âHow did he humiliate Third Miss?â Just as the Patriarch of the Wen family was thinking and feeling extremely conflicted, an elder of the Wen family asked the head butler curiously.
âUh! Thisâ¦â The Wen familyâs head butler was stunned. He didnât know either! He had heard it from others.
âIâm just saying that Third Miss will be even more beautiful if she doesnât speak.â Leng Ruoxue saw that the Head Butler couldnât answer, so she replied kindly on his behalf.
âPfft!â Leng Ruoxueâs words actually made some of the Wen family elders laugh.
âUh! Only this?â At this moment, the Patriarch of the Wen family came back to his senses and could not help but ask.
âOf course, Iâm just making a suggestion. I donât know if Third Miss is willing to listen,â Leng Ruoxue said innocently.
âPatriarch Wen, is this considered humiliation?â Leng Ruoxue turned around and asked very innocently.
âNot really.â The Patriarch of the Wen family sighed and said helplessly.
âHehe, Patriarch Wen is so sensible. As expected of the Patriarch of the family,â Leng Ruoxue said casually.
âMiss Leng, this matter doesnât count as you humiliating my granddaughter. What about the poisoning?â The Patriarch of the Wen family took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible.
âPoison what?â Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid. She didnât poison him! She just met a well and let Fiery swim in it.
âSince last night, our Wen family has collectively suffered from diarrhea. After our investigation, we found that someone poisoned the water,â the Wen familyâs Patriarch said bluntly.
âAh! Thereâs such a thing? Youâre really pitiful. However, are you sure itâs poison and not diarrhea medicine?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
âOf course. Moreover, this is a poison that weâve never seen before,â the Patriarch of the Wen family said with certainty. There happened to be someone in the family who was proficient in poison, but that person was helpless against this poison.
âOh!â Leng Ruoxue replied faintly and didnât continue.
âMiss Leng, what do you say about this?â The Patriarch of the Wen family asked stubbornly, the anger in his heart surging to the top of his head.
âWhat does the Patriarch of the Wen family want me to say? Admit that I poisoned him?â Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile.
âYouâre the most suspicious. Thereâs no one else in the Wen family except you,â the Wen family Patriarch said.
âThen canât it be made by your insider? Donât forget, I ate dinner last night too,â Leng Ruoxue reminded.
âThen why are you fine?â The head of the Wen family gritted his teeth and asked. The members of the Wen family were about to collapse from diarrhea, but the woman in front of him was feeling refreshed. How could he not be suspicious?
âHow do you know Iâm fine?â Leng Ruoxue asked.
âUh!â The Patriarch of the Wen family was stunned and did not know what to say.
âYou didnât send anyone to watch me. How do you know Iâm fine? Besides, even if I have diarrhea, I wonât broadcast it everywhere!â Leng Ruoxue asked patiently.
Even though he still doubted the authenticity of Leng Ruoxueâs words, the head of the Wen family had to admit that her words made sense. Hence, he fell silent again.
âMiss Leng, this might be a misunderstanding. You can go back now.â The Patriarch of the Wen family was silent for a long time, but he could not think of a reason.
âAlright, Iâll go back first. By the way, Patriarch Wen, Iâm already full from breakfast here. You donât have to send me anything. Just send me lunch,â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Then, she stood up and swaggered out of the main hall.
As soon as Leng Ruoxue left, the Wen familyâs butler couldnât help but ask, âPatriarch, are we going to let her leave just like that?â
âWhat else?â the Patriarch of the Wen family asked. Leng Ruoxue was brought back by the Old Ancestor. Would he dare to touch her?
âBut sheâs really the biggest suspect.â The Wen familyâs head butler refused to give up.
âDonât say anymore. She was brought back by the Old Ancestor. Unless thereâs evidence, we canât touch her.â The Wen familyâs master thought for a moment and said this fact.
Oh! This matter was still considered a secret in the Wen family. The Old Ancestor had only told him about this matter, and he had not told anyone about it. However, the Old Ancestor had only told him that he had brought someone back and arranged for her to stay in the courtyard. This was the first time he had seen this person today, and he had only found out that the other party was a woman. Sigh! He wondered what that Old Ancestor wanted to do by bringing back such a peerless beauty!
âAh! What?â The Patriarch of the Wen familyâs words were like a bomb, causing the butler and elders to be dizzy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPatriarch, are you sure?â The Wen familyâs butler said fearfully. The Old Ancestor had brought him back. Oh my! Had he caused big trouble? Boohoo⦠The Old Ancestor wouldnât blame him, right?!
âYes, a while ago, the Old Ancestor personally told me that he brought someone back and placed him in the courtyard. Because the person was brought back by the Old Ancestor, I didnât tell you guys,â the Wen familyâs Patriarch explained. In fact, he had heard from the maidservant who delivered food to Leng Ruoxue that there was a barrier outside that personâs room, so he didnât tell others about this because he thought that the Old Ancestor didnât want others to know of her existence.
However, when he saw that Leng Ruoxue could actually come out of the room today, he guessed that the Old Ancestor had allowed her to come out. Therefore, he told these elders Leng Ruoxueâs identity as a reminder!
âPatriarch, since the person was brought back by the Old Ancestor, what should we do?â An elder asked awkwardly.
âI donât know. The Old Ancestor didnât say anything, so we should try not to provoke her!â The Wen familyâs master thought for a while and said. Sigh! Perhaps he should go see the Old Ancestor and test him.
âPatriarch, should we send someone to monitor her?â The Wen familyâs butler asked again.
âWhy are you monitoring her? I said that unless thereâs evidence, we canât touch her.â Patriarch Wen repeated. Alas! Today, he realized that the usually capable butler had actually become stupid.
âBut I still feel that sheâs the most suspicious,â the Head Butler said softly.
âSigh! Forget it, then send a few smarter ones to monitor her. However, donât alert her and let her discover you.â The Wen familyâs head sighed.
