“Husband, you’re really amazing, how did you do it?” Su Wenyue, too curious to hold back, asked as soon as she entered the room.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. How did I do what?” Han Yu raised an eyebrow, speaking with a blank expression as if he didn’t understand what Su Wenyue was referring to.
Looking at Han Yu acting this way, Su Wenyue felt her teeth itch with irritation. This man was clearly doing it on purpose. He’d revealed such an expression during lunch as if to tell her he was the doer of the deed, and now he was pretending otherwise, teasing her.
In fact, Han Yu was indeed teasing Su Wenyue. For some reason, seeing Su Wenyue get angry and puffed up in frustration seemed incredibly adorable to him, which led to a somewhat mischievous side of him that liked to occasionally tease his wife a bit.
It was quite obvious to Su Wenyue as well. Although they hadn’t spent as much time together in this life as they had in her previous life — with just a month of marriage under their belts — due to Su Wenyue’s earnest efforts, the relationship between the newlywed couple wasn’t bad at all. Su Wenyue had gained a deeper understanding of Han Yu than ever before, which could count as somewhat familiar. Thus, she rather understood Han Yu’s mischievous side when it came to some matters. Although she didn’t grasp why, Han Yu just enjoyed it. Regarding Han Yu’s behavior, Su Wenyue felt both annoyed and helpless.
“Oh, Husband, you’re just feigning ignorance while being fully aware, aren’t you? I know it was you. Please just tell me how you managed it, come on, spill it! I’m really very curious.” Su Wenyue widened her eyes at Han Yu, her face full of a craving for knowledge. At this moment, her desire to know the ins and outs of the affair surpassed everything else. Without concern for Han Yu’s mischief, she tugged at his arm and asked – both coyly and stubbornly, oddly satisfying someone in another way, and so he didn’t keep her in suspense any longer.
Su Wenyue knew Han Yu was a man capable of great feats, but that was in serious matters and at court. However, she hadn’t expected to witness such a display applied to getting back at someone on her behalf — a rather pleasing surprise, indeed. Of course, she was even more curious about how Han Yu had accomplished it.
“Actually, it was nothing much, just got one of my mother’s old ladies involved, promised her some benefits and had her do a little something, nothing too difficult.” Han Yu gave a cough that seemed to mask something and spoke lightly, making it sound like it was quite easy.
Of course, Su Wenyue knew it wouldn’t be that simple. Just the matter of her mother-in-law’s acquaintance, offering some benefits seemed hardly sufficient. What if that old lady spilled the beans later on? Han Yu always tied up loose ends neatly in his affairs, leaving no trail behind, so he must have done something else. Besides, Mrs. Wang’s reaction at the time was also very abnormal. This woman was duplicitous, usually preferring to play the victim or feign weakness. Why would she talk back to her mother-in-law at a time that clearly disadvantaged her? It was all too illogical, and the suspicions were stacking up.
“Just like that? There’s nothing else you’re not telling me? How could it be so simple? What about Second Sister-in-law then? Why did she act so abnormally at the time?” Su Wenyue didn’t like to keep her questions to herself and was determined to get to the bottom of it, though Han Yu clearly didn’t plan on saying anything more.
