377. Chapter 377 Killing Two Birds with One Stone



The guards also surrounded the couple, fearing that they would take out some hidden weapon or something. As a result, the couple took out just a hard object like an iron plate, which seemed to have some patterns engraved on it.

"This is our token of trust. You will know after you see it." In order to gain Su Wenyue's trust, the couple hesitated but still handed the sign to the housekeeper.

When the housekeeper saw the sign, his eyes shrank. Others did not recognize the sign, but he did. The housekeeper managed the outer house for the Han family and was often involved in some secret matters, although he did not fully understand Han Yu's secret affairs. To be precise, the housekeeper was one of them, but his authority was relatively low and he knew limited things.

Seeing the housekeeper like this, Su Wenyue knew there must be a reason. Su Wenyue did not recognize this brand. It was not that Han Yu wanted to hide it, but he did not specifically tell Su Wenyue. Han Yu did not want Su Wenyue to be exposed to so many dark things.

"The master sent you here. Why are you waiting here?" Although the butler knew the identities of the visitors, he did not understand their purpose, but he relaxed his vigilance.

The couple looked at the housekeeper and the people around them, but did not explain the reason: "Please forgive me, this is a confidential matter, and only the lady can know about this."

Seeing this, the butler knew that it was no longer something he could decide, so he told Su Wenyue about the matter and asked her to decide: "Madam, what do you think about this?"

Su Wenyue pondered for a moment, asked Qiluo and Nanny Li to stay and look after the three little ones, and she went into the house with the housekeeper.

"Were you sent by Han Yu?" Although Su Wenyue learned the identities of the two from the housekeeper, she did not completely believe it. After all, in such a special period, who knows what will happen, and it is always right to be cautious.

As soon as the 'couple' entered the room, they knelt down in front of Su Wenyue and the butler. They were of similar rank, but Su Wenyue was their master.

"Your humble servants Xia Jiang and Xia Hai greet the Madam."

"Get up, why are you waiting for me here? Why don't you tell me through other means, but wait here, what happened?" Su Wenyue has had this question since she met Han Yu, but it's a pity that she couldn't ask it in front of Han Yu, and other people around her didn't know what was going on. Now finally someone came who knew the inside story.

"My Lord is going to be sent to quell the rebellion. He is worried about your safety and wants to send you out, but there are traitors around him, so he has to resort to this measure for your safety."

"A thief within?" Su Wenyue's heart tightened. She naturally knew how harmful a thief could be, especially in a situation like Han Yu. If she was not careful and the thief discovered something, the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Wenyue thought so and looked at the couple with scrutiny. Since there was a thief, the credibility of the token was reduced. The reason why Han Yu made such an arrangement must be that he was not sure who the thief was, and the thief's position was not low, enough to affect Han Yu's actions and decisions. Who knows if this couple was arranged by the thief.

"Yes, the master was reluctant to let his wife suffer injustice, but the influence of this traitor was too great. If it is not found out in time, it will not only affect the master's cause, but also the safety of his wife and the young master. The master has resorted to this desperate measure, not only to find the traitor, but also to put on a show for those people to watch, killing two birds with one stone."

Su Wenyue thought what the man said was quite plausible, but no matter how plausible it was, Su Wenyue would not just believe it: "Besides the token, do you have any other evidence to prove that you were sent by Han Yu?"

The couple looked at each other and admired their master in their hearts. The master was really smart and had guessed the lady's reaction long ago. He would not believe them so easily. There were no outsiders around at this moment, so he took out a beauty bag and handed it to Su Wenyue.

"This is what the master gave to me. He said if Madam doesn't believe it, I should take out this brocade bag and Madam will know it after seeing it." The woman said very respectfully.

Su Wenyue took the brocade bag and took a few glances at it. She was sure that it was her handicraft. How could she not recognize it? However, Han Yu really liked to keep the things she embroidered as a keepsake. Perhaps it was because Han Yu always carried this brocade bag with him and no one else could get it, so he kept it as a keepsake.

Since the couple were sent by Han Yu, Su Wenyue's expression softened a lot. She asked about their purpose and after confirming that they were alright, she called the wet nurse and Nanny Li into the house.

Everyone outside worked together and finally repaired the broken carriage and made way for it, allowing Su Wenyue and her group to leave first. The carriage stayed at the farmer's house for a while and then left in a different direction.

"Madam, are you okay? After such a long bumpy ride and traveling all night, you must be exhausted. I've found a place for you to rest for a night and we'll continue our journey tomorrow." The curtain of the shabby carriage was opened, and the masters in the carriage were helped down. They were the peasant couple.

A pair of slender hands stretched out from the carriage, and Su Wenyue got off the carriage. There was obvious fatigue on her face, and her eyes were dark blue. It was obvious that she did not get enough rest.

"It's nothing. I'm not a delicate person. I'm just worried that the child can't bear it. But I know you have no choice. You're afraid that someone will find out about your whereabouts and catch up with you, so you have to travel overnight." Although Su Wenyue did feel a little tired, she was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. Although they had been on the road all the time, the couple had already taken good care of her.

After walking for most of the next day, Su Wenyue finally brought her children to their new home. In the days to come, until Han Yu came back, she and her three children would live here.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Su Wenyue personally brought people to clean up the house. This trip was arranged by Han Yu in a hurry. In addition, they had to guard against thieves, so many things were not so thorough. If they brought too many people, they would be discovered. So Su Wenyue only brought Nanny Li and Qiluo, as well as a wet nurse, and no maids to serve her. Some things she had to do herself. It felt like she was back to the time when she married Han Yu.

Speaking of this, Su Wenyue asked about things in her hometown again. When she learned that Han Yu had made arrangements, she was completely relieved. She took her children and hid in this almost isolated place, counting the days and waiting for Han Yu to come back.

I didn't expect that such a short separation would last so long. Han Yu had been gone for a whole year. He only wrote a few letters to Su Wenyue to let her know that he was safe and told her not to worry.

"Han Yu!" Su Wenyue was awakened by a nightmare. She felt uneasy and panicked.
