her snack..”
