The Feng family is a family of martial arts. Not to mention that Feng Ruolin is good at martial arts, even the maid beside her has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Her kung fu is only better than Xiaoxi's, so protecting Su Wenyue is no problem.

"I won't say any polite words to my brother and sister-in-law. I'll leave everything at home to you. Those people are evil-minded and may harm the children. You need to be on guard." Su Wenyue was afraid that Feng Ruolin didn't know the situation, so she gave her another reminder.

"Got it. You can go without worry. I, your sister-in-law, can naturally handle it." Feng Ruolin responded knowingly without any fear. Who is she, Feng Ruolin?

Su Wenyue felt relieved when her elder brother and sister-in-law came over, and was escorted by Su Hengyi to the Li family. However, since her elder brother and sister-in-law came over, the Su family must have known about Han Yu's going to suppress the bandits. After Su Wenyue asked, she found out that Han Yu had sent someone to the Su family to pass on a message before leaving, asking the Su family to take good care of them during this period. Han Yu herself did not want to rely on the Su family, but was worried about her safety.

Soon they arrived at the gate of Li's Mansion. Only female relatives were invited today, so it was not convenient for Su Hengyi to go in, so he waited nearby. Su Wenyue took Xiaoxi and Feng Ruolin's maid Aqing in.

Xiaoxi handed the invitation to the servant of the Li family. The servant's face, which was originally quite attentive, became lukewarm after reading the invitation. He did not stop Su Wenyue from going in, but he did not arrange for a servant to lead the way either. He completely ignored Su Wenyue's existence.

Su Wenyue had long expected that the situation after coming to the Li family would not be very good, but she always had to consider the matter of face. She did not expect the Li family to be so rude. Su Wenyue had no expression on her face, but Xiaoxi was very angry. With Su Wenyue's permission, Xiaoxi started to criticize them without any hesitation.

"Madam, I have to say that the servants in the Li Mansion are too unruly. They have no manners at all and they are so neglectful to guests. I don't know if the wife of the head of the Li family is too incompetent, or if these servants are hypocritical." Xiaoxi deliberately raised her voice a little when she said this. People around her also looked at her, but Xiaoxi didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Although it's not easy to deal with other people's affairs, it's indeed a bit outrageous. I'll ask Madam Li later. If the servants have to be sold, they will have to be sold. Now it's just a joke. It doesn't matter if you neglect me, but if you neglect others, people won't say it's the servants' fault, they will only say that the Li family has bad family education." Su Wenyue said this with a look of concern for the Li family.

Those who knew the inside story knew that the Li family did this on purpose, and those who didn't know had the same idea. Servants were supposed to be controlled by their masters, and if the servants did not do well, it simply meant that the masters were incompetent.

"Madam Han is right. The servants in the Li Mansion are so careless. Madam Li should be reminded not to ruin their reputation because of a few lazy servants." Su Wenyue looked over when she heard this and saw a rather unfamiliar face. She nodded and smiled.

The servants of the Li family did so under the orders of their master. Now that Su Wenyue said this, if a quarrel really broke out in front of everyone, the master would not admit that it was his fault, but would only put the blame on the servants. Therefore, he immediately arranged for someone to lead Su Wenyue.

"Please forgive me, Madam Han. Today is your birthday and there are many people around, so we are short of staff in the mansion right now. I have neglected you. Please forgive me." When Su Wenyue's words just now caused discussion, a servant had already informed the housekeeper. The housekeeper was also smart and immediately came over to apologize to Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue nodded: "Since you are too busy, it is understandable. After all, life is getting harder and harder in this world. The Li family is not a well-off family, so it is normal for such a situation to happen. Just lead the way. I think everyone will understand your situation. It is not easy for anyone these days."

Su Wenyue spoke sympathetically, and the housekeeper felt aggrieved after hearing that, but he couldn't talk back to the guest, or else he would say something unpleasant. What did they mean by not being from a well-known family? What did they mean by life is not easy for anyone these days? These were not indirect sarcasm that the Li family was just a poor little family that couldn't stand up to the odds.

Most of the people who can come and go here are smart people. When they heard Su Wenyue's words, how could they not understand the meaning behind them? Thinking that Madam Han looked gentle but was not someone who was easy to bully, these words must have hurt the people in the Li Mansion. It seemed that they should not provoke Madam Han easily in the future, otherwise they would be ridiculed and bullied by her.

Someone had already reported the situation outside to Madam Li. Madam Li looked unhappy after hearing it. She didn't expect Su to be so difficult to deal with. Her original intention was to vent Madam Wang's anger and severely dampen Su's arrogance. Otherwise, she would not have temporarily added Su to the guest list. She just wanted to let Madam Wang see her sincerity, and take the opportunity to get close to the Tongpan Mansion through Madam Wang and pave the way for her husband.

As the saying goes, the more connections you have, the easier your life will be. Although their Li family has some relatives with Captain Li, it is not so reliable. Otherwise, her husband would not still be a seventh-rank official, on par with young men like Han Yu who have just emerged. If the other person was from a powerful family, it would be fine and they could not afford to offend him. But he was just a peasant, and Su was just the daughter of a merchant. Not to mention that her husband was unhappy, even she herself was not very happy.

As for the relationship between the Su family and the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Sun and her daughter kept this secret tightly. After all, it was their shame and no one wanted to mention it. Moreover, if everyone knew about the relationship between the Su family and the Marquis' Mansion, they would be afraid to take action, which was not what they wanted to see. What consequences would these people have in order to deal with Han Yu and Su Wenyue, or whether the Su family would retaliate by using the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, had nothing to do with them.

Su Wenyue followed the servants of the Li Mansion to the inner courtyard and saw many ladies sitting there. When they saw Su Wenyue coming, some of them thought that Su Wenyue was a high-ranking lady and would greet her warmly. Some who were on good terms with Madam Li just sat there and had no intention of paying any attention to Su Wenyue. They all knew that Han Yu had been sent to suppress bandits, and whether he came back or not, he would have a bad ending. Why bother to make friends with him? Besides, Madam Li was obviously targeting Madam Han today. They were all on good terms with Madam Li, and their stance was supposed to be on Madam Li's side. Naturally, they could not show any intention of being on good terms with Madam Han.

Mrs. Li had already noticed Su Wenyue coming over, but she pretended not to know and chatted animatedly with the ladies around her, intending to leave Su Wenyue alone and let her taste the feeling of being ignored.

As the object of flattery, Mrs. Wang was naturally invited over by Mrs. Li very early. Seeing Su Wenyue's embarrassing situation, she felt so happy that a sarcastic and contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
