Chapter 569: Chapter 575: The Truth of the Matter

 

Master Su and his son did not know that Su Wenyue had secret guards at her disposal. Hearing her words only solidified their belief that Su Wenyue was trying to deceive them. The daughter/younger sister had been spending her entire day at the Feng Family Manor, and she had spent the morning wandering the garden with the three children. Where could she have received such news? And she seemed to know even more than they did. It appeared that the daughter/younger sister was also terribly worried, so her words were spoken without a well-prepared draft beforehand.

“Younger sister, stop making trouble. What exactly do you know? I know you are worried about your brother-in-law, but Dad is right: Han Yu is busy with important matters outside, and he might not be able to attend to everything at home. It’s only been a few days without any messages; perhaps he ran into some issues, or it might be inconvenient to communicate. Just stop guessing wildly and scaring yourself. Stay home with the children, and in a few days, your brother-in-law will surely come back safely—don’t worry!” Su Hengyi said, and as he comforted her, he even patted Su Wenyue’s head, his tone filled with a touch of indulgence and fondness, as if truly nothing had happened, and it was all Su Wenyue’s overthinking.

At this moment, despite her worry for Han Yu, Su Wenyue couldn’t help but feel a desire to laugh at her dad and elder brother’s behavior. No wonder everyone outside called Dad and elder brother foxes of the business world. Look at their ability to speak nonsense with their eyes open, trying to deceive her. However, if she hadn’t already received a message from her secret guard, she might actually have been fooled by them.

“Daddy, elder brother, there’s no need to keep trying to hide it from me. I’ve already said if I know, then I really do,” Su Wenyue finished speaking and seeing the dubious and helpless expressions on her dad and elder brother’s faces, she couldn’t help but laugh lightly. It was only in front of her that Dad and elder brother would reveal such a side.

“Younger sister, what exactly do you know?” Su Hengyi, seeing his sister still insisting on her statement, began to feel uncertain as well. However, if it were true that the sister had heard news of Han Yu’s misfortune, she would likely have already been in disarray and not as calm as she was currently, exhibiting at most some signs of worry.

“Daddy, elder brother, husband was injured by an assassin, but the situation is not as serious as you might be worried about. The news being spread outside is the work of people with ill-intentions who are not trustworthy,” Su Wenyue decided not to keep her father and brother in suspense any longer and spoke straightforwardly to ease their concerns.

“Younger sister, so you really do know! Why didn’t you say it earlier! You had me and Dad…” Su Hengyi trailed off with a sheepish touch of his nose, unable to continue. After all, he felt guilty for deceiving her, even if the original intent was for his sister’s welfare. This didn’t change the fact of the matter, but it was unexpected that what his sister said was actually true, which put him at ease as he glanced at his dad, both sharing an awkwardness of being exposed.

“Miss Yue, we only just learned about your husband’s condition, and… how did you also come to know? Could it be one of those overly talkative servants from the Zhuangzi?!” Feng Jianling said, his eyes flashing with a trace of ruthlessness.

As someone who firmly occupied the position of Young Master, Feng Jianling was never a man of mercy or soft-heartedness. If the issue arose from the servants at the Zhuangzi, he would not tolerate it. However, after speaking, he felt something was amiss. Judging by Su Wenyue’s tone, she not only knew the crazed rumors being spread outside but also the real condition of Han Yu, information that the servants would not be privy to. Perhaps Han Yu had left some means of communication with Su Wenyue before leaving.

Feng Jianling quickly understood the reason behind this, and so did everyone else present. They were all smart people, and this wasn’t a difficult thing to guess.

“Lady Yue, did your son-in-law send you a message?” Although this was phrased as a question, the certainty in Master Su’s voice confirmed it. Due to the son-in-law’s commitments outside, especially after the incident last time, Master Su was paying extra attention to his daughter’s every move, especially during such times. Master Su was fully aware of everything Su Wenyue did today, and the only thing that could have escaped his control was his son-in-law’s arrangements.

Su Wenyue, without concealing anything, nodded. Although Han Yu had left the message for a certain purpose and it could not be known to others, the people present were trustworthy, and she could not keep it from them. Some of the arrangements she had with Han Yu also required their assistance.

“Yes, I just received a message from my husband, and I am aware of the incident that occurred previously, as well as the current situation outside,” she said.

Before Su Wenyue’s admission, everyone had suspected that this was the case, but hearing it from Su Wenyue herself made it feel different. At least now, Su Wenyue came across not as the naïve little girl who needed their protection and knew nothing but as someone more capable.

This kind of news, not even known to them, was already in Su Wenyue’s possession early on. Regardless of whether it was sent by Han Yu or not, the fact remained a fact, and none overlooked Su Wenyue’s statement, “I also know about the outside situation.” With these words alone, they could no longer simply define Su Wenyue as a woman confined to the inner house.

Master Su and his son were long aware of the extent to which their son-in-law cared for their daughter. However, following this incident, it was clear that some changes had occurred between the daughter and son-in-law, prompting the son-in-law to start transferring power into the daughter’s hands. Although this represented pressure and responsibility, it was also a positive development.

In the eyes of Master Su and his son, external indulgence, so-called love and affection, could never equate to the importance of holding real power. No matter how much the son-in-law dotes on the daughter now, no matter how genuine his feelings, when the daughter ages and her beauty fades, no one can guarantee the son-in-law will not abandon her. If the daughter takes this opportunity to seize control now, she will be able to live well in the future, even if the son-in-law’s affection fades.

For the rest of the people present, whether the Marquis Bei’an and his son or the Feng family father and son, none were heartless men. They all cherished their first wives, yet they rarely shared external matters with them, especially matters as important as these. This wasn’t because they didn’t trust their wives, but rather due to societal views. They believed women should obey their husbands, raise children, and manage the inner house, and outside affairs were not as simple as those of the inner house. They were worried their wives wouldn’t understand, which could cause problems. Therefore, Han Yu bestowing such responsibilities onto Su Wenyue was not just a matter of trust but also a recognition of her capabilities.
