She felt like her adopted daughter, once so in tune with her, had now become a stranger, while her own biological daughter was cold and aloof. She felt as though she had failed as a mother.
Yun Shi wanted to discuss some things about Wei Ruo's upcoming marriage, but couldn't bring herself to speak due to Wei Ruo's frigid and aloof look.
Wei Yilin ran to Wei Ruo's side, eager to continue their earlier conversation.
"Big sister, I've gathered even more silver. This time, I'm going to buy you even more expensive gifts! Can I pick out jewelry and beautiful fabrics for you?"
"Where did you get more silver?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you!"
Wei Yilin planned to sell some of his valuable possessions in secret, although he had no idea how much they were worth. However, he was willing to exchange them all to add to his sister's dowry.
"I lack nothing. My dowry is all prepared," Wei Ruo said.
