This won’t do, Madam Han has always been good to her, and if Lord Han has truly found someone else outside, Madam Han must be warned in advance to be on her guard, lest those vixens lure Lord Han away and it’s too late by then.

“What can’t be said? Speak quickly, don’t tell me Lord Han has done something to wrong Madam Han? You men are all alike, unable to resist temptations. We women tirelessly manage the household affairs at home, yet you indulge in pleasures outside, completely ignorant of what’s so alluring about those vixens…”

Any legal wife would abhor the women who try to intrude on their relationship with their husbands. As Madam Zhao spoke of this matter, she looked filled with a shared hatred, talking nonstop until Liu Cong interrupted her.

“Talking nonsense! Is the Master that kind of person? He is only keeping these matters from Madam Han because he fears they would worry her, and he expressly instructed us to stay silent. With Madam Han’s stomach growing so large, it is for her own good, not as you imagine. Should the Master hear such talk, he’d certainly be angry. This is just like girls, always overthinking minor issues. I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t you dare bring such baseless speculation in front of Madam Han. If you cause her undue worry, I won’t let you off easily!” warned Liu Cong. He knew his daughter-in-law understood restraint, yet in this matter, it was hard to say.

“I know, there’s no need to be so fierce. But speaking of it, Lord Han does dote on his daughter-in-law. On normal days, he may seem cold as ice, intimidating to behold, yet with Madam Han, he is considerate and gentle. Had I not accidentally witnessed it, I wouldn’t have known Lord Han had such a side in private”

“Naturally, the Master dearly loves Madam Han and is a man of integrity. You women just love to babble on about nothing. Enough now, let’s hand over the children and start dinner. Bloody hell, it’s been too long since I’ve had such good food; I’m going to eat my fill tonight!”

Madame Liu Zhao, now that Liu Cong had understood Han Yu’s intentions, often accompanied Su Wenyue at the Han Family. However, she became cautious in Su Wenyue’s presence, careful not to utter a wrong word, for Su Wenyue would immediately figure it out, well aware of Han Yu’s slyness. If he truly didn’t want her to know something, he certainly wouldn’t leave any opportunity for discovery.

Besides this matter, Madam Zhao informed Su Wenyue of everything and kept nothing secret, as long as Su Wenyue wished to know. Occasionally, Mrs. Yao Qin and others were also invited to the Han Family. Mrs. Yao Qin, however, couldn’t hold back her words, and even if something wasn’t supposed to be mentioned, Su Wenyue easily drew it out of her. It was a pity, though, that Mrs. Yao Qin was also clueless.

That evening, Han Yu returned rather early, bringing along a few people, with a troubled expression on his face that eased only upon seeing Su Wenyue, though a flicker of worry passed through his eyes.

“Madam, greetings.” The men who returned with Han Yu also greeted Su Wenyue.

“My daughter-in-law, what are you doing out here? I have everything arranged. You’re getting bigger by the day and must be cautious in your movements. I am preoccupied with many affairs and can’t attend to everything. You must take good care of yourself,” Han Yu said as he supported Su Wenyue, gently stroking her head, his voice carrying a softness.

The subordinates, witnessing their usually cold and unapproachable superior behaving so tenderly and doting in front of his daughter-in-law, watched in disbelief. And the Master’s daughter-in-law was truly beautiful; even with such a large pregnant belly, she was still more attractive than their own wives, possessing a better temperament, her gentle smile gave a warmth that melted hearts. Any man would be fond of her, no wonder the Master was so enamored by her.

Seeing his subordinates eyeing his daughter-in-law, Han Yu’s face darkened slightly. He subtly moved, positioning his daughter-in-law behind him, his presence exuding a silent chill.

The subordinates shivered and, recognizing the reason behind their superior’s demeanor, swiftly averted their gaze, daring not to look any longer. The Master’s jealousy was formidable, and they didn’t dare provoke him. Otherwise, they might end up harshly disciplined by the Master, remembering the grueling drills he put the soldiers through until they could hardly walk.

Noticing his subordinates were being sensible, Han Yu’s expression softened slightly. However, he kept his protective stance, full of possessiveness.

Su Wenyue was aware that Han Yu had brought people home and specifically came out to offer greetings and arrange dinner. Considering that the servants had always been busy and she, as the Mistress, had never once shown her face, she felt it inappropriate. Feeling energetic today, she had the servants accompany her outside.

“I am aware, don’t worry. I felt quite spirited today, so I came out to have a look. Husband, are you going to discuss business? Don’t mind me, go ahead with your work. Leave the arrangements here to me, and I will have a servant inform you when dinner is ready.”

“Indeed, there are matters to discuss. You shouldn’t be troubling yourself with a belly so large; it could wear you out. The servants can handle these tasks perfectly well. You just go back to your room and rest. Once I’m done with the business, I will join you,” Han Yu said, directing his men to the study and then personally escorting Su Wenyue back to her Room before proceeding.

“These next few days be more vigilant around Madam, and don’t let anyone speak out of turn in her presence. But also be careful not to arouse her suspicions,” Han Yu instructed Grandma Chen and Aunt Li the next day before leaving home.

“Yes, Master, we understand,” both Grandma Chen and Aunt Li acknowledged, though Aunt Li, after a moment of thought, spoke up.

“Master, if I may be so bold, may I inquire what has happened? If we know, we will be better prepared to deflect any inappropriate topics,” reasoned Aunt Li, a woman with cautious thoughts. Knowing the Master had issued such orders, there must have been an incident; she feared being too obvious and causing suspicion in Madam. Hence, the instruction to remain alert likely had much to do with Madam herself. Was it possible something had happened to the Su Family?

Aunt Li had served half her lifetime in the Su Family and was fiercely loyal to the An Family. She was somewhat concerned and needed clarity on the situation to act accordingly. Quick to intervene whenever anything seemed amiss, she wanted to prevent last-minute panic that could jeopardize the Master’s plans. Serving by Madam’s side for so long, she understood that though Madam sometimes appeared naïve, she was not easy to fool. Many things were clear to Madam, depending only on whether she chose to delve deeper. Considering the importance Madam placed on her mother’s family, if something had indeed happened to the Su Family, any sign of irregularity would be nearly impossible to conceal from her sensitive intuition at this time.

Lord Han’s deep gaze settled on Aunt Li, scrutinizing her for a good while. Seeing Aunt Li remained composed, calmly standing there, his satisfaction grew, recognizing her as someone capable of bearing responsibility and being loyal.
