Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: Chapter 381: Unwilling to Suffer a Loss (2/2)

Exactly, it was an act. A thought flashed through Su Wenyue’s mind. Initially, it was just a guess, but now she was increasingly convinced; Han Yu would not perform this charade for her alone but for others watching. This realization made her instantly vigilant; there had to be a grave crisis that Han Yu was facing to compel him to communicate danger to her in such a way. She thus played along with Han Yu, because if acting was necessary, then they should do it convincingly.

“Han Yu, how can you say such things? How my father and big brother treated you, and now that you’ve been promoted you disown everything. You heartless creature, if you think I will tolerate this woman, you’re mistaken. As long as I am in Han Mansion for a day, this woman should not even dream of stepping foot inside!”

Upon hearing his daughter-in-law’s words, Han Yu knew that she had understood his intentions; otherwise, her response would have been different. Indeed, his daughter-in-law was clever. With his plan progressing and her cooperation, the weight on his heart lessened. Continuing with the charade, he spoke to Su Wenyue: “Don’t be ungrateful, woman. My decision is not something a woman like you can influence. If you can’t even tolerate concubines and mistresses, if you truly don’t wish to stay in the mansion, you’re welcome to pack up and leave for the Zhuangzi!”

There it was! As soon as Su Wenyue heard Han Yu’s words, she understood the purpose of this entire act. However, she could not fathom the extent of danger Han Yu was in, that he had to resort to such means to send her messages. Her mind raced with thoughts, but outwardly, she continued to play her role in accordance with Han Yu’s intentions.

“Fine, Han Yu, for a woman from the Brothel, you treat me like this. After all my devoted feelings for you, fine! You said it, don’t regret it later. I’ll leave now, make room in Han Mansion for you and this shameless woman!” Su Wenyue said, tears falling, her face a picture of grief and despair, her voice resolute.

Han Yu, knowing that his daughter-in-law had caught on and was only pretending, still felt an unbearable pang of sorrow, but he could only stand there coldly, seemingly indifferent.

Chi Feifei hadn’t expected the situation to develop to this extent and was overjoyed, being careful not to show any hint of it. Instead, she put on an innocent look while looking at Su Wenyue, hoping to add fuel to the fire: “Older Sister Su, don’t be like this. The Master actually values you. It’s common for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. You should get used to it, sister, and we’ll take care of the Master together.”

Seeing that Han Yu said nothing more, Su Wenyue knew there were no further instructions. With the situation so complex, she did not want to delay any longer and was eager to make arrangements, to ensure her family and child were settled safely so Han Yu could focus on his matters in peace. Thinking this way, she covered her face with her hands and pretended to leave, not knowing that Chi Feifei would make another move. This woman truly needed to be taught a lesson!

Su Wenyue had no intention of humiliating herself. Lifting her head and glaring furiously at Chi Feifei, she said, “You lowly woman, daring to steal my husband, you’ve bewitched him! I will not let you, this vixen, go unpunished.”

Su Wenyue moved to slap Chi Feifei, and Aunt Li and others stepped in to help Su Wenyue, dealing Chi Feifei an even harsher beating than before. Apart from Su Wenyue comprehending Han Yu’s intentions, Aunt Li and the rest believed that the Master was genuinely discarding the Madam for this fox, so they did not go easy on this shameless woman.

Seeing the actions of his daughter-in-law, Han Yu’s mouth twitched, his face straight, but his eyes twinkled with laughter. His daughter-in-law really knew how to ensure she didn’t get the short end of the stick. Watching Chi Feifei yelp under the beating without intervening, he waited until his daughter-in-law had vented enough before he slowly spoke, “Su Wenyue, that’s enough, this is not a place for you to misbehave.”
