Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Lady Yue Gets Drunk on Wine (2/2)
Han Yu still didn’t trust anyone else to handle his daughter-in-law, even if that person was her birth mother. He sighed inwardly. It hadn’t been long, yet why had he become so fussily attentive? It was all because he couldn’t let go of the person in his arm.
The lady from the An Family, seeing Han Yu’s insistence, did not press further. She calmly made arrangements with satisfaction growing inside her. Aside from his humble background, this son-in-law was not bad in other aspects, and more importantly, he cared deeply for her daughter.
Once Su Wenyue fell asleep, she was very quiet, complacently letting Han Yu take care of her. Han Yu personally fed her a bowl of hangover soup, tucked her under the blanket, instructed the servant girl to take good care of her, and then returned to the main hall.
When Su Wenyue woke up, it was already two hours later. Because she had drunk the hangover soup before sleeping, her head didn’t hurt too much. After asking the servant girl about Han Yu’s whereabouts, who apparently was in the study room, Su Wenyue got herself tidied up and headed there, bumping into Su Hengxuan along the way.
“Second Brother, where are you off to?”
Upon seeing Su Wenyue, the corners of Su Hengxuan’s mouth curled up in a meaningful smile: “Yo, little sis, you’re awake. I was planning to check on our family’s little wine immortal, the one who boasts about not getting drunk even after three hundred cups. What an impressive tolerance.”
Even though Su Wenyue couldn’t remember what she had said while drunk, Su Hengxuan’s expression clearly indicated he was teasing her. Thinking about the potential embarrassing things she might have done, she felt her face heating up.
“If you keep making fun of me! My poor drinking tolerance is because you always forbid me from drinking. Tolerance comes with practice. I have important business with Father, so I won’t fool around with you anymore. Right, Han Yu is in the study, isn’t he? Second Brother, could you make up an excuse to send him away for a bit? I need to speak with Father alone.”
“Needing to speak alone with Father, our family’s little sis is all grown up and secretive since she got married. Alright! If little sis commands, how could I not obey? The Han family’s kid is mine to deal with.” Though curious about Su
Wenyue’s reasons for seeking Mr. Su alone, Su Hengxuan didn’t press further. His face was full of inquisitiveness, not out of nosiness but simply because he cared about his sister’s affairs.
Su Wenyue chuckled at Su Hengxuan, knowing that her brother was concerned about her: “Alright, stop looking at me like that. I just don’t want Han Yu to know for the time being, I’m not planning to keep it from you. You’ll know once you ask daddy later.”
Han Yu left the study room with Su Hengxuan, and right after that, Su Wenyue arrived: “Father.”
“My good girl is here. It was you who asked Axuan to get rid of Han Yu, wasn’t it? Do you have something you wish to discuss with Daddy alone?” Mr. Su had long seen through Su Hengxuan’s little ploy and knew that aside from his good girl Su Wenyue, nobody else would direct Su Hengxuan to act that way. Mr. Su had stayed in the study room precisely to wait for his daughter.
“Father, you’re still as sagacious and insightful as ever, nothing escapes your discernment. I indeed asked Second Brother to dismiss Han Yu because there’s something important I want to talk to you about. However, it’s something significant and rather unbelievable, to the extent that even now, I’m not sure if it’s just a ridiculous dream. But the scenes in the dream are so vivid, as if I had personally experienced them. What’s crucial is, things that I saw in my dream are actually happening, so I’m wondering if it might be the ancestral spirits showing themselves, offering warnings to us descendants!”
Su Wenyue wanted to use her foreknowledge from her previous life to gain advantages and benefits for her family and herself, but some things were simply impossible to explain clearly.. Bringing them up out of the blue wouldn’t easily convince anyone, so
