Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 4 Wolf Heart

  Wen Rugui's complexion was heavy, and his eyes crossed Lin's and fell on Wen Hao's face.

   The young girl in 28 years is like a stretched willow, slender and beautiful.

   Ke Wenru is only bored after seeing him.

  This daughter was born unable to speak, and what she brought to him was shame. But this year is getting older, and he has learned the behavior of a frivolous woman.

   "Well, do you know what's wrong?"

   Lin shi came back to his senses and didn't take Wen Rugui's anger to heart: "Master, did you know that we can talk now!"

   Husband listened to this great news, and there will be no anger anymore.

  Wen Rugui frowned upon hearing this, and her tone became more and more cold: "Since you can speak, why don't you answer? Or do you think you are wrong?"

  The anecdote that the second girl of the Wen family spoke up spread as soon as the banquet was over, followed by rumors that the second girl Wen climbed the wall and peeped at Prince Jing.

  Wen Rugui was half-hearted after hearing about it, and went back to the mansion to ask the guilt.

   Lin Shi was very puzzled by Wen Rugui's harsh voice: "Master, didn't you hear me clearly, we can talk now."

"I'm not deaf." Wen Rugui's tone was indifferent, something Lin's rarely seen, "Since he is no different from ordinary people, he should know the rules. If your daughter makes a mistake, you don't know how to reprimand you as a mother. Is she so arrogant and lawless that she ends up harming others and herself?"

   Wen Chan, who has been silent all this time, couldn't help but persuade: "Father, you put out the fire—"

   "Parents are talking, don't interrupt."

  Wen Chan pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed.

  Wen Hao's heart was full of anger, and he tried his best to keep calm: "My daughter is wrong, she shouldn't hear Prince Jing's call for help, so she went over the wall to find out."

   "I heard Prince Jing cry for help?" Wen Rugui sneered, "The rumors are not like this."

   "What do the rumors say?" Wen Hao asked calmly.

  Wen Rugui looked at the mother and daughter, and snorted coldly, "You said you were peeping at Prince Jing, your mind is not right!"

   This statement is enough to ruin a woman's boudoir reputation.

   Lin's face flushed with anger: "Master, don't listen to those talkative people, Ah Hao has a good heart and is worried that Prince Jing will have an accident."

  Wen Rugui smiled angrily: "Confused! Even if this is the case, who in the world would believe it?"

  What the world is willing to believe and spread is always those gossip with malice and peach color.

  Lin looked at her angry husband and felt a little strange: "What if the world doesn't believe it? Ah Hao was misunderstood by the world, it's too late for us to feel sorry for him, why is the master still angry with Ah Hao?"

   "You!" Wen Rugui pointed at Lin Shi, and slapped his sleeves angrily, "It's really a loving mother and a loser!"

   Lin's wholeheartedness towards Wen Rugui, but he couldn't stand the accusation of the other party, and even quarreled: "I think the master is stubborn and pedantic, and he has read a lot..."

   The two quarreled, and the noise grew louder.

  Wen Chan quietly held Wen Hao's hand, looking uneasy.

  Wen Hao became more and more calm.

  Many things do not happen suddenly, but there are early signs.

   Qi Mei's parents have had a lot of disputes over the past year, but because of the death of my grandfather, the person who made my father scruples is no longer there.

  Without the fear, there will be less cover up for the wife who does not love.

   Soon, the father will bring the cousin who was raised outside the house back to the house, along with a pair of children. The eldest son, Wen Hui, is even a year older than his sister.

  My grandmother came to call for my mother, but my father said that he was forced by my grandfather to marry my mother after I was named on the Golden List. He had already married his cousin at that time, and his grandfather threatened to cut off his future and hurt his cousin if he did not agree to the marriage.

   He had no choice but to accept marriage.

  My grandfather used to occupy the mountains as king when he was young and was a hero in the green forest. Some people do not believe this statement, and some people believe it.

   Twenty years ago, the old general Lin was still Duke Dingguo. With his bandit temperament, it was really possible to do such a thing in order to marry his beloved daughter.

  My grandmother angrily scolded my father for being slanderous, but my father found witnesses, one was the book boy who accompanied him to Beijing to take the exam, and the other was the clan brother who just came to Beijing from his hometown.

   In this way, his father's words were fulfilled.

  My grandmother was so angry that she didn't come up with a mouthful of phlegm and died. The mother drew the sword to die with her father, and stabbed the father.

  Father had a reason to divorce his mother, and he was praised by the world for benevolence and righteousness for not divorcing his wife. After that, he wrote a letter to plead guilty for terminating his wife and marrying again. Remembering that he was persecuted, the emperor did not pursue it.

   Next, her cousin Chang became her stepmother.

  Mother couldn't bear the blow and became crazy. The father took the mother back to the mansion and wanted to support her for the rest of her life, which naturally won a lot of praise.

   is the eldest sister. Although she felt distressed about her mother's situation at the time, she could also understand her father's difficulties.

   She was the only one who 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 was full of lies and slandered his grandfather, but he was not greedy enough to want his mother to make room for his beloved woman, and let his only son have the status of the eldest son.

   I just hate her for being unable to speak, and being watched closely, unable to expose the truth.

  Wen Hao thought of this, and it was a deep hatred.

  咣 slammed the door, pulling back Wen Hao's thoughts.

   Lin stared blankly at the swaying curtain, his lips pale.

  Wen Chan held Lin's hand and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't be angry, my father didn't figure it out for a while—"

  Wen Hao interrupted her: "Mother, don't you think your father has changed?"

   Elder sister's comfort can make mother feel better, but it will only cover the poisonous sore. What she has to do is to prepare her mother so that things don't come crashing down like a bolt from the blue.

  This time, the father would never think of living comfortably in the mansion bought by his grandfather with his beloved wife and son. She wanted him to go as far as she wanted.

   "Why did Ah Hao say that?" Because Wen Hao couldn't speak before, Lin Shi didn't realize it was abnormal for her to say this, but she listened more patiently.

  Wen Hao clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, trying to appear as calm as possible.

  If she wants to change those things, she has to be calm enough so that what she says can be heard by others, instead of acting like a little girl.

   "Daughter's impression is that my father and you have never blushed over the years. But over the past year, my father has been angry with you several times."

   Lin was startled, and subconsciously said: "It was your grandfather who passed away, and your 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, and my father should be more considerate. Why does he care about you?"

   Lin couldn't help being asked.

   On the way back, Wen Chan whispered to Wen Hao, who was lying on the back of the maid, while there was no one else around: "Second sister, don't say such things to mother in the future, lest mother and father have a bad relationship."

  Wen Hao looked at Wen Chan for a while and asked softly, "Eldest sister, will you believe me?"

  Wen Chan curled her lips and smiled: "Of course I believe it."

   "Then eldest sister, come back to Yingju with me, I have something to tell you."
