Chapter 61 Doing ideological work on Wei Wan
Wei Wan was sitting with her mother, Madam Wei, and the atmosphere between them was warm and full of family affection.
Madam Wei had not seen her daughter for a long time, and her heart was filled with longing.
When she saw Wei Wan, tears welled up in her eyes, and her emotions flowed out uncontrollably like a flood.
She reached out her trembling hand and gently stroked Wei Wan's cheek, feeling her warmth.
Wei Wan also felt her mother's deep affection. She held her mother's hand tightly, offering her comfort and support.
Their eyes met, and they could both read deep love and concern in each other's eyes.
Meanwhile, Yun Juan was discussing something with Grand Tutor Wei, who had summoned her to his study!
"Could you please persuade your mother on my behalf?" Yun Quan looked at Grand Tutor Wei, feeling that his intervention might lead to a better outcome.
"This...I'm afraid I can't do it." Grand Tutor Wei looked troubled; he hadn't expected Yun Juan to be so blunt.
Although he was unhappy that Wei Wan was with Yun Ting, time had passed and he could no longer dissuade her. The most important thing was what Wei Wan thought in her heart.
Whether she still has feelings for Yun Ting or not, if she still has feelings for Yun Ting, no amount of persuasion from anyone will be of any use!
Yun Juan frowned slightly. She knew that this request was indeed a bit excessive, but she had no other choice.
"Grand Tutor, I know this is difficult for you, but only you can help me." Yun Juan's voice carried a hint of pleading.
After a moment of silence, Grand Tutor Wei sighed and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but this matter is of great importance. If there's even the slightest mistake, your mother, Wei Wan, will probably be unhappy."
Yun Juan gritted her teeth and decided to tell Grand Tutor Wei some secrets, hoping to move him.
"Grandfather, to be honest, the adopted son that Old Madam Yun has brought in this time is actually my father's illegitimate son, not some child from another clan raised under the name of his legal wife! I hope that you will consider our past relationship and persuade my mother!"
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Wei's expression turned serious, realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Alright, Juan'er, I will do my best. But this matter needs careful consideration; we must not rush things." Grand Tutor Wei was afraid that if this matter were revealed, Wei Wan would not be able to accept it, and if she collapsed, it would be all over!
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandfather!" Yun Juan said, bowed, and left the study.
After leaving the study, Yun Juan felt slightly heavy-hearted.
Upon entering the hall, Yun Juan heard the cheerful laughter of her maternal grandmother, mother, and aunts from various rooms. She didn't want to break the atmosphere!
Yun Juan composed herself, put on a smile, and stepped inside: "Grandmother and Mother, what are they talking about? They seem to be having a very lively conversation."
"Look, Juan'er is really growing up to look more and more like Wan'er from back then!" Grandmother said, looking at Yun Juan in front of her!
Yun Juan understood that her maternal grandmother was thinking about the days when her mother was by her side, and she remembered the stalemate between her mother and the Grand Tutor's Mansion back then.
My grandmother must have been heartbroken for a very, very long time!
She had just heard from her aunt that her maternal grandmother's hair had turned completely white from waiting all these years!
How could they accept that their precious daughter, whom they had raised with such care, had ended up in the hands of a poor and destitute scholar?
"Please stay and have a meal! Your grandmother has prepared so many delicious dishes!" Old Mrs. Wei stared intently at Wei Wan's expression, afraid that she might utter a single word of refusal!
“Okay, Grandmother!” Yun Juan readily agreed!
She knew that Wei Wan might not know how to deal with her family's enthusiasm, so she decided to answer for her!
During the meal, Yun Juan kept serving food to Wei Wan, and Wei Wan looked at her with a gentle gaze.
"Eat some yourself, don't put any more in Mother's bowl, it's already overflowing!" Wei Wan looked at Yun Juan, who was acting strangely today, being far too enthusiastic. Wei Wan even wondered if something had happened!
"Alright, Wan-mei, isn't it enough that your sweet little darling dotes on you? You're making us so jealous! We wish we had someone as sweet as her, but we don't have one yet!" The aunts all looked at their mother with envy.
Wei Wan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed by their teasing.
Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Grandma Wei burst into tears. This was what a family should be like. No one knew how long she had waited for this day!
After dinner, Yun Juan took an opportunity to take Wei Wan for a walk in the garden.
"Mother, I have something to tell you," Yun Juan said softly.
Wei Wan looked at her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Yun Juan took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Mother, I want you to divorce Yun Ting. What do you think about this?"
"Divorce!" Wei Wan had never heard these two words before, and she was somewhat shocked!
She never expected her daughter to be so bold as to support her mother and father's divorce!
“I know this is difficult for you, but Mother, you deserve a better life.” Yun Juan looked at Wei Wan with a firm gaze.
“Father is not good enough for you. You have sacrificed so much for this family, but he doesn’t know how to appreciate it.”
Wei Wan's eyes welled up with tears. She held Yun Juan's hand and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Juan'er, you've really grown up. I always thought you were too young to understand these things. I never expected you to be so sensible."
“Mother, I’m not a child anymore. I hope you can live a happy and fulfilling life. Divorce might be a new beginning, and you can pursue your own happiness,” Yun Juan comforted her.
Wei Wan nodded, her decision already made. She looked at Yun Juan gratefully and sighed, "Thank you, Juan'er. You've shown your mother another possibility in life."
“However, the matter of divorce needs to be considered carefully.” Wei Wan, after all, was a lady from a respectable family and considered things thoroughly. “This matter is of great importance and cannot be acted upon rashly. We need to plan it carefully.”
“Mother, I understand.” Yun Juan knew this was not an easy task, “but as long as we are determined, we will definitely find a solution.”
After the matter was settled, Yun Juan sat in the pavilion, looking at the shimmering water, her heart filled with ripples of emotion!
Since the waters in Kyoto aren't turbid enough, she'll add fuel to the fire and make them even turbider!
Remembering that someone was still pitifully investigating the puppeteer, who seemed to be hiding and there were still no clues, Yun Juan resorted to this desperate measure!
The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish! Everyone understands this principle!
Since they want to be cowards, she'll let them be cowards to their heart's content.
When she gets back, she'll have to talk to that guy Murong Qian. An Yi is still lying in the Prime Minister's mansion. Her shop has just been renovated, so there's no extra food to feed An Yi!
Let's see if we can get some silver out of Murong Qian's pocket. We can't eat for free, or we'll be so pathetic!
