Xiao Xi's courage was entirely fostered by Su Wenyue herself; no matter how Su Wenyue treated others, she could never bring herself to blame Xiao Xi. This servant girl was also exceedingly loyal and knew her boundaries, never taking her mistress's favor as a license to act inappropriately.
Though Su Wenyue did sneak a glance at Xiao Xi with a glare, Han Yu still caught it.
Han Yu, seeing his daughter-in-law's subtle gesture, felt a bit helpless. Such behavior from Xiao Xi was praiseworthy. He had always thought his daughter-in-law was a tad too kind to Xiao Xi, but now it seemed having someone like that around wasn't bad after all. Of course, that was only within certain limits; Xiao Xi truly was loyal.
"Why glare at her? Xiao Xi has done well this time, go ahead and receive your reward," Han Yu encouraged and dismissed Xiao Xi, leaving just the couple behind.
