Chapter 366 Grandma is back
What Wen Zhengning found most unacceptable was what Wen Xiaoxiao said: that she had been hiding something from them, which meant that she was on guard against them and the Wen family.
The fact that she was so wary of them could only mean that her motives for returning were impure.
Although he never believed that a girl who had returned from the countryside could cause any trouble.
But if we add Murong Ting, things become hard to say.
As everyone knows, that man represents the power of both the Murong and An families.
On the other side, Wen Zirou was equally worried. She lowered her eyes and occasionally stole a glance at Kong Wange, seemingly plotting something.
After a long pause, she gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked to Wen Zhengning's side, saying, "Brother, Xiaoxiao is right. Kong Wange really needs to give us a reasonable explanation for hiding her relationship with Murong Ting from us, otherwise the Wen family cannot keep her."
Wen Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, said smugly, "Explain? Can she explain it?! What I said is an indisputable fact! Aunt, Uncle, don't waste your breath on her, just kick her out and be done with it!"
The thought that Kong Wange was destined to lose the trust of her uncle and aunt and be kicked out of the Wen family finally gave Wen Xiaoxiao a temporary relief from her pent-up frustration.
In the center of the hall, Kong Wange looked at three pairs of eyes that were scrutinizing, disgusted, or gloating. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when a frail but powerful voice suddenly came from outside the hall, interrupting her.
"Such arrogance! Let's see who dares to kick my granddaughter out of the Wen family!"
Inside the hall, everyone was stunned and instinctively looked outside.
In the courtyard, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair but a sprightly spirit walked in, supported by a gentle and elegant young lady.
Wen Zhengning was the first to react and took a few steps to greet her: "Aunt, why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even tell me beforehand."
The old lady glanced at Wen Zhengning: "What, do I have to report to you in advance before I get home?"
Her tone was tinged with reproach: "I went to worship Buddha, not to cultivate immortality. If I don't come back, how long are you going to keep the news of Xiaoge'er's return a secret from me?"
Seeing this, Wen Zirou quickly stepped forward: "Aunt, what are you saying? You are in seclusion at Jing'an Temple. We wouldn't dare disturb you unless it's something important, right, Luo Yun?"
As she spoke, she quickly gave a look to the person who had accompanied the old lady in.
The person next to the old lady was dressed in an elegant beige embroidered dress. Standing beside her, she had a gentle and well-mannered appearance. She was Wen Zirou's biological daughter, Wen Luoyun.
If Wen Xiaoxiao is a show-off among the younger generation of the Wen family, then Wen Luoyun is definitely a genius among geniuses.
She could read at the age of three, compose poems at the age of five, recite the "Compendium of Materia Medica" backwards at the age of seven, and practice medicine at the age of twelve. Now, at the age of twenty-five, she has been recommended to the Imperial Academy. As the hope of the Wen family's generation, Wen Luoyun carries countless accolades.
She always had a gentle and considerate demeanor, was well-educated and reasonable, and was highly regarded by Wen Zhengning and loved by the old lady.
If Wen Xiaoxiao is a fake rich girl who abuses her power and is used to taking advantage of others, then...
Wen Luoyun was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and lived a life of luxury from childhood to adulthood, a true darling of heaven.
At that moment, upon receiving a look from her mother, she turned around, smiled, and helped the old lady up, saying, "Grandma, have you forgotten the last time you went to worship Buddha, Mom and Uncle bothered you with some mundane family matters, and you threw a tantrum for almost half a month? If you ask me, they were just afraid of upsetting you again, afraid that you would hurt your health if you got too angry. They had no intention of hiding anything from you, so please don't hold it against them."
The old lady's expression softened slightly, but her tone still held some displeasure: "Does Xiaoge'er's return mean she'll be treated like any other ordinary, mundane matter?"
Wen Luoyun smiled gently: "Yes, I told you as soon as I got the news."
The old lady glanced at Wen Zirou and Wen Zhengning and said, "For Yun'er's sake, I won't hold it against you. Let me see my granddaughter first. Little Ge'er, come here quickly, let Grandma take a look..."
Kong Wange stood behind Wen Zhengning and Wen Zirou, somewhat stunned since the old lady appeared.
It wasn't until a few people had chatted for a while that she slowly came to her senses.
Thinking back to what Murong Ting had told her about the Wen family, apart from her maternal grandmother, all the older generation of the Wen family had passed away.
At that moment, she finally realized that her grandmother had returned.
This is the Wen family, and apart from her uncle Wen Zhihan's family, they are the few relatives who would truly welcome her.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her turbulent emotions, and stepped out from behind Wen Zhengning and Wen Zirou to greet the old lady.
“Grandmother.” She smiled gently.
The person in front of her was over seventy years old, but in good spirits, and just standing there gave her a natural sense of warmth.
"So alike, so very alike." The old lady grasped her hand, her voice choked with emotion. "She's practically a carbon copy of Zhiyi, there's no mistake, she's my own granddaughter!"
The old lady's emotions were transmitted to Kong Wange, causing her eyes to redden involuntarily.
She knew her maternal grandmother was still alive before she came to the Wen family, but she didn't grow up in the Wen family, so she didn't really miss her that much.
But now that I've actually seen them, I understand that the closest relatives etched in our bones cannot be lied to.
No matter what happened in the past, at this moment they are family to each other.
Wen Zirou frowned and tried to step forward to separate the two, but Wen Luoyun stopped her.
Wen Luoyun shook her head at her, and although her brows remained furrowed, she didn't move again.
Kong Wange held the old lady's hand and gently stroked her back: "Grandma, it's me, I'm back."
The old lady nodded with tears in her eyes: "Good child, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You've suffered so much these past few days..."
Kong Wange smiled and said, "I didn't suffer too much, but I did experience a lot of interesting things. I'll tell you about them when I have time."
The old lady nodded: "Okay, okay, tell me slowly..."
Hearing their conversation, Wen Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer and sneered from the side, "Grandma, don't be fooled by her obedient appearance. She didn't come back to the Wen family to recognize her relatives. She has no good intentions at all!"
"Xiaoxiao!" Wen Zirou frowned deeply, her face pale.
These words were really inappropriate. The old lady turned around and put on a stern face: "I heard you talking about kicking Ge'er out when I came in. Tell me, how is Ge'er up to no good?"
Wen Zirou tried to stop Wen Xiaoxiao from speaking, but she spoke faster than anyone else: "Grandma, you just got back and don't know, this Kong Wange is keeping it from Uncle and Aunt that she and Murong Ting..."
"That's enough!" the old lady suddenly said.
Although the Wen family is now in charge of one branch of the medicine business, the old lady's prestige accumulated over decades still remains.
