Chapter 346: Chapter 353: Not Much Time

Su Wenyue nodded, she had anticipated the situation with the Sun Family and made preparations early. Moreover, Han Yu, who normally didn’t let his emotions show, although he was more open and showed his better side in front of her, unwilling to make her worry, seemed truly disturbed this time. She had no idea what the Sun Family had done.

Seeing Han Yu like this and not willing to elaborate, obviously not wanting her to worry as well, Su Wenyue then brought up the matter of Feng Susu and her child.

“What? Daughter-in-law, are you saying that Feng Susu and her son are the wife and child that General An is looking for?!” Han Yu found it hard to believe. If it was true, and wielded properly, it could not only dissolve the current crisis and predicament but also help him secure his footing in the prefecture.

Han Yu’s situation in the military camp was indeed very difficult. Prime Minister Wang’s power overshadowed the court and bureaucracy, and Mr. Sun, his adversary, clung to Prime Minister Wang’s powerful position, constantly making things difficult for him, eager to get rid of him. Were it not for Yiyang Prefecture’s distance from Chang’an and Prime Minister Wang’s influence being less significant there, and the fact that Han Yu was in the military camp, outside of Prime Minister Wang’s full control, Han Yu could still find a slight breathing space.

“Indeed, I am almost certain of it. However, General An is no ordinary person. It wouldn’t be appropriate to rashly approach him; a misstep might lead General An to suspect our intentions, and that would be counterproductive. So, this matter still relies on your arrangement,” said Su Wenyue, aware that her only advantage was her experience from her previous life. In terms of intelligence and wisdom, she truly couldn’t compare to Han Yu, so it was more appropriate to leave such matters to him.

Han Yu didn’t ask how Su Wenyue had come to her discovery. There were things Su Wenyue didn’t mention, and Han Yu wouldn’t pry into them. In any case, he knew his daughter-in-law was looking out for his best interests, and he even suspected that she must have known of Feng Susu and her son’s status before taking them in.

“You’ve thought it through well, and indeed, we can’t act recklessly on this matter but need to find the right moment. But you have truly done me a huge favor this time. If handled well, this issue could alleviate the situation of our family as well, so we won’t have to struggle like we do now,” Han Yu now truly believed that his daughter-in-law brought him luck, as she always seemed to lead him to good fortune.

“I don’t know much about affairs outside, but I’m glad I can help you. Look how much weight you’ve lost recently. You need to take care of your health; no career is more important than your own well-being. We’re still young; there is no need to rush. Slowly does it. For someone your age to have achieved your current position through your own abilities is already remarkable,” said Su Wenyue, hoping only for her family to live in peace and safety. If it weren’t for knowing Han Yu’s ambition, she would’ve urged him not to push himself so hard. After all, what was there to fret over having gone through a lifetime again?

“Rest assured, I know my limits. Having stepped into this complicated circle, some matters cannot be resolved by my withdrawal alone. You needn’t worry about me; just take good care of yourself and our child.”

Seeing Han Yu say so, Su Wenyue refrained from further persuasion. In truth, they had no way back and could only move forward, or they would be trampled underfoot by their adversaries. They already had an unresolved issue with the Sun Family.

With the matter of Feng Susu and her child entrusted to Han Yu, Su Wenyue no longer concerned herself with it. The greenhouse on their Zhuangzi would soon yield a new batch of vegetables. This time there was a large quantity, too much for their own use, so she thought of renting a shop space because these fruits and vegetables, many of which were grown from foreign seeds, could definitely sell for a good price at this time of year compared to local produce.
