Wen Ruyi's forced composure nearly crumbled. Without even looking, she knew that everyone present was giving her strange looks.
Thinking of this, her face turned pale, and she shook her head frantically, "What nonsense are you talking about? I really don't know you, please don't hurt me..."
Wen Nongnong pouted, "It's truly heartbreaking to see Third Sister like this. Besides, Third Sister knows best who harmed whom back then. Fine, since Third Sister doesn't want to talk about the past, then I won't. But Third Sister, please don't disown us. Grandmother loves you so much; if she knew you were like this, she would be utterly disappointed in you. Even a dog wouldn't be this heartless..."
"You, you..." Wen Ruyi felt a metallic taste in her throat, trembling with anger. She swayed precariously, her face pale, whether from anger or shock at her words, it was hard to tell.
Upon seeing this, Gu Heng's expression darkened slightly. "Imperial Aunt!"
Wen Nongnong blinked and asked, "Is the Emperor calling me?"
Xiao Yan, who was not far away, couldn't help but chuckle.
This nephew's wife is getting more and more interesting.
If the Emperor wasn't calling her, who else could he be calling?
A barely perceptible smile flickered in Gu Linchao's eyes.
Gu Heng's face darkened. "Hmm."
"Oh, is there something you need, Your Majesty?" Wen Nongnong asked.
Gu Heng said unhappily, "Liu'er has amnesia. She doesn't remember anything from before. Aunt, please don't bring up the past to upset her anymore..."
“I know,” Wen Nongnong quickly replied. “Before she was sent to the estate, she claimed to have amnesia and not remember anything from before. Why? The Emperor is so wise, he must know.”
That's quite a compliment...
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Xiao Yan would definitely have applauded her.
Wen Tingyun looked at Wen Tingyun beside him, his eyes full of confusion. What had happened while he was away? Why did his younger sister seem like a completely different person now?
Not only was she quick-witted, but she was also able to remain composed and dignified when facing the emperor.
Gu Heng frowned. "I don't quite understand what you're saying, Aunt. Amnesia is amnesia, what else could it be?"
Wen Nongnong glanced at him.
She said he was brilliant and must have understood, but he said he didn't understand. Doesn't that mean he's not brilliant?
Xiao Yan pulled his face hard to stop himself from laughing out loud.
How come he never noticed before that Gu Heng was so clueless?
"Naturally, it's to escape punishment," Wen Nongnong sighed. "My third sister made a very serious mistake. If she hadn't lost her memory in time, she would probably be in jail by now. But then again, my third sister is really smart."
My grandmother said that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. My third sister is just an ordinary person, and it's understandable that she would make mistakes. Although I don't agree with this statement, because mistakes vary in severity, if we follow her logic, there would be no criminals in the world, and the laws of the country would be meaningless, which would only encourage crime.
Personally, I believe that the mistakes Third Sister made should not be forgiven. However, since even the Emperor doesn't seem to care, no one else can say anything, especially considering how much Third Sister has sacrificed to escape punishment for her past transgressions.
Finally, she added, "I beg Your Majesty to take good care of Third Sister, but if one day she commits any unforgivable crime, Your Majesty must not hold a grudge against our Wen family. After all, Third Sister has disowned us and severed ties with us."
After saying that, she shrugged and turned back to her seat.
