Madam Wen was taken aback, her feelings a complex mix.
She knew, of course, that Nong Nong and Ru Yi had a good relationship. In the entire Wen family, apart from herself, only Nong Nong was the best to Ru Yi.
Although Nong Nong was the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, she was rather petty and narrow-minded in her dealings with others. On the other hand, Ru Yi, although she was an adopted daughter, was generous and elegant, with a demeanor reminiscent of Nong Nong in her youth. In addition, Ru Yi often served her and kept her company, showing her great filial piety and respect. As a result, Nong Nong couldn't help but show her more favoritism. Over time, with this comparison, she began to look down on Nong Nong.
Wen Nongnong saw the complex changes in her expression and continued to sob, "If it weren't for our past relationship, given what she did to me, this time it wouldn't be as simple as just sending her away. Didn't Grandmother consider that Third Sister's actions against me were a provocation against the dignity of the royal family?"
"If something had happened to me last night, the Regent's Palace's reputation would have been severely damaged. Moreover, the Regent still has her handwritten letter. Do you think Grandmother would let it go? This time, if it weren't for my sake, the Regent would never have let her off the hook, and our Wen family might have been implicated as well."
She spoke naturally on the surface, but in her heart she couldn't help but think, since Gu Linchao wasn't here, it wouldn't hurt for her to embellish her image, right?
Madam Wen was utterly shocked and speechless for a long time.
She had naturally thought about these issues, but she felt that since Nong Nong hadn't gotten into any trouble, why make things so tense?
Moreover, Ruyi is injured and has lost her memory; she remembers nothing...
After a long silence, she sighed, her expression quite helpless. "As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Besides, Ruyi has lost her memory, and she was raised by our Wen family. We should give her a chance to reform." She paused, "If you agree, I will bring her back, keep her by my side, and personally teach her to correct her ways..."
Wen Nongnong frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.
In the end, the old lady still wants to protect Wen Ruyi.
She sneered inwardly. The old lady had really been bewitched by Wen Ruyi. The facts were right in front of her, yet she still hadn't given up on Wen Ruyi.
"How can Grandmother be so sure that she has really lost her memory? Besides, people say that it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. What if Third Sister refuses to change? You can't see into someone's heart. Nobody knows what she's thinking."
She paused here, "Actually, whether she comes back or not has nothing to do with me. I'm already married, and she can't bother me. But my sister-in-law is different. She's pregnant now. What if my third sister has malicious intentions and harms her..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Xu's expression changed, and she quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mother, Nong Nong is right. Ru Yi has really disappointed and disappointed us this time. We have raised her for so many years and we believe we have treated her well. How could she have such a vicious mind?"
If we bring her back, and she develops malicious intentions towards Yingying, it will be too late to regret it. We'll just keep her confined to the estate, and her daily necessities will remain the same as they were in the manor. Why bring her back at all?
Lu Yingying placed her hand on her belly and said worriedly, "Grandmother, why don't I go back to my parents' house to live? I'll wait until the baby is born before I..."
"Nonsense! You are a daughter-in-law of the Wen family. How can you go back to your parents' home to give birth? Where does this leave the face of the Wen family?" Old Madam Wen frowned, and finally said with a sullen face, "Fine, Ruyi has done something wrong and should be punished. Let her stay on the estate."
