The Lucky Heiress

“Sister, the way you talk, people might think that I have been coveting Wei Family’s sister’s stuff all the time.” Xie Jue said helplessly.

“You didn’t? You have taken quite a few things from Ruoruo, that mosquito repellent balm, and that mushroom sauce, and…”

Xie Jue interrupted her hurriedly, “Sister, not long ago grandfather gave me a

Treasury Sword, I’ll give it to you later.

“Really?” Xie Ying’s eyes lit up.

“Little girl, when did your brother ever lie to you?”

“Good brother, you are the bravest in my heart!” Xie Ying promptly changed

her tune.

At the moment, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi were helping to repair the roof. Because most young men in the village had gone to dig out houses buried during a landslide.

Previously, only a path had been dug out for moving in and out of the village, and many places were still buried.

These past few days, the government office had still been sending people to help, but to regain normalcy as soon as possible, the men of the village, regardless of whether their houses were buried or not, had gone to help with the digging first.

So, some damaged houses had been left aside, and the elderly, women, and children at home had to make do.

Wei Ruo was standing below, helping pass things to Wei Jinyi who was on the roof.

Looking up at Wei Jinyi who was busy on the roof, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but praise, “Brother, you’re really agile, walking so steadily on the roof.”

We Jinyi did not respond to Wei Ruo’s praise, instead he cautioned Wei Ruo, “Be careful down there, some broken shards might drop at any time.

Wei Jinyi was somewhat uneasy seeing Wei Ruo standing underneath.

“Mm, I will be careful. Brother, don’t worry, I cherish my life.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Mm.”

Whenever she looked at him, she would always show such a sweet and sincere smile.

“Brother, how long will you be staying in Xingshan County this time?” Wei Ruo asked at this moment when nothing was going on.

“It depends, there’s no rush.” Wei Jinyi answered.

“Old… Does that Tibetan layman not have any objections?

“That’s his idea.”

“Hmm, that’s good.” That old man is thoughtful!

After Wei Jinyi had repaired the roof, an old farmer brought two cups of water for them, “Young Master Wei, Miss Wei, I’m sorry I don’t have good tea or wine, please accept some water.”

“It’s okay, Uncle, having a bowl of water is enough.”

Wei Ruo took the bowl and passed it to Wei Jinyi first, then she took her own.

Wei Jinyi saw that a strand of hair had fallen into Wei Ruo’s bowl when she was drinking, so he reached out and helped her tuck the hair behind her ears.

His long fingertips brushed against her ear, and Wei Ruo looked up, her eyes meeting Wei Jinyi’s.

At that moment, Wei Jinyi’s hand was still behind Wei Ruo’s ear.

He was very focused, his gaze warm.

His warmth made Wei Ruo a bit dazed, perhaps because no one had ever treated her like this before, or perhaps his eyes were so deep, like whirlpools.

The two were gazing at each other when Xie Ying suddenly came over and patted Wei Ruo’s shoulder.

Wei Ruo was startled and quickly turned around.

Wei Jinyi retracted his hand, looking thoughtfully at his own palm.

In fact, he wasn’t quite sure what had come over him in that moment. He just instinctively helped her with her hair and suddenly lost himself as he looked at her close-up face.

“RUO Ruo, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing that Wei Ruo was startled, Xie Ying quickly asked with concern.

“I’m okay, just lost in thought.” Wei Ruo quickly answered, and then asked Xie Ying, “Did you want something?”

“Not really a big deal, just a question I wanted to ask you.”

“What question?”

Xie Ying leaned into Wei Ruo’s ear, “Ruo Ruo, what have you been feeding your family? Your brother and Meimei are in great health.”

“Well… my brother’s health has nothing to do with me, it’s the result of his diligent practice. As for Meimei, exercise is the most important thing. She also bathes with medicinal herbs, and there are some daily supplements and body conditioning.” Wei Ruo answered.

“Ruo Ruo, you see my brother… my grandfather wants him to be both a scholar and a martial artist. But look at him, he’s been studying martial arts skills for a long time, but he’s still mediocre. If you could, would you help him?” Though Xie Ying felt embarrassed asking for help, she disregarded it for her brother.

-No problem at all.” Wei Ruo agreed very readily.

“Really?” Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.

“Are you kidding? Aren’t we good friends? This is a small matter. Later, I will write down the recipe for the medicinal bath for you. As for the dietary supplement, it varies from person to person. Later, I will take a look at Young Master Xie and then decide what to supplement.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Ruo Ruo, you’re so nice!” Xie Ying’s face was full of joy and gratitude, “Ruo Ruo, my brother is about to get the Treasury Sword from my grandfather. When he gets it, I’ll give it to you!”

“You don’t need to, I don’t know martial arts, so it’s no use to me. You like swords and sabres, so you can keep it for yourself.” said Wei Ruo.

“No. I have to give you something in return since you gave me something good. I could never live with that guilt, I am Xie Ying, I never take advantage of others.”

“Then next time, give me a picture of a battle horse that you painted.” Wei Ruo replied.

“My picture of a battle horse is nowhere near as good as Mr. Wang’s. What do you need it for?”

“Exchange your handwriting for mine, it’s an equivalent exchange. The important thing is not the value, but the sentiment. Your picture, painted stroke by stroke, must be very precious.” Wei Ruo replied.

“All right, we’ll do as you say!” Xie Ying happily agreed.

Later, Wei Ruo found a room and wrote down the recipe for the medicinal bath for Xie Jue.

Xie Ying, holding the recipe that Wei Ruo wrote, happily called out to Xie Jue who was working as a porter outside, “Brother, come here quickly, Ruo Ruo has written a recipe for a medicinal bath for strengthening your body!”

Xie jue was drawn by her voice, believing in the effectiveness of Wei Ruo’s new medication since the previous recipe Wei Ruo gave to their mother was very effective.

Xie jue did not make polite talk, and thanked Wei Ruo very sincerely, “Thank you, Miss Wei!”

■■No need to be polite, this is exchanged for Yingying’s precious ink. I’m not being taken advantage of.” Wei Ruo responded.

“Ink? Sister, do you have any precious ink?” Xie Jue looked at Xie Ying in surprise.

“Of course, my drawings are quite good! Don’t underestimate me!” Xie Ying retorted confidently.

As the siblings bickered, Wei Ruo turned to Wei Jinyi and said, “Brother, do you want some? If you do, I’ll prepare it for you directly.”

Wei Ruo thought to herself, although her brother was strong, it wouldn’t hurt to bathe in the medicinal bath more frequently, especially since he was a martial arts practitioner and couldn’t avoid physical strain from daily practice.

“Hmm.” Wei Jinyi nodded.

Seeing Wei Ruo caring and looking out for him, Wei Jinyi felt a warmth spreading in his heart..
