The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 463: Chapter 463 Wasting Heavenly Resources_1

Wei Ruo’s gaze swept over everyone, absorbing their expressions, her face always adorned with a faint smile.

It was the old Madame Wei who reacted first, the first one to kneel down and pay respects to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo was the queen now, even their elders had to kneel and pay respects to her.

Seeing this, the others also knelt down and performed the ritual of worship.

“Long live the queen.”

“You may all rise.” Wei Ruo didn’t make anyone suffer, and after all of them stood up, she entered the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence surrounded by the crowd.

The men who were originally assigned to entertain King Rui had nothing to do at this moment, leaving only the women to accompany Wei Ruo to the Shou’an Hall.

Wei Ruo sat next to the old Madame Wei, next to whom on either side sat Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Mo, Bai family, and Wei Qingwan.

Old Madame Wei couldn’t resist holding Wei Ruo’s hand, and said in a doting manner, “Child, you have suffered a lot.”

King Rui not accompanying Wei Ruo on her return was seen as an extremely serious issue by old Madame Wei. It represented that Wei Ruo was not being taken seriously.

Wei Ruo calmly responded, “The prince is unwell. As his wife, I should be understanding.”

Mrs. Bai immediately laughed and said, “The queen is truly virtuous. With such consideration for the prince, he must be very fond of you.”

Mrs. Yun quickly commented, “It’s a known fact that the prince is unwell. At several grand ceremonies, the prince hasn’t been able to last till the end. It is quite normal that he couldn’t accompany the queen on her way back.”

Mrs. Bai laughed and said, “Third sister, there’s no need to emphasize that. I didn’t mention any problem with Prince Rui not accompanying the queen to return.”

Mrs. Yun was speechless.

Wei Ruo showed no signs of being affected, she smiled and said to old Madame Wei, “Grandmother, can you call brother Yilin for me? I have something to give him.”

“Sure, I’ll have him brought over.” Old Madame Wei agreed.

Soon, Wei Yilin was brought in. Walking in, he first paid his respects to old Madame Wei, then his gaze fell on Wei Ruo, his small eyes filled with worry.

Wei Ruo said, “A few days before my marriage, Yilin got injured while practicing and left a scar on his hand. I have some ointment here, just right for him.”

Then, Wei Ruo beckoned to Wei Yilin.

We Yilin came to Wei Ruo’s side.

Wei Yilin was only nine years old and didn’t need to worry too much about propriety.

In front of everyone, Wei Ruo took out a box of scar removal ointment.

The moment she saw the ointment, the ever-smiling Wei Qingwan’s face became stiff.

This was scar removal ointment sold in Tongde Hall, which she had bought at great expense and after a lot of effort!

The ointment she had worked so hard to get was now casually held in Wei Qingruo’s hand!

Mrs. Bai was also taken aback, Wei Qingwan had borrowed money from her to buy this ointment, so she naturally remembered it well.

Mrs. Yun frowned, too, feeling doubtful about how Ruoruo got this ointment. It was very expensive!

Mrs. Yun asked, “Ruoruo, could this ointment be from Tongde Hall?”

“Yes, it is from Tongde Hall. The prince said he was worried that I might get hurt, so he got me a few of these.” Wei Ruo answered.

A few? Did that mean there was more than one box?

From her words, it sounded like Prince Rui really loved her deeply.

Could it really be as she said, that King Rui didn’t accompany her today simply because he was unwell?

Everyone’s expression varied, and they couldn’t help but speculate.

Wei Yilin looked at the ointment and frowned, “I don’t need ointment. I’m a man, and it’s cool to keep some scars on my body!”

Wei Ruo replied, “Scars left from a battlefield are considered cool, but do you think the scars left from your training are impressive? What would you say when someone asks you how you got them? You accidentally injured yourself during training? Doesn’t sound cool at all.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Yilin pouted, feeling that there was some truth in her words, and stopped resisting.

Moreover, if his big sister was giving him ointment, it seemed like she was showing concern for him! How could he reject her kindness?

Sure enough, he still held a place in his big sister’s heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have saved him before, and still remember to care about the scars he acquired from training.

Wei Yilin immediately gained confidence, believing that he had a chance to restore the brother-sister relationship between him and his sister!

“Yilin, roll up your sleeves,” Wei Ruo said to Wei Yilin.

Wei Yilin didn’t resist and obediently rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his arm.

That knife scar extended from his elbow to his wrist – a bit long but not deep. The scab had already faded, leaving only a faint red mark.

Wei Ruo opened the porcelain box of ointment in her hand, and in front of everyone, began to apply it to Wei Yilin’s arm.

Wei Ruo scooped a large piece of ointment from the box and generously spread it over Wei Yilin’s arm.

Clearly, a small amount of ointment would have been sufficient to cover Wei Yilin’s wound, but Wei Ruo was not satisfied with that and insisted on stacking a thick layer of ointment onto his scar.

She then continued to scoop the remaining ointment from the box, similarly piling it thickly onto Wei Yilin’s scar.

A box of ointment that would usually be used up in half a month, Wei Ruo managed to use all in one go.

This left Wei Qingwan, who had strained relations with the Yun family in order to obtain a box of Scar Removal Ointment, pale in the face.

Wei Yilin asked Wei Ruo, “Big sister, is this how the ointment is supposed to be applied?”

Something didn’t feel quite right.

“I’m not sure, but I figured applying more can’t hurt,” Wei Ruo replied.

Bai Family couldn’t help but speak up, “Your Highness, this is not how the ointment is used. Applying it in small amounts over time is more effective. If you use it all at once, it won’t be absorbed properly, let alone that there will be none left for future use.”

“Is that so?”

Upon finishing her words, Wei Ruo took out a handkerchief and cleaned off the excessive, thick ointment from Wei Yilin’s scar all at once.

After wiping, Wei Ruo casually handed the handkerchief to Xiumei who was standing by her side.

Wei Qingwan’s gaze followed the handkerchief to Xiumei, only to see Xiumei tucking the handkerchief into her sleeve.

Then Wei Ruo said to Wei Yilin, “I’m sorry, I must have done it wrong.”

Wei Yilin quickly said, “Not at all, not at all, any way you apply it is good!”

How it’s applied doesn’t matter, whether it works or not doesn’t matter either, Wei Yilin was just happy!

Because he felt that his big sister really loved him! She cared about even the smallest scar on his body!

Ah, it seemed that his big sister was just being reserved on the surface, but deep inside she really cared about him!

He must work hard to make up for the harm he caused his big sister before, so that she could treat him wholeheartedly well in the future!

At this point, Bai Family could no longer contain themselves, “Your Highness, Queen, Qingwan also needs to use this ointment, since you seemed to have extra, could you give some to Qingwan?”
