Chapter 372: Chapter 379: Needs to Be Dealt With
The doorman was also stunned; they all understood that the master residing in this courtyard was likely a man’s concubine kept outside the main home. After all, which proper woman would live like this? They just didn’t expect the lady of the house to find them so quickly. Moreover, this lady was not only strikingly beautiful and seemed gentle and weak, but her temperament was also so fierce—she didn’t even bother to ask questions before she started smashing doors.
“Madam, please let’s talk this out calmly. I will go in and report your arrival right away,” the servant knew he couldn’t stop Su Wenyue. On any ordinary day, he might let it slide, but today, with Master also present, they didn’t dare to do nothing. Otherwise, they couldn’t bear the consequences.
“Master, Master, a lady with people has barged in!” The servant scrambled inside to report.
Han Yu raised an eyebrow, “Barged in with people?”
“Yes, that lady is fierce. I don’t know from which household she comes, but she didn’t even ask; she just smashed the door and charged in with people. We really couldn’t stop her, so we had to come and report to you, Master.” Seeing that Han Yu didn’t lose his temper, the servant felt some relief.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Han Yu’s face. Indeed, it was his own wife, and the stance she took when angry was anything but small. However, he soon felt a headache coming on. His wife must be extremely upset, and he didn’t know if she would harm herself in her anger. He hoped his wife would understand the meaning behind his words later. He couldn’t be too explicit, as if the traitor inside found out, all his efforts would be wasted.
Han Yu had acted so secretively and hadn’t informed Su Wenyue beforehand precisely because there was an internal traitor involved. This time, it was both to give Su Wenyue a pretext to move away and to catch the traitor.
Thinking of the traitor, Han Yu’s expression turned grim. If not for his luck, the traitor would have caused him great losses. But because of this, the traitor had not exposed themselves. However, he had narrowed down the suspects and was just waiting for his plan to work to catch the person.
Seeing that Han Yu was silent, the servant sneaked a peek at him. Noticing that Han Yu was neither panicked nor appeared to be in a rush, he began to speculate: perhaps this lady was not favored by the master, hence the master’s indifference. As for understanding the thoughts of their masters, that was beyond the servants. The lady was so beautiful, even more so than the woman living here—why wouldn’t the master care or favor her? If he had such a wife, he’d worship her like a Bodhisattva, even though the lady did seem to have quite a temper.
Chi Feifei was in the room working with needle and thread, sewing clothes for Han Yu, when she heard that a beautiful lady had stormed in with people, her face changed color, only to calm down soon after.
“Miss, what should we do? Could the lady be the master’s legal wife? Otherwise, why would she make such a grand entrance?” Xiao Hong, the servant girl attending to Chi Feifei, said anxiously, worried not only for her mistress but also that the lady’s anger might fall upon the servants. As someone who had signed a Death Contract, her life was as cheap as grass, and if she were beaten to death, it would be deemed her own fault.
“What’s there to panic about? If she’s come, she’s come; what can she do? It’s common for a man to have several wives and concubines. Even if she is the legal wife, she still has to listen to the master. Does she really think the master is still that rustic farmer? If she makes too much fuss, she’s the only one who will lose face!” Chi Feifei said irritably, looking at Xiao Hong with disdain. If Chi Feifei’s father hadn’t been framed and their family bankrupted, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.
