Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 75: It Depends on Your Performance (2/2)

With two extra people in the home, the atmosphere therein changed. Mrs. Li was naturally reticent and reserved, speaking little, while Mrs. Liu couldn’t stand Jiang Chunlan’s lady-like demeanor. Even the Fourth Daughter-in-law, who truly came from a wealthy family, didn’t behave like her. Moreover, Jiang Chunlan always had the nerve to hold a handkerchief between her fingers and look longingly at the Fourth child, a display unbecoming of an unmarried girl gazing at a grown man.

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, you’d better be careful. Watch out for that shameless fox, or the Fourth child might be snatched away. I’ve never seen such a brazen girl,” said Mrs. Liu with disdain, glancing at Jiang Chunlan in the courtyard.

Su Wenyue was indifferent to Mrs. Liu’s remarks. She didn’t see Han Yu as particularly faithful, but he certainly had discerning taste and wouldn’t be interested in someone like Jiang Chunlan.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. My Husband isn’t that kind of man. Let her look all she wants. She is family, after all, and if we act improperly, it won’t look good to Mother,” she replied.

“You just don’t understand men, Fourth Daughter-in-law. No matter how upright they appear to be, deep down they’re all flirtatious. Jiang Chunlan might only be average-looking, but she’s young and lively, and an unmarried girl at that. If she’s set on seducing, what man wouldn’t take the bait? Don’t take it lightly; if that shameless fox succeeds, you’ll regret it when it’s too late,” warned Mrs. Liu.

As for Mrs. Liu’s opinions and perspectives, Su Wenyue just smiled without comment. At least Han Yu was not that sort of person, although how exactly that sort of person Han Yu was, Su Wenyue often felt she understood clearly, yet sometimes she found him quite puzzling.

As soon as Su Wenyue returned to her room, she was embraced by Han Yu, who gazed at his wife, who seemed lost in thought.

“What are you thinking about, so entranced? Earlier, I saw you whispering with Sister-in-law in the kitchen. She’s not the calm type and isn’t too clever. Don’t get mixed up in her nonsense. Spend less time with her from now on, lest you be led astray,” Han Yu said, furrowing his brow at the mention of Mrs. Liu. He had little patience for the gossiping women of the village who seemed to have nothing better to do than meddle and squabble over trivialities, and Mrs. Liu was a prime example. He was lucky to have married a wife so well-suited to him, and he couldn’t let anyone corrupt her.

“Not too clever,” Su Wenyue laughed softly. “So that’s what you think of Sister-in-law. What if she heard you?”

Seeing the mischievous smile on Su Wenyue’s face, Han Yu pinched her tender cheeks. “What if she did hear? Are you going to snitch to Sister-in-law? When did you become so friendly with her that you would betray your Husband?”

“Now you know. But don’t worry, I’m not that close to Sister-in-law. It’s just superficial politeness, not to the point of selling out my Husband,” Su Wenyue humorously replied to Han Yu’s teasing expression.

“So what you’re saying is, if you were close friends, you could sell out your Husband?” asked Han Yu, his look toward Su Wenyue clearly threatening.

Unfortunately for him, Su Wenyue didn’t take his threat seriously at all. “That depends on how well you behave.”

“I think you need a lesson!”….
