Chapter 149: Courting Disaster

Translator: 549690339

Han Yu did not want to disappoint his daughter-in-law when the time came, so he had Su Wenyue make mental preparations in advance. As for Feng Susu, he would see if she was a good person or not. After having met her only twice, to have his daughter-in-law so concerned and even wanting to bring her home, if Feng dared to use his daughter-in-law or play tricks on her, she should not blame him for being impolite. With his current ability, although he could not make too big a move, it was still very easy to make a woman with no significant background disappear.

However, all these were just thoughts in Han Yu’s mind, and he had not let Su Wenyue know. Such dark matters were best handled by him alone; his daughter-in-law only needed to spend her days happily. He would support her and protect her within his realm.

Su Wenyue did not realize that her attitude towards Feng Susu had led Han Yu to have so many thoughts. Originally, she did not intend to keep this matter a secret from Han Yu, but she did not know how to explain it. She thought about saying that it was from a dream she had before, but clearly, Han Yu did not quite believe this claim. Thus, she decided not to mention it for the time being and to tell Han Yu at the right opportunity, perhaps even surprising him.

“It’s nothing! I’m just helping an aunt with a favor. You can just ask around when you are free.” I didn’t really count on you to find it, Su Wenyue silently added in her heart. With the clues given by Feng Susu, it naturally wouldn’t be easy to find. Otherwise, why would Feng have searched for so many years? If it were truly possible to find, she wouldn’t have asked for Han Yu’s help; she was simply letting Han Yu go through the motions as a preamble for future matters.

This is not the right attitude, daughter-in-law, Han Yu thought. He knew Su Wenyue very well. If she was willing to help someone, she would do so diligently. This clearly meant he should take it lightly. But this was not a task from Shangfeng; Feng Susu was an ordinary woman. If his daughter-in-law did not want to help, she could simply refuse. What was going on?

His daughter-in-law’s thought process was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to Han Yu. Was there something fishy about Feng Susu’s status that made his daughter-in-law go through such lengths to placate her? Han Yu really wanted to understand.

After discussing Feng Susu, Su Wenyue pulled Han Yu into the study. Han Yu remembered Su Wenyue mentioning military books before. He wondered whether his daughter-in-law had truly managed to transcribe the military books from memory. Then again, he thought it was unlikely. His daughter-in-law was not someone with a photographic memory. Military books were not like the Book of Songs; even if she had seen them before, she probably wouldn’t remember much, let alone transcribe them.

Seeing Su Wenyue retrieve a package from a hidden corner and unwrap it to reveal two freshly bound books, Han Yu visibly saw the words “The Art of War” and “Thirty-Six Stratagems” on the covers. Although he did not show much on the surface, Su Wenyue still noticed the thrill in Han Yu’s heart.

“You must think I’m just bluffing, right? I’m the most honest person, I never like to lie,” she said. “Look, these two Art of War books are far superior to whatever the Mighty General has written.”

If it were any other time, Han Yu would have teased her with a few jokes, but at this moment, his mind was entirely on the books. He only wanted to take them and check whether they were as formidable as his daughter-in-law claimed.
