“What’s going on?” Su Wenyue asked with narrowed eyes when she heard Xiao Xi had come back with information.
“Miss, it’s because of Jiang Chunlan’s matter. The Jiang family members heard the news and came knocking on our door. The old master and the old lady are explaining things to them right now. I don’t know if they’ll cause trouble here?”
Xiao Xi said worriedly. Normally, she wouldn’t be concerned; with her protection, the miss wasn’t someone who could easily be taken advantage of. Even against the Jiang family members, she wouldn’t be afraid. But now that the miss was pregnant, negligence couldn’t be allowed. Many people from the Jiang family had come. If they started arguing and shoving, with so many people it could get out of hand, she feared they might accidentally hurt the miss. And just when that was a concern, Uncle wasn’t around. Seeing the Jiang family’s aggressive behavior a moment ago, Xiao Xi thought they were all barbarians.
“It’s the Jiang family, huh.” Su Wenyue responded with an ‘oh,’ not particularly surprised. It had been several days since the news that Jiang Chunlan was locked up in the county government had spread, and it was time for the Jiangs to show up. Given how Yang Juxiang treated Jiang Chunlan, she was obviously valued in the Jiang family and it was only right that they would come to see her.
Jiang Chunlan had been arrested along with those bandits by Han Yu and delivered to the county government. The case was straightforward; plus, the young guys didn’t really have the guts, they had been incited by Jiang Chunlan without foreseeing the severe consequences. Upon seeing the county magistrate, they were so scared that a strike of the gavel frightened them into confessing everything. The Su Family had already notified the government in advance, so what would happen next was predictable.
“Miss, those people are quite rough. If they come looking for us later, I fear they might hurt you. Miss, you should stay in your room and not go out later. It’s better if I deal with them,” Xiao Xi thought of this as the only good solution.
Su Wenyue was fully awake at this point and squinted her eyes after hearing Xiao Xi’s words, conveying a hint of dangerous intent, “What a joke! I haven’t done anything guilty, so why should I hide in my room? Jiang Chunlan harmed me, the Jiang family members are the ones who should feel ashamed. Besides, am I someone who shies away from trouble? If someone comes to my door and I just hide away, won’t I become a laughingstock if word spreads? Then anybody would dare to come knocking on my door in the future.”
Listening to Su Wenyue speak so decisively made Xiao Xi even more anxious, “Miss, now is not the time for pride. I know you’re not someone timid or afraid, but you’re not alone now; you need to think about the child in your stomach. If you are feeling upset, we can take revenge later. There’s no need for a head-on clash with them; it’s not worth it!”
Su Wenyue sighed at Xiao Xi’s anxiousness. She had lived two lifetimes; how could she not understand the gravity of the situation? However, Xiao Xi’s suggestion was unfeasible.
“Xiao Xi, don’t worry. Your miss is not that reckless, and I wouldn’t disregard the child in my womb. But your idea won’t do. Not to mention, the Jiangs are still my mother-in-law’s relatives. Out of respect for my mother-in-law, it wouldn’t be right for me, as the daughter-in-law, to ignore the Jiang family members. Besides, I’m only going to meet them, not fight with them. With you by my side protecting me, being cautious should suffice.”
Xiao Xi knew Su Wenyue’s reasoning was sound, and although still somewhat worried, there was nothing she could do, “Alright then, miss. Please be very careful, and don’t let the child in your stomach get hurt. If the Jiang family members get physical, hide behind me.”
At the moment, the Jiang family members were having a heated argument with Mrs. Yang. Because of Jiang Chunlan’s issue, the sisters Yang Juxiang and Yang Guixiang had completely fallen out, with no regard for past affection.
