After the Empress Dowager and Gu Heng sent people to visit Wen Nongnong, Wen Shiqing and others also learned about Wen Nongnong's fall from her horse and injury. They, along with Wen Tingyun and Lu Yingying, came to the Prince's Mansion to visit her.
"Why did you go riding a horse for no reason?" Wen Shiqing was both anxious and angry when he saw her feet, which were swollen like steamed buns.
"Of course it's because I want to learn to ride a horse." Seeing his anxious and angry look, Wen Nong Nong blinked and hugged his arm, acting coquettishly. "Father, don't worry. My foot looks swollen, but it doesn't hurt much. Physician Lin said that the swelling will go down in a couple of days. And I'm much better than yesterday."
Seeing that she was injured but was still comforting him, Wen Shiqing felt quite helpless. Moreover, looking at his daughter's delicate and soft appearance, he couldn't bring himself to say a word of scolding or reprimanding her.
"Don't do anything so foolish again. If you want to learn to ride a horse, make sure you have several people with you to protect you," he advised.
"I understand," Wen Nongnong replied obediently.
Seeing her like this, Wen Tingyun turned to Lu Yingying and said, "Can you finally rest assured now? She's so energetic, she doesn't look injured at all."
Lu Yingying's face flushed, and she said softly, "It's good that Nong Nong is alright."
Hearing their conversation, Wen Nongnong immediately understood. She let go of Wen Shiqing's hand, reached out to take Lu Yingying's hand, and said with a smile, "As expected, my sister-in-law loves me more." Then, she sighed and looked at Wen Tingyun, "My elder brother doesn't love me at all."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yingying hurriedly tried to speak up for Wen Tingyun, but he chuckled and said with a half-smile, "It doesn't matter if your elder brother doesn't care about you, there are other important people who will care about you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's lips curled up, and she said without any shame, "Big brother is right, the prince dotes on me too much."
Seeing that she showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and instead spoke so frankly in front of her father-in-law and husband, Lu Yingying couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Wen Tingyun chuckled and shook his head. "If that's the case, then we can rest assured."
“Of course it’s true.” Wen Nongnong said with a hint of pride, “The prince is so good to me. As soon as I injured my foot, he put aside his duties and took care of me personally. He even brought me tea and water. He’s so gentle…”
"Ahem!" Wen Shiqing suddenly coughed lightly.
"What's wrong, Father? Did you catch a cold?" Wen Nongnong asked with concern.
Before Wen Shiqing could speak, Wen Tingyun suddenly coughed.
Wen Nong Nong looked at him in surprise, "How come you caught a cold too, Big Brother?"
Wen Tingyun glanced at her helplessly, but had no choice but to turn around and bow, "Your subject greets the Regent."
"Your subject greets the Regent." Lu Yingying also bowed.
Just as Wen Shiqing was about to bow, Gu Linchao quickly took two steps over and gave him a slight helping hand.
“Father-in-law, there’s no need for such formalities.” He then said to Wen Tingyun and his wife, “No need for formalities.”
The three of them straightened up.
Wen Nongnong froze, then realized what was happening and hurriedly looked down at the cup on the table, pretending not to see Gu Linchao.
He probably didn't hear what she just said, right?
What a coincidence!
Every time she bragged, he would inevitably catch her.
Will he be unhappy?
Although he had been taking care of her these past two days, and she hadn't made anything up, wouldn't it make him lose face if she told others about it? For the regent to be so accommodating to her—wouldn't that sound bad if word got out?
It's all her fault. Provoked by Wen Tingyun's words, she couldn't help but want to show off, and as a result, the person in question overheard her.
Wen Nongnong was very embarrassed.
