Chapter 370: Chapter 377: Will Understand
Su Wenyue felt that she couldn’t be too impulsive, for there must be something fishy going on, and she needed to think it over before making a decision. Otherwise, if she rashly confronted the situation and ruined Han Yu’s efforts, that wouldn’t be good. Yes, just like that, she would wait and see how things developed. Having made up her mind, Su Wenyue retracted her steps that were already heading out the door.
“Madam, what are you doing?” Aunt Li didn’t understand why the Madam suddenly wasn’t in a hurry anymore. Didn’t she say that she was going to find the Master, or perhaps find that vixen and resolve this matter? Dragging it out wasn’t a solution. What if the Master had a child with that vixen out there?
“Aunt Li, let’s not go. Let’s head back.” As Su Wenyue spoke, she turned around to walk back, leaving everyone somewhat confused. Why had the Madam changed her mind again? Could it be that she had come to an understanding and wanted to demonstrate virtuous magnanimity? But after all, that woman from outside didn’t have the status worthy of being brought into the discussion. Perhaps the Madam simply didn’t regard her as a threat.
Aunt Li seemed to think the same: “Madam, even though this era demands that a woman be virtuous and magnanimous, you really can’t handle things this way. If that vixen outside really seduces the Master away, it would be too late for regrets, Madam. Fortunately, you already have three children under your knees, and the servant sees that the Master usually holds you in high regard. As long as the Madam goes to him, the Master might change his heart, considering the children.”
Su Wenyue saw Aunt Li’s anxious look and felt touched, but some thoughts were clear to her but could not be told to the servants, nor could they be said out loud. She said only, “Aunt Li, rest assured, I have my own judgment. I understand what kind of person my husband is; he is not one who would abandon loyalties or be ungrateful. Moreover, the matter concerning that woman is nothing but a rumor and has not been confirmed. It could very well be a trap set by someone with ulterior motives.”
Aunt Li, hearing Su Wenyue say this, felt uneasy but dared not speak further. Madam’s authority had grown, and many thoughts were beyond her comprehension. Moreover, this was not something a servant like her should meddle in; her duty was simply to fulfill her own role.
Su Wenyue turned back and went directly to her three children’s room. Looking at the three little ones, she felt much better. Although she had calmed down now, her heart was not entirely at peace and she began to contemplate how to deal with the situation.
At that moment, Han Yu was walking with a woman of striking beauty, intimately close, and looking at her with tender pity, they entered a Small Courtyard together.
If one were to look closely, they would discover that Han Yu’s face bore traces of indifference and impatience, whereas the woman, with a shy demeanor, emitted love from her eyes and gestures, seemingly genuine and not feigned.
“Master, have these days been exhausting for you? Would you like your servant girl to familiarize you with them?” Chi Feifei, with her enchanting eyes fixed on Han Yu, had a posture like a frail willow in the breeze, conveying an inviting message with eyes that seemed to speak. Any ordinary man might soften at such a display, but unfortunately for her, Han Yu was no ordinary man, and remained unmoved, especially with Su Wenyue as a point of comparison. Seeing Chi Feifei’s pretense, he found it distastefully insincere.
Seeing Chi Feifei drawing closer to him, Han Yu furrowed his brow, this woman, though purchased temporarily to deceive others, did not seem to be very content.
