The damn nerve of him, in the Han Family’s territory, in front of her own
Father and Mother, Han Yu had actually dared to threaten her. Nonetheless, Su Wenyue still compromised without much backbone, for who could blame her? This man was bound to achieve great heights in the future, and her mother’s family would need his support. She would endure! Besides, this man was also her backbone. So it was settled; she would graciously forego this advantage. One mustn’t be short-sighted in dealing with others.
“Eldest Sister, Second Sister, since my Husband has spoken thus, I should let him support me. Otherwise, Husband might be displeased. I am married now; a wife regards her husband as heaven. I shall heed my Husband’s wishes.”
“Enough of this dallying! What are you still doing here? Today is Yueyue’s return to her family after marriage—why have you come to stir up trouble?
Clear off back to where you came from. Do you intend to vex me deliberately?” Master Su was also frustrated with the two illegitimate concubine’s daughters who tried to trip up his good girl, mocking his good girl. In anger, he didn’t even offer lunch, but directly shooed them away.
The concubine’s daughters grew even paler. Though they revered their Queen Mother, their fear of Master Su was even greater. Master Su had never minced words with them even as children, and he made all the decisions regarding external affairs. If they angered him and he made things difficult for their
Husbands, they’d find no peace upon returning to their husband’s families.
“Father, Aunt, we will take our leave now.”
Su Cai and Su Yun exchanged glances, seeing regret in each other’s eyes. They had enjoyed a few good days and had become somewhat complacent, losing their common sense and truly believing they could mock their legitimate sister for marrying a Farmer. But even if their sister’s marriage seemed lackluster, she had the support of the Queen Mother and her full Brothers—it was not their place to mock her. They had been too presumptuous, and now they had needlessly angered the Queen Mother and also displeased their Father.
Su Cai offered her respects to Master Su and Madam Su before departing. As she passed by Su Wenyue, she paused, and after some thought, she said: “Younger Sister, I was wrong earlier. I was misguided, and that’s why I spoke out of turn. But the mansion’s cook really is skilled. While no match for the Su Mansion’s, the differing tastes crafted by different chefs can be quite unique. If you wouldn’t disdain it, I could occasionally send some dishes over for you to try—consider it a gesture of goodwill from your sister.”
Being the smart person she was, Su Cai realized her previous frivolity; understanding the crux of the matter, she knew what she had to do. Her words were sincere, with no underlying intent, and sure enough, the countenances of Master Su and Madam Su relaxed significantly. Seeing this, Su Cai firmed her resolve: as long as Su Wenyue agreed, she would go to all lengths to gather delicious foods and curry favor with her.
“Of course, that would be lovely. We are good sisters. I see no reason to refuse Eldest Sister’s kindness.” Su Wenyue graciously accepted Su Cai’s good intentions. Since Su Cai and Su Yun had previously meant no good, she’d complied; naturally, she wouldn’t refuse now.
