Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: Chapter 580: Cant Afford the Punishment (2/2)

As soon as the soldier heard Xiao Xi’s words, his expression changed immediately. He had suspected that this group was not ordinary, but he didn’t expect that the lady had such a significant identity, being the General’s Wife, and specifically, the wife of the greatly respected General Han. Thinking back on his earlier rudeness, the soldier turned pale.

It was well-known that General Han was famously devoted to his wife, and the soldier had just insulted the General’s Wife. If the General sought to blame him for this, he was just a simple soldier.

“Please forgive me, General’s Wife. It was my fault for not recognizing you when you arrived, and for speaking out of turn. I truly deserve to die!” The soldier, thinking of the possible serious consequences, immediately knelt down to offer an apology to Su Wenyue, without any doubt about the authenticity of her identity. With such beauty and poise, who else could she be but the General’s Wife?

Su Wenyue, wanting to see Han Yu as soon as possible, wasn’t in the mood, nor did she intend, to squabble with a mere soldier: “There is no fault in not knowing, you did nothing wrong. Just be more mindful in the future. Now hurry and report our arrival.”

Su Wenyue was aware of the rules of the military camp and didn’t demand the guard to lead her in directly. Instead, she instructed him to report quickly so that Han Yu’s people could take her inside. As the General’s Wife, she felt no superiority over others and did not intend to break the rules using her privilege, setting an example so as not to undermine Han Yu’s authority over his subordinates in the future.

After hearing Su Wenyue’s words, the soldier felt grateful and then admiring. She was truly different from the typical Wife of an Official—lacking any sense of arrogance or superiority. She had generously pardoned him and even followed the camp’s rules. This way, he would not be placed in a difficult position.

“Yes, I will report immediately,” said the soldier, who then rushed toward Han Yu’s tent, not daring to delay even for a moment, for fear of causing further trouble.

When the soldier arrived, Han Yu had just taken his medicine and fallen asleep. Fortunately, Zhai Li was there, so he didn’t allow the soldier to disturb Han Yu but personally went to the camp entrance to welcome Su Wenyue.

“I greet you, Madam. The General has injuries and just took his medicine to sleep. Following the doctor’s prior advice, I didn’t wake the General. I hope you won’t blame me,” Zhai Li said, knowing in his heart that Su Wenyue wouldn’t place blame, but still felt it was necessary to make things clear to avoid any misunderstanding.

Su Wenyue naturally wouldn’t get angry about that: “You did the right thing; everything should prioritize my husband’s condition. Let’s not talk more now, quickly take me to him.”

Zhai Li, knowing the deep affection between Han Yu and Su Wenyue, understood her current feelings and nodded, then led her to Han Yu’s tent. Han Yu was in a deep sleep due to the sedative in his medicine, and didn’t notice Su Wenyue and the others entering, continuing to sleep soundly.

Han Yu was always a cautious man, constantly alert even when asleep at night, especially in the military camp where he rarely had such moments of vulnerability and defenselessness.

Looking at the man on the bed, his complexion pale and his figure noticeably thinner, Su Wenyue felt an indescribable heartache. Covering her mouth, tears fell, and she gently touched Han Yu’s facial contours with a touch of fascination.

Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Zhai Li hurriedly comforted her, knowing that if the General awoke and saw his wife so distressed, he would be all the more heartbroken: “Madam, don’t be sad. The General’s injury has already improved greatly. The doctor said that as long as he is well cared for, the General, with his strong constitution, will recover quickly. Moreover, it was Divine Doctor Mu who treated the General. You are aware of his medical skills; he will surely enable the General to recover well without any lingering issues.”
