Chapter 414: Chapter Four Hundred Twenty-One: Attempt to Persuade

Su Wenyue had not spoken up, feeling that it was not the right time to have an emotional outburst. Today, seeing Han Yu hesitate with an obvious air of concealment was a tipping point, and she exploded with emotion.

“Woo woo woo, why is my fate so miserable? I married such a heartless man who only thinks of his own grand ambitions and doesn’t care about his own wife and children. Besides, I, Su Wenyue, am just a merchant’s daughter; even if I have some beauty, what of it? I’m already like a flower from yesterday, and once you’re successful and renowned, what kind of woman can’t you have? Why would you still treasure someone like me? As for the children, you can just have them with another woman. You’re young and strong; you could easily have another dozen,” Su Wenyue wept as she spoke, becoming more impassioned as she went on, with no intention of holding back her grievances.

Han Yu had felt pity and heartache at first, but as he listened to the latter part, it started to sound a bit off. His mouth twitched. What did she mean by having a dozen? Did she think they were pigs? But then he thought about how fertile his daughter-in-law was—a tiny woman who managed to give birth to triplets in one go, something other women couldn’t boast about. Moreover, the children were so agile and smart that such luck seemed unique to his wife in Yiyang Prefecture. Coming back to himself, Han Yu’s thoughts began to wander amidst the emotional chaos.

Su Wenyue’s rant grew more vigorous, and seeing Han Yu space out as if he hadn’t heard a word she said, her face darkened. Damn it, during such a moment of distress, Han Yu was actually ignoring her. Initially, she just wanted to vent and make her husband understand her thoughts, but now it seemed she needed to teach him a lesson.

“Han Yu! What do you mean by this? Are you so annoyed that you can’t even listen to me speak? Fine, then!” Su Wenyue jabbed at Han Yu several times in frustration. The light punches didn’t hurt him, but they were enough to snap Han Yu out of his wayward thoughts.

Seeing his daughter-in-law glaring at him in anger, Han Yu knew he had messed up. He’d never intended it, it was just that his wife’s words stirred such wild imaginations. Having finally relaxed, his thoughts had wandered off course, but now he faced his wife’s inevitable wrath.

“Daughter-in-law, don’t be angry, you’ve misunderstood. I…” Han Yu began, momentarily at a loss for words, since he couldn’t actually divulge his bizarre thoughts to his wife.

“Misunderstood what? Do you take me for a fool who can’t see that you just don’t want to deal with me? I, Su Wenyue, am not so shameless. If you truly don’t want to bother with me anymore, just say it outright. I will take the child and leave for the field right away. But before that, give me the divorce papers. Afterward, we will have nothing to do with each other.”

Hearing Su Wenyue mention leaving for the field, Han Yu’s eyelids twitched, considering the feasibility of the situation. However, hearing her latter statement, he retracted any such thoughts, his heart sinking.

Ever since Han Yu had taught Su Wenyue a ‘deep’ lesson with his actions, even though she had her petty moments while quarreling with him, she always steered clear of sensitive topics. This time, saying such words made him realize this was not just simple anger—it was more serious than he had imagined.
