Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Empty Words Without Proof (2/2)

Su Wenyue also failed to notice the issue, simply feeling that Doctor Lin was making a fuss over nothing. She knew her own body, and today, she had merely received a fright, hardly weakened by it. Yet, even if she wanted to argue at this moment, seeing Han Yu in this state would mean her words would fall on deaf ears, so she had to obediently heed the doctor’s instructions.

“Thank you, Doctor Lin. We will take good care of Lady Yue, and we appreciate your efforts.” When Doctor Lin was giving his instructions, he did not exclude other Han family members. Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang, already concerned about their daughter-in-law’s pale and bedraggled appearance, did not find the doctor’s words to be an overstatement and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wang, although not showing herself much, had always kept an eye on the situation outside. Learning that Jiang Chunlan had indeed moved against Su Wenyue, and with such a method, Mrs. Wang felt not the slightest bit excessive but instead a suppressed excitement and a sense of revenge fulfilled. To a significant degree, Jiang Chunlan’s hatred for Su Wenyue was spurred by her machinations, and it turned out that the foolish Jiang Chunlan could be somewhat useful.

Seeing Su Wenyue carried back by Han Yu, Mrs. Wang’s first reaction, like Jiang Chunlan’s, was a feeling of triumph. However, the outcome clearly disappointed her, and even angered her. She had gone to great lengths to prompt the foolish Jiang Chunlan to act, yet all it led to was a minor injury to Su Wenyue. Furthermore, instead of suffering a setback, Su Wenyue’s reputation had improved and her chaste and virtuous nature had been affirmed by Han family members.

Ah Bin, part of the Su Family, did not forget to send a message to the Su Family when going to summon the doctor. Not long after Doctor Lin left, Master Su and Madam Su hurried to the Han Family, both visibly anxious. Learning that their daughter had only sustained minor injuries and was not in grave danger, they were still deeply distressed.

Master Su, after all, being a man was a bit more sanguine. Madam Su, however, felt differently. Though not unreasonable, she did not look kindly upon Han Yu. Ever since her Daughter had married into the Han Family, she had faced constant hardships, which was a source of great concern for her Mother.

“Mother, don’t worry,” Su Wenyue reassured Master Su and Madam Su with a smile. “It’s just a minor injury, I’m fine, and you’re both unduly alarmed.”

Upon returning home and discovering that his younger sister had been in an accident, Su Hengxuan followed swiftly to the Han Family. After confirming that his younger sister had not sustained any serious injuries, he was then filled with indignation toward the brazen bandits.

“Younger sister, rest assured, these audacious people, daring to target you, I won’t let a single one of them off. You need to recover well, and get your strength back. I can’t stand to see you looking so unwell. By the way, younger sister, do you know who those people were?”

“Yes, my good girl, who are those criminals exactly? To have the audacity to lay hands on my Daughter!” In the wake of concern for his Daughter, Master Su also pursued information about the whole incident.

Han Yu had not yet had the chance to ask, but upon hearing this, he also stared intently at Su Wenyue, hoping to learn more from her.

“I’m not very clear on that, I just remember those few bandits looking familiar. They did not seem like habitual criminals, but a few idle young guys, apparently targeting me specifically. I recognized two of them from somewhere, perhaps from some past encounter, though I can’t remember exactly. For specifics, Ah Bin was there too, Daddy and Second Brother may inquire from him.”

Su Wenyue was aware that Jiang Chunlan was behind this, and this had been confirmed by the bandits themselves, yet she did not speak the truth of the matter. After all, there was no proof, and since Jiang Chunlan was her Mother-in-law’s niece, it was better these matters not come from her own mouth.
