Chapter 398: Chapter 405: Not a Great Deal

Han Yu had obviously noticed the floor mirror as well. The position of the floor mirror was too conspicuous; anyone ascending the stairs couldn’t miss it. If it were any other item, it might have gone unnoticed, but a floor mirror was a rare object capable of reflecting one’s image with great clarity, no longer leaving behind a blurred impression. Especially such a large one, it could be considered worth a fortune. Throughout the entire Daming Dynasty, there were only a few, and it was hard for one not to take note. Only Master Su could be so generous as to gift this to his daughter as a present for opening her store.

“Did you come up with this mirror too?” Han Yu asked in disbelief. Other items were understandable, but a mirror couldn’t be made without a formula; it would be truly unexpected and astonishing if it had been his daughter-in-law who had created it.

“Of course not. There you go underestimating me again, and now you’re overestimating me. Where would I get that kind of ability? It was my father who got it from a businessman in the outer domain, and it cost a substantial sum. Only because I’m his precious daughter was he willing to give me something so valuable. Originally, it was meant for my daily dressing and grooming, but I felt that would be an underutilization. So here it is, moved to the store instead. Wouldn’t that make it far more useful?” Su Wenyue thought she was incredibly smart for knowing how to make the most of things. With this mirror, the store’s class had risen a notch higher, and one could go around Yiyang City and see which other store was as luxurious and extravagant as hers.

Han Yu, having heard this, felt that such was indeed sensible, otherwise he really wouldn’t have known how to react. He felt even more moved by his father-in-law’s affection for his daughter-in-law, exclaiming once again, “Your father-in-law really dotes on you a lot.”

“That’s my real dad, if he doesn’t dote on me, then who should he dote on? Father has always been the most affectionate towards me since I was young. In my father’s words, ‘a daughter is meant to be cherished’, and Elder Brother has always been accommodating to me,” Su Wenyue said with deep emotion and a hint of guilt when she mentioned her family.

Listening to Su Wenyue talk like this, Han Yu was thankful towards his father-in-law and Eldest Brother-in-law. Although they both helped him with significant matters, they often made things difficult for him on ordinary days. Han Yu was somewhat displeased, but now that he had experienced the affections his wife’s family had for her, he could understand the feelings of the father and brother-in-law whose daughter had been taken away. Especially now that he had a daughter himself, the thought of his soft and tender daughter being taken away by some unknown man ignited a flame of anger in his heart. He realized that to this day, his wife’s family had been quite polite to him.

“My dear, rest assured that we’ll take good care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future,” Han Yu stated, unable to express more, his gratitude lingering in his heart. In fact, not just now, but also this very time when he led the uprising, although his mother’s family ostensibly appeared to sever ties with him, they had been discreetly taking risks to support him, and had provided him considerable help. Without it, his own efforts wouldn’t have gone as smoothly.

Seeing Han Yu show such an attitude made Su Wenyue quite happy. As long as he was aware of what her parents had done for Han Yu, that was enough. Besides, Han Yu was someone who never spoke insincerely. Since he had made such a gesture, he would surely be good to her mother’s family in the future.

“As long as you know, let’s not discuss this anymore. Help me see if there are any deficiencies in the place, give me some suggestions,” Su Wenyue wisely chose not to belabor the point. Bringing up certain matters too often might generate resentment, so she switched topics.

Seeing Su Wenyue change the subject like this, Han Yu did not shirk but earnestly took a look around, offering several suggestions, particularly about the counter area. Su Wenyue had designed it based on her memories of her past life, making it open so guests could freely pick up and look at items.

“It would be better to make this area closed off.”
