Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 262: The Only Belief (2/2)

“But Master, how should we find you? Going to the military camp is clearly inappropriate, and we have nowhere to stay. We have only managed to evade pursuit because we were hiding in the stronghold.” Zhai Li said, troubled, not wanting to cause trouble for Master right from the start, but they had no choice.

Han Yu had considered what Zhai Li said and pulled out a sachet from his bosom, handing it to Zhai Li: “Take this sachet and go to the address I’ve mentioned. Someone will be there to arrange things for you, but be sure to be cautious and make certain no one is following you, and seek the place when the night is deep and no one is paying attention.”

The address Han Yu gave was actually his home in Xinluo Town. To be cautious, Han Yu did not want to involve Su Wenyue, but just like Zhai Li said, they didn’t have a place to stay, and it wasn’t safe to reside in an inn where they might be discovered. Apart from his daughter-in-law, Han Yu trusted no one else with this matter.

Zhai Li memorized the address, and Han Yu added: “That’s my home address. Once you get there, someone will take you to meet My Wife. Tell her your situation, she has good judgment and will know how to make arrangements for you.”

Although Han Yu often mocked Su Wenyue for her simplicity, he was well aware that his daughter-in-law had plans of her own. Even if she appeared foolish, it was only because she chose not to ponder over some matters, out of laziness. In crucial times, however, she was reliable and utterly loyal to him, sharing both their interests and their honors and disgraces.

Hearing that the address given by Han Yu was his own home, Zhai Li and the others were shaken; such a level of trust to give them his home address filled them with even greater gratitude.

“Do not overthink it. I choose to believe in you, and by giving you my home address, I trust that the disciples raised by the Major Martial Arts Families are upstanding and responsible, not ungrateful wretches. Otherwise, the esteemed elders wouldn’t have risked the annihilation of their entire families rather than submit to a treacherous official. Just for this reason alone, I trust in the character of those they raised.”

These words from Han Yu meant more to Zhai Li and the others than any other affirmation. To them, how they were regarded mattered less than Han Yu’s affirmation of the character of their old masters. In their hearts, they silently swore to assist Lord Han to their utmost, so as not to disappoint his trust in them.

At this moment, Su Wenyue still had no idea that Han Yu had subdued all the bandits and was en route to the military camp with them in custody, just as the heavy rain had ended and the sun emerged.

“Madam, it’s a rainbow! All colorful and pretty, a truly beautiful sight and a good omen,” Grandma Chen said excitedly upon seeing the rainbow that appeared in the sky, believing that Madam would be delighted since she had been worried about her husband’s safety for the past few days.

When Su Wenyue heard this, she looked in the direction Grandma Chen was pointing, and indeed, she saw a rainbow streaking through the sky with marvelous colors, bringing a trace of joy to her face.

“Grandma Chen, please send someone to inquire at the military camp to see if Husband has returned.”
