How could he not agree to those words? As if he would bully her like she was his younger sister—this was his wife we’re talking about. He adored and doted on her so much that he wished he could hold her in his palm. Yet, the words that came out of Su Hengyi’s mouth just felt incredibly off.

Seeing Su Hengyi, Han Yu suddenly thought that the previously annoying Su Hengxuan was quite endearing. At least with Su Hengxuan, he didn’t have to feel that indescribable frustration with nowhere to vent. Of course, what Han Yu found even less tolerable was his wife’s relationship with her eldest cousin, even better than with her second brother-in-law. After all, men can be quite unreasonable when they are jealous—like Han Yu, who couldn’t stand to see his wife’s attention on another, neither man nor woman.

“Don’t worry, big brother, Lady Yue is my wife. I cherish her and spoil her so much, how could I even think of making a fuss with her? I just like Lady Yue the way she is. Besides, although Lady Yue occasionally has a small temper, most of the time she is virtuous and sensible. It’s the blessing I accumulated in my previous life that allowed me to marry Lady Yue, such a wonderful wife. I’ll definitely treat her well,” Han Yu said with absolute sincerity, but Su Hengyi and Su Hengxuan, the two brothers, felt uncomfortable listening to him, finding Han Yu’s proud smile on his face very punchable.

While the three men were lost in their thoughts, Su Wenyue was beaming with joy. She and her siblings had been outside for quite some time and hadn’t gone in. When a maid came out to urge them again, it struck Su Wenyue as odd. Normally, her mother would have come out to greet her by now, especially since she was pregnant.

“Big brother, second brother, is there some good news at home? Why do I feel that something is not quite right?” asked Su Wenyue, but Su Hengyi and Su Hengxuan just smiled and didn’t answer.

Seeing that they kept her in suspense, Su Wenyue stopped asking. She went with Han Yu to visit the An Family’s side and, upon reaching the entrance, she heard a burst of joyful laughter. The voices inside were both unfamiliar and familiar.

“Miss Yue is back! It’s been so many years, let Grandmother get a good look at our Miss Yue and see how she has grown into a fine woman!” There had been mostly sons in the Su Family’s main branch, and only a few concubine’s daughters, but in terms of granddaughters born to the main branch, they had only Su Wenyue, which made her particularly precious. Old lady Su had missed her granddaughter over the years, and had it not been for Mrs. An’s persistence, the old lady would have wanted to raise Su Wenyue by her side.

Su Wenyue did not expect old lady Su to come to Xinye with her big brother and was initially surprised, followed by a touch of delight. Although she was not very familiar with the old lady, retaining only vague childhood memories, Su Wenyue still remembered how much the old lady doted on her. No wonder her mother had decorated the entire Su Mansion with such festive cheer; it was to welcome the old lady. Elderly people do enjoy a more festive atmosphere.

“Grandmother, your granddaughter, Lady Yue, greets you. I hope you are well,” said Su Wenyue, who had been a bit worried about the Magistrate’s wife’s matter, but seeing old lady Su, she completely relaxed.

“Good, good. The little girl who was as cute as a snowball has now grown tall and graceful, already a mother herself. I heard from your mother that you are expecting twins this time?” The old lady, concerned for her granddaughter, had already inquired a lot about her.

Knowing that the old lady was coming, the concubine’s daughters, Su Cai and Su Yun, had been called back early to accompany the old lady. They knew that getting on the good side of the old lady would be advantageous for them. It was a pity that the old lady didn’t seem interested in interacting with them. The Su Family, being an eminent family, paid strict attention to rules and customs, and the master of the Su family was very clear in his attitude towards legitimate and illegitimate children.
