Chapter 247: Give an Inch, Take a Mile

"Madam, perhaps we should not attend after all. Master Li and our Master have never gotten along, and there has never been any interaction between the two families. Now that our Master is not at home, yet they have sent an invitation, I fear they may harbor ill intentions." Aunt Li expressed her concern. She didn't know much about Han Yu's campaign against the bandits, but she was aware of some insider information, hence her wariness towards the Li family and fear that they might harm Su Wenyue.

"It's precisely because they sent the invitation at this time that I'm even more determined to go. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like we've lost face? Besides, I want to see what they're really up to. Do they really think that just because my husband is away, I'll be easy to bully?"
