Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: Chapter 331: Miscellaneous People (2/2)
Seeing her son’s demeanor, Mrs. Yang looked pleadingly at her daughter-in-law: “Fourth Daughter-in-law, you are not in good health; you can’t withstand the cold outside. Let’s go inside sooner rather than later.”
Mrs. Yang’s words were tactful, knowing her son cared deeply for his wife, so she used that to her advantage, hoping that if his wife agreed, her son wouldn’t say anything further.
Su Wenyue knew they couldn’t keep up the standoff, not with people passing by who might spread rumors, which could hurt Han Yu. Besides, her Mother-in-law was clearly seeking her help, and although she didn’t like this or feel happy about it, she didn’t want to play the villain. She would rather leave it to Han Yu to handle. He had been doing better and better, rarely disappointing her.
“Mother is right; it’s cold outside in the winter. Let’s go in and talk,” Su Wenyue said with a forced smile.
Mrs. Yang, feeling gratitude for her daughter-in-law’s consideration and seeing that her son didn’t object, followed her daughter-in-law inside.
Han Yu gave instructions to a servant beside him and then beckoned everyone inside. Wang Qianru and Jiang Chunlan, fearful of Han Yu’s stern face, worried he would not allow them inside. Seeing his reaction, they felt secretly pleased, thinking that as long as Han Yu didn’t send them away, how could Su Wenyue do anything to them? It wasn’t as if she could defy her Husband and Mother-in-law’s wishes!
Both women were clearly dazzled by the wealth of Han Mansion. They had only heard about Han Yu’s high position before, but now, seeing such a magnificent House, they were even more determined. No wonder so many wanted to become Concubines for the masters of wealthy families.
Su Wenyue didn’t miss the greed and scheming on Wang Qianru’s and Jiang Chunlan’s faces. She scoffed inwardly but ignored them, simply giving Han Yu a warning glare.
“Stop, no idlers allowed in!” To Wang Qianru’s and Jiang Chunlan’s surprise, just as they were about to enter, they were abruptly stopped by a guard, their smiles frozen on their faces.
“Why are you stopping me? I’m the cousin of the Master of the House,” Jiang Chunlan said, her smile stiff, while Wang Qianru looked pleadingly at Third Child and his wife.
“Fourth child, Fourth Daughter-in-law, perhaps we should let Chunlan in. Although she made mistakes in the past, she’s learned her lesson and won’t cause any more trouble for you. Aunt had no choice due to the gossip in the Village about previous incidents. She sent Chunlan to stay with us for a while. With all of us coming to the prefecture, I couldn’t just leave her alone at home.”
