Several maids helped an old lady with half white hair to come over. Next to the old lady was another old lady. It was really a combination of taking advantage of their seniority. I heard that there was another old lady in the Li Mansion, who was Li Boyan's biological mother. She must be the one supported by the maids. She looked quite impressive.
"Mom, you're here!" When Mrs. Li saw the old lady coming, she hurried over to greet her and personally helped the old lady over, which also directly confirmed the old lady's identity.
"Brother Nian, my daughter-in-law, today is your birthday and I didn't want to tell you, but look at the people you invited. It's so rude. What they said was so vulgar." The old lady's mouth was full of criticism and dissatisfaction towards Su Wenyue, which shows how big her prejudice against Su Wenyue is.
"Mom, this is the wife of Deputy Captain Han." Madam Li did not answer the old lady directly, but pointed out Su Wenyue's identity. She knew in her heart that the old lady also knew it, otherwise she would not appear here. There must be some intention. Maybe her husband said something to the old lady, or the old lady knew something from others. She, as a daughter-in-law, did not have such a big face.
"Deputy Captain Han, is that a peasant from the countryside who got his current position by currying favor with his superiors?" The old lady's words were much more poisonous than Mrs. Li's. But since she was old and said these things, no one could blame her, otherwise there would be no such thing as taking advantage of one's seniority.
"What are you talking about, old lady? Our son-in-law..." Xiaoxi couldn't help but wanted to argue after hearing this, but was stopped by Su Wenyue.
"Xiao Xi, shut up. How can you question the old lady? Just listen to what she has to say. After all, it's normal for the old lady to speak harshly at her age. Why should we young people bother with her?" Su Wenyue's expression did not change at all after hearing what Old Lady Li said. She still had a smile on her face. Her few words were light, but they were enough to make Old Lady Li angry to death.
Everyone heard Su Wenyue's words, and it was not obvious that she meant to say that Old Madam Li was taking advantage of her age. Madam Li had been very uncomfortable because of the verbal confrontation with Su Wenyue before. After all, she was choked by Su Wenyue twice. After hearing these words, she felt much better and didn't dislike Su Wenyue so much. If it weren't for the feud between Lord Han and her husband, she would have wanted to ask Su for advice and learn a few tricks to deal with the old lady. God knows how hateful this old lady is on weekdays. She only knows how to torment her, the daughter-in-law, and to sow discord between her and her husband.
"Hmph, Madam Han, could it be that what I said was wrong? Lord Han was born a peasant. No matter how high he climbs, he cannot hide this fact. And there is a saying that the higher you climb, the harder you fall. It is just right to give it to Lord Han."
The old lady was not invited out by her son, after all, Li Boyan didn't need to deal with a woman or child. It was just that Old Lady Li knew that Han Yu often opposed her son in the military camp, and knew that Han Yu's wife was coming, so she came out specifically to vent her son's anger and embarrass Su Wenyue.
"A hero does not care about his origin. Even if he was born in the mud, so what? My husband has achieved his current position through his own efforts. He is much better than those villains who have no ability and can only do tricks behind the scenes. Origin is not important, character is the most important. However, the old lady may not understand these things. After all, different people have different opinions." Su Wenyue said this, and she almost said that the old lady was short-sighted and narrow-minded.
"Madam Han, don't go too far. Even if you want to act wild, you should know where you are. This is the Li Mansion!" Old Mrs. Li couldn't argue with Su Wenyue. She was so angry that her face turned red. She had to use force. Unfortunately, Su Wenyue didn't buy it.
"So what! I am a guest invited by Madam Li. Do you think Madam Li wants to do something to me in broad daylight? I believe Madam Li would not do such a stupid thing as breaking the law knowingly." Su Wenyue was fearless. Xiaoxi and Aqing moved around and protected Su Wenyue inside without making a sound.
"Of course, huh!" Old Mrs. Li was embarrassed by Su Wenyue and did not dare to do anything to Su Wenyue. She snorted coldly.
"If you ask me, Madam Han is too ignorant of the rules. We don't know whether Lord Han can come back after going out to suppress the bandits. I advise you not to be so rampant, otherwise you will not end up well." The old lady next to Old Lady Li is Old Lady Li's younger sister. Seeing her elder sister being so angry at a young wife who hasn't even grown all her hair yet, she naturally had to vent her anger for her elder sister.
"Hey, who are you, old lady? You are so shameless that you even curse the officials and humiliate their families. This is also a crime. Our master is fighting bandits for the court and protecting the safety of the people. You must have a conscience to say such things."
There were some things that Su Wenyue was not convenient to say. For someone like Old Lady Li's sister, who was not of high status and was just a commoner, she was handed over to Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi was a sharp-tongued person and had developed her eloquence a long time ago. Besides, she was just a maid, so there was no need for her to be so polite when speaking. Her words were even more unpleasant, and they flew towards the old lady like knives.
"Don't scare me. How can a few words be considered illegal?" The old lady was not afraid of anything else, but she became a little uneasy when she heard the little maid's confident words about her crime.
Su Wenyue sneered, "All the ladies present here are knowledgeable. How can my maid slander you in front of so many people? I won't bother with you this time. I also hope that you, the old lady, will be careful with your words and actions, otherwise you won't be able to bear the punishment at such an old age."
“You, you…”
"Okay, you are wrong. Lord Han is working for the court and is loyal to it. Since Madam Han doesn't want to bother with you, you should stop talking." Old Mrs. Li knew that her younger sister was in the wrong this time. It would be troublesome if Su Wenyue really wanted to bother with her. She could only endure it temporarily. Even though she knew why Han Yu went to suppress the bandits this time, she could only know it in her heart. How could such private dealings be said openly? This was also the reason why she refused to mention it just now. Her younger sister was impulsive and said it out without holding back.
Su Wenyue curled her lips and said, "Old Madam Li is more reasonable."
"Tsk tsk, Madam Han is really eloquent. I admire her! I admire her!" Everyone's attention was on Madam Li and Su Wenyue. At some point a man walked in and clapped his hands in applause.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Boyan originally planned to come in for a walk, but when he heard Su Wenyue's "debate with the children", he hid in the dark and came out when he had almost finished listening, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant.
