Mrs. Yao Qin also heard about it unintentionally while chatting with someone, and she didn’t care at first, just treating it as gossip. Later, it suddenly occurred to her that the Su Family was Su Wenyue’s mother’s family. She immediately grabbed somebody and inquired thoroughly finding out that something had happened to Madam Han’s big brother. Seeing that Madam Han’s mood was still quite good these past few days, sometimes even joking around with them, and showing no sign of worry, it was clear that she was completely unaware of the incident.
Fired up like a chicken injected with blood, Mrs. Yao Qin, thinking she had obtained incredible news, hurriedly set off for the Han Family, pondering how it had always been Madam Zhao who showed off in front of Madam Han. Now, it was her turn, and after this, Madam Han would trust her even more, and she might even become more valued by Madam Han than Madam Zhao.
Having benefitted from Su Wenyue, Mrs. Yao Qin racked her brains to perform well in front of her, and without consulting anyone, she rushed over to the Han Family.
As someone who often visited the Han Family, Mrs. Yao Qin was not stopped by the servants, who only reported her arrival. Aunt Li and Grandma Chen, who were attending to Su Wenyue, saw Mrs. Yao Qin come hastily and were unable to stop her in time. They exchanged a worried look, thinking that things had been peaceful for several days, hoping no problems would arise now.
“Madam Yao, our madam has just woken up from her nap. Perhaps you could sit in the outer chamber for a while. I am about to serve the madam some food, she is carrying a child and cannot go hungry, nor can she be subjected to any distress. I hope you will understand,” Aunt Li hurriedly spoke before Mrs. Yao Qin, despite the flaws in her attempt to divert, knowing that Madam might find her words inappropriate. But there was no other choice at this moment; it was a veiled reminder to Mrs. Yao Qin.
Mrs. Yao Qin was inherently reckless, keen to make a good impression in front of Su Wenyue, and failed to grasp the different meanings in Aunt Li’s words. She instead felt that this old servant lacked awareness, interrupting her master’s conversation with no understanding of the rules.
“Aunt Li, a servant should know a servant’s place. At this hour, who needs food! If the Madam learns about the news from the Su Family, I’m afraid she won’t be able to eat anything at all. Servants like you only cause trouble!” Mrs. Yao Qin glared at Aunt Li.
Aunt Li wasn’t sure what Mrs. Yao Qin intended to say, but upon hearing Mrs. Yao Qin’s words, her heart skipped a beat: “Madam Yao, you mustn’t talk nonsense. One can eat whatever they like, but words should not be spoken lightly. If you repeat some rumor to the Madam and cause her distress, harming the child in her stomach, the Master won’t let it go easily once he finds out. You must think carefully before you speak!”
Aunt Li’s words carried a certain threat now, as she thought they needed to notify the Master quickly. With the conversation having reached this point, even if they convinced Mrs. Yao Qin to refrain from talking recklessly, the Madam might not believe her explanation. Only the Master’s return could persuade the Madam.
Seeing the situation, Grandma Chen was very worried. Catching Aunt Li’s signal, she immediately understood and stealthily left to find Han Yu at the military camp and send Cheng Hai to fetch him.
“You must hurry. The Madam values her mother’s family greatly. Knowing that there’s trouble in the Su Family, how can she stay calm and listen to persuasion? Tell the Master to come back as quickly as possible—the quicker, the better!”
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense. Mrs. Yao Qin did not understand the hidden meaning in Aunt Li’s words, but she did hear the threat. An old servant dared to threaten her, and her anger surged. Moreover, having confirmed the accuracy of the news after careful verification, her confidence was solid—she harbored no fear of the old servant’s threats.
“You presumptuous old servant! I, Madam Qin, am not the kind to spread rumors without care. Since I dare to speak of it before the Madam, I can assure you the news I received is true. If you continue to hinder and spoil matters for the Madam, even your own Madam won’t spare you. Don’t think that just because you are old, everyone has to yield to you!” Mrs. Yao Qin had long disapproved of this stern-faced old woman, seeing her as nothing but a proud servant.
Aunt Li’s face darkened. Mrs. Yao Qin could say whatever about her, but she worried that the Madam might get upset because of it. At this point, there was no time to worry about much else; they had to get Mrs. Yao Qin out before the situation worsened.
“It seems Madam Yao must be drunk on wine to come into someone else’s mansion and talk nonsense. Offending the Madam is out of the question—we should send Madam Yao back first!” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“How dare you, you ignorant old fool!”
“Enough, do you still see me as your master?” Suddenly, Su Wenyue sternly interrupted, causing Mrs. Yao Qin and Aunt Li to quiet down immediately. Mrs. Yao Qin looked smug, while Aunt Li appeared worried and indignant at Mrs. Yao Qin’s thoughtlessness.
Su Wenyue felt a sudden tightness in her chest at the mention of her big brother being in trouble; her brain experienced a moment of oxygen deprivation, preventing an immediate reaction. She had noticed that Aunt Li and Grandma Chen were overly anxious these days and thought it was because Han Yu had warned them. Evidently, they had conspired to keep her in the dark, likely related to the morning when Han Yu called Aunt Li and Grandma Chen out. Seeing Aunt Li’s eagerness to get Mrs. Yao Qin out and attempting to cover up, Su Wenyue grew furious on the spot.
“Madam, you—”
“Be silent. Do you still consider me your master at all, daring to hide such a significant matter from me? Aunt Li, you were sent by my mother, and I rely on you, but that does not mean you can deceive me like this and disregard me!” There was uncontrollable anger in Su Wenyue’s voice, but she was eager to know the situation at the Su Family and what had happened to her big brother, so she did not erupt immediately.
“Madam Yao, what exactly happened? What’s wrong with my big brother?!”
“I had just heard the news and came to inform you immediately. I heard that your big brother was attacked by bandits near Anshan and injured by them. Your brother was slashed by a bandit, and when the rescuers arrived, half of his body was drenched in blood!” Mrs. Yao Qin recounted what she had been told, oblivious to Su Wenyue’s suddenly pale face.
“Madam, Madam, please don’t be agitated. Think of the child. Although the Eldest Young Master has been injured, it’s not as serious as Madam Yao said. He has been rescued and is now recovering at home.”
“Yes, Madam, the Eldest Young Master is alright now. As long as he rests and heals properly, everything will be fine. If you get upset and harm the child in your stomach, the Eldest Young Master himself will feel distressed when he finds out.”
Having gone through the ordeal in her previous life, Su Wenyue knew how much she valued the child in her womb. Even when she was resentful, she bore it silently, all for the sake of the child’s well-being. Now having heard this, her anger was unbearable and the suppressed emotions in her heart erupted.
“Child, child, is that all you see aside from the child? Prepare the horse carriage for me; I’m going to the Su Family right now!” Su Wenyue said as she rushed towards the door, holding her stomach,
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, the entire household’s servants grew increasingly frantic. Even Mrs. Yao Qin, witnessing Su Wenyue’s reaction, realized she might have caused a disaster.
