There is no wall that is impenetrable. They did not tell anyone that Su Wenyue refused to attend the banquet hosted by the wife of the Tongpan, and they didn't know who got the news. Soon everyone in the circle knew about it. They had different opinions, but they all felt depressed by Su Wenyue's behavior. After all, the Tongpan was the second in command of Yiyang Prefecture. Although her authority was not as high as before, her majesty was not something that those under them could challenge. Some admired Su Wenyue's courage, some thought she was overestimating herself, and some even thought Su Wenyue was ungrateful. She was just a small deputy lieutenant's wife, and she had just been promoted, but she was so arrogant that she dared to refuse the wife of the Tongpan!

People in Xinluo Town knew the inside story better. Everyone saw how Su Wenyue offended Wang that day, and it was expected that Madam Wang would instigate the wife of the Tongpan to attack Su Wenyue. Otherwise, given Madam Wang's status and not being the highest in Xinluo Town, how could no one dare to offend her? It was because they were afraid of this relationship. Wang Sun was the legitimate daughter of the Sun family. It was normal for the Sun family to come out and support anyone who dared to offend her.

A few days ago, because of Han Yu's promotion, many ladies and young ladies came to visit. After the news came out, the Han family was finally peaceful. Madam Han had offended the wife of the Tongpan, so they dared not have any contact with her anymore, for fear of offending the Tongpan's wife. It would be fine if they didn't get any benefits, but they didn't want to be remembered by the Tongpan's wife.

When Fang Chen found out about this, she was waiting for Su Wenyue to be in trouble. Now Su Wenyue not only offended Wang Sun, but also the wife of the janitor, yet she still had to suffer such a fate.

Zhou Wangshi was also gloating over other people's misfortune. That day, she went to the Han family to report the news, but Su Shi was still arrogant and didn't even give her any face. Now, she has offended the wife of the magistrate. Let's see what Su Shi will do. Maybe Lord Han will lose his official position soon, and she is still so arrogant.

Liu Zhao and his companions had always been on Su Wenyue's side. Seeing that Su Wenyue had gotten into such a big trouble, they were worried about her and afraid that they would be implicated, so they hurried to the Han family, but did not see Su Wenyue herself.

"Please forgive me, ladies. Our lady is not like other pregnant women. Carrying twins is very hard. She has been feeling unwell these past two days. She has even declined Madam Tongpan's invitation because she is not in good spirits. She is sleeping right now. I am afraid she will not be able to see you ladies. Please forgive me. I will invite you ladies to have a chat when my lady feels better." Nanny Chen said politely.

"But we have something important to discuss and want to see Yue Niang. How about we wait here until she wakes up?" Among all the ladies, Liu Zhao had the best relationship with Su Wenyue, and was the most deeply involved. She originally thought that Han Yu's promotion was a good thing and their family would benefit as well. However, she didn't expect this incident to happen again. Wang Sun's attitude towards her was very bad that night, probably because of Yue Niang. She didn't know if she would be implicated this time.

At this point Liu Zhaoshi didn't know whether she should regret it or not, but no matter what she had no way out. She was not like other ladies. The most she could do was to protect herself and not get involved in this matter. Even if she didn't intervene, Wang Sunshi would not forgive her, and the Han family would also be offended. So she could only stand firmly on Su Wenyue's side. But she didn't see anyone when she came over, and she became even more anxious.

"Madam Liu, don't worry. But for the matter of the Tongpan's wife, if this is the case, our lady left a message. She has her own way to deal with it. Please don't worry, just do your own thing."

"This, the Madam Tongpan is not an ordinary person. How should Yue Niang deal with it? It is useless to just rely on those words to threaten Madam Wang. If Madam Wang is really afraid, she will not bring the matter to Madam Tongpan. Yue Niang is young after all, and she doesn't know the ways of the officialdom. She will suffer if she acts on impulse."

"In Madam Liu's opinion, our Madam is the kind of person who acts on impulse and doesn't know how to be powerful? Madam Tongpan is powerful, but our Madam is not someone who can be bullied by everyone. Madam Wang is not the only one with a family background! If you really want to talk about it, Lord Tongpan is only a sixth-rank official. In our small place, it is naturally very impressive, but once you enter Chang'an City, a fifth or sixth-rank official position is just the bottom of the list. It's still a little lacking in quality if you want to be so rampant!" After Nanny Chen finished speaking, a sneer and contempt appeared on her face.

There are some things that Su Wenyue, as the master, cannot say, but they, as servants, can say them. Moreover, Nanny Chen and Nanny Li both came with Su Wenyue from her mother's home, and their identities are different.

Liu Zhao and others had come to discuss ideas with Su Wenyue, but they didn't expect that the servants of the Han family would be so tough and even ignored the wife of the magistrate. Did this also represent the attitude of the master? They knew that Wang's maiden family was the Sun family, but they only had a vague idea about Su Wenyue's maiden family. They only knew that the Su family was not an ordinary merchant, but they didn't know the details, after all, they were not at that level of relationship yet.

From what Nanny Chen said, it seems that the Su family is actually involved with Chang'an. For Nanny Chen to say it so confidently, the backer must be of high status, at least higher than the magistrate, so he would not take the magistrate's wife seriously. However, he is in Chang'an, which is a bit far away.

"Isn't Madam Su's family a wealthy family? From what Madam said, is there something else we don't know?" Yao Qin asked tentatively.

"How can we servants spread rumors about the master's family's affairs?" Nanny Chen was a little hesitant when she heard Yao Qinshi's question. She didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Seeing this, Yao Qin stuffed a purse into Nanny Chen's pocket and said, "Nanny, please tell us. We are not others and we have no other intentions. We are just worried about Madam Han. Nanny, please tell us a little bit so that we can feel at ease."

Nanny Chen is much more talkative now that she has a purse

"That's true. You ladies are all good friends with my wife, so there's nothing to hide. However, you ladies still need my wife to keep it a secret before I dare to tell you."

"Of course, don't worry, Nanny Chen, we are keeping our mouths shut and won't spread the news." Liu Zhao and the others assured him.

Nanny Chen seemed to believe it, so she said, "Speaking of our Madam's family..."

After hearing what Nanny Chen said, Liu Zhao and the others realized that Su's family was so powerful. No wonder no one dared to touch the Su family, even though they were just a merchant family. They were actually a branch of the Bei'an Marquis's Mansion. The Tongpan was really nothing in front of the Bei'an Marquis's Mansion. No wonder Nanny Chen spoke so firmly. They were really relieved this time.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Nanny Chen saw the reactions of Liu Zhao and the others. She was sure that what she had just said would soon spread in the circle in Xinye.
