"High Duke, come back!"
Just as they were talking, the voice of a servant came from outside.
Madam Wang rubbed the corners of her eyes and smiled at her children."Your father is back."
As his voice faded, the sound of footsteps approached. In a short while, a middle-aged man in a green robe walked in. He was nearly forty years old, but he looked to be in his thirties. He was handsome and his body was surrounded by a faint scholarly aura.
Wen Zexuan, the current Duke, her biological father!
Wen Yuanyuan smiled but his eyes were cold.
She had already seen through her biological father in her previous life. He was not very capable, but he was very arrogant and heartless. How he treated her, how he treated his brother, and how he was heartless. She remembered every single thing clearly!
Wen Zexuan was a good man in the eyes of the world. He didn't take in concubines or set up a side room. In the backyard, there was only his wife, Wang. The outside world said that the couple was deeply in love and harmonious.
Actually, Wen Zexuan had deceived everyone!
In her previous life, after her mother passed away, Wen Zexuan welcomed a second wife and even brought a stepson who was one year older than her brother. In less than a year, when her maternal grandfather was injured and recuperating, she quickly seized the right to inherit the title of Duke of her brother's country and helped her stepson to become a duke.
Outsiders who didn't know about this only thought that Wen Zexuan had gone crazy, actually abandoning his own son to support his stepson. Little did they know that it wasn't a stepson at all, it was his own son, and that stepwife was none other than his childhood sweetheart who had fallen from grace back then!
Before marrying her mother, Wen Zexuan had secretly slept with that childhood sweetheart. For many years, they had been raised outside. Until her mother passed away, he couldn't wait to welcome them in.
As for her brother, not only was he stripped of his title, but he was also tricked and kicked out of the Wen family. Wen Zexuan even said that her brother was disobedient and unfilial and wanted to rape and kill his stepmother. All the accusations were placed on her brother's head, causing her brother's reputation to be ruined. In the entire Yan Jin, no woman dared to marry him!
"Younger sister?"
Wen Yuanyuan regained her senses and saw Wen Zexuan looking at her with red eyes. She restrained her mockery and called out,"Father."
"Good, good child. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back…"
Wen Zexuan's excited mood instantly cooled down after seeing Wen Yuanyuan's calm attitude. He thought, After all, he has been outside for so many years, his heart is not in the same place.
After sitting down, Wen Zexuan said with concern,"I'm afraid you've suffered a lot these years?”
Wen Yuanyuan naturally saw the love in his eyes. She knew that Wen Zexuan had some pity for her at this time, but this pity lost to reality as they got along day by day.
She didn't blame him for his disdain and indifference later on. After all, they didn't have any deep feelings for each other and she would only embarrass him. However, she couldn't act as if nothing had happened to him when he was ruthless to her brother!
"It's alright," he said indifferently.
Wen Zexuan spoke a few more words of concern, but every time he received an extremely cold response. It was as if his hot face was stuck to a cold face.
He held his breath and made an excuse to go to the study.
Seeing this, Wen Changxian quickly chased after him," Father, don't be angry. Sister just came back and is not used to everything. Give her some time to adapt. She will be fine after she gets used to it."”
Wen Zexuan believed that as a father, he was broad-minded and wouldn't say anything in front of his son. However, only he knew what he was thinking.
After the father and son left one after the other, the Wang family acted as if nothing had happened and pulled Wen Yuanyuan to talk to her for a while.
To be honest, with the scene just now, she was prepared to touch the ice. Who knew that her treatment was very different from Wen Zexuan. This made her very suspicious, but she didn't ask.
After that, Wang took Wen Yuanyuan to Yining Court. Yining Court was the courtyard where she lived in her previous life and would spend her life here.
The grass and trees in the courtyard, as well as the decorations in the house, were all personally arranged by the Wang family. It was extremely warm and it was not difficult to see that they had put in a lot of effort.
"Yuan Yuan, do you like it?"
Wen Yuanyuan nodded.
Seeing no reluctance on her face, Madam Wang heaved a sigh of relief. In the next moment, she began to blame herself and feel guilty.
Yi Ning Garden was only a middle-class garden in the backyard of the Public House. The best was naturally the Old Furen's Fu Lu Garden, followed by her Zhi Ning Garden, followed by Wen Muzhen's Si Yuan, and finally this Yi Ning Garden.
She wanted to give the best to her daughter, but she couldn't surpass the word filial piety. Not only did she make her daughter lower in ranking than the adopted daughter, but she also made her daughter live in a courtyard lower than the adopted daughter.
She was useless. She could not give her daughter the best. The arrangement was the same, and so was the courtyard…
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt even more uncomfortable and blamed herself. She caressed her daughter's thin face and said," I'm sorry, Yuan 'er. I'm useless and made you suffer."”
Her daughter was clearly the one and only pearl of the High Duke's Public House, but now, she was suppressed by an adopted daughter. Moreover, her daughter had returned, but her grandmother was not in the Public House…
Thinking of how her mother-in-law had brought Wen Muzhen to Pu Le Temple to pray for blessings two days ago, the Wang family was annoyed.
He did not pray for blessings earlier or later, but he had to pray for blessings when her daughter came back. Moreover, he had to go to the furthest Pu Le Temple for a few days. This was clearly embarrassing her and her daughter!
She hated that she was useless. As a daughter-in-law, she could not surpass her mother-in-law.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her daughter. She hugged her and kept apologizing and blaming herself.
Wen Yuanyuan, who had experienced a lifetime, knew where this apology came from. She sneered in her heart. It was like this in her previous life. Before she returned to the residence, the old madam took Wen Muzhen to Pu Le Temple and only returned on the fourth day.
Having been reborn, she knew very well that the old lady's actions were called blessings, but in fact, she was doing it intentionally. She wanted to show her power and tell everyone that so what if the Di daughter came back? The Di daughter could not surpass her eyes and steal Mu Zhen!
She hadn't even returned yet and the old lady had already given her a show of strength. It had to be said that the old lady was really biased towards Wen Muzhen.
In her previous life, she could not understand. She was clearly her biological granddaughter, and they were clearly blood-related relatives. How could she not be biased towards her biological granddaughter, but towards an adopted granddaughter?
After seeing Wen Zexuan's ruthlessness, she understood that this kind of ruthlessness could be inherited.
Now, whether it was the old lady or Wen Zexuan, their opinions could no longer cause any waves to her.
If he didn't care, why would he care?
