Chapter 71 - Sister-Sister-Sisterhood

Because County Owner wanted to eat here, he got busy. She ran to the kitchen outside and was immediately worried. There was almost nothing there.

A few years ago, when the Old Mistress had handed over the matter of rewards to the Aunt Lan, the days of the winter plum garden had plummeted. However, since she was the current owner of the Aunt Lan, she had once went through the family accounts and called the Aunt Mei over. She said that it was against Hou Mansion's rules for the madame to give her a month's worth of money by the standard of an aunt. In short, she said a lot of things, and only gave Aunt Mei a monthly allowance according to the standard of low-class servants, so the servants by her side left.

Although Wei Yan's status as a Hou Mansion did not change and her monthly expenses did not decrease, her late release had delayed him quite a bit.

Wei Yan's health was not good, and the Aunt Mei was afraid that he would be worried about this everyday, so she kept it a secret for so many years. Aunt Mei was the son of the Hou Mansion, and her father was a servant of the Hou Mansion, the one who opened the door for Wei Ruo Yi. Wei Yan still had two servants waiting on him, but last year, the two of them realised that they had no future with the Eldest Young Master, and knew that the Aunt Mei had a soft personality. After begging her for a while, they found a place to stay, climbed onto Wei Rong's branch, and followed Wei Rong. Wei Yan knew that she would have to argue with Aunt Lan later on, but she was stopped by Aunt Mei. She only said that without those messed up people, she would be able to live a good life, so he gave up.

Now that Wei Ruo Yi had arrived, she was already numb to it. Luckily she had secretly raised two chickens in the backyard, and was originally meant to lay some eggs, but now she had to quickly catch and kill them.

Wei Ruo Yi was a clear-cut person, looking at his surroundings, he knew that his Eldest Brother wasn't living a good life. Today, she shamelessly wanted to stay and eat. She wanted to see what kind of situation the situation would turn out to be.

"The two of you, go help Aunt Mei." Wei Ruo Yi said to Lv Rui and Lv E.

"Yes." Lv Rui and Lv E withdrew after bowing.

Wei Ruo Yi strolled around Wei Yan's house. So many books! The two rows of cabinets against the wall were already filled, Wei Ruo Yi casually took out a book and flipped through it, only to discover that Wei Yan was a person who was reading very seriously, the book's title pages and footers were all more or less filled with words written in brush, most of them were her own thoughts and feelings, the handwriting was delicate and pretty, just like his person.

"Eldest Brother sure reads a lot." Wei Ruo Yi said with envy.

When he mentioned this, starlight shone out of Wei Yan's eyes, and he smiled a little.

After being ill for so many years, this was all he could do. The book was his pride.

"Eldest Brother, you look good when you smile." Wei Ruo Yi looked up and coincidentally saw Wei Yan's smile, and also smiled.

Wei Yan's smile froze, and she immediately lowered her eyes.

He really wanted to raise his hand and touch his own face. Was it pretty? He hadn't smiled in front of anyone in a long, long time. He had seen himself in the mirror, skinny and spiritless, so weak that even he despised himself. Wei Ruo Yi said that he looked very good ?

He really knew how to comfort people.

Wei Yan laughed at herself in her heart.

"County Owner came here today just to see me?" Wei Ruo Yi did not tell anyone that he was here, but in Wei Yan's opinion, this matter was not very reliable at all.

"Tomorrow, I will go with Eldest Brother to the State Protecting Temple. Now, it just so happens that I have nothing better to do." Wei Ruo Yi was all smiles, she once again placed the book back into its original position, then walked to the side of the table, where she saw a basket Luo, on the table were some needle and thread, and a half finished ball of silk.

"That's beautiful!" Wei Ruo Yi picked up the ball. It was a very small ball, made of multicolored silk, and covered with a briquette, hanging down carefully to the ground. The ball was stuffed with a fragrant bag.

"Mother had nothing to do." Wei Yan said.

"Aunt Mei's hands are so clever." Wei Ruo Yi said enviously, "Right, Aunt Mei knows how to make embroidered balls, do you know how to make rubber balls?"

"I don't know about that, you can ask later." Wei Yan was startled at first, but then she shook her head.

"Yes." "Of course." Wei Ruo Yi just stayed in the house for a while and already felt depressed. In this kind of environment, even good people would have trouble staying, let alone someone with a body like Eldest Brother. Although the inside of the house had no other odors other than medicine, it was not ventilated and burned with charcoal. Luckily there was a pipe that went out of the house, if not Wei Ruo Yi felt that he would be poisoned inside the room.

She looked around, found a thick cloak and gave it to Wei Yan, "Put it on first."

"What's wrong?" Wei Yan did not understand, but she still raised his hand to receive it.

"Let you see the sun." Wei Ruo Yi laughed.

"No need." Wei Yan frowned, she panicked at the bottom of her heart and could not help but cough. If County Owner is not used to staying here, you can leave. " He said this with a cold expression.

If it was the Wei Ruo Yi of the past, he would have already left without a trace. However, the current Wei Ruo Yi was just a piece of dog skin paste medicine. Since she wanted to rope in the Eldest Brother and stand by her side, she would not rest until she had achieved her goal.

"Eldest Brother, don't chase me away." She walked to Wei Yan's side and pulled his wide sleeves, gently shaking him.

His expression was cold, but her smile was like the spring wind. It was as if she was not bothered by his coldness or estrangement.

Wei Yan watched Wei Ruo Yi's actions with incomparable shock. He could not remember when she was so close to Wei Ruo Yi.

His eyes were a little dazed.

When Wei Ruo Yi was very young, their relationship was not bad. At that time, Wei Ruo Yi was extremely adorable. She was beautiful since a young age, and always had a cute bun in her hair. She liked it when her brother was short and called him Big Brother Chang. Unfortunately, these days didn't last long.

After his mother's incident, Wei Ruo Yi had gradually distanced himself from him.

In the beginning, he would still take the initiative to look for Wei Ruo Yi to play, but when Wei Ruo Yi saw him, his eyes filled with disgust.

She no longer surrounded him with her brother's short front and back, telling stories and playing hide-and-seek, but beating him with her tender little hands.

He caught her and asked her why she didn't like her brother, but she said something that made his heart turn cold. Aunt Mei was a bad person, and the children she gave birth to were also bad people!

He was so angry at that time, fiercely rebutting her. Perhaps his attitude was really too hasty, and it frightened her, causing her to start crying loudly. Coincidentally, when her father saw her walking past, he pushed her away and picked her up from his arms. He scolded her loudly, telling her not to get too close to Wei Ruo Yi in the future.

Since then, they had barely met.

But today, she unexpectedly took the initiative to come over.
