Chapter 119 - Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Not Knowing What’s Going On (2/2)
Unable to find the man, Han Yu returned and sat quietly for a while to gather his thoughts. He had been too eager for revenge for his daughter-in-law, which caused him to overlook some details. Just then, Mrs. Liu came to report Jiang Chunlan’s recent odd behavior, and Han Yu’s face darkened, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.
“Jiang Chunlan, such an absurd and foolish woman!”
Previously, because of his birth mother, Han Yu did not want to make Mrs. Yang uncomfortable. Although he ignored Jiang Chunlan, he did not take any action against her—it was simply a matter of maintaining a cold attitude. He had been quite tolerant in many ways. Sadly, Su Wenyue’s injury hit Han Yu’s limit, and now, he had no intention of letting Jiang Chunlan off.
As Su Wenyue lay in bed recuperating, strictly following the doctor’s orders with Han Yu supervising, she obediently rested for several days. Once her spirit had recovered and improved, she could not stand lying in bed any longer.
“Miss, the doctor told you to rest quietly in bed, and Uncle specifically instructed this before he left. You promised,” Xiao Xi said.
As soon as Su Wenyue was injured, Su Hengxuan called Xiao Xi back from Zhuangzi to take care of her, while another experienced worker was sent to Zhuangzi in her place. At the moment, Xiao Xi looked helplessly at her mistress, determined to enforce the doctor’s and Uncle’s orders.
“Xiao Xi, your Miss has been lying in bed for several days now, and my bones are almost soft. Please, just let me out for some fresh air,” Su Wenyue pleaded. Although she had only hurt her neck and was fine after the wound healed, the doctor and Han Yu treated her as if she had a severe illness that required her to rest in bed.
Especially Han Yu, who seemed to have been scared by the recent events, stubbornly adhered to the doctor’s orders without compromise. If it weren’t for the need to deal with the criminals, he would be personally watching over Su Wenyue by her bedside. Even though he was busy, he still left strict instructions for Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi felt guilty for not insisting on accompanying Su Wenyue home that day, which led to Su Wenyue’s misfortune. Although no one blamed her afterward, she was deeply remorseful. This time, she resolutely followed Han Yu’s orders. She wouldn’t budge on his words unless necessary,
Seeing Xiao Xi so determined, Su Wenyue couldn’t help but feel helpless. Whose servant girl was she to follow Han Yu’s commands so meticulously? After all the talking, Su Wenyue had become tired again and fell asleep in a daze.
Xiao Xi, looking at her mistress in this state, was worried. Could the Miss be suffering from some serious illness? Otherwise, why would the doctor insist on these requirements? Moreover, the Miss had looked unwell these past few days, always apathetic as if she hadn’t woken up properly and extremely sleepy. Xiao Xi couldn’t shake the feeling that it was more than just drowsiness; things had to be closely monitored. Later, she would have to inform Uncle and request another doctor’s examination for the Miss.
After all, Xiao Xi was a servant girl who had never been married. Although trained to be capable by the Su Hengyi brothers, she lacked experience in some matters and didn’t consider alternative explanations.
While Su Wenyue slept soundly, turmoil erupted outside. Ever since Mrs. Liu had voiced her suspicions about Jiang Chunlan, Han Yu had kept an eye on her, and he caught Jiang Chunlan secretly delivering food to Zhang Qing. Of course, she couldn’t escape their attention, and Jiang Chunlan was bound along with Zhang Qing and brought back by Han Yu.
