Chapter 333: Chapter 341: A Matter of Principle

“My Wife, you must remember, no one is more important than you. If you ever do something so reckless for my sake, putting your own safety aside, and something happens, I’ll never be at peace for the rest of my life. Even if I myself am in trouble, I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you.” Han Yu kissed Su Wenyue’s forehead and once again solemnly expressed his heartfelt words. He was moved by his Wife’s intentions, but he didn’t want such a thing to happen again.

“I understand, it won’t happen, actually I was counting on those Government Soldiers not doing anything to me, after all, I am part of an Official’s Family, and this way Qi Luo had a better chance of escaping with the others.” Su Wenyue deliberately said this to prevent Han Yu from knowing how dangerous it had been, but how could he, with his shrewdness, not understand? In these chaotic times, some Government Soldiers may wear the cloak of the Imperial Court, but their actions are even more atrocious than those of Bandits. Otherwise, why would My Wife have feigned a Heart Disease attack, fearing that Mr. Sun’s men might have harbored malicious intentions?

Han Yu thought about how his Wife had just been scared so badly and didn’t want to question her further. After all, he would find out once they got back; he carried her onto the horse carriage and they returned home.

“Husband, put me down. I can walk by myself. I am not injured, and there are so many people outside, it’s embarrassing,” Su Wenyue whispered in Han Yu’s ear. She was embarrassed to be carried by Han Yu, especially since she was perfectly fine, yet Han Yu insisted on carrying her and wouldn’t put her down, which left her feeling helpless.

“Isn’t that an injury on your neck?” Han Yu’s expression clearly showed he thought Su Wenyue was speaking nonsense.

“The wound on my neck is nothing serious, and besides, you walk with your Legs, not with a neck injury,” Su Wenyue responded with even more frustration, and a hint of scorn for Han Yu. As she spoke, she even shook her Legs to prove her point, but unfortunately, Han Yu had made up his mind, not swayed by her arguments. After much fuss, she was still tightly held by Han Yu.

“Behave and stop fussing. You’ve just had such a big fright; how can you walk on your own? You are My Wife, and it’s very normal for me to carry you; there’s nothing embarrassing about it.”

Han Yu spoke and then held her even tighter. Thinking of his Wife’s pale and weak appearance earlier, as if she could hardly catch her breath, he was still trembling inside and couldn’t calm down. Only by holding her in his arms could he feel the reality of her being safe; thus, he was determined not to let her down. He didn’t care one bit about embarrassment, let alone when holding his own Wife, it was just that his Wife was too modest.

Knowing that Han Yu had made up his mind, Su Wenyue just buried her head in his chest, seeing the crowd outside.

Without Su Wenyue’s company, Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang’s group lost their spirits, and besides having shopped all morning and having purchased quite a few things, they only learned of Su Wenyue’s incident once they got home and immediately asked what had happened.

There were some things Han Yu didn’t want or couldn’t explain in detail; he simply said that Su Wenyue had encountered bandits and been injured by them. Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang were both worried and wanted to come see Su Wenyue, but Han Yu stopped them. He knew his Daughter-in-law’s temperament, and besides, she needed to rest well after such a fright. In truth, Han Yu just wanted to spend some quiet time alone with his Wife, without anyone disturbing them.

At this time, Su Wenyue couldn’t rest easy, first going to check on the three little ones before waiting for Qi Luo’s news. Hopefully, Qi Luo was able to elude the Government Soldiers’ pursuit. Han Yu had already sent people to meet her, but he couldn’t be sure if they had found Qi Luo yet.

Han Yu saw his Wife’s behavior and felt helpless; his Wife was always one to worry.
