Chapter 584: Chapter 590: Lord of Peicheng City

Although Han Yu had not given any instructions yet, Su Wenyue had secretly been preparing for a while, ready to flee at any moment and endure a difficult period. As for the children, she still felt somewhat guilty for not being able to take care of them personally. After all, they were still young, and staying at Feng Family Manor was safer than being by her side.

“Madam, the Young Master and Miss have sent you a letter.” Shu Xiang knew how much Su Wenyue missed the children. Learning that the Young Master and Miss had sent a letter, she immediately delivered it to Su Wenyue, who indeed showed a surprised yet delighted expression.

“Really?! Let me see it quickly. The three of them have really grown up, to think they know how to write letters now.”

Unable to wait, Su Wenyue opened the letter and saw some crooked scribbles on it. Her smile deepened. She had thought that the children, missing her, had asked someone else to write the letter on their behalf, but now, seeing this handwriting, it was clear that the children had written it themselves.

The children were young and had just started learning to read and write. Although the words were crooked, Su Wenyue could see the seriousness and effort they put into it; moreover, there wasn’t a single misspelled word, which must mean someone had been guiding them by their side.

“They really are sensible.” After reading the letter, Su Wenyue felt moved all over again. If it weren’t for the circumstances, she would truly wish to have the children with her. They always enjoyed clinging to her; the last time she left, they were extremely reluctant to part. Yet, besides expressing their longing for her in the letter, they also asked her to be at ease, assuring her they could take care of themselves and advising her to do the same.

Upon reading this, Su Wenyue nearly burst into tears. Nothing could move her more, and although it was just a few short sentences, she had always been worried that the children would make a fuss for her. Now, though she still missed them, her mind was much more at ease.

As Su Wenyue read the letter, Han Yu came in from outside with a sense of urgency. The children’s letter had only been read once, and with a hint of comfort on his face, he said to Su Wenyue, “Daughter-in-law, have someone pack up quickly. Zhao Fan’s troops are about to arrive, and you need to set off with the team right away.”

Hearing Han Yu say this, Su Wenyue’s heart tightened as well. Although she had been prepared, facing the moment head-on was not so easy, and her expression betrayed slight nervousness.

“How come they’re arriving so soon? Wasn’t it said that Zhao Fan’s troops should take another three or four days to get here?” Su Wenyue was worried that something unexpected had happened.

“That was just a ruse to deceive others. Zhao Fan has also learned how to be clever and use tactics now, but those are nothing but petty tricks. You needn’t worry; I have sent Zhai Li to stay by your side to protect you.” Although he intended to train his daughter-in-law to gradually become accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, it was, after all, her first time dealing with such matters—at least in front of him. Han Yu was anxious not to overwhelm her and cast a shadow over her mind, so he reassured her a few more times.

However, Su Wenyue’s worry was not about this. She knew that Han Yu would definitely make thorough arrangements to ensure her safety; she was more concerned about Han Yu’s safety since he still had not fully recovered from his injuries.
