Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Intense Reaction (2/2)

Han Lin kept talking, not out of concern for Mrs. Yang’s injury, but focusing on the cost of the treatment. Su Wenyue didn’t know what to say upon hearing this; Third Child was too crude. Not to mention how Old Man Han and the other Han family members felt hearing this—they were all very uncomfortable.

“Enough, Third Child, shut your mouth or get out! How could I have fathered someone so worthless?” Old Man Han exploded in anger.

His speech may have been flawed, but at that moment, no one cared about such details. With a penetrating gaze, Han Yu glanced at Han Lin and then addressed everyone.

“This matter is not simple, and Second Brother is right. How could the thief be so bold as to break into our house and steal in broad daylight? He cannot be unafraid of getting caught. He must have known the situation of our house— aware everyone went out and therefore had the audacity to sneak in. And it’s hard to understand why the thief would know about our house and go straight to my room—it doesn’t add up. Also, wasn’t the house supposed to have someone in it? Third Sister-in-law should have been home; how come she didn’t hear anything? That’s also quite strange.”

With those words, Han Yu was just short of calling out Mrs. Wang as the traitor. Hearing this, Han Lin remembered Mrs. Wang’s unusual behavior at the time and started to panic, fearing the incident might indeed be linked to his wife. But even so, he would never admit it.

Everyone present showed a contemplative expression after hearing Han Yu’s words and turned to look at Han Lin. It was quite obvious they all thought Mrs. Wang was involved, especially since she had been eyeing Fourth Daughter-in-law’s dowry for some time.

“What are you implying with your words, Fourth child? Are you suggesting my wife colluded with the thief? Don’t slander her like that. It’s impossible that she has anything to do with this!” Han Lin pointed at Han Yu, putting on a show of anger, but it was just bluster and clearly lacked conviction.

Han Yu could easily see through Han Lin’s guilty conscience. He suspected that Han Lin knew something, which was why he reacted so violently.

“We’ll know the truth if your wife comes out and speaks for herself. She was also in the house; it’s impossible she heard nothing. Besides, wasn’t it said that when the thief pushed down Mother, your wife was there too? Maybe she saw the thief’s face. Even though his face was covered, during daylight, one can still see quite a bit.”

“My wife is carrying our child right now and isn’t feeling well; she’s resting in our room. You can’t disturb her. If she becomes upset because of your random suspicions, I’ll never let it go! ”

Han Lin was blatantly taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. Wang was pregnant, using it as an excuse to avoid the situation, a move that was despicable yet effective.

Su Wenyue, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly laughed. “Yes, I also do not believe Third Sister-in-law would do such a thing. After all, we are all one family, and even if she were excessive at times, she couldn’t possibly collude with a thief to steal from her own home. I believe that much.”

The relationship between Su Wenyue and Mrs. Wang was well known to the Han family members; these two sister-in-laws had never gotten along and their conflicts had been numerous. Now it was apparent that Mrs. Wang was implicated, yet Su Wenyue was defending her.. What was going on?
