Chapter 180: Human heart is hard to predict
"Madam, this Madam Zhou obviously has bad intentions. Don't listen to her. Otherwise, the baby in your belly will worry, and you will worry too." Nanny Chen saw that Su Wenyue had a worried look on her face, and she quickly advised. She also heard what Zhou Wang said just now. Although it was somewhat credible, there was also a suspicion that she deliberately wanted to make Madam worry. Otherwise, if she knew that Madam was pregnant and couldn't worry, she could just let Master Zhou tell their masters. Why bother to be mysterious in front of Madam.
Even though Zhou Wang was deep-minded, she couldn't hide her thoughts in front of Nanny Zhou and Nanny Chen, who were used to seeing the inner house fighting. So Zhou Wang hurried away under Nanny Chen's gaze, otherwise she would have planned to say something.
"Don't worry, Madam. I know what Zhou Wangshi is up to. I didn't take her words to heart, but her news may not be false. Lord Wang has been in the position of the eighth rank for so long. It's time to move. It's normal for him to feel uncomfortable when his husband takes that position. It's human nature."
Su Wenyue is not stupid enough to be disturbed by Zhou Wangshi's words, but Lord Wang is indeed a trouble. Madam Wang has been rampant in Xinluo Town for so long, not only because of her temper that others don't want to provoke, but also because of Madam Wang's family. Madam Wang's father, Sun Bocheng, is the Tongpan of Yiyang Prefecture. The Tongpan position has always been trusted by the emperor. Although the power of the Tongpan has declined due to the civil strife in the court, his status is there.
The female guests dispersed, but the front yard was still lively. The men were drinking and chatting, and they were in high spirits. Han Yu couldn't leave, and was worried about Su Wenyue, so he sent his servant to ask about the situation and told Su Wenyue to rest early and not wait for him.
Su Wenyue had something to discuss with Han Yu, so she naturally wouldn't rest so early. She dozed off on the couch for a while, and when she woke up, she didn't know how long it had been. The people in the front yard hadn't dispersed yet, so Su Wenyue sent a servant to inquire about the situation.
Han Yu and his friends were holding a banquet here, and Sikong Ling had already received the news.
"Han Yu is good at scheming, but he climbed to the seventh rank in a short time by taking shortcuts, which is quite capable." Sikong Ling took a sip of wine and said with an unclear expression. The man in black stood aside and didn't say anything. He knew that the master was not asking him questions, and he didn't need him to answer.
"How is she doing? Is she still vomiting?" Sikong Ling looked a little worried when he said this. Last time in Lingyin Temple, he saw that Su Wenyue's face was not very good. It was only more than four months, but her belly was so big. Later, he asked someone to find out more carefully, and it turned out that she was pregnant with twins.
She was originally thin and petite. She was just a young girl. It was hard enough to be pregnant with one baby, and she was pregnant with twins. If the pregnancy was not good, it would be very dangerous. Sikong Ling didn't care about the baby in Su Wenyue's belly, but he didn't want Su Wenyue to get into trouble.
"Although the Han family is not a big house, the servants are very tight-lipped. I finally got some news. Madam Han should be fine. It is said that her appetite has improved and she can eat a lot a day. Some people saw that Madam Han's complexion and spirit are much better than before."
Sikong Yu felt relieved after hearing this. He didn't know why he was so concerned about a woman with whom he had little interaction.
"Also, Sun Tongpan is very dissatisfied with Han Yu's promotion this time. He thinks Han Yu is blocking his son-in-law's way. I'm afraid he will take some action in the near future."
"I know. You go down and tell the people below to keep a close eye on it. If there is any news, report it immediately. Before the baby is born, I don't want any big changes to affect her mood." Sikong Yu was not interested in whether Han Yu would be framed. It was just that if Han Yu got into trouble, Su Wenyue would definitely be affected. It was dangerous enough to be pregnant with twins, and no more risks could be taken.
"Yes." The man in black knew that his master was too concerned about the woman, but this was not their area of responsibility. They only needed to follow orders.
Han Yu came back from the front with a smell of alcohol on his body. He washed up before coming in and saw Su Wenyue reading a book. Han Yu frowned and snatched the book from Su Wenyue's hand.
"Didn't I tell you to rest early? Why are you still reading so late? Your eyes and body are tired. You just recovered a little and you don't take it seriously. What can I say to you?" Han Yu's tone was inevitably a little aggressive after drinking.
Su Wenyue also knew that she was in the wrong, but it was boring to sit here, so she pulled Han Yu's hand to explain.
"Don't be angry, I just slept for a while, and I couldn't sleep well now, so I took a book to read for a while. You know I care about the baby in my belly the most, how could I not be careful, but the front was dispersed?"
Han Yu heard Su Wenyue say this, and then glanced at Li Ma Ma who was serving on the side. After Li Ma Ma's answer, his face relaxed a little, and a little tiredness appeared on his face, and he hugged Su Wenyue.
"Wife, how do you feel today? Are you tired? Did those women say anything? If they did, don't take it to heart. They are just jealous of your husband's promotion. After all, I have little experience. There are many people who are dissatisfied with my current position." Han Yu said this because he obviously knew what Zhou Wang said to Su Wenyue.
"That's why I'm a little worried. Those sour words are nothing, but they are forgotten once they enter my ears. What I'm really worried about is those people who are trying to trip you up behind your back. Even if some people don't look bad on the surface, who knows what they are thinking? People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Sometimes climbing too fast is not a good thing." Su Wenyue sighed.
Han Yu didn't expect his wife to think so much, and even to other levels. As expected, she is his wife. Unlike other women, she cares about the main things, but Han Yu doesn't want his wife to worry about these things.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. Your husband is a man who can climb to this position. He is naturally capable of holding on to it. Even if they make trouble behind your back, your husband is capable of dealing with it. You just need to take good care of yourself and the children, and don't worry about these things."
"But..., do you know what Madam Zhou said when she left today? Your current position was originally set by Sun Tongpan for his son-in-law, Lord Wang. This time you were promoted. No matter what others say, Sun Tongpan is definitely not satisfied. Even if he doesn't make trouble behind your back, I'm afraid he won't hope for your well-being. Husband, what do you think about this? Otherwise, go find my father and let him think of a solution. Although the Su family has been divided, our branch has not entered the court according to the rules set by our ancestors, but if there is really trouble, my grandfather and uncle will not just watch and do nothing."
