Xiao Kongkong had clearly made up his mind, but he was still quite heavy-hearted about the matter.
Wen Yi waited patiently.
Xiao Kongkong took a deep breath and clenched his fist. "Xiao Lan has no good intentions."
Xiao Kongkong's expression was very serious. The fact that she had to report her own sister put her under tremendous pressure.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Wen Yi reached out and patted Xiao Kongkong's shoulder.
“You…” Xiao Kongkong looked at Wen Yi, opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. Anyway, her expression was quite surprised.
The main issue was that Wen Yi's expression was too calm.
Even if he had anticipated that Xiao Lan had ill intentions, he would still be somewhat surprised, but Wen Yi's expression was too calm and composed.
Although I expected that this second wife would be very stable and different from ordinary people, this... is a bit too stable.
"Let's go downstairs for dinner," Wen Yi said.
Xiao Kongkong finally couldn't hold back and grabbed Wen Yi, "Aren't you surprised at all?"
"What do you expect me to be surprised about?"
"Xiao Lan, she..."
“From the first time she saw me, she was hostile. Not a single word she said about Ruan Ruan was a scathing attack on me, a woman of little status who lived not far from the Imperial Garden.”
"How could someone like that suddenly become friendly be without any problems?"
When Wen Yi added the last sentence, he looked at Xiao Kongkong and revealed a somewhat contemptuous smile.
Xiao Kongkong was stunned for a moment.
She was certain that Wen Yi's smile was mocking Xiao Lan's mental disability.
“You and her remind me of my sister and me,” Wen Yi said with emotion. “My sister is incredibly smart, but she’s also a bit too clever for her own good. She thinks she’s invincible with her little bit of cleverness, but in reality, everyone can see right through her.”
Wen Yi said mockingly as she started walking downstairs.
Xiao Kongkong didn't follow; she just stood there, watching Wen Yi's figure head down to the restaurant.
Xiao Kongkong kept thinking about Wen Yi's words.
She sighed and went downstairs.
As Xiao Kongkong walked into the restaurant, Xiao Lan came out and stopped her, then closed the restaurant door.
Xiao Lan pulled Xiao Kongkong along as they walked out. When they were almost at the door, Xiao Lan glanced warily at the restaurant entrance.
He asked Xiao Kongkong, "I just saw you standing at the top of the stairs, whispering something to that woman. What did you two talk about?"
Xiao Lan appeared very wary.
She kept glancing back at the restaurant, clearly afraid that Wen would see this scene when he opened the restaurant.
Xiao Kongkong looked at Xiao Lan with a complicated expression, "Sister, can you listen to my advice?"
Xiao Lan turned her gaze away from the restaurant and looked at Xiao Kongkong with disgust. She pushed him away and said, "Stop putting on airs in front of me with your lecturing attitude."
"Sister, I'm not putting on airs. I just wanted to remind you that this second wife is different from the previous ones..."
"What's different?" Xiao Lan retorted sharply.
'This one is more astute; they can see through your stupidity at a glance.'
Xiao Kongkong kept these words to herself; she would never say them aloud to Xiao Lan, who was proud and arrogant and couldn't stand being questioned.
Even Xiao Kongkong knew in his heart that if he tried to persuade Xiao Lan in a gentle way at this time, Xiao Lan would still reject him and fly into a rage.
The proud and arrogant Xiao Lan would not listen to any advice or criticism.
But as her younger sister, Xiao Kongkong didn't want to see Xiao Lan die.
Xiao Kongkong took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I hope you won't be angry and will listen to me calmly..."
"What are you saying!" Xiao Lan said sharply. "I've always known you're stupid, but I didn't expect you to be not only stupid but also cowardly. She's just the eldest daughter of the Wen family, does she really think she's so high and mighty? I'm just teaching her a lesson to make her realize her place, what's wrong with that?"
"Sis, this is really different..."
Snap!
Before Xiao Kongkong could finish speaking, Xiao Lan raised her hand and slapped him across the face, saying, "Nonsense."
"I'm warning you, don't say anything to Wen Yi that could ruin my plans. If you do, I'll hold you accountable, you hear me!"
Xiao Kongkong tilted his head, feeling the burning pain on his face. Xiao Lan had hit him too hard, making Xiao Kongkong's ears ring and making it almost impossible for him to hear what Xiao Lan was saying.
However, she didn't need to understand what Xiao Lan was saying; she already knew in her heart what she was talking about.
Xiao Kongkong looked at Xiao Lan coldly, very disappointed, and too lazy to care, so he turned around and left.
Xiao Lan was quite angry. "You think you're so great, daring to be so insolent in front of me?"
Xiao Kongkong couldn't hear her, so she quickened her pace.
Dining room.
Wen Yi stood behind the door and saw the argument between the two sisters, Xiao Lan and Xiao Kongkong, through the crack in the door. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he clearly saw Xiao Lan slap Xiao Kongkong.
Wen Yi appeared quite calm until she saw Xiao Lan approaching, at which point she turned around and returned to the dining table.
Ruanruan is a very well-behaved eater. She can eat by herself and only eats more than she should eat. After finishing her portion, she still stares longingly at the other food on the table.
I want to eat it.
She turned her head and blinked at Wen.
Wen Yi immediately understood what Ruan Ruan meant, "Do you still want to eat?"
Ruan Ruan immediately nodded excitedly.
"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Upon receiving these words, Ruan Ruan smiled happily, her whole being bursting with excitement, and she looked at the food with such joy that she felt like she could take flight.
Pointing at that, then at this, wanting to eat them all.
Wen Yi was worried that the children would eat too much, and also wanted them to be able to taste everything, so she took a little of everything.
For something like steamed cake, Wen took it, cut it in half for herself, and then gave a little bit to Ruanruan.
Children are easily satisfied. Even if it's just a little bit, Ruanruan is very happy and her eyes disappear when she smiles.
When the servants who were serving nearby saw this scene, they were about to step forward when Xiao Lan arrived and stopped them.
The maid looked at Xiao Lan, who shook her head. The maid didn't dare to say anything more, but she looked at Ruan Ruan with some concern.
However, Xiao Lan is known for her domineering nature in the Imperial Garden. If you don't listen to her, no one in the Imperial Garden will have a good time in the future.
When Wen Yi looked up, she saw Xiao Lan standing to the side, smiling at her.
He personally came over to serve Wen Yi vegetables.
"I don't want to leave while watching from the side," Xiao Lan said. "I've been taking care of Ruan Ruan for quite a while now. Although she's always been very cute, it's rare to see her so happy like she was just now. I couldn't take my eyes off her."
"Second Madam, thank you for taking such good care of Ruan Ruan and making her so happy."
Xiao Lan put down the serving chopsticks and sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Wen Yi's eyes were gentle, but his words were very direct: "Ruan Ruan is the Second Master's sister. As the Second Master's wife, isn't it my responsibility to take good care of her? If anyone should thank me, shouldn't the Second Master thank me?"
Miss Xiao Lan's thanks make me feel... Ruan Ruan is actually you..."
