Wei Qingwan shook her head: âForget it, after all, Iâm not good at doing these things. Today, I just happened to find out that Wei Qingruo has some problems, so I wanted to discuss it with you, mama. I didnât think it would be of any use.â
Nurse Li sighed: âMiss, relax. Although we canât fight against Wei Qingruo for the time being, but Wei Qingruo is so arrogant and domineering, she will kill herself if she does many injustices. There will always be times when she suffers.â
Wei Qingwan lowered her brows, feeling a little helpless, and then comforted Madam Li: âMama Li, you have worked hard, todayâs matter troubled you to run this far, and you were scolded by your mother.â
âIt doesnât matter to the old slave. The old slave just did what he should do. It is a fact that Wei Qingruo hides the charcoal fire and only cares about his own life, regardless of the life and death of his family. The old slave is not afraid of the shadow, itâs just Wei Qingruoâs coincidence She was fooled by her tongue-in-cheek. If something happened, she would push Mrs. Yuan out as a shield, making it seem like she knew a Mrs. Yuan would be a big deal!â Nanny Li said indignantly.
âThatâs because she has the ability to make a noble person like Mrs. Yuan happy with a few words, but I donât have this ability. After all, I am useless. Letâs not talk about these, mama, go get busy.â Wei Qingwan said.
Then Wei Qingwan waved her hand, and turned away Nanny Li.

Coincidentally, Wei Ruo just used Mrs. Yuan as an excuse to send Yun away, and Mrs. Yuan sent her personal maid Qingyi to invite her to the prefectâs mansion, saying that she had something to talk to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo didnât ask any further questions, and immediately changed his clothes and took Xiumei into the carriage.
After two days, the snow on the avenue in Fucheng has been dug up, and now the carriage can walk.
The shops and houses on both sides of the road have a New Yearâs atmosphere, and red festive things are hung.
But compared with previous years, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is obviously much weaker.
Itâs already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the New Yearâs Eve. If it used to be, every family is now making plans for the New Year.
But this year, many families lost their minds, especially the Yuan family.
Although Wei Ruo is not very clear about the situation of the magistrateâs mansion, he can guess a thing or two.
In such a situation in the Taizhou government, Yuan Zhengqin, the magistrate, must be the most worried and busy, unless he is a stupid official who doesnât care about the life and death of the people.
Entering the magistrateâs mansion, Wei Ruo, led by Qing Yi, came to the residence of Mrs. Yuan, the main courtyard in the backyard.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Mrs. Yuan greeted her warmly.
âRuoâer, Iâm really sorry that I called you here at the age of twenty-nine.â Madam Yuan said to Wei Ruo with an apologetic face.
âItâs nothing, Madam, if you need me, just ask.â Wei Ruo also knew that Madam Yuan would definitely not call herself to the house at this time if there was nothing wrong.
Madam Yuan sighed: âI really have something to ask for. Recently, many things have happened in Taizhou Mansion. My husband is also too busy to be distracted, so I thought of you.â
âIt has snowed heavily recently, and there are indeed a lot of affairs in Taizhou Mansion.â Wei Ruo said.
âItâs not just about the heavy snow.â Madam Yuan couldnât help but sighed again: âThis yearâs Taizhou Prefecture is really troubled. One wave of unrest and another wave of trouble.â
âMadam is talking about the Japanese pirates? Has there been any change in the Japanese pirates recently?â Wei Ruo asked.
Mrs. Yuan shook her head: âThe Japanese pirates have been quiet these days. I donât know if they are really quiet or waiting for an opportunity. The anti-Japanese army does not dare to relax at all. I am talking about things in the city. You and I Sincerely, I will not hide it from you. About half a month ago, a major event happened. The Seventh Prince, who was supposed to serve as the warlord of the Anti-Japanese Army in Taizhou Prefecture, was attacked not long after entering Taizhou Prefecture. His followers were dead. Immediately injured, the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince himself is unknown.â
âThe whereabouts of the Seventh Prince are unknown?â Wei Ruo was surprised.
how so? It doesnât make sense!
The heavy snow in Taizhou Prefecture is not described in the original book because the Wei family is no longer in Taizhou Prefecture in the original book, and it has nothing to do with the plot of the original book.
But the Seventh Prince is the leading actor, and the major events related to him are described in the original works.
In the original book, there is no plot where the hero is attacked and his whereabouts are unknown.
Wei Ruo tried his best to recall the events of this time period in the original book. This time was the warming period of Wei Qingwan and Chu Lanâs relationship.
Wei Qingwan, who was taken to the princeâs mansion by Chu Lan, was plotted by the women in the mansion during this period, something happened and almost died.
Chu Lan put down her affairs and cared for her until she recovered.
During the period, Wei Qingwan was weak and helpless, Chu Lan was distressed, and the love between the two became stronger.
Wei Ruo remembered that when this passage was mentioned in the original book, he specifically mentioned that at this time Chu Lan had a good opportunity to make meritorious service, and he was asked to be the warlord of the Anti-Japanese Army, but because Wei Qingwan was at a critical moment Worried about Wei Qingwanâs safety, he gave up this opportunity and gave it to the sixth prince.
The original problem lies here.
Wei Ruo also didnât expect that the love brain can have this benefit, and can help avoid risks.
What I also didnât expect was that because there was no encounter between the male and female protagonists, and because of the absence of Wei Mingtingâs death, it caused a butterfly effect, directly making the original male protagonistâs whereabouts unknown.
If Chu Lan just dies like this, does it mean that she avenged herself in the previous life in disguise?
Mrs. Yuan said: âI was also quite shocked by this incident. It was mostly related to the struggle for imperial power, but it just happened to be in Taizhou Prefecture, and it happened to be on the way to be the warlord of the Anti-Japanese Army, and it was about to join the Anti-Japanese Army. Therefore, both the Taizhou government office and the anti-Japanese army have been implicated.â
After listening to Mrs. Yuanâs explanation, Wei Ruo realized that Wei Mingting has been so busy recently not only because of the Japanese pirates, but also because of such a thing in the middle.
Mrs. Yuan said: âForget it, letâs not talk about the matter of the Seventh Prince. Those court struggles are not something we can get our hands on. Itâs useless to think about him. If the Seventh Prince has a good life and can live, thatâs the best. If we canât survive, there is nothing we can do.â
Madam Yuan sighed heavily again as she spoke: âI came here to tell you what we can do as humanly as possible. The heavy snow these few days and the freezing weather have caused great crimes for everyone in the Taizhou government.â
âIâve also heard that many houses were crushed by the snow, and many bamboo forests fell, and many people were displaced.â
Itâs just that Wei Ruo doesnât know what she can do.
The number of people she can protect is limited. The people in her village are in good condition. The houses are newly built and have not collapsed, and the food on the village is enough.
Her current financial resources and abilities can only do so much.
âYes, what youâve heard is the truth. Many people died in Taizhou Mansion, but a small number were crushed to death, most of them died of freezing and illness.â Mrs. Yuan told Wei Ruo about the situation in the past few days.
âI wonder if there is anything I can do to help?â Wei Ruo asked.
