Wen Yuyue looked at the greedy gazes of the few people, her eyes full of mockery. Killing with a borrowed knife, she had deeply learned this trick from her father.
Killing them one by one would be too troublesome. It was better to watch their dog-eat-dog drama. The powder she had sprinkled earlier was enough to make the person from the Fu family lose their disguise abilities.
It might not be apparent in the short term, but slowly, the poison in the powder would erode her nerves until she died. And the first of her five senses to disappear would be hearing.
The suffering she had inflicted on those innocent girls to obtain human skin, Wen Yuyue was now returning it to them.
What would happen to someone who had no use but was brought back at such a great cost was naturally imaginable, but it had little to do with Wen Yuyue anymore.
As Wen Yuyue watched the woman from the Fu family being taken away by her entire family, she hummed an unknown tune and slowly walked away.
She had already provided the ladder. The imperial family had long been fed up with these so-called noble families. If they could truly have a chance to eliminate them completely, the imperial family would naturally be overjoyed.
As Wen Yuyue stepped into the room, she found someone else there.
Wen Yuyue's expression tensed, and she said respectfully, "Why has the family head come?"
Wen Fengyuan frowned, looking at Wen Yuyue, who had just returned, and said with great authority, "Where have you been? Why are you only back now?"
Wen Yuyue had always been somewhat intimidated by this elder. A reason immediately came to her mind, "Someone asked me to see their child earlier. I understood the situation and returned a bit late."
Wen Fengyuan had only asked casually and did not pursue the matter. If he did not have only this son, and his son did not have only this daughter, he would not have appeared here.
"I heard you've been treating the Princess recently?" Wen Fengyuan's face was full of worry.
"Yes!" Wen Yuyue carefully observed his expression.
"Hmm, how is the Princess's condition lately? Have you seen His Majesty?"
"The Princess's condition has greatly improved recently, and His Majesty is in good health." Hearing Wen Fengyuan's words, Wen Yuyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.
"That's good! Have you and your father decided to support the Crown Princess?" Wen Fengyuan smiled, his eyes filled with relief.
For so many years, he had been struggling to hold onto the position of the Wen family head. No one knew how tired he was. But what could he do? His only son was engrossed in his so-called research.
After much urging, he finally had a child. He had originally planned to train this child to succeed him as the family head, but this child was also not interested in these matters.
At a young age, he went out to study, even following in his father's footsteps and becoming a psychologist. Now, he had finally done something that their Wen family should do.
"Yes, the Princess is very good!" Speaking of this, Wen Yuyue's earlobes turned red. It was always a bit embarrassing to praise the person she liked to an elder.
"Indeed! Nowadays, only the Princess can shoulder great responsibilities in the imperial family. The others are truly not up to par," Wen Fengyuan sighed.
"Enough, I can't manage other matters anymore. I came today to instruct you on a few things."
"My Wen family has been loyal to the imperial family for generations. You must not do anything that disgraces our ancestors. Also, when will you return? I will pass the position of Wen family head to you. This way, you can rightfully assist the Princess and teach her some things."
Wen Yuyue: ... She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wen Yuyue politely declined, "Family head, let's forget it! You know my personality; I'm used to being alone. If the family head needs me to convey anything, I will cooperate."
She had no desire to be the head of the Wen family. Being free and unfettered now was better than anything. Seeing her father's evasive attitude, she knew this was not a good job.
Wen Fengyuan looked displeased and put on a kind expression, playing the family card. "Yuyue, I've watched you grow up since you were little. What are you saying? Besides, who in the Wen family can take on this role except you?"
"I think my uncle's son is quite good," Wen Yuyue deliberately poked at Wen Fengyuan's sore spot.
Wen Fengyuan immediately jumped up, his face turning black.
Even though he knew Wen Yuyue was deliberately provoking him, he couldn't help himself. In his eyes, that person's existence was the biggest stain on his life.
He had always maintained his integrity, but people had thrown themselves at him. In his youth, he lacked the self-control he had now and accidentally fell into someone's trap.
Later, after that woman extorted a sum of money from him, she left with the child and disappeared. He had never paid attention to that child, yet he had grown up well and even married and had children.
Wen Fengyuan snorted and left.
Sitting in the car, he inexplicably thought of that little boy. He seemed quite intelligent, but his identity was indeed a significant problem, and their existence also indicated that he was not as devoted as others saw him.
"Aze, how many years have you been with me?" Wen Fengyuan, unable to make up his mind, suddenly asked the driver in front.
"Family head, it's been over ten years," Aze said calmly, vaguely guessing his thoughts.
"You say, would that child be more suitable for this position?" As soon as he spoke, he regretted it.
Aze smiled and replied, "Family head, in fact, when you asked this question, you already had the answer in your heart. You're asking me only because you want me to affirm your answer!"
Wen Fengyuan also smiled, filled with emotion, "I never thought that the one who understands me the most would be you?"
"It's not that I understand, but that you, Family head, had no intention of hiding it."
Wen Fengyuan's gaze was somewhat melancholic. That child was indeed the most suitable. Regardless of his identity or the personality he had learned about, he was fit to lead the Wen family, but he just couldn't accept it for a while.
He never expected that in the end, it would be the child of the child he considered a mistake.
Wen Fengyuan was not a hesitant person. Since he had made up his mind, he informed the elders of the Wen family of his intentions that very day.
The Wen family was almost entirely under his control, so these matters were merely a formality. A few days later, he added the child he once considered a disgrace to the family registry and then took the child under his wing to personally train him.
He had been the head of the Wen family for so many years; the Wen family had become his life's work, and he could no longer let it go.
Fortunately, the child was as talented as he had expected. Perhaps in over a decade, he would truly be qualified and capable of taking his place in guarding the Wen family.
