Chapter 322: Chapter 330: More People Added
“Madam, the Master has sent a message over and is waiting for you outside; our Master is really considerate,” Su Wenyue was almost ready to leave when she heard the servant girl beside her whisper in her ear with a giggle.

Su Wenyue’s mouth curled into a smile, “You little girl, stop with your nonsense.”

When Su Wenyue left, she was almost at the same time as Ye Yiyi. Su Wenyue clearly saw that just now, a little girl had whispered a few words into Ye Yiyi’s ear. It seemed that Lord Shangguan was also a doting husband. Ye Yiyi’s temperament gave a glimpse into this—although it could be said to have been nurtured from childhood, the carefree air and ease she carried could not be imitated. If it had been any other man, there might have been a possibility of flattering Ye Yiyi for power, but with Shangguan Wuyou’s background, there was utterly no need for him to humble himself.

Su Wenyue had a good impression of Ye Yiyi and had been thinking of a way to help her and her son recognize General An as their family. Today, after hearing Ye Yiyi’s words, Su Wenyue knew that Ye Yiyi was well aware of General An’s search for Feng Susu and her son. Perhaps Ye Yiyi was the opportunity she had been looking for.

However, although Su Wenyue thought so, she did not attempt to curry favor or rashly approach Ye Yiyi, but waited for an opportunity. Ye Yiyi was a person of clear likes and dislikes—if she sensed even the slightest impropriety or aversion, it would backfire. It was better to maintain the current status and let familiarity grow naturally over several more encounters. Moreover, with Ye Yiyi’s obvious love for good food, Su Wenyue still had some confidence in her heart.

At the entrance of Wei Mansion, Su Wenyue saw that Han Yu was standing with Deng Chen, as well as a young master she didn’t recognize. Ye Yiyi also saw this, and Han Yu and Shangguan Wuyou introduced the two women to each other. They smiled at one another.

“What a coincidence, I was just thinking I should get to know such a good person as Sister and find an opportunity to get acquainted. It turns out our husbands already knew each other,” said Ye Yiyi with a sweet smile, looking like a cute and charming young girl, nothing like her earlier fierceness.

Su Wenyue also smiled and nodded, “Indeed, it’s such a coincidence, and it’s also fate. I felt a connection with Sister the moment I saw you.”

Su Wenyue had been wondering when she would have the opportunity, or whether she should create one to get acquainted with Ye Yiyi, but just after leaving Wei Mansion, the opportunity came. Since her rebirth, she felt lucky—as if she had walked off all her bad luck in her previous life—and with this thought in her heart, her smile became even more genuine.

Seeing their own wives getting along so well, the two men couldn’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie, smiling at each other, feeling a bit closer.

“How did you two get to know each other? What’s the story?” asked Shangguan Wuyou with Ye Xinxin in tow. Others might not know, but he was very clear about his little wife’s nature. She was just as clear in her likes and dislikes, much like him, and it could be said that they influenced each other. Seeing this, it seemed she liked Han Yu’s wife a lot, otherwise she wouldn’t have spoken so kindly. His wife’s mouth was like a knife—when displeased, her words could be especially harsh and cutting.

“Sister Su is a good person,” Ye Xinxin recounted the events of the banquet, emphasizing how Su Wenyue had given up delicious food for her, marking her as a truly wonderful person. Shangguan Wuyou couldn’t help but laugh—it seemed his wife had been won over by food. But Shangguan Wuyou also understood that there was more to it than that. His wife might seem simple and straightforward, but she was raised in a prestigious family and was not as naïve as she appeared. Han Yu’s wife seemed to be a very clear and straightforward person.

Hearing that Su Wenyue’s family had a good cook with many delicious dishes, Ye Xinxin was even more excited, insisting on visiting together.

“If Sister Ye wants to come, I would be overjoyed. When it comes to cooking, indeed, not many can compare with our family’s chef. If you do come, I will personally cook a few good dishes for you, guaranteeing your satisfaction,” Su Wenyue rarely talked so big, but seeing Ye Xinxin piquing her interest at the banquet, she could already guess what types of flavors Ye Xinxin preferred. Not to mention, she had plenty of sliced bamboo shoots at home, and not just in the way the Wei Mansion’s chefs prepared them.

“Definitely, definitely,” persisted Ye Xinxin, nodding eagerly, looking very enraptured by the idea, as if she couldn’t wait to go right then. Su Wenyue found this quite amusing.

Su Wenyue and Ye Xinxin getting along so felicitously was something both Han Yu and Shangguan Wuyou were pleased to see.

Sitting in the horse carriage, Su Wenyue asked Han Yu about what had happened earlier, and Han Yu did not conceal anything. After all, these matters were linked to managing relations in the backyard, and knowing them would help maintain proper measure when dealing with other madams and misses.

Su Wenyue frowned slightly upon hearing this, clearly concerned for Han Yu’s current difficult situation. It was only a banquet today, but if he went to the military camp, someone might try to trip Han Yu up. Hadn’t it been the same back in Xinluo Town?

Seeing Su Wenyue frown, Han Yu soothed her by smoothing out the crease and patting her head, “You need not worry about these things. I have my own strategies in mind. Besides, the current situation is exactly what I have intentionally cultivated. With your husband’s ability, it is not difficult to win over a few people. Making connections is about quality, not quantity.”

Listening to Han Yu’s meaningful words, Su Wenyue thought deeper, appearing contemplative but soon found herself without the mind to ponder these matters as they arrived at the doorstep. They saw two horse carriages parked in front of their home, arriving back-to-back with their own. One was immediately recognizable as the carriage Su Wenyue had sent to fetch family from the countryside. She had expected them to arrive the next day, not so soon.

“Father and Mother have arrived,” said Su Wenyue to Han Yu and quickly moved to exit the carriage, but Han Yu held her back.

“What’s the rush? There’s no need to hurry; it’s only a moment,” Han Yu said, draping a cloak over Su Wenyue before letting her get off the carriage.

Old Man Han and his party also alighted from their carriage, staring at the imposing mansion before them, momentarily stunned. Even with mental preparation and knowing that their Fourth Daughter-in-law was generous, they hadn’t expected her to buy such a sizable estate.

“Good gracious, we haven’t gotten lost, have we? Is this really where our Fourth Child lives? I hope we haven’t mistaken the place; that would be terribly embarrassing,” said Mrs. Yang, gaping, her voice a mix of nervousness and discomfort. After all, as a country old lady, she didn’t have much worldly experience and was rather fearful when faced with reality that exceeded expectations.

It wasn’t until they saw their youngest son and daughter-in-law appear that Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang truly relaxed, smiling joyously.

Meanwhile, more people were disembarking from the carriage than expected. When Han Yu and Su Wenyue saw Han Lin supported by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang’s cousin, their expressions turned slightly strange. The couple exchanged glances.
