CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 61 IN FACT, I CAN BE PETTY

Yuchi sat down by the light and began to check the ledger.

He didn’t understand the work of an accountant, but that didn’t stop him from having a basic big picture view.

Recently, the overall accounts of the Wei Family looked quite good, with business sources being varied, coming from various towns.

He looked through it for about half an hour.

Yuchi slowly nodded, having gone through the accounts, with a temporary conclusion of "not bad".

He also noted down the general situation of the Wei Family.

This way, a few days later, when he looks at the accounts of other families, he will have some idea.

Otherwise, if others write nonsense, he might not be able to spot it.

The Wei Family occupies twenty percent of the garment making in Xufu Town, which is a basic benchmark.

Other families’ accounts can be higher or lower.

But they can’t be too ridiculous.

Otherwise, the business association would have to take not-so-kind measures.

Not bad; little beauty Wei Yuan is reliable, gentle-voiced, sweet, and slim-waisted, a virtuous wife-level presence.

Let’s wait.

Wait a couple of days to see the situation.

Then have her help look over the other families’ accounts; just because I don’t understand doesn’t mean I can’t get help.

Yuchi still trusts Wei Yuan greatly.

Closing the account book, Yuchi took a breath and, with relaxed brows, looked at Wei Yuan, "Thank you."

"No need!" Wei Yuan immediately replied in a small voice, but the girl was quite happy, this feeling of recognition was wonderful.

"Haha, then in a few days, if there are other accounts, you can help me check them as well." Yuchi was referring to the business association’s.

"If Brother Yuchi needs my help, I will definitely provide what little help I can without a second thought." Wei Yuan confirmed again.

Full of joy.

Her smile was indeed charming.

Biting into a dog treat, Xun Xian shook her head, "The sour smell of love, tsk tsk."

Little Ximo turned her head to look at Xun Xian, "Auntie, what is love?"

"It’s the elder sister!"

Xun Xian calmly replied, "Love is when one side wants to fill the emptiness of the other, and the other side wants to melt the hardness of the one."

"Ah!"

Little Ximo suddenly understood and said crisply, "Love is like my candied haws!"

"Candied haws keep me from being hungry, and I can melt the candy coating!"

Yuchi, "I’m begging you, Xun Xian, be a decent person."

Xun Xian, "Are you going to hit me? You think crookedly yourself, and you blame me."

Wei Yuan listened, her face blushing, her sister Xun really dared to say anything!

Can such things be openly discussed?

It really made her feel quite shy.

But now there’s a chance, I just need to ask Brother Yuchi a few questions to help him make winter clothes!

Come on!

Wei Yuan, you’re the best!

She took a deep breath, her red lips parted, she slowly led, her voice slightly trembling, "Brother Yuchi..."

"Ah?"

Yuchi, in the midst of teasing Xun Xian, turned his head to look at her in confusion.

And just as Wei Yuan mustered the courage to ask, someone came in from outside.

It was Wei Zhe.

"Third Brother, the seamstress from the business association has already made the samples according to your request, calling you to take a look." he said.

"Okay." Yuchi smiled at little Ximo, "Uncle has to go to work, you stay here and play with Auntie Xun Xian and Sister Wei Yuan."

Why is she the sister, and I’m the auntie!

Xun Xian frowned, "You, you really are petty."

"Haha."

Yuchi laughed as he left.

In the courtyard, only Wei Yuan’s nervous breathing could be heard.

Biting a bone, Xun Xian came out with a line, "You weren’t this nervous in front of me, why are you so flustered in front of Yuchi."

"I don’t know..." Wei Yuan hid her head.

"Really, isn’t it just about asking for clothing sizes? Just ask directly, Yuchi isn’t stingy." Xun Xian was exasperated.

"But Sister Xun, you just said Brother Yuchi is stingy." Wei Yuan retorted softly.

Come on!

This you remember clearly, how does your brain work?

"What are you?" Xun Xian asked.

"Replying to Sister Xun, I’m a tiger." Wei Yuan answered.

