Chapter 275: Chapter 283: How Can This Be Good

The matter was settled: when Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang learned of Han Yu’s exciting promotion, they immediately came over to offer their congratulations to Han Yu and Su Wenyue.

“Cousin,” Su Lanxin said with a smile, “congratulations to you. With brother-in-law’s promotion, your days are going to be even better.” In her heart, she was truly happy for Su Wenyue, after all, during this time her cousin had treated them, the two sisters, with genuine care, even offering them a sense of kinship and warmth they had never experienced before.

She used to feel that her cousin marrying Han Yu was rather beneath her, considering her cousin’s status, she could have married someone even better. However, after seeing Han Yu’s distinguished appearance and extraordinary ability, and considering that he was now an official, she no longer had such thoughts. After all, their uncle had only secured for his brother-in-law an eighth rank position, yet within such short time he managed to climb to the seventh rank by his own skill, which was quite an achievement. Now, to think that he had been promoted so quickly again, transferred to the General Battalion in the prefecture, recognized and valued by those above, his future seemed boundless. At this rate of promotion, it was only a matter of time before her cousin would enjoy a prosperous life.

Su Wenyue smiled and said, “It’s nothing but a sixth rank Commander position. Though it may not count for much, it was my husband who earned it through his own skill, and naturally, I’m happy about it. However, I have come to understand that in life, one simply hopes for peace and joy. I don’t ask for much else, as long as your brother-in-law is safe and stays away from dangerous things.”

As Su Wenyue spoke, she knew it was unlikely. Given Han Yu’s nature, how could he possibly avoid danger and stay in the back while striving for a future, especially once the Imperial Court fell into complete chaos and war erupted? With Han Yu’s personality, he would inevitably be leading his men at the forefront. In his past life, as a mere farmer with no connections, how had he climbed to the top? It was initially through military merit. He was not only the new dynasty’s Prime Minister but also a renowned War God.

“Cousin, rest assured, for your sake and the kids’, brother-in-law will also be more careful with his safety,” she said.

“I hope so,” Su Wenyue nodded, choosing not to say much more.

“Cousin, we’ve been here for a while now, and Lan Fang and I have discussed this. We plan to leave tomorrow. After being away for so long, mother must be getting anxious,” Su Lanxin added.

Understanding and sensible, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang knew that with Han Yu’s transfer to the prefecture, their cousin would surely be busy preparing to move with him. They didn’t want to be a burden as they had already stayed quite some time. Initially, they had stayed to accompany their cousin since Han Yu was not around, but now, it was time for them to return to the Su Family, lest their mother scold them for lacking propriety.

Well aware of this, Su Wenyue didn’t insist on keeping her two cousins any longer. With so much currently on her plate, she could just as well welcome them to the provincial capital once she was settled there.
