Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Jumping Up and Down (2/2)

logic at a time like this. The only way was to go along with her. To him, a pregnant woman’s wants were the priority; he dared not provoke her.

“Not good enough! You’re just cajoling me. No matter what, you won’t be like Lord Zhou. Always this isn’t allowed, that isn’t allowed; you don’t listen to me at all.”

Han Yu didn’t argue this time. It was highly unlikely that he would indulge his daughter-in-law without principles like Lord Zhou did. Firstly, he wasn’t the kind of pushover Lord Zhou was, and secondly, indulging her in some things wasn’t truly for her good. It would harm her. His daughter-in-law was a contradiction: sometimes, she seemed virtuous and sensible beyond compare, and sometimes, she acted like a child, unpredictable. Wasn’t it up to him to find the right balance?

Seeing Han Yu silent, Su Wenyue felt somewhat irritated inside. So much for indulging and spoiling her. Just a few sentences were enough to test him. She pinched Han Yu hard around his waist. Seeing the calm expression on his face change color, she felt somewhat relieved, her face sporting a slightly triumphant smile. This pregnancy ‘privilege’ was quite effective. Even after she’d ‘bullied’ him, Han Yu had to behave, not daring to complain.

Han Yu found his daughter-in-law amusing, his lips curling slightly without making a sound. The force in her little punches was only enough to tickle him. There was no real pain – he was just humoring his unhappy wife to cheer her up. Indeed, his wife was too naive and too easily deceived. He realized he needed to be more attentive.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wang, after leaving the Han Family, visited the Wang family, only to not get the immediate audience with Mrs. Wang Sun that she had hoped for. Instead, she was left waiting in the hall. Zhou Wang wasn’t just disliked by Su Wenyue; Mrs. Wang Sun also had little regard for her. Seeing how Zhou Wang hopped around brazenly, even if Mrs. Wang Sun needed Zhou Wang for something this time, she needed to discipline her first to teach her a lesson and let her know who was in charge.

“Our lady is occupied at the moment. If you wish to see her, you can wait here. When she has time, she will see you,” said the servant girl beside Mrs. Sun, her tone neither warm nor cold.

“No problem, I’ll wait here. Whenever Madam Wang has time, she can come to see me. Could you please convey the message, miss?” Mrs. Wang said, slipping a purse into the servant girl’s hand while feeling quite frustrated inside.

It wasn’t just that Mrs. Wang couldn’t rely on Su Wenyue; now she had to depend on Mrs. Sun. Even with the general magistrate as a link, Mrs. Wang dared not offend Mrs. Sun. Having been left waiting in the living room, she had to endure it and couldn’t show any dissatisfaction on her face.

“Alright, I’ll pass the message to Madam. You wait here, and please don’t wander around. Otherwise, Madam will blame you.”

“Yes, yes, I understand. I won’t wander around,” Zhou Wang hurriedly agreed. Once the servant girl left, Zhou Wang’s expression darkened instantly. Being treated coldly twice in one day would wear down anyone’s composure.

At the time, Mrs. Wang Sun and Madam Fang Chen were chatting in the room. Seeing the servant girl who had gone out to relay the message come in, they exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of disdain.

“Did you tell her what I instructed? What was Zhou Wang’s reaction?” Mrs. Wang Sun glanced at the servant girl and asked.

The servant girl reported Zhou Wang’s response. Mrs. Wang Sun revealed a hint of satisfaction and turned to Madam Fang Chen: “Even though Mrs. Su is detestable, Zhou Wang isn’t any good either. She needed to be taught a lesson; otherwise, she would actually think she is someone of importance!”
