The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Wei Ruo Pretends to be Drunk_1

“Second Brother, the weather is gradually getting warmer these days. I am thinking of having a drink in the yard this evening to enjoy the cool breeze. What do you think?” Wei Ruo suddenly proposed.

“Sounds good.” Wei Jinyi agreed.

“I will make spicy rabbit head, frozen fish skin, and century egg tofu as an accompaniment to the drinks,” said Wei Ruo.

“Sounds good.” Everything she made was good.

“Alright, I’ll get started.”

Wei Ruo left cheerfully.

By evening, the two arranged a small table in the yard of Songzhu Garden, sat down together to eat, drink and enjoy the coolness.

Wei Ruo was drinking liquor, Wei Jinyi was drinking iced tea.

Watching Wei Ruo—one cup after another, Wei Jinyi couldn’t help but frown.

Although Wei Ruo’s tolerance for alcohol was pretty good, she wasn’t invincible and had been drunk before.

He was a bit worried about her drinking too much.

And soon, what Wei Jinyi was worried about happened. Wei Ruo began to blush and looked dazed.

“Ruoruo, drink less. Too much alcohol is bad for your health,” Wei Jinyi advised.

“Second Brother, I’m having a good time today. Let me enjoy myself!” Wei Ruo mumbled.

Hearing this, Wei Jinyi couldn’t refuse any longer, only looking at Wei Ruo’s swaying figure made his eyebrows crinkle more.

Finally, Wei Ruo got drunk. She grabbed the wine pot and staggered towards Wei Jinyi’s room.

Wei Jinyi could only follow behind her by pushing the wheels of his wheelchair.

“Second Brother, I feel a bit dizzy. I want to go to sleep,” Wei Ruo said while walking.

Wei Jinyi followed closely, his gaze never leaving her.

Wei Ruo walked all the way to Wei Jinyi’s bed, turned around and gulped down two mouthfuls of wine.

After drinking, she collapsed onto Wei Jinyi’s bed.

Lying on the bed, Wei Ruo’s eyes were closed, but her consciousness was extremely clear.

She wasn’t drunk, not a bit.

The wine she drank today was watered down. It smelled like alcohol, but actually contained little alcohol.

Since second brother didn’t drink, naturally he wouldn’t know that her wine was fake.

Wei Ruo couldn’t see Wei Jinyi, she could only judge his actions based on the sound and feeling.

She heard the sound of the wheelchair, her second brother was getting closer to her.

Immediately, her second brother took the empty wine pot from her hand.

Then her dangling leg was lifted by a force and placed on the bed.

Wei Ruo muttered to herself: she hadn’t even taken off her shoes! This would dirty the bed!

Second Brother can’t even dare to take off her shoes?

Isn’t he too upright?

As she was thinking, Wei Ruo suddenly felt a warmth approaching her.

The face of her second brother was getting closer to her, she could feel the breath he was exhaling.

Then, her forehead was touched by something soft and warm.

It was lips.

The lips of her second brother.

He kissed her.

Then the warmth began to recede.

She was then covered with a thin blanket.

After that, Wei Ruo heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling away from her.

Shortly after, Wei Ruo heard the door of the room close, and the room became quiet. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Wei Ruo slowly opened her eyes and sat on the edge of the bed.

She touched her forehead, as if there was still a residual warmth there.

Wei Ruo sighed slightly in her heart, feeling both delighted and lost at second brother’s reservedness.

Another three days passed.

As Zhe Ta had promised, she took care of the children in the orphanage established by Wei Ruo every day.

There were now nineteen children in the orphanage, which was not easy to take care of.

Zhang Yi reported the observations on Zhe Ta over the past few days to Wei Ruo.

“Miss, this Princess Zhe Ta is quite patient. She is busy all day, but still manages to put the children to sleep with patience every night, and even tells stories to the little girls.”

“Additionally, our informants have sent back their reports. The Princess Zhe Ta of the Yehe Tribe is indeed a person who cares deeply about her people. When the blizzard struck last year, she was on the front lines of the relief efforts and was almost buried in the snow herself.”

If the Princess Zhe Ta had travelled all this way to find her, ready to put up with her untoward behavior for the sake of her people, then there must have been some benevolent actions on her part in the past. Therefore Wei Ruo specifically commanded Zhang Yi to inquire.

After listening to Zhang Yi’s report, Wei Ruo’s mind began to formulate a conclusion.

“Thank you for your hard work, this information is very useful to me.” After that, Wei Ruo stood up, “I will go meet this unusual Princess of the Yehe Tribe right now.”

“The great warrior rode his horse into the valley, blocking the frightening tiger. The warrior drew his sword and stabbed the tiger’s belly….”

Wei Ruo arrived at the door of the room, even before entering, she could hear Zhe Ta’s voice coming from inside.

It seemed that she was telling the children a story about the warriors of their Jurchen Tribe.

Wei Ruo didn’t rush in but waited outside the door until Zhe Ta finished telling the story, and the children had all fallen asleep. Zhe Ta then came out of the room.

Zhe Ta, seeing Wei Ruo at the door, asked, “What brings you here?”

“Can we talk?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I don’t think I have a choice,” Zhe Ta said.

“Let’s go, let’s sit in the room next door.”

Wei Ruo took Zhe Ta to an empty room nearby.

Xiumei lit the lamp in the room and brewed tea for the two of them.

“Are you here to make a new request?” Zhe Ta asked, “Tell me, I am already prepared.”

“Good, here goes. I hope to have a friendly relationship with your Yehe tribe. We can solve the food problem together, trade after life is prosperous in both places, and share our resources,” Wei Ruo said.

Zhe Ta looked at Wei Ruo in surprise, apparently unaware that Wei Ruo would make such a request.

“Is this your request?”

“Yes, this is my request,” Wei Ruo said with a smile. “In return, I am willing to share my high yield seeds, and I am also willing to share the cultivation methods, including but not limited to planting time, techniques, and fertilization precautions.”

“You… Why have you suddenly become so generous?” Zhe Ta asked.

“I did not suddenly become generous, but I was always willing to share these things with the Jurchen people. The previous requirements I made were to verify your words and confirm that you are indeed for the people and not for your personal gain,” Wei Ruo said.

After listening to Wei Ruo’s words, Zhe Ta was silent for a while.

Wei Ruo was not in a hurry. She leisurely took a sip of tea, waiting for Zhe Ta to think clearly before giving her an answer.

After a long while, Zhe Ta looked up, her face full of smiles, and replied, “I take back what I said when I first met you, that there was nothing special about you. You are quite special indeed.”

Wei Ruo smiled, “Whether I am special or not, I don’t know. I only do what I think is right.”

“Rest assured, I will proliferate the seeds you gave me and distribute them to those who need them. The farming techniques you taught, I will also teach to others when I return, without reservations,” Zhe Ta promised Wei Ruo.

Then Zhe Ta picked up the cup of tea on the table. “Queen, I will toast you with tea in lieu of wine today.”

“Then, I will be looking forward to it,” Wei Ruo said to Zhe Ta.
