Chapter 59: How Could This Be Possible
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang remembered the news Han Yu brought back and shared it with Wang Chenglin who showed a fierce look on his face, “It’s actually him, this bastard actually dares to frame me, I won’t let him go.”
“Brother, let’s talk about that later. We still need to solve the current problem. Now, it’s impossible for Su Wenyue to bring out the silver herself. We have to think of something.”
“If she’s unwilling to give the silver, what else can we think of? We certainly can’t resort to stealing or robbing.” Wang Chenglin said, an idea suddenly flashing across his mind. The siblings exchanged glances, clearly having come to the same thought. It would be impossible to rob, but…
“Brother, come closer.”
After they whispered back and forth for a while, they finally made a decision, “That settles it, we’ll do it this way! Sister, you’d better be sure that your brother-in-law isn’t at home at that time. Otherwise, I can’t beat him with his skills, and you don’t want to end up in your little brother-in-law’s hands.”
“Don’t worry, I heard him tell Mother-in-law with my own ears. He’s going to the Su Family tomorrow to discuss matters with his father-in-law; he definitely won’t be home. Plus, at that time, everyone at home will be out in the field, and I’ll be the only one at home.”
“Then it’s settled. It’s getting late; I’ll head back first. Sister, take good care of yourself and keep well. Later on, give birth to a big nephew for me.”
Compared to her days at the Han Family, Su Wenyue’s recent days at the Su Family had been extremely comfortable. She didn’t need to rise early in fear of missing breakfast and could sleep until the sun was high in the sky, eat when she felt like it, play after eating, and sleep after playing. It was so comfortable and pleasant.
“Miss, your Husband is here.”
Su Wenyue was lazing on a lounge chair at the time, with some fruit and cakes placed beside her. She was half-squinting and nibbling on fruit when she heard the servant girl mention Han Yu’s arrival, only then did she open her eyes.
“You really seem comfortable.” Han Yu saw Su Wenyue at that moment looking like a lazy, gluttonous kitten. A smile crept up the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
“Of course, with food and sleep at my disposal, how could it not be comfortable? Hehe, Husband, what brings you here today? Won’t Mother-in-law be unhappy?” Su Wenyue batted her eyes, a sly look flashing across her face. Having missed him after just a few days, the sight of Su Wenyue made Han Yu feel even more affectionate. He pinched her nose gently, then with a hook of his hand, he drew her into his embrace, claiming the lounge chair for themselves.
“Of course not, Mother sent me. I didn’t initially plan to come, with work waiting in the field. But Mother missed her daughter-in-law and insisted that I come to see if you were doing well. I had no choice but to obey.” Han Yu made himself out to be a filial son with his words, making anyone unaware think it was indeed the case.
“Really? Hehe.” Su Wenyue, hearing Han Yu say this, showed no sign of anger. Instead, her face bore a mischievously amused smile, as if saying ‘I see right through you’.
She knew Han Yu well enough to realize that if he didn’t want to come, nothing could make him. His mother had probably become anxious because of Han Yu’s various hints and suggestions, making her think of this matter. That guy was sneakily cunning, disguising his own wishes as if others had to beg and urge him to do them. However, Su Wenyue had to admit that Han Yu’s approach was quite effective. Her good relationship with her mother-in-law at the Han Family, aside from her mother’s support, was largely due to Han Yu’s knack for moderating between them. She only realized later how bad her relationship with her mother-in-law had gotten after Mrs. Wang became pregnant.
“Why wouldn’t it be? Ah, my mother is thinking about having me bring my wife back home, to give her a grandson earlier.” Han Yu said, with a serious demeanor but slightly improper words.
“You’re talking nonsense. It wasn’t Mother who said it; it was you, wasn’t it?” Su Wenyue punched Han Yu lightly.
Seeing Su Wenyue’s discomfort, Han Yu curved his mouth slightly, “Even if it was me, that’s fine. Wife, have you missed me these past few days?”
“Not at all!” Su Wenyue replied without a second thought. Though she had grown accustomed to Han Yu’s manner during her time at the Han Family, her face still blushed. She wanted to argue with Han Yu, but where was that guy’s hand going? Rascal!
“Han Yu, stop it, or someone else will see.” Su Wenyue was very bashful, especially being at her mother’s home. If someone caught them, it would be so embarrassing. Yet Han Yu was not only bold but also shameless, leaving her feeling resentful yet helpless.
“Yo, Brother-in-law has arrived, and I wasn’t informed by the servants.
Coming over this early in the morning, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet. You’re too anxious.” Su Hengxuan, upon entering, caught sight of the intimate couple and his eyelid twitched. His tone towards Han Yu became unfriendly. This guy had actually come to the Su Family to seduce his sister.
Su Wenyue, hearing Su Hengxuan’s voice, pushed Han Yu away forcefully, leaping off him, her face as red as an apple. Such unlucky timing to be caught by her Second Brother! With his penchant for teasing, Su Wenyue wished she could dig a hole and hide. It was all Han Yu’s fault. She glared at him fiercely; it was his lack of restraint that led to this situation, despite her warnings. Otherwise, how could they have been caught by her Second Brother?
Possibly realizing how embarrassed Su Wenyue was, Su Hengxuan, for once, did not tease her, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief and calm her emotions.
“Second Brother, did you come to see me for something?” Su Wenyue tried to act normal, her face gradually losing some of its blush.
Su Hengxuan stared at Su Wenyue for a couple of seconds before a smile spread across his face. He found a stool and sat down, leisurely making himself a cup of tea, “The diagram you sent back last time through Xiao Xi, I’ve found its origin. It’s indeed from the outer domain. You mentioned you wanted to plant it at the zhuangzi, but if we ship it now it won’t make it for the planting season. We’ll have to wait until next year. I’ve already arranged with the outer domain businessman, so he’ll send the seeds earlier next year.”
“Really? That’s great! Second Brother, you’re the best; I love you to death!”
Hearing that Su Hengxuan had found what she wanted so quickly, all Su Wenyue’s previous emotions instantly turned into excitement. She was about to throw herself at Su Hengxuan in joy when Han Yu, noticing her intention, intercepted her first. As if joking, how could he let his wife throw herself into the arms of another man, even if that man was his cousin? It seemed his wife had no awareness in this regard, and he would certainly need to teach her in the future.
Su Hengxuan, noticing Han Yu’s possessive gesture, sneered internally, feeling very displeased. What was this guy implying? His dearly pampered sister, whom he had watched grow up, was snatched away by this wolf, and now he even barred their sibling affection. How unreasonable!
