Chapter 363: Chapter 370: The Legend of Eternal Youth
When Su Wenyue heard it was Sikong Ling, although not very surprised, her expression still subtly changed. Although that was something from her previous life, every time Han Yu faced Sikong Ling, Su Wenyue always felt somewhat guilty inside. She was also afraid that Sikong Ling would affect her current life. Even though Sikong Ling hadn’t made a move since that incident and hadn’t targeted her again, Su Wenyue knew him too well to let her guard down.
Seeing the change in Su Wenyue’s expression, the servant thought she was worried and cleverly said, “Madam, rest assured. When I came over, I saw the Master and Young Master Sikong discussing matters. Everything seemed to be in order. If you’re worried, I can go over again and find out more. If there’s any news, I will immediately come and report to you.”
Su Wenyue knew the servant had misunderstood, but it was for the best. “That would be good, keep an eye on them for me, and report back if there’s anything.”
With Su Wenyue’s approval, the servant accepted the order and dashed to the front, eager to please Madam. With good performance, there would be prospects for the future.
Su Wenyue was getting a bit sleepy from waiting. She went to check on the three little ones in the other room and after a long while, Han Yu finally returned to the room, looking indifferent. Su Wenyue couldn’t tell anything so she had to beat around the bush to find out.
“Husband, how did it go with the affair of the Colorful Exquisite Lamp? Have you negotiated properly with the guests?” Su Wenyue spoke very cautiously, deliberately not mentioning Sikong Ling, remembering Han Yu’s jealousy, especially since Sikong Ling had targeted her before. Han Yu had said he did not want to hear the names of other men from her lips.
Han Yu glanced at his wife indifferently, clearly seeing through her little schemes. Just now in the Living Room, the Servant was sneaking around outside, unnoticed by him. Had it been anyone else, he would’ve had them thrown out immediately, but knowing the Servant was sent by his wife, he let it be. If his wife would say she didn’t know the guest was Sikong Ling, Han Yu certainly wouldn’t believe it. However, he was pleased with his wife’s attitude, at least showing she took his words seriously.
“Wife, why are you looking at me like that?” Su Wenyue felt even more self-conscious under Han Yu’s gaze due to her own feelings of guilt.
“My Wife, do you truly not know who that supposed guest is? I thought the snooping Servant outside the door was sent by you, which is why I didn’t react. Now it seems the little guy may have ill intentions, might even be a spy sent by someone else. We need to interrogate him thoroughly and not let him off easily,” Han Yu said, smiling yet not smiling. Although he was happy that his wife took his words to heart, he didn’t want to indulge her habit of lying.
Having heard Han Yu’s words, Su Wenyue knew she had given herself away. Indeed, how could such a shrewd man like Han Yu not see through her, besides, her dealings with Sikong Ling were affairs of a previous life, and in this life, she hadn’t done anything to feel guilty about, so why hide her thoughts? It only served to arouse suspicion.
Once she saw this clearly, Su Wenyue felt much more at ease and met Han Yu’s gaze, “The servant was sent by me. I was just worried. I knew who the guest was, of course. But I was afraid someone would get jealous for no reason. That jealousy, it’s as intense as a large vat of vinegar.”
Han Yu didn’t expect his wife to counter so quickly, turning the tables and making it seem like he was at fault. He had intended to tease his wife a bit, but when it came to Sikong Ling, he couldn’t feel good about it.
“Hmph, do you think I, your husband, am the petty, jealous type? It’s Sikong Ling who is up to no good, definitely not a good person!”
