Afterwards, Xiu Yaojun left together with Wei Qingwan toward the Peach Blossom Forest.
Yun had no comment on Wei Ruo's refusal to join Xiu Yaojun; for one, Wei Ruo had always been this way—even Yun herself, as her mother, received no face from her, let alone anyone else; for another, Wei Ruo and Xiu Yaojun were not close, so it was perfectly normal not to want to go out together.
Not long after Xiu Yaojun and the others left, the wife of the Assistant Magistrate came looking for Yun.
Yun met her with a smile, and as they chatted, the conversation turned to their sons who were studying at Anzhou Academy.
"I heard from my son Fengyuan that Young Master Wei is brilliant and talented, highly regarded by the teacher," said the Assistant Magistrate's wife in praise.
"The teacher flatters us. My son Yichen's learning is just ordinary. Compared with the other young gentlemen of the city, he still has much to learn," Yun replied modestly.
