Chapter 902: The Depressed Patriarch of the Wen Family (2)
“How did he humiliate Third Miss?” 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.
“Uh! This…” The Wen family’s head butler was stunned. He didn’t know either! He had heard it from others.
“I’m just saying that Third Miss will be even more beautiful if she doesn’t speak.” Leng Ruoxue saw that the Head Butler couldn’t answer, so she replied kindly on his behalf.
“Pfft!” Leng Ruoxue’s words actually made some of the Wen family elders laugh.
“Uh! Only this?” At this moment, the Patriarch of the Wen family came back to his senses and could not help but ask.
“Of course, I’m just making a suggestion. I don’t know if Third Miss is willing to listen,” Leng Ruoxue said innocently.
“Patriarch Wen, is this considered humiliation?” Leng Ruoxue turned around and asked very innocently.
“Not really.” The Patriarch of the Wen family sighed and said helplessly.
“Hehe, Patriarch Wen is so sensible. As expected of the Patriarch of the family,” Leng Ruoxue said casually.
“Miss Leng, this matter doesn’t count as you humiliating my granddaughter. What about the poisoning?” The Patriarch of the Wen family took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible.
/
“Poison what?” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid. She didn’t poison him! She just met a well and let Fiery swim in it.
“Since last night, our Wen family has collectively suffered from diarrhea. After our investigation, we found that someone poisoned the water,” the Wen family’s Patriarch said bluntly.
“Ah! There’s such a thing? You’re really pitiful. However, are you sure it’s poison and not diarrhea medicine?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“Of course. Moreover, this is a poison that we’ve never seen before,” 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.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue replied faintly and didn’t continue.
“Miss Leng, what do you say about this?” The Patriarch of the Wen family asked stubbornly, the anger in his heart surging to the top of his head.
“What does the Patriarch of the Wen family want me to say? Admit that I poisoned him?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile.
“You’re the most suspicious. There’s no one else in the Wen family except you,” the Wen family Patriarch said.
“Then can’t it be made by your insider? Don’t forget, I ate dinner last night too,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Then why are you fine?” 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?
“How do you know I’m fine?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Uh!” The Patriarch of the Wen family was stunned and did not know what to say.
“You didn’t send anyone to watch me. How do you know I’m fine? Besides, even if I have diarrhea, I won’t broadcast it everywhere!” Leng Ruoxue asked patiently.
Even though he still doubted the authenticity of Leng Ruoxue’s words, the head of the Wen family had to admit that her words made sense. Hence, he fell silent again.
“Miss Leng, this might be a misunderstanding. You can go back now.” The Patriarch of the Wen family was silent for a long time, but he could not think of a reason.
“Alright, I’ll go back first. By the way, Patriarch Wen, I’m already full from breakfast here. You don’t have to send me anything. Just send me lunch,” 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 family’s butler couldn’t help but ask, “Patriarch, are we going to let her leave just like that?”
“What else?” the Patriarch of the Wen family asked. Leng Ruoxue was brought back by the Old Ancestor. Would he dare to touch her?
“But she’s really the biggest suspect.” The Wen family’s head butler refused to give up.
“Don’t say anymore. She was brought back by the Old Ancestor. Unless there’s evidence, we can’t touch her.” The Wen family’s 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!
“Ah! What?” The Patriarch of the Wen family’s words were like a bomb, causing the butler and elders to be dizzy.
“Patriarch, are you sure?” The Wen family’s butler said fearfully. The Old Ancestor had brought him back. Oh my! Had he caused big trouble? Boohoo… The Old Ancestor wouldn’t blame him, right?!
“Yes, 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 didn’t tell you guys,” the Wen family’s Patriarch explained. In fact, he had heard from the maidservant who delivered food to Leng Ruoxue that there was a barrier outside that person’s room, so he didn’t tell others about this because he thought that the Old Ancestor didn’t 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 Ruoxue’s ident.i.ty as a reminder!
“Patriarch, since the person was brought back by the Old Ancestor, what should we do?” An elder asked awkwardly.
“I don’t know. The Old Ancestor didn’t say anything, so we should try not to provoke her!” The Wen family’s master thought for a while and said. Sigh! Perhaps he should go see the Old Ancestor and test him.
“Patriarch, should we send someone to monitor her?” The Wen family’s butler asked again.
“Why are you monitoring her? I said that unless there’s evidence, we can’t touch her.” Patriarch Wen repeated. Alas! Today, he realized that the usually capable butler had actually become stupid.
“But I still feel that she’s the most suspicious,” the Head Butler said softly.
“Sigh! Forget it, then send a few smarter ones to monitor her. However, don’t alert her and let her discover you.” The Wen family’s head sighed.
