Wen Jiaojiao didn't eat as much as usual at lunch. Although there were all her favorite foods on the table, her appetite today was not particularly good. She felt her stomach was always sore and bloated and she was a little dizzy.
When he almost felt full after eating, Wen Jiaojiao put down his chopsticks and sat down to watch others eat.
She had a birthday party where most of the nobles from the capital came, and the banquet was arranged from the main hall to outside the courtyard.
Those sitting in the main hall are some of the closer relatives of the Xiao family, as well as those with relatively high status, such as the King of Qing'an.
She didn't expect that Wen Miaoran would come over to attend her birthday party. She could feel from Wen Yanxi and even Su Yilian that their attitudes towards her were friendly, they wanted to be friends, and they had a kind of attitude towards her.
Good emotions are conveyed to her.
But Wen Miaoran didn't. She couldn't feel that sense of intimacy. In the past, she had always regarded her as the heroine of the original book and avoided her in everything. Even if she saw her, she couldn't say a few words. There was only a few words between the two of them.
There is a layer of blood connection.
I don’t know if it’s because Wen Miaoran is the heroine of the original book, but Wen Ruyue has always hated her, so Wen Jiaojiao always feels an inexplicable feeling of resistance when he sees her, and a chill of fear rises from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of fear is not brought about by herself, but seems to have a layer of haze that Wen Jiaojiao cannot see clearly. Whenever she sees Wen Miaoran, this haze will float in her heart.
Wen Jiaojiao could only attribute this feeling to Wen Ruyue's disgust for this concubine, and then brought this emotion to her.
Wen Miaoran came over to attend her birthday party this time. Wen Jiaojiao thought that either his father or Aunt Ye called him here.
Although there are many bad things about her father, she is relatively his only legitimate daughter. She used to be seen hanging out in front of him, and she always wanted to get his attention. Now she no longer hangs out in front of him.
, he suddenly understood that this little daughter had been so close to him.
And he has lost the opportunity to negotiate terms with Xiao Yurong, because Wen Jiaojiao is Xiao Yurong's only weakness. If Wen Jiaojiao gives up on him as his father, Xiao Yurong will naturally not care about him anymore.
Xiao Yurong has a very tough character, and that's true. Now he has tried every means to see her, but she has rejected her. He has made up his mind to never have any contact with him again.
He could only break through with this little daughter. No matter what, she only had him as a father, and she had longed for his father's love.
So Wen Tingshan asked Wen Miaoran to come over to attend her birthday party.
Aunt Ye felt somewhat guilty towards Xiao Yurong and Wen Jiaojiao. When Xiao Yurong let her in, she now reconciled with Wen Tingshan and returned her body contract to her.
Ye Lanxin is also a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books. She understands the principles of human nature and many great principles. She took advantage of this.
So this time she also told Wen Miaoran to let her attend her sister's birthday party, and also prepared two congratulatory gifts for her.
Wen Miaoran was here, and she had nothing to say to Wen Jiaojiao. Seeing the once domineering and domineering girl sitting at the same table with her siblings and friends for dinner, she felt as if she was in another world.
Is that sweet, smiling girl really her?
In the past, Wen Jiaojiao had almost no friends and had a perverse and unruly personality. Although he was in poor health, he was half of the Xiao family and had completely inherited the Xiao family's personality.
But seeing that even the Xiang brothers and sisters she had beaten were sitting with her, it really surprised her, and she felt a certain amount of unspeakable envy and a hint of melancholy in her heart.
She remembered what Wen Yanxi had said before, that they had liked her and truly treated her as a good sister, but since when did everything change.
Wen Yanxi was right, she had never looked directly at the darkness in her heart. At this time, she was even thinking that she was a concubine, and those noble ladies from aristocratic families never bothered to be friends with her, nor did they bother to talk to her.
in one piece.
However, Wen Yanxi is also a concubine, and Xiang Wenzhu's mother is also a married woman, but they are able to navigate the circle of noble ladies from aristocratic families with ease.
In the past, Wen Miaoran told herself that those noble ladies were just people with a high self-esteem and indulgent personality based on their status and family background.
Wen Miaoran has a very strong self-esteem. She hides herself with a cold and aloof temperament on the surface, hiding her humble feeling about her status as a concubine. She always thinks that she is a concubine just like Wen Yanxi, and the relationship between her mother and father is the only one.
It is the best, but why is Wen Yanxi so comfortable? Even when she is standing among those noble ladies, she still holds her head high.
It turns out that from the bottom of her heart, she herself despises the status of a concubine. When she looks at Wen Jiaojiao, who has no worries, she always thinks that her mother-in-law should also be the main wife...
She doesn't care on the surface, but deep down she is always unwilling.
Wen Miaoran felt bitter in her heart and didn't want to face the bad side of herself.
"If you don't want to come, then you won't come. Why force yourself?" Zhao Yunji turned his head and said, looking at Wen Miaoran's lack of interest.
Wen Miaoran put down the wine glass in her hand and said coldly: "Ruyue is my sister after all. Of course I will come to her birthday."
Zhao Yunji glanced at the fat girl and held Wen Miaoran's hand, "If you come to her birthday party, she will definitely not go to your birthday party. Since we don't like each other, why bother."
Zhao Yunji leaned close to Wen Miaoran's ear, looked at her cold face, and chuckled, "Whatever she has, I will give it to you, so why should you be jealous of your sister."
Wen Miaoran took her hand out of Zhao Yunji's, "Who said I was jealous of her?"
Zhao Yunji took Wen Miaoran's unfinished wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His eyes flashed at Wen Miaoran: "You don't have to hide your thoughts in front of me. It's very hard to hide these things. Look at that
Fat girl, it’s so refreshing to be exposed openly.”
"But it doesn't matter if you want to hide it. I know everything about you, but I don't want to see you looking so depressed. Young Master, I just want you to be happy."
Hearing Zhao Yunji's words, Wen Miaoran lowered her head slightly. Zhao Yunji knew that only when she lowered her head did she accept herself.
He just likes her like this. On the surface is a cold and aloof plum, and underneath is a knife condensed with ice and snow.
Everyone has a dark side, and he liked everything about her, whether she used arrogance to cover up her inferiority complex, or used calmness to cover up the turmoil caused by her unwillingness.
To a certain extent, they are the same kind of people.
