Su Wenyue had not spoken up, feeling that it was not the right time to have an emotional outburst. Today, seeing Han Yu hesitate with an obvious air of concealment was a tipping point, and she exploded with emotion.

“Woo woo woo, why is my fate so miserable? I married such a heartless man who only thinks of his own grand ambitions and doesn’t care about his own wife and children. Besides, I, Su Wenyue, am just a merchant’s daughter; even if I have some beauty, what of it? I’m already like a flower from yesterday, and once you’re successful and renowned, what kind of woman can’t you have? Why would you still treasure someone like me? As for the children, you can just have them with another woman. You’re young and strong; you could easily have another dozen,” Su Wenyue wept as she spoke, becoming more impassioned as she went on, with no intention of holding back her grievances.

Han Yu had felt pity and heartache at first, but as he listened to the latter part, it started to sound a bit off. His mouth twitched. What did she mean by having a dozen? Did she think they were pigs? But then he thought about how fertile his daughter-in-law was—a tiny woman who managed to give birth to triplets in one go, something other women couldn’t boast about. Moreover, the children were so agile and smart that such luck seemed unique to his wife in Yiyang Prefecture. Coming back to himself, Han Yu’s thoughts began to wander amidst the emotional chaos.

Su Wenyue’s rant grew more vigorous, and seeing Han Yu space out as if he hadn’t heard a word she said, her face darkened. Damn it, during such a moment of distress, Han Yu was actually ignoring her. Initially, she just wanted to vent and make her husband understand her thoughts, but now it seemed she needed to teach him a lesson.

“Han Yu! What do you mean by this? Are you so annoyed that you can’t even listen to me speak? Fine, then!” Su Wenyue jabbed at Han Yu several times in frustration. The light punches didn’t hurt him, but they were enough to snap Han Yu out of his wayward thoughts.

Seeing his daughter-in-law glaring at him in anger, Han Yu knew he had messed up. He’d never intended it, it was just that his wife’s words stirred such wild imaginations. Having finally relaxed, his thoughts had wandered off course, but now he faced his wife’s inevitable wrath.

“Daughter-in-law, don’t be angry, you’ve misunderstood. I…” Han Yu began, momentarily at a loss for words, since he couldn’t actually divulge his bizarre thoughts to his wife.

“Misunderstood what? Do you take me for a fool who can’t see that you just don’t want to deal with me? I, Su Wenyue, am not so shameless. If you truly don’t want to bother with me anymore, just say it outright. I will take the child and leave for the field right away. But before that, give me the divorce papers. Afterward, we will have nothing to do with each other.”

Hearing Su Wenyue mention leaving for the field, Han Yu’s eyelids twitched, considering the feasibility of the situation. However, hearing her latter statement, he retracted any such thoughts, his heart sinking.

Ever since Han Yu had taught Su Wenyue a ‘deep’ lesson with his actions, even though she had her petty moments while quarreling with him, she always steered clear of sensitive topics. This time, saying such words made him realize this was not just simple anger—it was more serious than he had imagined.

“Wife, haven’t I said that it’s impossible for that to happen? In this lifetime, I, Han Yu, will only have you as my wife. I can’t let you leave! If you have any grievances or dissatisfaction, you can tell me; but this one matter is not to be mentioned ever again,” Han Yu said with an indisputable and domineering tone. Su Wenyue’s anger subsided somewhat, reassured at the very least that this man didn’t disregard her entirely. However, now that she had erupted, she wasn’t willing to let it go so easily—otherwise, Han Yu would become too complacent.

“You say don’t mention it, and so we shall not? Han Yu, you really don’t take me seriously. Back then, you made that decision without consulting me at all. Do you know how worried and helpless I felt? And now this is happening again. I can’t live like this!” Su Wenyue spoke while wiping away tears, turning to walk outside, but Han Yu stopped her and pulled her into his embrace.

Han Yu couldn’t let Su Wenyue really go out. If his wife ran off now, it would cause a huge problem, and explaining things would be even harder, so he held her tightly and tried to soothe her: “Wife, don’t be impulsive. Listen to me; I didn’t mean to hide anything from you. What happened last time was my fault, but it wasn’t that I didn’t want to discuss it with you. Someone was watching in the shadows, and for safety, I had to keep it from you. This time, there was no intention to hide anything from you. I just got the definite news last night and was planning to discuss it with you at home today.”

Things had changed since then. Previously, Han Yu had indeed harbored such thoughts, afraid that his wife wouldn’t agree and planning to act first and report afterward. But now, the situation had escalated, and such plans were naturally impossible.

“What is it?” Su Wenyue, although wanting to teach Han Yu a lesson, understood what mattered most in critical times.

Han Yu relayed to Su Wenyue the news he had received from Sikong Ling, information that was highly confidential and not to be casually revealed. But Han Yu fully trusted his own wife; moreover, after a series of events, Su Wenyue’s behavior had made Han Yu even more convinced that she was someone who could be relied upon in critical moments. Telling his wife about these matters would give her a clear understanding, helping her to better deal with what was happening outside.

Indeed, Han Yu had decided to keep Su Wenyue by his side, to face the upcoming dangers, difficulties, and challenges together. That’s why he gradually shared this information with his wife. He had been pushed into a corner by her.

After hearing what Han Yu said, Su Wenyue understood his intentions. Knowing Han Yu as she did from their previous life and this one, how could she not know what such behavior implied? Su Wenyue was somewhat pleased; her outburst seemed to have had an effect. Although Han Yu had not hidden things from her before, he hadn’t made a point of telling her either. This time was clearly different.

But knowing the current situation, Su Wenyue felt worried, understanding why Han Yu had wanted to send her and the children away. If she hadn’t been so adamant and hadn’t erupted at the right time, Han Yu might have truly decided to send her away as he had done before. Now that she’d chosen to stay, she wasn’t afraid of danger herself, but she couldn’t ignore the safety of her children.

“Wife, now you understand the situation. If it weren’t too dangerous, I wouldn’t want you and the children to leave me. Besides, even if you don’t consider your own safety, think of the children. They are still so young; what if they encounter danger?” Han Yu seemed to read Su Wenyue’s thoughts. Though he had made his decision, he still tried to persuade her, hoping she would change her mind.

“Let me think about it,” said Su Wenyue, her mind in turmoil, the children indeed her weakest spot.
