Chapter 604



Su Wenyue was aware of the Shao family's identity and had originally intended to be friendly with them. Even though Han Yu was very powerful, they were now based in Pei City. Although they were not afraid of anything, it would not be wrong to be humble and low-key.

But reality is always helpless. Since entering the City Lord's Mansion, Su Wenyue has noticed from the beginning that Shao's attitude towards her is malicious, and the idea of ​​making friends with her has disappeared. She intends to make friends, but it does not mean that she has to lower her status to curry favor with him. However, she did not expect Shao to be so reckless and say such words in front of everyone, clearly wanting to embarrass her. Not to mention the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion, as the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion, Shao's behavior is really inappropriate.

Everyone present first focused their eyes on Shaw, and then turned to look at the other protagonist, Su Wenyue, who was slapped in the face by Shaw. Most of them were watching the show and gloating, wanting to see how Su Wenyue would react.

Su Wenyue's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. She was not ashamed or angry as everyone thought. Instead, she covered her mouth and smiled: "The Second Young Master's wife really understands me. Haha, I am really ashamed to say that I just can't stand those shameless vixens pestering my husband. In this respect, I am really not a good woman. Fortunately, my husband treats me well and is willing to pamper me and indulge me. He says that he is devoted to me and doesn't want other women to come between us. Otherwise, I, a woman in the inner house, have to rely on my husband for everything. If he really wants other women, what can I do? It's useless even if I make a fuss. I, Su Wenyue, am so worthy of having such a good husband. I am content in this life."

Su Wenyue seemed to be too emotional when she spoke, and she even wiped the tears of gratitude from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. This was what she really said, or at least she probably really thought so. She was just too embarrassed to say it in front of Han Yu.

No one expected Su Wenyue to say such a thing. In such an era with strict requirements for women, being virtuous is the norm and being jealous is absolutely unacceptable. It will be despised by the husband's family and talked about by others. But Su Wenyue actually said it like this, directly confessing her thoughts. It was so bold and unscrupulous that it made people admire, envy and hate her.

Basically all the people present were ladies and young ladies. Such a flower-viewing banquet was not a place for concubines. As the principal wife, who wouldn't want to dominate her man like Su Wenyue? But this was not allowed. Not to mention the sadness in their hearts, some of them even took the initiative to take concubines for their husbands for the sake of offspring. It was too frustrating to watch those little fairies seducing their husbands and making trouble in the backyard.

So after Su Wenyue said this, everyone who had originally condemned Su Wenyue and thought she was wrong, despised and blamed her, but now most of them have changed their attitude. The ladies here appear to be virtuous on the surface, but that's just on the surface. A few of them really think so, but they have no choice. Su Wenyue's words have expressed their true feelings.

"Madam Han is such a straightforward person. I really admire what you said. We only dared to think about these words in our hearts but never say them out loud. Now I am feeling relieved thanks to you, Madam Han." Madam Xu said with a smile. Her voice was very straightforward and bright. She had not said much just now and she disdained the hypocritical faces of these so-called ladies. Now she was the first one to stand up and support Su Wenyue. Even if those present had the same idea in their hearts, she was the only one who dared to do it so blatantly.

Firstly, although these words were what she thought in her heart, they were not in line with the requirements and standards for women in this era. Moreover, the one who attacked Su Wenyue was the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion, someone that most of the ladies present did not dare to offend. Just based on Shao's usual domineering, tyrannical and vengeful nature, anyone who dared to go against her would definitely be hated by her.

This requires talking about Madam Xu's status. Madam Xu's status is one of the best in Peicheng. Although it is not as good as the City Lord's Mansion, her husband's family and her own family are both very powerful. They have a high status in Peicheng and are both first-class families. With these two backers behind her, Madam Xu is a person that even the City Lord's wife is a little afraid of. Moreover, Madam Xu's husband also loves Madam Xu very much. There is only one concubine in the backyard, who is almost there for show. She is very confident when she says this.

Su Wenyue was naturally aware of Mrs. Xu's identity. She was also an important person on her list of friends. However, this lady had always been lukewarm and didn't like to talk to people. It wasn't just towards her, but towards everyone. Unexpectedly, her words won Mrs. Xu's favor, and she supported her without worrying about whether it would offend Shao.

Madam Xu showed a friendly attitude, and Su Wenyue followed suit: "I hope Madam Xu doesn't laugh at me. I am too straightforward. I don't like to hide things. I just say it out loud. I don't care about so many things. Maybe after today, my reputation of being jealous will spread even more. I'm afraid everyone will call me a 'jealous woman' when they mention me. But I don't want to change. Life is long or short. Who knows what will happen in the future? I just want to live happily!"

Although Su Wenyue's words were a response to Madam Xu, she also had other intentions. She didn't really care about her reputation. After what happened in her previous life, she took her reputation seriously for a while. Later, she was enlightened by Han Yu and became less concerned about it. However, she didn't completely ignore it. She was forced to do this today because of the situation. She had no other choice. Anyway, her reputation was not very good, at least in this aspect. However, she could have a reputation for being jealous. In order to achieve her goal, she risked everything, but she didn't want to ruin her reputation and attract hatred. Therefore, she said the following words, which really won a lot of recognition, making everyone feel that Su Wenyue was not so arrogant, but just a person of temperament.

"Madam Han, what you said is very right. That's right. Why bother about so many things? It's better to live a happy life instead of feeling aggrieved! Besides, we are all ladies from different families. We have good moral character and are not those gossipy women. If anyone deliberately slanders and ruins Madam Han's reputation, I will be the first to disagree!" Madam Xu looked at Su Wenyue with shining eyes. She felt that Su Wenyue was so much to her liking. Every word of these words hit the mark on her mind. Although they had only met for the first time, Madam Xu already regarded Su Wenyue as a close friend.

As a result, even Shao Shi, who had initially targeted Su Wenyue, felt more touched and was no longer as hostile to Su Wenyue. Only a small part of the reason why she targeted Su Wenyue was because she had a bad impression of Su Wenyue.

However, Shao wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Su Wenyue did not intend to let it go. She would naturally fight back after being slapped in the face.
