Chapter 586 - Chapter 586: Chapter 592: Settling Down (2/2)

“Don’t worry about this. I’ve already arranged it and sent reliable people to bring the children over,” Han Yu replied. Although he seldom spoke of the children, he always kept an eye on them. He had never slackened in his concern for their upbringing. He had sent for them without even discussing with his wife because he feared she would be too indulgent and hate to see them suffer hardships. Though she always verbally agreed, being a woman, how could she truly bear to see her children struggle? Unexpectedly, she had raised the matter quite quickly.

Han Yu felt increasingly that his wife was no ordinary housewife. Remorse filled him, wishing he had discussed with her beforehand; he wondered if his unilateral decision had angered her, and he watched her expression carefully.

Su Wenyue, understanding Han Yu’s thoughts, was not upset. Considering he was thinking of the children’s best interests, her usual indulgence might indeed have influenced his assumption. Seeing Han Yu stealthily watch her expression, any irritation in her heart dissipated. Actions were speaking, and as for the children’s matters, she didn’t want to dampen Han Yu’s enthusiasm. He cared for the children and had arranged for them out of concern, even before she did. It was a good thing.

Since Han Yu had taken care of the children’s arrival, Su Wenyue no longer worried about it. She had other tasks at hand. Being new to the area, everything had to start afresh. However, the number of people she brought was few, aside from Xiao Xi and a few others like Shu Xiang. She had no choice but to request Han Yu’s help.

“Husband, could you have some brothers from the Camp come over to help for a few days? I have too few hands here, and being strangers in a strange land, it’s not easy to hire help,” Su Wenyue suggested, discussing with Han Yu instead of issuing orders directly to people below her, since he was a man who strictly distinguished between public and private affairs—even though it was just a trivial matter.

“This is a small matter, of course there’s no problem. I had planned to do this myself,” Han Yu replied. He was not a stickler for formality and knew when to be practical. As long as major tasks were handled dutifully without crossing the line, that was enough. Hearing Su Wenyue’s request, he immediately agreed. He understood his wife well; every time they moved to a new place, she had to tidy and fuss until she could arrange it to her satisfaction, then she could settle down comfortably.

“That’s wonderful. Rest assured, I won’t mistreat your Soldiers. They will be working for me, and I will give them Remuneration, treating them to good food and drink without giving anyone a reason to complain.”

Han Yu, known for his efficiency, immediately ordered it, and by the afternoon, a group of Soldiers came to report.

“Madam, General Han has sent us to help you. Whatever tasks you have, just command us, I guarantee we’ll handle them well for you,” said the young general leading them, named Fang Xin.

Han Yu was meticulous in his affairs, and even for small matters, he left no room for error. He sent his own Personal Guards instead of regular army Soldiers to assist. Besides protecting Han Yu’s safety, the Personal Guard also tended to his personal affairs, and this Fang Xin was the Captain of the Personal Guard, recently promoted by Han Yu.

“This is the plan: I want to set up a few greenhouses on the land near the backyard, and for that, I’ll need the brothers’ help,” Su Wenyue politely requested, without the airs of a General’s Wife, endearing herself to the Soldiers.

Although Fang Xin promised with confidence, inside he feared Su Wenyue might assign them tasks too challenging. For these rough men used to the military camp, sometimes dealing with affairs of the inner house could be more difficult than handling matters outside.
