Chapter 614: Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty
“`
“Alright then, since you put it that way, I’ll just be frank. It’s really nothing major. It’s just that your husband, General Han, has taken up with another woman outside, and that woman is none other than Zhou Yao, the Miss Cousin of the City Lord Mansion, whom you recently kicked out,” Chen Li indeed spat out everything she knew in one breath, all the while carefully observing Su Wenyue’s expression, ready to offer consolation when Su Wenyue fell apart.
“`
“`
After all, Chen Li had witnessed Su Wenyue’s ‘jealous’ nature. She had once been intimidated by Su Wenyue’s aggressive tactics and was absolutely convinced that Su Wenyue would never believe in the possibility of Han Yu’s betrayal. If Su Wenyue was going to storm the City Lord Mansion, Chen Li would have to intervene.
“`
“`
That woman was crafty indeed. Now that they were relying on Peicheng’s territory, and consequently the City Lord Mansion, offending the City Lord Mansion was unquestionably unwise. If Han Yu grew tired of her because of it or, even worse, allowed Zhou Yao—the detestable and hypocritical woman—to benefit, Chen Li would be infuriated to death.
“`
“`
Su Wenyue felt a sudden pain in her heart, as if she couldn’t catch her breath. It took a while for her to regain her composure, but she didn’t lose her reason. Perhaps it was the traces of rouge on the clothes last time that had stirred many speculations in her heart. Thus, she was able to remain calm now and, regardless of what had transpired, she needed to confront Han Yu in person to get his response.

“`
“Is that so?” Su Wenyue asked with an unchanged expression, as if discussing something completely ordinary.
“`
“`
Chen Li blinked, completely caught off guard by Su Wenyue’s calm reaction, which was entirely unexpected. None of the reactions Chen Li had anticipated from Su Wenyue upon learning the truth occurred. It was just too composed.
“`
“`
“Yes, that’s it. I mean, Han Yu has taken another woman, and that woman is Zhou Yao, the Miss Cousin of the City Lord Mansion. Not only is Zhou Yao hypocritical and pretentious, but she’s also extremely ambitious. Who knows, she might already be eyeing your position as the General’s Wife. You must be careful. I came to tell you specifically because I feared you were unaware and would be completely unprepared, thereby suffering at the hands of that woman,” Chen Li almost thought Su Wenyue hadn’t understood her words properly, such was her apparent calmness, so she repeated herself to clarify her purpose.
“`
“`
“Then I’m aware now. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chen, in making a special trip to inform me. I will take precautions, rest assured. As long as I am here, I won’t let any other woman take this place,” Su Wenyue spoke with a smile, but her words were laced with endless chill.
“`
“`
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Chen Li didn’t feel relief at Su Wenyue’s composure; she presumed the shock must have been too great, and thus Su Wenyue’s reaction was so out of the ordinary. Su Wenyue’s current state was more daunting than her previous rage-fueled desire to strike someone—it was this bone-chilling coldness that resembled Han Yu’s demeanor. Were they alike because they were husband and wife?
“`
“`
“Sister Yue, you…” Chen Li had a lot of comforting words ready but didn’t know how to deliver them.
“`
“`
However, Su Wenyue simply offered a faint smile, “Regardless of how things actually are, Lady Li, I’m grateful that you came to tell me today. I appreciate this gesture, and I, Su Wenyue, accept it! I have matters to attend to today and cannot keep you any longer, but when we find the time, let’s have a proper chat.”