"A tiger, huh, that tiger following you is really aggrieved."

Xun Xian smiled bitterly, "Alright, I just can’t understand why you’re afraid of Yuchi."

"That guy’s really easy to talk to, inherently a gentle person."

"Just tell him directly, don’t beat around the bush."

"Do you see him having time to play mind games with you now?"

"Don’t let the day come when Yuchi has kids with someone else, and you’re still asking him for clothing sizes, that’d be a joke."

Yeah, I wasn’t targeting Wei Qingzhu, I was talking about that guy Yuchi and his peculiar connections.

The mystical girl who exists in the role of a younger sister, Wei Qingzhu!

Didn’t expect Wei Yuan to weakly respond, "I can actually be the small one."

Xun Xian.

Stunned.

Then looking at Wei Yuan with a "hating iron for not becoming steel" expression.

Simpering, simpering, in the end, you’ll have nothing!

"Oh dear, if you like someone, go pursue them; otherwise, you’ll just watch love gradually slip away from you."

"By then, you’ll be full of resentment, easily turning into a vengeful ghost."

Isn’t that true.

After turning into a vengeful ghost, you’ll be taken down by some mage with a combo.

Wei Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I’ll do my best."

"Yeah, I’m rooting for you."

"If you’re too shy to ask, I’ll help you ask."

"It just needs to be your doing in the end."

Xun Xian looked cheerfully at little Ximo’s face, "Sweetie, are you still eating this meat?"

"No more!"

"If you’re not eating, give it to sister, okay?" Xun Xian coaxed.

"Okay~" little Ximo replied sweetly.

Wei Yuan couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Xun Xian coaxing the child.

...

At the Wei Mansion, the sky gradually darkened.

On the road, Wei Zhe looked at his third brother, "I just saw Wei Yuan, is she suitable for our Wei Family?"

"No problem," Yuchi replied with a smile.

"Really? She seemed quite restrained to me."

"After all, she was once supposed to be married to you, third brother; our Wei Family wouldn’t treat others unfairly."

"She gave me the impression of being quite courageous before."

"Doesn’t seem the same now?"

Wei Zhe was referring to Wei Yuan once charging into the Wei Family alone to plead for the Qi Family.

You know, such a thing isn’t something any girl can dare to do.

So, where did that once brave girl go?

Occasionally, she looks a bit timid.

Could it be our third brother bullying Wei Yuan? That can’t be, our third brother isn’t like that.

"It’s actually quite simple."

"She already gave her all when she took the courage to come find me on behalf of the Qi Family."

"She can’t and shouldn’t do it again."

"This subconscious punishment for herself, not to mention the implication of marrying into the family."

"If it were you."

"You’d be timid too."

Yuchi answered concisely.

Marrying in is tough.

Whether it’s a man or a woman.

Originally, they were well-matched, but now Wei Yuan has no family backing her.

She’s here at the Wei Mansion all alone.

Maybe she subconsciously associates her past recklessness with her current situation; if it’s really as Yuchi guessed, how could she act impulsively now?

But it’s okay.

Take it slow, even the biggest scars will be gradually smoothed out by daily warmth.

Her name has changed too, and she’ll slowly integrate into the Wei Mansion without looking at the Wei Family from an outsider’s perspective.

No need to rush.

Wei Yuan didn’t hear Yuchi’s response at this moment, otherwise, she might have cried from being moved.

Although Yuchi doesn’t talk much with her, he surprisingly understands these things.

Just like Xun Xian said, sometimes he really is gentle.

Wei Zhe looked surprised at the young man in fine clothes beside him.

"Third brother, is there anything you don’t know about the Wei Family?" he said with emotion.

"Yes."

"I don’t know when I’ll have a sister-in-law," Yuchi said vaguely.

"..."

It was Wei Zhe’s turn to blush, why drag in the matter of getting a sister-in-law into scholarly talk.

"Um, what about that?"

"Have you eaten?"

"Let’s have a meal together after mom’s tailoring issue is settled."

Yuchi, "..."
