Master Su, being merely a businessman, no one dares to easily meddle with the Su Mansion, precisely for this reason, the rules set by the ancestral Su Family, which allowed the legitimate second house to separate, were also made with long-term considerations in mind, leaving a fallback for the Su Family. Brothers of the same root, even if their households were divided, their relationship still stood firm, which is also why Su Hengyi and Su Hengxuan, despite being adept both in literature and martial arts, did not pursue government careers.
“There’s no need to alarm Father-in-law for now. Mr. Sun, though being the general magistrate of Yiyang Prefecture and holding high authority, doesn’t have a direct connection with our military, and even if he wants to do something, it won’t be easy,” Han Yu mused, though his promotion was unexpected, it just came a bit earlier, and everything was still under his control. He wasn’t a stickler for rules or overly self-righteous. Where he could leverage his wife’s family, he would not be polite, but for matters he could resolve himself, there was no need to trouble his Father-in-law; it would make him seem incompetent.
“But it’s still better to be more vigilant. And that person, they might also play dirty behind our backs; we still need to be cautious…” Su Wenyue remained uneasy, wanting to say more, when Han Yu simply bent down and swallowed whatever it was into his mouth.
A moment later, Su Wenyue sat in Han Yu’s arms, panting and with a blank mind, remembering nothing.
“Listen to me, take good care of yourself and the child. Your husband is not so useless, I have a good grasp of these matters and will arrange them properly. You worrying is just unnecessary worry. As long as you take care of yourself and leave me without worries about our rear, everything else is trivial.”
Su Wenyue thought it over and it made sense – in her previous life, Han Yu had climbed to such a high position without relying on the Su Family’s help, which demonstrated how formidable his means and thoughts were. She had always believed in Han Yu’s ability. To speak a rebellious word, in her eyes Han Yu was even more formidable than the emperor; she was simply anxious because she cared too much. So, she nodded, “I’ll listen to you, but you must be very careful. Both I and the child in my stomach are relying on you.”
Seeing his wife’s blindly trusting eyes, Han Yu felt a tenderness in his heart, “Don’t worry, for you and the child in your stomach, I won’t let anything happen to me.”
Since she had told Han Yu all that she could think of and knew, Su Wenyue truly stopped overthinking. Her own intellect was hardly adequate, and those convoluted matters that taxed the brain were better left to Han Yu.
Mrs. Wang Sun returned from attending the banquet at the Han Family with a cold and dark expression. Since arriving in Xinluo Town, she had never suffered such a loss, being ridiculed and threatened by Su Wenyue in front of so many people, losing face completely. What’s worse, she was helpless against Su Wenyue, and she did not know how much truth there was in Su Wenyue’s words, or whether Su Wenyue truly had something incriminating on her.
Although she had leveraged her mother’s family to be quite dominant in the Wang family, even making her mother-in-law yield to her, only she knew that her husband’s heart was not with her. Otherwise, she would not have been so ruthless in suppressing those concubines and aunts; she was also holding back frustration inwardly, afraid that if her husband learned of her deeds, he would grow even colder towards her.
