Chapter 529: Chapter 536: Truly Convinced
Sikong Ling saw Su Wenyue’s little actions and also curled the corners of his mouth upward, feeling exceptionally pleased. Speaking of which, there were many people in his backyard of all sorts, yet no one could make him feel this way. Even without involving romantic entanglements, he felt content and happy just casually interacting with her.
Since Sikong Ling had found Su Wenyue, he naturally wouldn’t let her wander around outside recklessly. Besides, Su Wenyue had been out for quite some time; it was about time for her to go back to her room to rest. Given Su Wenyue’s delicate constitution,
Sikong Ling accompanied Su Wenyue all the way back to the courtyard. As he was leaving, Su Wenyue threatened him, “Hey, don’t tell Han Yu about what happened just now. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you.”
Unaffected by Su Wenyue’s baseless threat, Sikong Ling raised an eyebrow, “This seems like you’re asking me for a favor, though your way of requesting help really isn’t much to speak of. What, are you afraid Han Yu will come back and settle the score with you?”
Sikong Ling knew that Han Yu, out of concern for Su Wenyue’s health, had kept her confined in the house for a while. Although he had recently relaxed the restrictions and allowed Su Wenyue to get some fresh air, if he knew she had acted so recklessly, he would definitely be angry. Speaking of which, Han Yu did have quite a skillset for training his wife, doting on her to an unbelievable degree, yet managing to discipline her so thoroughly.
“Who said that? I just hate trouble, that’s all. So will you promise or not?” Su Wenyue said somewhat uncomfortably. She really was somewhat afraid of Han Yu finding out. It wasn’t that Han Yu would do anything to her—after all, what was done was done—he would just keep lecturing her, giving her a headache. That’s why she specifically chose the time when Han Yu went with Divine Doctor Mu to the Back Mountain to gather herbs to come out.
“All right, I won’t mention it, being afraid of your husband isn’t something too shameful, there’s no need to hide it,” Sikong Ling said. Somehow, his words seemed to carry a hint of sourness.
Having received a positive response from Sikong Ling, Su Wenyue didn’t pretend to be courteous anymore and directly sent him away, leaving Sikong Ling feeling a chill in his heart.
That evening, when Han Yu came back, his face seemed no different than usual, but Su Wenyue still noticed something off from his small gestures. Han Yu said he went to the Back Mountain to accompany Divine Doctor Mu in gathering herbs, but Su Wenyue knew the real purpose of his trip.
“Husband, did the matter at the Back Mountain not go smoothly?” Su Wenyue asked directly, knowing that if Han Yu didn’t want to worry her, he definitely wouldn’t mention it.
Han Yu indeed felt a bit irritated. He had originally planned well, having found a path out of the valley in the Back Mountain after much difficulty. However, when he went to investigate in person today, he discovered that the path was impassable. While the path did lead outside the mountain, a perilous cliff stood in the middle. If it were just him, it might be feasible to take a risk and make it across, but not with his wife in tow. He would not want her to take any risks; he had only just managed to save her and preferred to keep her safe and sound.
