"Ruo Ruo is... preparing for her lessons in her room."
In reality, Wei Ruo was probably busy tending to the fruits and vegetables in her garden, but Yun was too embarrassed to tell others that her daughter was gardening. So, she falsely claimed that Ruo Ruo was preparing for her lessons.
"Mother, I'm going to see what she's preparing." Xie Ying said.
Madam Xie turned to Yun and asked, "Madam Wei, may I...?"
Yun gave an awkward smile. But since Madam Xie had asked, she could hardly refuse and could only agree, "Then I will have my Maid Cuiping lead Miss Xie there."
"Let's go now." Xie Ying left without paying any attention to Wei Qingwan, who was smiling and watching her.
Yun was right. At this moment, Wei Ruo was picking the tender tips of the zucchini vines in her courtyard.
Her zucchini vines were growing very well. They climbed up half of the courtyard wall and had borne several fruits. It was the perfect time to pick these two things.
