What matter?
What matter?
For a moment, everyone pricked up their ears, eager to hear what Mrs. Han had to say.
Mrs. He and the elder madam's hearts were in their throats.
"Mrs. Han!" the elder madam spoke in a deep voice.
This kind of matter absolutely couldn't be allowed to come to light by Mrs. Han, allowing the younger generation in the family to know, or how would she and Mrs. He face anyone?
Mrs. Han looked at the elder madam with a smile that was not quite a smile and asked, "Does mother have something to say?"
"Whatever it is, tell me, and I will handle it with justice!"
"Since mother has said so, then I will follow mother's words. I only hope mother can truly handle it with justice!"
"Of course!"
Having received the answer she wanted, Mrs. Han did not say more.
The elder madam did not wish to stay any longer, "Alright, you haven't been back for quite a few days, first go back to your respective courtyards to see if anything is missing. I will return to Cixin Academy. Wanwan, come with your maternal grandmother!"
"Yes!"
When the granddaughters offered to see her off, the elder madam waved them off, "It's fine if Wanwan accompanies me!"
Xu Xinmo left with the elder madam.
In the hall.
Yun Chen also stood up and said to Yun Qi, "Come to the study with me!" before departing.
Yun Qi watched Yun Chen's retreating figure, then said to Mrs. Han, "You first accompany Jinnian to Niannian Garden. I will come to pick you up and return to Qiyue Academy later!"
Mrs. Han nodded slightly and watched Yun Qi leave.
Mrs. He wanted to come forward and say a few words to Mrs. Han, but Mrs. Han smiled and spoke, "Sister-in-law must be busy managing the central kitchens. Jinnian and I will go to Niannian Garden by ourselves. Although it has been many years since I've returned, I doubt the layout of the mansion has changed much, and it will also be good to familiarize myself with the way!"
Having said that, Mrs. Han led Yun Jinnian and a few others from Mrs. Yuan's group and left.
Yun Muyou and a few others were somewhat stunned for a moment.
Why did this auntie seem different upon her return this time?
Yun Zhen and his two brothers also said they had matters to attend to and told Mrs. He before leaving the mansion...
Mrs. He sat in her chair, looking at the people remaining, "You all should go back to your own courtyards too!". She rubbed her temples, exhausted.
The items that Mrs. Han sent back had been used up, and several of the intricately carved trinkets had also been given away. But what should she do now?
Aunt Cui glanced at Mrs. He and left with Yun Zihan.
The faces of Yun Qi's aunts, Aunt Su and Aunt Hua, however, were somewhat pale. Since Yun Qi's return, he hadn't glanced at them once from beginning to end.
He was also very cold towards the children they had borne.
And Mrs. Han, who had never deigned to look at them before, had unexpectedly glanced at them today, a look that seemed insignificant, but left them petrified.
Aunt Hua was a child born from within the Yun Family and was not very familiar with Mrs. Han's nature, but Aunt Su had served Mrs. Han in the earlier years and married into the Yun Family with her. She was all too clear about Mrs. Han's character.
She was clear-cut in love and hate; either she would ignore you completely, or she would deal with you so harshly that you'd wish for death!
Yun Jinnian didn't quite understand why Mrs. Han was behaving this way.
On the carriage ride, she could still feel Mrs. Han's hatred, but why did everything change as soon as she got off the carriage and set foot in the Yun Family?
Was she afraid of the elder madam?
Mrs. Han seemed to know what Yun Jinnian was thinking, as she gently arranged Yun Jinnian's hair, "Strange?"
"Hmm!"
"Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. Your mother can disregard her own reputation, but you will have to marry someday. Your mother hopes for you to marry a good husband, so naturally, I cannot ruin both your reputations!"
Yun Jinnian thought for a moment and then understood, clutching Mrs. Han's hand tightly, "Mother, I understand!"
The elder madam is the grandmother. When an elder scolds a younger family member, the younger must endure, but if the younger criticizes the elder, it is considered unfilial and invites harsh criticism from others!
