16 Chapter 16: Petty Mind
Translator: 549690339
Han Yu felt that his daughter-in-laws temperant was still unpredictable, so he had to pick the most serious and frightening consequences to scare her. This way, she wouldnt dare to entertain such ideas in the future. Indeed, in this era, if a woman really dared to commit such an act of infidelity, the consequences would be exactly as grave as he described.
So when Su Wenyue heard Han Yu say this, she was genuinely moved, especially by the guilt that ca with doing sothing wrong. Although, that was all in her previous life. After Su Wenyue had left with that man, she didnt know what Han Yus reaction truly was; at the ti, she only felt more delighted the angrier Han Yu got. Now she thought about it, if that man hadnt had such a strong background, which deterred people from causing trouble at his mansion, she didnt know what end she would have t.
As for Han Yu, Su Wenyue didnt think he lacked the courage to confront the situation. Moreover, Han Yu had gradually risen through the ranks, reaching the clouds, and eventually beca the powerful Pri Minister, whom even that man didnt dare to provoke easily. That man even considered sending her back to Han Yu to deal with as he saw fit, but that idea was later pacified by her coaxing, and partly because he truly found it hard to part with her, so he dropped the idea.
Su Wenyue didnt hide her departure from the Han Family in her previous life. In fact, many people knew where she had gone, yet Han Yu never once ca looking for her. Now, upon reflection, she realized that Han Yu had long been dissatisfied with her. If it werent for their child, perhaps he wouldve thought about divorcing her sooner. He probably didnt co looking for her out of disdain, or maybe he simply didnt care.
Back then, Su Wenyue had already deeply mired herself in the sordid affairs of that mansion, busy competing with the won in the backyard for favor and solidifying her position in front of that man. So after feeling uneasy for so ti, she completely pushed Han Yu out of her mind. Now that she reflected on Han Yus attitude, she felt quite uneasy inside.
Han Yu, with all the effort he put into frightening and instructing his daughter-in-law, found out that Su Wenyue was not even listening, her mind wandering far away. She was nowhere near the effect he was aiming for, which made him feel both angry and helpless, and his tone beca even heavier.
Su Wenyue, Im being serious with you. Dont think Im trying to scare you. You are young and have been spoiled by your father and mother since childhood, so no one has told you about these things. You dont understand the severity of the consequences, especially those nonsensical storybooks you read that disregard all manners and customs with tales of talented n and beautiful won, reckless romance, and leading people astray. Youre not allowed to read those useless books anymore, have you heard?
Got it, Su Wenyue rolled her eyes. Why hadnt she realized before that Han Yu had the potential to be such a nag, incessantly harping on in her ear, which hardly matched his usual deanor.
Su Wenyue didnt know that it was her good behavior after marrying into the Han Family, coupled with the little flaws she displayed to change Han Yus impression of her, which not only awakened the manipulative and repressed nature within Han Yu but also finally made him include her in his domain. It led him to feel the urge to discipline her, turning it into a habit that later on, he just couldnt shake off. After countless failed attempts to resist, Su Wenyue saw through Han Yus nature and even thought about having a daughter to shift Han Yus attention, but alas
Han Yu was completely at a loss seeing Su Wenyues entirely improper attitude. Training a good daughter-in-law wasnt sothing that could be achieved overnight; it required slow and steady discipline. It was only then that Han Yu realized the topic had drifted too far off course, although it was he who had first led it astray. The initial discussion about the mistake Su Wenyue made hadnt been resolved yet!
Forget it, I wont talk about this with you now. Lets get back to the main point. Tell , since youve admitted your wrongdoing, what do you plan to do? Dont think you can get away with it by dragging the topic off track!
What do you an, what to do? Ive already told you the truth. You should be encouraging ; otherwise, next ti, I wont dare tell you the truth again. Besides, I know I was wrong, and I wont make the sa mistake in the future. How about I make a new pair of shoes for Father-in-law and Mother-in-law again? But you cant sell out and talk about this.
Although Su Wenyues reasoning was skewed, it did make so sense, and Han Yu felt his daughter-in-law deserved so encouragent for being frank with him. So he decided to let Su Wenyue off temporarily, Ill keep this matter a secret. As for making new shoes for your father and mother, theres no need. My mother may not have learned embroidery, and her embroidery may not be as good as yours, but her needle and thread skills are the result of decades of practice. The shoes she makes are comfortable and durable, we dont need yours. Just rember to handmake all my clothes from now on.
Once he had brought Su Wenyue into his domain and accepted this creature called wife who belonged completely to him, Han Yus possessiveness was very strong, even his birth mother had to understand her place. But he spoke with his typical disdain.
Su Wenyue, hearing Han Yu say this, knew that the matter was past and without significant repercussions; she felt relieved and her thoughts turned to other things. Slling the odd scent in the air, she frowned in disgust, Yuck, wont you go take a bath quickly? The sll of sweat on you is nauseating.
As Su Wenyue spoke, she pinched her little nose and waved her handkerchief with disgust as if trying to drive away the unpleasant sll in the air, another little gesture that made Han Yus teeth itch with irritation.
Han Yu bit his teeth; this little daughter-in-law, given an inch, would take a mile, and even dared to dislike her own manit was simply asking for a lesson! Han Yu, always acting swiftly and decisively, grabbed Su Wenyue and covered her talkative little mouth with his own, kissing her hard. If it werent for the fact that he really was dirty and knew his wife liked cleanliness, he definitely wouldnt have let Su Wenyue go so easily.
Su Wenyue was fuming inside. She was already a bit of a clean freak, and this filthy man, content with his own dirtiness, had now implicated her, which was unbearable! The thing she most detested was this; when she was with that man before, she never allowed him to touch her there, as saliva is so dirty.
Finally released by Han Yu, Su Wenyues first action was to wipe her mouth with her handkerchief, much to Han Yus annoyance. If it werent for the fact that it was getting late, he would have taught Su Wenyue a much harder lesson. This little daughter-in-law needed to be disciplined! But since she was already his wife, she wasnt going anywhere. She could wait for him; he didnt believe he couldnt handle one little girl, especially one who thought she could look down on him!
Han Yu was a very confident man, which sotis translated into a touch of arrogance and vanity in certain matters. Usually, it was he who looked down on others; when had it ever been his turn to be looked down upon, especially by his own daughter-in-law? Han Yu decisively beca petty.
