The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 605: Chapter 605 I Will Teach You_1

Wei Ruo’s cheeks flushed, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Her hands, unsure of where to rest, shifted from his lower back to his waist before quickly retracting, only to return to his chest after a slight movement.

Wei Ruo fumbled around until finally, when her hand landed on his chest again, Wei Jinyi caught it.

“Sweetheart, stop moving.”

“Second brother?”

“Sleep.” His deep voice sounded from above her, soothing Wei Ruo softly.

Wei Ruo was a bit confused but did not persist in questioning.

After an indeterminable amount of time, slumber overtook her, and Wei Ruo peacefully fell asleep in his warm embrace.

Just like that, they shared a bed peacefully without incident for the night.

In the following days, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi continued to share a bed, but there was no further progress in their relationship.

Every night, Wei Jinyi would hold Wei Ruo, and they would kiss when the tension was too much to bear, but their intimacy would halt there.

Even if his body was burning with desire, he would choose to stop.

Wei Ruo was clueless about the reason. From her perspective, as both a wife and a doctor, she was sure nothing was physically wrong with him.

###

In August, Wei Ruo received a letter sent by Xie Ying via traders from the Capital City.

Due to communication difficulties, the letter she received was actually sent a month ago.

In the letter, Xie Ying shared some news of recent happenings in the Capital City, especially those concerning Wei Ruo.

Wei Qingwan’s baby was born prematurely, but luckily, both mother and child survived.

However, Wei Qingwan lost quite a bit of blood during the birth. While she survived, the doctor said it would be extremely difficult for her to have more children.

The good news was that the baby was a boy, the eldest son of King Yu and the emperor’s first grandson. The emperor was so overjoyed that he personally bestowed a name on him.

The king, pleased with the birth of his son, began treating her better again, and she regained her status.

Wei Yichen, on the other hand, had experienced a stroke of luck. Recently, because of a report he submitted, he received the emperor’s favor and was dispatched to Shandong to quell a rebellion.

Being assigned such a duty so soon after joining the Hanlin Academy was indeed a first.

Wei Yilin formally enlisted in the army, and no one knew how he had managed to convince Yun Shi to let him go.

However, he did not join his father in the Anti-Japanese Army, but instead, he started his military career in the Armed Forces Department of the Capital City, beginning as a gatekeeper.

In addition to the events concerning the Wei Family, Xie Ying also shared with Wei Ruo a brief summary of the current situation in the capital.

Currently, the court was divided into three factions—King Yu, King Jing, and King Qin.

King Yu and King Jing had both suffered considerable losses from previous power struggles and had lost the emperor’s trust, resulting in their significant decline in status.

King Qin, however, was recently promoted. The emperor intended to make heavy use of him, and he did not disappoint. Although he was not as talented as King Yu or King Jing, he was diligent and reliable, making him a suitable candidate for the royal title.

The emperor seemed to be testing the three of them, assigning each a task. King Yu was in charge of disaster relief in Shandong, King Jing was responsible for quelling the peasant uprisings in the disaster-stricken areas, and King Qin was put in charge of the anti-Japanese efforts in the southeast coast.

Through Xie Ying’s descriptions, Wei Ruo indirectly found out that the emperor was still in good health.

This news was encouraging to Wei Ruo.

According to the original story, the emperor should have passed away by this time.

The fact that he was alive exceeded the original storyline.

As long as the emperor lived, she and Wei Jinyi had backing, giving them more time to solidify their status.

Besides talking about others, Xie Ying also shared her own news—she was preparing to get married.

This came as expected, yet surprisingly.

Considering her age, it was time for Xie Ying to be married, but Wei Ruo did not expect her to decide on it so swiftly.

Wei Ruo also knew the man Xie Ying had chosen to marry, Fan Chengxu, who had recently returned to the Capital City.

Concerning family status, the two families matched well.

As for their characters, Wei Ruo found it hard to associate the two of them together.

They did share a common interest, though. They both loved making money and doing business.

Wei Ruo then replied to Xie Ying’s letter, sharing her recent experiences in Jiliao and the changes in her relationship with Wei Jinyi. She concluded with wishing Xie Ying well on her upcoming marriage.

###

In late August, the second batch of potatoes was ready to be harvested.

The large quantity of potatoes harvested had an even greater impact than Wei Ruo had anticipated.

Many people participated in planting this time, so the effects of this harvest were far-reaching.

To get another crop before the freezing weather, Wei Ruo quickly organized another planting session.

As a result, Wei Ruo was incredibly busy for a while, working late into the night for more than ten days straight.

Wei Jinyi would wait for her every evening until she was done with her work, calmly accompanying her whatever the hour, sometimes even bringing her midnight meals.

They would then retire to bed together and fall asleep in each other’s arms.

But that was the extent of their physical interaction, nothing else happened.

Thus, their relationship maintained this innocent yet intimate balance.

Until one day, when Wei Ruo was visiting Lin Fang and her child, she asked about Wei Jinyi’s sexual experience.

Noble children often received instruction from the household matron about sexual matters when they came of age.

Although the Wei family was not, strictly speaking, a flourishing one, it was patrician, so these preparations should have been made.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Fang and the others had been with Wei Jinyi since he was a child and should know about such arrangements.

However, Lin Fang told Wei Ruo that no such arrangements had been made for Wei Jinyi.

This was because of Wei Jinyi’s peculiar status within the Wei family, Yun Shi intentionally overlooked him, and thus no arrangements were made for such matters.

Others around him also didn’t dare to make arrangements without approval.

Wei Jinyi was calm and cold by nature and rarely interacted with others. Aside from some old acquaintances from his past life and his subordinates, he had scarcely any close friends, let alone lovers.

Wei Ruo surmised from this that perhaps… her second brother had no knowledge about sexual matters?

It seemed possible and was the most logical explanation.

That night, as usual, after they retired, Wei Ruo did not extinguish the lamp and arrange to sleep as she usually did.

Wei Ruo took the initiative to straddle Wei Jinyi.

“Ruoruo, what are you doing?” Wei Jinyi asked.

He furrowed his brows, seemingly puzzled.

“Second brother, don’t be scared. I’ll teach you.” Wei Ruo reassured him.

Saying that, she initiated a kiss with Wei Jinyi.

After the kiss, Wei Ruo began to unbutton Wei Jinyi’s clothes.

Wei Jinyi watched her actions, the fire in his eyes becoming more and more intense.
