"Hehe." Wen Nongnong couldn't help but laugh when she saw how anxious she was. "Sister-in-law is really easy to tease."
Lu Yingying then realized that she was joking, and her face turned red.
"Let's go in." Wen Nongnong took her arm and walked inside.
"Princess Consort, Fourth Miss, the Old Madam has returned and is in the front hall." A servant rushed forward to report as the two entered.
Wen Nongnong wasn't too surprised; she had expected that the old lady would definitely rush back after Wen Ruyi's accident.
Lu Yingying was somewhat surprised, "Didn't Grandmother go to Jiuhua Mountain to worship Buddha? Why is she back so soon?"
"You'll find out once you go in," Wen Nongnong said without elaborating.
The two entered the front hall and indeed saw Old Madam Wen sitting there, her face looking very unpleasant.
Wen Shiqing, Xu Shi, and Wen Tingyun were also present.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense.
Seeing the two enter, Wen Shiqing and the others were somewhat surprised. Madam Xu had already stood up. "Did you come back together?"
"We bumped into each other right outside the door," Wen Nongnong said before Lu Yingying could speak.
Lu Yingying was taken aback, but said nothing. She stepped forward and greeted the elders one by one.
"Now that you are pregnant, those formalities are unnecessary." When Madam Wen saw her, her expression softened slightly.
"Thank you, Grandmother." Lu Yingying straightened up, and a maid helped her sit down in a chair.
Wen Nongnong stepped forward and bowed to Old Madam Wen, "Grandmother."
Upon seeing her, Madam Wen did not give her a friendly look.
“I was just about to send someone to invite you, but you came back on your own, which saves me the trouble.”
Wen Nongnong feigned ignorance, "Grandmother, is there something you need?"
Madam Wen snorted coldly, "What is it that you don't know?"
Wen Nongnong paused for a moment before saying, "Is it because of Third Sister?"
Madam Wen's expression softened a bit, and she said earnestly, "Ruyi has always had a good relationship with you. She always protects you and sides with you. She always gives you the best things first. This time, it's just a small conflict. There's no need to send her away."
Wen Nong Nong sneered inwardly. Wen Ruyi wanted to kill her. Was it really just a small conflict?
Sure enough, in Madam Wen's heart, Wen Ruyi was more important than her own granddaughter.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner of this body.
“Grandmother, there’s something I’ve never understood,” she suddenly said.
"What is it?" Old Madam Wen frowned.
“Am I not your own granddaughter?” Wen Nongnong asked.
Madam Wen's expression changed drastically, and she slammed her hand heavily on the table. "How dare you!"
Wen Shiqing and the others' expressions changed, and Madam Xu anxiously winked at Wen Nongnong, "Nongnong..."
Wen Nong Nong looked at Old Madam Wen dismissively, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. I was just asking the question that was on my mind."
"Is this how you speak to your elders?" Old Madam Wen's face was unpleasant.
Wen Nongnong smiled and said, "Grandmother probably didn't think about what the consequences would have been if I had fallen into Third Sister's trap last night, which is why she used the words 'minor conflict' to lightly gloss over the matter."
When Madam Wen heard this, she looked at her with a hint of unfamiliarity.
In the past, Wen Nongnong would not have dared to speak to her like this, nor would she have dared to make eye contact with her.
But today...
She looked at her scrutinizingly.
Wen Nongnong suddenly burst into tears.
Crystalline tears streamed down her fair face as she said in a sorrowful voice, "Grandmother, am I not heartbroken too? It's not just you who is good to Third Sister; I've been completely devoted to her. I've never done anything to wrong her, so how could she bear to treat me like that?"
