Chapter 238: Pushing the limits
"Madam, if you don't want to go, Mr. Li and our family are not at odds with each other. The two families have never been in contact before. At this time, they sent an invitation when you are not at home. I'm afraid they don't have any good intentions." Aunt Li said worriedly that she didn't know much about Han Yu going to suppress the bandits, but she also knew some inside information, so she was even more concerned about the Li family, fearing that the Li family would be unfavorable to Su Wenyue.
"It was at this time that they sent an invitation and I decided to go. Otherwise, I would have lost the battle. Besides, I also wanted to see what they wanted to do. Maybe I thought I was easy to bully after my husband went out!"
Su Wenyue did not listen to Nanny Li's opinion. She knew that Nanny Li was worried that the Li family would be unfavorable to her. However, in broad daylight and in front of so many people, the Li family did not dare to do anything to her. At most She was really not afraid of verbally attacking her. Moreover, when the Li family hosted a banquet, almost all the official ladies here would go there. She not only wanted to hear if there was any news, but also to show her attitude.
Even though Su Wenyue didn't go out much these days, she knew that these people were talking behind their backs. Especially the matter of Han Yu going to suppress the bandits was a hot potato, so no one was willing to take over. If Han Yu hadn't suppressed the bandits, he would It was a frivolous matter for Han Yu to be dismissed and dismissed from office. If he really went to suppress the bandits, those bandits were so fierce and had internal agents. It was very likely that they would never come back. It would be difficult to advance or retreat. I'm afraid many people would laugh at their family's jokes. Woolen cloth.
It's not that Su Wenyue is motivated and has to save face, but if you are too weak and give in on some things, people will think you can be bullied. Since Han Yu has embarked on this path, there will inevitably be times like this in the future. She can defend the rear If he can live and protect himself and his children, Han Yu can work hard without any worries.
"Madam, your Excellency has gone out to suppress bandits. If something happens to you, what will happen to the children? If for no other reason, just for the sake of the children, Madam, please bear with me for the time being." Aunt Li obviously said
"Mother Li, I didn't go to the banquet just to be angry. This is not something that can be solved by giving in. Even if I give in this time, they will still come to bully me later. There is no way to retreat at that time. On the contrary, because we showed our cowardice first and were at a disadvantage, those people will only push forward."
Aunt Li felt a little ashamed after hearing Su Wenyue's words. After all, she was thinking too narrowly. She only thought about how to protect herself and failed. She was not as far-sighted as Madam and could see things thoroughly. Although she was worried , but it’s hard to stop Madam from attending the banquet.
"Madam, why don't you bring Miss Lan Xin and Miss Lan Fang with you? Although Miss Lan Xin and Miss Lan Fang are just concubines of the Hou Mansion, just the word "House Mansion" can scare many people. Let them know that Madam has no other support except adults, so they will naturally not dare to be presumptuous. "Mama Li was really worried and just wanted to give Su Wenyue more help.
Su Wenyue still rejected Nanny Li's proposal. After all, Nanny Li came from the Su family, and sometimes she had a different starting point.
"No, let's go alone. Since I married into the Han family and became the wife of the Han family, I have to act from the perspective of the Han family. I can't always rely on my parents' family to solve things. Unless there is really no other way, I hope you will also remember Keep this in mind. As for Lan Xin and Lan Fang, I asked them to help me take care of the children at home. Although they are still young, they are still masters. They are from the Marquis family, and their upbringing is different from that of ordinary ladies from the family. I can handle everything.”
The identities of Lan Xin and Lan Fang are not completely useless. Su Wenyue's worry is different from that of Granny Li. She is not afraid that those people will make things difficult for her in the Li family, but that they are afraid that they will take advantage of her absence to attack the three children. Human insidiousness, since Han Yu can be framed like this, such a thing is not impossible. Lan Xin and Lan Fang grew up in a big house. The tricks in the back house were nothing to them. With them taking care of their three children at home, she could rest assured. If nothing else worked, they could still do it. Protect the three children and go to Su’s house.
Aunt Li heard the meaning of beating from Su Wenyue's words, and she felt a little alarmed. She was sent here by the Su family and was already a member of the Han family, but sometimes she still regarded herself as a servant of the Su family. It is indeed inappropriate to consider things from the Su family's perspective. After all, after staying in the Su family for so many years, it was difficult to adapt. If not for the Madam's suggestion, she would not have been able to wake up and she should completely change this problem.
Su Wenyue was satisfied when she saw Grandma Li's taught expression. Smart people are smart people. They don't need to explain things too clearly, just explain it in a few words.
"Thank you, Madam, for your advice. I have been taking care of you these days. I will definitely remember Madam's teachings and put the Han family first in everything. I will never dare to do the same thing again."
"It's good that you understand. I don't mean to criticize you harshly. After all, the Su family is also my natal family. It's the place where I was raised since I was a child. How could I not care about it? But there are some things you must know how to measure. Aunt Li He is an old man and has experienced a lot. Now that he understands this, he will definitely do well. "
Su Wenyue went out the next day, took care of the children first, and warned sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang before leaving.
"Don't worry, cousin, we will definitely take good care of the three little guys. You have to be careful too. Not many of those ladies are easy to worry about."
"I know, don't worry, as long as you help me take good care of the three little guys, my worries will be solved."
Because the situation was different, she couldn't make any mistakes at this time, so as not to give someone a handle to threaten Han Yu. For safety reasons, Su Wenyue sent someone to call Xiaoxi back from the farm yesterday, and brought two guards with her. Most of them stayed at home to protect her cousin and two children.
Just as she was about to go out, she saw Su Hengyi and Feng Ruolin coming over. Su Wenyue was delighted. This was really a pillow for her when she was sleepy.
"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Of course we are here for you. We just found out last night that the Li family wanted to invite you to a banquet. We were afraid that something might go wrong, so we rushed to you before dawn. After rushing all the way, we finally caught up with you. Let your brother escort you to the Li family. I will take care of your two cousins and the children at home, so there won't be any omissions. My maid will go with you."
Before Su Hengyi could speak, Feng Ruolin explained everything in a string of words. She originally wanted to go to the banquet with Su Wenyue herself. After all, it was not easy for Su Hengyi, a grown man, to enter the inner house. However, she thought it would not be good for her to go with him, so she asked the maid to follow Su Wenyue to protect her safety.
