Chapter 183: Weak Foundation
Su Wenyue was worried about this obvious Hongmen Banquet, and it would take at least a day to get from Xinluo Town to Fucheng. A pregnant woman like her could only rush slowly, and it would take two or three days just for the journey. Su Wenyue didn't. She couldn't think about it. After all, it was a post from Mrs. Tongpan. As a descendant of a lower-ranking official, she couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to cause trouble to Han Yu. As for the Hongmen Banquet, Su Wenyue was not afraid. The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. The only thing What worries me is the child in my belly.
When Han Yu came back in the evening, he saw that his wife and the servants at home were all looking sad. When asked the reason, their faces were a little unhappy. He knew that Wang Sun had gone to Fucheng, and he also knew that Sun Tongpan was definitely there. There will be moves. He leaves early and comes back late every day in the military camp. After running the business for several months, he is not in vain. He is not afraid of Sun Tongpan's little moves. He will naturally have a way to deal with it when the time comes. Unexpectedly, they got the idea first. On his wife.
"You don't have to go there, just ask someone to give you some gifts later. The gifts don't need to be too many, just ordinary ones, so as not to say that we bribed the superior officials." Han Yu said nonchalantly, and handed the post to the servant without any hesitation. Don't take it to heart.
Su Wenyue was a little worried when she saw Han Yu acting like this. It wasn't that she was too timid, it was just that matters in the officialdom were complicated. The first level of officialdom was overwhelming. Sun Chengmiao was still the general judge of Yiyang Mansion. Although there was civil strife in the court, there was no need to worry about him participating in the performance in front of the emperor. Han Yu had a copy, but he still had rights.
"Mrs. Tongpan sent a message to invite you. Wouldn't it be a good idea not to go? What happened today is probably because of Mrs. Wang. At the last banquet, I suppressed Mrs. Wang and made her lose face. She is probably I have a grudge and want to take revenge on me, so I asked Mrs. Tongpan to leave a message for me. If I don’t go, it will make them even more grudgey. I’m not afraid of them doing anything, but I’m pregnant with a child now, so I’m afraid of getting hurt. "Su Wenyue is not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble, but it involves Han Yu, and she is afraid that if she doesn't go, they will use tricks to frame Han Yu behind his back, and she is also worried about the child in her belly, so she is so hesitant.
"Now that I know it's because of Mrs. Wang, I can't go. Wouldn't it give Mrs. Wang a chance to take revenge on you?"
"If I hadn't taken care of the child in my belly, I wouldn't be afraid. I would definitely be able to take care of Mrs. Tongpan and Mrs. Wang. Hey! The child in my belly is more important now, so I won't take that risk. It's just that I refuse here. "Mrs. Tongpan, Master Tongpan will definitely find a way to deal with you, so you have to be more careful."
"Do not worry."
Su Wenyue didn't go there in person, but she still sent the nanny next to her to show her importance. Although Aunt Li was sometimes a bit rigid and refused to change, she had a lot of tricks, which she learned from the big house. , don’t worry about not being able to cope.
"Madam asked the old slave to come and complain to Madam Tongpian. Madam wanted to come, but it's really difficult to be pregnant with twins. She can't even leave the house on weekdays, let alone come to a place so far away from Fucheng. If she's pregnant with twins, If the child has something, I am afraid that Mrs. Tongpan will be upset, so she specially prepared a gift for the old slave to deliver. "
Mrs. Tongpan did not expect that Su Wenyue would not even give her face. She would deliberately torment Su Wenyue because she was pregnant with a child, otherwise she would not have called Su Wenyue under the guise of a banquet. Unexpectedly, Su Wenyue's small side Mrs. Wei actually dared to reject her. She was really arrogant. No wonder the woman was so angry. Su Shi was too arrogant.
"Mom, let me just say it. The Su family is not an economical person and is too arrogant. I'll forget it. My husband is only an eighth-rank official, one rank lower than Mr. Han. She won't give him any face. Yes, mother, you are a dignified Mrs. Tongpan, and Mrs. Su dares to do this, she really doesn't take people seriously." Ms. Sun Wang tried her best to fan the flames in front of Mrs. Tongpan.
When Mrs. Tongpan heard that Mrs. Su dared to refuse her invitation, her face was not good at first. After hearing Mrs. Sun's words, she became even more unfavorable to Su Wenyue. She was thinking about how to punish Su Wenyue and vent her anger on her daughter's behalf. Earn your own face.
"Don't worry, daughter. Since Mrs. Su refuses to come because she is refusing to have a baby in her belly, I will go to Xinye County in person. I want to see what other reasons she has to evade, huh!" Mrs. Tongpan's face turned solemn. , quite a bit majestic
Mrs. Wang Sun got support from her mother, Mrs. Tongpan, and went to Mr. Tongpan again. This time it was about Mr. Wang. If she didn't hurry up, her father would not only have her daughter, but also her husband. I'm afraid the son-in-law won't take it very seriously, but fortunately her mother is there to help.
"Dad, you have to think of something for Dongsheng. You can't always let him stay in such an eighth-level position. Dongsheng is your direct son-in-law. If he becomes successful, it will also look good on you. This time, the deputy lieutenant will The position has been taken by a new man named Han. Dad, please find another position for Dongsheng."
"Yes, sir, you should pay more attention to your son-in-law's affairs."
"Okay, you two are housewives. What do you know? You think it's so easy to get promoted! You can get whatever position you want? Even if I am a general judge, I can't ignore the court's laws, otherwise there will be many people waiting for you. They are trying to catch me, not to mention that the situation in the court is very chaotic now. The emperor's rights have been emptied out, and my prestige as a general judge has been greatly reduced. The prefect refuses to deal with me, so I have to keep my tail between my legs. You just Can’t stop.”
Sun Bocheng said angrily, if it weren't for his legitimate daughter in front of him, he wouldn't want to care about it at all. At the beginning, he said that Wang Dongsheng was not good enough and was too timid to make it happen, but his daughter screamed and clamored to marry him, but in the end he didn't. You're wrong. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't even be able to reach the eighth rank. How could he be so useless and become his son-in-law, Sun Bocheng.
"But Dongsheng is your legitimate son-in-law, you have to think of a way, otherwise even a little bitch can climb on top of me, step on my head and dominate me, I can't stand it!"
"That's what you asked for. Who made you insist on marrying such a useless man in the first place? If you want to be promoted, you won't seek it yourself. Every time you come back to your parents' home to work as a lobbyist, do you have anything else to say? "
"Dad, it's useless to talk about this now. Just for the sake of my daughter, help Dongsheng."
Sun Bocheng was angry. After all, he was his daughter-in-law and son-in-law. How could he not help? "There are no other positions available for the time being. If the son-in-law wants to be promoted, he still has to find a way to move the position from the boy named Han." , Fortunately, the boy named Han doesn’t have a deep foundation.”
