The damn nerve of him, in the Han Family’s territory, in front of her own

Father and Mother, Han Yu had actually dared to threaten her. Nonetheless, Su Wenyue still compromised without much backbone, for who could blame her? This man was bound to achieve great heights in the future, and her mother’s family would need his support. She would endure! Besides, this man was also her backbone. So it was settled; she would graciously forego this advantage. One mustn’t be short-sighted in dealing with others.

“Eldest Sister, Second Sister, since my Husband has spoken thus, I should let him support me. Otherwise, Husband might be displeased. I am married now; a wife regards her husband as heaven. I shall heed my Husband’s wishes.”

“Enough of this dallying! What are you still doing here? Today is Yueyue’s return to her family after marriage—why have you come to stir up trouble?

Clear off back to where you came from. Do you intend to vex me deliberately?” Master Su was also frustrated with the two illegitimate concubine’s daughters who tried to trip up his good girl, mocking his good girl. In anger, he didn’t even offer lunch, but directly shooed them away.

The concubine’s daughters grew even paler. Though they revered their Queen Mother, their fear of Master Su was even greater. Master Su had never minced words with them even as children, and he made all the decisions regarding external affairs. If they angered him and he made things difficult for their

Husbands, they’d find no peace upon returning to their husband’s families.

“Father, Aunt, we will take our leave now.”

Su Cai and Su Yun exchanged glances, seeing regret in each other’s eyes. They had enjoyed a few good days and had become somewhat complacent, losing their common sense and truly believing they could mock their legitimate sister for marrying a Farmer. But even if their sister’s marriage seemed lackluster, she had the support of the Queen Mother and her full Brothers—it was not their place to mock her. They had been too presumptuous, and now they had needlessly angered the Queen Mother and also displeased their Father.

Su Cai offered her respects to Master Su and Madam Su before departing. As she passed by Su Wenyue, she paused, and after some thought, she said: “Younger Sister, I was wrong earlier. I was misguided, and that’s why I spoke out of turn. But the mansion’s cook really is skilled. While no match for the Su Mansion’s, the differing tastes crafted by different chefs can be quite unique. If you wouldn’t disdain it, I could occasionally send some dishes over for you to try—consider it a gesture of goodwill from your sister.”

Being the smart person she was, Su Cai realized her previous frivolity; understanding the crux of the matter, she knew what she had to do. Her words were sincere, with no underlying intent, and sure enough, the countenances of Master Su and Madam Su relaxed significantly. Seeing this, Su Cai firmed her resolve: as long as Su Wenyue agreed, she would go to all lengths to gather delicious foods and curry favor with her.

“Of course, that would be lovely. We are good sisters. I see no reason to refuse Eldest Sister’s kindness.” Su Wenyue graciously accepted Su Cai’s good intentions. Since Su Cai and Su Yun had previously meant no good, she’d complied; naturally, she wouldn’t refuse now.

Although Su Yun wasn’t as sharp-witted as Su Cai, she knew that following Su Cai’s lead was never wrong. She hurriedly agreed as well, and only after receiving Su Wenyue’s consent did they leave the Su Mansion.

“Oh yes, Mother, where have my brothers gone? Today is my return after marriage, yet they’re not at home. They always said they doted on me the most, which is clearly a lie! And what about my Sister-in-law?” Thinking of her two brothers who had still not made an appearance, Su Wenyue inquired; she held special affection for her two older siblings who had cherished her since childhood.

“Your big brother is escorting your great-grandfather to Chang’an. Your Second Brother left on business two days ago; he was supposed to return this morning. There must have been some delay on the road. But don’t you worry, he will certainly hasten back for you,” she was reassured.

“Good, it would be nice if Second Brother could make it back in time for lunch.’ Su Wenyue nodded in understanding. In her previous life, she hadn’t returned after the marriage, so she was unaware of these matters. Later on, she heard no news of misfortune befalling the Su Family; both her brothers were well, so she wasn’t worried.

With still half an hour left before lunch, Master Su took Han Yu aside to talk, and Su Wenyue chatted with Mrs. An about the things that had happened at the Han Family. Of course, she chose only to speak of the good to prevent worrying Mrs. An and left out the part about Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang giving her a hard time during the Tea ceremony.

“That’s good. The Han Family has kept their word and treated you fairly. You don’t know how worried Mother has been these past days. You’ve been pampered by my side since you were young and never faced hardships. Given the Han Family’s conditions, I was afraid you’d suffer after marrying over. Now that you seem to have adjusted well, I’m relieved. However, you’ve become a bit thinner over these past few days,” she observed.

Daughter had always been straightforward, so Mrs. An did not doubt whatever Su Wenyue said. Knowing that her daughter was doing fine, she felt much relieved.

Although she hadn’t noticed herself, Su Wenyue laughed: “Being a bit thinner is good! In our Daming Dynasty, being slender is considered beautiful. Everyone prefers a delicate waist and slim beauty. My looks are fairly decent; it’s just that I’ve been a bit overweight. If I could slim down, I’d surely look even more beautiful.

Despite not being swayed by her feminine allure, Han Yu still managed to leave Su Wenyue feeling somewhat insecure and wounded,

“Nonsense. Don’t listen to the nonsense of others; who says ‘thin is in’? It’s more important to maintain a healthy body! They don’t know a damn thing. Being a bit chubby is better—it’s about ease in childbirth, appearing blessed with good fortune. Those who are frail and weak are like sickly beauties—no family’s Master would like that.”

Mrs. An imparted to her daughter some more wisdom on how to conduct oneself in life, as well as the schemes within the backyard. Su Wenyue listened attentively, sighing in her heart that if only in her previous life she had paid heed to her Mother’s nagging and truly remembered these lessons, she could have avoided much grief.

Initially, Mrs. An only hoped her daughter would absorb some of her words, for these were genuinely useful lessons, the advice passed down through generations from the elders—lessons born from blood and tears. Even a little bit could spare one some detours. Yet unexpectedly, her daughter was listening intently, so she became even more enthusiastic, wishing she could impart all she knew to her Daughter.

“Daughter, after all is said and done, you must try to conceive a Child sooner rather than later to secure your position within the Han Family. Mother may not think much of them, but since you’re married there, you should root yourself firmly. That way, even if Han Yu does indeed become successful, with a child of yours and your mother’s family’s support, it’s unlikely he would ever treat you lightly,” she advised..
