Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Absolutely Effective (2/2)
Seeing that even his father was speaking up, Han Yu knew his wife must have taken a very firm stance this time. Regarding Feng Susu and her child, although his wife hadn’t informed him beforehand, she had been treating the mother and son rather differently before, so there must be a special reason for it.
By the time Han Yu left Madam Yang’s place, an hour had passed, and when he returned to their room and pushed open the door, he found it completely dark inside. If it weren’t for Xiao Xi and Grandma Chen guarding the door, Han Yu might have thought that Su Wenyue wasn’t there.
The silence indicated that the situation was more serious than he had anticipated. His wife seldom behaved like this; she would usually just throw a tantrum. Today, she must’ve been truly upset. Han Yu didn’t believe his mother had the ability to best his wife. It was likely his mother said something excessively hurtful that made his wife so angry.
“Why is the room so dark? Why isn’t the lamp lit? Madam’s pregnant; everything should be handled with care. How can we leave her alone in the room? What kind of service is this?” Han Yu looked at Grandma Chen and the others at the door disapprovingly, clearly dissatisfied with their actions. Even if his wife was upset, the servants should have persuaded her, rather than leaving the mistress in danger.
Had Han Yu reprimanded the servants like this on an ordinary day, Su Wenyue would have spoken up in their defense by now. But today, there was no response from her. Han Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of anxiety as he walked swiftly to the bed. Just then, the servants lit the lamp, and he saw a lump under the covers. Pulling back the blanket, Su Wenyue’s back was revealed.
Han Yu carefully turned her around, only to find his delicate wife with tears streaming down her face, her eyes swollen from crying, which made his heart twinge.
“Wife, what’s wrong? Why are you crying so hard? Have you been wronged?” Han Yu hadn’t expected his wife to be so emotional. Had he known, he would have come back sooner, rather than trying to mend the rift between his mother and wife first.
“Why do you even care about me at all? In the end, you’re all family, and I’m just an outsider!” Su Wenyue attempted to push Han Yu away but was held firmly in his embrace. After a few futile shoves, she turned her face away as tears continued to flow unchecked.
Inside, Su Wenyue felt hurt, but more than that, she wanted Han Yu to know she had been greatly wronged. Since Madam Yang had gotten ahead by complaining first, Su Wenyue wasn’t without her own strategy, and this tactic was definitely effective against Han Yu.
“Wife, listen to me. Tell me your grievances, and stop crying. Otherwise, our baby will be sad too,” Han Yu was distressed and confused as he frantically tried to console her.
“You only care about the child in your belly, not about my feelings at all. You leave me alone at home to be bullied by your mother, and you never heard what she said about me. It’s bad enough that she always criticizes me, but she also called me a house-ruining wife. Clearly, you brought those servants, yet she shifts the blame to me. I’ve been so wronged… and she says I’m being delicate, saying I still have the airs of a young rich lady. How am I being delicate? If she really despises me that much, she might as well divorce me, after all…”
Su Wenyue hadn’t finished speaking when the expression on Han Yu’s face darkened, “After all, what?”
