Chapter 211 - Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Cannot Tolerate (2/2)
“Grandma Chen, what’s this?” Han Yu looked at her with some confusion.
Wiping her tears, Grandma Chen hurriedly explained, “Yesterday, Madam couldn’t wait for the master’s return and was very uneasy. So, early this morning, we sent Cheng Hai to the camp, only to learn that the master had encountered danger and hadn’t returned yet. We all thought something had happened to the master, so I got a bit emotional when I suddenly saw you.”
Han Yu’s heart tightened upon hearing this, and a fierce look and murderous intent flashed across his face, “What do you mean? Does Madam know about this!”
Grandma Chen’s legs went weak with fear. Although the master was usually authoritative, he had never been this frightening, “No, no, Madam is pregnant, and we were afraid that knowing this would distress her, so we have kept it from Madam. Cheng Hai has already gone to the Su Mansion to report, asking the Old Master and Eldest Young Master to bring help for the master’s rescue.”
“Good, it was right to keep it from her. You’ve handled this well, there will be rewards later,” Han Yu had been worried for his wife’s safety, but hearing that they had kept it from her, he eased his concern. The servants sent from his mother-in-law were indeed reliable in a crisis. Hearing about Cheng Hai’s message to the Su Mansion, Han Yu also sent someone to the Su Mansion to prevent his wife’s family from worrying.
“I was terrified and didn’t know what to do at the time; it was all Aunt Li’s instructions,” although Grandma Chen didn’t have Aunt Li’s capabilities or her calmness under pressure, she was an honest person who did not take credit for others’ actions. When Han Yu said this, she immediately explained.
At the moment, Han Yu was concerned with things other than these matters; he wanted to see Su Wenyue right away. After hearing that, he nodded and then quickly headed towards the Inner Courtyard.
“Madam, Madam, the master has returned!” Xiao Xi, knowing that Han Yu had come back, immediately ran to bring the good news to Su Wenyue.
“The master is back! That’s wonderful, but is he unharmed?” Aunt Li, who usually kept a stern face, couldn’t help but reveal a rare smile and asked eagerly.
“He’s fine; the master has returned in one piece. He just looks a bit worse for wear; there doesn’t seem to be any injuries. You’ll know when you see him yourself,” Xiao Xi said cheerfully, having been so tense earlier for fear of letting something slip. Now, relieved and happy, she let something slip out.
Su Wenyue found it odd how happy Xiao Xi was about Han Yu’s return. Hearing the conversation between Aunt Li and Xiao Xi, she sensed that something was being kept from her, something to do with Han Yu, and her expression grew stern.
“Aunt Li, what is going on here, are you hiding something from me?” Su Wenyue’s voice was somewhat stern. Even though she knew that Aunt Li and the others were mostly doing it for her own good, afraid that she would get upset and harm the children, such unilateral decisions were not permissible to her. Minor issues were tolerable, but anything concerning Han Yu was a major issue for Su Wenyue.
“This…” Aunt Li was trying to figure out how to explain to Su Wenyue when they heard a resonant voice from the doorway.
“You all can leave; I will discuss this matter with my wife myself,” Han Yu said, allowing Aunt Li to breathe a sigh of relief as she and Xiao Xi promptly left.
