"Madam, Madam Zhou obviously has bad intentions. You should not listen to her. Otherwise, the baby in your belly will be worried, and you will be worried too." Seeing a worried look on Su Wenyue's face, Nanny Chen hurriedly advised. She had also heard what Zhou Wang said just now. Although it was somewhat credible, there was also a suspicion that she wanted to make Madam worry deliberately. Otherwise, if they knew that Madam was pregnant and should not worry, they could just let Master Zhou tell their masters. Why bother to be mysterious in front of Madam.
Even though Zhou Wangshi was a person with deep thoughts, she could not hide her thoughts in front of Nanny Zhou and Nanny Chen, who were old people used to seeing the struggles in the inner court. That was why Zhou Wangshi left in a hurry under the gaze of Nanny Chen, otherwise she would have planned to say something.
"Don't worry, Madam. I know what Mrs. Zhou Wang is up to. I don't take her words to heart, but her news may not be false. Lord Wang has been in the position of the eighth rank for so long. It's time for him to move on. It's normal for him to feel uncomfortable when his position is occupied by my husband. It's human nature."
Su Wenyue would not be so stupid as to be disturbed by a few words from Zhou Wangshi, but Lord Wang was indeed a trouble. Madam Wang had been rampant in Xinluo Town for so long, not only because of her temper that others did not want to provoke, but also because of Madam Wang's family. Madam Wang's father, Sun Bocheng, was the Tongpan of Yiyang Prefecture. The Tongpan had always been a person trusted by the emperor. Although the court was in turmoil now and the Tongpan's power had declined, his status was still there.
The female guests had dispersed, but the front yard was still bustling with activity. The men were drinking and chatting, and were in high spirits. Han Yu couldn't leave, and was worried about Su Wenyue, so he sent his servant to ask about the situation and told Su Wenyue to go to bed early and not wait for him.
Su Wenyue had something she wanted to discuss with Han Yu, so she naturally wouldn't go to bed so early. She lay on the couch and took a nap for a while. When she woke up, she didn't know how much time had passed. The people in the front yard had not yet dispersed, so Su Wenyue sent a servant over to find out what was going on.
Han Yu and the others were holding a banquet here, and Sikong Ling had already received the news.
"This Han Yu is quite good at scheming. He has climbed to the seventh rank by taking shortcuts in a short period of time. He is quite capable." Sikong Ling took a sip of wine and said with an unclear expression. The man in black stood aside silently without saying a word. He knew that his master was not asking him a question and did not need him to answer.
"How is her condition? Is she still suffering from morning sickness?" Sikong Ling looked a little worried when he said this. Last time at Lingyin Temple, he saw that Su Wenyue's face did not look good. She was only four months pregnant but her belly was so big. Later, he asked someone to find out more carefully and found out that she was pregnant with twins.
She was thin and petite, and she had just reached the age of marriage. It was hard enough for her to be pregnant with one baby, let alone twins. If the pregnancy was not good, it would be a very dangerous thing. Sikong Ling didn't care about the baby in Su Wenyue's belly, but he didn't want Su Wenyue to get into trouble.
"Although the Han family is not a large mansion, the servants are very tight-lipped. I finally got some news. Madam Han should be fine. It is said that her appetite has improved and she can eat a lot in a day. Some people saw that Madam Han's complexion and spirit are much better than before."
Sikong Yu felt much more at ease after hearing this. He didn't know why he was so concerned about a woman with whom he had little interaction.
"Also, Sun Tongpan is very dissatisfied with Han Yu's promotion this time. He thinks Han Yu is blocking his son-in-law's path. I'm afraid he will take some action in the near future."
"I understand. You go down and ask them to keep a close eye on her and report any news immediately. I don't want any major changes to affect her mood before the baby is born." Sikong Yu was not interested in whether Han Yu would be framed. However, if something happened to Han Yu, Su Wenyue would definitely be affected. Being pregnant with twins was already dangerous enough, and she couldn't take any more risks.
"Yes." The men in black knew that their master was too concerned about the woman, but this was not their business. They only needed to follow orders.
Han Yu came back from the front reeking of alcohol. After washing up, he came in and saw Su Wenyue reading a book. Han Yu frowned and snatched the book from Su Wenyue's hand.
"Didn't I tell you to go to bed early? Why are you still reading so late? Your eyes and body are tired. You just recovered a little but you don't take it seriously. What can I say to you?" Han Yu's tone was inevitably a little aggressive after drinking.
Su Wenyue also knew that she was in the wrong, but it was boring to just sit there, so she took Han Yu's hand and explained.
"Don't be angry. I just slept for a while. I couldn't sleep well, so I read a book for a while. You know I care about the baby in my belly the most. How could I not be careful? Have you dispersed in front?"
After hearing what Su Wenyue said, Han Yu glanced at Nanny Li who was serving on the side. After getting Nanny Li's answer, his expression relaxed a little. A hint of fatigue appeared on his face, and he hugged Su Wenyue.
"Wife, how do you feel today? Are you tired? Did those women say anything? If they did, don't take it to heart. They are just jealous of your husband's promotion. After all, I have little experience. There are many people who are dissatisfied with my current position." Han Yu said this because he obviously knew what Zhou Wang said to Su Wenyue.
"That's why I'm a little worried. Those sour words mean nothing, but they will be forgotten once they enter my ears. What I'm really worried about is those people who are trying to trip you up behind your back. Even if some people don't look bad on the surface, who knows what they are thinking? Human hearts are the most unpredictable. Sometimes climbing too fast is not a good thing." Su Wenyue said with a sigh.
Han Yu didn't expect that his wife thought so much and even raised the issue to other levels. As expected, she was his wife. Unlike other women, she cared about the main issues. However, Han Yu didn't want his wife to worry about these things.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Don't worry, my dear wife. I am your husband. Since I have climbed to this position, I am capable of keeping it. Even if they are trying to trip you up, I am capable of dealing with it. You just need to take good care of yourself and the children, and don't worry about these things."
"But..., do you know what Madam Zhou said when she left today? Your current position was originally decided by Sun Tongpan for his son-in-law, Lord Wang. No matter how others say it, Sun Tongpan is definitely not satisfied with your promotion this time. Even if he doesn't make trouble behind your back, I'm afraid he won't hope for your best. Husband, what do you think about this? Otherwise, go find my father and let him think of a solution. Although the Su family has been divided, our branch has not entered the court according to the rules set by our ancestors, but if we really get into trouble, grandpa and uncle will not just watch and do nothing."
