"Master Li is being too polite," said Su Wenyue. Although her mind was preoccupied, she maintained her composure as she rewarded the ceremonial official with a gratuity and exchanged pleasantries. She then instructed the housekeeper to see the official out with great care.
"Congratulations, Madam. You are now the noble Madam Zhen Guo, surpassing the first rank. Apart from the palace, you can practically strut about anywhere with such prestige!" Han Yu teased Su Wenyue cheerfully, attempting to lift her spirits once the official had left.
Regardless, it was still a happy occasion, and Su Wenyue couldn't help but feel some joy. Seeing Han Yu's antics, she burst into laughter, and their three sons quickly joined in to congratulate their mother, their faces beaming with happiness.
Han Yu and Su Wenyue, as a couple, watched their grown children with increasing contentment.
