Chapter 618: Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty-Four

“Is everything taken care of, the matter with Liu Xuan…”

“Daughter-in-law, rest assured, from today onwards, Liu Xuan will fall into silence. He no longer has the capability to compete, at most he’s just a wealthy young master, incapable of causing any significant trouble.”

Su Wenyue listened to Han Yu’s words but did not feel at ease. As the saying goes, ‘A lamed snake can still bite’: “But considering Liu Xuan’s character and mind, as long as he is still in Peicheng, even if he lacks the power to compete, I fear he won’t be content.”

Su Wenyue spoke euphemistically, but Han Yu understood what his daughter-in-law meant: “It would be best to eradicate such a person completely, but as we’re still within the boundaries of Peicheng, we must consider Liu Wenyong’s face no matter what. Liu Wenyong doesn’t want Liu Xuan to have too much power to threaten his chosen successor. That’s why he tolerated our actions and didn’t interfere. But that doesn’t mean he would allow us to harm Liu Xuan’s life. Therefore, even though we know that leaving Liu Xuan behind will cause many future troubles, we have no choice.”

Clearly, Su Wenyue also understood this principle. She was just worried and wanted to remind Han Yu. Hearing this, she said no more. Since Han Yu was aware of the situation, he would naturally make arrangements. It wasn’t her place to worry about these matters.

Having put aside her worries, Su Wenyue then remembered the words Chen Li had said, and her facial expression turned somewhat cold.

Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Han Yu knew that this mood was due to that matter, and just as he was about to explain, Su Wenyue already started speaking.

“What exactly is going on with you and Zhou Yao, those rumors outside…”

“There’s nothing between that woman and me. You have to believe me, daughter-in-law. Don’t you know my heart yet?”

“It’s precisely because I know, that I’m unwilling to believe those rumors are true. But I am just an ordinary woman. It’s not just rumors, the stories being passed around have a semblance of truth, and someone even claimed to have seen it with their own eyes. How do you explain that?!”

As Su Wenyue spoke, her face showed a look of anger, pain, and disappointment. She believed Chen Li wouldn’t deceive her on this matter. If it were a lie, she could easily expose it once Han Yu returned.

Han Yu, seeing his daughter-in-law questioning him in this manner, actually felt a sigh of relief inside. At least she hadn’t passed judgment on the matter based on Chen Li’s words alone; her questions could be seen as seeking an explanation, waiting for him to clarify. She still believed in him. Compared to her previous reactions, the daughter-in-law was clearly willing to listen to his words, which is why she waited for him to explain in person.

“Daughter-in-law, what Chen Li saw was both true and not true,” Han Yu said, silently cursing Chen Li countless times in his heart. He knew it was her who caused the trouble. That woman was not peaceful, jumping around outside; Han Yu had let it pass because of some merits she had, but to go as far as to stir up trouble in front of his daughter-in-law. Fortunately, this time his wife was calm and waited for him to come back and explain, otherwise, given her usual impulsive nature, she might have done something reckless.

If Han Yu had said this at any other time, Su Wenyue would be mostly curious, but now she was not in the mood for such distractions, somewhat restless: “What’s true and what’s not? Just tell me what exactly happened. Stop being so evasive!”
