The old madam's expression was not too good at this moment. Obviously, she also heard it. She glared at Wen Yuanyuan and said in a strange tone,"Our Yuan 'er has really made Grandmother look at him in a different light time and time again!”
Wen Yuanyuan grinned," Granddaughter, thank you for your praise."”
"You!" The old madam couldn't win her argument, so she looked for external help." Zexuan, look at the good daughter you raised!”
Wen Zexuan focused on eating and pretended not to hear anything.
If he hadn't talked to Wen Yuanyuan before, he would have scolded her for this situation. However, after talking to her, he would always be angry and didn't dare to interrupt her for fear that she would say something wrong.
Moreover, this was a critical time. His father-in-law was about to return to the capital. One wrong step would lead to more mistakes. How could he casually speak?
The old madam was furious at her son's lack of effort. She put down her chopsticks on the spot and said," I'm full. I won't be an eyesore anymore."”
After saying those harsh words, the old madam did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited. However, in the end, no one tried to persuade her to stay. She was so angry that she stood up and left the hall and returned to her room.
Old Furen was Wen Muzhen's backer, and also the only backer in this residence. Now that Old Furen has left, she must go and take a look.
After apologizing to Wen Zexuan and Wang Shi, he quickly chased after Old Furen.
The atmosphere at the dining table froze for a moment. Only Wen Yuanyuan ate and drank as she pleased.
She had once said that in this life, she would not let herself suffer the slightest grievance. No one could make her suffer!
Not long after, Wen Zexuan left with the excuse of being busy with work. At this point, only the mother and son were left at the dining table.
Madam Wang looked at the reunion dinner table where everyone had left, and her guilt towards her daughter reached a peak.
She turned her head and rubbed the corner of her eyes, secretly sniffling.
No matter how careful he was, in such a quiet space, Wen Yuanyuan could still hear him clearly. She quickly comforted him,"Mother, don't cry. Wouldn't it be better for us three to eat together?”
"That's right, sister is right. Let's eat as a family of three.”Wen Changxian was a rough man with a big heart. Not only did he not hear his sister's 'family of three', but he also responded repeatedly.
With the brother and sister's words of comfort, Madam Wang's emotions slowly calmed down. She held her children's hands and said," It's my fault for being useless and making you suffer.”
The siblings looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Although everyone had left, they still had to eat. The mother and son trio ate their fill before leaving Fortune Garden.
When the old madam learned of this, she was so angry that she rolled her eyes. If it wasn't for Nanny Qi's quick reaction and pinching her philtrum, she would have fainted.
The Old Furen was not doing well. She was most worried about Wen Muzhen. She was more anxious than anyone else. If the Old Furen was gone, she would have nowhere to go and no one to rely on.
When she was brought back to the Duke's Public House, although she was only three years old, she could already read people's expressions. At that time, she knew that the Wang family did not like her. Every time she saw her, it was as if she was seeing an enemy who had stolen her beloved.
She knew that Madam Wang had her own daughter, but she was unlucky enough to be kidnapped. She did not like her because she had taken away everything that should have belonged to her daughter.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought of pleasing the Wang Consortium, and she had indeed done so. She didn't just want to replace everything about her daughter, she also wanted to replace her daughter's position in her heart.
However, no matter how she tried to please her, Madam Wang was indifferent. She was neither close nor intimate with her, and she was indifferent every time.
Later, she gave up and turned to the old madam, holding on tightly to the old madam.
These years had been smooth sailing. Although she was the adopted daughter of the High Duke's Public House, everyone knew that she was the only daughter of the High Duke's Public House. With her own efforts, she had obtained the reputation of the number one talented woman in Yan Jin. Everyone who saw her would be envious and admire her. Anyone would praise her for being a noble daughter.
She thought that her days would continue like this. When she reached adulthood, she would marry a good husband of noble birth and marry with the honor of being the only daughter of the High Duke's Public House.
However, her luck seemed to have come to an end. She had found Wen Yuanyuan, who had been kidnapped by the kidnappers back then!
Furthermore, Madam Wang had even proposed to send her back to her biological parents!
She didn't want to go back. Her parents were just a side branch of the Wen family. They didn't have any official positions or titles. They were just ordinary people. If she went back, where would she find maids to serve her? Where would she find luxurious clothes and delicacies? Where would she find countless gold and silver jewelry…
She tried to please the old madam even more, and she was left behind.
And the old madam was her big tree. If the old madam fell, then she would really be finished!
……
The old madam finally calmed down, but in the end, the anger had accumulated in her heart for too long. She became sick from holding it in and had a fever that night.
That night, Wenmuzhen stayed by the bed to take care of Old Furen.
This action moved the servant maids and old women of Fortune Garden.
"Our Young Miss is a good person. Old Madam didn't raise her for nothing.”
"That's right. The Eldest Miss is more anxious than anyone else when the Old Madam is sick. This biological granddaughter is probably only so-so.”
"Yes, yes…"
Nanny Qi heard the whispers of the maidservants clearly, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Alright?
She was just afraid that she would be finished if the old madam fell!
However, what did it have to do with her whether it was sincere or fake? She was already old and didn't have the energy to struggle anymore. She had to turn a blind eye so that she could safely spend her last days.
Wen Yuanyuan heard that the old madam was sick the next morning.
He immediately laughed. However, he was sick after being rebuked by her with just one sentence. It really made him speechless!
No matter what she thought, as her granddaughter, she had to visit him.
She went to Zhining Court and went to Fulu Court with Wang.
Old Furen's fever had been fluctuating throughout the night, tormenting the few servant maids and old women who served her in close quarters. Each and every one of their faces were rather ugly and haggard.
It was unknown if it was because she was angry after staying up all night, but when she saw the mother and daughter of the Wang family, one of the servant girls actually opened her mouth to drive them back.
"Madam and Miss, please return. Old Madam's condition has just stabilized. It won't be good if she's still angry.”
As soon as these words were said, the entire scene could be heard.
Pa!
"How dare you speak to Furen and Young Lady like this. Men, slap your mouth!”
Wet Nurse Chen shouted with a cold face. Zi Yuan and Zi Ting cooperated tacitly and quickly went forward. They held the servant girl on both sides. Wen Yu was the strongest, so she was responsible for slapping her.
Pa, pa, pa, pa--
The sound of slaps rang out endlessly. When the other servants of the Fulu Garden saw this, their expressions changed. They knelt on the ground one after another. They were secretly resentful. Even if this wretched girl was dissatisfied, she could not say it out loud. Did she not know her status? This was great. The old madam was still sick. The eldest miss would not go against the madam for a servant girl. Moreover, it was the servant girl's fault.
