Chapter 309: Deliberately teasing



"Madam, my uncle is here and is heading to the backyard."

When Su Wenyue heard that her elder brother was coming, she was delighted. It was indeed a happy event. She had asked her elder brother to investigate the matter. She didn't know how the elder brother was doing. Even Han Yu didn't know about it yet. Su Wenyue didn't know why. She knew that the person was the Emperor Wu's concubine, but she didn't want her to have anything to do with Han Yu. It might be that this Imperial Concubine Li was too outstanding and too talented. Any other woman would not be at ease. In her previous life, Su Wenyue had heard some gossip that Han Yu and this Imperial Concubine Li had a close relationship. There were even some unpleasant rumors that this Imperial Concubine Li had also liked Han Yu before, but she was with the emperor by accident. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, Su Wenyue was already wary.

"Your house is quite good. It has a great location, is large enough, and is decorated in a grand and elegant manner." Su Hengyi had already gotten to know the layout of the house along the way and said with a smile, thinking that Han Yu, his brother-in-law, was indeed an extraordinary person. Not only had he been promoted many times at a young age and reached the position of a sixth-rank captain, but he didn't know how far he had developed now. It must have cost a lot of money just to buy this house, not to mention that he had recruited a lot of people to work for him. This alone was something that not ordinary people could compare to.

"I think it's good too. What I like most is that the house is big enough, and it also comes with a large piece of land, which can be used for expansion or other purposes."

Su Wenyue is currently planning to use that piece of land to grow vegetables. At least the vegetables in the mansion don't have to be transported from the farm. Even if it's not far away, it still takes a lot of time and effort to go back and forth. It would be more convenient to open up a piece of open space behind the yard, and there will be no waste. Just pick as much as you want to eat from the field. There is no need to always have more in stock, especially vegetables. If they are left for a while, they will become stale.

Su Hengyi felt really emotional when he saw his sister like this. When did that naughty and ignorant girl become the competent mistress of a mansion? She is so virtuous that she not only gave birth to children for Han Yu, but also managed the inner courtyard in order. She can even help Han Yu socialize with other ladies and relatives outside. This makes him, as her brother, look at her with new eyes. They used to underestimate this naughty sister, but once she gets serious, she is no worse than anyone else.

"My little sister has really grown up and has become more sensible. I was worried that you would act up and make things difficult for your husband. Now it seems that my worries were in vain. Our sister is so smart and virtuous. Even I, your elder brother, could not have expected that you could do so well."

Su Wenyue listened to the emotion in Su Hengyi's words. All of this was the result of the painful lesson in her previous life. How could she be as ignorant as before? She felt deeply touched, but she just smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, you are teasing me on purpose. I won't do it! Did you bring me a gift when you go back to Jiyang? If not, I won't accept it!"

Su Wenyue stretched out her hand as she spoke, as if she really wanted to ask Su Hengyi for a gift.

"Looking at this, she's like a little girl who hasn't grown up. How old are you, but she still wants me to give her gifts?" Su Hengyi said as he pinched Su Wenyue's face because he felt itchy in his hands.

"Brother, I'm going to tell mother and sister-in-law that not only did you not give me a gift, you also bullied me. I told you not to pinch my face anymore!"

Su Wenyue was speechless. Why did these men like to pinch her face? The eldest brother was like this, the second brother was like this, and Han Yu was still like this. No matter how many times she protested, it was useless. They still did what they wanted next time. Was it because her face was tender and it felt more comfortable to be pinched?

"Tsk tsk, aren't you ashamed at your age to complain to your mother? You won't be ashamed if your brother-in-law finds out. Don't worry, I have brought you a gift. After all, I only have such a precious sister!"

As Su Hengyi spoke, he had someone carry in a box of things, all of which were specialties from Jiyang. Jiyang was close to the capital city, but not as big as Yiyang Prefecture. Basically, everything that Jiyang had, the capital city also had. However, after a trip, they always had to bring some things back. Especially since the two brothers Su Hengyi and Su Hengxuan had become accustomed to pampering their sister, they would always bring gifts for their sister every time they went out. That's why Su Wenyue asked Su Hengyi for a gift right away.

"Brother, I knew you were the best." Su Wenyue said as she happily opened the box and looked through it. It was obvious that these things had been carefully selected, and everything was exquisite. Although some were not so valuable, they were very much to her liking.

"You heartless little thing, now you know that I treat you the best." Su Hengyi said this, looking at his sister whom he had spoiled since childhood, with a doting and indulgent smile on his face.

"By the way, brother, how is the thing I asked you to help me investigate going? Have you found out any news about that person?" Su Wenyue couldn't say that she was so afraid. After all, that person followed Emperor Wu in the end. She just knew that her elder brother was going there, so she asked Su Hengyi to help her investigate. What's more, she relied on Concubine Li's talent for many things in her life. She was curious to know how Concubine Li was doing now. It would not be impossible to make friends with her without affecting her. After all, Concubine Li was also an extraordinary woman she admired. Her heart was really conflicted and complicated.

Talking about this matter, Su Hengyi was a little confused. He didn't know why his sister asked him to check such an unknown person. However, although he didn't understand why, Su Hengyi, who always doted on his sister, in order to fulfill Su Wenyue's instructions, asked his subordinates to check for several days, but they didn't find anyone who met the conditions mentioned by Su Wenyue.

"Sister, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? This person is really called 'Chen Li'. I searched all over Jiyang and found someone named 'Chen Li', but she is different from what you described. Did you make a mistake?"

After Su Hengyi said this, Su Wenyue was not sure. She actually didn't know what Concubine Li's real name was. She only knew that her original surname was Chen, and the emperor conferred the title of Concubine Li on her. She thought that perhaps the emperor took a character from her name. After all, Emperor Wu was rather lazy in this regard and liked to confer titles based on the concubines' surnames and names, so she reported such a name. Now when she checked, there was actually no such person. She was very sure that Concubine Li was from Ji Yang, but she also knew her eldest brother's ability. If even her eldest brother couldn't find this person, maybe she really had made a mistake.

Su Hengyi sighed inwardly at his sister's uncertain look, wondering how such a person whose name he couldn't even figure out could have attracted so much attention from his sister. Could it be because of what his sister had dreamed of? Then he really had to pay close attention.
