"She certainly had some luck, but she also relied on unorthodox methods," Wen Nongnong said calmly. She had to admit that Wen Ruyi was very adaptable and knew how to seize opportunities.
But she was too ruthless in her pursuit of her goals.
She first rescued Gu Heng outside the villa, and then was taken back to the palace.
Unexpectedly, even though Gu Heng had been swayed by her and ignored her, she still managed to turn the tables.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Ruyi was indeed blessed with good fortune, which is why things went so smoothly.
However, Wen Ruyi is the female lead in the original book, and her female lead aura is no joke.
Therefore, she never dared to relax her vigilance towards Wen Ruyi.
"We can't control how she won favor, as long as she doesn't turn around and bite us back," Madam Xu said.
Lu Yingying frowned. "Yes, but I'm afraid Grandmother won't give up easily." The old lady was overjoyed when Wen Ruyi was conferred the title of Jieyu. It was only because Nong Nong poured cold water on her joy that she was so proud of herself.
Wen Nongnong felt relieved to see that Madam Xu and Lu Yingying had the same idea as her; it was good that they had this sense of crisis.
After thinking for a moment, she took their hands and reminded them, "Although Wen Ruyi is currently favored, she has only recently become a Jieyu. She is very ambitious and will not stop there. If she wants to reach a higher position, she will inevitably need to rely on external forces. At that time, she may think of our Wen family. You two should keep a close eye on Grandmother and prevent her from having any contact with Wen Ruyi."
Neither of them were fools; upon hearing her words, they understood her meaning and both felt a chill run down their spines.
Now Wen Ruyi is using amnesia as an excuse to distance herself from the Wen family, but when she needs their help, she will surely "remember" everything.
When the time comes, as long as she comes back and cries, the old lady will soften her heart and will definitely ask the Duke and the heir to help her.
Wen Ruyi is wicked and malicious. If the Wen family gets involved with her, who knows what kind of disaster it will bring in the future.
"Don't worry, we'll be careful," Mrs. Xu said.
Lu Yingying nodded in agreement, "We will keep an eye on Grandma."
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong was still a little uneasy, mainly because Wen Tingyun was unreliable last time, which led to the situation developing to this point.
I'm afraid that Madam Xu and Lu Yingying won't take it seriously, and that a moment of carelessness could lead to the old lady and Wen Ruyi getting involved in some kind of relationship again.
But she couldn't say anything right now.
After sitting for a while longer, Wen Tingyun still hadn't returned, so Wen Nongnong decided to go back to her residence first.
"Mother, please have my second brother come to the Prince's Mansion to see me tomorrow."
“I don’t know what your second brother has been busy with lately, leaving early and coming home late. I hardly ever see him. But I’ll tell him when he gets back,” Madam Xu said.
"Alright, then I'll head back now. Sister-in-law, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. Don't worry about those things; let your mother handle it." Wen Nongnong thought of Lu Yingying's pregnancy and was afraid that she would overthink things and affect the baby in her womb, so she couldn't help but give her this advice before leaving.
"I know, don't worry." Lu Yingying nodded gently.
Looking at her daughter's sensible manner, Mrs. Xu felt both gratified and amused. "You little rascal, you're starting to look more and more like an adult."
"When did I stop acting like an adult?" Wen Nongnong stuck out her tongue.
The affection in Madam Xu's eyes seemed to overflow, and she said with a smile, "Alright, let's go."
Wen Nongnong didn't delay any longer and got into the carriage.
