Chapter 374: Chapter 381: Unwilling to Suffer a Loss


    However, Chi Feifei, having encountered a huge change and undergone those unbearable events, clung to Han Yu as a drowning person seizes a piece of driftwood, seeing him as the savior of her life, and thus was unwilling to let go even though she knew the truth.


    “Yes, it’s really not worth it for a man as fickle as you.” Su Wenyue still sneered coldly, but could not hide her heartbroken disappointment.


    Seeing his daughter-inw like this, Han Yu felt greatly pained, but thinking of the n he had firmly decided upon, he had no choice but to harden his heart. His tone suddenly changed, his expression cooling down: “Mrs. Su, what are you talking about? It seems I’ve been too indulgent with you. It’smon for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. At home, I do not keep a concubine. I just have a woman outside, and I haven’t brought her to our home. What are you making such a fuss for? A wife should learn to be virtuous.”


    Chi Feifei had been feeling somewhat deste, but now seeing Han Yu suddenly bing so tough, hope surged within her again. Watching Su Wenyue being chastised by Han Yu, she felt an immense sense of satisfaction. The burning sensation on her face from Aunt Li’s p no longer felt so painful, and she eagerly anticipated the developments toe.


    “What did you say, Han Yu?” Su Wenyue doubted her own hearing, especially since Han Yu’s attitude had changed so rapidly that she was struggling to keep up.


    “What I said, matters concerning men outside should not concern you, nor are they for you to manage. You only need to perform your role as Madam Han well. As long as you remain obedient, I won’t disturb your position, otherwise…”


    “Otherwise what? You want to divorce me? Han Yu, you’ve really gone far. What did you tell me back then? Now you actuallymit such ungrateful acts, I must be blind to have relied on a man like you.”


    Seeing Su Wenyue so heartbroken, Han Yu felt a painful tug at his heart, hating that he could not immediately exin everything to his daughter-inw. But this was not a time to act on impulse; his daughter-inw’s safety was paramount. If he did not y out this act well, she would be in danger once he left.


    “Su Wenyue, don’t use the past to threaten me. Your Su Family is only a merchant family, nothing so remarkable. Stop bringing up the small favors your family once did for me. I was just a farmer back then, and People from Su Family looked down on me. Now that I have be a sixth-rank Commander Wei, a proper official of the Imperial Court, do you think I would still be threatened by your Su Family!”


    Deliberately making his words more unpleasant, Han Yu hoped Su Wenyue would understand the hints in his words. Although his daughter-inw could sometimes be foolish, she was reliable at crucial moments and intelligent as well, which was one of the reasons Han Yu had taken the current step. As long as his daughter-inw grasped his meaning, things would be easier.


    Su Wenyue was angry, of course, but she had noticed something was off, especially from the words said by Han Yu. If it had been other men speaking so, perhaps it would have been out of forgetfulness and betrayal, but Han Yu was not like that, especially considering the Su Family was no ordinary merchant family. These words seemed more like acting.<div>


    Exactly, it was an act. A thought shed through Su Wenyue’s mind. Initially, it was just a guess, but now she was increasingly convinced; Han Yu would not perform this charade for her alone but for others watching. This realization made her instantly vignt; there had to be a grave crisis that Han Yu was facing topel him tomunicate danger to her in such a way. She thus yed along with Han Yu, because if acting was necessary, then they should do it convincingly.


    “Han Yu, how can you say such things? How my father and big brother treated you, and now that you’ve been promoted you disown everything. You heartless creature, if you think I will tolerate this woman, you’re mistaken. As long as I am in Han Mansion for a day, this woman should not even dream of stepping foot inside!”


    Upon hearing his daughter-inw’s words, Han Yu knew that she had understood his intentions; otherwise, her response would have been different. Indeed, his daughter-inw was clever. With his n progressing and her cooperation, the weight on his heart lessened. Continuing with the charade, he spoke to Su Wenyue: “Don’t be ungrateful, woman. My decision is not something a woman like you can influence. If you can’t even tolerate concubines and mistresses, if you truly don’t wish to stay in the mansion, you’re wee to pack up and leave for the Zhuangzi!”


    There it was! As soon as Su Wenyue heard Han Yu’s words, she understood the purpose of this entire act. However, she could not fathom the extent of danger Han Yu was in, that he had to resort to such means to send her messages. Her mind raced with thoughts, but outwardly, she continued to y her role in ordance with Han Yu’s intentions.


    “Fine, Han Yu, for a woman from the Brothel, you treat me like this. After all my devoted feelings for you, fine! You said it, don’t regret itter. I’ll leave now, make room in Han Mansion for you and this shameless woman!” Su Wenyue said, tears falling, her face a picture of grief and despair, her voice resolute.


    Han Yu, knowing that his daughter-inw had caught on and was only pretending, still felt an unbearable pang of sorrow, but he could only stand there coldly, seemingly indifferent.


    Chi Feifei hadn’t expected the situation to develop to this extent and was overjoyed, being careful not to show any hint of it. Instead, she put on an innocent look while looking at Su Wenyue, hoping to add fuel to the fire: “Older Sister Su, don’t be like this. The Master actually values you. It’smon for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. You should get used to it, sister, and we’ll take care of the Master together.”


    Seeing that Han Yu said nothing more, Su Wenyue knew there were no further instructions. With the situation soplex, she did not want to dy any longer and was eager to make arrangements, to ensure her family and child were settled safely so Han Yu could focus on his matters in peace. Thinking this way, she covered her face with her hands and pretended to leave, not knowing that Chi Feifei would make another move. This woman truly needed to be taught a lesson!


    Su Wenyue had no intention of humiliating herself. Lifting her head and ring furiously at Chi Feifei, she said, “You lowly woman, daring to steal my husband, you’ve bewitched him! I will not let you, this vixen, go unpunished.”


    Su Wenyue moved to p Chi Feifei, and Aunt Li and others stepped in to help Su Wenyue, dealing Chi Feifei an even harsher beating than before. Apart from Su Wenyueprehending Han Yu’s intentions, Aunt Li and the rest believed that the Master was genuinely discarding the Madam for this fox, so they did not go easy on this shameless woman.


    Seeing the actions of his daughter-inw, Han Yu’s mouth twitched, his face straight, but his eyes twinkled withughter. His daughter-inw really knew how to ensure she didn’t get the short end of the stick. Watching Chi Feifei yelp under the beating without intervening, he waited until his daughter-inw had vented enough before he slowly spoke, “Su Wenyue, that’s enough, this is not a ce for you to misbehave.”
