Chapter 598: Don’t argue about the pros and cons
Shuxiang was also a smart person, and was sent here by Su Wenyue. Although he did not claim credit for Su Wenyue in his words, nor did he say anything that sounded nice, but his simple words made these disabled soldiers feel grateful to the extreme. .
Since Madam has good intentions, she must let these people know about it so that Madam's efforts are not in vain. Although Madam does not mean to gain fame and reputation by doing this, it is purely out of kindness, but they, the servants, have to think about Madam.
"Thank you, madam. We will remember your kindness."
These disabled soldiers were already very grateful to be cared for by Su Wenyue, with food, shelter, and respect. However, they did not expect that there would be something even more heart-warming. Although they were injured on the battlefield, It sounds like he was injured honorably, and he really should have received better care, but the reality is not so good.
When they lose their original value, cannot fight on the battlefield, are physically disabled, and almost become a useless person, and there is no chance of taking a step forward, even if the superiors are relatively generous to them, they will inevitably be taken down by the subordinates. The villains calculated and deducted, and in the end they got very little, not to mention the scarce items such as wound medicine. It would be better to use them on useless people like them than on useful people.
The truth is this, the reality is this, they have no choice but to accept it, but there is still injustice in their hearts. Now that they are being treated like this by the general's wife, the various grievances and injustices they suffered before have spread in their hearts, and they are particularly moved because of it. If the general's wife didn't really care about them, how would she pay attention to these details.
"Madam does this not to remind you of your kindness. If you really want to repay Madam, don't do anything that will harm the General's mansion in the future. You can repay Madam by staying calm and peaceful."
Shuxiang answered like this, and the disabled soldiers present did not say anything anymore, because it would be hypocritical to say anything more at this time. It would be better to do something real to repay Madam's kindness. They will definitely remember Madam's kindness to them. In the heart.
Shuxiang is actually better at observing and manipulating people's hearts than Xiao Xi, which is why Su Wenyue reuses her. Looking at the expressions of the people present, she knew that the effect she wanted was achieved, and she left with Xiao Xi very satisfied. .
"Shu Xiang, you are still amazing. You can make them be grateful to my wife with just a few words. I don't have such ability." Xiao Xi said with admiration.
She has no unhappiness or thoughts about Su Wenyue's emphasis on Shuxiang. In her opinion, as long as it is good for Madam, there is no reason to object. Besides, she really admires Shuxiang's ability in her heart, even if she is with Madam, Madam has trained her. She has been here for so long, and she knows in her heart that she is not as capable as Shuxiang. Shuxiang is also loyal to his wife. She will not be jealous or do anything because of it. The important thing is that she understands in her heart that her wife trusts her the most. To trust anyone, as long as you understand this, it is enough.
Shuxiang could feel the sincerity in Xiao Xi's words. There were no maids from other wealthy families who were scheming to win favors. The few of them followed the lady, and they were more like a family, helping and supporting each other, so towards Xiao Xi, she also He didn't say those hypocritical and polite words.
"Xiao Xi, you are doing well. Everyone is good at different things. I may not be as good at some things as you. We learn from each other. In short, we are all doing things for my wife, and we don't compete with each other." Shuxiang said equally sincerely.
"Yes! We all do things for my wife. We don't fight over each other. You and I are both sisters." Xiao Xi said in agreement. After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They felt that there was something extra, and they became closer.
Shuxiang and Xiaoxi returned to Su Wenyue, but saw that Su Wenyue was in a daze holding a post and didn't know what to think. When they came back, they put the post down.
"Madam, what is this post? You won't encounter any troublesome things again, right?" Xiao Xi asked directly, out of concern and habit.
When Su Wenyue heard Xiao Xi's question, she didn't blame Xiao Xi for overstepping or being dissatisfied. She knew that Xiao Xi had such a personality and it was out of concern for her.
Shuxiang looked at it with envy, but it was just envy. Although she is more capable and better than Xiao Xi in many aspects, her position in Madam's heart will never be as good as Xiao Xi's, even if she knows that Madam trusts her very much. She always felt that there was something between Xiao Xi and Madam that they didn't have. Perhaps it was because Xiao Xi had been with Madam since she was a child and had cultivated a relationship for so many years. Xiao Xi did not have as much respect for Madam as they did. For example, Xiao Xi could ask such a question directly and without thinking, but she couldn't. It was a matter of character, and she also lacked Xiao Xi's innocent heart. Xiao Xi's sincerity towards his wife, as long as it was for the good of her, I don't care if I get blamed at all.
"It's a post from the city lord's palace, inviting me to attend the flower viewing banquet."
Seeing Xiao Xi looking at her with concern and worry, Su Wenyue shook her head. She just thought of something else. It was said that Yin Lihua and Chen Li came to Peicheng two days ago. This banquet should be no exception. There will be them.
Thinking that Liu Xinru, the only daughter of the city lord, was very attentive to Liu Xiu and often ran to Liu Xiu during this period, she obviously had some interest in it. However, the city lord did not stop it and let it develop. Su Wenyue wanted to know how Yin Lihua would react. It is really unlucky to meet a man like Liu Xiu as his wife. Apart from career, such a man has nothing but sincerity in his eyes.
When Xiaoxi heard that it was the invitation from the city lord, inviting Su Wenyue to enjoy the flowers, the worry on her face did not diminish at all. In her opinion, because of Zhou Yao's matter, they had already had a grudge with the people in the city lord's mansion. Zhou Yao was the niece of the city lord's wife. Even if they had only a general relationship, she was still her niece. The fact that the lady had slapped Zhou Yao in the face and kicked her out last time was enough to offend the city lord's wife.
"Madam, the city lord's wife will not retaliate against you because of that crazy woman, right?"
"No, the city lord's wife will not be so petty. This flower viewing banquet is actually meant to build relationships with everyone. Even if the city lord's wife is dissatisfied with me because of Zhou Yao's matter, at least she will not do anything too extreme on the surface. As long as this is the case, I, your wife, can handle it."
Su Wenyue said with confidence, not worried at all that the city lord's wife would make things difficult for her because of Zhou Yao's matter. According to the information, even if the city lord's wife is not very smart, she is definitely not stupid, which is enough. As long as she is not too stupid, she will not do anything excessive even if it is difficult. After all, Liu Wenyong had made her attitude clear when Han Yu came to her house to seek justice for her.
