Not to mention Su Wenyue was happy to see Xiaoxi, but the other people in the Han family were also happy. The only disharmonious person, Wang, had been staying in her room low-key all this time and had tried not to come out unless necessary. Therefore, the atmosphere was unusually harmonious, except for the somewhat disdainful looks from Yang Juxiang and her daughter. In their eyes, Xiaoxi was just a servant.

"Xiaoxi, you're back, that's great!" Liu looked at Xiaoxi with joy, which made Xiaoxi a little confused. Even though the young lady usually gave Liu some small favors, Liu's attitude towards her had never been very good, just a little better than Wang's. Suddenly she became so enthusiastic, which made her a little unacceptable.

Su Wenyue took in Xiaoxi's surprised expression and naturally knew why Liu was like that. She felt a little amused. Liu was sometimes so straightforward and cute, but of course in the eyes of some people she was hateful.

"Xiao Xi, your room is occupied by your aunt and cousin now, and there are no other rooms in the house. I will go to the village neighbors to arrange a room for you, and you can live there for the time being." Su Wenyue did not expect Xiao Xi to come back at this time, so she could only arrange a place for Xiao Xi temporarily. She did not even think of letting Xiao Xi and Yang Juxiang, mother and daughter, squeeze into the same room.

Su Wenyue knew Xiaoxi's temper. Although she seemed aggressive sometimes, that was only because she was protecting her. As long as Yang Juxiang and her daughter didn't do anything to offend her, she would endure it and keep silent even if she was bullied by them. After all, Xiaoxi was just an outsider in the Han family, and Su Wenyue didn't want to cause trouble for her. She was such a loyal and pitiful girl.

Xiaoxi had already noticed that there were a mother and daughter in the house, and they both looked like bad people, so she was not surprised at all to hear her young lady say that. After responding, she moved the things in the carriage to Su Wenyue's room.

"The fourth son's wife, she's just a servant, why are you so worried? You even have to go through the trouble of arranging a room for her in the neighbor's house. Just let her sleep on the floor in our room. Don't spoil the servant!" Yang Juxiang had never dealt with Xiaoxi, but she was a little displeased when she saw her behavior. She was dressed so brightly, like a young lady from some family. What's more, Xiaoxi was Su Wenyue's maid, which made her even more displeased.

Su Wenyue's face turned a little ugly when she heard what Yang Juxiang said. She could easily let Yang Juxiang and her daughter target her and ignore their sarcasm and ridicule, but she would not allow them to humiliate Xiaoxi. Her voice became colder and harder than ever before.

"Aunt, you are wrong. Xiaoxi is not a servant of our family. She has redeemed herself. She is staying in the Han family now because of the friendship between us for so many years. Moreover, her food, clothing and other expenses in the Han family are all paid by me. She has not used a single cent of the Han family. My mother-in-law has no objection. Are you provoking me now?"

Seeing that Su Wenyue was confronting her for a maid and her attitude was unprecedentedly tough, Yang Juxiang was angry, but the cold look made her feel a little uneasy, especially the cold look Han Yu gave her, which made her feel cold all over. However, relying on Yang's presence, she felt a little braver.

"Fourth son's wife, what are you talking about? I am your elder and I am saying these few words to you for your own good. You really don't know what is good for you."

"Oh? Really? Auntie, you're doing this for my own good! I really couldn't tell. I thought you were picking on me on purpose, so you made things difficult for Xiaoxi." Su Wenyue sounded surprised, but her expression didn't suggest so. There was even a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"How could that be? I'm just worried that you, my niece-in-law, are too young and ignorant, and might be bullied. I really mean well." Yang Juxiang said embarrassedly. This was not what she wanted to say, but she noticed the increasingly cold gaze of Han Yu who was standing behind Su Wenyue. Han Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was clearly some threat in his eyes, so she immediately changed her words.

In the Han family, what Yang Juxiang feared most was this fourth nephew. Although Han Yu had not actually done anything to her, she was inexplicably afraid. Sometimes just an expression or a look would make her feel creepy. So even if it was to embarrass Su Wenyue, Yang Juxiang and her daughter would try their best to avoid Han Yu. One was because she felt fearful, and the other was because she did not want to leave a bad impression in front of Han Yu.

"In that case, I thank you, auntie. But you don't have to worry about such things in the future. Xiaoxi grew up with me, and I know her character very well. She has also lived in the Han family for a while, and I believe everyone knows her character as well."

"Yes, Juxiang, don't get me wrong. Xiaoxi is really a good girl. She is not only smart, but also hardworking and efficient. She knows the rules and is literate. Girls from wealthy families are different. Even if she is just a maid, she is not comparable to girls from farm families like us."

Yang really liked Xiaoxi, and what she said was what she really thought. In her opinion, all the girls in the village were not as good as Xiaoxi. Even among the daughters-in-law of the Han family, the fourth daughter-in-law was a big deal. Which of the other three daughters-in-law was as capable as Xiaoxi? If the daughters-in-law had not all married, she would have wanted Xiaoxi to be her own daughter-in-law.

Yang Juxiang and her daughter originally wanted to embarrass Xiaoxi and make Su Wenyue feel uncomfortable, but now seeing that the Han family was protecting Xiaoxi, they knew that this trick would not work. When no one was paying attention, they rolled their eyes at Xiaoxi and went into the house.

When Liu saw Yang Juxiang and her daughter leaving, she gave them a look of contempt and turned her attention back to the carriage.

"Xiao Xike comes back just in time. We can take a carriage to the county town tomorrow. Fourth son's wife, do you mind lending us the carriage tomorrow?" Although Liu was happy, she still remembered that Old Man Han and Yang had said that these were things from Su Wenyue's parents' home and their family could not use them.

If Yang had heard Liu say this at other times, she would have scolded her long ago, but this time she unexpectedly remained silent, obviously agreeing with Liu's proposal.

Yang was depressed and resentful after being looked down upon by the old lady of the Han family and the people of the first house for so many years, but she had to endure it for various reasons. She had endured it long ago. And who doesn't want to show off? Now she finally has a daughter-in-law with such a good family background. She is not only beautiful but also filial. No matter what, she can definitely suppress the first house. She was also there when Liu said those words in the kitchen before. Although she felt that Liu's words were a bit blunt, she understood her thoughts. It would be great if the fourth daughter-in-law could suppress those people of the first house. After so many years of being bullied, their second house could finally turn things around.
