“Mother has already let you off lightly, you have no right to feel wronged.” Wei Yichen's cold voice interrupted Nurse Li's plea for mercy, then he ordered the outside guards in to drag away Nurse Li forcefully.

“Madam…madam…young master…” Nurse Li was dragged away, crying out continuously.

Even after Nurse Li was taken away, the atmosphere in the room remained tense. Wei Ruo said nothing, her gaze coolly fixed on Yun's family.

Wei Yichen said, “Mother, you've been busy all night and must be tired. Rest first. I'll take my sister back to Tingsong Garden.”

Yun waved her hand, signaling that the two could leave.

Wei Yichen went in front of Wei Ruo, took her hand, and said gently, “Go home with big brother.”

Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Yichen and offered no resistance.

Following Wei Yichen out of the Cangyun Garden gate, they walked together into the gate of Tingsong Garden.

Xiumei had stayed awake all night. Seeing Wei Ruo return, she was so touched that she was on the verge of tears.

“You're finally back, miss!” Xiumei lunged towards Wei Ruo and held her tightly.

“I'm fine,” Wei Ruo said.

Ruo patted Xiumei's cheeks. Seeing her swollen eyes, she knew that this maid had been crying secretly all night.

Wei Ruo turned to Wei Yichen who had walked her back and said, “Thank you for speaking up for me, big brother.”

“It's nothing. I genuinely believe you did nothing wrong. In such a

life-and-death situation, anyone would panic. You just accidentally pushed Wanwan in your haste, you didn't do it deliberately,” Wei Yichen said.

“So big brother also thinks I was the one who pushed Wei Qingwan?” Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

“I know it was accidental. I don't think you'd be so reckless.”

The hope in Wei Ruo's eyes faded. She smiled calmly, “Understood. Still, thank you, big brother.”

“Mm, you should go back to your room and rest now, get a good sleep.”

After giving Wei Ruo a few pieces of advice, Wei Yichen left Tingsong Garden.

After Wei Yichen left, instead of resting in her room as he had suggested, Wei Ruo went to the neighboring garden, Yingzhu, wanting to check on Wei Jinyi's condition.

She had applied acupuncture and given him medicine last night. It wasn't logical for his condition to worsen by morning.

When she arrived at Yingzhu Garden, she was met with guards at the gate and the scent of herbs emanating from the courtyard, where two maids were busily brewing medication.

Wei Ruo headed straight to Wei Jinyi's bedroom.

Upon seeing Wei Ruo enter, Xiaobei, who was standing by the bed, stood up with an excited look on her face, “Young mistress, you're back? Are you okay?”

Wei Ruo walked over to the bed, finding the person on it with his eyes tightly shut and reached out to take his pulse.

She placed her slender fingers on Wei Jinyi's wrist and quickly furrowed her brow.

What's going on? Why is his pulse so dangerous?

She had already administered acupuncture and medicine to him yesterday, by rights even if Wei Jinyi wasn't completely recovered, his pulse should at least have stabilized by now.

As Wei Ruo was wondering, Wei Jinyi opened his eyes.

At the same time, he pulled back his wrist, “I'm fine now.”

His voice was still somewhat weak, his face was pale, but his eyes were clear, clearly, he had recovered quite a bit.

“You were pretending?” Wei Ruo asked, surprised for a moment before realizing something.

Wei Jinyi met her gaze. He didn't answer, but Wei Ruo knew the answer.

“Thank you.” Wei Ruo said.

“No need.” Wei Jinyi replied.

“How did you alter your pulse to make the person taking your pulse think it was dangerous?” Wei Ruo asked mockingly.

In her years of practice, she had never encountered someone who could manipulate their pulse to deceive others.

“I learned it from medical books. The pulse can be influenced by pressure applied to certain points on the arm.” Wei Jinyi answered. His deep-set eyes gazed at Wei Ruo. After a pause, he asked, “When did you learn medical skills?”

“I learned from an old man in the countryside,” Wei Ruo replied. “Rest up now. Your body still needs a few more days to recover. Don't exert yourself too much. Stay in bed to avoid any complications.”

Wei Ruo didn't stay for long since Wei Jinyi was already okay.

As she was about to leave, she heard Wei Jinyi's calm, steady, and convincing voice, “I will keep your secret.”

“Hmm.” Wei Ruo mumbled in agreement, then left the room.

Back in Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo washed up and went straight to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already evening.

After a brief freshening up, she went to the dining hall.

As soon as she walked in, she felt a strange atmosphere.

Wei Qingwan wasn't there because of her injured foot.

Only Yunshi, Wei Yichen, Wei Yilin, and Wei Ruo remained.

Except for Wei Yichen, the others didn't look so good, especially Wei Yilin.

As soon as he saw Wei Ruo, he glared at her with a look that could kill.

Wei Ruo ignored him and calmly took her seat.

“Humph!” Wei Yilin made a scornful sound in a deliberate attempt to express his displeasure.

“Yilin, don't talk while eating or on the bed.” Wei Yichen reminded him sternly.

Wei Yilin pouted, puffed up his cheeks, and started eating his food in silence.

After dinner, Yunshi didn't hold the usual tea and chat session. She didn't even show any concern for Wei Ruo like before, but sent them all to rest.

Wei Ruo left the dining room and had only walked a few steps when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Wei Yilin rushed up to her, blocked her path, and demanded, “Why did you bully sister? Sister is so good! She always thinks of you and gives you the best things. She even told me to be nice to you, but you pushed her and cause her injury! You're so mean!”

Wei Ruo didn't want to deal with Wei Yilin and continued walking after sidestepping him.

Wei Yilin stubbornly followed her and once again blocked her path.

“You must clarify this today!” Wei Yilin said, mustering up an intimidating aura.

“What do you want me to say? That I bullied Wei Qingwan? That I ruthlessly pushed Wei Qingwan to the ground and caused her injury?”

“So you admit you're mindless?”

“It's not about what I admit, but what you want me to admit. You've already labeled me as a villain. What else is there to say?” Wei Ruo replied with a scornful laugh.

Wei Yichen, who had caught up with them, pulled Wei Yilin away, “Yilin! I have already explained to you that Suoruo pushing Wanwan was an accident!”

“But sister was bleeding! What if she gets a scar?”

“Suoruo was anxious because your second brother fell sick! It's understandable that she was impatient because it's a matter of life and death! Do you understand?” Wei Yichen instructed.

“But he's not my brother. He's not raised by my mother!” Wei Yilin didn't recognize Wei Jinyi. In his eyes, Wei Jinyi was an anomaly.

“I didn't see you accepting me as a sister born from the same mother either.” Wei Ruo hit back.

“You!” Wei Yilin wanted to retort, but he couldn't find the words to respond to Wei Ruo's rebuttal..
