Madam Wen said calmly, "Since you're back, please sit down. I have some good news to share."
Wen Nongnong asked curiously, "What happy event?" But she knew in her heart that if the old lady called it a happy event, it must be related to Wen Ruyi.
So, Wen Ruyi has won Gu Heng's favor?
Sure enough, the next moment, Madam Wen said with a smile, "I heard from Madam Chen that your third sister has now gained the Emperor's favor and has been directly granted the title of Jieyu." As she said this, she glared at Madam Xu.
Ms. Xu understood what she meant.
Since Madam Chen already knew the news, she should naturally know it too.
Indeed, she had heard about Wen Ruyi's promotion to the rank of Jieyu, but she did not think it was anything to celebrate, so she did not mention it to Madam Wen. Of course, she also admitted that she deliberately did not want Madam Wen to know.
When Wen Nongnong looked over, she saw that the corners of Old Madam Wen's mouth were turned up, which she could not suppress. Her eyes flashed for a moment, and she nodded and echoed, "That is indeed a happy event. No wonder Grandmother looks so energetic today, and seems to be several years younger. It is true that people are in high spirits when they have happy events. I really hope that Consort Liu can keep Grandmother so happy."
Madam Wen's smile froze on her face, and she frowned. "What Consort Liu? That's your third sister." She should be called Consort Wen.
Wen Nong Nong looked at her in surprise, "Grandmother didn't know?"
"What should I know?" Old Madam Wen was a little impatient. Seeing this granddaughter, her eyelids twitched, which meant something bad was going to happen.
"The name Liu Jieyu was bestowed by the Emperor himself. At the time, Liu Jieyu said in front of everyone that she did not know our Wen family, let alone remember you, Grandmother. So even if she is now granted the title of Jieyu, she will be called Liu Jieyu, not Wen Jieyu, and will have no connection with our Wen family whatsoever."
"But after all, my grandmother loved her dearly, so it's only right that she's happy for me to see me doing well now," Wen Nongnong said calmly.
The more Madam Wen listened, the more uncomfortable she became.
Wen Nongnong kept mentioning Liu Jieyu, as if she were talking about a complete stranger who had nothing to do with them.
The joy she felt when she mentioned Wen Ruyi just now seemed like a joke.
“She has amnesia and doesn’t remember, but she is still a member of our Wen family,” Old Madam Wen said, frowning, unwilling to give up.
“That’s what Grandmother thinks, not what Liu Jieyu thinks,” Wen Nongnong said calmly.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Old Madam Wen was furious and embarrassed. What did she mean by "she thinks" instead of "Liu Jieyu thinks"? She was making it sound like Liu Jieyu didn't know her, yet she was trying to establish a connection with Liu Jieyu. What kind of nonsense was this?
Wen Nongnong hurriedly said, "Grandmother, please calm down. I know you may find it hard to accept right now, but in fact, Third Sister is Third Sister, and Consort Liu is Consort Liu. She has already said in front of everyone that she doesn't recognize our Wen family anymore. If you continue to cling to her, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate..." Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
Madam Wen's chest heaved with anger.
After a long pause, she finally said, her lips trembling, "Don't try to sow discord. I don't believe Ruyi is such an ungrateful person..."
“A person who forgets their roots is clearly selfish and self-serving,” Wen Nongnong interjected, then added, “I don’t believe that Third Sister would be the kind of selfish and self-serving person who forgets her roots.”
But why did she immediately try to distance herself from us, even though my grandmother and I treated her so well? I'm so heartbroken..." she said, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, looking extremely distressed.
