Chapter 494: Chapter 494: I refuse to help_1

Mo and Yun Shis, standing by the side, were also taken aback when Wei Ruo surprisingly made a direct move.

They were dumbfounded to see Bai Shi drenched in water.

Wei Ruo casually placed the tea cup back onto the table, then held up her sleeve to continue steeping the tea.

“If Second Aunt continues to speak nonsense, what comes next to her face will not just be cooled down tea.”

“I… I am doing this for your own good, how can you… not appreciate kindness!” Bai Shi was livid.

“You are asking me for a favor and also claiming to be thinking for my good? I already knew that Second Aunt was shameless, but I did not know that it was to this extent.” Wei Ruo calmly responded.

Today, she was no longer the Miss from the Wei Family that not yet marrying out, and this was not the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence anymore.

She was now free to speak out about those things that she used to be restrained due to respect for elders and hierarchy.

Bai Shi’s face turned red and white after listening to what Wei Ruo had to say.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Yun Shi quickly interjected, “Queen, don’t take it to heart. Your Second Aunt is just tactless with her words.”

This statement made Bai Shi feel even more upset, “Third Sister, how could you…”

Mo Shi held onto Bai Shi, whispering, “Second Sister, be careful. With your status, receiving criticism from the Queen is an honor. Besides, we are here today to ask Queen for a favor.”

Bai Shi was feeling very uncomfortable. However, Mo Shi’s words brought her back to senses.

She swallowed her raging anger, bowing her head and biting her lips, while cursing Wei Ruo silently.

This ungrateful wretch! When this girl suffers in the future, she will definitely have a good show to watch!

Yun Shi continued to persuade Wei Ruo: “Your Royal Highness, the King Rui Residence doesn’t necessarily owe the Qi Family a favor, but if the divine doctor of the King’s residence really can help, it would be good for the King’s residence. It could also help solve a troublesome matter for the Emperor.”

“But, I don’t want to do so.”

Wei Ruo’s reply was straightforward. She didn’t give any other reason, except that she didn’t want to.

Yun Shi continued, “Your Royal Highness, think of it as helping your family.”

“I don’t want to help.” Wei Ruo declared.

“Your family is your maiden home. If your family gains influence, it will benefit you as well.” Yun Shi explained.

“What does that have to do with me?” Wei Ruo retorted.

Yun Shi was surprised that her daughter was so cold that there seemed to be no place for them in her heart.

“Your Royal Highness should consider her future carefully.” Yun Shi tried to persuade her again.

She really wanted to tell her daughter that she was on the same side as Bai Shi because she was genuinely thinking about her daughter’s best interests.

In the past, she strongly opposed Wei Mingyong and Bai Shi’s idea of courting the Qi Family. If it were the past, she would have definitely disagreed with their actions.

But now, she was repeating these words to her daughter just because she had become the Queen of King Rui!

“Don’t you all think that I will be miserable in the future? Then why shouldn’t I enjoy the present moment and be happy for the time being?” Wei Ruo countered.

Yun Shi was speechless, unable to find words to respond to Wei Ruo’s questions.

Yun Shi, Bai Shi, and Mo Shi all quieted down.

Wei Ruo said, “It seems that none of you are in the mood to continue drinking my tea. If that is the case, you may all leave.”

“Someone, send the guests out.”

Wei Ruo then called for her maids to escort the three of them out.

Bai Shi’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. It seemed that she wanted to say something more to Wei Ruo, but the servants of the King’s residence didn’t give her the opportunity.

Accompanied by the maids from the King’s residence, she, along with Mo Shi and Yun Shi, were escorted out. freeweɓnovel.cøm

After the three of them left, Wei Ruo leisurely took a sip of her tea.

Xiumei, who was standing behind Wei Ruo, asked, “Miss, that thieving Qi is still not giving up, blatantly getting the Wei Family to act as mediators.”

“Even if he manages to get the Emperor himself to mediate, it will be in vain. I don’t want to heal Qi Zhen, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. More than a month has passed, only an immortal could possibly reattach his leg.”

“Right, there was a chance if they had asked Miss to help back then.” Xiumei nodded in agreement.

Wei Ruo put down her tea cup and sighed lightly, “Now, Xu Heyou is annoying more and more people. It looks like I have to find a way to make him disappear.”

“Huh?” Xiumei’s eyes widened in surprise. What did Miss just say? Make Xu Heyou disappear?

Wei Ruo explained, “Given my current status, I no longer have to worry about people finding out that I’m doing business. All these properties could be transferred under my name, and my male identity was just for convenience. If Xu Heyou’s face is lost, I can always change to another.”

“Oh, I see! Xu Heyou isn’t real, and he could conveniently die!” Xiumei finally understood Wei Ruo’s intention, “But Miss, how will you make ‘him’ disappear?”

“When I leave the house and come back, I can simply say that I was killed by thieves on the way. Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking of visiting Hejian Prefecture for a while, it’s a good chance to lay low.”

Xiumei asked, “Miss, are you planning on going out yourself?”

Wei Ruo replied, “I want to, but I still need to check with Second Brother.”

Xiumei: “I’m sure the Prince will agree to Miss’s request.”

Wei Ruo asked, “How do you know that?”

Xiumei answered, “Because the Prince always does whatever Miss asks him to do. He will always help Miss in achieving whatever she wants!”

Wei Ruo jestingly criticised her, “Oh, so quickly you’ve been bought over by him? How come you were still outraged earlier and now want to avenge me and beat him?”

Xiumei hurriedly denied, “No, no! I didn’t flip sides! My loyalty has always been with you, Miss! I only sided with him because I saw him being nice to you, Miss. If he is ever not nice to you, I will surely secretly scold him!”

Wei Ruo laughed: “Why do you dare only to scold him secretly? Why don’t you do it openly?”

Xiumei pouted, “Because I can’t beat the Prince. Only Miss can dare to scold the Prince openly, I can’t.”

Then Xiumei continued, “Miss, if the Prince agrees to let you go, you have to bring two more guards with you. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”

Wei Ruo asked, “Why? Don’t you have faith in yourself?”

Xiumei responded, “Not really, it’s just been too chaotic outside recently. Didn’t we run into bandits on our way to the Capital City? Hence, you must bring along a few more people when you go out this time.”

Wei Ruo joked, “Ok, Ok, I get it. Every time it comes to this, you change into a managing old woman.”

Xiumei replied, “Of course! Miss, your safety comes first!”

Wei Ruo smiled and said, “All right, I’ll go to the front yard to find my second brother and give him the sword meanwhile.”

After finishing her words, Wei Ruo stood up and headed to the front yard to find Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi wasn’t in his study this time, but in his bedroom.

Per Wei Jinyi’s command, nobody would prevent Wei Ruo from going anywhere in the Vander residence.

When Wei Ruo entered the bedroom, Wei Jinyi was changing his clothes. Through the screen, Wei Ruo once again caught a glimpse of his silhouette.
