“Mrs. Gu will not only learn about me from Wen Ge, but also from Gu Zeyu, my parents, and anyone else who is even remotely connected to me,” Wen Yi said calmly.
"Why?" Xiao Kongkong blurted out, "When I went back to the beginning, Gu Zeyu wanted to choose one of the two Wen sisters, but now that you've married into Yutingyuan, this Mrs. Gu should know Wen Ge, not you."
Because of Gu Huaixu.
Because Madam Gu might know about the relationship between Gu Huaixu and her.
As a mother, she definitely wanted to find out who killed her child. Gu Zeyu even risked offending the Imperial Garden and came to snatch Wen Yi away on the day she was to marry into the Imperial Garden.
All signs indicate that Madam Gu will try to learn more about Wen Yi.
Xiao Kongkong did not continue to communicate with Wen Yi, as she already understood what kind of person Wen Yi was.
Wen Yi is very smart, even very observant, and sees everything very clearly. However, she may not be very talkative and is too lazy to care about some things, so she seems to know nothing.
In fact, it's the complete opposite.
"Looking at it this way, Miss Wen and Young Master Gu look very well-matched sitting together."
Someone started something during the banquet.
Immediately, everyone's attention shifted to Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu, and they began to discuss it.
“I remember that the Gu family and the Wen family had a marriage agreement. Now that Miss Wen has married, it is only natural that Miss Wen will marry into the Gu family.”
"Mrs. Wen, your good fortune is truly enviable."
"That's right. Looking at Wen Ge sitting together with Young Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, they really look like a family."
"Madam Wen, your eldest daughter has already been engaged. When will the good news about your second daughter come out?" Someone threw this question directly at Madam Wen.
Mrs. Wen immediately smiled and waved her hand, "What are you saying? Let the children decide their own affairs. We as parents can't keep pressuring them, don't you think, Mrs. Gu?"
When Wen's mother brought up the topic with Madam Gu, she was still quite nervous.
While Wen's mother seemed to be denying the relationship between Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu, her words implied that their relationship was already established and it was just a matter of time before it was officially announced.
If Madam Gu answers yes to this question from Madam Wen, then it means she has tacitly agreed and the matter has been completely settled.
If she said no, given Madam Gu's personality, it would make Wen's mother lose face. Moreover, it was Madam Gu herself who asked Wen Ge to sit next to her. If she said no, it wouldn't just be a slap in the face to Wen's mother, but a slap in her own face as well.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Madam Gu's answer, hoping for a double blessing.
But Wen Yi refused.
Before Madam Gu could speak, she suddenly said, "Mom, Wen Ge just said she likes our third son. We need to give Wen Ge time to choose."
Wen Yi's words were so abrupt that Wen's mother almost lost her composure and her face darkened on the spot.
Wen Yi's words ruined the opportunity that Wen's mother had been waiting for to confirm her relationship with the Gu family, and instantly pushed Wen Ge to the forefront, suggesting that she was not firmly committed to Gu Zeyu.
Besides Gu Zeyu, Wen Ge had other candidates. However, this candidate was someone Wen Ge had only met once before expressing interest, clearly pushing Wen Ge into a fickle and opportunistic state that no one would like.
Wen's mother glared at Wen Yi fiercely.
Wen Ge smiled and smoothed things over with Wen Yi, "Sister, you're still so serious, always taking my jokes as truth."
"It was just a joke," Wen's mother immediately chimed in, trying to smooth things over.
Having missed an opportunity to solidify her relationship with the Gu family, Wen's mother couldn't say anything more and could only host the banquet and get to the point.
Seeing that Lao San's face had darkened considerably, Wen Yi knew that if he let Lao San stay any longer, even if things went smoothly until the end, Wen Yi's life in the Imperial Garden would not be easy in the future.
"Third brother, why don't you go first? I'll see you off," Wen Yi said.
The third brother stared coldly at Wen Yi, his gaze devoid of gratitude; he simply wanted Wen Yi to hurry up so he could leave immediately.
Wen got up and told his parents that he needed to send the third son out, as he had some things to take care of.
Wen's parents were very dissatisfied with Wen Yi's behavior today, feeling that Wen Yi was being sarcastic. In their eyes, Wen Yi was now a vicious female supporting character who was dedicated to ruining the good things that the kind and strong female lead, Wen Ge, was doing.
Wen Yi naturally didn't give him a friendly look.
However, it was the Third Master of Yutingyuan who was leaving, an important figure. Wen's mother offered to see him off, but Wen Yi refused.
"I'll see you to the door and then come back," Wen Yi added after speaking. "The third brother has a rather eccentric personality, so..."
"Alright, alright, remember to come back after you've seen me to the door. Today is your homecoming banquet. I don't care what you do, you and that maid you brought must stay until the end," Madam Wen ordered.
Wen nodded. "I know, Mom."
Wen's mother waved her hand, somewhat impatiently telling Wen Yi to leave quickly.
Wen turned around and left with Lao San.
"Your place is quite a mess."
The third brother, who had just gotten on the motorcycle, offered a heartfelt remark, put on his helmet, and sped away.
Wen stood there, watching as Lao San's car completely disappeared down the road.
A faint, bitter smile played at the corners of his lips.
Is it a chaotic and polluted place?
But this was the home Wen Yi had always dreamed of, the home she longed to have a place in, a home where she could be recognized.
Wen Yi recalled her behavior at the banquet and realized that she was just like a vicious female supporting character who was always picking fights.
But Wenyi had no choice but to do so.
If she doesn't do this, her parents won't realize her sharp edges.
Wen Yi took a deep breath, composed herself, and returned to the Wen family home.
Before Wen Yi even headed towards the main banquet hall, she passed through the garden and was greeted by Wen Ge, who called out to her, "Sister."
Wen Ge sat on a chair by the garden. "Mom is inside negotiating with some ladies. It wasn't appropriate for my sister to go in at that time. Would you like to come over and have a chat?"
Wen Yi did not refuse, walked over to Wen Ge, and sat down in the seat opposite Wen Ge.
Wen Ge sat elegantly, with a polite and proper smile on her face. At this moment, she kept staring at Wen Yi without taking the initiative to say anything.
Wen Yi's expression remained calm, her heart showing no turmoil.
Wen Ge didn't speak, and Wen Yi was too lazy to say anything either.
After observing for a while, Wen Ge concluded, "My sister has changed so much compared to before."
Wen Yi calmly raised her eyes to look at Wen Ge.
Wen Ge's smile remained unchanged. She said, "My sister has changed so much that I feel like I don't even recognize her anymore."
“It’s not that the change is drastic,” Wen Yi reminded her. “I’ve always been like this.”
It's just that nobody cared before.
