After Xiaocao was formally introduced to the people of the Wenren Family, everyone's attention was focused on Xiaocao.
Xiaocao's behavior doesn't seem like that of a commoner at all. She behaves with moderation and knows when to advance and retreat. Just as Wen Renxu said, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a noble lady raised in a large family.
Those who saw her at the door of Wenren's house yesterday were all very surprised. She could change her clothes, but what about her temperament? Originally, I thought that a pheasant was a pheasant, and even if she changed into a phoenix, she would still be unpresentable and petty. The fact is that she is a phoenix in her bones, and changing her clothes is just to make her inside and outside complement each other.
The people who had just seen her were also surprised, but nodded in their hearts. After all, she was the Wen family's flesh and blood. Even if she was living outside, she should have such a demeanor.
No matter what they thought, there was old Madam Wenren keeping the peace, looking very friendly and extremely satisfied with the fourth girl. Plus, Wenren Taibo and Han could not hide their joy. Externally, they relied on Wenren Taibo, while internally, Han was in control. With these three big powers backing them up, anyone who showed an inappropriate expression at this time would be a fool, not to mention saying something inappropriate.
Based on this, the whole process went smoothly.
Second uncle Wenren Zhongyong had an indifferent expression on his face and was perfunctory throughout the whole process, with disgust and impatience in his eyes, which was expected.
There was another person that Xiaocao noticed, his fifth uncle Wenren Shaojian. He was in his thirties, and seemed to still have a bit of a dandy air, being casual and unfocused. Even when old lady Wenren looked over at him, he was still smiling.
But I don’t know if it was Xiaocao’s illusion, but I always felt that it was a bit weird when everyone looked at this fifth uncle.
Xiaocao didn't delve into it too deeply. After all, some things would be known sooner or later.
The family dinner officially began. Out of habit, Xiaocao stepped forward to support old lady Wenren. Then she realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her. The expressions on their faces were so obvious that she could clearly know what they meant. Xiaocao realized that she seemed to have done something stupid and was about to be pricked like a hedgehog. Her face was a little stiff and she wanted to retract her hand.
However, Madam Wenren held her hand and put it on her arm.
What can the grass do? It can only bite the bullet and be "stupid", lowering its eyebrows and eyes, and showing its thick nerves to the extreme.
Dozens of people were walking quietly, in complete silence.
When they reached the dining hall, the atmosphere gradually relaxed and Xiaocao let out a breath.
Just as he was about to help the old lady sit down, Wenren Zhongyong's scolding voice came from the door, "Who are you looking at with such a sad face all day long? You don't even know how to dress yourself up when you go out, like a ghost. Not only do you annoy me in the house, but you also embarrass me outside. Or are you deliberately pretending to be such a ghost so that others will think I'm treating you harshly? If you want to be sick, just stay in the room and don't come out. Just die directly, that would be less troublesome. ..."
Mrs. Du covered her chest with her hands, her face was pale and her body was shaking.
Wen Renxi supported her mother, with undisguised hatred in her eyes, and said sharply, "Dad—"
But before she could finish the rest of the words, Wenren Zhongyong slapped her in the face, causing her to fall onto her mother. Mrs. Du was already in poor health, and she lost her balance after being hit, and fell to the ground with Wenren Xi.
"You bastard, what are you looking at? I provided you with food, clothing, and education, and now that you have grown up and become independent, you side with your good-for-nothing mother and even bear a grudge against me, right? If I had known this would happen, you should have been drowned when you were born." He cursed and kicked him at the same time.
Wenren Xi screamed and hurried to help her mother. She had just stood up halfway, but because of the kick, she fell on her mother again.
The incident happened unexpectedly, therefore, others had no time to dissuade him. After all, Wenren Zhongyong had scolded Du in front of other people before, and other people's persuasion was of no avail. Du had always adhered to the principle of keeping the peace. People like Wenren Taibo, Han, and others just watched with frowns. Of course, there were even people who watched the show, such as some people from the second and third rooms. They just didn't expect that Wenren Zhongyong would go even further today, and hitting people was beyond their expectations.
When Wenren Zhongyong was about to make another move, Wenren Taibo stepped forward in time to stop him, "Second brother, what are you crazy about?" He frowned and scolded him, "You are really capable of hitting your wife and daughter?"
Wenren Zhongyong brushed him away impatiently, "Brother, although you are the eldest brother, other things are fine, but when your younger brother teaches someone in his room a lesson, you want to interfere. Isn't this overreaching?"
Wenren Taibo was so angry that he almost fell down.
"What did you say?" Old Madam Wenren had already come out of the house.
Wenren Zhongyong, who originally had a mocking look on his face, immediately became timid when he saw his own mother, "Mom..." His voice became seven points weaker.
The old lady waved her hand and slapped him, "What happened in your room? Your brother can't intervene, so can I? You studied the books of sages and learned the way of a gentleman, but what have you learned? Normally, if it didn't come to my attention, I would just turn a blind eye and not bother to pay attention. I didn't expect you to be so rampant. You dared to speak ill of others and hit people in front of so many people. I don't know what kind of character you are in private." The old lady became more and more angry, and slapped him again, "I haven't laid a hand on you brothers for decades. Today I will beat you to death, this evil creature."
Wenren Zhongyong is young and strong, so it would be easy for him to hide, but when my mother attacked, he didn't dare to hide at all.
"Mom, mom, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. Be careful not to get angry and harm your health. I got angry outside today and lost control of myself. There won't be a next time. Mom, mom, calm down..."
Although Wenren Taibo was also very angry, he still tried to comfort Madam Wenren.
Madam Wenren was in poor health and had little strength in her hands. After hitting her a few more times, she became exhausted and out of breath.
Wenren Taibo supported her carefully, comforting her and helping her to calm down.
Those who were originally watching the show now held their tails between their legs and dared not breathe, and the little daughter of Mrs. Du, who was frightened and crying, was pulled aside and comforted.
Mrs. Du was helped up by Wenrenxi and Mrs. Han, but she looked very unwell. Xiaocao was busy treating her.
On Xiaocao's wrist, there was originally a very beautiful but not very valuable bracelet. The surface of the bracelet was composed of a streamlined pattern of beads smaller than rice grains. But it turned out that each small bead was a shiny silver needle when pulled out.
Xiaocao acted steadily, accurately and quickly. Other things did not distract her at all. Even if the situation was serious, she would not show it on her face. She gave people the impression of being calm and reliable, and people would unconsciously ignore other things and give her wholehearted trust, without even thinking of hiring another doctor.
No matter what other people's feelings about the grass were, they all concentrated and held their breath at this moment.
Even Madam Wenren, after noticing it, did not scold her son again.
