It was better when Xie Jue and Xie Ying were here. Now that his brother and sister are gone, Xiumei Linfang and the others have also withdrawn, leaving only the two of him here, this feeling has become obvious.
“What’s wrong?” Wei Jin also asked with concern after noticing that Wei Ruo was distracted.
In fact, from just now until now, he has not been able to concentrate on doing his own thing.
So if the child loses his mind, he will notice it.
He wanted to know what was troubling her mind and making her unable to concentrate on her work.
“It’s nothing.” Wei Ruo hurriedly denied.
She didn't want to admit that she had some **** for her second brother for a moment.
Wei Ruo thought, it should be that this body has reached its age. When a person grows to a certain period of time, the secretion of various hormones will increase, which is the so-called hormonal explosion.
I think it was also because of the influence of hormones that she had some changes in her heartbeat when she saw her second brother.
Who gave her second brother such a beautiful face? Everyone has a love for beauty, and it is only natural for people to feel a little tempted after seeing such a handsome man too much.
So Wei Ruo felt that the matter itself was not serious, and it would be fine after a while.
Wei Jin also narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely feeling that Wei Ruo seemed to be hiding something from him.
"Ruo'er, if you have any troubles, you can tell me." Wei Jin also said.
“Nothing to worry about.”
Of course she couldn't tell Wei Jinyi that for a few moments she coveted his beauty.
Er brother is such a serious person, if he knew that she had lustful thoughts about him, he would be frightened.
She could imagine him being shy and telling her seriously to stop messing around.
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo, not daring to ask further questions.
His intuition told him that Ruoer was hiding something from him.
But she didn't want to tell him, and he was afraid of making her unhappy if he asked further.
Wei Ruo thought for a while and then changed the topic with business: "Second brother, I plan to take in another group of refugees in the Hejian Manor. Next year I plan to expand the scope of cotton planting and need more labor."
“It would be good if I decided these things.”
"Second brother also has a share in the coal mines and cotton fields in Hejian Prefecture. I have to talk to him about it," Wei Ruodao said.
"I believe in Ruo'er's choice. You are better at this than me." Wei Jin also said.
Wei Ruo felt a little warm in his heart. This feeling of being trusted unconditionally was quite good.
Then Wei Ruo said: "In the past few days, several ladies have approached me and said that they would contribute money and efforts to help relieve the victims outside the city and maintain stability inside and outside the capital. I agreed."
These people are very smart. If they buy their own food and imitate Wei Ruo in giving porridge to save people, it would be a thankless task with Wei Ruo in front of them.
And the resource arrangements they have are obviously not as good as Wei Ruo, who has made preparations in advance. It is very difficult to do what Wei Ruo does.
Why not come to Wei Ruo to make a name for yourself? You can also build a good reputation without spending too much effort. You only need to spend some money.
Wei Ruo is naturally happy. She can get not only money from these people, but also solve other problems with these people.
In the end, it is equivalent to her role in integrating resources and creating a win-win situation.
“Yeah.” Wei Jin also unconditionally supported any decision made by Wei Ruo.
"I also plan to set up a charity foundation composed of ladies and ladies from various aristocratic families in the capital." Wei Ruodao.
“Charitable foundation?” Wei Jin also asked. "It means that everyone who has money will come together to help the common people who need help. They want to be famous, and the people can benefit from it, killing two birds with one stone." Wei Ruodao.
"Ruo'er always has many novel ideas." Wei Jin couldn't help but say.
"I just saw someone doing this before, so I just copied it." Wei Ruodao.
Although times and environments are different, some people have the same ideas and needs.
After talking about his own affairs, Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi about the situation in the court.
"I heard that all the ministers in the DPRK and China have turned against Chu Lan these days? Has the Fan family become Chu Lan's supporters now?"
The Fan family was the most influential family in the court except the Lu and Qi families, and had previously supported King Yu.
Normally, she would not ask Wei Jinyi about these things, so even though the two of them had been living together in Prince Rui's residence, Wei Ruo had never asked him specifically.
Today, the two of them were in the same room, and they had some free time, so they chatted by the way, so as not to be too quiet for a lifetime of embarrassment, and to save her from thinking about random things.
“This is indeed the case so far.” Wei Jin also replied.
“In my second brother’s opinion, has King Yu really lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince?” Wei Ruo asked again.
“So far, yes.”
“Then second brother, is it...?”
“If you want to ask, you can ask directly without any worries.”
Wei Ruo thought for a while and asked, "Is the second brother still planning to seek revenge from King Yu?"
Now that the Qi family has been ransacked, and everyone related to the Xu Guo case led by Qi Yansong has been imprisoned, she wonders if her second brother can let go.
"Chu Heng was just a baby at the time. It is true that he was not involved in what happened back then. I don't have to seek revenge from him, but there is still one person in the palace who has to pay the price for this." Wei Jin also replied.
Concubine Qi has only been demoted, which is not enough for Wei Jinyi. She cannot comfort everyone in the Xu family because she died in vain.
Wei Jin also said to Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, don't worry, I can protect you and I will escape safely."
He had thought about what to do before he asked her to be Princess Rui. He would help her do what she wanted to do instead of letting her get caught up in the vortex of fighting and worry about it.
“I believe in second brother.” Wei Ruo said firmly.
Wei Ruo didn't know why she believed him so much, but looking into his eyes, Wei Ruo subconsciously felt at ease.
"Ruo'er..." Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo, feeling her trust in him.
Suddenly, Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jin was looking at him with a fiery gaze.
She looked away abruptly.
"Well...this tea is getting cold. I'll ask Meimei to make another pot."
Wei Ruo got up and walked outside.
As she walked, Wei Ruo thought to herself: The heater in the room was burning too brightly, causing her to sweat a little.
Wei Jin also looked at the door that Wei Ruo had closed after leaving, and couldn't help but feel worried. Ruo'er was a little unusual today.
It seemed that there was something she was hiding from him, or that his behavior today bothered her a little, because her abnormality started when she was burned.
He could suppress his love for her, but he could not suppress his body's subconscious concern for her.
He should be more careful next time...
