As expected, Madam Wen was very disdainful. “What qualifications do you have to negotiate with us?”
I smiled faintly. “Aren’t you afraid that Wen Dian will take a fancy to me? Then the best way is, of course, to let me go. If I stay here and develop feelings for him over time, when will you be able to marry the daughter-in-law you like?”
Madam Wen hadn’t said anything yet, but that beauty had already blushed.
“You’re threatening me!” Madam Wen suddenly understood.
I nodded. “If you insist on saying that, that’s fine too.”
Seeing her expression change, I smiled. “Madam, actually our goals are the same. I want to leave this place, and you all want me to leave this place as well. The end result will be the same. Why should we care about our own goals?”
The beauty hesitated before asking, “You really don’t know why Wen Dian locked you up here?”
I tilted my head and thought for a while before looking at her with a smile. “Perhaps, it’s because I’m good-looking?”
The beauty’s face instantly turned pale.
Madam Wen anxiously said, “Alright, we’ll let you go!”
I smiled and gave Madam Wen a thumbs up. “Madam, you’re so decisive. I really admire you!”
Madam Wen said coldly, “There’s no need for you to flatter me. I’m doing this for my son’s happiness, Fu He! Go and check Wen Dian’s schedule.”
Miss Fu He looked at Madam Wen timidly. “Auntie, Will Wen Dian get angry if you do this? What if Wen Dian has other motives for imprisoning her?”
Madam Wen Glanced at me coldly. “What motive could a man have for forcefully keeping a woman? Can’t you tell? She doesn’t even think highly of our Wen Dian. If such a woman stays here, she’ll be a disaster. I’ve long taught you not to be obedient to men. Men are all scum, and so is my son! The more you treat him well, the less he cares about you. On the contrary, those with thorns are more attractive to him and more likely to arouse his desire to conquer!”
Miss Fu He lowered her head.
I praised her once again, “Old Madam, you’re really wise! Nanxing has learned from you.”
Madam Wen glared at me fiercely, and she pulled fu he’s hand and patted it. “Fu He, don’t worry. We don’t like those women who have strong personalities and are full of schemes. You’re good at everything, but you’re too naive and don’t understand men at all! Sigh, it’s just that your mother has taught you to be too well-mannered and well-behaved. How many losses will you suffer in the future? ! Listen to me. This time, I’ll teach you how to clear the wildflowers around a man. Next time, you’ll have to do it yourself!”
I was amazed.
There’s actually a mother-in-law who teaches her daughter-in-law like this? I really underestimated Madam Wen just now.
From a certain point of view, she was quite similar to Aunt Lan. It was just that Aunt Lan was more interested in her son’s wishes. Madam Wen was obeying her own wishes. She believed that she had chosen the best for her son.
The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Madam Wen glared at me fiercely and patted Fu He’s hand as a form of consolation.
The door was forcefully pushed open. The Mute Girl moved to my side in a panic.
Wen Dian’s face didn’t have that damnable smile on it. Instead, he had a cold expression. I didn’t know if he was really anxious or if he had another face, to begin with.
“Mother, why are you here?” Wen Dian went straight for Madam Wen. Miss Fu He stood up like a little rabbit.
I couldn’t help but shake my head. It was really difficult for Madam Wen. Such a daughter-in-law would have to be taught by her.
Madam Wen’s face was filled with anger. “I came to take a look at your treasure!”
Wen Dian looked at me a little awkwardly.
I shrugged. “I said I’m not. This madam doesn’t believe me!”
