Chapter 371: Chapter 378: Smashing the Door Open
“Has the Master sent anyone back?” Su Wenyue asked softly, watching the child. No matter what Han Yu intended, he should at least send her a message. But so far, apart from rumors, she hadn’t seen anything else. Could it be for some reason that Han Yu was unable to send someone back? Her earlier thoughts were merely guesses. Despite her confident words, claiming to understand Han Yu well, she was actually somewhat uneasy at heart.
Aunt Li shook her head: “Madam, shall I send someone to inquire?”
Su Wenyue thought about it and nodded. Regardless of Han Yu’s current plans and intentions, it was perfectly normal for her to send someone to ask after such a long absence.
It was such a coincidence that the servant Su Wenyue sent to the military camp happened to encounter Han Yu leaving. Before he could approach, he saw a servant girl coming from another direction. After a brief hesitation, the maid was already speaking with the Master.
The servant was clever and loyal to Su Wenyue, which is why she had sent him. Remembering the rumors that had been swirling around these days, the servant was cautious and did not approach immediately but hid nearby to watch. Seeing that the Master truly followed the maid, he felt troubled and quietly tailed them.
Once he followed them to a small courtyard and saw a beautiful woman greeting them and the Master followed her inside, the servant understood everything, his heart sinking. He hadn’t expected their Master to be keeping a woman outside. He had originally thought such a righteous person like their Master would never do such things; it was indeed a great disappointment. It was a pity for the Madam, who was such a good person. He couldn’t understand how this woman could compare to Madam. In terms of beauty, although this woman had some looks, she was far behind Madam. The rumors of this woman’s beauty, so-called “peerless under the heavens,” were nothing but lowly Goods, carrying an aura of the demimonde, not a proper woman at a glance.
The servant felt indignant for Su Wenyue and thought angrily. However, he didn’t impulsively confront them; Madam had sent him to deliver a message, and now the situation was different. With a fierce glare at the shameless woman, he silently noted the address and left quietly. Once he was out of Han Yu and the others’ line of sight, he rushed back to the Mansion to report.
The servant thought he had been sneaky and gone undetected so that Madam could confront them and catch them unawares. Little did he know that everything he had done had been observed.
“This boy is good, calm, clever, smart, and even knows some tracking skills. If it wasn’t for the trap we set, we might not have even noticed he was following behind. Madam has Talent around her indeed.”
Han Yu nodded, “Indeed, this boy is not only smart, but what’s important is that he knows how to adapt to circumstances and what to do for the best. He’s likely already gone back to report by now.”
Han Yu hadn’t wanted this to happen, but he didn’t expect his Daughter-in-law to have such self-control. The rumors had been out for many days, yet she hadn’t come looking for him. In a few days, he would have to lead his troops and deploy from the military camp. Without arranging for a suitable time, it would be too late. He had to settle his Daughter-in-law before leaving and also take care of the family affairs back home. It would raise suspicions if she disappeared rashly. As for the Su Family, since Han Yu had sent a message there, he needn’t worry. Those people had no intentions against the Su Family yet. Besides, the Su Family was connected to the Marquis Bei’an Mansion, which in turn was linked to many other powers, not so easily provoked.
“Madam, Madam, it’s terrible!” The servant rushed back to the Mansion, owing much to Su Wenyue’s kindness and being extremely loyal, thinking the Master had really been seduced by an outside woman. Running back hastily, without even catching his breath, he immediately reported to Su Wenyue, hoping that if Madam led people there, they might just trap the Master with that woman.
Seeing her servant return in such a hurry, with an air of disaster, Su Wenyue’s heart skipped a beat, but she managed to keep calm on the surface.
