Wen Nongnong had just taken the cup from Lü Qiao when she heard this, and almost dropped it, exclaiming, "What?"
Wen Tingyun pursed her lips. "I was also surprised when I heard it, but it's absolutely true. The Emperor was assassinated yesterday, but Wen Ruyi saved him. The Regent even went to the estate last night to look for the Emperor. You can go and ask my brother-in-law."
Wen Nongnong was startled.
Unexpectedly, even after she had sent Wen Ruyi away from the Wen residence, things still proceeded according to the original plot of the book.
Wen Ruyi unexpectedly ran into Gu Heng at the manor, and this time, she even entered the palace ahead of schedule.
Although she didn't enter the palace with the honors due to an empress, she still managed to gain Gu Heng's favor and remain in the palace.
Does this mean that the Wen family still cannot escape that calamity?
And she, too, will follow in the footsteps of the original owner?
Wen Nongnong felt cold all over.
She thought she had escaped a calamity and even devised a plan to send Wen Ruyi away, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain.
"Nongnong, what's wrong? You look so pale."
Wen Tingyun's worried voice came through, and Wen Nongnong finally came to her senses. She wiped her face and shook her head, "I'm fine." After a pause, she turned to Lü Qiao and said, "Stand guard outside the door and don't let anyone get close."
Lü Qiao nodded and quickly walked out.
Wen Tingyun frowned and asked, "Are you worried that your dream might become reality?"
Wen Nongnong nodded. "Mm."
Wen Tingyun comforted her, "Don't think of things so badly. Although Wen Ruyi has entered the palace now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. She may not necessarily become empress, and our Wen family may not necessarily suffer this calamity."
Wen Nongnong smiled bitterly to herself.
How could she say that it wasn't a dream she had, but rather the plot of a book?
If things had gone according to the book's plot, none of them would have survived.
But Wen Tingyun was right. She shouldn't have thought things were so bad. There's always a way out. She shouldn't give up until the very last moment.
She clenched her fingers, pondered for a long time, and finally looked up. "Second brother, you're right, but just in case, we can't sit idly by and wait for death."
Wen Tingyun asked solemnly, "What do you intend to do?"
“At the very least, we must have the strength to fight against others,” Wen Nongnong said slowly. “If that day really comes, we need to have the power to save our whole family. Second brother, from today onwards, you must secretly organize forces and cultivate an army that can be used for us, so that we may be able to use it in a critical moment in the future.”
Wen Tingyun's heart skipped a beat as she realized what was going on. "This shouldn't be difficult."
"That's good. I'll have to rely on you, Second Brother, for this matter." Wen Nongnong paused, then said with a serious expression, "Second Brother, you must not take this lightly again."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyun felt somewhat guilty, knowing that she was referring to the matter at the manor, and assured her, "Don't worry, I will not be careless again."
Wen Nong Nong's lips moved, intending to scold him again, but after thinking about it, she gave up, because even if it wasn't this time, Wen Ruyi would definitely find other opportunities.
Thinking it over, she changed the subject and said, "In addition, I will try to win over the prince and get him to stand on our side."
Looking at his sister's determined eyes, Wen Tingyun hesitated for a moment, not wanting to discourage her, but still reminded her, "You don't need to force yourself on the Prince. If you go too far, it might backfire. After all, the Prince is a member of the royal family and would never do anything detrimental to the royal family."
But you and the Prince are husband and wife. As long as the Prince is alive, I believe Wen Ruyi wouldn't dare to do anything to you. Just be a good Regent's Consort. If one day our Wen family suffers a great calamity, don't drag it into it. Take care of yourself and find a way to extricate yourself from the situation."
A warm feeling washed over Wen Nongnong; her cheap second brother was actually thinking of her best interests.
With such good family members, how could she possibly remain indifferent and stand aside?
