"You haven't asked me about this, have you?" Wei Ruo asked back, still feeling the same alienation and indifference.
"If you didn't take the initiative to mention it, how could my mother have guessed that you would have such an adventure in the countryside of Huzhou Prefecture?" Yun said.
Mrs. Bai hurriedly helped Mrs. Yun to say good things: "Yes, Princess, your mother only knows that you have suffered a lot in the countryside of Huzhou Prefecture, and she feels very sorry for you. How can she dare to mention your sad past casually? What if this is the case? What should I do if I make you sad for no reason?"
Wei Ruo was not surprised to see the Bai family speaking for the Yun family. Although the Bai family was secretly competing with the Yun family behind their backs, she should still be able to distinguish what was important and what was important in the interests of the Wei family.
“I have indeed not taken the initiative to mention it to you, so what?” Wei Ruo asked.
Yunshi felt a pain in her heart and turned a little pale.
Mrs. Bai hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "It's really nothing. It's just that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, your grandfather and grandmother were shocked by this incident. For a moment, they didn't know how to respond to other people's inquiries. What your grandparents meant was that if you still If you want to hide something from us, tell us in advance so that we can be prepared and not be in a hurry when the time comes."
“I can’t tell you more about my affairs,” Wei Ruodao said.
Wei Ruo's attitude was cold. Yunshi and Baishi's expressions became stiff again and again, but they could only endure it.
Yunshi remained silent, while Baishi smiled apologetically: "Princess Rui doesn't want to talk if she doesn't want to. You can tell us when you feel better."
Immediately afterwards, Bai asked: "By the way, Princess Rui, I heard that the emperor plans to select one of the princes to be the minister of the Ministry of Works to supervise the affairs of the Qingli Department of Dushui, the Ministry of Works. Is this relevant?"
“I don’t know what happened in the court.”
Wei Ruo's light words directly blocked Bai and Yun's throats.
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of Yun and Bai.
Yun's expression was a little complicated, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Bai frowned, with anxiety in her eyes.
Then he nudged Yunshi with his elbow.
Yun did not move during the first blow, and Bai pushed again.
Yunshi then said, "Ruo'er, there were some things I didn't do well for my mother before. I hope you can forgive me."
Yunshi apologized to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo, who was shaking, suddenly stopped, then raised his eyes to look at Yunshi, with a smile on his lips, the old **** asked: "What do you want to ask me to do?"
There must be a reason for such a sudden apology.
Yunshi pursed her lips, thinking about how to answer.
She came here this time indeed at the request of everyone in the family to ask her daughter to do something.
But at the same time, she also had other reasons...
During this period, as Wanwan did various things, she began to realize that she might have really wronged her biological daughter in the past.
Her Wanwan is really not as kind and simple as she thought.
Yunshi was unwilling to admit her mistakes. It was not easy to apologize like this today, so after thinking about it, she replied: "Why can't Ruo'er think of the bright side? Why do you think of your mother so badly?"
Wei Ruo raised her lips and smiled softly: "You have always come to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, so you must have something to do here today, right? You have laid the groundwork for this, so why don't you explain your purpose clearly in one breath?"
“Oh? Really?” Wei Ruo raised an eyebrow. "That's natural!" Bai gave an affirmative answer.
Then the maid who followed him hurriedly brought a few gift boxes.
“These are gifts for the princess, specialties brought from Huzhou Prefecture, including silk, dried bamboo shoots, smoked bean tea and potato vermicelli.”
Wei Ruo smiled lightly and did not comment.
Bai Shi could only bite the bullet and continue: "That's it for today, let's go back first."
After saying that, Mrs. Bai took Mrs. Yun and said goodbye to Wei Ruo.
The two left the palace. Xiumei checked the gifts sent by the Wei family. They were indeed specialties of Huzhou Prefecture as they said.
"Why are they so nice this time? They didn't ask you to do anything, Miss. They even gave you gifts." Xiumei asked.
“They don’t ask for anything, they just don’t dare to say it directly. They have already said that, and if they speak again, won’t it seem that they are not sincere today?”
Just now, Bai Shi had already started to speak halfway, but was blocked by her cold attitude.
“Miss, what are your plans?” Xiumei asked.
"Just pretend I don't know. If they don't explain clearly, I will continue to pretend to be confused. When they explain clearly, I will find some excuses to shirk it." Wei Ruo didn't bother to think about this problem.
Xiumei nodded heavily.

Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Cuitingxuan.
“Sister, you and Princess Rui haven’t moved around for a long time. These days, the prince just got some pearls from Nanyang as tribute. Please help my sister send them to Prince Rui’s Mansion to Princess Rui.”
Qi Shijing brought a whole box of pearls and said to Wei Qingwan with a smile.
Wei Qingwan looked at the round and plump pearls in the box, her expression a little stiff.
Each pearl here is a valuable treasure when taken alone, and there is a box full of such pearls.
What made Wei Qingwan even more uncomfortable was that Qi Shijing actually wanted to send such a whole box of pearls to Wei Qingruo.
Seeing that Wei Qingwan was in a daze and did not reply immediately, Qi Shijing asked with concern: "What's wrong, sister Wan'er?"
"No...it's okay. I was thinking about the unhappiness I had with Sister Ruo'er before, and I was afraid that Sister Ruo'er would still remember me this time, so I was a little worried."
"You are sisters from the same mother. There is no hatred, but there is hatred. Sister, if you sincerely apologize, the matter will be over, right?" The smile on Qi Shijing's face did not diminish.
"Yes...yes." Wei Qingwan bit her lip.
She understood what Qi Shijing meant, which was to ask her to lie low, apologize to Wei Qingruo, and pray for Wei Qingruo's forgiveness!
"Sister Wan'er, you should also know that recently our prince wants to take over the position of supervising the construction of warships. Even if he is not the prince himself, he must be someone from the prince, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for our prince." Qi Shijing continued.
“I understand.”
Wei Qingwan also heard about it.
"Then my sister must have heard that this matter originated from Prince Rui and Princess Rui, so the opinions of Prince Rui and Princess Rui are very important. If they speak up, my father will definitely adopt it." Qi Shijing mentioned again.
