The day after delivering the medicine to the Emperor, Wei Ruo began to arrange for the servants of the Wang Residence to revamp the backyard.
After all, she couldn't be much help in political struggles, so she stayed busy with what she needed to do, handling whatever came her way.
"Plant radishes in Mingxiang Pavilion, plant Swiss chard there, and rapeseed on that side. These veggies are frost-resistant - perfect for winter consumption if we plant them now."
"Clear Liufang Pavilion for raising chickens."
"Use that room on the far west side for storing coal."
"..."
Lin Fang returned from an errand to find Wei Ruo had turned the backyard of the Wang Residence upside down.
"Miss, what are you doing?" asked Lin Fang, puzzled.
Wei Ruo explained, "These rooms were just lying vacant anyway. It's great to store stuff in there. And the things I store won't spoil in a short period, so don't worry. I've already had the valuable furniture packed away. The main rooms are untouched."
