Chapter 579: Chapter 585
Su Wenyue had intended to retort with “What wouldn’t she dare to do?” yet, seeing Han Yu with his seemingly light and breezy but implicitly threatening demeanor, she truly lacked the resolve. She knew all too well how profound previous lessons had been; every time she found herself in such a situation, Han Yu would deal with her quite harshly.
“Husband, what’s wrong with you? Why have you become like this after I just went out to buy some things? Did something happen while I was out?” Su Wenyue wasn’t foolish; knowing something was off, she humbled herself and asked pleasingly, planning to understand the situation before responding.
“You’re quite perceptive, and smarter than before; at last, you realize where the problem lies.” Han Yu didn’t immediately clarify but praised her in a way that felt quite unpleasant no matter how one heard it.
Grinding her teeth secretly, Su Wenyue tolerated the despicable man: “Husband, you haven’t said what happened?”
“Daughter-in-law, have you had any contact with Liu Xiu?” Han Yu tried to control the jealousy in his heart and asked rather calmly. As a man, he was very sensitive to certain feelings. Although Han Yu didn’t know the purpose behind Liu Xiu’s desire to meet his daughter-in-law, he sensed no malice; he even felt that Liu Xiu seemed to have a fondness for his wife. Even though Liu Xiu himself didn’t realize it, Han Yu could discern something from the tone and demeanor Liu Xiu used when speaking of his wife. The conclusion he drew was far from satisfying!
“I don’t know him!” Su Wenyue replied without thinking, but then, recalling something, she added: “Strictly speaking, I don’t know him. However, I did save him once before. You’re aware of that, aren’t you? Afterward, there was no further interaction. Why do you ask?”
Su Wenyue was genuinely surprised that Han Yu would ask her this and didn’t understand what problem had arisen. Could it be that Liu Xiu had said or done something that led to Han Yu’s misunderstanding?
“Really, there was nothing else? Perhaps it happened unwittingly. Think carefully; this matter is very important!” Han Yu believed his wife but from his observations of Liu Xiu’s reactions, he always felt something was amiss.
Su Wenyue thought hard and still shook her head: “Really, there was nothing. Apart from the time I told you about saving him, I haven’t seen him since!”
Su Wenyue answered resolutely upon seeing Han Yu’s persistence on the issue: “What exactly is going on? Why do you ask me this? Could it be that you suspect there’s something between General Liu and me?!”
As Su Wenyue spoke, she suddenly connected Han Yu’s inexplicably strange attitude with her realization, and her expression immediately darkened.
“Han Yu, is this what you think of me? No wonder you were acting so weird when I came back, actually suspecting me of having an affair with another man. Is my character so poor, and am I that unworthy of your trust? To think that we’ve been married for many years, even have a child together, we’re an old couple now, yet we lack even the most basic trust. How laughable!”
