Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: Chapter 388: You’re Back (2/2)
Before meeting Chen Li, Su Wenyue admired this woman due to the reputation of Noble Consort Li from her previous life, and in this life, she actually owed many things to Noble Consort Li, even harboring some gratitude and awe. But now, seeing her as a woman who coveted her husband, and considering that without the halo of Noble Consort Li, Chen Li was just an ordinary girl from a small household with a bit more arrogance and unconventional behavior than ordinary people, she didn’t seem very different.
“That sounds good. Then I’ll take my leave for now. Please take good care of Big Brother Han, Madam. I would have liked to stay to care for him myself, but Big Brother Han is considerate and afraid I might tire myself out. Now that you, Madam, have returned, it’s just perfect.” Before Chen Li left, she couldn’t resist showing off her ‘intimate’ relationship with Han Yu once more.
No one likes their man having a relationship with another woman, and Su Wenyue worked hard to restrain her anger. Inwardly, she decided to thoroughly question Han Yu about his relationship with this woman later. She was able to withstand this because in her previous life, Chen Li had become Liu Xiu’s woman.
Chi Feifei, standing to the side, was quite shocked by the harmonious conversation between Su Wenyue and Chen Li, almost dropping her jaw. This development didn’t feel quite right. Given Mrs. Su’s fierceness, shouldn’t she have seized the opportunity to give Chen Li a good scolding? After all, Chi Feifei herself had been severely dealt with by Mrs. Su in the past, and she was waiting to see Chen Li’s embarrassment. But the two had only a verbal skirmish. Could it be because of Chen Li’s good attitude that Mrs. Su let her off the hook?
No matter what guesses were churning in her mind, Chi Feifei didn’t dare to get closer. She stayed obediently to the side, doing her best to remain unnoticed by Su Wenyue. It was only after Su Wenyue entered the mansion and disappeared from her line of sight that Chi Feifei let out a sigh of relief.
As Su Wenyue moved inside, she inquired the housekeeper about the situation at home. Knowing how severely injured Han Yu was, her heart grew even more anxious. When she arrived at the room, Han Yu had already taken his medicine and fallen asleep, so her many thoughts had to remain in her heart for now, as she adoringly gazed at Han Yu.
After more than a year of not seeing him, Su Wenyue watchfully looked at the person lying quietly on the bed, and all her anger and blame dissipated. She sat anxiously by his side, touching Han Yu’s face, which had become darker and thinner than before.
“Daughter-in-law, you’re back.”
Upon waking, Han Yu immediately noticed a different air in the room. As he came to his senses, seeing Su Wenyue asleep by his side, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a touch of tenderness spread across his face.
“Husband, you’re awake. How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?” Su Wenyue asked with concern, and Han Yu answered each question, basking in his daughter-in-law’s care.
During the year apart, he had missed his wife and child terribly. His initial plan was to bring them back once Yiyang Prefecture was conquered. Unfortunately, he suffered serious injuries and, not wanting to worry his wife and considering the situation had only recently stabilized, there were still many uncertain elements. This is why he had delayed their return. He hadn’t expected that his wife would get the news and rush over. Knowing that she had learned of his injury, she must have been terribly worried?
“Don’t worry, daughter-in-law, I am quite well. When did you arrive, and where are the children?”
