“You’re really not going to get angry if I speak?” Su Wenyue asked Han Yu again, receiving an encouraging look from him.
“Sikong Ling is not a good person—he’s a flirtatious hypocrite who especially loves to collect beauties. He… he harbors ill intentions towards me.” Su Wenyue spoke while carefully observing Han Yu’s expression. As she finished speaking, Han Yu’s face betrayed a fierce possessiveness, but there was no displeasure directed at her, which eased her mind somewhat.
“Anyone who ogles a pregnant woman clearly has a flawed character. It’s only his handsome face and respectable background that have saved such a lowly human from being beaten to death on the streets.”
“You’re right, Sikong Ling is exactly that kind of scum. I wish I could crush him under my foot. However, Husband, you need to be wary of him in the future. Sikong Ling isn’t just lecherous; he’s also very cunning and not at all open and upright. To get what he wants, he always resorts to underhanded methods. I’m afraid he will scheme against you!”
Su Wenyue genuinely harbored such concerns. In her previous life, this had not happened because several years later, Han Yu was transferred elsewhere and did not care much about her, which is why Sikong Ling did not target Han Yu but instead took advantage of Mrs. Wang. Now the situation was different, and Su Wenyue feared Sikong Ling would target Han Yu, who was unprepared. She felt compelled to warn him. After all, even though Han Yu had reached the position of Prime Minister in her previous life, he was currently only a petty official of the eighth rank, and it would be very easy for him to fall into a trap.
“What did Sikong Ling do to you?!” When Han Yu asked this, it wasn’t out of suspicion but affirmation—he wouldn’t be asking if his daughter-in-law weren’t so genuinely worried and cautious.
“In that dream, you actually didn’t like me very much and found me too willful and spoiled. You were very cold towards me. Sikong Ling set his sights on me and investigated my background thoroughly. He colluded with Mrs. Wang, swindled my dowry, and even incited trouble between us. Upset by your indifference and lack of care, I grew to hate the Han Family and, in a fit of anger, I divorced you. Because of my wilfulness, my mother’s family did not understand me, leaving me isolated. It was then that Sikong Yu appeared, showing concern and kindness towards me. I disliked him, but I had no choice but to rely on him, and afterward…”
Su Wenyue stopped there without continuing, but the implication of her words was clear enough. Looking up, she saw Han Yu’s face was terribly grim, but she did not regret speaking openly. After all, Han Yu, with his insight, would surely guess something. It was better to tell this mixed truth to curtail his suspicions and also to achieve her goal of making Han Yu wary of Sikong Ling, though she was unsure about the side effects.
Indeed, in her previous life, Han Yu had indeed treated her poorly, colder than most people. Even though there were many reasons on her part, and so much time had passed, Su Wenyue still harbored resentment. Now, saying it in front of Han Yu gave her a sense of relief and, upon seeing his unpleasing expression, a subtle sense of vindication, even though she knew it wasn’t right. This Han Yu was not the same man from her previous life, but it still felt good to speak her mind.
