Chapter 3 Wolf Heart
Wen Rugui's face turned gloomy, and her gaze passed over Mrs. Lin and landed on Wen Hao's face.
A girl in her twenties is like an unfurling willow, slender and beautiful.
But Wen Rugui was only bored when he saw her.
This daughter, who was born mute, brought him nothing but shame. But as she got older, she actually started to behave like a frivolous woman.
"Ah, do you know your mistake?"
Mrs. Lin came to her senses and didn't take Wen Rugui's anger to heart: "Master, you know, our grandpa can talk now!"
After my husband heard this great news, he was no longer angry at all.
Wen Rugui frowned when he heard this, and his tone became colder and harsher: "Since you can speak, why don't you reply? Or do you mean you don't think you are at fault?"
The anecdote that the second girl of the Wen family started talking spread as soon as the banquet was over, and soon after, the rumor spread that the second girl of the Wen family climbed over the wall to spy on Prince Jing.
After hearing this, Wen Rugui was furious and returned home to question the crime.
Mrs. Lin was very puzzled by Wen Rugui's sharp voice: "Master, didn't you hear clearly? We can talk now."
"I'm not deaf." Wen Rugui's tone was cold, something Lin rarely saw. "Since she is no different from ordinary people, she should know the rules. If your daughter makes a mistake, you as a mother don't know how to punish her. You want to punish her.
Is she so arrogant and lawless that she ends up harming others and herself?"
Wen Chan, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but persuade: "Father, please calm down -"
"When your parents are talking, don't interrupt."
Wen Chan pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed.
Wen Hao's heart was filled with rage, and she tried her best to stay calm: "My daughter is wrong. She should not have heard Prince Jing calling for help and climbed over the wall to find out what was going on."
"Did you hear Prince Jing calling for help?" Wen Rugui sneered, "That's not what the rumors say."
"What about the rumors?" Wen Hao asked calmly.
Wen Rugui looked at the mother and daughter and snorted coldly: "You said you were spying on Prince Jing and you have evil intentions!"
This statement is enough to ruin a woman's reputation.
Lin's face turned red with anger: "Master, don't listen to those nonsense people. I have a good heart and am worried that something will happen to Prince Jing."
Wen Rugui laughed angrily: "Confused! Even if this is true, who in the world would believe it?"
What the world is willing to believe and spread is always gossip with malice and lust.
Mrs. Lin looked at her angry husband and felt a little strange: "So what if the world doesn't believe it? It's too late for us to feel sorry for Ah Hao being misunderstood by the world. Why are you still angry at Ah Hao?"
"You!" Wen Rugui pointed at Ms. Lin and rolled her sleeves angrily, "What a loving mother but a loser!"
Mrs. Lin was devoted to Wen Rugui, but she couldn't stand the other party's criticism, so she immediately started arguing: "I think the master is stubborn and pedantic. He reads too much..."
The two started arguing, and their voices became louder and louder.
Wen Chan quietly held Wen Hao's hand, looking uneasy.
Warmth becomes more and more peaceful.
Many things do not happen suddenly, but have early signs.
The parents, who were at odds with each other, had been arguing a lot this year, but it was because my grandfather had passed away and the person who made my father worried was no longer there.
Without fear, there is less cover for a wife you don’t love.
Soon, his father will bring his cousin, who was raised outside, back to his home, along with a pair of children. The eldest son, Wen Hui, is even one year older than his sister.
My grandmother came to make decisions for my mother, but my father said that he was forced by his grandfather to marry my mother after he was named on the gold list. He was already married to his cousin at that time, and his grandfather threatened to end his career and hurt his cousin if he did not agree to the marriage.
He had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
When my grandfather was young, he was the king of the mountains and a hero in the forest. Some people don't believe this, but some people do.
Twenty years ago, Old General Lin was still the Duke of Dingguo. With his bandit temperament, he would really do such a thing so that his beloved daughter could marry his sweetheart.
My grandmother angrily accused my father of lying, but my father found witnesses. One was a book boy who accompanied him to Beijing to take the exam, and the other was a clan brother who had just come to Beijing from his hometown.
In this way, my father's words were confirmed.
My grandmother was so angry that she died with hatred. My mother drew her sword and stabbed him to death with her father.
My father had a reason to separate from his mother, and he wanted to be praised by the world for his benevolence and righteousness for not divorcing his wife. Later, he wrote a letter to plead guilty for remarrying his wife after they divorced him. Considering that he was forced, the emperor did not pursue the case.
Next, her cousin Chang became her stepmother.
The mother could not bear such a blow and became crazy. The father took the mother back to his home and wanted to support her until she grew old. This move naturally won a lot of praise.
Even the eldest sister, although she felt sorry for her mother's situation at the time, could also understand her father's difficulties.
Only she knew the truth after meeting her stepmother Chang several times.
Before my father went to Beijing to take the exam, he and Chang were not married at all!
He told lies and slandered his grandfather, but he was just greedy and wanted his mother to make room for his beloved woman so that his only son could have the status of the eldest son.
I just hate that she can't speak and is being watched closely, unable to reveal the truth.
When Wen Hao thinks of these things, he feels a deep hatred.
A slamming of the door brought Wen Hao back from his thoughts.
Mrs. Lin stared blankly at the shaking door curtain, her lips pale.
Wen Chan held Mrs. Lin's hand and comforted her softly: "Mom, don't be angry. Father didn't think about it for a while -"
Wen Hao interrupted her: "Mom, don't you think your father has changed?"
Although the eldest sister's comfort can make the mother feel better, it will only make the sores covered. What she wants to do is to prepare the mother, so that the situation will not come like a bolt from the blue and disrupt the situation.
This time, her father could not imagine living comfortably with his beloved wife and son in the mansion bought by his grandfather. She wanted him to get away as far away as possible.
"Why did Ah Hao say that?" Because Wen Hao couldn't speak before, Mrs. Lin didn't think it was unusual for her to say this, and instead became more patient in listening.
Wen Hao clenched his hands in his sleeves, trying to appear as calm as possible.
If she wants to change those things, she needs to be calm enough so that what she says can be listened to, instead of acting like a little girl acting hot.
"In my daughter's impression, my father and you have never had a blushing relationship in these years. However, in the past year or so, my father has become angry with you several times."
Mrs. Lin was startled and said subconsciously: "Your grandfather passed away and my mother was in a bad mood, so she always argued with your father."
Wen Hao shook his head: "My mother has experienced the pain of losing her father. My father should be more considerate. Why do I care about you instead?"
Lin couldn't help but be asked.
On the way back, Wen Chan took advantage of the fact that no one else was around and whispered to Wen Hao, who was lying on the maid's back: "Second sister, don't say that to your mother in the future, lest your mother and father will have a rift."
Wen Hao looked at Wen Chan in silence for a while and asked softly: "Sister, will you believe what I say?"
Wen Chan curved her lips and smiled: "Of course I believe it."
