Chapter 244: Chapter 253: Confusing the Enemy
Madam truly is no ordinary woman, Ah Qing thought to herself, even Xiao Xi’s demeanor has changed since following Madam, much more composed and calm than before.
Feng Ruolin had been married into the Su Family for a while now, having entered the family when Su Wenyue was twelve years old. So, not only did Feng Ruolin hold deep affection for her sister-in-law, who she had lived with for years, but Ah Qing and Xiao Xi had also grown familiar and felt that Xiao Xi was indeed very different now, as if no matter how big an issue, it was nothing to her.
Su Hengyi worried about his younger sister, so he didn’t dare to stray far in this long while, waiting right in front of the Li Mansion. Upon seeing Su Wenyue emerge, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the people of the Li family would not dare to be so bold as to openly lay hands on Su Wenyue, he couldn’t feel at ease until he saw her come out.
“Younger sister, you’re out. How was it? Did anyone bully you at the banquet?” Upon seeing Su Wenyue safe and sound, Su Hengyi was worried that his sister might have been bullied and couldn’t wait to ask.
“Big brother, don’t worry. Who do you think your sister is? I couldn’t have been bullied by a bunch of soft, unthreatening women. You’re really underestimating me,” Su Wenyue said with her usual flair for theatrics, puffing out her chest and lifting her head in front of her elder brother.
Seeing his younger sister behave like this, Su Hengyi thought she must not have been bullied. He looked toward Ah Qing, who was following behind Su Wenyue, and seeing her nod, he believed that his little sister indeed hadn’t been bullied.
Ah Qing was inwardly sneering, probably Eldest Young Master didn’t know that Madam had become so formidable now. If he knew what Madam did at the Li Mansion, he would surely not believe it. It wasn’t Madam being bullied at all, but rather Madam bullying others, alright? Her eloquence was so sharp, Ah Qing couldn’t understand how Madam managed to handle those ill-intentioned people so easily.
At this time, Feng Ruolin was also eagerly waiting for Su Wenyue to return, having sent the servant girl to look countless times at the entrance. She couldn’t understand why the three children, who had clearly been fed and had their diapers changed, kept crying badly. According to the nanny, they were probably missing their mother, and Feng Ruolin was at a loss, only hoping the children’s mother would return soon. Seeing the three little ones crying with their chubby faces turning bright red, she felt an ache in her heart.
“Don’t cry, my babies, be good. Your mother is coming back soon, don’t cry, be good babies,” Feng Ruolin consoled the youngest, Si Yu, while holding her. The other two, in the arms of the nanny, just wouldn’t stop crying, no matter how the women tried to soothe them. They wailed unremittingly, struggling to catch their breath.
“Madam, you’ve finally come back, please go see the young master and young miss,” the servant girl, who had been squatting at the door, rushed up to Su Wenyue, relieved to finally see her return.
Su Wenyue, with a jolt in her heart upon hearing this, and seeing the servant girl’s urgent demeanor, feared something had happened to the children: “What happened, did something happen to the children?”
Su Wenyue, anxiously grasping the servant girl’s arm, squeezed involuntarily hard, causing the servant girl some pain. The servant girl, not daring to complain, quickly responded, “Madam, be assured, the young masters and miss are fine, they’re just missing you, crying badly, and no one can soothe them.”
Hearing that the three little ones were crying badly, Su Wenyue’s heart wrenched. Without a thought for anything else, she immediately ran towards the Inner Courtyard, indeed hearing the children’s cries from a distance.
“Younger sister, you’re finally back. Otherwise, with the three little ones crying like this, I would have been at my wit’s end,” said Feng Ruolin, relieved to see Su Wenyue returning.
