Early the next morning, Wei Ruo got up and had breakfast in her own room before leaving the house.
Just as she approached the gate of Tingsong Garden, she encountered Yun Shi, who had come to visit her.
"Where are you off to so early in the morning?" Yun Shi asked.
"I have matters to attend to outside," Wei Ruo responded, herexpression indifferent.
"You just got back yesterday and now you're leaving again. Just how much do you dislike being in this house?" Yun Shi questioned.
"Mother, after this massive snowfall, this is how it looks in town. Have you considered the conditions in the open fields? There are large numbers of disaster-stricken people living there. Since I'm charge of this issue, shouldn't I take the responsibility all the way?" Wei Ruo counter-questioned Yun Shi.
