"Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?" Although the counterfeit incident was in the past, the person behind the scenes had not been found out. In addition, Su Wenyue was followed when she went out a few days ago. Han Yu stepped up his investigation into the matter and finally got some clues.

"Master's guess is correct. Those people are indeed related to Sun Tongpan. Their specific identities have not been verified yet, but we can be sure that they are forces from Chang'an."

"Very good, keep keeping an eye on the Sun Mansion, keep a close eye on it, and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Han Yu narrowed his eyes and said. There is one thing he can be sure of, the mysterious man behind the mountain bandits and Wang Mang can never be in the same group. It seems that the Sun family is now playing both sides, no wonder they have been acting more and more arrogantly recently.

But the Sun family acted this way. Neither Wang Mang nor the man in black were easy to deal with. Aren't they afraid of a disaster one day? Or are they sure that no one will find out? After all, the mysterious man was mysterious enough. Han Yu was very careful to discover the existence of these people. Even so, it took him so long to find some clues.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, each family reunited with their own family and no longer went out. The Han family was the same. Su Wenyue gave the new clothes she had prepared to everyone. Not only Old Man Han and Yang, but also the second and third wives had two sets of new clothes prepared. Although she hated Han Lin and Wang, for the sake of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she couldn't leave out the third wife alone. She also made a silver necklace and a pair of silver bracelets for each of the younger ones.

Everyone followed the village custom to take a bath and put on new clothes, with happy smiles on their faces. Although the world is in a bad and chaotic situation nowadays, the Han family is getting more and more prosperous. They have grown up together, and this is the first time they can put on new clothes during the New Year. Especially the children, they put on new clothes, silver necklaces and silver bracelets, and looked plump and festive, like children from wealthy families. It was also after the fourth son's wife got married that the family's life became better, and they were willing to provide food for the children, so they grew up so well.

The children all looked well, except for the third child, Si Ya. Even though she wore new clothes and a new collar, she was still pitiful because she was too thin and not well taken care of. She felt so light in the arms that she looked like she might suffocate at any time. She was so small that she was at two extremes compared to the three twins, a boy and a girl, from Su Wenyue's family.

Han Lin was originally quite happy, but when he saw the difference between the two groups of children, his happiness faded a little. Who would want their own child to be inferior to others, especially if they had a competitive mentality in their hearts? Therefore, when he saw the gap between Si Ya and the other children, he blamed Wang, the ignorant woman, for not wanting to raise a daughter well.

Han Lin thought this way, and naturally his attitude towards Wang Shi was not much better. Wang Shi had a twisted mind to begin with, and she blamed everything on Su Wenyue even more. The way she looked at Su Wenyue and the three children was a little creepy.

Su Wenyue noticed it sensitively and stood in front of the child without saying a word. Xingger seemed to sense Wang's ill intentions as well, and the little guy frowned, which made Su Wenyue very happy. Her mood, which had been bad because of Hanlin and Wang, improved instead. With so many people around, Wang wouldn't be able to do anything. She and Han Yu were usually on high alert, and they would have to go back a few days after the New Year.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Wenyue distributed the reward money. The whole family sat in the hall to keep watch. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Wang was warned by Han Lin, so she sat there obediently without causing any trouble. Only Si Ya was pitiful. Wang, as a mother, was so cruel that she let Si Ya lie in the small rocking bed and ignored her. Si Ya didn't cry or make a fuss, but hummed a few times when she was hungry. Wang didn't have milk, so she just made some porridge and fed Si Ya a few mouthfuls.

Su Wenyue now has her own child, and her heart has become kinder. She can't bear to see the sadness in her eyes. Si Ya is a good child, but also a pitiful one. Although she didn't have a good life in her previous life, Wang Shi probably lived a good life at that time and didn't have so many resentments. She was better to Si Ya, at least not as harshly as she is now. Looking at Si Ya's condition, it is still unclear whether she can be raised to life.

Old Man Han and Lady Yang frowned when they saw Si Ya. They didn't say anything unpleasant during the New Year, but just sighed. Lady Yang was holding Yu Jie'er in her arms. She liked this blessed little granddaughter very much. She always felt that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to hers, and she got along well with her. Although she was a girl, she treated her as important as her grandson.

"Si Ya is still so young, I'm afraid it's not enough for her to just eat some porridge?" Su Wenyue didn't want to pay attention to the people from the third room. It would have been fine if she didn't see them on weekdays, but now that she saw them, she couldn't help but ask. There was also her reason for Si Ya's current behavior.

When Wang heard Su Wenyue's words, she became even more resentful. However, Han Lin wanted to please the fourth wife. Besides, this was his own daughter, so he quickly said, "What my sister-in-law said is not true. The fourth girl is like a kitten. I am always worried that she will not grow up. But the child's mother has no milk and cannot feed her. There is no other way."

Su Wenyue looked at the three wet nurses beside her children. She hired three wet nurses in the beginning because she was afraid that the children would be wronged. It would be no problem to spare one of them now. Two wet nurses would be enough to nurse three children. It was New Year's Eve and there was no other way.

"How about this, let the nurse feed Si Ya for the next few days, and then I'll have someone find a dairy cow or goat and bring it back to the village. Cow's milk and goat's milk are both good for health, and Si Ya will grow better."

"That's great. My sister-in-law is kindhearted. Si Ya has received a great favor from you this time. I will definitely let her honor you in the future."

Su Wenyue did this just for the sake of the child. She still had a lukewarm attitude towards Han Lin and would not respond to his words: "I am Si Ya's aunt, this is what I should do. This is not for her filial piety. If she can grow up well, it will be her filial piety to me."

Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang felt very comforted. After all, the fourth daughter-in-law was a kind-hearted person. Although they had such thoughts before because they felt sorry for the fourth girl, they couldn't say it because of what the third daughter-in-law had done. Especially Mrs. Yang was unwilling to sacrifice her grandson and granddaughter for a girl who she didn't know whether she could support.

Han Yu watched from the side. He was an indifferent person. Although Si Ya was pitiful, her biological parents were still alive, so it was not his turn to take care of her. However, since his wife was kind-hearted and willing to help, he would not stop her. As long as she was happy, it was fine. However, he heard that goat's milk and cow's milk were nourishing, which made him feel moved. He had always been worried about his wife's health, and always asked the kitchen to stew medicinal food for her. She was not happy after eating too much. Perhaps he could get a dairy cow or sheep. He knew that those things were indeed nourishing, but he didn't know whether his wife would be happy to drink them.
