Wen Ruyi clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Wen Nongnong's words were clearly saying that she was acting recklessly and fearlessly because she relied on the old lady's favor. At the same time, she was also reminding Wen Shiqing and his wife not to interfere in her affairs.
She was so angry that her face turned pale, and she barely managed to suppress her anger, but her eyes were coldly fixed on Wen Nong Nong.
Under the lamplight, that stunning face seemed even more radiant and beautiful, yet she found it particularly glaring.
What she couldn't understand was, when did this idiot who used to cling to her like a lapdog become smart?
And what she said...
She frowned and hurriedly looked at Wen Shiqing and Madam Xu.
Sure enough, the two of them looked rather grim.
"Father, Mother, please listen to my explanation. That's not how it happened. I didn't do anything..." Wen Ruyi hurriedly shook her head, but she couldn't say that Wen Nongnong had told her to go to the back door to see Xue Ziyu. They wouldn't believe her if she said that, and they would think she was trying to smear Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong had already planned everything out; she was determined to make her suffer in silence.
Thinking of this, she became even angrier and more resentful.
Wen Shiqing sighed and said, "Regardless of what happened tonight, you should know what you're doing. Since your grandmother isn't here, I can't say much to you, but when she returns, I will tell her about this. Whether or not you are punished then is up to her."
Madam Xu nodded, "Yes, we really shouldn't say too much. You just need to know what's going on in your heart."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruyi's face stiffened, and she was speechless. At this moment, her eagerness to defend herself made her seem like a joke.
Because whether or not she was actually having an affair, Wen Shiqing and his wife wouldn't care.
To them, she was just an insignificant person.
Although she was raised by Old Madam Wen, she was registered under the names of Wen Shiqing and his wife and was their adopted daughter. However, from childhood to adulthood, the two of them were mostly polite to her. Although they never shortchanged her, they could never do what they did to Wen Nong Nong.
She had witnessed so much of Wen Shiqing and Madam Xu's doting affection for Wen Nongnong that, over time, she couldn't help but feel a longing in her heart to receive the same love from the couple. However, it seemed that they gave all their love to Wen Nongnong and couldn't spare even a tiny bit for her.
Although she was favored by Madam Wen, she always felt out of place during festivals, like a ridiculous outsider.
She was jealous of Wen Nong Nong, jealous that despite being so stupid and not favored by the old lady, she received all the love from her parents, and even Wen Nong Nong's two older brothers spoiled and protected her in every way.
Now, Wen Nongnong has married Gu Linchao and become the esteemed Regent's Consort.
She really couldn't understand why a fool like Wen Nong Nong had such a good life.
She wished she could take her place and snatch everything that belonged to Wen Nong Nong.
She even wished she were dead, so she wouldn't have to be jealous of her anymore.
It could have succeeded tonight, but at the crucial moment, such a mistake occurred...
Wen Ruyi was furious and resentful.
Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were coldly staring at her, Wen Nongnong realized that she must hate her to the extreme.
She shrugged dismissively.
Compared to what Wen Ruyi did to the original owner of this body, what she did today was nothing.
However, she never intended to kill Wen Ruyi with one blow when she staged this scene tonight.
Because that's unlikely.
As long as Old Madam Wen protects Wen Ruyi, Wen Ruyi can get away unscathed no matter what she does.
