Chapter 334: Chapter 342: Profound and Solemn
“Daughter-in-law, I cannot agree to this matter. Qi Luo has not fulfilled her responsibilities, and punishment is warranted. I know you are kind-hearted, but without rules, there is no square or circle,” Han Yu spoke rather softly, but his meaning was unequivocally inflexible. It would be strange if Su Wenyue would agree.
“What rules and not rules? Qi Luo is my person, and it is the rule that she listens to my words. Her duty is to work for me. I will not listen to your flawed reasoning. You are not allowed to take Qi Luo away, otherwise, I’ll never let this go!” Su Wenyue also had her own principles, and since she had said that she would take responsibility for this matter, she would not go back on her word.
The conflict of principles between the two, Han Yu found his wife’s rarely assertive attitude both adorable and vexing, but mostly he felt helpless. If his wife were to reason, he could come up with countless arguments to convince her, but if his wife was unwilling to reason…
Han Yu did not argue about this with his wife. He had seen his wife’s stubbornness and knew that it would be inappropriate to damage their feelings over this. However, naturally, Han Yu was not going to give up so easily. On issues of principle, especially concerning his wife’s personal safety, there was no possibility for compromise. His gaze then turned to Qi Luo who was standing aside.
“Daughter-in-law, how about we do this? Since we both have conflicting opinions, and we each have our own principles, let’s let Qi Luo decide for herself. If she also believes that she has done nothing wrong, then I will no longer pursue this matter,” Han Yu proposed. His seemingly calm words were loaded with many implications, and just one look from him sent shivers down Qi Luo’s spine.
Su Wenyue was prepared for a good fight with Han Yu, but she didn’t expect Han Yu to shift the battlefield, turning his spearhead towards Qi Luo. She cursed Han Yu for his nastiness in her heart, as Qi Luo would never dare to go against Han Yu’s wishes: “That’s not fair, you’re cheating. How can Qi Luo dare to disobey you?”
“Indeed, only you would dare to do so. If it were anyone else, they would have been dealt with by me long ago.” Han Yu habitually stroked Su Wenyue’s head, subtly changing the topic.
However, what kind of person was Su Wenyue? Although there had been times when Han Yu had managed to fool her in the past, those were definitely only a minority of occasions. Any slight differences in intellect, most of the time, were Su Wenyue deliberately feigning ignorance despite being aware. Now that she had made up her mind, she would not be confused by Han Yu.
“Don’t change the subject. Qi Luo is my person now. Only I can command her; no one else has the right to interfere, not even you!”
Qi Luo saw that the two masters almost started arguing over her, and she felt grateful that the Madam spoke up for her. Regardless of whether she was actually at fault or not, it was not worth causing a rift between her masters over her. Besides, she knew the Master’s temperament. If he really set his mind on dealing with her, there was no escaping. It was better to admit her mistake voluntarily and possibly earn forgiveness. Thus, she fell to her knees with a thud.
“Thank you, Madam, for holding me in such high regard, but the fault is indeed mine, and I am willing to accept the punishment!”
“Go then.” Han Yu nodded, apparently satisfied with Qi Luo’s response. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome for him to punish Qi Luo given his wife’s rare firm stance.
“No, wait…” Before Su Wenyue could finish, Qi Luo had already left. Su Wenyue glared fiercely at Han Yu, resolute that if he did not give her an explanation, she would not let the matter rest.
