Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Chapter 551: You Must Obey (2/2)

The steward heard this but didn’t dare to argue, thinking to himself, “With your status, the Young Master wouldn’t do anything to you, but for us, it would be a disaster. The Young Master’s methods are sharp, even more formidable than the old valley master’s. Everyone in the valley fears him.”

“Husband, how much longer until we arrive?” After leaving Peach Blossom Valley, Su Wenyue’s heart was set on reaching Feng Family Manor as soon as possible to see her child. She had lost count of how many times she had asked, her yearning for her child overwhelmingly intense.

Han Yu was somewhat helpless but also a bit jealous. Indeed, once there was a child, his own position in his wife’s heart plummeted. Along the way, his wife was only thinking of the child, utterly ignoring him. However, seeing the anxious look on his wife’s face, he had to suppress his discontented thoughts. After all, it was his child. Since Han Yu had hurried over from Yiyang Prefecture, he had gone directly to his wife and was informed about the child’s condition only through messages from below. It had been a while since he had seen the child—what did the child look like now?

“Wife, don’t worry. Since we’ve left Peach Blossom Valley, the children are safe and well at Feng Family Manor. Even if we want to see them, it won’t make a difference in such a short time. We’ll stay in the town ahead for the night, and by tomorrow morning, after a morning’s journey, we will arrive,” Han Yu said, considering Su Wenyue’s health as they hadn’t been traveling very fast.

“I think we shouldn’t stay in the town tonight. It’s only a morning’s journey left. If we hurry the horse carriage along, we can reach Feng Family Manor today without delaying another night,” Su Wenyue argued, her mind fixed on her child and unwilling to waste another night when it could be spent on the road.

“Wife, it’s only a morning’s journey—we’re not short of this half-day. You’ll wear yourself out with this long journey, and the children wouldn’t be at ease knowing you’ve exhausted yourself for their sake,” Han Yu knew that other reasons wouldn’t persuade his wife, so he had to use the children as a leverage.

“I won’t. I know my own body. I’m feeling spirited right now. I’m not walking—it’s a ride in the horse carriage, which is comfortably lined with two thick layers of cotton batting. It doesn’t feel taxing at all. How could just one night wear me down?”

“Wife, you need to be obedient!” Han Yu’s face had already darkened.

Su Wenyue wasn’t afraid of Han Yu’s stern look. The prospect of seeing her child sooner was more important than his displeasure. Besides, Han Yu would only put on a stern face, not actually punish her. “Husband, you know my nature. Even if we stopped at the town for the night, I wouldn’t sleep well thinking of the child. Tossing and turning or traveling, I’d rather hurry on the road and get to Feng Family Manor quickly. Seeing the child will give me peace of mind, and I can rest properly then.”

Su Wenyue was exceptionally stubborn about this matter. Despite Han Yu’s persuasion, his words had no effect, and in the end, he had to compromise and continue traveling according to Su Wenyue’s wishes.

Han Yu understood in his heart. His wife’s eagerness to see the child meant that even if he insisted on staying in the town to rest, she wouldn’t be able to sleep. It was indeed better to arrive at Feng Family Manor earlier. They could rest assured after seeing the child. With Divine Doctor Mu’s recent care and the comfort of the carriage, the journey wouldn’t be too exhausting for his wife.
