Chapter 310: Chapter 318: Deliberate Misinterpretation
My younger sister used to be quite a troublemaker, but ever since she married, she became a different person—every action she takes is for a reason. Even though I don’t understand what could possibly draw her attention to an obscure woman, I’ve decided to leave someone in Jiyang to continue looking for information about this woman.”
“Younger sister, do you have any other clues about this woman? It’s quite difficult to find someone in a big place like Jiyang with only the information at hand. Could this woman pose a threat to you in the future?” This was Su Hengyi’s main concern.
Su Wenyue felt warmth in her heart upon hearing Su Hengyi’s question. How fortunate she was to be born into such a loving family, pampered by her parents and cherished by her brother. Despite this, she didn’t want her brother to worry for nothing.
“This woman won’t pose a threat to me, but she’s a very formidable woman. Although she hasn’t shown her true capabilities yet, I don’t know if she’s intentionally hiding her sharp edges or if it’s for some other reason. I’m curious about her and want to keep an eye on the matter, so that’s why I asked my brother for help in gathering information about her. She might not be called Chen Li, but I’m certain her surname is Chen, and she’s around thirteen or fourteen years old.”
Su Wenyue spoke of her thus, yet Su Hengyi didn’t quite believe it. He hadn’t missed the complex expression that flashed across his sister’s face when she mentioned this woman—there had to be some reason behind it. Since she chose not to divulge, he didn’t press further, simply arranging for someone to find the woman sooner and keep an eye on her. If this woman dared to harm his younger sister, he would show no mercy.
“Rest assured, younger sister, if such a person exists, I’ll have someone continue the search. Sooner or later, we will find her. Don’t worry, just live your life in peace. I, as your big brother, won’t let anyone disturb you. If Han Yu dares to wrong you, no matter how high he might climb, I won’t let him off the hook,” Su Hengyi had clearly misunderstood. After all, Su Wenyue was asking him to find a seemingly harmless woman, but in some ways, his assumption wasn’t entirely unfounded, particularly since Su Wenyue was actually quite sick of the rumors about Han Yu and Noble Consort Li.
Hearing Su Hengyi say this, Su Wenyue’s lips twitched, but her heart was filled with warmth, “Big brother, don’t worry. Your younger sister isn’t useless. I’m searching for that woman for a different reason. If you find her, don’t mistreat her. As for Han Yu, if he ever does betray me, there’s no need for you to intervene; I won’t let him go easily myself. I’m quite formidable now!”
“That’s my sister! Truly worthy to be Su Hengyi’s sister, the daughter of the Su family. You should be confident. No matter what, you have the entire Su family to support you.” Su Hengyi was very satisfied with his younger sister’s current attitude. He had previously worried about her being too spoiled and not capturing her husband’s heart, then later feared that her being too virtuous might lead to mistreatment by her husband’s family. Now, hearing these words from her, Su Hengyi was even more reassured.
Su Hengyi then inquired about Su Wenyue’s recent affairs, and about the New Year: “This year, our family will also come to the prefecture city to celebrate the New Year, and we will stay there for a while, making it convenient for you when you come back, little sister.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wenyue’s face lit up with joy, “Big brother, is that true? Our family has always abided by the ancestral teachings to keep a low profile, and father and mother are accustomed to living in the countryside. Why suddenly plan to spend the New Year in the prefecture city? It wouldn’t be for my sake, would it?”
