Han Yu seemed to see through what Su Wenyue was thinking, and coaxed her, “Since you know you can’t fool me, just tell the truth. Why do you have to keep everything to yourself, hiding and guarding these thoughts all day long, trying to cover up? Aren’t you exhausted? Besides, your nature really isn’t suited to this kind of deceitful behavior because there are simply too many loopholes!”
“I didn’t speak up before, turning a blind eye, because I didn’t want to overburden you with thoughts and put you under pressure. But now it seems impossible to continue like this. Letting you press these worries on your heart, entertaining all sorts of chaotic thoughts all the time, will sooner or later change your temperament. If it goes sour, that would be a loss far outweighing any gain. So, today, whether you speak willingly or not, you must speak. Don’t make me use methods on you! Besides, who was it that said husband and wife should be honest with each other? Those were your words, and now I’ve done it, but you haven’t. Yueyue, is this really the principle by which you live, huh?”
With this mix of gentleness and sternness, Han Yu had made up his mind to dig out all the secrets buried in Su Wenyue’s heart. He had clearly seen many of her slip-ups before but had not pointed them out. He was curious and wanted to investigate himself. It was also out of respect and consideration for Su Wenyue, but this was under the premise that it did not affect their normal life.
“I…” Su Wenyue, feeling pressured by Han Yu, considered whether she should repeat the same explanation she had given to Old Master Su. She hadn’t planned to keep it a secret forever, just wanted to find the right moment. Now that it had come to this, it wasn’t impossible to speak. Yet, while her father had easily believed her, could Han Yu believe her?
“What’s the matter, Yueyue? Do you still have any concerns?” Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue still looked hesitant, clearly moved by his words.
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that this matter is somewhat incredible, and I’m afraid you won’t believe it.”
“You haven’t even said it yet, how do you know I won’t believe it? Or do you actually lack confidence in me from the bottom of your heart? I am your Husband, Lady Yue, can you trust me just once?” Han Yu felt an itch in his teeth and really wanted to teach this little girl who didn’t trust her Husband a lesson. But, having finally coaxed her into revealing her secrets, he must hold back, not to scare her away, for there would be plenty of opportunities for discipline later.
Encouraged by Han Yu’s supportive gaze, Su Wenyue slightly altered the story she had initially told Master Su and shared it with Han Yu.
Han Yu was actually somewhat incredulous, thinking his Daughter-in-law was attempting to deceive him again, inventing such an explanation. But considering her occasional mysteriousness and some unexplainable occurrences, he listened attentively, closely observing Su Wenyue’s reactions. As he listened more, his expression slowly turned serious, and by the end, it even became a bit severe.
