Chapter 384: Chapter 391: To See Clearly
Han Yu said this because Liu Xiu was now relying on him a great deal. Unlike Su Wenyue, who knew about the previous life, the current Liu Xiu was just starting out, and everything was still challenging. Han Yu’s help was merely based on his respect for Liu Xiu’s character and the status of the Liu Family’s imperial descendants. In fact, in some respects, Han Yu’s achievements had surpassed those of Liu Xiu. Speaking this way was not so much about following Liu Xiu as it was about a partnership between equals.
Seeing Han Yu like this, Su Wenyue knew he didn’t take the matter to heart, probably feeling a frivolous woman was not worth the concern. Such a mindset was problematic. Even if Liu Xiu didn’t truly care for Chen Li and was merely using her, he would never tolerate his woman being involved with other men. This was a matter of a man’s dignity. Although Liu Xiu wouldn’t confront Han Yu over various reasons right now, he would remember this issue. Before gaining power, it might be fine, but once he came into power, this matter would become a fuse buried underground, ready to ignite at the slightest provocation, and the outcome would be predictable.
“It’s precisely because he’s a ‘Smart Person’ that he’s even more terrifying. Such a person might hide their dissatisfaction for the sake of a greater cause. Ask yourself, would you be comfortable if your woman had a past entanglement with another man?” Su Wenyue argued, recalling the unpleasant experience related to the ‘Colorful exquisite lamp’. The incident was left unresolved due to Han Yu suddenly leaving and then many things happening afterward.
“Those who seek great achievements must not get bogged down in trivial matters. Brother Liu has enough breadth of mind and won’t hold a grudge for such things,” Han Yu said, with a hint of hesitation in his voice, evidently not entirely convinced and uncomfortable with Su Wenyue’s comparison.
“Are you really sure? If so, then I won’t say any more,” Su Wenyue said, noticing the hesitation in Han Yu and raising an eyebrow.
Sighing in resignation, Han Yu replied, “Daughter-in-law, it was my oversight. I didn’t pay attention to these details. I’ll be more careful in the future. But daughter-in-law, you seem to hold Brother Liu in high regard. I’m afraid he will have great fortune in the future.”
As a man with a keen political sense, Han Yu immediately perceived something different in Su Wenyue’s attitude. He hadn’t forgotten how she once risked saving Liu Xiu. Knowing his daughter-in-law and aware that she had no prior involvement with Liu Xiu yet risked so much to save him, it was clear to him there was something significant there, especially now that he knew about Su Wenyue’s rebirth, which affirmed certain of his thoughts.
“Husband, you are very clever. Liu Xiu is no ordinary person. Although he now seems ordinary and has no great achievements, even lesser than you, he ends up the final winner, reaching the highest position and becoming the ‘Supreme Ruler’. Therefore, you must be particularly cautious around him. That said, if you have other plans, that’s a different matter.”
Because of her rebirth, many things had changed in this life. In the previous life, Han Yu was still on the front lines battling for merit at this time, but in this life, his starting point was much higher. If Han Yu genuinely wanted to vie for that position, he stood a chance. Although Su Wenyue didn’t exactly want Han Yu to compete, if he had that ambition, she would support him. Her mindset now differed from the past; she had come to terms with a lot more.
Han Yu paused, feeling a jolt even though he knew Liu Xiu would achieve greatness, upon hearing Su Wenyue’s words. He always had a high regard for Liu Xiu, believing the man’s character and all aspects to be commendable, but hadn’t anticipated Liu Xiu rising to such heights, nor Su Wenyue’s implications.
