The man who came had a tall and straight figure, like a pine or bamboo, and was dressed in a navy blue robe. He had a dignified appearance and a handsome face.
His name is Wen Changyun, and he is her elder brother and the eldest son of the Duke’s Mansion.
“Xiao Wu, do you know your mistake?”
Wen Changyun looked at Wen Si with cold eyes.
The feeling of being superior made Wen Si almost unable to breathe.
In the past, she was stupid and thought that it was because Wen Changyun was tall that she felt this way.
But later, when she saw with her own eyes that Wen Changyun bent over, lowered his head, and looked Wen Yue in the eye, just to listen to her grievances, Wen Si finally realized that in her eldest brother’s eyes, she had always been a person of inferior status.
“I don’t understand what you are saying, and I don’t know what I did wrong. Please explain it to me.”
Wen Si had noticed the crown and robes in his hands.
So there is no need to guess why he came.
But so what?
Without asking a single question, you want her to admit her mistake?
Why?
Wen Changyun’s eyes were cold, but Wen Si’s eyes were even colder than his.
Wen Changyun frowned slightly, looking unhappy, “When did you develop such a temper? You are so willful and unbridled, and you don’t know what to do.”
“I just didn’t know where I was wrong, and that made you angry? You said ‘you are so willful and wanton, you don’t know what you are doing’, and it really makes me feel more wronged than Dou E.”
“You still dare to say you don’t know where you went wrong? What is this?”
Wen Changyun was furious and threw the crown and clothes at Wen Si’s feet. “Your second brother said that you cut it up yourself. I didn’t believe it at first. After all, this is your most precious crown and clothes. But now seeing your temper, I can’t help but believe it.”
“Yes, I cut it up myself. I just cut off a piece of unwanted clothing. If you think it’s my fault, then you can think whatever you want.”
In Wen Changyun’s eyes, no matter what she did, it was wrong.
Unlike Wen Changyun’s guess that she would make excuses, Wen Si not only did not make excuses, but admitted it without hesitation.
“Clothes no one wants?”
Wen Changyun became more and more angry. “This set of crown and clothes was specially made for you by me and your other three brothers. You kept saying that you cherished it very much, but now you say it’s clothes that no one wants?”
“right!”
Wen Si turned her head abruptly, her eyes looking straight into Wen Changyun’s, and she said word by word:
“No one wants it.”
In her heart, she kept telling herself to calm down. If she went against people like Wen Changyun, she would not get any good results.
She just needs to endure, endure, endure until she leaves this home…
“What? Big Brother is angry? Want to punish me? Want to use family rules on me, or want to force me to kneel down?”
The smile on Wen Si’s face grew wider and wider.
She seemed to have split into two people.
One was telling himself to stay calm in his heart, while the other was going crazy out of control in his mind.
In the end, she chose to let herself go and vent.
Punish if you want to.
It’s nothing more than kneeling again at the coming-of-age ceremony.
It’s not like he hadn’t been forced to kneel by Wen Changyun before.
“Don’t you like obedient sisters the most, brother? Okay, as long as you say so, I will kneel down for you immediately. Kneel here? Or kneel outside? Or at the coming-of-age ceremony? As long as you say so, I will kneel down for you in public. Or do you think this is not enough…”
Wen Si provoked Wen Changyun one sentence after another until Wen Changyun could no longer bear it –
“That’s enough!”
Wen Changyun looked at her in doubt and asked, “Wen Si, are you crazy?”
Wen Si’s current appearance almost overturned Wen Changyun’s previous perception of this sister.
In the past, she obviously respected her brother so much and was so obedient. Although she later gradually became more thoughtful, vying for favor, and jealous, she had never been as disrespectful to her brother as she is today.
It’s like I’m crazy.
Wen Si was interrupted and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Facing Wen Changyun’s puzzled gaze, she said coldly: “Yes, I am crazy.”
I’m driven crazy by you.
Wen Changyun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Wen Si’s unusually cold eyes, he slowly frowned and remained silent for a long time.
It was not until Wen Si became impatient that he spoke: “The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin, let’s go.”
But he seemed to be afraid that Wen Si would also go crazy at her coming-of-age ceremony, so he added a warning:
“There are many visitors in the front yard. You…be careful about your words and actions and don’t embarrass our Wen family.”
When Wen Changyun walked a few meters and did not hear any footsteps behind him, he looked back and found that Wen Si had not moved at all.
“Why don’t you leave?”
“Second brother won’t allow it.”
“Nonsense.”
Wen Changyun just thought that Wen Si was just being petty, “Today is an important day for you and Xiaoliu, you can’t be absent.”
Wen Si looked at him with a half-smile: “I said it was Second Brother who didn’t allow it, but Big Brother, are you forcing me? If so, then when I go there later, if Second Brother wants to beat me, will Big Brother stop him for me? If not, then I’d better not go, to avoid getting beaten again.”
Wen Changyun became impatient, “Your second brother has a bad temper, but he would never hit anyone for no reason…”
“Brother, are you blind?”
Wen Si interrupted him with a sharp remark and turned her head to the side, “My face is still swollen. Is it that Big Brother can’t see it, or that Big Brother doesn’t care to look at it?”
Wen Changyun looked carefully and found that Wen Si’s face was indeed a little red and swollen. If she walked out like this, everyone would be able to see it, and who knows what unpleasant things might be said about her in the future.
Just now he was so angry about Wen Si cutting up her crown and robes that he didn’t notice these things at all.
Seeing this now, even he couldn’t help but frown again.
Did Zi Chen really hit Xiao Wu?
He knew that his second brother had a violent temper and that Xiaowu was indeed not as well-behaved as Xiaoliu. But even if Xiaowu had made a mistake, he shouldn’t have beaten her on such an important occasion as today. Couldn’t he wait until later to beat her?
You really don’t know the seriousness of the matter.
Wen Changyun, whose first reaction was to protect the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion, thought so.
Wen Changyun originally wanted to ask Wen Si to put on some makeup to cover the red marks on her face, but someone came from outside to urge her to do so.
He had no choice but to say to Wen Si: “Be careful to block it yourself later. If someone asks you, just say you fell. Do you understand?”
Fell?
How could he fall and only hit half of his face, leaving a slap mark?
Wen Si was not disappointed at Wen Changyun’s reaction at all. She had even become accustomed to it.
“Okay, as long as Big Brother stops Second Brother for me, I will definitely do as Big Brother says.”
She wanted to see if everyone was as blind as the Wen family.
After a while, Wen Si followed Wen Changyun to the front yard.
At this time, the front yard of the Duke’s Mansion was already bustling with people.
As soon as Wen Si appeared, eyes from all directions fell on her.
Among them there are those who despise, mock, and enjoy the show.
Wen Si keenly caught one of the malicious gazes, and when she looked over, she saw Wen Yue standing with a handsome, resolute and cold man.
The owner of that malicious gaze was exactly that man.
His name is Cui Shaoze, and he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
He is also her childhood sweetheart and fiancé.
