As the stepmother, Zhang's face became increasingly ugly. After all, she had the responsibility to educate all the children in their family. If Wen Renxiang had done something like this just for a trip, it would have been fine. But she was afraid...
At that time, she, as the stepmother, will not be able to escape the responsibility.
Because the younger generation did not allow them to be present, they only knew that Wen Renxiang ran away, and other things were not so clear, but just the act itself was wrong. If you count carefully, in this big family, among the grandchildren, the number of legitimate and illegitimate children is exactly half and half. Some people may be unwilling to accept their birth and feel that God is unfair, of course, there are also people who take it lightly and live their lives as they should, without complaining about the world.
However, even if there is someone who is unwilling to give in, there is only one person like Wen Renxiang who is extreme, cynical, and wants to get the best of everything in the world. She thinks that everything that belongs to others should be hers, and she thinks that she is the best one, so she deserves everything.
Because of this, she has a bad relationship with her family members, but she still doesn't look for the reason in herself. It's either that others look down on her or that others are jealous of her. She is always cross-eyed. I'm afraid she has never had a few days of truly comfortable and happy days. In essence, this is a bit like the fourth room's Ge.
They should be a mother and daughter pair, but unfortunately, neither of them really takes the other seriously and some even disdain the other.
Xiaocao and Wenrenying knew more about Wenrenxiang's situation, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried. They just hoped that Wenrenxiang wouldn't be that stupid. Xiaocao glanced at her sister and said, "Is wealth, luxury, and good food really that important?"
Wen Renying was stunned and did not answer immediately. She thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know." Wen Renying really didn't know, because she was lucky and had never lacked anything since she was a child. She had never experienced what it was like to live without these things, so naturally she had no way of knowing whether it was important or not.
However, Wen Renying knew clearly that her fourth sister really didn't care about wealth or not. She could live well when she was alone outside, and after coming back, she did not show any eagerness for wealth and accepted it well, which was actually a kind of extreme indifference.
Wenren Xiaosi, who was lost in thought, suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaocao. "This person's pursuit is just different. Fourth sister, why should you worry so much? As for those who always aim too high, don't listen to advice, and always want to get what doesn't belong to them, they will naturally pay the price for their choices. What will happen in the end is their own business. Fourth sister is fine now, just continue your life. Those people, after all, are just insignificant people."
Xiao Cao was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Xiao Si is right."
Wen Renying felt a little strange when she saw her fourth brother, who was always eager to bury himself in books like a bookworm.
However, they all knew that although this "silly" boy in their family was really smart, he was probably because he read a lot of books. Even though he had little experience, he actually had a thorough understanding of many things.
As for whether Wen Renxiang would do something stupid to ruin his reputation and implicate them, at least none of these three would take this issue seriously. In this way, it seemed that the three children of this mother were somewhat similar.
When Wenren was about to go out to look for someone, Wen Renying came back, having been sent back by someone.
The people who sent her back were a middle-aged mother and two maids, and Wen Renxiang also changed her clothes. - Although I don't know what clothes she wore when she went out, Wen Renxiang was only fined a monthly salary, and the rest of her monthly allowance was still given to her. Her summer clothes were also cut, and they happened to be all delivered yesterday. According to Wen Renxiang's character, could she still wear her old clothes when she went out? Although her clothes were also new, the material used was the same material that Wenren's family used to cut summer clothes last year.
The person who sent Wenren Xiang back was indeed someone from Zhang Chengen’s mansion.
Although he was still well behaved, his expression was not very good. What was it? Their daughter fell into the water with Zhang Junliang from Cheng'en Mansion, and she saved their young master. They had physical contact in public, and she was a "lifesaver". The people of Cheng'en Mansion were naturally not ungrateful. However, even if their young master was not married yet, it didn't make sense for him to marry a concubine who was nothing.
"… Your daughter seems to be engaged. Please deal with it quickly. In two days, Lord Zhang Chengen's mansion will come to take her to marry."
