But my son loves me so much! Now, I have given birth to three beautiful children.
There is really no other way! She should go through the formalities and give the respect she deserves. Old Mrs. Wen cannot be vague. After Yuan greeted her, she also responded gently.
Both of them were smiling and speaking in soft tones, showing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be very harmonious.
Wen Yu knew that it was her turn to go on stage.
She lifted her skirt and walked to the front.
When the excitement died down a bit, she stood in front of Wen Qian and Yuan Shi, kneeling down and greeting: "Wen Yu, greetings to father and madam."
Wen Qian finally saw his eldest daughter.
When she lowered her head, she saw a head of thick black hair. When she raised her head, she saw a small white face.
Two very beautiful long eyebrows, a pair of cold eyes. The eyes are slightly narrowed, and the eyelashes cover half of them, so it is difficult to see the expression clearly.
Very thin.
The kneeling posture, expression and tone of voice... so generous and dignified.
But there was no sickly sweet smile or obvious admiration on his face, and he looked neither close nor distant.
Ah, she has grown into a well-behaved, well-educated girl! Wen Qian's heart beat a little faster. It's true. If he didn't go home and see her, he would never have remembered that he had such a daughter.
But... didn't she always call Xijun "mother" before? Ignoring the doubt in her heart, she hummed coldly.
After Yuan Xijun carefully looked at Wen Yu, her eyes narrowed in surprise! But she immediately smiled and said, "It's Yu'er, get up quickly!"
Wen Yu didn't say anything else, she stood up quickly, moved to the side and stood down.
Yuan was quite stunned when he carefully observed her movements and demeanor.
What about that yellow-haired girl who was wearing fancy clothes and had a shallow smile on her face? Then he quickly glanced at his own daughter... secretly comparing them.
I saw my daughter staring at the elder sister, her face tense and her lips pursed. There was disgust, dissatisfaction, competition, and anger in her eyes...
Yuan quickly glanced at her husband again...and saw that he was also looking at his eldest daughter silently with obvious surprise...for longer than usual, and paying attention.
A sour feeling welled up in her heart. "My dear, I haven't seen Yu'er for more than two years. She has grown a lot taller! She has become a big girl!"
Wen Qian nodded and said nothing.
Wen Huan carefully examined her "elder sister" and felt sour, hateful, and painful. Suddenly, she said in a coquettish voice, "Yes, Daddy! It's been more than two years, a long time! Big sister has indeed grown a lot taller! If I wasn't at home, I wouldn't have recognized her!"
After saying that, she walked up to Wen Yu with a smile and reached out to pull her.
Wen Yu didn't move and let Wen Huan pull her hand.
"When I see my big sister, I just want to get closer to her!" Wen Huan wanted to pinch her hard, and luckily, she had long nails!
But before she could make a move, Wen Yu smiled, turned around and took Wen Huan's hand, looking her up and down: "Grandma, it's really strange! Ever since she was little, my granddaughter has not been able to catch up with my second sister in height! At that time, the general's wife had not moved away with the general, and she and Pingting would always confuse me and my second sister to see who is the older sister! In the past six months, my granddaughter has grown a lot in height! I thought she would be taller than my second sister! But I didn't expect... she still hasn't caught up."
Wen Yu smiled indifferently and narrowed her eyes. "It seems that who is the older sister and who is the younger sister between us? We will always be misunderstood!"
After saying this, she looked around at everyone with a slightly mischievous look.
But he clearly felt Wen Huan's hand tremble, and his little face turned pale.
Old Mrs. Wen's face also froze, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yuan's originally white jade-like face suddenly turned red.
"Wen Yu! What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Qian was shocked and blurted out angry words.
"Ah?! Father?" Wen Yu was obviously frightened and immediately let go of Wen Huan's hand. She looked at her father, grandmother, and everyone else in confusion.
That means: What did I say wrong? Mrs. Wen frowned and looked at her eldest son.
"Still so out of tune!" Wen Qian's eyes were filled with hostility and anger was obvious.
Oh! I finally got promoted! Look at this full of majesty! Wen Yu secretly mocked in her heart...
However, the master who had just returned home was so angry that he was so sudden and strange that no one understood and they just looked at each other...
Jiao Jieer even pulled Wu and asked silently: "What's the matter?!"
Mrs. Wu was also puzzled, but she didn't say anything and just shook her head slightly.
"Alright, alright!" Old Madam Wen tried to smooth things over. "Wen Yu, I haven't seen your father for two years. Why are you here to make him angry?! Big Boss, you two should go back to your room and wash up. I'll talk to you later."
Yuan's face regained its composure, and she was secretly happy: No matter what time, her husband is always on her side! ...
Wen Qian and his family retreated.
The people in the room looked at Wen Yu as if she were watching a circus.
Wen Yu looked at her father's back, her grandmother, and everyone else, with a confused expression on her face.
The old lady felt strange again, but she couldn't tell why. She glanced at Wen Yu gloomily.
"Come on, all of you go down."
Wen Yu returned to her own yard. I will test the waters first to see how all parties react...
Thinking back carefully: It seems that the old lady was indeed an insider about that incident. Second uncle had no expression, and it was hard to tell, but Second aunt... didn't seem to know.
But Wen Huan's behavior was a little strange. Did she know it now?
But this is not a glorious thing. Why should my father and Yuan tell her?
In the previous life, Wen Huan had a good marriage, but she was still dissatisfied and participated in the fight between the princes, and took the initiative to offer a plan to seize the Song family property. Including her words in prison... I'm afraid she is very concerned about her "illegitimate" daughter's background? Thinking about this "father" again, Wen Yu felt a little sad for him.
Grandfather didn't care about gains and losses in order to compete with grandmother. He really didn't treat this eldest son very well! Therefore, it was not easy for him to study, take exams, pass the imperial examinations, and become an official! Everything he got with great effort, but for a bitch like Yuan, he took such a big risk and even stained his hands with the blood of his original wife...
What a crazy and infatuated person! Haha, let's see if you will ever regret it!
Don't worry, I will use everything I have in my life to make that day come to you!
I wonder what your expression will be when that time comes... Wen Yu became happy, humming a little tune with light steps.
And the red apricot following behind her kept rolling her eyes! As soon as the master came home, the girl offended him. This is really inexplicable! I didn't get any reward at all... Is it ruined now?
Well... although the eldest master and the eldest mistress haven't returned for more than two years, Madam Xu, who is by the mistress's side, has sent things back a few times. Every time, she would come to ask me questions alone, and would secretly give me rewards... If they ask me to go again this time... what should I say or not say to get more things? ...
Wen Qian, on the other hand, brought his wife and children back to the courtyard, and his originally happy mood faded a little.
But he did not stop. After sending Yuan back to the house, he went to the study room in the front to talk to the housekeeper and his second brother about the things happening outside.
Yuan was packing his belongings.
Aunt Xu beside her asked, "Madam, the eldest girl seems to be a little different today. Do you want to go and ask Hong Xing?"
Yuan was doing the work herself. Her movements were very elegant and her expression was very gentle, but her voice was cold: "Ask, of course you have to ask! But not now. You have to stay at home for a few days! Let's see the situation first. Since she is different, let's not always use the old method."
"Yes, ma'am, that's very thoughtful."
"Think about it too. Don't let Hong Xingguang stare at you. You have to do something when the time is right. Some things... need to be prepared in advance. It doesn't matter if you don't need them, just don't be at a loss when you need them!"
"...Yes, I understand!" Madam Xu was stunned and understood what she meant.
Thank you all for collecting and commenting.
