I couldn't get up from the bed, feeling completely hopeless.
She wouldn't even want to live without the child.
But there was no other way. He had to drag his sick body and kneel in front of the old lady, crying and admitting his mistake.
"Mother, although I did something wrong with Liu, I have no regrets! I really hate her so much! If Feng and his brother knew about it and followed suit, then our Wen family would be finished!"
Old Lady Wen looked at the thinner Wu, and knew that she was right. However, her recent behavior was not only useless, but also caused trouble.
So, without asking her to get up, he discussed the matter with her again.
Especially her question about Wen Yu: "If you have any doubts in your heart, it's okay to investigate. If you know the news, tell me and I will handle it. But you are planning to use this matter to ruin Wen Yu's reputation. What is your purpose?
Let her not marry into the Qi family? But don’t you think about what good this will do you? If she can’t marry, not only will Wen Jiao not be able to take her place, but her reputation will also be affected! "
Wu's legs were in great pain, so she could only nod her head: "I understand, these days... I have been made angry by Jiao'er."
"So, it's you who didn't teach your daughter well! She's also facing marriage, but why is she so temperamental? Look at what Wen Yu has been doing recently? With what she has done, she won't suffer any loss even if she enters the Qi family!
But what about Jiao'er? With her foolish appearance, if she really enters a family like the Qi family, wouldn't that be a trap for her?"
Mrs. Wu was not stupid and had some abilities, but the old lady never restrained her and she was used to having the final say.
Although she was the beneficiary of Wen Qian's promotion, she still felt uncomfortable when she compared the situation. Wen Yu was a bit of a prick because she also suffered a loss. That's why she was so persistent...
"You are so confused? How are you going to deal with Yuan Shi when you go to the capital?"
Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Wen.
"Yuan is already in charge there. Your eldest brother wrote to say that she took Wen Huan out for a walk and was also doing very well. What did you do there? Eat a free meal? When a guest came or went out, did Yuan have to come to call you? If she didn't call you, would you stay in the room?!"
Mrs. Wu whispered, "I have thought about this. My husband cannot compare to my elder brother. If my elder sister-in-law has an imperial title, she will be more respectable in social activities than me. She went to the capital to manage the family a long time ago, so it is really difficult for me to compete with her. I just thought that I have served my mother for many years, and I know your habits best. When the time comes, you will make the decision and find a place for me..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wen felt better.
"I don't expect anything else. I hope my husband and Feng Ge'er can find a job, Jiao'er can find a good marriage, and the other two are still young. They should settle down in the capital first before making plans."
"Don't you understand this? Why are you so confused sometimes? Wen Jiao, I love her the most among the girls in my family! If the Qi family is interested in her, I would be so happy. But they don't! How can you still go along with her? Recently, you should teach her a lesson. Beijing is not like Jiangzhou. When you go out for social events, they are all ruthless people. If she gets into trouble, your eldest brother can't cover it up!"
"Yes, my wife knows."
"Get up! Call the second one."
Wen Feng came and looked at Wu with a sour face.
The old lady persuaded him earnestly for a long time, and finally said: "If you want to achieve something in the capital, you have to be restrained. Otherwise, you can stay in your hometown. There is no shortage of money at home, and you can live a happy life here! No one will care about you!"
Of course Wen Feng wanted to go to the capital, so he agreed and said that he would be careful in his actions and behavior.
"Your wife, if you hadn't done such an extreme thing, how could she be like this? What will happen to you if you live in a different place? Your children are married and will soon become grandparents. What else can you do? Just live a down-to-earth life!"
Mrs. Wu straightened her clothes and apologized to Wen Feng.
Wen Feng also said a few words to apologize for his action.
The storm has passed.
…
Wen Yu didn't go back to her room when she got home, but went directly to Wen Jiao's room.
Wen Jiao had a fever and looked bored.
"Third sister!?" Wen Yu came in with a smile, "Zhu Zhu's three-strand noodles are delicious. I'll bring you some!"
Wen Yu sat down, "Third sister. Why do you treat your eldest sister like this?"
"I don't want to talk to you!"
"Wen Jiao." Wen Yu's smile faded. "Is this family not as respectable as you think? Is it dirty and filthy in private?"
"This is your home too!" Wen Jiao screamed, "How clean do you think you can be? If the Qi family finds out, they will be the first to abandon you!"
"No. Madam Qi likes me." She said gently.
"shameless!"
"Wen Jiao, I'm telling you the truth! Among all the sisters in my family, I will marry the best one. No matter what, you can't compare to her!"
"Ugh!" Wen Jiao acted as if she was disgusted.
"With your cunningness, beauty, talent, and parents... your marriage will not even be as good as Wen Huan's!"
"Bah! Who wants to compete with you?"
"Oh, I am a person who loves to compete. My marriage can be said to be a coincidence, or it can be said to be God's mercy and compensation to me. From a worldly perspective, I am indeed marrying above my station! But Wen Huan will never have such luck.
The last time they came back, I heard that someone was trying to match them up with the eldest son of Li Ge’s family.”
Is this true? Wen Jiao sat up and became serious.
"Although the Li family is not bad, it can't compare with Master Qi Wu. However, when talking about this marriage, the eldest wife was still very happy! This shows that for Wen Huan, it is a good marriage."
Wen Yu explained calmly. "If she decides, it will be your turn. Think about it carefully, what do you have? In terms of looks and talent, even Wen Huan can't compare to you. Parents are even worse than you. The only thing you have is that your grandmother loves you the most! This alone won't bring you a good marriage!"
"Hmph! It's none of your business!" Wen Jiao had been listening attentively and didn't even think of interrupting her. Now her tone softened.
"Of course I won't care! Wen Huan has a first wife, and these days, she may be doing very well in the capital. You have a second wife, but look at what she has become.
"But you don't know anything. You're not even as smart as Wen Wan! Look at how close Wen Wan has been to me recently? I was planning to invite her to my home when I get married, and she'll have more connections. But you only know how to bully me... You're really stupid!"
"Humph! Just because I treat you well, you can help me?! Don't treat me as a fool! At worst, I won't go to the capital!"
"Eh? Third sister, this is a good idea. I remember Miss Zhao's brother's name was something like that... He liked you very much. No, you should stay here!"
At this moment, Wen Jiao was frightened, "Wen Yu, don't talk nonsense! I only know Zhao Ruoxin in the Zhao family."
"Well, whatever you want! Having said that, I have to go out and do something."
Wen Jiao looked at Wen Yu's back with hatred: I want to go to the capital, and marry someone better than you...
...Even if I can't beat you, I'm still better than Wen Huan!
Who is Wen Huan? She is just like her mother, pretending!
If I can't mess with yours, why can't I mess with hers?!
Looking at what Wen Yu brought, "It's worth taking just a bowl of noodles. This petty person is really too much..."
But the smell was quite fragrant, and I took a bite and it was delicious.
Humph! I ate your food and gathered enough strength to scold you again...
So, he ate it up one bite at a time.
