Chapter 263: Chapter 271: The Cat with Exploding Fur

“So what exactly did you send her off to do?” Han Yu had already guessed pretty close to the truth, but he was willing to indulge his daughter-in-law’s little triumph, so he very obediently asked.

“I had her go buy a Zhuangzi, and she did it posing as an unknown businessman. It’s outside of the prefecture, on a different side from our Zhuangzis, and even by horse carriage, it’s nearly two hours away. No one can connect this Zhuangzi to either the Han Family or the Su Family. I arranged for Zhai Li and the others to stay there. How about that, pretty foresighted of me, huh?” Su Wenyue said with a gleeful smile, her pride unmistakable on her face.

To Han Yu, Su Wenyue at that moment resembled a haughty little cat, head held high with self-satisfaction. He wanted to do just one thing, to stroke her fur, so his large palm reached out to Su Wenyue’s head, caressing her soft, smooth hair. He felt utterly content, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

“Indeed, very foresighted, but how did you even think to buy a Zhuangzi there?” Han Yu was genuinely curious. Anyone else might not have thought to do so, and if they did buy a Zhuangzi, they’d likely choose a location closer for convenience. This piqued his curiosity and bafflement. Was there something extraordinary about that Zhuangzi?

Yet, what Han Yu didn’t expect was that he’d actually guessed right, although Su Wenyue didn’t immediately respond and instead decided to keep him in suspense.

“How did I think of it? Obviously, because I’m smart and have great foresight, what else?” Su Wenyue’s reply left Han Yu a bit choked up. This incorrigible little thing… But her mention of ‘great foresight’ gave Han Yu a subtle feeling, just like the time Su Wenyue talked about her “previous life” during childbirth. He hadn’t forgotten, just kept it hidden deep in his heart.

Seeing the helpless and slightly annoyed look on Han Yu, Su Wenyue covered her mouth with a laugh, blinked her eyes, and said, “I’m serious, I am naturally smart and indeed very foresighted. And this Zhuangzi is really out of the ordinary, it will certainly give you a huge surprise.”

“Out of the ordinary, in what way?” Han Yu’s curiosity intensified. If his daughter-in-law said it was out of the ordinary, then it must truly be unusual, especially since what seemed extraordinary to others often seemed commonplace to her.

“You’ll find out when we get there. Anyway, I promise you won’t be disappointed,” Su Wenyue said mysteriously. Often kept in suspense by Han Yu, this time she wanted to turn the tables, giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Han Yu, however, had more patience than Su Wenyue and gave her a teasing look, “Alright then, I look forward to the surprise my daughter-in-law has for me.”

“Good, we’ll set off after lunch; it’s the perfect time to check how Zhai Li and the others are settling in.” Su Wenyue had only instructed Xiao Xi to handle it and hadn’t had the chance to visit in person, so she was looking forward to it. She wanted to see what Zhuangzi, once used by Sikong Ling as Xinye’s secret base, looked like.
