"General Han, wait a minute. This evil girl has offended the Queen. I must give General Han an explanation in front of everyone today, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Since Liu Wenyong wanted to make friends with Han Yu, how could he let Zhou Yao ruin things? His words were full of sincerity.

"There is no need to do this, City Lord. I believe in the City Lord's character and will handle this fairly. I am not here today to call for an explanation. I just want to find out the City Lord's attitude so that I can feel at ease. As for Miss Zhou, this is a family affair of the City Lord's Mansion. As an outsider, I will not get involved. Goodbye!" Han Yu said as he said goodbye to Liu Wenyong and was about to leave.

"I'll see you off." Seeing that Han Yu did not insist, Liu Wenyong felt that Han Yu was a smart man who could stick to his bottom line and principles, act with propriety and generosity. For example, in this matter, there was nothing wrong with Han Yu staying because he was seeking justice for his wife. However, doing so would seem a little too petty.

"Really? So you came to vent your anger for me, why didn't you say so earlier!" Although Su Wenyue said this, she had a smile on her face and was obviously very happy. She was actually just an ordinary woman. The fact that Han Yu could do this for her showed how much he cared about her. Not to mention the matter itself, just the thought was enough to make her happy.

"My wife has been bullied by other women. How can I, as her husband, just sit back and watch?" Han Yu actually wanted to say that no one can bully his woman except himself.

"My husband, you are so kind, but why don't you stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a while? I don't know how the City Lord will deal with Zhou Yao?" Su Wenyue had never seen a woman more annoying than Zhou Yao. Even though that attitude was probably pretended, Su Wenyue still hated her.

"You!" Han Yu tapped Su Wenyue's forehead. He didn't say that if he stayed there, Zhou Yao's treatment might change. If the city lord's wife came to plead for mercy, he couldn't completely ignore her. He had to give her some face. Once he left, the matter would be a foregone conclusion. Liu Wenyong would not let Zhou Yao off easily in order to give him an explanation. What's more, he had already gotten the result he wanted. He didn't bother to do such a thing. What was the point of watching a woman being punished?

"Don't worry, Zhou Yao will have to pay the price for what he did. The city lord will give us an explanation."

Su Wenyue nodded. She never doubted Han Yu's judgment. Since Han Yu said so, there must be a basis for his statement.

Such a thing was also a trivial matter in Su Wenyue's view. After getting the result, she did not take it to heart and put her mind on the real business.

All kinds of slander and rumors have been spreading in the military camp for so long, it is time to come to an end. Han Yu already has the list in his hand, and he acted decisively and suppressed all kinds of rumors at an extremely fast speed. For a while, no bad words about Su Wenyue could be heard in the military camp.

"Okay, here is the list of people who will stay. Others whose names are not called, collect the resettlement fee, leave the barracks as soon as possible, and arrange your own destination." Fang Xin read out the names on the list, and immediately there were voices of discussion, and some people expressed dissatisfaction.

"Why? We were all injured in the battlefield and were forced to retreat. Why can they stay with Madam Han, while we can only leave with such a small resettlement fee? This is unfair!"

"Yes, this is unfair. Why do you treat us like this? We want an explanation."

Although those people were afraid of their superiors' majesty, this was a matter concerning the rest of their lives. Once their own interests were involved, this fear was nothing. They expressed their dissatisfaction directly, and those who were unable to stay echoed him.

Fang Xin looked at the people below without any sympathy, but rather a bit of irony. If it weren't for the fact that these people were only provoked and hadn't really done anything, and had fought and bled on the battlefield after all, they would have disappeared quietly like those people, and they would not be able to jump around here.

"Shut up, everyone! Don't you see where you are? You are allowed to make noise here! You want an explanation? Fine, I'll give it to you now." After Fang Xin finished speaking, he called a subordinate over, brought up a booklet, and started reading from it. After only reading a few pages, the people below became silent, and some even had some fear and terror on their faces.

They didn't expect that their discussion and complaints about Madam Han were heard and recorded, which became the reason why they couldn't stay, so they didn't dare to refute or complain. They criticized the general's wife behind her back and said bad things about her. They were able to stand here without being punished by the general. It was already the general's generosity. How could they dare to expect anything else?

"Is there nothing to say? When the general's wife said she would take you in and give you a bite to eat, you were greedy and wanted more, and even ruined her reputation. Even animals know how to be grateful, but you don't even have the slightest gratitude for her kindness. Why do you think she helped you? Just because you were injured on the battlefield? To put it bluntly, did you fight for her? If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Even if she has kindness, she won't dare to help people like you. Otherwise, if she doesn't do enough for you one day, who knows what ungrateful things you will do next."

Fang Xin's words were so sharp that these people regretted it but dared not speak out. To be fair, if they were in such a situation, they would make the same decision as the lady. No one wants the story of the farmer and the snake to happen to themselves.

With Fang Xin's words, those who couldn't stay could only pack up and leave silently, with nothing to do except regret and remorse. Those who could stay were originally kind-hearted, so they were more grateful to Su Wenyue for taking them in, and also more determined to be loyal to Su Wenyue.

"Madam, everyone has been brought here. Please give your instructions." Fang Xin led everyone into the yard. The yard was not big and suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

Han Yu had consulted Su Wenyue before taking action, so Su Wenyue was not surprised to hear the news. Looking at the people below, Han Yu must have warned them before sending them over, so she did not say much. Putting aside the rumors this time, these soldiers who retired from the battlefield with injuries were still worthy of respect. It was their bloody battles on the front lines that ensured the safety of those in the rear. She did not want to add insult to injury, and to add to the heartache while also being physically injured.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Since we are here, we are a family. I believe the general has already told you about the things you should pay attention to, so I won't say much. I only have one thing to say: since you are here, just stay here with peace of mind. My ability is limited, and although I can't give you a rich life, as long as you are willing to work hard together, at least you will have enough food and clothing."
