Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Ignorant of Being Favored (2/2)
“You haven’t slept all night, go lie on the bed and take a nap; you still have to go out later.” Su Wenyue still cared about Han Yu, and told him to rest first.
“No need, I am not going out today; I will stay home with you.” Han Yu had an appointment with Lord Fang, or rather, it wasn’t so much an appointment as going to show support, but now it seemed unnecessary.
“Why aren’t you going out again, didn’t you say you had an appointment with someone? If you don’t go, wouldn’t that be breaking your promise.”
“No problem.” Han Yu explained the nature of his visit to support Lord Fang, and Su Wenyue understood; Han Yu was initially interested in the Military Book left by the Mighty General, but now that he had a better one, naturally, he did not need to focus on that, besides Lord Fang was really not an easy person to deal with.
“If you don’t go, won’t that Lord Fang be very angry?” Su Wenyue asked with a bit of mischief.
“No, Lord Fang is generous and will not take offense with us commoners. Besides, when I said I would go show support, Lord Fang clearly said it was not necessary, so naturally, I must respect Lord Fang’s wishes.” Han Yu spoke righteously but with a hint of mischief, much to Su Wenyue’s liking.
Su Wenyue nodded in agreement, “Husband is right, with Lord Fang’s gracious demeanor, he must have meant what he said. Since Lord Fang does not wish for Husband to go, it’s best not to go.”
“Husband, do you like that Military Book?” Su Wenyue had been wanting to ask, even though she knew Han Yu liked it, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed up all night reading it, but she still wanted to hear it from Han Yu himself, feeling it was different.
“Like it, my Wife has really given me a huge surprise! How did I marry such a wonderful Wife, not only beautiful but also knowledgeable and reasonable, and blessed with good fortune, making my wishes come true? There can be no one better than my Wife in this world,” Han Yu was unwavering in his praise for his wife.
“Mhm, as long as you like it, it was worth all the effort and brainpower,” Su Wenyue blushed a little from Han Yu’s compliments. Was she that good?
“But Wife, never mention the two words ‘Military Book’ again, those two things can incite the coveting of too many people, even Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi cannot be told, understand?!”
Su Wenyue nodded, clearly understanding this principle, hence why she did not let Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi stay in the room while transcribing the Military Books. She was aware of the maxim that possessing a treasure might lead to misfortune, but she felt reassured that Han Yu cared so much for her.
The two then discussed the matter of the County Magistrate’s wife’s birthday.
“Husband, in a few days it will be the County Magistrate’s wife’s birthday, what shall we give her on that day?” Su Wenyue’s brows knitted together, she really disliked attending these so-called banquets, not only because they required one to prepare a gift, but also to flatter people she didn’t like, which she found completely pointless.
Han Yu currently held a very low-rank position, being an eighth rank; looking around, it was hard to find many whose rank was lower than his. Regardless, they could not avoid attending the birthday of the County Magistrate’s wife, especially since she had sent them a specific invitation, and to not go would be seen as being ungrateful.
Seeing his wife’s troubled face, Han Yu knew the reason and felt a bit of guilt. Although he knew what would be better for him, he was still reluctant to let his wife feel slighted. He was striving to advance his career to seek revenge but also to provide honor and luxuries for his wife and child.
Stroking Su Wenyue’s head affectionately, he said, “If you really don’t want to go, just make up an excuse, say you’re not feeling well, and just send a gift. The County Magistrate’s wife will surely understand, considering you’re pregnant with our child.”
