Su Wenyue was mentally prepared and was not angry at being left aside by Madam Li. However, she, Su Wenyue, was not the kind of person who followed other people's routines. She did not come here today to be teased and trampled upon by Madam Li.
"Just now, when I saw the servants of the Li Mansion being so unruly, I thought it was the servants' fault, at most they were not well disciplined. Now it seems that this is not the case. I have finally seen the way the Li Mansion treats guests. Since Madam Li does not welcome me, I, Su Wenyue, do not have to flatter her. If Madam Li had not sent me an invitation, I would not have planned to come today. Xiaoxi, let's go back!"
Su Wenyue said this and turned away. She had to come today, mainly to let people see her attitude clearly and understand that she, Su Wenyue, was not weak and could not be bullied. Now her goal was achieved. If people did not welcome her, there was naturally no need for her to stay here.
Madam Li's face froze slightly. She didn't expect Su Wenyue to be so tough. She didn't believe that Su didn't know that it was not a good job for Han Yu to be sent to suppress bandits. He might not come back alive. Even if he came back, he would be dismissed from his official position. He would be trampled underfoot by others. The more tough he was now, the more difficult his life would be in the future. I don't know what Su was insisting on!
However, in front of so many people, even if Madam Li knew it in her heart, she couldn't let Su Wenyue go like this. Firstly, her purpose of attacking Su Wenyue to curry favor with Madam Wang had not been achieved. Secondly, if Su Wenyue was allowed to leave like this, wouldn't it be an admission that the Li family had bad rules and neglected guests? This was something Madam Li could not tolerate. If this reputation got out, not only would her husband blame her for not being a good manager of the household, but the old lady would also find fault with her. It is not easy to be the mistress of the household.
"Madam Han, please stay. I was so happy chatting that I didn't notice you coming. Why is you so angry? You really have a bad temper." Madam Li said as she came towards Su Wenyue. Although she wanted to keep Su Wenyue, her words were still not very pleasant to the ears. She said everything that Su Wenyue said was wrong.
"Madam Li, what you said is really thought-provoking. What you meant is that I should stand there and wait. When you find out that I am a guest, you shouldn't complain even if you have to wait for a long time. Is that what it means to be not angry? It's also my fault that I am ignorant and don't know that there is such a truth. No matter which family I visited before, even if the family was not very high, I have never encountered such a thing. I hope that Madam Li will forgive me for being a little angry. After all, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing."
Su Wenyue was not angry after hearing what Li said. She spoke with a smile, which made Madam Li unable to hide the embarrassment on her face. There were also people who came in with Su Wenyue. The previous scene and the current one made her think that Su's ability to bully people was really amazing. Madam Li was usually smart in speaking, but Madam Su could actually bully Madam Li into leaving her speechless.
Although Li Boyan and Han Yusu had a grudge, this was the first time that Madam Li had clashed with Su Wenyue. After all this, it was clear that Su Wenyue was a strong and capable person with a gentle exterior. Not only did she not gain any advantage in her words, but she was also squeezed out by Su again and again. Knowing that she could not gain any advantage in verbal battles for the time being, Madam Li was a woman who knew the times and did not provoke Su Wenyue verbally again.
"Yes, yes, I have neglected Madam Han. Madam Han, don't be angry. Come and sit down. Today is my birthday. Madam Han, if for no other reason, can you please give me some face?" Madam Li knew that she could not win the argument with Su Wenyue, so she could only show weakness and keep her.
After Su Wenyue heard what Madam Li said, she started to think more highly of Madam Li. If she mentioned leaving again at this time, it would be a bit too calculative and also seem very inconsiderate. After all, Madam Li had already admitted her mistake and surrendered.
"Well, since Madam Li has said so, I am not the kind of person who takes things so seriously and likes to hold on to things." Su Wenyue said with a smile. Although she didn't want to stay, she still had to save face. She followed Madam Li to the seat and sat down above Madam Wang without waiting for her to speak.
Madam Li's face froze again, but Su Wenyue had already sat down, and there was nothing wrong with her seat, so she didn't say anything else. She originally wanted to arrange for Su Wenyue to sit below Madam Wang. After all, her purpose today was to curry favor with Madam Wang. Naturally, the seats for other people were arranged according to their status, but it was different for Madam Wang and Su.
As Su Wenyue sat down, Madam Wang's face froze and she looked at Madam Li with a hint of displeasure.
Su Wenyue naturally also saw Mrs. Wang's reaction. She blinked and greeted Mrs. Wang with some malicious intent, which made Mrs. Wang very angry.
Mrs. Wang was sitting below Su Wenyue, feeling very unhappy. Why did such a lowly woman have the right to be above her? However, when she thought of her father and her husband's plan, she felt much better and kept her composure. Anyway, Su Wenyue would not be able to be proud for long. When something happened to Han Yu, Su Wenyue would become a widow. By then, she would be so pitiful with several children. Let's see how she could be proud!
The food prepared by the Li family today was quite good. In such a cold winter, they not only prepared chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also some vegetables and fruits, which was rare. After all, the world has changed. Although Su Wenyue was not very rare, she would eat delicious food if she didn't. She had spent so much brainpower and saliva dealing with the people in the Li Mansion just now, so she should replenish herself and enjoy it without any courtesy. Although she ate quickly, her movements were very gentle.
Mrs. Wang looked down upon Su Wenyue's appearance and could not help but said, "Madam Han, you came here without having breakfast this morning. You look so hungry. No wonder. The military camp has no food and wages this month, so life is a bit difficult."
Su Wenyue rolled her eyes in annoyance, and without avoiding Sun, she directly expressed her contempt: "Madam Wang is too idle, and she still cares whether others have breakfast or not. It's not necessary for Madam Wang to worry about whether my family is having a hard time. Besides, doesn't Madam Wang understand some things? I will never fall to the point of having no food to eat. You are telling lies with your eyes open. Is it fun?"
Mrs. Wang was choked by Su Wenyue and was speechless. The meaning of Su Wenyue's words, whether explicitly or implicitly, was all referring to the incident that happened in the Su Mansion last time. How could she forget such a humiliating thing? She was deliberately poking her in the heart, but she couldn't say anything to refute her. Otherwise, if Su Wenyue told her what happened that time, she would lose all her face.
"Whose daughter-in-law is this? She's so arrogant!"
Su Wenyue saw that Madam Wang had stopped talking and thought that she could have some peace for a while. Unexpectedly, not long after she finished speaking, someone else interrupted her. She looked at the source of the voice.
