The more Madam Wen listened, the uglier her expression became. Her lips moved as if she wanted to scold someone, but she couldn't utter a single word.
The brat was clearly implying that Ruyi was ungrateful and selfish, but she didn't directly say that Ruyi was that kind of person. She even said she didn't believe it and put on this act of sisterly affection.
For a moment, Madam Wen's face turned a deep liver color.
Today, she was overjoyed to learn from Madam Chen that Wen Ruyi had been promoted to the rank of Jieyu. She finally felt a sense of pride and satisfaction, because it proved that she had not misjudged Ruyi. That girl Ruyi was indeed capable.
After all, she had been promoted from a low-ranking official to a high-ranking concubine in a short period of time. If this trend continued, Ruyi would surely be able to sit in an even higher position in the future.
A faint hope flickered in her heart.
If one day Ruyi sits in that position, the world will surely praise her for raising such a good girl.
Just then, the three Xu women arrived. She had intended to show off in front of them, but instead, she failed to do so. Her old face was still burning with embarrassment, and she became a laughing stock.
Although Madam Chen often came to talk to her, she was still considered an outsider.
Wen Nongnong brought up these things in front of outsiders, making her lose face and making her even more resentful of this brat.
Mrs. Chen's eyes flickered, and she sat there somewhat awkwardly.
Just now, after hearing the news she brought, Old Madam Wen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. But now, because of Wen Nongnong's few words, she immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
She had never heard of Wen Nongnong before; she was surprisingly quick-witted.
She was about to look her over when she was met with a gaze from the other woman.
Those eyes were truly beautiful, but when they suddenly looked over like that, it seemed as if they were hiding something sharp.
Madam Chen seemed to have been stabbed somewhere, her buttocks felt like they were on fire, and she could no longer sit still.
He hurriedly got up to take his leave, saying, "I have bothered you for quite a while today. I will come to talk to the old lady another day."
Madam Wen was in no mood to entertain her anymore, so she nodded and said, "Alright." She paused, glared at the three women, and then sighed dramatically, "Only you don't mind this old woman and are willing to talk to me."
Saying this in front of Madam Xu and the others made Madam Chen even more embarrassed. Not knowing how to respond, she hurriedly said something to Madam Xu and the others, and then walked out without stopping.
Wen Nong Nong glanced at Lü Qiao.
Lu Qiao understood and quietly chased after him.
After leaving Madam Wen's Fu'an Hall, Madam Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had known Wen Nongnong would return to the manor today, she wouldn't have chosen to come today.
Although Wen Nongnong was young, every word she uttered struck a chord with Old Madam Wen. Old Madam Wen, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, was rendered speechless by her words and could only sit there sulking.
That girl, Wen Nongnong, is truly remarkable.
She was thinking to herself when suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around and saw a girl in a green dress walking towards her.
She recognized her; this girl was the maid who served Wen Nongnong.
“Mrs. Chen.” Greenie walked forward with a smile.
Madam Chen was taken aback. "Miss, what is this...?"
Green smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just came here on the orders of my princess to say a few words to you, Madam."
Madam Chen was startled, and her smile almost faltered. "Then what does Your Highness have to say..."
