Han Yu cleared his throat, “Since it’s a gift from my Mother-in-law, it represents her kind intentions. Let’s accept it. Don’t worry about the rest; I will arrange a place for them to live.”

With an air of nobility, he accepted the servant contract without mentioning his plan for Su Wenyue. Han Yu hadn’t said that he already found a place; today, while Su Wenyue was asleep, he went out for a while and rented the two-entry courtyard not far away. It was being cleaned and arranged, and he planned to have his wife move there. He had rented this courtyard for a year and didn’t plan to give it up, especially since the vegetable field at the back was nurtured with so much effort by his wife, who has been looking forward to harvesting the vegetables.

Of course, these were things he couldn’t tell his wife. Although sometimes she might seem foolish, at other times she was very shrewd. If he told her now, she would immediately sense something was amiss and probably make a fuss about it.

The servant girls and caretakers breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Han Yu’s words. No wonder the Mistress asked them to listen to Uncle’s decision; it seemed the Mistress and Uncle had discussed it.

“But there’s really no need. With just the two of us, why do we need so many servants, and why do we need caretakers for our place? It’s truly unnecessary,” Su Wenyue insisted on not keeping so many people, as there might be spies arranged by her Father and Mother among them, reporting everything back, leaving her to endure her Mother’s nagging.

“It’s necessary. The world is becoming more and more chaotic. Having a few more caretakers at home gives me peace of mind. And our baby, our treasure in your stomach, would be safe, wouldn’t it?” Han Yu had made up his mind that he could not send the people back; he had to persuade his wife.

“But I don’t like having so many servants at home. When I was at home, my Mother let the servants watch me too closely, forbidding this and that. Just thinking about it depresses me.” Su Wenyue felt that Han Yu’s argument made sense, as the world was indeed getting more chaotic, something she understood even better from her experiences in her previous life. However, she felt a degree of repulsion and conflict within her.

Han Yu certainly noticed this and thought to himself that having so many people was indeed to watch over you. In the past, when his wife was at her mother’s family home, she was much more spoiled and yet, nothing dire happened. But since marrying into his family, big and small issues arose constantly, straining his heart’s capacity to endure.

Thinking this to himself, Han Yu nevertheless reassured her, “What’s there to be depressed about? You were young and naive, and your Mother naturally had to control you more. Now that you’re married and the Mistress of the house, these people are under your command. You make the rules. Isn’t it good to have so many helping hands?”

“Alright then, since you say so, I won’t send the people back. I’ll leave the arrangements of their residence to you; I don’t want to handle it.” Su Wenyue did understand the advantages of keeping these people. If Han Yu climbed higher in the future, the number of servants at home would inevitably increase. Those from outside couldn’t compare to those who grew up in a mansion, in terms of loyalty or adherence to rules.