That tone was full of contempt. The so-called life-saving grace was just a trick. And that look made it seem that the entire Wen family was the same as Wen Renxiang, shameless and despicable in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Zhang and Han met this mother together. Zhang was so angry that her eyes turned red. She wanted to go up and tear the person's mouth. They were a well-known family, a family of scholars and nobility. How could they be humiliated like this before
Facing Zhang's gaze, the mother smiled contemptuously, as if to say, who are you pretending for
Zhang was almost angry to death. When her eyes fell on Wen Renxiang, she really wished she could become a widow.
Wen Renxiang lowered her head. Today's events were not something she had planned on purpose. She was unwilling to give in and wanted to do something, but she was outnumbered and had little time. It was just an accident and she just went with the flow.
But even so, she was still a little uneasy. However, she thought that her goal had been achieved and she would be away from this family soon. What could her good aunt and good stepmother do to her
Han was very calm. She looked at the people from Lord Zhang Chengen's mansion with no waves in her eyes, just silently. As a result, the mother felt more and more uncomfortable being looked at, and the arrogance on her face faded away little by little. To be honest, she actually knew Han, but many years ago, before she got married, she was also outstanding among the noble ladies. Even if she is not so conspicuous among the noble ladies now, she is not someone who is easy to deal with.
When it was almost done, Han withdrew his gaze, but his eyes fell on Wen Renxiang, "Do you know your mistake?"
Wen Renxiang was a little slow to react. Was he going to attack her now? She knelt down and said, "Aunt, I know I was wrong." She looked weak and helpless, pitiful.
The mother smiled sarcastically again - who were you showing off to with such a cheap trick
Han was unmoved and continued to ask calmly, "What's wrong?"
"I… "
"Let me tell you where you went wrong. He's a grown man, does he need a girl like you to save him? Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, look at what's happening now. You saved him, but he still treats you like dirt under his feet, trampling on you as he pleases, despising you as he pleases, not marrying you but taking you as a concubine, acting like he's doing you a favor. So why would you want to save that kind of man? You should just kick him a few times and push him into the water to drown him."
Not to mention that several people in Lord Zhang Chengen's mansion were shocked, even Zhang from Wenrenxiang was extremely surprised. However, Zhang secretly said in her heart that the sister-in-law is indeed the sister-in-law. Not only is she lucky, but others can't compare to her in other aspects. Suddenly, she was not so angry anymore.
Wen Renxiang looked up at Han, she had never expected such a development. Did the aunt seem to be helping her? No, that was not right. The coldness in the aunt's eyes was too obvious. Wen Renxiang shuddered and suddenly felt that it was a very stupid thing for her to play tricks in front of the aunt. Not to mention that she was still in the Wen family, even if she went to the Zhang Chengen Mansion, it would be easy for the aunt to deal with her.
Wen Renxiang couldn't help but panic and fear, "Aunt..."
"He is self-righteous, ungrateful, and bullies others. What's the point of keeping such a person alive? Wouldn't it be better if he died? Look, if you risk yourself to save such a thing, what good will you get? Are you really stupid?"
"Mrs. Wenren, please be careful with your words." The mother said angrily.
"Be careful with your words? Then, what did I say wrong?" Han's expression was still calm, and she didn't feel that she had said anything she shouldn't have said. "I was just thinking, your young master was pushed into the water by our girl? You also said that he saved people. From what you said, is there any hidden story here? Did our girl do something unspeakable in there? Isn't there anything?" Han suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "Then what do you mean by the Zhang Chengen Mansion? Our girl sacrificed herself to save people, but in your eyes, she is just a cheap bitch who came to your door? Do you really think that with the support of the Queen Mother, you can bully others and do whatever you want, right?"
Han's sudden attack startled everyone, especially when she directly dragged the Queen Mother into it.
It is true that the Zhang family is always more confident than others because of their relationship with the Queen Mother, and their younger generations are indeed very arrogant. Compared with the Zhen family, which is also the Cheng'en Mansion, they are really much more flamboyant and high-profile.
