Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 386: Guaranteed Genuine (2/2)

Su Wenyue saw a man coming out of the Han Mansion. At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but as he came closer, she realized that this supposed man was actually a woman in disguise, which made her feel differently. She wondered about this person’s identity and why she would be here, just as the woman approached them.

Qi Luo was dissatisfied with Chen Li’s questioning tone. No matter their status, even ordinary people deserved better treatment, a sense of politeness that was utterly lacking here. However, it wasn’t surprising, Qi Luo thought, as a woman who would dress as a man and casually appear at someone’s mansion would naturally not have the best upbringing. Who knew where she came from.

“And who might you be, to question us?” Qi Luo retorted sharply, unhesitatingly confronting Chen Li. She hoped in her heart that the Master hadn’t done anything to wrong his wife. It would be a truly grievous ungratefulness if that were the case. The Mistress had spent more than a year hiding away in such a remote place, raising three children without a word of complaint. Now, hearing of the Master’s injury, she had hurried over without proper rest, a clear sign of her concern for the Master.

“Impudent! How dare you create such a scene at the Han Mansion. Do not think you can win Lord Han’s favor just because of your looks. You’re truly shameless, luring a man even here.” Seeing Su Wenyue and her servant’s unfriendly attitudes, Chen Li became even more provoked, automatically projecting her own thoughts onto Su Wenyue, as if she too was vying for Han Yu’s attention. Chen Li didn’t consider that in this strict era, not every woman would be as untraditional as her, disregarding everything in pursuit of a man.

Su Wenyue was amused by anger. Where did this ridiculous woman come from? Was she out of her mind? However, listening to her, Su Wenyue had some understanding. This woman must have taken a liking to Han Yu; otherwise, she wouldn’t speak such words. But what exactly was this woman’s relationship to Han Yu? Since the soldiers let her in, she surely had Han Yu’s permission.

Hearing this, Qi Luo looked at Chen Li with even stranger eyes, her gaze towards the city mixing a tinge of sympathy. This woman must have lost her mind.

“Want to know who I am?” Su Wenyue raised an eyebrow, seeing that the woman was about to burst, and then slowly drawled, “I am Su Wenyue, the Mistress of this Han Mansion. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

“You are Su Wenyue?!” Chen Li’s voice rose sharply. Since she was interested in Han Yu, she had naturally inquired about everything regarding him and knew that he had a wife, who turned out to be the woman in front of her.

“That is correct, guaranteed genuine. As the saying goes, it’s only polite to return a favor. Now, Miss, could you please tell me your identity? I’ve been away for quite some time and don’t recognize the people around my Husband anymore. Are you perhaps one of my Husband’s new subordinates or servants?” Su Wenyue said with a grin, enjoying the increasingly unpleasing expression on Chen Li’s face, deliberately provoking her.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m certainly not a servant!” Chen Li’s already unsightly complexion turned utterly dark, and her face twisted as she felt insulted by Su Wenyue. Although from the modern world, proclaiming equality and human rights, she believed herself to be superior, bolstered by the halo of being a transmigrated individual.

“I apologize. I thought that a proper young lady wouldn’t behave in such a manner. Seeing you here made me speculate as such. Please, don’t take it the wrong way,” Su Wenyue said as if realizing she’d said something incorrect. She quickly apologized, yet without a trace of sincerity, simply fueling Chen Li’s irritation.

“You say you are Han Yu’s wife, just like that? I have never seen you before. Who knows where this wild woman sprang from, or if she’s an impostor,” Chen Li, unwilling to back down, started to question Su Wenyue’s identity again, unwilling to believe that this infuriating woman was Han Yu’s wife.
