"What's wrong?" Su Wenyue seldom saw such hesitation and doubt on Nanny Li's face, but as long as nothing happened to Han Yu, Su Wenyue could ask about other matters calmly.
"Madam, I don't know who those young men are. They only said that you asked them to come to you and told you that you are safe. When I asked them again, they refused to say anything more. They only said that they would tell you when they saw you. Also, those young men looked a little mysterious to me, so I was afraid that something was wrong. If you want to see them, you should be careful. It's better to have a few guards to accompany you. That way you can feel more at ease."
Nanny Li has served Su Wenyue for such a long time, so she naturally knows the temper of this lady. She doesn't even need to guess to know that Su Wenyue will definitely meet those young masters. After all, those young men came here under the name of adults.
"They said that my husband asked them to come? Do you have any proof?" Su Wenyue was half-believing and half-doubting. When Nanny Li handed over the sachet, Su Wenyue paused and naturally recognized the sachet. It was originally made by her. Han Yu cherished her things the most, especially this sachet, which had some special meaning at the time, so Han Yu always carried it with him, but others did not know the story behind it, so the boys coming with the sachets were probably Han Yu's idea.
"In that case, let them in. I'll meet them in the hall." Su Wenyue said without any hesitation. No matter what the young men's plans were, she had to meet them for the sake of this sachet.
Several young men waited outside for a while before they were invited in by the servants. They did not show any emotion when they entered the Han family's yard. They just thought in their hearts that although the yard of Lord Han's house was a bit simple, it was still clean and unique, which was probably due to the credit of Madam Han. Moreover, from the tone of Lord Han when he mentioned Madam Han, Madam Han must be a very capable and shrewd mistress.
The young men all thought so, so when they saw Su Wenyue, they were stunned and uncomfortable for a moment. This Madam Han didn't look very old. She was already the mother of three children, so how could she still be so young? She was not much older than them, and her temperament was as good as the wives of the aristocratic families in Chang'an, or even more outstanding. How could such a woman be the wife of Lord Han? She looked delicate and needed to be cared for. Could she really arrange for them as Lord Han said?
At this moment, several young men began to doubt. Only the younger Qi Shen had a good impression of Su Wen Yue and felt that Su Wen Yue was like his sister. It was a pity that his sister and her clansmen were killed by that group of thieves. So he looked at Su Wen Yue with a smile that was so bright that it seemed a little silly.
"Are you Mrs. Han?" Zhai Li asked uncertainly. Looking at the delicate and charming woman in front of him, he did not question what Han Yu said, but he felt that he must have found the wrong person. Perhaps this person was Mrs. Han's sister?
"Yes, I am Han Yu's wife. I heard from the servants that you wanted to see me?" Su Wenyue nodded to confirm her identity. She noticed the doubts and distrust of the young men, but did not say much, waiting for the young masters to react on their own.
"Forgive me for being so presumptuous. It's really that Madam Han is too young, and what Lord Han said was a little different, so I was not able to react in time. Please forgive me, Madam Han." Zhai Li said frankly. They came from a martial arts family, and they respected the ways of the martial arts world, unlike the upper class aristocrats who had so many twists and turns. This actually made Su Wenyue like him more.
Lan Xin and Lan Fang had both gone to bed, but they got up when they heard some noise outside. When they came over, they saw several handsome young men. Although they were not dressed well, their temperament and good upbringing still made them very fond of them. They guessed the identities of these young men, but they were all sensible and did not ask any questions, but just looked at them curiously.
Zhai Li and his companions did not want to be watched. Apart from anything else, it was best for them to conceal their current identities and see as few people as possible. Otherwise, if something was exposed, not only would they be in danger, but now there would be another incident that would implicate Lord Han.
Since Su Wenyue had taken the sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang here, she had to be responsible. She also made a promise in front of her aunt that it would not be good for the two sisters to see strange men: "Lanxin, Lanfang, there is nothing to do here. You can go back to your room and rest first. Nanny Chen, please pay attention and wait for the two young ladies to rest. It's cold now, so check whether the doors and windows are closed."
Nanny Chen took the order and left. After hearing what Su Wenyue said, sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang didn't want to keep him. But before leaving, Su Lanfang looked at Zhai Li curiously again. She thought the young man looked familiar, but she was sure she had never seen him before, which made her feel a little strange.
After Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang left, Zhai Li and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were still a little nervous when being stared at by the two girls.
"Okay, now you can tell me what you want to see me for. What message did my husband ask you to bring back? Why didn't he come back himself but asked you to bring a message?" This was what Su Wenyue was anxious to know. Since the young men were straightforward, she also said what she wanted to say.
Su Wenyue asked, but Zhai Li and the others did not answer. Instead, they looked at the people around Su Wenyue and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. This matter involves a lot of consequences. We must talk to you alone."
"Yes, madam, that's why Lord Han didn't let us stay outside and wait for him, but asked us to come to see you. If someone discovers our identities..." Qi was afraid that Su Wenyue would not believe them, and wanted to add a sentence, but was glared at by Zhai Li, so he shut up in dissatisfaction and realized that his words were inappropriate. Although he was a little simple-minded, he was not a reckless person. He also had a good impression of Madam Han, so he was eager to show it.
After hearing this, Su Wenyue's face became more solemn. The identities of these young men must be very special to make Han Yu treat them so seriously. Moreover, in this world, when Su Wenyue saw these young men, she had already associated something with them, but she was just a little uncertain. If that was the case, it was no wonder that Han Yu was so cautious.
"All of you go down. Tell the servants who know about what happened tonight not to let any rumor spread, otherwise don't blame me for being ungrateful." Su Wenyue was a decisive person. Since she had a plan in mind, she gave the order immediately.
However, Nanny Li was worried about Su Wenyue being alone with several young men. What if they had bad intentions? Besides, it would not be good for the lady, a woman, to stay alone in the room with several men, so she wanted to stay and keep them company.
