“Ruo Ruo is… preparing for her lessons in her room.

in reality, Wei Ruo was probably busy tending to the fruits and vegetables in her garden, but Yun was too embarrassed to tell others that her daughter was gardening. So, she falsely claimed that Ruo Ruo was preparing for her lessons.

“Mother, I’m going to see what she’s preparing.” Xie Ying said.

Madam Xie turned to Yun and asked, “Madam Wei, may I…?”

Yun gave an awkward smile. But since Madam Xie had asked, she could hardly refuse and could only agree, “Then I will have my Maid Cuiping lead Miss Xie

there.”

“Let’s go now.” Xie Ying left without paying any attention to Wei Qingwan, who was smiling and watching her.

Yun was right. At this moment, Wei Ruo was picking the tender tips of the zucchini vines in her courtyard.

Her zucchini vines were growing very well. They climbed up half of the courtyard wall and had borne several fruits. It was the perfect time to pick these two things.

Wei Ruo loved to eat tender zucchinis and zucchini tips. These two could be stir-fried together, offering a crisp and refreshing taste.

When Xie Ying entered, she saw Wei Ruo standing on a ladder with a bamboo basket in her hand, intently picking something.

Xie Ying walked over without saying a word and just watched.

Hearing the footsteps, Wei Ruo knew someone had entered. She didn’t bother

about it at first, but when the other party remained silent for quite a while, she finally turned her head to look over.

“Miss Xie?”

Wei Ruo was not too surprised at Xie Ying’s arrival. She had heard about Madam Xie’s plan to visit the Wei Family. However, she was curious why Xie Ying was watching her so intently.

“What are you doing?” Xie Ying asked.

“Picking zucchini tips and baby zucchinis.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Oh, I know about that. I’ve eaten it. It has no taste.” Xie Ying said.

“Well, that probably means the chef who made it wasn’t very good. I’ll let you

try Meimei’s cooking next time.” Wei Ruo said.

Xie Ying did not counter, but her look told Wei Ruo that she didn’t quite believe what Wei Ruo said. How good could zucchini tips taste?

Xie Ying glanced around and asked, “Is there anywhere here where 1 can hide and nap for a while? I’ve been dragged around by my mother since early morning, and I haven’t fully woken up yet.”

Xie Ying didn’t care why Wei Ruo planted vegetables in her courtyard or why she was not preparing for her lessons. All she wanted was to find a place to daydream and sleep.

Wei Ruo pointed at her wicker chair in the courtyard and said, “You can move it under my gourd trellis, where the sun can’t reach.

The sun would become quite hot later in the day and if one wanted to nap, a cooler spot was much better.

Xie Ying nodded, then picked up Wei Ruo’s chair and moved it over.

The wicker chair was comfortable, and the gourd vine was lushly grown, making the area beneath the trellis shady and quiet, just the ideal space Xie Ying wanted for daydreaming and napping.

Swinging on the chair for a while, Xie Ying turned to Wei Ruo and asked, “Can you give me some seeds of this plant, I want to plant one at home. Also, where did you buy this wicker chair? I want one too.”

Had she fallen for Wei Ruo’s setup?

“I can give you the seeds, but it might be too late to plant them now. For the wicker chair, you should be able to find it outside. Have your servants inquire around for you.” Wei Ruo replied.

“What kind of vine can I plant this season that will grow like yours? It has to be the type that survives without much care. I don’t know how to take care of plants; everything I plant dies.” Xie Ying asked again.

“There might not be an ideal one… Most vines grown in courtyards need some care like watering, fertilization, and pest prevention.”

“That’s troublesome.” After murmuring to herself, Xie Ying stopped talking and closed her eyes for a nap.

So, she didn’t come to see Wei Ruo because she liked her. She simply found this place convenient for napping!

Wei Ruo prided herself on being a person who liked to avoid social situations and enjoy peace, but compared with Xie Ying, she was clearly surpassed.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying mutually left each other alone for half an hour, until Yun and Madam Xie came looking for them, followed by Wei Qingwan.

With Madam Xie’s visit today, Wei Qingwan was there throughout. Her gentle and well-behaved demeanor earned her multiple praises from Madam Xie, and plenty of wishes that her own daughter could be as obedient and understanding as Wei Qingwan.

This made Yun extremely proud. Her daughter was indeed very sensible. She guessed that it was because of this that Madam Xie readily agreed when she proposed that her daughter should study with the young miss from the Xie family.

Madam Xie, who just entered Tingsong Garden, saw her daughter Xie Ying sleeping in the shade and didn’t find it surprising at all.

Her daughter had always been like this: dragged out to play, and she could run wild all day long. But when asked to act like a young lady at home, she’d be as lazy as possible.

If any other family had a child with this temperament, she would definitely be scolded.

But her precious daughter was spoiled by everyone in the family, which resulted in this personality. No one could control her, and no one could do a good job ofeducating her.

Madam Xie gave an apologetic smile, then turned to Wei Ruo and asked, “Miss Wei, did Xiao Ying disturb you?”

“No, she didn’t. We got along very well.” Actually, Wei Ruo quite liked Xie Ying s personality. It was stress-free and unburdening for her.

“Glad to hear that. Then, you two can also get along well when you study together in the future.” Madam Xie said with a smile.

At her words, both Yun and Wei Qingwan were stunned.

Yun questioned, “Madam Xie, did you just say that Ruo Ruo will be studying with Miss Xie in the future?”

Madam Xie looked a bit confused and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“No… I’m just surprised. I didn’t expect Madam Xie to agree to have Ruo Ruo join the lessons at the Xie Family’s home.” Yun cautiously replied.

“Join?” Madam Xie looked increasingly puzzled. “Madam Wei, hold on a moment. I’m finding it harder and harder to understand what you’re saying. Yun was also baffled, “Madam Xie, wasn’t your previous remark implied that Ruo Ruo should also go to the Xie Family for lessons?

Madam Xie looked at Madam Wei and said with a warm smile, “Madam Wei, did we not agree in the beginning that Miss Wei would come to our home to study with my daughter?”

“Madam Xie, do you mean… when you said Ruo Ruo, you weren’t referring to Wanwan?” Yun looked shocked..
