Although Han Yu was in the military camp and not under the jurisdiction of the government, there were still many connections between them. I just didn't know what kind of person the wife of the prefect was and whether she was easy to get along with. But no matter what, this banquet was a tough battle. After all, it was her first time to attend such a formal banquet in the prefecture.

As if she had anticipated Su Wenyue's troubles, An specially sent her nanny over to say, "Miss, Madam, please don't worry about the banquet hosted by the prefect's wife. It was originally because the eldest lady came to the city. I don't know who leaked the information and let the prefect's wife know that the eldest lady came. This banquet was also meant to curry favor and test you. Madam and Miss were both included. But Madam said that sooner or later you will break into the circle of noble ladies in the city. It's better to get to know everyone in advance. At least with the eldest lady here, no one dares to look at you with disdain."

"So that's what happened. I was wondering why the prefect's wife thought of inviting me to a banquet. Now that this is the case, I know. Go back and tell mother that I have already made up my mind and know how to deal with it. Let her rest assured."

"Yes, young lady, I will tell Madam. Also, Madam asked me to tell Miss that on the 24th, which is the day of the Little New Year, our Su family will also host a banquet for guests. Please invite the son-in-law and young lady to come back with you then."

"Okay, I understand."

After knowing the whole story, Su Wenyue felt much more relieved. However, since the prefect invited her because of something related to the Bei'an Marquis' Mansion, then some things would be different when she went there that day, and she could be more high-profile.

Originally, Su Wenyue had planned to keep a low profile. After all, they had no roots in the capital city. If they were too ostentatious, although the people of the Sun family might not do anything openly, they would definitely make trouble behind her back. This would be beneficial to her. Besides, her aunt and mother would all be present. With them around, Su Wenyue would have no worries and would no longer have to be so cautious for fear of being tricked by others. In terms of means, Su Wenyue absolutely believed that few people in the capital city could compare to her mother and aunt.

Han Yu also learned that the prefect and his wife were going to host a banquet for him and his wife. He was a little worried at first. He believed that he could handle it, but he was worried about his wife. It was not that his wife was incapable, but that there were some private methods in the backyard that his wife had never seen since she was a child and was protected by her natal family. He was afraid that his wife might get into trouble by accident.

Knowing that the Marquis's wife and his mother-in-law would be present, Han Yu felt relieved. Han Yu had little contact with the Marquis's wife, so he didn't know her, but he knew his mother-in-law well. There was no doubt about her abilities and means. With his mother-in-law around, he didn't have to worry about his wife.

However, for the sake of caution, Han Yu still told his wife: "Even though my aunt and mother-in-law are here, you should be careful and don't be careless. It's better to be careful. After all, some people are watching our family and want to do something."

Han Yu was not only talking about the judge Sun, but also a mysterious force. No one knew why it was targeting him. It seemed that he was blocking someone's way or hindering someone's business. Especially after the bandit suppression campaign that destroyed the bandits' stronghold, although he could not find the mysterious force behind it, he felt the deep malice of the person behind it.

Han Yu was on guard here, and he was no pushover. Those people had attacked him several times but failed to gain any advantage. After a period of peace, there was no guarantee that they would not turn against his wife because of him. Although Han Yu did not want his wife to worry about this matter, he was afraid that she would take it lightly, so he still mentioned it briefly.

Su Wenyue understood what Han Yu meant and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will be careful. You should be careful outside too. Don't let others take advantage of you and do something to you."

Even though Su Wenyue lived her whole life again, she still didn't know the details of the mysterious power that Han Yu talked about. After all, in her previous life, she didn't care about Han Yu's affairs at all, and she didn't live with Han Yu. She lived in the village and didn't know anything about what was happening around Han Yu. What's more, a lot of things in this life have changed because of her rebirth.

Su Wenyue even wondered whether this mysterious power hidden in the dark was related to Sikong Ling, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not. With the current power of the Sikong Mansion, Sikong Ling holds the main power of the Sikong family in his hands. It would be easy for him to deal with Han Yu, who has not yet established a firm foothold. There is no need to spend so much effort. Moreover, Sikong Ling had helped Han Yu before, which allowed Han Yu to successfully avoid the calculations of the mysterious power when he suppressed the bandits.

At the Sun Mansion, Madam Sun and her daughter both knew that the prefect's wife had invited Su Wenyue to a banquet. After all, such matters would not be kept secret and could be easily known. Both mother and daughter looked unhappy.

"Mom, I'm so angry. Why can that bitch Su be so glorious and even be invited to the banquet by the prefect's wife? Looking at that bitch's smug look, I want to tear her hypocritical face off!" Sun Qianru's face was distorted because of jealousy.

Although Madam Sun was also feeling uncomfortable, she still knew her limits. The Su family was not someone they could afford to offend. Last time, she lost face because of her arrogance and was scolded by the old lady of the Bei'an Marquis' Mansion. How could she not learn her lesson? However, looking at her daughter's expression, she also knew about the conflict between her daughter and the Su family. It was not easy for her to remain calm and face the Su family.

"My daughter, the Su family has a backer. They were actually separated from the second branch of the Marquis of Bei'an Mansion in Chang'an. How can our family afford to offend them? Last time, because of the trouble we made in the Su Mansion, your father was very unhappy. He didn't come to my room for half a month, but went to the courtyard of that foxy concubine. Let's not compete with the Su family. If we can't afford to offend them, can't we just hide away?"

"But mother, I just can't get over this."

Han Yu and Su Wenyue were a couple, one was an obstacle to her husband's future, and the other was her mortal enemy. The bandit suppression was not only instigated by Li Boyan. Sun Qianru just didn't show up because she knew Su Wenyue's backers, and hid behind the scenes. She had originally wanted to take advantage of the bandit suppression to kill Han Yu in the bandit's lair, but Han Yu not only came back safely, but also got promoted, leaving her husband further behind. Now there is a gap of several levels between her husband and Han Yu, and the same is true for her in front of Su Wenyue.

"My daughter, please don't be impulsive. I don't know what your father is thinking right now. Our situation in the mansion is not good. You must not cause any trouble at this time. If you really can't stand it, don't show it openly. I have been in Yiyang Prefecture for so many years, and I still have connections. Even if I don't show up, I can still make the Su family look bad. There is no need to do it yourself."
