“Hmm, I need five large carriages, I have quite a lot of belongings and you’re aware of it, Mother,” said Wei Ruo.
Madam Yun nodded, “I understand.”
Then, Wei Ruo told Madam Yun about her visit to Xie Residence.
“I will continue studying with Mr. Wang in the future, so Mother does not need to worry about handling my studies anymore,” said Wei Ruo.
Hearing this, Madam Yun looked surprised, “What did you say? How can you continue studying with Mr. Wang after moving to the government city?” “Madam Xie and Miss Xie are moving to the Capital city, Mr. Wang has no plans to go there,” Wei Ruo replied.
Upon hearing this, both Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan looked at her with eager anticipation.
“Are you saying that Mr. Wang will stay?” Madam Yun hurriedly asked.
Wei Qingwan also stared at Wei Ruo with excited eyes.
Wei Ruo’s mouth curved into a slight smile as she answered calmly, “Yes.”
“Then, can we invite Mr. Wang to our house?” Madam Yun asked happily.
Although hiring a tutor would increase expenses and cause inconvenience, the benefits were undoubtedly substantial.
Without waiting for Wei Ruo’s answer, Madam Yun began to speak to herself, “If we could invite Mr. Wang to our house, Wanwan’s problem of studying would be solved as well.”
Wei Qingwan blushed and nodded shyly.
“Having Mr. Wang’s guidance would be greatly beneficial for Wanwan’s future,” Madam Yun couldn’t help but sigh.
Not to mention anything else, just the temperament and insight of her eldest daughter was inseparably linked to Mr. Wang’s teachings.
Even in the future, when arranging a marriage, being tutored by Mr. Wang Caiwei would certainly raise her credibility with the in-laws.
Madam Yun added, “Additionally, when we move to the government city, we will be unfamiliar with the families there. But having Mr. Wang would definitely attract many official’s daughters to come to our house for studies. This would be an excellent opportunity to build relationships with families in the government city.”
Madam Yun’s plan was perfect, but she didn’t expect Wei Ruo’s next words to pour cold water on her plan.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible, Mr. Wang already has a new place to go,” said Wei Ruo.
“A new place? Where? Didn’t you just say that you will continue studying with Mr. Wang?” asked Madam Yun, puzzled.
“Yes, Mr. Wang will go to the prefecture’s office next, and both Mr. Wang and Madame Yuan have agreed that I can continue studying with Mr. Wang. Therefore, even after moving to the government city, I can still study under Mr. Wang,” explained Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo’s answer froze the smiles on both Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan’s faces.
Especially Wei Qingwan, her expression clearly showed her disappointment.
Madam Yun inquired, “Mr. Wang was invited by Madam Yuan? But as far as I remember, there are no girls studying in Madam Yuan’s house. Why would they invite Mr. Wang?”
Wei Ruo replied, “It’s for the Yuan Family’s clan.”
The Yuan Family is a family of scholars and officials, their family is filled with talents, and the women in their family are all dignified and beautiful daughters from a noble family.
“The Yuan Family, being such a large and noble family clan, shouldn’t they have their own tutor?” questioned Madam Yun.
“That’s indeed the case in Dongyang, but here in Taizhou prefecture it involves the Yuan Family’s side branch, they might not have an appropriate female tutor,” explained Wei Ruo.
In fact, Madam Yuan is not aware of Mr. Wang Caiwei’s situation, Wei Ruo just got to know about this in Xie’s Residence in the afternoon, it is impossible that she had worked it out with Madam Yuan by the evening.
Wei Ruo used this explanation to sidestep and later she would arrange to bring Mr. Wang to her side, by then if people from the Wei Family ask, she would just say that the Yuan Family had made other arrangements with Mr. Wang.
Madam Yun’s voice displayed her disappointment, “So, it’s like that.”
Wei Qingwan bit her lip, she wanted Madam Yun to speak for her, asking Wei Ruo to speak to Yuan Family and allow her to study with Mr. Wang, too.
Before, Xie Family didn’t agree because she was already studying in the magistrate’s office, Madam Xie didn’t want to snatch people from the magistrate’s office.
Now, she is moving to the government city, that issue doesn’t exist anymore.
However, Wei Qingwan waited for a long time without hearing her mother say anything.
This made Wei Qingwan feel depressed.
If it were before, her mother would absolutely not ignore her, but now, her attitude towards her was far more than a little cold.
Maybe it’s because of Wei Qingruo, or maybe it’s because of what He family said before.
In any case, her position in her parents’ heart was no longer as high as before.
With this trend, it wouldn’t be long before she might be driven out of the Wei Family, right?
Wei Qingwan, after waiting a while, finally couldn’t hold it any longer and spoke softly, “Mother, Madam Yuan is generous, she might not have remembered the previous incident.”
But before Madam Yun could respond, Wei Ruo directly intervened, “Even Qingwan admits there’s a ‘might.’ What if Madam Yuan does remember? Won’t you be afraid to annoy Madam Yuan because of it? Can the Wei Family afford to offend either Duchess Huaiwang or Yuan Family?”
Wei Qingwan wanted to argue, but she was interrupted by Madam Yun, “Let’s leave this matter for now. Your father’s career is just taking off, we must be even more careful and cautious, not to drag him down.”
Although Madam Yun loved Wei Qingwan, when compared with her husband’s career, the latter was more important.
Wei Qingwan was forced to swallow all her words back into her stomach.
Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden after discussing everything with Madam Yun.
Soon after Wei Qingwan said farewell to Madam Yun, she returned to Wangmei Garden with a heavy and depressed heart.
She thought about her own situation all the way, she was incapable of contending with Wei Qingruo with just her and nursemaid’s power, they couldn’t shake Wei Qingruo’s status at home at all.
No, she can’t just sit and wait for her fate, she must find a solution, she absolutely doesn’t want to go back to the He Family!
After the New Year, she’ll be fourteen, undergoing the ritual of hairpin for girls, now while she’s still the daughter of the Loyal and Righteous Duke, she must take the opportunity to find a good marriage. So, even if her relationship with Wei Family weakens in future, having a good family-in-law will ensure she leads a good life.
When she thought of marriage, Wei Qingwan looked sad and her mind involuntarily pictured the image of the seventh prince, whom she had only met a couple of times.
She knew there was a vast difference between their statuses, but she couldn’t stop thinking about him…

The Wei Family began the moving process after a few days of preparation.
With so many belongings, the carriage team had to go back and forth numerous times before even half of the items were moved.
When half the items were moved, Wei Ruo set off with Madam Yun and the others.
They departed in the morning and arrived at the new Colonel Residence in the government city by dusk.
Looking at her new mansion, Madam Yun’s face lit up with joy.
Madam Yun still remembered the last time when she brought the two girls to the government city to attend Madam Yuan’s garden tour, they could only temporarily stay in Xie Residence’s guest house.
In just over two months, their residence has moved to the government city.
The new residence was much larger than the one in Xingshan County, not only were there more courtyards, each courtyard was also much bigger..
