The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

The hall was still brightly lit, and the silhouettes of several people were reflected in the window lattice. Pei Qian looked on from a distance, her expression filled with rage and hatred.

Wei Shu came out of the door, called a maid over, and gave her a few instructions. The maid quickly went to carry out the orders. Wei Shu raised her head and caught sight of Pei Qian standing in the corridor of the wing-room with an unfriendly gaze, prompting a slight hook at the corner of her mouth.

The maid soon returned carrying a food box.

Wei Shu took the food box and glanced at Pei Qian again. She took a couple of steps, but couldn’t help turning back around and gazed towards the wing-room where Pei Qin was sleeping. Although the room was pitch-dark, she felt as though she could see Pei Qin hiding behind the window, seething with jealousy and anger, which made her feel a slight sense of pleasure. Holding the food box, she entered her room with a spring in her step.

Pei Qian spat in disdain, cursing inwardly for the shamelessness, then she went back to her room to grab a cushion and sat down in the corridor, keeping an eye on the activity in the hall. If Mo Heng dared to stay out all night chatting with that shameless woman, she was determined to have her older sister kick him out! Even if her older sister was carrying Jiujiu and Brother Songming had not minded it before, without him now, Brother Songming would definitely accept her older sister!

Wei Shu served the nutritious soup she had stewed, giving each person a bowl, and specifically brewed a cup of bird’s nest soup for Mo Heng, "You look rather pale; you must have suffered a lot these past few years. You should take good care of your body."

Mo Heng thanked her but did not accept the cup, and instead took leave of Old Mr. Wei, "I have to get up early tomorrow to continue my journey, so I won’t accompany you any longer."

"Since you’re here, why not stay a few more days?" Wei Shu said, not waiting for her grandfather to speak.
