The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Big Sister, Can You Forgive Me? _1

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yilin again.

Feeling Wei Ruo’s gaze, Wei Yilin averted his eyes, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“I didn’t know you cared about me so much now.” Wei Ruo, with a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, said it in a teasing tone.

“What are you saying? When did I ever not care about you?”

“When? Do you need me to remind you?”

“Could you not hold grudges about such old things!” Wei Yilin knew that Wei Ruo was bringing up his past hostility towards her again.

“Unable to help it. Who told me to have such a good memory?”

“Really! Remember the good times!” Wei Yilin exclaimed huffily, “You’re going so far away, try not to bring along your grudges. Bring something good instead.”

“Your words make sense.” Wei Ruo agreed.

Then, Wei Ruo raised her head to look at Wei Yichen who had been silent at one side.

Since he had come along, he must have something to tell her.

Their eyes met, but Wei Ruo could not read anything from his deep gaze.

Wei Yichen said, “Take care.”

No long admonition, no excessively caring words, just two plain words.

“Hmm.” Wei Ruo responded.

Then, both of them lapsed into silence, with the hall quiet around them.

At that moment, Zhang Yi approached. “Queen Mother, the Prince would like to chat with Mr. Wei in private. Is it convenient?”

Wei Ruo narrowed her eyes.

Big Brother wants to reveal his identity to Wei Yichen now.

While unsure why Brother chose this moment to reveal himself.

Wei Ruo said, “I have nothing to do here, please follow him to speak with the Prince.”

Zhang Yi walked up to Wei Yichen, “Please follow me, Young Sir.”

Without asking any questions, Wei Yichen followed Zhang Yi out.

After Wei Yichen left, Wei Yilin pondered for a moment and took out a large cloth bag that he had brought with him and reached out to give it to Wei Ruo.

“For you.”

“What is it?” Wei Ruo didn’t take it, instead, she puzzledly looked at the big cloth bag.

It seems heavy, as if many items are inside.

“Take it when I give it to you!” Wei Yilin said impatiently.

Wei Ruo took it and opened it to take a look. She was taken aback.

Inside there were silver coins, copper coins, silver notes, and a gem-encrusted dagger, just like the one she had given him before.

There were both whole and broken pieces of silver.

“Did you take all your assets out?” Wei Ruo asked.

“These are the savings that I accumulated over the years. They’re useless to me in the Capital. You are going to that cold place called Jiliao, where money is needed, so I’ll give them to you.” Wei Yilin put on an air of being a grown-up.

“I accept your kind thoughts, but you don’t need to give me money. There is no shortage of money in the Wang Residence.” Wei Ruo put the cash bag back into Wei Yilin’s arms.

Weilin tossed the bag back to Ruo, “You not lacking money is your thing; me wanting to give you money is mine. You are going so far away, I can’t help too much, I should at least do something else, right?”

Wei Ruo glanced at the bag in her hand and then at Wei Yilin and laughed.

“Why are you laughing!” Wei Yilin asked, looking peeved.

“Wei Yilin, in fact, I was really not fond of you before. You were an annoying little brat, with no skills, and quite bothersome. Your mind did not seem to work too well. Initially, I sent you to martial arts training just to give you something to do, so you would not stay with Wei Qingwan all day and be up to no good, and also not bother me when you were idle.”

Hearing these words, Wei Yilin was about to explode.

Wei Ruo continued, “But I did not expect to gain unexpected benefits. After hanging out with your master and your brothers, you have greatly changed, not only becoming physically stronger but also much more obedient. You’ve changed so much that I can’t help but look at you with admiration.”

“Hmph.” Wei Yilin hummed, “I admit that I was not likable before, but was it not simply a case of a child being clueless? Now that I have grown up and become more sensible, isn’t that very normal?”

Saying this, Wei Yilin looked up at Wei Ruo, “Can’t you forgive my childish misdeeds?”

There was a hint of grievance in his pouting face, and a desire for forgiveness in his eyes.

Wei Ruo stepped forward and ruffled Wei Yilin’s hair with her hand.

“Come on, I’ll take you to my backyard to choose something.” Wei Ruo told Wei Yilin, then turned and walked out the door.

“Hey, wait, you didn’t say if you’ve forgiven me! Hey…” Wei Yilin stomped his foot, then quickly followed Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo led Wei Yilin to Songzhu Garden.

“Is it okay to enter your private quarters now that I am grown-up?” Wei Yilin stood at the entrance of the courtyard and asked.

“It doesn’t matter. There aren’t as many rules at the King Rui Residence,” Wei Ruo replied.

“King Rui is quite easy-going.” Wei Yilin muttered after he followed Wei Ruo into the courtyard.

A lot of items were piled in the courtyard as they were packing up.

Some of them were weapons.

These iron items were forged from the steel smelted by the workshop next to the temple outside the city. In addition to the sword that was given to Wei Jinyi, more items were forged later on.

Spears, swords, halberds, axes, tridents, hooks, pitchforks — Wei Ruo had tried all the weapons she could possibly try.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Take anything you like from these,” Wei Ruo pointed at the pile of weapons.

Wei Yilin looked at these items and his eyes lit up.

He ran over to the pile of weapons excitedly, squatted down, and started touching each one.

After a long while, he picked up one, tried it out, and then swapped it for another one.

After fussing around for a while, Wei Yilin excitedly asked Wei Ruo, “Big Sister, where did you get so many good weapons from? I have never seen so many good weapons at my dad’s place! Even my masters and brothers don’t have these!”

“I know magic. I magicked them out.”

Wei Yilin’s mouth twitched twice, “Big Sister, could you not joke with me?”

“If you want a serious answer, I have a workshop that makes high-end weapons. The production capacity is low but the quality is high. The armor that my father wears was made in my workshop, as well as his most recent sword.”

“Really? Big Sister, you are amazing!”

“Stop flattering me and start choosing your weapons.”

“Really?”

“I’m not joking with you right now.”

After getting a confirmation from Wei Ruo, Wei Yilin squatted down again and started to choose his weapons.

Finally, he was left with three items, two knives, and a spear, all of which he liked very much.

He couldn’t decide which one to take from these three items.

“Stop choosing, just take all three. I never said you could only take one item. Didn’t I say you could take whatever you can carry?”

“Since you are giving me all three weapons, does it mean you have forgiven me?”
