Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So Wen Tingyun didn't suspect her after all.
But why do his words sound so unpleasant?
"You're the stupid one," she said deliberately, feigning anger.
Wen Tingyun chuckled and reached out to pinch her rosy cheeks. "You've always been stupid!"
"Get lost!" Wen Nong Nong stomped on his instep, got up and ran away.
"Wen Nongnong, don't go! You dare step on me? I'll beat you to death..."
Wen Tingyun's loud screams came from behind.
Wen Nongnong's heart was pounding; she was extremely nervous.
Fortunately, Wen Tingyun did not suspect her.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
The main hall of the Wen family residence.
When the brother and sister arrived, Wen Ruyi was sitting in a chair, holding a handkerchief and sobbing softly.
Wen Shiqing and Madam Xu comforted her, "Ruyi, don't cry. We called you here to ask you what happened at the back door just now. We didn't mean to blame you."
Wen Ruyi wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Yes, Third Sister, don't just cry. Quickly tell Father and Mother what happened and let them stand up for you. We can't let that boy take advantage of us like this." Wen Nongnong walked in and said anxiously.
Wen Tingyun, who was following behind her, almost burst out laughing.
How come he never noticed before that this girl had such a sharp tongue?
Upon hearing this, Wen Shiqing and Madam Xu's expressions turned somewhat grim. "Ruyi, you and that person..."
Wen Ruyi clenched the handkerchief in her hand, so angry that she wanted to tear Wen Nongnong apart. She forgot about trying to gain sympathy by shedding tears and hurriedly said, "Father, Mother, don't listen to my little sister's nonsense. I have never met that person before, we don't know each other at all, and we have no relationship whatsoever. I was just about to go to sleep when I heard that my little sister's things had been stolen, so I took some people to chase after them. I didn't expect to run into Lü Qiao. That girl has misunderstood me."
Standing to the side, Lü Qiao frowned and said, "Third Miss, I wasn't the only one who saw it..."
“Wen Ruyi, if Lü Qiao can be mistaken, how could so many servants be wrong? You ostensibly went to catch a thief, but in reality, you were just going to have a secret rendezvous with someone.” Wen Tingyun made the final judgment.
Wen Ruyi's face turned pale, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Wen Tingyun had always been at odds with her, and now that he had the chance, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason. My second brother has never liked me, but such slander is truly chilling." As she spoke, her eyes were already red.
Wen Tingyun sneered, "Grandmother isn't here, you don't need to put on this act. You know in your heart whether it's slander or not!" Of all the Wen family members, he hated Wen Ruyi the most, not because of her status as an adopted daughter, but because she was vicious, hypocritical, and two-faced, yet his grandmother still wholeheartedly protected her.
In the past, the younger sister was almost brainwashed by her, trusting her completely and ignoring what her own brother said. She wouldn't allow him to say a bad word about Wen Ruyi, which caused many arguments between the two siblings.
Fortunately, the girl has come to her senses and is now sensible.
Thinking about this, his mood improved again.
Wen Nongnong, unaware that he was criticizing her in his heart, chimed in, "Yes, Third Sister is complaining so much because the person ran away and there's no way to prove it. But so many eyes saw you having a secret rendezvous with someone at the back door. You can't just deny it and cover it up."
Of course, your grandmother loves you the most. Even if you did something utterly heinous, she probably wouldn't say anything to you. Besides, you only went to the back door late at night to exchange a few words with another man.
