"Second brother, don't be angry. Those two women are no match for your sister. Besides, they are protected by my husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law. They didn't get any favors at all. Instead, they were scolded by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They won't dare to provoke me easily in the short term. The reason why I told this matter is that I hope mother will sort out the servants in the house and get rid of the thief. Since that person can get my handkerchief, he must be able to walk around in the inner courtyard. Moreover, mother has always been very strict in the management of the inner courtyard, and that person was able to take advantage of the loophole. Not only is he evil-minded, but he is also very cunning. Such a person will always be a disaster if he stays in the house."
Su Wenyue had stayed in that mansion for so long that she naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. Some disasters might not be caused by outsiders, especially in such troubled times. If the treacherous servants colluded with outsiders to attack the master's family, the consequences would be disastrous.
"It's not just that thief. There are other servants who betrayed their master who should be eliminated as well. Maybe someone else helped the thief to succeed."
"Don't worry, my daughter. I'm here to take care of all the family matters. You don't have to worry. I've been busy with your marriage recently and haven't had time to take care of so many things. Now that I have time, I should clean up the mess and catch those traitors and those who are sneaky and cunning. Especially the thief who dared to lay hands on my daughter. If I find her, I will kill her!"
There was a hint of cruelty in An's words. If it weren't for her daughter's cleverness and resourcefulness, she would have suffered this time. Although the Han family was only a small family and did not dare to offend the Su family, it was not a good thing for a new daughter-in-law to make a mistake in front of her parents-in-law as soon as she entered the house and leave a bad impression. It was also not conducive to the improvement of the relationship between them. What a vicious mind. Her daughter did not offend anyone, but those people wanted to frame her daughter. She could never tolerate such a thing.
Wang was her daughter's third sister-in-law. For the sake of the Han family's face, she couldn't do anything for the time being. However, she could take action against the person who colluded with Wang and Wang's family members.
Su Wenyue nodded, without any kindness in her heart to plead for anyone. After going through so many things, her heart had become much harder. Since those people dared to do such a thing, they should bear the consequences.
"But mother, where do you plan to start investigating? Since the thief is so cunning, he must be hiding very well. It may not be so easy to find that person." Although Su Hengxuan knew all the ins and outs of the inner house, he never cared about its affairs. According to Mrs. An, a man should do big things. It is enough to know the affairs of the inner house clearly. If he is confined to it, his vision will be too narrow and he will not be able to accomplish anything big. This time, it was for his sister's affairs, and Su Hengxuan rarely intervened.
Su Wenyue already had an idea about this: "Since it started with Wang, and the handkerchief was in her hands, that person must have some relationship with Wang, or someone from Wang's family. You can check the servants in the family who have a relationship with Wangjia Village, maybe you can find out something. In addition, the staff in the family should also be checked. What do they do every day, when do they go out, and who do they practice with? These can be interrogated clearly. If they can't answer, there is probably something wrong. Even if it has nothing to do with the handkerchief, they are not trustworthy."
An nodded approvingly: "What Yue Niang said is right. With this two-pronged approach, we will definitely be able to find the person."
"Oh, the little girl is not bad. She has improved a lot in just a few days of marriage. She can actually understand these things and give us advice. Her methods are also much more powerful." After finishing the serious things, Su Hengxuan started to be frivolous again. However, he was really surprised at the change of his sister. How could a person suddenly change so much? However, Su Hengxuan felt that although the girl in front of him had changed a lot, she was still his sister, so he didn't delve into the reasons.
"That's right. Mom is so capable. She keeps the backyard in perfect order. I've watched her handle things since I was a child, and I've learned a thing or two from her. But with mom by my side at home, I try to hide my shortcomings, so I appear stupid. Anyway, it's not my turn to worry about things. After I get married, I'll have to do it myself. Otherwise, I'll be easily bullied. So don't underestimate me!" Su Wenyue said proudly, and was also explaining the reason for her change to her mother and brother in disguise.
"Tsk tsk, you get angry when I tell you you're fat."
The brother and sister were laughing and joking, and soon a maid came to inform them that the meal was ready, and they went to the front hall to eat together. Han Yu saw how close his wife and uncle were, and felt a little sour in his heart. He walked forward calmly, took his wife back, and held her little hand and refused to let go.
Su Wenyue didn't know what Han Yu was thinking, but this man was usually very serious in front of outsiders, so why did he insist on holding her hand at this time, and she couldn't get away no matter how hard she tried. She didn't know what medicine he had taken was wrong, as he made her feel so embarrassed in front of his parents, especially since his second brother liked to laugh at her. She didn't know how he would tease her later.
Su Hengxuan wanted to say that he was not in the mood to joke at this moment. His sister, whom he had spoiled since childhood, was taken away by a wolf, and they were acting so affectionate in front of him. Isn't this just hurting his heart? Han Yu was really annoying.
Sensing his uncle's dissatisfaction, Han Yu held my wife's hand even tighter, and curled the corners of his mouth, which looked somewhat provocative.
An saw the couple's little tricks, and thinking about what her daughter had said to her and Han Yu's protection of her daughter, she began to like Han Yu and her attitude towards him finally improved.
"Son-in-law, please sit down and have your meal. Knowing you were coming back today, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious dishes, which are seldom eaten on weekdays. You and your father-in-law and uncle should have a few drinks." An said very kindly. Although the Su family was very particular about other aspects, when there were no outsiders, there were not so many rules at the dinner table. Isn't it nice for the family to sit together and eat harmoniously?
"Yes, mother-in-law, I'll listen to you." Han Yu felt the change in An's attitude towards him, raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wenyue. This must be the credit of his wife, otherwise why would his mother-in-law be so enthusiastic? Although she was quite polite to him before, she was obviously dissatisfied and alienated. Now that he has chatted with his wife for a while, his attitude has changed. It must be that his wife spoke well of him in front of his mother-in-law. Sure enough, his wife loves him and knows to protect her man. Not bad! Not bad! Han Yu felt very relieved.
