Chapter 368 Exile to Yumen Town
Wen Xiaoxiao and Wen Luoyun had known each other for over twenty years and had never been this close. Yet Kong Wange had only just met Wen Luoyun and had already won her her heart.
She was both shocked and furious, and stepped forward, shouting, "Wait, Aunt Luo Yun, what are you doing? You actually believe such an absurd thing? Murong Ting may be fickle, but he's not blind. How could he possibly save the wrong person?!"
Under normal circumstances, Wen Luoyun, with her intelligence, would definitely not believe it, but there is one thing she has never told anyone.
When she was seventeen, in order to please Murong Ting, she cooked for the first time and made a bowl of wide noodles.
At the time, she packed the noodles and asked Murong Ting's brother to deliver them to him. Later, Murong Ting's brother returned the empty lunchbox and said to her, "Brother Ting really likes it."
You know, countless girls have brought food to Murong Ting, and he never even glanced at them. But he ate all the noodles she made. What does that mean? It means she's special to him.
The girl with wide noodles who's trending on social media—she can't think of anyone else like her.
Besides, she was also studying at the Imperial Academy, and in the leaked video, someone was shouting, "Someone from the Wen family is trapped in the medicine-making room."
It's normal for Murong Ting to mistakenly believe that she was trapped in the fire.
Murong Ting's reckless rush into the fire moved her deeply, but at the same time, she felt a pang of heartache. If Wen Xiaoxiao hadn't set the fire, he wouldn't have had to risk his life and suffer like this.
Wen Luoyun frowned and looked at Wen Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, the facts are right in front of you, don't you believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" Wen Xiaoxiao looked at her incredulously: "Sister Luo Yun, what's wrong with you today? You're usually so smart and quick-witted, how could you believe these nonsense online? This is obviously a smokescreen put out by Kong Wange and Murong Ting! Are you all stupid?"
"Xiaoxiao, shut up! How dare you be so disrespectful in front of your elders!"
Wen Xiaoxiao was completely frantic. She turned to Wen Zhengning for help: "Uncle, you are the head of the family. You must believe what I say. By the way, I saw Kong Wange and Murong Ting being all lovey-dovey at the hospital yesterday. How could he just be using her as a substitute!"
Wen Zhengning remained silent. At this point, the truth of the matter was no longer important. The old lady had returned, and he could tell that she was determined to protect Kong Wange.
The old lady lived most of her life and still exists in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Several of the Wen family's important medicinal herb suppliers have been cooperating with the Wen family at the lowest market price only because of her influence.
Falling out with the old lady would not benefit the Wen family's development.
Moreover, as the head of the family, his actions are being watched by countless eyes, and he doesn't want to be branded as disobedient to his elders.
Kong Wange's matter can only be decided later when the time is right.
Seeing Wen Zhengning remain silent, Kong Wange sighed and continued, "Cousin Xiaoxiao, I know you're blaming me for being expelled from the academy. You hate me, but the facts are there. You really don't need to keep throwing mud at me. Okay, you said you saw me and Murong Ting being all lovey-dovey in the hospital. Do you have any evidence? I didn't even go to the hospital!"
evidence……
All the photos she took on her phone have been deleted, so there's no evidence left.
Wen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth in anger: "Fine, Kong Wange, you planned all this, didn't you? You knew I couldn't produce any evidence, so you deliberately said this. You little white lotus, how can you be so good at pretending!"
Kong Wange scoffed, "Me, pretending? Even if I could pretend, I couldn't compare to Cousin Xiaoxiao. I often think that someone like Cousin Xiaoxiao must have been a Nanfu battery in her past life. One of them is better than six. She can pretend like a million times!"
Wen Xiaoxiao pointed at Kong Wange: "You...you're utterly shameless! You're the real Nanfu Battery!"
"Enough!" the old lady suddenly snapped, her eyes filled with icy coldness as she looked at Wen Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, haven't you made enough of a scene yet?"
Wen Xiaoxiao stared blankly, tears suddenly streaming down her face: "Grandma, I..."
The old lady felt annoyed when she saw her tears. Her granddaughter had suffered such a great injustice and hadn't cried. Who was she crying for?
She had always disliked this girl's arrogant and domineering nature, and now she felt no sympathy whatsoever. She said directly, "Xiaoxiao, you've brought this upon yourself! Zhengning was busy managing the family and neglected to discipline you from a young age, which is why you've developed this arrogant and ignorant personality. If we're talking about what truly disgraces the Wen family, it's what you've done that has completely ruined the Wen family's reputation!"
She looked at Wen Zhengning and said in a heavy tone, "Zhengning, Xiaoxiao is from your medicine lineage and grew up by your side since she was a child. Logically speaking, I shouldn't say anything, but as the head of the family, you are unfair and too biased towards her. Do you really think our needle lineage is without anyone? Don't forget how you became the head of the family!"
Wen Zhengning paused slightly upon hearing the old lady's words, then bowed and said, "Aunt, you are right to reprimand me, but in Zhengning's heart, acupuncture, pulse diagnosis, and medicine are all family, and I have no selfish motives. I did not handle Xiaoxiao's matter properly."
Wen Zirou hesitated, wanting to say something, but Wen Luoyun gently shook her head. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
Wen Zhengning glanced at Wen Xiaoxiao beside him and asked respectfully, "What do you think is the best way to handle this matter in the end?"
The old woman's eyes were half-closed: "Hmph, they all want me, an old woman, to be the bad guy."
After saying that, she glanced at Wen Zirou: "Zirou, Xiaoxiao is someone you've watched grow up since she was little. What are you thinking?"
"Aunt, I..." Wen Zirou hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a word. Her older sister died early, leaving only this child. How could she bear to punish her?
Wen Luoyun didn't want to see her mother in a difficult position, so she said on behalf of Wen Zirou, "Mom, Xiaoxiao's matter has caused quite a stir in the city. I don't think she can stay in the capital anymore. I remember that the shop in Yumen Town has been neglected for a long time. Why don't we let her go there to look after the shop?"
Upon hearing the words "Yumen Town," Wen Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.
Even though she was terrible at geography, she knew that Yumen Town, despite being called a town, was actually not even as good as a village!
That area is located in the northwest, a remote place. I heard that it is plagued by sandstorms all year round, and even migrating birds don't stop.
Back then, the Wen family only opened a free clinic there to gain a good reputation. There were only one or two doctors, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
Sending her to run a shop so far away is practically the same as exile!
Her tears immediately fell even harder: "No, I don't want to go to Yumen Town, Sister Luo Yun. We grew up together, how could you make such a cruel suggestion!"
Wen Luoyun turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to her. Murong Ting, who dared to set fire to and injure her, had already treated her leniently by exiling her to Yumen Town.
