Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Why Didn’t You Stay with Wanwanl
Translator: 549690339
The abbot revealed that a VIP was staying in the Zen room and Qian Zhilan and Wei Qingwan had run into his attendant.
Although the man’s identity was not directly stated, the abbot had mentioned the character ‘Chu’.
‘Chu’ was the surname of the current imperial family. With the conversation going this far, could anyone still not understand?
Upon learning that her daughter had offended a highly placed relative of the emperor, Madame Qian and Madame Yun were both very nervous.
Especially Madame Yun, whose husband was already facing the risk of being dismissed for ineffective fighting against pirates. If, during this critical moment, they would to offend a VIP, his official country hat would not be saved!
After some consideration, Madame Qian sternly reprimanded her daughter in front of everyone, blaming her for being reckless.
Qian Zhilan, usually spoiled at home, and who usually got whatever she wanted in front of others, felt both angry and aggrieved at being scolded by Madame Qian. In such a situation, she could only retract her neck and obediently take the rebuke.
Now that Madame Qian had spoken, Madame Yun could not stay silent and followed in scolding Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan felt extremely wronged. All she did was walk with Qian Zhilan, how did that offend a VIP?
Moreover, the person intending to visit the Zen room was Qian Zhilan, and the person who had a conflict with the VIP’s attendant was also Qian Zhilan. She clearly did nothing!
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying did not return to the dining hall until things had settled down.
After hearing about what had happened from others, Wei Ruo was surprised.
Unexpectedly, even without her, the secondary female character, playing a trick, Wei Qingwan still ended up going to the back-mountain Zen room.
However, the person accompanying her was different, the incidents were different, and the results were different.
In the original story, the person sent back by the male lead’s attendant and chastised by Madame Yun was her. Wei Qingwan, on the other hand, was sent back by the male lead’s servants without alarming anyone, and nobody knew about their meeting.
Did the master staying in the Zen room not have feelings after seeing Wei Qingwan’s beautiful and refreshing face?
Or was it that, without her being bullied and appearing helpless and weak, this would not arouse the protection desire of the main male lead?
These were all speculations that Wei Ruo had in a few short seconds, as for what the male lead in the Zen room was thinking, Wei Ruo did not know for now.
Wei Ruo felt neither joy nor sorrow about Wei Qingwan being reprimanded. As long as it had nothing to do with her, she was happy. She refused to take responsibility for things she did not do. As for how the male and female leads would develop their love story, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Wei Qingwan stood behind Madame Yun with her head down, when she heard Wei Ruo’s voice, she looked up for a moment, after seeing Wei Ruo’s clear, cheerful, and lively appearance, she felt even more suffocated and depressed.
Then she lowered her head again.
Because of this unexpected incident, no one was in the mood to pray anymore. They hurriedly ended today’s outing, everyone then descended the mountain, and returned to their respective homes.
On the way back, Madame Yun looked at her two daughters in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.
She had initially thought that the one who might be embarrassed today was Ruo, but it turned out to be the other way around.
Wei Qingwan seemed to sense Madame Yun’s disappointment in her, and tears that she had restrained for a long time fell from her eyes drop by drop.
Seeing this, Madame Yun quickly comforted her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. When you cry, my heart hurts like it’s being cut by a knife.”
“Mother, I really didn’t do anything or say anything…” Wei Qingwan defended herself with grievance.
“Mother knows, mother knows… It’s just that under such circumstances, I couldn’t blame everything on Miss Qian.”
“I was originally going with sister today, but sister didn’t want me to go with her. She ran away, I couldn’t catch up. I met Zhilan when I was looking for sister, Zhilan said she wanted to go sightseeing around, so I went with her…”
Upon hearing this, Madame Yun looked at Wei Ruo sitting in the corner of the carriage.
“Ruo, why didn’t you want to go with Qingwan?”
There was a hint of blame in her tone. After all, if Wei Ruo had gone with Wei Qingwan, there wouldn’t have been subsequent events. Wei Qingwan wouldn’t have suffered such an undeserved calamity.
Wei Ruo: “I am not familiar with these ladies, I can’t read or write, and I can’t participate in their games. I don’t want to show my incompetence and disgrace the Wei family. But Wanwan is familiar with them, I can’t be so selfish as to think only about myself and not let Wanwan play with them. As for why Wanwan encountered Miss Qian and why that incident happened, I had no idea.”
Wei Ruo sighed, “If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off not going today. Perhaps if I didn’t go, Wanwan’s playmate today wouldn’t have been Miss Qian, right? It could have been someone else. I wonder who among them Wanwan gets along with the best?”
Madame Yun was startled… if Wei Ruo did not go, the person who gets along best with Wanwan would still be Miss Qian.
In this way, putting the blame on Ruo for Wanwan’s going to the back-mountain with Miss Qian seemed inappropriate.
So, Madame Yun corrected herself: “Mother is not blaming you. Mother is just afraid that for some reason you are unwilling to go with your sister.”
“Yes, I know mother cares for us.” Wei Ruo agreed.
Wei Qingwan cried all the way, and it was only when they were almost home that she stopped crying.
Upon returning to Wangmei Garden and hearing that Wei Qingwan had been wronged, both Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin came to visit her.
Upon seeing Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin, Wei Qingwan’s newly retracted tears started falling again.
Upon hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Wei Yichen also thought Wei Qingwan was wronged.
The person who caused the incident was Miss Qian. Wei Qingwan didn’t speak a word, yet was implicated for no reason.
Wei Yilin irritably asked, “Why wasn’t that Wei… that older sister with you? If she was with you, wouldn’t this have not happened?”
Wei Qingwan just cried without saying a word.
Wei Yichen said, “Yilin, at this moment, Wanwan is innocent, but Ruo is also innocent. If she hadn’t gone today, would the incident still not have happened? How can the incident be blamed on her?”
“But older sister herself sought her out to play. How could she just abandon older sister?” Wei Yilin countered.
“Ruo might still not be used to it. Today was her first time accompanying mother out, you can’t demand so much of her.” Wei Yichen explained.
Wei Yilin lowered his head and remained silent.
Wei Yichen then spoke to Wei Qingwan, “Wanwan, don’t be sad. Mother knows you are innocent. The things she said about you in front of outsiders was only due to the presence of the Qian family. Don’t take this matter to heart.”
Wei Qingwan shook her head, “Big Brother, it’s not because I have been wronged that makes me sad. I am worried because this incident has annoyed those important people and may harm Father… My parents have treated me so well, if I caused them harm, I would never forgive myself.”
Wei Yichen’s heart ached, “Wanwan, don’t worry. Nothing will happen. If something does happen, it’s not your fault, but the trick of fate.”
“Yes, yes, Big Brother is right, sister, you must not blame yourself or feel sad over such things.” Wei Yilin concurred.
Wei Qingwan sobbed for a long time before she could restrain herself.
Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin stayed with Wei Qingwan for a while. When they saw that her mood had eased, they left..
