Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Chapter 543: No Discussion (2/2)

Perhaps as a deliberate punishment, Divine Doctor Mu included some extremely bitter medicinal materials in the prescription this time, making Su Wenyue feel that in this life, one should offend anyone but a doctor—the bitterness was simply unbearable. With her having made the error first, and with Han Yu watching her closely, dodging the treatment was not an option. She had to grit her teeth and swallow the medicine, feeling bitterness throughout her entire body.

Han Yu enjoyed seeing Su Wenyue learning a lesson the hard way, though he knew Divine Doctor Mu did it intentionally, he didn’t object. Even though his daughter-in-law now acknowledged her mistake, she still needed to understand the consequences of wrongdoing in order to learn from it. After all, as harsh as the taste of the medicine was, it was beneficial.

“Husband, this medicine is just too bitter. How long do I have to keep taking it? I really can’t stand it.” Su Wenyue said with a troubled look, pitifully gazing at Han Yu, almost ready to shed tears, realizing that no matter what she went through, she could not change her aversion to bitterness and pain.

“The treatment is for three days, and you’ve already taken it for one; you still need to take it for two more days to consolidate the effects. Be good, finish your medicine. Recovering your health is more important than anything else, and the children want their mother to be healthy and return home.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wenyue pulled a long face, knowing she was set for another two days of suffering from such bitter medicine, she felt thoroughly awful: “Husband, you aren’t joking, right? I feel that I’ve already recovered, there’s no problem anymore. Didn’t Grandfather Mu say that food is the best medicine? Medicines are meant to be poison in thirds, so maybe we could just skip the…”

“No way, don’t even think about it. Doctor Mu has made it very clear, you must take the medicine for at least three days. When he comes back to check your pulse, if the effect isn’t achieved, you know what kind of person he is. If he loses his temper, don’t blame me for not warning you.” Han Yu felt that his influence over his daughter-in-law was waning, and to control her, he had to lean on Divine Doctor Mu’s authority.

Su Wenyue’s face fell completely: “Husband, can’t you plead with Grandfather Mu on my behalf? You know I’m most afraid of him, and yet you use him to scare me.”

“It’s your fault for being disobedient and sneaking foods you know you shouldn’t eat. Now you understand the consequences. Don’t even think about me pleading on your behalf. If you don’t learn from this, you’re likely to repeat the mistake. You used to tell the children that doing wrong comes with consequences, and I give you the same advice: Just take your medicine earnestly and drop any shrewd ideas, otherwise, not only will Doctor Mu not let you off, but I won’t spoil you either.”

“Husband, your heart is so hard! Are you really going to treat me this way, no room for discussion?” Su Wenyue shook Han Yu’s arm a little, with a hint of probing.

Han Yu firmly shook his head: “No room for discussion!”

Su Wenyue felt utterly disappointed; Han Yu being so firm meant he had resolved to discipline her thoroughly. Seeing that Han Yu was unswerving in his stance, she gave up on the idea of buttering him up and turned her head away in pique, “I’m tired now and want to rest, you better leave, stop bothering me. It’s not good for my recovery if I feel irritated seeing you. Go do whatever you need to do; nobody feels sorry for me anyway!”
