Chapter 600: Chapter 606: Encounter Danger Halfway
Han Yu frowned when he found out that Su Wenyue was going to attend the Flower Viewing Banquet hosted by the City Lord’s wife, feeling very uneasy. Recently, he had received quite a bit of news. The City Lord Mansion seemed peaceful, but undercurrents were surging within. Even the seemingly foolish and brainless madwoman from last time was actually deceptive and problematic in identity.
Last time, Han Yu personally went to the City Lord Mansion to seek justice for his daughter-in-law. The attitude Liu Wenyong showed indicated he would not let Zhou Yao off lightly. Han Yu speculated that Zhou Yao might be driven out of the City Lord Mansion, or if not, she would receive a severe lesson. However, the outcome turned out to be quite unexpected.
After that day, not only was Zhou Yao not expelled from the City Lord Mansion, but she had also been strutting around outside just a few days later, albeit not daring to show herself in front of him and his daughter-in-law.
Han Yu, who was well-informed, was inevitably dissatisfied with this result. However, knowing that something tricky was at play, and considering that they were relying on someone else’s territory, he didn’t rashly confront them. Instead, he discreetly investigated and discovered Zhou Yao’s inappropriate behavior.
Especially Zhou Yao, whose problematic identity was identifiable yet with no definitive details uncovered. Zhou Yao’s presence around Su Wenyue, feigning insanity and playing the fool, was suspicious in both motive and intent, making others wary.
“What’s the matter? It’s just a Flower Viewing Banquet; I will be careful. There shouldn’t be any problems. Don’t worry,” Su Wenyue assured Han Yu, clearly noticing his concern.
Seeing Su Wenyue so composed did not reassure Han Yu; it only increased his worry, fearing his daughter-in-law might be too careless. “Qi Luo is coming back soon; she knows martial arts. Have her stay by your side for added security, so you won’t fall victim to plots. The City Lord Mansion is becoming more chaotic, and the three Young Masters are fiercely competing with each other, acting without constraint. In their struggle for the next City Lord’s position, it’s hard to tell what they might do. Be careful not to get involved.”
Su Wenyue, hearing Han Yu’s words, took them to heart and said seriously, “Husband, rest assured, I understand. I’ll be cautious.”
Han Yu nodded and gave a few more instructions before letting go and heading to the study room. His face returned to normal, hiding his worries from Su Wenyue, but his concern for their three children remained unabated.
The news from below was that on their way to being escorted home, the children had encountered an ambush and attack, sustaining minor injuries. Although not serious, Han Yu was worried the children might be traumatized. Despite his concerns, he arranged for more bodyguards to protect the children, taking no further action. In these turbulent times, if the children wished to stay by their side in the future, they would have to learn resilience and adaptation. If they couldn’t manage even that, they wouldn’t deserve to be Han Yu’s children.
