Chapter 577: Chapter Five Hundred Eighty-three
“`
Su Wenyue arrived at the military camp, and Liu Xiu knew about it instantly. After experiencing previous betrayals and many other issues, Liu Xiu started paying more attention to certain matters and simultaneously increased his control over the military camp, ensuring that he was inford of every little movent.
“Han Yu’s wife has co?” Liu Xiu’s eyebrows raised when he heard the report from his subordinates, he put down the pen in his hand, his countenance a mix of anticipation and anxiety, which was hard to read. Since he was in front of his confidants, Liu Xiu did not particularly hide his thoughts.
“Yes, she arrived not long ago, and she has already been taken to General Han’s tent.”
“That’s good. Han Yu has sustained such serious injuries; he needs good care. Having his wife co to take care of him will certainly be more ticulous and proper than others.” Liu Xiu seed to express happiness for Han Yu, but his subordinate couldn’t quite believe that their master was truly happy. The master’s thoughts were becoming more and more inscrutable. Though he guessed as much in his mind, he did not dare show any of it on his face and just agreed with Liu Xiu’s words.
“Indeed, my n said Madam Han brought a lot of things with her, reportedly including a considerable amount of tonics and dicinal materials, undoubtedly for nourishing General Han’s health. With Madam Han looking after General Han, My Lord need not worry.”
“Of course, Han Yu and his wife have always had a great relationship. If he saw his wife coming, he would probably be overjoyed.” As Liu Xiu spoke, a smile finally appeared on his face, happy for Han Yu, but soon after recalling sothing, that smile faded, replaced by conflict and contradiction.
Liu Xiu also knew he shouldn’t, regardless of whether Su Wenyue was the person he had been looking for or not. rely considering she was Han Yu’s wife, he shouldn’t have any other thoughts. A friend’s wife must not be coveted, especially since Han Yu was a good brother who saved his life and a friend, as well as one of his most talented and loyal subordinates, his right-hand man. Regardless of the reason, any such thoughts were inappropriate.
Yet sotis knowing is one thing, and managing to do so is quite another. Liu Xiu now had fewer complicated thoughts, just wanting to see Su Wenyue, to confirm whether she was the woman who saved him that day. As for the rest, he hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Thinking this, Liu Xiu took a step towards where Han Yu was, but upon reaching the entrance of the tent, he realized how foolish his actions were. Indeed, wanting to see Su Wenyue was not sothing to be done at this ti. At this mont, everyone knew that Han Yu and his wife would need to spend so tender ti together upon reuniting. Anyone with any sense wouldn’t disturb them.
The more he thought about it, the less Liu Xiu could restrain himself. Although many events had led him to trust Han Yu completely, everyone has a dark side. The thought that Su Wenyue might be the person he was desperately searching for and the idea of her with other n was unbearable. Wouldn’t going there and interrupting be just perfect?
But as much as he thought about it, Liu Xiu eventually let his better judgnt prevail and refrained from making such a foolish move. He knew the kind of man Han Yu was. Any inappropriate behavior on his part would surely raise Han Yu’s suspicions and create a rift between them. Han Yu was a man of great talent and loyalty, too valuable a resource to lose. Besides, it was all just speculation; he couldn’t be certain that Han Yu’s wife was indeed the person he was searching for.
The subordinate felt that his master’s thoughts were increasingly hard to grasp. It seed like the master was in a hurry to do sothing, but then he stopped and stood there, seemingly deep in thought.
“My Lord?” Seeing that Liu Xiu had been standing there in a daze for a while, the subordinate called out softly.
Liu Xiu snapped back to reality and saw the puzzled and worried look on his subordinate’s face. Naturally, he wasn’t going to enlighten him; instead, he gave an order: “Send soone to look after Han Yu; his wife is not used to the poor conditions of the military camp, being new to the place.”
After saying this, Liu Xiu added, “Also, keep an eye out for any developnts over there, and report back to at any ti.”
“Yes, I understand. I will arrange it imdiately.” The subordinate was taken aback by such orders from Liu Xiu, wondering if he had misread the situation. It felt highly inappropriate to him that the master was showing such excessive concern for Madam Han. But with the master’s authority being greater than ever, he could only comply with the order, daring not to raise any doubts or objections.
After the subordinate left, Liu Xiu returned to his tent and sat down at his previous desk, but he did not continue reviewing official docunts. Instead, he pulled a silk scarf from his chest and began to space out with a look of soone troubled by emotions.
“Could it really be you?” Liu Xiu whispered softly.
——-
Su Wenyue conversed with Han Yu for a while and, considering that he was still injured and that she had co to take care of him, it made no sense for Han Yu to look after her in return. Thus, she refrained from further conversation and took her companion to the temporarily set-up small kitchen to get busy. She personally made so light and tasty dishes for Han Yu and also stewed a pigeon soup to nourish his body.
Su Wenyue’s culinary skills were indisputable. Even ordinary dishes beca distinct delicacies once they ca out of her hands, never tasting bland in the slightest.
“How is it? I haven’t cooked in a long ti; my skills haven’t declined, have they?” Su Wenyue watched Han Yu eat and asked with a smile.
“Not bad at all, my wife’s skills are still as exceptional as ever, delicious, just too delicious!” Han Yu savored the al specially prepared by his wife with imnse satisfaction. One could hardly be picky about the food in the military camp, just being full was usually enough. Although Liu Xiu had arranged for a separate chef for him because of his injury, the taste could not compare to what he got at ho, let alone the dishes prepared by Su Wenyue. He was not praising his own wife unduly, but her cooking talent was simply unparalleled. She must have learned it from sowhere outstanding.
“As long as it’s delicious, you should eat more. Look at how you’ve slimd down these days. You need to nourish yourself properly. I’ll cook for you every day from now on and ensure you are taken care of well.” She did know her als wouldn’t disappoint, but she still felt quite pleased by Han Yu’s complints. In fact, she was a lazy person and hadn’t cooked for a long ti since there was a chef at ho and a little girl proficient in cooking. Now, her desire to care for Han Yu had her back at it, and she even joined him in sipping the soup.
“As long as it’s tasty, you should eat more.” Su Wenyue said with a curved smile.
Originally, Han Yu was recuperating from his injuries in the camp, but since Su Wenyue arrived, things couldn’t continue as before. Although people respected Han Yu’s status and did not speak out, it wasn’t convenient for a woman to frequent a place solely occupied by n. Therefore, Han Yu decided to take Su Wenyue with him to a small town not far away, where they rented a little courtyard.
