"Since you can't stand the gossip in their village, why not just go back to jail? It's quiet there!" Han Yu said without any compromise. Yang's face froze and she looked at her daughter-in-law with a bit of pleading.
Su Wenyue would have to be crazy to care about this matter. When she saw her mother-in-law looking at her, she just lowered her head and said nothing, with a submissive look, thinking to herself that Han Yu did not disappoint her.
"Fourth brother, my leg is broken and it's inconvenient for me. Your sister-in-law has to take care of me and the child at the same time. She is really too busy. Cousin Fangru is helping her cousin take care of the child to avoid causing trouble for you."
"If Third Brother is afraid of causing trouble for me, just stay in the village and recuperate. Why bother coming all the way to the city? My mansion will not tolerate those people with unknown origins and vicious minds." Han Yu said with a smile, which made him look even more dangerous than when he had a gloomy face.
Han Lin could hear the meaning and warning in Han Yu's words, and he didn't dare to say anything more. The fourth brother didn't want him to come in the first place, and if he annoyed him and even sent him back, it would be a waste of time and effort.
"Fourth brother, I know that what the Wang family did before was wrong, but Fangru is a good child, very different from the third brother's wife. With her around..." As Yang was speaking, she saw Han Yu's puzzled expression and stopped talking.
Wang Fangru and Jiang Chunlan came here happily, with great purpose, but they couldn't even get in the door. That would have been fine, but what was even more outrageous was that Han Yu just let them stand outside and didn't send a carriage to take them back. Wang Fangru had some silver on her, but Jiang Chunlan was even more penniless. Given the situation of the Jiang family, and the fact that money was worthless in this world, the two girls stood outside the Han Mansion in the cold weather, shivering passively.
Yang was helpless. She had thought that the fourth son and his wife might be soft-hearted and let them stand outside, but she didn't expect that the fourth son and his wife really didn't care about the two of them. This person came with them, and if she got frozen or something happened, she would feel bad. But if the fourth son and his wife didn't agree, she couldn't let anyone in. The servants in the mansion didn't listen to her at all. What's more, the house was bought by her daughter-in-law, and she felt somewhat guilty.
It was almost evening and it was getting dark outside. Yang was sitting comfortably in the room, being served delicious food and drinks. However, she felt a little restless. She went to see Wang Fangru and Jiang Chunlan, who were still squatting at the door. After hesitating for a long time, she finally went to look for Su Wenyue.
"Mom, Yue Niang is taking care of the children. Do you have something to talk to her about? If it's nothing important, why not talk about it tomorrow? You've been traveling all day and you're tired. You'd better rest early. I'll take you to the capital to have a good look tomorrow. After all, this is your first time here."
Han Yu pretended to be ignorant of the worry and anxiety on Yang's face. The reason why he did not arrange a carriage to send Wang Fangru and Jiang Chunlan back was that he sincerely wanted to teach his mother a lesson, so that she would think twice before doing anything in the future. He would not clean up the mess every time, but his mother would be soft-hearted and confused, which would not only cause trouble for him, but also make his wife unhappy. Even if she was his own mother, Han Yu's patience was limited, and he would not indulge Yang without limits.
"She's taking care of the child? Why don't I wait for her?" Yang said hesitantly. If she waited until tomorrow, in such a cold winter and with snow falling outside, the two girls would be frozen to death.
"Mom, if you have any troubles, you can tell me. As a son, I am closer to you than a daughter-in-law. As long as it is reasonable, I will find a way to help you." Han Yu said again
"No, no need. It's nothing. I'll go back first." Seeing her son's firm attitude and how angry he looked, Yang didn't dare to mention it anymore. She had to give up the idea of asking her daughter-in-law for help.
"Then I'll let the maid take you back. This house is big and there are many roads. You won't get lost." Han Yu ordered people to send Yang back safely, and then returned to the room. At this time, the three children were asleep. Su Wenyue was clearly in the room, watching Han Yu come in with a smile.
"Mom has gone back? Did they ask someone to send her back safely?" Su Wenyue asked, appropriately expressing her concern for her mother-in-law. It was not she who asked not to see her mother-in-law, but Han Yu himself who asked for it.
"Don't worry, I have arranged for a maid to send mother back. You don't have to worry about this matter. Mother should know that she will have to bear the consequences of her actions. There is no need to let those ignorant people take advantage of every opportunity and run in front of us to make trouble." Han Yu said this with disgust on his face. Thinking of the third brother's family, he had promised his wife at the beginning, but the third brother's family still followed him. Although his wife did not mention it again, he still had to give her an explanation.
"Wife, I will have someone take good care of the third brother's family. I thought he should be at peace after breaking his leg, but he has become smarter and knows how to coax mother and follow her into the city. It seems that the injury was not serious enough. If he dares to have any thoughts, I will not let him off!"
Su Wenyue did not miss the ruthlessness in Han Yu's tone, but she would still be on guard. For the sake of her children, it would not be too careful. Han Lin had not done many things in his life. Han Yu was mostly on guard against Wang Shi. However, Su Wenyue understood that Han Lin must be even more sinister and vicious than Wang Shi, and she would never take it lightly.
But after Yang came back from Han Yu's place, she became more and more restless in her room. She turned around and around, making old man Han dizzy.
"I say, old woman, what are you doing? Why are you wandering around for no reason?" Old man Han was against Yang's tacit consent to Jiang Chunlan and Wang Fangru coming along, so at this time he didn't care about those two girls who didn't know how to love and respect themselves. He only spoke up when he saw that Yang's reaction was really too much.
"I wonder why you, old man, are so careless. Chunlan and Fangru are still outside. It's so cold and snowing. It's almost dark. What if the two girls get frozen?"
"What is there to worry about? If a good girl had some sense of shame and self-respect, she would not have been so shameless as to follow us into the city. The fourth child did nothing wrong. Don't go and find your daughter-in-law unhappy because of this. You should say that it is because your daughter-in-law is filial that she let us live here. Don't be ungrateful." Old Man Han was afraid that his wife would make a mistake again, so he warned her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Yang heard what Old Man Han said, but she was not angry: "I know this. I also know how good the Fourth Son's wife is. How can I find fault with her? But Chunlan and Fangru came to the capital with us after all. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to explain to their families."
The more Yang spoke, the more worried she became. She felt a little regretful that she had brought the person with her. She had thought that since the person was here, the fourth brother and his wife would not just ignore him.