—The most flamboyant person in the Zhen family is Zhen Muyao. But, she is just a girl, so even if she is a little flamboyant, it’s really nothing. Didn’t you see that the emperor is quite tolerant of her, isn’t he
But now, directly accusing the Zhang family of "doing whatever they want by relying on the Queen Mother" is completely different in nature. Not to mention implicitly using the Queen Mother's name to pressure others, they don't even dare to mention it.
It must be said that Han's move of taking the initiative was indeed very skillful.
However, she had the confidence to say so. When Zhang Junliang's biological mother was young, Han had dealt with her a lot. Although they did not become enemies, their relationship was not very good.
Han naturally knew the woman's temper. She was someone who would never suffer any loss. Even if Han didn't know the whole story of today's incident, if Wen Ren Xiang really did something obviously shameful, the woman would not want to take Wen Ren Xiang back. Only if Wen Ren Xiang really saved people and many people saw it, Zhang Junliang would have to take the responsibility. Otherwise, Zhang Junliang would be blamed, and the woman would have to accept it. However, even so, she still refused to suffer any loss and had to step on the Wen family first.
The plan was good, but unfortunately, the Han family was not someone that could be manipulated by anyone. So what even if there was a queen mother
The Zhang family and the Zhen family are both the Cheng'en Mansion, but they really don't know how to advance or retreat, and they don't know how to behave. Haven't you seen that the emperor always favors the Zhen family? Of course, there are factors related to the late queen and Prince Duan, but if the Zhen family is not worth it, Emperor Xuanren will not be completely emotional.
Would the Queen Mother not know about the Zhang family's situation? Knowing that the Zhang family was not doing well, she still unconditionally favored them. Undoubtedly, there would be a rift between her and the Emperor's mother-son relationship.
The Queen Mother was a smart person with a tough temperament. Just as she preferred calm, generous and excellent girls, she did not really like the younger generations of the Zhang family, regardless of whether they were men or women. This showed her character.
Therefore, there are some things that Han said, and there is really nothing to be afraid of.
In this way, the mother's forehead was slightly sweaty. "Madam Wenren, you are too much. The Queen Mother often teaches that everyone in Zhang Chengen's mansion should be self-disciplined and dedicated to the public, cultivate their moral character and mind, and dare not go beyond..."
Han sneered, "Then let me ask, you treat your young master's savior with such a high and mighty attitude. What does it mean to be a favor? Isn't it what your Madam and Young Master meant? In your eyes, this savior has become someone who owes you something. Is this the result of the Queen Mother's teachings?"
"No, Madam Wenren, you misunderstood. This is not what Madam and Young Master meant."
"That's your problem? You're just a servant, who gave you the courage?"
The mother had beads of sweat on her forehead, but she seemed oblivious to it. Her attitude had completely changed from before. "Mrs. Wenren..."
Han waved her hand, "Alright, I don't want to hear what you have to say now." She turned to look at Zhang, "Sister-in-law, go back and pack up Wen Renxiang's things and send her back to her ancestral home immediately. Our daughter doesn't have to get married even if her innocence is ruined. It's not enough to send her to your doorstep to be abused, but you also want to step on our Wenren family. No way."
"I understand, sister-in-law, I'll go right away." Zhang responded and really left.
Mom is not sure if this is a show, but if the Wen family really sends the person away, then the Zhang family will be really ungrateful. Originally, the madam was also severely reprimanded by the Queen Mother because of the teahouse incident. If this incident happened again, wouldn’t it be…
However, a maidservant behind was alert and quickly turned around and "slipped away".
The current situation is no longer something that a few servants like them can handle.
Han smiled sarcastically, not taking it seriously at all, "Please go back. I have something else to do, so I won't entertain you anymore."
Of course she couldn't leave now. If she left and sent the person away right after, it would be a joke. If she didn't do it well, she would definitely be the first to suffer when she returned. Think about the consequences...
Han left as soon as she said she would, and the other people in the Wen family soon knew how powerful she was. Some people couldn't help but think that Xiao Cao was being rude to others, but was it actually Xiao's mother
