This won’t do, Madam Han has always been good to her, and if Lord Han has truly found someone else outside, Madam Han must be warned in advance to be on her guard, lest those vixens lure Lord Han away and it’s too late by then.
“What can’t be said? Speak quickly, don’t tell me Lord Han has done something to wrong Madam Han? You men are all alike, unable to resist temptations. We women tirelessly manage the household affairs at home, yet you indulge in pleasures outside, completely ignorant of what’s so alluring about those vixens…”
Any legal wife would abhor the women who try to intrude on their relationship with their husbands. As Madam Zhao spoke of this matter, she looked filled with a shared hatred, talking nonstop until Liu Cong interrupted her.
“Talking nonsense! Is the Master that kind of person? He is only keeping these matters from Madam Han because he fears they would worry her, and he expressly instructed us to stay silent. With Madam Han’s stomach growing so large, it is for her own good, not as you imagine. Should the Master hear such talk, he’d certainly be angry. This is just like girls, always overthinking minor issues. I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t you dare bring such baseless speculation in front of Madam Han. If you cause her undue worry, I won’t let you off easily!” warned Liu Cong. He knew his daughter-in-law understood restraint, yet in this matter, it was hard to say.
“I know, there’s no need to be so fierce. But speaking of it, Lord Han does dote on his daughter-in-law. On normal days, he may seem cold as ice, intimidating to behold, yet with Madam Han, he is considerate and gentle. Had I not accidentally witnessed it, I wouldn’t have known Lord Han had such a side in private”
“Naturally, the Master dearly loves Madam Han and is a man of integrity. You women just love to babble on about nothing. Enough now, let’s hand over the children and start dinner. Bloody hell, it’s been too long since I’ve had such good food; I’m going to eat my fill tonight!”
Madame Liu Zhao, now that Liu Cong had understood Han Yu’s intentions, often accompanied Su Wenyue at the Han Family. However, she became cautious in Su Wenyue’s presence, careful not to utter a wrong word, for Su Wenyue would immediately figure it out, well aware of Han Yu’s slyness. If he truly didn’t want her to know something, he certainly wouldn’t leave any opportunity for discovery.
Besides this matter, Madam Zhao informed Su Wenyue of everything and kept nothing secret, as long as Su Wenyue wished to know. Occasionally, Mrs. Yao Qin and others were also invited to the Han Family. Mrs. Yao Qin, however, couldn’t hold back her words, and even if something wasn’t supposed to be mentioned, Su Wenyue easily drew it out of her. It was a pity, though, that Mrs. Yao Qin was also clueless.
That evening, Han Yu returned rather early, bringing along a few people, with a troubled expression on his face that eased only upon seeing Su Wenyue, though a flicker of worry passed through his eyes.
“Madam, greetings.” The men who returned with Han Yu also greeted Su Wenyue.
“My daughter-in-law, what are you doing out here? I have everything arranged. You’re getting bigger by the day and must be cautious in your movements. I am preoccupied with many affairs and can’t attend to everything. You must take good care of yourself,” Han Yu said as he supported Su Wenyue, gently stroking her head, his voice carrying a softness.
