Chapter 543 Proof of Action
"I've met the mistress!" The two brothers Qi Shen and Qi Yun knelt down in front of Su Wenyue and gave Su Wenyue a formal ceremony. In the past, Qi Yun and Qi Shen did not do so because of some thoughts and pride in their hearts. To bow to Su Wenyue in the true sense is to not truly acknowledge Su Wenyue's position as mistress in their hearts. After all, due to certain things and the concepts of this era, they all have some misunderstandings about Su Wenyue. The attitude was not respectful enough, not because of what she had done, but because she did not treat Su Wenyue as her mistress.
This is also the norm in upper class society. In this society, women have a relatively low status and are dependent on men. In large families, the secret guards only obey the master. They do not need to obey the orders of the mistress, but only need to respect them.
It was for these reasons that Su Wenyue jumped off the cliff so decisively that they were so shocked, ashamed, and blamed for failing to protect their mistress.
Han Yu understood the mood of Qi Yun and others, and treated them differently from other subordinates, a little more tolerant, so he clearly saw it, didn't say anything more, and didn't make any more demands. Now that he saw that he valued them His subordinates truly admired his daughter-in-law, and Han Yu felt a little more pleased.
Seeing brothers Qi Yun and Qi Shen kneeling there, Han Yu didn't say anything, but let go of his wife's hand and let her handle it by herself. He didn't have high demands on his wife, but she still had to do these most basic things. He also believed that his wife had such ability.
Su Wenyue didn't have any special feelings about the servant kneeling down, and she even sneered at Chen Li's remarks about everyone being equal. The rules of this society were like this. It was natural for a slave to kneel before his master. It was just Qi Yun and Qishen's brother. It's different. If she hadn't been persecuted by Wang Mang, her status would have been much higher than hers. Besides, regardless of their previous status, they are now Han Yu's valued subordinates and his right-hand man, so Qi Yun and Qi Shen are both brothers. She was still a little flattered when he knelt down and kowtowed, and looked at Han Yu at a loss.
This was Han Yu's subordinate. Su Wenyue thought of letting Han Yu handle it, but Han Yu stood there and said nothing, and even let go of her hand, clearly meaning to let her handle it by herself.
Su Wenyue was a little at a loss for a moment, but she didn't have stage fright. If she backed down at this time, it would be too embarrassing and it would be a waste of Han Yu's efforts. Han Yu wanted to establish her status in the hearts of his subordinates and let her take the opportunity to conquer Qi Yun. Brother Qi Shen, thus allowing her status not only in the back house, but also at the front.
"Get up quickly, there is no need for this! I heard Han Yu say that you are quite guilty because of this incident, and feel that you have not been able to protect yourself well. There is no need to treat me with such a big gift because of this incident. The situation was like this that day. No wonder you, you have done your best and fulfilled your responsibilities. I will not blame you for this, especially Han Yu. "
"Ma'am, I don't blame you because I'm generous. No matter what the situation was that day, it's my fault for not protecting my wife. Please punish me, madam." The two brothers Qi Yun and Qi Shen were still kneeling there upright, refusing to get up. Brothers are all people who accept death and will never change what they have decided.
Seeing them like this, Su Wenyue did not continue to let them get up. She only said: "Well, in that case, I will accept your worship. As for the punishment, the past has passed. There is no point in pursuing it anymore. You all You are Han Yu’s right-hand man. Now that we are rectifying the employment situation, I will punish you to work harder for Han Yu in the future, help Han Yu achieve a career, and make up for your mistakes. "
Su Wenyue's words made Qi Yunqishen even more admired. They said that Madam was not an ordinary woman, and she always planned for adults. How stupid they were in the past to think that Madam was not virtuous and generous enough, which led to prejudice and neglect. Heart, and now it turns out that the madam is a chaste and admirable woman. Only a woman like the madam is worthy of being an adult. Other women are not even worthy of carrying the madam's shoes.
"We are your lord's subordinates, and it is natural for us to do our best to serve you. Besides, your lord is kind to us, and we will not hesitate to risk our lives for you. Now that Madam said this, she wants to Let us brothers be spared. We brothers understand very well and accept Madam's feelings. We will work harder for you in the future and will never let you down. "
"In that case, the matter has been explained clearly, please get up quickly." Su Wenyue smiled and asked brother Qi Yun and Qi Shen to get up. In fact, there was another profound meaning in her first sentence. She believed that brother Qi Yun and Qi Shen could listen. She understood, but she didn’t express anything, and she didn’t force it. The promise she forced through this guilt was meaningless. Besides, although she didn’t achieve her original goal, at least he could learn from the behavior of brother Qi Yun and Qishen. There was a sense of respect in the words, which I had never experienced before.
Han Yu watched from the side and naturally understood the meaning of his wife's words. Brother Qi Yun and Qishen just admitted their mistake this time, but did not answer the words that his wife really emphasized. Brother Qi Yun and Qishen could not He didn't understand the deep meaning of his wife's words, but Han Yu was not in a hurry and was waiting to see what would happen next. He was definitely not wrong about brother Qi Yun and Qishen's respect for his wife.
"Brother Qi Yun and Qishen ask Madam for forgiveness again."
Sure enough, Han Yu guessed correctly, and Qi Yun Qishen did not live up to his trust. When he got up, he knelt down again, kowtowed to Su Wenyue again, and knelt there.
"What are you doing again?" Although Su Wenyue was a little surprised, it seemed to be expected. She could almost predict what the brothers Qi Yun and Qi Shen would say next.
"In the past, Qi Yun and Qi Shen had little knowledge and only relied on their own opinions and views. They also listened to some words that were not favorable to Madam, so they misjudged Madam. Although they were polite to Madam, they did not really respect her from the heart. There were many negligences in their actions. Madam, please forgive us brothers. In the future, whenever Madam has an order, we brothers will never refuse and will respect Madam as we do to you." The brothers Qi Yun and Qi Shen accepted Su Wenyue as their mistress from the bottom of their hearts, so they would never say those empty words. Knowing that Madam would not blame them, they would no longer say those words asking for punishment. What they want to express now is an attitude.
"Very good, I feel your sincerity and intentions. As I said before, the past is over, and you didn't really do anything wrong. At least you did what you should do. I won't punish you. I just hope you can do better in the future. Stand up. I never like to understand anything through words. If you really have intentions, you can prove it with actions in the future."
"Yes, I will do it myself and prove it with actions in the future!"
