Upon hearing his son call out to Wei Ruo, Xu Zhushan turned around. Seeing Wei Ruo, he immediately put away his stern expression, "Miss, how come you're here?"
"I heard you and Brother Xiaoyong were having an argument, so I came over to see."
"Ah, it's this rascal disobeying. A few lashes will straighten him out. It's not worth you making the trip, Miss."
Ridden with injustice, Xu Zhengyong could only protest with his eyes.
Hearing the voices, Mother Xu came out from the house. Seeing Wei Ruo, her mood brightened, she walked over and embraced Wei Ruo, "Miss."
Although they lived close by, Mother Xu hadn't seen Wei Ruo for quite a few days.
She heard from Xiumei that Wei Ruo had even been locked in a firewood room at the Military Prefecture. Then she realized Wei Ruo's life there wasn't as good as she initially thought.
So, she worried Wei Ruo was not eating or sleeping well in the Military Prefecture and often managed to send some things to her.
