“Chunlan, you couldn’t possibly be scheming something again, could you? I’ve told you, stop provoking Su Wenyue. Not to mention Su Wenyue’s family is formidable, her own skills are impressive. Mrs. Wang is shrewd and strong and even she has suffered losses at Su Wenyue’s hands. Just look, all these days we’ve been setting traps and causing her trouble, but when has she ever lost out? Instead, it’s us who haven’t gained any advantage. Even your Aunt now has a complaint against us. Please, don’t make another foolish mistake!”
Yang Juxiang was afraid her daughter might have brewed up some trouble again and sternly warned her. Not that she truly respected Su Wenyue, but Yang Juxiang certainly knew her limits. Even with a thick face, she understood what could be done and what couldn’t.
“Mother, you said no, so what could I possibly do? You bring up these things again for no reason. If you mention that vixen once more, I’ll really get angry,” Jiang Chunlan probably noticed her attitude change had aroused her mother’s suspicion, and her tone became somewhat willful.
“Fine, I won’t talk about it. Just pack your things properly,” Yang Juxiang dropped the topic upon seeing her daughter react like this, thinking that since they would be leaving early tomorrow morning, nothing should happen.
Han Yu returned just as evening fell and it was nearly dark, looking quite bedraggled, empty-handed except for his hunting tools.
Yang Juxiang knew that whatever Han Yu caught today was meant for her to take back tomorrow, and so she paid special attention. Hearing noise from the courtyard, she went to check, only to find Han Yu coming back empty-handed.
“Brother Yu, you’re back. Did you leave the game you caught outside?” Yang Juxiang knew Han Yu was skilled at hunting, and couldn’t quite believe he would come back without any prey, so she asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.
“Fourth child, you’re back. Why are you in such a disheveled state? You didn’t encounter a wild beast in the mountains, did you?” Mrs. Yang also came out from the room and, seeing her son return, asked with concern, though her concern was different.
“Mother, don’t worry, I’m alright, you see, I’m still in one piece. It’s just that I didn’t catch any game. Aunt will have to return empty-handed tomorrow,” Han Yu’s usually impassive face showed a rare trace of apology, meant for his mother’s eyes only.
“What? You didn’t catch any game at all, how is that possible!” Yang Juxiang looked at Han Yu in disbelief, her tone sharp and her complexion abruptly darkened. She had been hoping Han Yu would catch plenty of game to take back, not necessarily for eating, but to sell for silver. Thus, this trip to the Han Family wouldn’t have been in vain. Otherwise, her trip would be a complete loss. Since Han Yu came back with nothing, her dashed hopes somewhat unhinged her, causing her to forget Mrs. Yang was right there.
Mrs. Yang saw her sister acting like this and her expression also turned unpleasant. Her son was right in front of her, and there was no question about whom she valued more. Besides, during the time her sister and niece had been at the Han Family, she had not treated them poorly at all. Just the amount of white flour and food they used was more than they usually consumed in two months. Yet seeing her sister’s attitude, it seemed she did not remember any kindness and took it all for granted.
Han Yu could tell what his mother was thinking just by her expression and did not mind worsening Yang Juxiang’s image in front of his mother.
“Aunt, I’m truly sorry. I’d actually caught quite a bit of game today, but I encountered a bear in the mountain, which caused me to lose the prey I had caught.”
