Blessed Daughter

Chapter 400: Chu Lan bid farewell to Wei Ruo

"Yeah. I can't hide it from my father." Wei Ruo admitted frankly.

"Is it because of Wanwan that Ruo'er is so anxious to find a good son-in-law?" Wei Mingting asked.

"It's not all. Father knows that I have indeed reached the age to discuss marriage. Didn't mother want to arrange for me to discuss marriage with Mr. Xu? Rather than waiting for a marriage that doesn't suit my wishes and being bound in a high wall and deep courtyard, it's better Plan ahead."

In front of Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo did not hide his true thoughts.

"If you are worried about being arranged for an inappropriate marriage, there is no need to do so. With me here, I will not let you marry into a deep house that you don't want to go to." Wei Mingting said loudly.

"Thank you, father, but my daughter thinks that Mr. Zhao Er is very good in all aspects, and he is a good match for her daughter." Wei Ruo replied with a firm attitude.

Wei Mingting was silent.

After a while, Wei Mingting spoke again: "If Ruo'er really thinks it's suitable to be a father, I won't say anything, but as a father, I need to investigate again, and I need to confirm his character and physical condition."

"Listen to father." Wei Ruo said.

After another silence, Wei Mingting asked Wei Ruo: "What does Ruo'er think about Wanwan's marriage?"

"My daughter has no opinion. It is my sister's blessing to be selected, and I bless her." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Mingting frowned and looked at Wei Ruo, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Wei Mingting let Wei Ruo go back.

Coming out of Wei Mingting's study, Xiumei said happily, "Miss, you are thoughtful, you guessed that if you really find a dying person, the master might not agree."

"I also changed my mind recently, considering that it would be easier for the Wei family to agree. It just happened that Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun were willing to help me with this, so I simply arranged it like this."

It's just that it may be relatively troublesome to get out in this way.

"We don't have to go back to this house when Miss gets married. Then Miss can do whatever she wants, and don't have to look at their faces anymore!" Xiumei said full of expectation.

"Well. If it goes well."

Before that, Wei Ruo couldn't be too happy.

The breakaway plan has been brewing for so long, and when it comes to practice, Wei Ruo is also a little nervous while looking forward to it.

Wei Mingyong thought about it all night.

Now that I have borrowed the three hundred taels, I will be able to ask Wei Qingwan to find an errand for him in the future.

Once Wei Qingwan is favored, the benefits he can bring will be much higher than the three hundred taels.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Wei Mingyong finally decided to lend the three hundred taels of silver to Wei Qingwan.

So Wei Mingyong found an opportunity to meet Wei Qingwan, and after complaining, he gave Wei Qingwan the three hundred taels of silver.

"Wanwan, even if it's the second uncle, the three hundred taels is not a small sum. You should keep it carefully, and don't lose it."

The implication: You have to remember this great kindness.

"My niece will remember the kindness of the second uncle." Wei Qingwan replied.

Wei Mingyong was very satisfied with this answer: "Wanwan, you can rest in peace of mind and wait for your marriage. Your good days are in the future."

"Borrow the auspicious words from the second uncle."

The stone in Wei Qingwan's heart fell to the ground after receiving the silver.

After separating from Wei Mingyong, she immediately sent Madam Li to Tongdetang in the provincial capital to buy ointment with a silver ticket.

"Miss, it's all over now, the ointment is gone. It seems that the eldest lady is also real. She is really going to marry a sick and poor scholar." Cui He sneered.

"She is such a smart and calculating person, would she really find such a marriage for herself? I still don't believe it, and I always feel that there is a fraud in it."

"Miss, don't worry, the eldest lady can't do any tricks, no matter how hard she tries, it's impossible for her to have a better marriage than yours!"

"That's true."

Although the current status of the Wei family has improved a lot, and it is much easier for the girls of the Wei family to talk about marriage, but no matter what, Wei Qingruo will marry a son of a family with similar status. Still worse.

Because he was busy with the reservoir, Wei Ruo hadn't been to his village for several days.

Today was a rare time, so Wei Ruo took the time to change into men's clothes and inspected his property.

Because October is coming soon, the weather is starting to turn cold, and many preparations for winter have to be made.

The first stop Wei Ruo went to was Younan Farm. Just as the carriage stopped, Wei Ruo poked his head out of the carriage.

The person standing in front of Wei Ruo froze.

Chu Lan.

Why is he here?

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ruo calmly got off the carriage.

This is her place and she can come whenever she wants, there's no need to cringe.

"Long time no see."

Chu Lan stepped forward, staring at Wei Ruo with a pair of deep eyes.

Wei Ruo smiled politely: "What's the matter?"

Wei Ruo's attitude darkened Chu Lan's expression: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"I wish Brother Zhu a smooth journey." Wei Ruo said.

Chu Lan frowned: "You really hate me that much?"

"Master Zhu, you have a noble status, I dare not judge you indiscriminately, let alone hate you or not."

Chu Lan smiled wryly and said, "Forget it. Today I'm leaving Taizhou Mansion and going back to the capital. I don't know when we'll see you next time."

Chu Lan temporarily finished his work as the warlord of the Anti-Japanese Army in Taizhou Prefecture, and will leave for the capital in a few days.

Before leaving, he wanted to see Xu Heyou again.

But he didn't know when Xu Heyou would return to Younan Farm, so he could only wait outside the Younan Farm.

During this period, Chu Lan's staff advised him more than once to hurry up and leave. The imperial edict had already arrived, and if he delayed, he would be punished if he would not arrive in the capital in time.

But Chu Lan insisted on waiting.

After waiting for three days, Xu Heyou finally arrived.

"We will meet again if we are destined."

Best to miss it.

"I also hope that we have this fate." Chu Lan said, staring at Wei Ruo with deep and long eyes.

Wei Ruo didn't answer.

Chu Lan continued: "Master Xu, won't you invite me in for a sit-down? Just treat it as a practice for me."

Wei Ruo refused in her heart, but looking at Chu Lan's expression, she didn't dare to refuse directly, fearing that things would backfire too much.

After thinking about it, Wei Ruo decided to agree. Anyway, after Chu Lan returns to the capital after today, there is a high probability that the two will never meet again.

"If Mr. Zhu doesn't mind, come in and have a cup of tea in the humble house." Wei Ruo said.

Only then did Chu Lan smile.

Wei Ruo invited Chu Lan into the farm, and Chu Lan proposed to go to the small courtyard where he lived, and Wei Ruo agreed.

There is a tea stove in front of the stone table in the courtyard, boil water, make tea, and serve several dishes of preserved fruit snacks.

Wei Ruo and Chu Lan sat opposite each other.

The morning sun fell on the two of them like a layer of golden veil.

Chu Lan couldn't help thinking back to the days when she was recovering from her injuries in the Younan Farm. After careful calculation, it has been a long time.
