The aunt next door noticed that Wen Yi didn't respond and found it strange. "Your grandparents have been taken away. You're not the only one who doesn't know, are you?"
My aunt has a bit of a gossipy streak.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows that the Wen family's daughter and son-in-law went to Haicheng to do business a long time ago, eventually making a fortune and joining the upper class.
However, Wen's second daughter is very famous. She was raised to be very outstanding and has a great reputation in Haicheng. Now she is a big star.
On the contrary, the eldest daughter of the Wen family is not only of average talent, but also frequently causes trouble for the family. Previously, out of jealousy towards her younger sister, she ruined her sister's excellent marriage.
What a menace!
The aunt's expression wasn't very friendly when she saw that Wen Yi didn't respond. She couldn't help but say, "Wen Yi, there are some things that I'm afraid I'll have no one to confide in if I don't say them."
Wen frowned.
The aunt said, "A person needs to accept their ordinariness. Ordinary people have their own kind of luck. Don't be jealous of outstanding people and do wrong things; in the end, it will only harm yourself and others. Be down-to-earth and don't covet what doesn't belong to you, understand?"
Wen Yi was indifferent to these words.
It's been like this since I was a child.
She is ordinary, while Wen Ge is outstanding.
She's trash, Wen Ge is a treasure.
She would say this kind of thing to anyone or anything in front of her.
I was quite sad at first, but now I'm indifferent.
"Don't be angry or think that what your aunt said was unpleasant. But you have to understand that people may say nice things because of your family. But the unpleasant things always need to be said, and people always need to remind you."
"Thank you, Auntie," Wen Yi said. "However, since it's always good to be reminded of what's unpleasant, I'd also like to remind you to keep a close eye on Xia Xiaomeng. Otherwise, Haicheng is a city where people can easily lose themselves, and it wouldn't be good if she did something she couldn't turn back from."
"What do you mean by that?" Auntie's voice suddenly became sharp. "I was just trying to remind you not to ruin the family's happiness because you're jealous of your sister's mistakes. You not only don't appreciate my kindness, but you also slander my Xia Xiaomeng. What are you up to?"
The aunt grabbed a flowerpot from the side and smashed it against Wen Yi.
Wen Yi dodged the question, saying, "Didn't Auntie just say that unpleasant words need to be pointed out? I was just following Auntie's example and told the truth. How come it's me who's bad in Auntie's eyes?"
Many people passing by were pointing and whispering.
Xia Xiaomeng's mother was furious. She cursed a few times and went back into her room, slamming the door shut.
Wen Yi ignored him and went back inside to check again.
Many of my grandparents' everyday items were taken away, including a large jar of cod liver oil that my grandmother used to take all year round.
Generally, grandparents will bring small bottles when they go out, and they won't bring a large bottle unless they plan to go away for a year or two.
But there was no news from the Wen family.
Wen Yi became increasingly anxious as she looked at the screen, and called the Wen family's butler.
“Miss, the old gentleman and lady did not come to the house.” The butler was also quite helpless with Wen Yi.
"I was asking if my parents had come home yet."
"Yes, yes, the master and mistress just arrived home."
"I see."
Wen Yi hung up the phone and walked out of the house.
The driver came to remind her, "Second Madam, there's a call from the Imperial Garden; they want me to take you back."
"Take me to the Wen family first," Wen Yi insisted.
Even if the sky were to fall, nothing would be as important as her maternal grandparents.
Of the four elders who raised Wenyi, two have now passed away, leaving only her maternal grandparents. It feels like the sky has fallen, but Wenyi still needs to make sure her maternal grandparents are safe and sound.
Wen Yi locked the door to her grandparents' house and, before getting into the car, repeated to the driver, "To Wen's house."
Although the driver was in a difficult position, he still listened to Wen Yi's advice.
After all, Xiao Lan's incident had a strong deterrent effect on all the servants in the Imperial Garden. This second madam was different from the other two; her words carried weight.
The car arrived at the Wen family's residence.
Wen stepped in again.
"Sir, Madam, Miss is back."
As soon as Wen Yi stepped into the living room, the maid reported to the dining room.
Wen's parents had just returned from outside, looking exhausted. They were having a meal in the dining room, and the atmosphere was heavy. When they heard the maid report that Wen Yi had returned, both of them showed strange expressions.
Wen's mother stood up instinctively, and Wen's father quickly grabbed her hand.
"Remember, she can't know about this for now," Mr. Wen reminded him.
Wen's mother had a very serious expression.
Mr. Wen said again, "Have you forgotten what Wen Ge said earlier? She has to perform well in the new drama and gain fame before she can reconcile with the Gu family. Before that, Wen Yi must be her assistant and not make any mistakes that could affect Wen Ge's future marriage with Young Master Gu."
Wen's mother nodded knowingly, "I know what to do."
When Wen Yi pushed open the door, she bumped into her mother responding to her father. She immediately frowned, pondering the meaning of her mother's words.
"What are you doing?" Wen's mother scolded Wen Yi. "You're such a grown man, yet you act so recklessly. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Where are your maternal grandparents?" Wen Yi ignored her mother's accusations and went straight to the point.
"What grandparents? Are we talking about the same thing?" Mother Wen continued to lecture. "It was one thing to be unruly before, but now that you're married, you're still so unruly. Are you destined to never learn manners? Wen Yi, can't you learn from Wen Ge properly, even if you only learn a little bit, I'll feel a little comforted."
"I'm asking about your maternal grandparents?" Wen Yi stepped forward, pressing him aggressively.
'smack'
Mr. Wen slammed his fist on the table and stood up, demanding, "What kind of attitude is this?"
Wen's mother turned around to comfort Wen's father.
"Wen Yi, don't make your dad angry anymore."
"Angry? What's there to be angry about?" Wen Yi suddenly laughed. "Are you angry because I don't know manners? But what have you ever told me? I grew up in my hometown. Later you brought me to live with you, but only to make it easier to take care of my younger siblings. My only use to you was to let me marry into the Royal Garden in place of Wen Ge. Now I'm married, and my household registration is in the Royal Garden. What are you talking to me about manners and education?"
Wen has been living life to the fullest since early on.
Why can't we speak ill of our parents?
Why is it always the children who are at fault?
On what grounds?
"You, you..." Father Wen pointed at Wen Yi, furious. "Are you trying to rebel?!"
"I'm here to ask you where my grandparents are. Just tell me and I'll disappear immediately," Wen Yi said.
Wen's father pointed at Wen Yi, making him so angry that he had a headache and could not stand steadily.
Wen's mother quickly helped Wen's father up, "Are you alright?"
She quickly asked Mr. Wen to sit down. "Housekeeper, hurry, go and call Dr. Liang over, quick!"
