Chapter 12 - 12 Chapter Twelve: Suspicious Red (2/2)

But Su Wenyue knew her Father was not an obstinate man; he would not sacrifice his Daughter’s lifelong happiness for a mere promise. Now, it seemed her Father’s judgment was quite accurate; indeed, as her Father had said, Han Yu was not an ordinary man, and he was bound to achieve something in time. Her Father also said Han Yu was a man of responsibility and reliability.

Thinking about Han Yu’s future achievements, if the Su Family had a good relationship with him from the start, he would surely look after them more in the future, wouldn’t he? After all, although Han Yu was a cold person, he was also grateful and remembered favors. So she subtly spoke well of her family to him, “Of course. My Father likes you so much that he even valued you over me, his beloved Daughter since childhood. I don’t know what he sees in you?!”

As Su Wenyue said this, her red lips pouted, her cheeks which still carried some baby fat puffed up slightly, and she looked dissatisfiedly at Han Yu. These words were tinged with a hint of jealousy, like a girl whose beloved possession had been snatched away.

Han Yu looked at his wife’s jealous expression and surprisingly quite liked the feeling.

“Perhaps Father-in-law thinks this Son-in-law has a bright future, which is why he married his precious Daughter to me. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint Father-in-law,” Han Yu said half-jokingly, genuinely pleased to have his Father-in-law’s approval, especially since this feeling of making his Wife jealous was not bad.

Su Wenyue, however, stared at Han Yu’s smile as if it were a curiosity. In her previous life, although she’d been in the Han Family for three years, she’d hardly ever seen Han Yu smile. She always saw that same expressionless face, distant and cold, wasting such a handsome countenance.

“You look very handsome when you smile. You should smile more, not always keep such a stern face, it’s not cute at all. No wonder the kids at home are afraid of you. Sometimes, even I’m a bit scared when you get angry, let alone the children. If you smiled more often, you’d surely charm a lot of girls. I’ve just realized how handsome my Husband actually is.”

Su Wenyue said dreamily. Having experienced her previous life, she could hardly be considered a New Daughter-in-law in the strictest sense. She was more outspoken now, and there was nothing embarrassing about praising her own Husband,

Han Yu, however, did not respond to Su Wenyue, and the smile on his face vanished, reverting to his usual demeanor. After a brief greeting, he headed for the mountain. However, if you looked closely, his earlobes carried a suspicious hint of red.

Han Yu felt his young Wife, raised by Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, was indeed too simple and straightforward with her words, without any subtlety, her earlobes growing redder. Although his face was motionless, his eyes could not hide a hint of amusement. This was a man both (harmonious) and scheming.

During the afternoon, Su Wenyue sorted through her Dowry, and the several large red boxes prominent in the room were quite eye-catching. Which Bride in the area had such a respectable dowry? However, for the Su Family, such an ostensible dowry really didn’t count for much, even less than her two Concubine sisters’ dowries.

Although Su Wenyue was the most beloved Daughter of the Su Family, the only legitimate Daughter, she was not the only Daughter. She had two older half-sisters born of a Concubine. Mrs. Su, considering her Daughter’s future, would never let her only Daughter be overshadowed by the concubine-born ones. After operating the family’s affairs for most of her life, Mrs. Su understood what was truly important. Especially considering her Daughter was marrying a Farmer – if the dowry was too lavish, it might attract unwanted attention. The Concubine sisters would likely feel uncomfortable, and they might cause trouble for her Daughter behind her back,
