The sky gradually darkened.
The lights at the entrance of the Public House had been lit up early, illuminating the entire area.
The Wang family was waiting at the gate with a pair of children, waiting for the return of the old madam's carriage.
Not long after, two carriages came from the corner of the street.
He was here!
Wen Yuanyuan's fingers that were holding the handkerchief unconsciously tightened, and her body tensed up for a moment.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands covered her cold fingers. Then, she heard Mrs. Wang's gentle voice," Yuan 'er, don't be afraid. I'm here."”
Wen Yuanyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly looked up. She met the gentle and loving eyes of the Madam Wang. Her cold body gradually warmed up and her heart gradually calmed down.
She smiled lightly and nodded vigorously.”
At this moment, Wen Changxian also came over," Me too, brother is here too."”
Wen Changxian's smile gradually widened. That's right, she still had her mother and brother!
They were the warmest existences in her life!
As they spoke, the carriage approached from afar, and their vision became clearer.
Wen Yuanyuan narrowed his eyes. Yan Zihong?
Why was he here?
At this moment, the carriage stopped. Yan Zihong dismounted first." Yan Zihong greets Madam.”
Madam Wang quickly returned the greeting." Greetings, Crown Prince."”
"Madam is too polite." Then, he looked at Wen Changxian and Wen Yuanyuan." Brother Changxian, Sister Yuanyuan, we meet again."”
"Prince Yan."
Yan Zihong's appearance wasn't only unexpected to Wen Yuanyuan, but also to the Wang family and Wen Changxian. However, it wasn't appropriate to ask.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zihong took the initiative to explain,"Today, I accompanied my mother to worship Buddha. On the way back, I happened to meet the old madam who returned to the capital…"
The rest of the words were clear to everyone.
"I see. I'll have to trouble the prince to escort the old madam.”
"Madam is too polite."
Wen Yuanyuan looked at the gentle Yan Zihong and laughed coldly in her heart. Giving up her mother to escort the old madam?
Was Yan Zihong afraid that others wouldn't be able to see through his little thoughts?
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too passionate, Yan Zihong looked over. In midair, their gazes met.
Wen Yuanyuan calmly smiled at him and then looked away because Old Madam and the others had already gotten out of the car.
Yan Zihong was a little stunned. That gaze just now…
The old madam was a bit younger than the later stages of her previous life. Only her temples were stained with frost. Her purple-red brocade set off her rosy complexion and made her look energetic. Beside her stood an obedient woman.
She was dressed in plain clothes and had a plain hairpin. Her bearing was extraordinary and elegant.
Wenmuzhen!
Wen Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked at her pink dress. A dim light flashed across her eyes.
When he raised his head, he caught Wenmu Zhen's gaze and met her gaze without avoiding it. He curled his lips and revealed a shy smile.
Wen Muzhen was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect this to happen. By the time she recovered, Wen Yuanyuan had already bowed to Old Furen with Wang.
Seeing this, Wen Muzhen frowned.
" This must be our Yuan Yuan…" The old madam looked at Wen Yuan Yuan with slightly red eyes," Child, come here, let grandmother take a good look…"
Wen Yuanyuan hid the emotions in her eyes and walked over shyly. She bowed and said," Greetings, Grandmother. Granddaughter pays her respects to you."”
" Good, good…" The old madam excitedly pulled Wen Yuanyuan into her arms," Good child, I've been looking forward to your return. It's been so many years. Grandmother almost dreams of you every day…"
" Grandmother…" Wen Yuanyuan pursed her lips and forced herself to shed two drops of tears.
The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried for a while before returning to the manor together.
After Old Furen sat down, Wen Changxian and Wen Yuanyuan knelt down and kowtowed.
One of the siblings had returned from abroad, while the other had just returned after being abducted for many years. According to etiquette, they should naturally kowtow to the old madam.
" Good child, get up quickly. We're all family. There's no need to be so polite. Come over…" When the siblings approached, the old madam reached out and pulled one of them." Yuan 'er, tell Grandmother, how have you been all these years?”
" Grandmother, as long as I can remember, I've been a child bride in a family with the surname Fang. Since I was five, I've been working up and down the mountains. Every day, I sleep later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken. I eat chaff and drink rice soup. The Fang family's wife has a fierce personality. Whenever she doesn't like me, she will beat and scold me…All these years, this has been how I've been.”
As Wen Yuanyuan's words fell, the old madam's face was already covered in tears, while Madam Wang was sobbing.
Even Wen Changxian, a grown man, also shed tears. Yan Zihong turned his head and looked carefully. One could see that his eyes were red.
The maids and old women in the room sobbed softly. For a moment, the air was filled with a faint sadness.
Wen Yuanyuan found it funny. How this person spoke was really important.
In her previous life, she had never mentioned this. In her opinion, it was a particularly embarrassing thing for her to be a child bride of a fool. Therefore, when the old madam asked her the same question just now, she had evaded it vaguely. Naturally, there was no such thing as now.
In this life, she had chosen the opposite path from her previous life. Not only did she not fool around with her experience, but she also told it in detail. She did not expect to receive such a large amount of sympathy.
Other than the Wang family and Wen Changxian, Wen Yuanyuan didn't really care about other people's reactions. She never thought that sympathy would change everything.
In her previous life, someone had sympathized with her. In the end, it did not change anything. When things happened, they would still do what they should. They would not say less or step on her less because of their sympathy for her.
Therefore, she didn't feel much about all this.
" Good child, you've suffered. Now that you're home, no one can bully you anymore. Don't worry, Grandmother and your parents will make it up to you…"
Looking at the old madam's sincere eyes, Wen Yuanyuan sighed. She knew that the old madam was indeed feeling sorry for her and would give her a lot of compensation in the future.
However, when he realized that she was useless, stupid, and embarrassing, everything changed. He became more and more picky about her and looked down on her more and more. He even got to the point where he hated her just by looking at her.
If it wasn't for her maternal grandfather, this old lady would have grabbed a broom and chased her out long ago.
Suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, Wen Yuanyuan nodded lightly.
The old madam was a little dissatisfied with her reaction. She had already made such a promise, so she should at least say something to thank her.
At that moment, his enthusiasm for Wen Yuanyuan faded and he called Wen Muzhen over.
"Yuan 'er, this is your sister…"
"Hello, sister."
Wen Yuanyuan greeted him with a normal expression.
