Sure enough, Wen Shiqing came to his senses and his face darkened, but he still had some sense of reason and asked in a deep voice, "Ruyi, is what this person said true?"
The color had completely drained from Wen Ruyi's face.
In any case, she never expected that Gu Linchao's arrival would deal her such a fatal blow.
That idiot Xue Ziyu actually fell into Gu Linchao's hands and betrayed her completely.
But how could she admit it at this point?
"No, I didn't, it wasn't me..."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap interrupted her words.
"Well, Wen Ruyi, our Wen family has treated you well, yet we raised such an ingrate! It's all thanks to Nong Nong who always protected you and treated you like her own sister, but you turned around and tried to kill her! You heartless, ungrateful wretch!" Madam Xu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She grabbed Wen Ruyi's arm and launched into a tirade of abuse.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to Nong Nong if she fell for Wen Ruyi's tricks and got involved with that man.
Putting aside the issue of reputation, given Gu Linchao's methods, he would never let Nong Nong go.
The more Xu thought about it, the more frightened she became. At this moment, she really wanted to tear Wen Ruyi apart.
Wen Ruyi's face was turned to the side after being hit, and she didn't react for a long time.
Although she was an adopted daughter of the Wen family, she was deeply loved by the old lady. Therefore, she had been living a life of luxury since childhood, surrounded by servants and never suffered any hardship. Today, however, she was publicly humiliated by Madam Xu, leaving her stunned.
Realizing what had happened, she disregarded the humiliation and quickly played her trump card. With tears streaming down her face, she said helplessly and pitifully, "Mother, I didn't. You can't condemn me based on this person's one-sided story. I've always loved my sister, so how could I do such a thing to harm her?"
Madam Xu was a soft-hearted person. If it were any other day, seeing her in such a pitiful state, she would probably have already softened her heart. But this time, since it involved her precious daughter, she felt that Wen Ruyi's behavior was truly despicable.
"The facts are right in front of you, how dare you deny it? If you didn't do it, why doesn't he implicate others instead of you? The Regent is busy with countless affairs of state, he wouldn't possibly hold a grudge against a young girl like you. Protecting your sister? How dare you even say that!" At this moment, Madam Xu was no longer the gentle and dignified woman she usually was. She was furious, like a lioness protecting her cubs.
Wen Nongnong was amazed. She never expected that Madam Xu would defend her daughter so fiercely. She blinked, feeling a warm glow in her heart and was deeply moved.
She grew up in an orphanage in her previous life. This feeling of being protected by relatives was something she had never experienced in her previous life. Although it was unfamiliar, it was really good and not bad at all.
But these wonderful family members met a tragic end in the original book...
Although she perfectly escaped the crisis tonight, the crisis at the Wen family's residence was not over.
It's all because Wen Ruyi, this adopted daughter, has always been a scourge.
She harbored malicious intentions; in the original book, she not only harmed the original owner of the body, but also destroyed the Wen family.
Therefore, as long as Wen Ruyi lives, the Wen family's crisis will not be resolved, and she may continue down the same path as the original owner.
Getting rid of Wen Ruyi is not so easy.
It was only because Madam Wen valued Wen Ruyi so much that even adopting Wen Ruyi was her idea.
“Lvqiao, is this the person who was with the Third Miss at the back gate just now?” At this moment, Wen Tingyun pointed at Xue Ziyu on the ground and asked.
