chapter 548: chapter 554

han yu was also feeling extremely guilty at this moment; during this period because of the issue with his daughter-in-law, he had utterly neglected the children. he had only received news from his subordinates and had not taken the time to truly understand the situation. otherwise, such an incident would not have occurred. even though he might not have been very affectionate with the children due to his personality and busy workload, how could he not love them in his heart? he hadn’t expected to let his several children suffer such grievances and be bullied by a cunning servant. if not for brother xing’s sensibleness and quick-wittedness, the children might have suffered even more.

although han yu was feeling both guilty and distressed, he was also somewhat pleased and proud of himself. his views differed from others; he never believed in coddling the children. experiencing some hardships was, in his opinion, beneficial for their growth. however, this did not serve as an excuse to reduce the cunning servant’s wrongdoings. since she dared to commit such acts, she had to be ready to face the consequences.

without a doubt, han yu was satisfied with the performance of brother xing and his two younger siblings. at such a young age, they knew how to adapt to different situations. even though they suffered grievances, they could endure and analyze the circumstances, instead of just crying and complaining about small grievances like ordinary children. they waited for the right moment to expose the cunning servant’s misconduct. this kind of intelligence and quick-wittedness, despite some shortcomings, was truly rare for their age. they were indeed his, han yu’s, children, and it was thanks to his formidable daughter-in-law that he had such children.

“you did well this time. that cunning servant is very sly and she came from your grandmother, so everyone is more inclined to trust her. and because you are so young, your words lack weight in the eyes of adults, making them even less influential than the words of a cunning servant. if you had gone to your grandmother or other adults with complaints, it’s possible you wouldn’t have been trusted, and thus, it wouldn’t have been effective. daddy is very happy that you were able to analyze the situation and make a relatively correct judgment,” he said.

the children didn’t say it out loud but deliberately led their father and mother to witness the nanny’s misdeeds with their own eyes, to make them trust them even more. although they felt that mother would definitely believe them, the nanny was also greatly trusted by mother, so there was some fear in their hearts. seeing that they finally achieved their desired outcome, they felt both pride and satisfaction. they hadn’t expected their little trick to be seen through by daddy. although there were some slight setbacks and fears, hearing daddy’s encouraging and praiseful words made their little faces beam with pride and fulfillment. above all, their admiration and respect swelled. they had always been proud to have a father who was a general, and now they were even more impressed by daddy’s prowess.

of course, this was also because han yu was usually quite strict with the three children, which made their receipt of praise all the more gratifying and satisfying.

seeing the little guys react this way, han yu’s lips curled slightly before he continued, “however, though you performed well, there were still some areas that were lacking. do you know where?”

the little ones, who had been excited and happy from daddy’s praise, instantly deflated upon hearing this. their expressions were surprisingly similar to su wenyue’s usual demeanor, making han yu’s heart soften even more.

having said this, han yu did not immediately give the answer but let the little guys think for themselves and waited for their response.

brother chen and sister yu thought about it with puzzled expressions, while brother xing seemed to have some insight but wasn’t quite sure. after glancing at han yu’s encouraging look, he tentatively spoke, “shouldn’t we have trusted daddy and mother, and avoided using such small tricks?”
