Chapter 241 Applause
Several maids helped an old lady with half white hair to come over. There was another old lady beside the old lady. It was really a combination of taking advantage of their age. I heard that there was another old lady in the Li Mansion, that is, Li Boyan's biological mother. I guess she was the one supported by the maids. She looked quite impressive.
"Mother, you are here!" Mrs. Li saw the old lady coming and hurried over to greet her. She personally supported the old lady over, which directly confirmed the old lady's identity.
"I said, Brother Nian's daughter-in-law, today is your birthday. I didn't want to say anything about you, but look at who they invited. It's too rude. What are the words they said? It's so vulgar." The old lady's mouth was full of criticism and dissatisfaction with Su Wenyue, which shows how big her prejudice against Su Wenyue is.
"Mother, this is the wife of Deputy Captain Han." Madam Li did not answer the old lady directly, but pointed out Su Wenyue's identity. She knew that the old lady also knew it, otherwise she would not appear here. There must be some intention. Maybe her husband said something to the old lady, or the old lady knew something from others. As a daughter-in-law, she did not have such a big face.
"Deputy Captain Han, but the mud-legged man from the countryside, who got his current position by currying favor with his superiors?" The old lady's words were much more poisonous than Madam Li's. It happened that when an old person said these words, no one could blame him, otherwise there would be no such thing as taking advantage of his age.
"What are you talking about, old lady, our son-in-law..." Xiaoxi couldn't help but refute it immediately after hearing this, but was stopped by Su Wenyue.
"Xiaoxi, shut up. You can't question the old lady. Just listen to what she says. After all, it's normal for the old lady to speak harshly at her age. Why should we young people bother with her?" Su Wenyue didn't change her expression after hearing what Old Lady Li said. She still had a smile on her face. She said a few words lightly, but it could make Old Lady Li angry to death.
Everyone heard Su Wenyue's words. It was not obvious that she meant that Old Lady Li was taking advantage of her age. Mrs. Li was very uncomfortable because of the verbal confrontation with Su Wenyue before. After all, she was choked by Su Wenyue twice. After hearing this, she felt much better and didn't dislike Su Wenyue so much. If it weren't for the festival between Lord Han and her husband, she would have wanted to ask Su for advice to learn a few tricks to deal with the old lady. God knows how hateful this old lady is on weekdays. She will only torture her, the daughter-in-law, and stir up the relationship between her and her husband.
"Hmph, Madam Han, could it be that I was wrong? Lord Han was born a peasant. No matter how high he climbs, he cannot hide this fact. And there is a saying that the higher you climb, the worse you fall. It is appropriate to give it to Lord Han."
The old lady was not invited by her son. After all, Li Boyan did not need to deal with a woman or child. It was just that Mrs. Li knew that Han Yu often opposed her son in the military camp. Knowing that Han Yu's wife was coming, she came out to vent her anger for her son and embarrassed Su Wenyue.
"A hero does not ask where he came from. Even if he was born a peasant, my husband still achieved his current position by himself. He is much better than those villains who have no ability and can only do small tricks behind the scenes. Origin is not important. Character is the most important. However, the old lady may not understand these things. After all, wise men see wisdom and benevolence see benevolence." Su Wenyue said this, and she almost said that the old lady was short-sighted and narrow-minded.
"Mrs. Han, don't go too far. If you want to act wild, you should know where this place is. This is the Li Mansion!" Mrs. Li couldn't argue with Su Wenyue. She was so angry that her face turned red. She could only use force. Unfortunately, Su Wenyue didn't buy it.
"So what! I am a guest invited by Mrs. Li. Could it be that Mrs. Li wants to do something to me in broad daylight? I don't think Mrs. Li would do such a stupid thing." Su Wenyue was fearless. Xiaoxi and Aqing moved their bodies and protected Su Wenyue on the inside without making a sound.
"Of course, hum!" Mrs. Li was embarrassed by Su Wenyue, and she didn't dare to do anything to Su Wenyue. She snorted coldly.
"If you ask me, Mrs. Han is too ignorant of the rules. It's not known whether Mr. Han can come back after going to suppress the bandits. I advise you not to be so arrogant, otherwise you will not have a good end." The old lady next to Mrs. Li is Mrs. Li's sister. Seeing that her elder sister was so angry with a young wife who hadn't even grown all her hair, she naturally had to vent her anger for her elder sister.
"Oh, who are you, old lady?! You actually accused our wife. You are so shameless. You dare to curse the court officials and humiliate the officials' families. It is also a crime. Our master is fighting bandits for the court and protecting the safety of the people. Old lady, your conscience must have been eaten by a dog to say such words."
There are some things that Su Wenyue can't say. For someone like Mrs. Li's sister who is not of sufficient status, she is just a commoner, so she handed it over to Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi's mouth is sharp and her eloquence has been trained long ago. Moreover, she is just a maid, so she doesn't need to be so particular about what she says. What she says is even more unpleasant, and her words are like a knife blade sprayed at the old lady.
"Don't scare me. How can a few words be considered illegal?" The old lady was not afraid of anything else, but she became a little uneasy when she heard the maid's confident words about her crime.
Su Wenyue sneered: "All the ladies present here are knowledgeable officials. Can my maid still slander you in front of so many people? I won't bother with you this time. I also hope that this old lady will be careful with her words and deeds, otherwise she will not be able to bear the punishment at such an old age."
"You, you..."
"Okay, you are wrong. Lord Han is working for the court and being loyal to the court. Since Madam Han doesn't care about you anymore, don't say anything more." Mrs. Li knew that her younger sister was wrong this time. If Su Wenyue really wanted to care about it, it would be troublesome. She could only endure it temporarily. Even though she knew why Han Yu went to suppress the bandits this time, she could only know it in her heart. How could such private activities be said in public? This was also the reason why she didn't mention it just now. Her younger sister was impulsive and said it out without holding back.
Su Wenyue curled her lips: "Old Madam Li is more reasonable."
"Tsk tsk, Madam Han is really eloquent, I admire you! I admire you!" Everyone's attention was on Old Madam Li and Su Wenyue. At some point a man came in and clapped his hands.
Li Boyan had originally planned to come in for a walk-through, but when he heard Su Wenyue was "debating with the crowd", he hid in the dark and came out when he had almost finished listening. He was holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant.
