As a result of it was Su Wenyue’s three-day return go to after the wedding, the Han relations all acquired up early. Nevertheless, since farmhouses often get an early begin for farm work, that they had solely began a bit sooner than regular. After having breakfast, Su Wenyue and Han Yu set off within the ox cart. As a result of Han Yu had given directions, Chen Shuang intentionally averted folks and introduced the muntjac early to attend for them outdoors the village, to keep away from attracting idle chatter and gossip reaching the Han relations’ ears.

It was solely then that Su Wenyue discovered that Han Yu had not solely caught pheasants and hares final evening but in addition a muntjac, such a giant bounty. Seeing his actions now, it appeared he actually had her finest pursuits at coronary heart; she felt reassured and a cheerful smile appeared on her face, “Large Brother Chen, thanks.”

“No want, no want, Ah Yu and I’ve grown up collectively since we have been little, what’s this little bit of trivial matter? Ah Yu isn’t like me, a loner. He has such a giant household at house, and typically it’s not so handy for him to do issues.” Chen Shuang, true to his title, was a really forthright and beneficiant particular person, smiling and waving his hand.

Since Su Wenyue and Han Yu needed to proceed their journey, they didn’t chat a lot with Chen Shuang. After watching Chen Shuang go away, Han Yu checked out Su Wenyue thoughtfully, with a considerably deep gaze that made Su Wenyue really feel responsible and considerably puzzled, not figuring out what she had completed improper to be checked out with such unnerving eyes by Han Yu.

“What’s improper, why are you taking a look at me like that? Do I’ve flowers on my face?” Su Wenyue mentioned with a pressured chuckle, touching her personal face.

“How are you aware Chen Shuang? I bear in mind you by no means got here to Xiaohe Village earlier than marrying me, proper? And also you haven’t left house these final two days. But, the best way you acted simply now seemed very acquainted, as in the event you had recognized Chen Shuang for a very long time. It makes me very curious.”

If Chen Shuang hadn’t been a brother who had grown up with him since childhood, and Han Yu wasn’t completely sure of Chen Shuang’s familiarity and understanding, he would have been much more puzzled. Since they hadn’t seen one another earlier than, how did Su Wenyue know Chen Shuang?

The smile on Su Wenyue’s face stiffened for a second, however she managed to regular her feelings and didn’t give herself away, stopping Han Yu from noticing that one thing was amiss. Nevertheless, she blamed herself for her carelessness. What had she mentioned improper to have Han Yu scrutinizing her like this? So this was the place the issue lay.

In her earlier life, due to Han Yu, Su Wenyue had been very conversant in Chen Shuang, so she naturally used that acquainted angle, forgetting that she was the brand new daughter-in-law who had simply entered the Han household’s door not way back, not even acquainted with Han Yu but. This conduct appeared very uncommon. Nevertheless, Su Wenyue quickly discovered a motive and spoke with feigned calmness.

“What’s so unusual about that? Who within the village doesn’t know concerning the relationship between you and Large Brother Chen, that you simply grew up collectively as shut brothers? Even Baofu is aware of, so in fact, I do too. In addition to, I seen how relaxed you have been when speaking to Large Brother Chen simply now, not chilly like regular. The 2 of you have to have a unprecedented relationship. To guess this isn’t arduous in any respect. Do you actually suppose I’m silly? Let me let you know, I’m really fairly intelligent! ”

Su Wenyue shifted the matter onto her nephew Baofu. Baofu was finding out and studying along with her, so it was regular for him to inform her this stuff. Han Yu ought to imagine her, proper? Su Wenyue watched Han Yu’s expression as she spoke, noticing he nonetheless seemed half-convinced and felt helpless. This man was too shrewd and suspicious; the slightest slip could be caught by him.

“What now? What’s improper once more? I solely acted so properly in direction of Large Brother Chen in your sake. In any other case, do you suppose I actually like coping with you tough males, you smelly guys? Don’t you perceive gratitude?”

Su Wenyue mentioned irritably, which really made Han Yu really feel that her angle was much more regular. However he nonetheless had questions in his coronary heart, but couldn’t pinpoint what the issue was. Su Wenyue’s clarification didn’t appear to have something improper with it, however he simply felt that one thing was off, at all times feeling there was one thing not fairly proper about her.

Typically, Han Yu might even see a way of thriller and age-old weariness in Su Wenyue, although fleeting, it felt really current, making it all of the stranger. She was clearly just a bit lady who was doted on by her mother and father, at all times sheltered, typically naively easy. It was contradicting to search out such emotions in her, and it additionally stirred his want to analyze.

“Why are you continue to daydreaming? me like that, have you ever lastly realized I’m fairly? I’ve been saying, somebody is with you every single day, how might you not discover? May you be too embarrassed? Hee hee, I’m not kidding anymore; don’t we nonetheless must journey? Hurry up. I haven’t seen my father and mom for therefore lengthy that I miss them to dying!” Su Wenyue mentioned, her eyes reddening, unknown to anybody the thrill in her coronary heart.

In her earlier life, as a result of she held a grudge in opposition to her mother and father, and since her life within the Han household was lower than passable, Su Wenyue grew much more resentful in direction of her father, who was insistent on marrying her into the Han household, and she or he additionally grew indignant with the An Household for not firmly opposing it. She didn’t return house on her three-day go to after the wedding, and later her visits to her mom’s household grew to become even rarer. After she adopted that man, she utterly broke off contact along with her mom’s household. Thus, she actually hadn’t seen Mr. Su and the An Household for a really very long time.

Han Yu was unaware of the that means behind Su Wenyue’s phrases, considering she was simply displaying a daughter’s sentimentality, pampered by her mother and father since childhood, now married and inevitably lacking them. Simply two or three days felt like an eternity to her, therefore her girlish demeanor. He felt much more pity for her and briefly put aside his doubts.

“Alright, actually, you’re so delicate, having left house for under a short while and about to cry. In addition to, it’s not an extended distance to journey. If want be, I’ll take you again to your mom’s household extra usually, in the event you behave properly, that’s.” Han Yu couldn’t assist however set situations even at this second.

Su Wenyue, instantly ignoring the situation Han Yu talked about, requested him for a promise, “You will need to hold your phrase!”

“Alright, what’s there to it? Maintain on tight, I’m rushing up.” Han Yu mentioned as he flicked the whip, the ox pulled the picket wheel cart with creaking sounds. In comparison with a horse carriage, the ox cart was slower and fewer regular. Often, when going into the town, Han Yu most well-liked to stroll, because it was even sooner than the cart. However as we speak, going to the daughter-in-law’s mom’s house, along with his spouse and the presents for the return go to on board, they might solely journey at a leisurely tempo.

Su Wenyue’s mom’s household, the Su Household, was not too removed from their Xinhe Village, but not too shut both. It took roughly two hours by ox cart, and though that they had set out so early, they’d solely arrive round midday.

“Previous grasp, Madam, Miss is again, Miss is again!”
