Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 556: The Only Way Out (2/2)

perhaps her rebirth was the reason. in this lifetime, han yu rose to prominence much earlier and achieved more than liu xiu, which might have sparked liu xiu’s jealousy. this time, liu xiu had merely refrained from calling han yu back, but who knew what could happen in the future if someone instigated trouble or a new situation arose? liu xiu might decide to get rid of han yu swiftly.

now, su wenyue was beginning to understand that the matters of the world, as determined by fate, could go either way. for her, being reborn was a blessing from the heavens, giving her a new chance at life. however, for han yu, because of her changes, a series of events had shifted, leading to a crisis that, if not resolved, would endanger not just han yu but their entire family.

“what should we do, how can we resolve the current crisis?” su wenyue pondered, unintentionally voicing her thoughts.

“madam, what did you say?” the servant girl asked carefully, not having heard su wenyue clearly due to her soft voice.

realizing she had spoken her mind without intending to when the servant girl questioned her, su wenyue shook her head: “it’s nothing, help me get ready.”

clearing her mind, su wenyue set aside her worries for the moment. her rebirth had altered the original trajectory of events for the worse, but since the crisis wasn’t immediate, she could afford to ignore it temporarily. she’d plan to discuss with han yu later on about what steps to take next.

“where are they? please take me there.”

after tidying up and having eaten, su wenyue checked on her three children before heading towards where han yu was. she had many things she wanted to find out. it had been too late the night before to ask, but now was a good time to seek clarity, not to mention she needed to find out how her big brother and uncle managed to escape from chang’an; she had been quite worried for them at the time.

upon seeing su wenyue arriving, everyone in the study room who had been talking stopped and looked at her.

han yu watched his daughter-in-law, his expression, which had seemed cold, growing warmer. su wenyue was different; in front of others, even including her father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law, han yu always maintained a stern demeanor—a matter of habit.

“daughter-in-law, you’ve come,” han yu called out to her. just as he was about to go to her, he saw a figure flash by her, and someone got to her first.

han yu was somewhat unable to accept that someone snatched his daughter-in-law right in front of him. he stopped in his tracks and silently watched his brother-in-law’s excited demeanor. although part of him was discontent, he ultimately held back.

let it go, he thought; after what his wife had been through, considering his brother-in-law’s degree of adoration for his sister, his reaction was not unexpected. han yu decided not to take issue with his brother-in-law. in his heart, begrudgingly admitting that even if he wanted to, he couldn’t do much about it—if it were anyone else, he could have proudly reclaimed his wife, but this was his brother-in-law!
