Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: Chapter 385: What Danger (2/2)
“Madam, don’t worry. The master is indeed injured, but his life is not in danger. He just needs to recuperate for some time. The master was afraid that you would worry, which is why he had his subordinates keep it from you,” Qi Luo said hastily, seeing Su Wenyue’s complexion change.
“Have Aunt Li get ready, I’m going back to Yiyang Prefecture immediately,” Su Wenyue said without hesitation. Now that Yiyang Prefecture had been taken by Han Yu, there was no reason for her to continue hiding, and if Han Yu was injured, she had to rush back to take care of him. Although Qi Luo emphasized that Han Yu’s injuries were not severe, if it had not been a serious injury, he wouldn’t have kept her from knowing.
“Madam, this might not be appropriate. The master had ordered that if there is no message, we must not leave this place. It’s not safe outside. Although Yiyang Prefecture has been taken, there are still many unstable elements. For this reason, the master did not rush to bring you back. Shall I send a message to the master to see what he thinks?”
“No need, we are leaving immediately, just the two of us,” Su Wenyue said, although she was worried about Han Yu’s injury, she had not completely ignored Qi Luo’s words and decided to leave the child behind. This place was safe, with Han Yu’s bodyguards remaining, and Aunt Li and the Nanny, the three children should be well cared for. Once she got back to Yiyang Prefecture and arranged things with no worries, she would then fetch the children.
“Aunt Li, you have always been the most reliable, and I trust you the most. I entrust the three children to your care.”
Having made up her mind, Aunt Li knew Su Wenyue was worried about Han Yu, and she did not try to dissuade her, earnestly accepting the task of taking care of the three little ones: “Madam, rest assured, I will take good care of the Young Master and the Misses.”
Thinking of Brother Xing’s particularity, although Su Wenyue was in a hurry, she made sure to visit the three little ones before leaving and explained the reason to them.
“Your father is injured, and your mother must rush to take care of him, so I will be away for a while. Once everything is arranged, I will come to fetch you,” Su Wenyue said, and then she noticed Brother Xing’s small hand clutching tightly to her clothes.
Su Wenyue patted Brother Xing’s back soothingly: “Brother Xing, be obedient. Your father is injured and needs your mother to take care of him, so I must go to him. You are the big brother, you need to behave and take good care of your younger siblings. Don’t be naughty and wait for me to come for you.”
As Su Wenyue was about to hand Brother Xing over to the Nanny, the child panicked, unwilling to let go of her clothes.
“Mother, don’t go! Brother Xing wants his mother!” Out of desperation to keep his mother, Brother Xing called out instinctively.
Su Wenyue was stunned, looking incredulously at Brother Xing. The three children were at the age of starting to speak, and she had spent many days playfully engaging with the little ones, trying to get them to talk. Yet they had never cooperated, only babbling and causing mischief, and she had not expected Brother Xing to call out “mother” with such clarity at this moment.
“Brother Xing, what did you say? Call out to mother again, let me hear,” Su Wenyue said expectantly to Brother Xing.
“Mother!” Brother Xing had been able to speak for a while but had been unwilling to do so for some reasons in his heart. Since he had begun, calling out once more was not difficult, and following Su Wenyue’s cue, he called out loudly again, delighting her. It was unfortunate that the child’s father was not there to share the thrill and joy with her. Remembering that Han Yu was injured, Su Wenyue’s mood dipped considerably.
