Wen Yi didn't explain what he was going to say next, but his gaze at Xiao Lan made it very clear.
Xiao Lan's face changed immediately. "Second Madam, it's best not to speak carelessly in the Imperial Garden."
"Sorry, I'm a straightforward person, but I didn't mean any harm," Wen Yi said dismissively.
Xiao Lan was stung by the remark, "I don't mind, but there are some rules that I hope the Second Madam can understand, otherwise it will be difficult for her to have a good time in the Imperial Garden in the future."
"I think I can live quite well at the Imperial Garden no matter what I say," Wen Yi said thoughtfully. "After all, Second Master is quite indulgent towards me."
"To be honest, I was quite apprehensive before I married into this family, but after getting to know him, I found that the Second Master wasn't as terrible and unreasonable as the rumors suggested. At least he respects his wife and has already expressed his willingness to give me time to learn so that I can manage the Imperial Garden well in the future. After all, I am the future mistress of the Imperial Garden."
Wen Yi's personality is actually quite gentle; she speaks in a mild and unassuming manner with little aggression.
I was unwilling to talk about it before.
Now, when people talk about it, it's basically all about a hidden barb.
She had just said a lot of things, very politely and gently, but Xiao Lan understood what she meant.
Wen's words conveyed the message that she was the "second master's certified future mistress of the Imperial Garden," while Xiao Lan, despite her clamor, was nothing more than a nanny. What was there to be so arrogant about?
Xiao Lan's face turned black with anger.
If this were before, he would have flipped the table and given Wen Yi a good beating.
How dare you be so presumptuous in front of her!
But when Xiao Lan looked at Ruan Ruan, she thought about her own plans and forced herself to swallow Wen Yi's embarrassing remarks.
Xiao Lan tried her best to put on a reasonably friendly smile, but it was too difficult for her. So after her effort, her lips trembled and her expression became somewhat ferocious.
It's not very good-looking.
But Xiao Lan managed to suppress all her emotions. "The fact that the Second Madam's words were so well-received by the Second Master shows that the Second Madam is an exceptional person."
"You've been with me for so many days, can't you feel it?" Wen Yi asked abruptly.
Xiao Lan was also surprised by this statement, but she wasn't stupid and knew what Wen Yi wanted to hear.
Xiao Lan said, "Through these past few days of contact, apart from some initial misunderstandings about the Second Madam, I now truly understand her and find that she is a straightforward, gentle, broad-minded, and very hardworking and detail-oriented person."
Xiao Lan praised Wen Yi without blinking.
Wen Yi didn't think much of it, but he felt that Xiao Lan must not often praise people, otherwise she would have such a lack of compliments.
"I feel very honored to receive Miss Xiao Lan's praise."
“Not at all, it is an honor for the Imperial Garden to have two wives,” Xiao Lan continued.
Ruan Ruan, who was eating with her head down, suddenly realized something, looked up at Wen Yi, and said with a grin, "Hello, new sister-in-law, I like you, new sister-in-law."
Wen looked down and noticed that the little girl had food crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth, looking as dirty as a little kitten, which was incredibly cute.
Wen Yi couldn't help but laugh and wiped her soft face with a tissue.
Little Ruanruan asked very seriously, "Will the new sister-in-law be here too?"
"Yes, I will," Wen Yi replied affirmatively.
From the moment the Wen family forced her to marry into the Imperial Garden, Wen Yi had already cut off all her escape routes, even transferring her household registration to the Imperial Garden.
She was the kind of person who would rather die in the Imperial Garden than return to the Wen family.
How could there be a way out?
Wen touched the soft head and sighed softly.
The child didn't sense Wen Yi's complex emotions, but received a positive answer from Wen Yi that she would stay in the Royal Garden, which reassured Ruan Ruan.
Although her previous sister-in-law was annoying, she never stayed here for long, so Ruanruan didn't think much of it at the time.
But if her new sister-in-law leaves later, Ruan Ruan will be unhappy.
"Ruan Ruan likes her new sister-in-law." Ruan Ruan snuggled into Wen Yi's arms, expressing her affection and closeness.
Wen Yi used to be indifferent to children.
But now I really love kids.
I think girls are so considerate. They express their feelings directly, want to be with you, and will take the initiative to get close to you. There are no beating around the bush, no need to guess, and they just show what they're thinking.
very nice.
Wen Yi couldn't help but pat the soft head.
if.
If, on the first day she was with Ah Xu, she was able to be open and honest about her feelings and not run away from them...
Then she will have more memories of her time with Ah Xu.
What a pity.
Thinking of that man, Wen Yi felt a pang of heartache, regret, and guilt.
Wen hugged her even tighter.
Ruan Ruan was happy and simply climbed onto Wen Yi's body.
The newly arrived second wife was particularly close to Miss Ruan Ruan, which was a good thing. Some of the servants even took pictures with their phones and sent them to the second master.
Xiao Lan watched from the side, her face extremely ugly.
He cursed inwardly, "You heartless little beast."
I've taken care of her for so many years, but I've never seen her show any affection towards me. Now she's suddenly trying to please this new sister-in-law.
That's ridiculous.
Xiao Lan cursed inwardly, but with a smile on her face, she walked towards Wen Yi and Ruan Ruan.
"Ruanruan, after you finish eating, you need to go upstairs to study for your online classes. Don't bother your new sister-in-law, okay?" Xiao Lan came over and coaxed her.
Ruanruan looked up, truly reluctant to leave Wenyi's embrace.
She hesitated slightly, "Can I not go?"
She secretly glanced at Wen Yi, wanting to be with her new sister-in-law.
Xiao Lan persuaded, "Ruan Ruan, your new sister-in-law won't leave. We can finish our online classes and then find her to play together later. It won't delay anything."
"Yes, Ruanruan, after you finish your online classes, I'll take you to play by the sunflowers I planted, okay?"
"Really?" Ruan Ruan clapped her hands. "I've wanted to go for a long time, but... I didn't dare before."
The child immediately became discouraged.
"I'll take you out to play after you finish your class," Wen Yi promised.
Although Ruan Ruan was still reluctant, she obediently nodded, looked up at Xiao Lan, and raised her hand for a hug.
Xiao Lan stepped forward and hugged Ruan Ruan into her arms.
"Second Madam, I'll take Miss Ruan Ruan upstairs first," Xiao Lan said.
Wen nodded.
When Xiao Lan left the restaurant carrying Ruan Ruan, her face darkened, and she was seething with anger. Looking at the ungrateful little beast in her arms, she became even angrier.
Without making a sound, Xiao Lan reached out and pinched the soft, chubby leg hard.
The child felt the pain and immediately burst into tears.
"Try crying again!" Xiao Lan warned.
Ruan Ruan nestled in her arms, feeling wronged and afraid to cry out loud, only sobbing secretly. Xiao Lan, unable to vent her anger, pinched her hard twice more before she felt a little better.
Her soft, aching little hands clenched into fists, afraid to cry out.
Wen Yi heard Ruan Ruan crying in the restaurant. Without thinking much, she put down her chopsticks and came out, only to see Xiao Lan carrying Ruan Ruan upstairs.
The little girl nestled in Xiao Lan's arms, her shoulders trembling.
It looks like she's crying...
