Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Chapter 127: Immediate Outbreak (2/2)
Aunt Li’s face darkened. Mrs. Yao Qin could say whatever about her, but she worried that the Madam might get upset because of it. At this point, there was no time to worry about much else; they had to get Mrs. Yao Qin out before the situation worsened.
“It seems Madam Yao must be drunk on wine to come into someone else’s mansion and talk nonsense. Offending the Madam is out of the question—we should send Madam Yao back first!”
“How dare you, you ignorant old fool!”
“Enough, do you still see me as your master?” Suddenly, Su Wenyue sternly interrupted, causing Mrs. Yao Qin and Aunt Li to quiet down immediately. Mrs. Yao Qin looked smug, while Aunt Li appeared worried and indignant at Mrs. Yao Qin’s thoughtlessness.
Su Wenyue felt a sudden tightness in her chest at the mention of her big brother being in trouble; her brain experienced a moment of oxygen deprivation, preventing an immediate reaction. She had noticed that Aunt Li and Grandma Chen were overly anxious these days and thought it was because Han Yu had warned them. Evidently, they had conspired to keep her in the dark, likely related to the morning when Han Yu called Aunt Li and Grandma Chen out. Seeing Aunt Li’s eagerness to get Mrs. Yao Qin out and attempting to cover up, Su Wenyue grew furious on the spot.
“Madam, you—”
“Be silent. Do you still consider me your master at all, daring to hide such a significant matter from me? Aunt Li, you were sent by my mother, and I rely on you, but that does not mean you can deceive me like this and disregard me!” There was uncontrollable anger in Su Wenyue’s voice, but she was eager to know the situation at the Su Family and what had happened to her big brother, so she did not erupt immediately.
“Madam Yao, what exactly happened? What’s wrong with my big brother?!”
“I had just heard the news and came to inform you immediately. I heard that your big brother was attacked by bandits near Anshan and injured by them. Your brother was slashed by a bandit, and when the rescuers arrived, half of his body was drenched in blood!” Mrs. Yao Qin recounted what she had been told, oblivious to Su Wenyue’s suddenly pale face.
“Madam, Madam, please don’t be agitated. Think of the child. Although the Eldest Young Master has been injured, it’s not as serious as Madam Yao said. He has been rescued and is now recovering at home.”
“Yes, Madam, the Eldest Young Master is alright now. As long as he rests and heals properly, everything will be fine. If you get upset and harm the child in your stomach, the Eldest Young Master himself will feel distressed when he finds out.”
Having gone through the ordeal in her previous life, Su Wenyue knew how much she valued the child in her womb. Even when she was resentful, she bore it silently, all for the sake of the child’s well-being. Now having heard this, her anger was unbearable and the suppressed emotions in her heart erupted.
“Child, child, is that all you see aside from the child? Prepare the horse carriage for me; I’m going to the Su Family right now!” Su Wenyue said as she rushed towards the door, holding her stomach,
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, the entire household’s servants grew increasingly frantic. Even Mrs. Yao Qin, witnessing Su Wenyue’s reaction, realized she might have caused a disaster.
