Chapter 333: 341: A Matter of Principle



Han Yu thought about how his Wife had just been scared so badly and didn’t want to question her further. After all, he would find out once they got back; he carried her onto the horse carriage and they returned home.

“Husband, put me down. I can walk by myself. I am not injured, and there are so many people outside, it’s embarrassing,” Su Wenyue whispered in Han Yu’s ear. She was embarrassed to be carried by Han Yu, especially since she was perfectly fine, yet Han Yu insisted on carrying her and wouldn’t put her down, which left her feeling helpless.

“Isn’t that an injury on your neck?” Han Yu’s expression clearly showed he thought Su Wenyue was speaking nonsense.

“The wound on my neck is nothing serious, and besides, you walk with your Legs, not with a neck injury,” Su Wenyue responded with even more frustration, and a hint of scorn for Han Yu. As she spoke, she even shook her Legs to prove her point, but unfortunately, Han Yu had made up his mind, not swayed by her arguments. After much fuss, she was still tightly held by Han Yu.

“Behave and stop fussing. You’ve just had such a big fright; how can you walk on your own? You are My Wife, and it’s very normal for me to carry you; there’s nothing embarrassing about it.”

Han Yu spoke and then held her even tighter. Thinking of his Wife’s pale and weak appearance earlier, as if she could hardly catch her breath, he was still trembling inside and couldn’t calm down. Only by holding her in his arms could he feel the reality of her being safe; thus, he was determined not to let her down. He didn’t care one bit about embarrassment, let alone when holding his own Wife, it was just that his Wife was too modest.

Knowing that Han Yu had made up his mind, Su Wenyue just buried her head in his chest, seeing the crowd outside.

Without Su Wenyue’s company, Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang’s group lost their spirits, and besides having shopped all morning and having purchased quite a few things, they only learned of Su Wenyue’s incident once they got home and immediately asked what had happened.

There were some things Han Yu didn’t want or couldn’t explain in detail; he simply said that Su Wenyue had encountered bandits and been injured by them. Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang were both worried and wanted to come see Su Wenyue, but Han Yu stopped them. He knew his Daughter-in-law’s temperament, and besides, she needed to rest well after such a fright. In truth, Han Yu just wanted to spend some quiet time alone with his Wife, without anyone disturbing them.

At this time, Su Wenyue couldn’t rest easy, first going to check on the three little ones before waiting for Qi Luo’s news. Hopefully, Qi Luo was able to elude the Government Soldiers’ pursuit. Han Yu had already sent people to meet her, but he couldn’t be sure if they had found Qi Luo yet.

Han Yu saw his Wife’s behavior and felt helpless; his Wife was always one to worry.

“My Wife, you can leave those matters to me. Just rest easy, don’t think too much, dear, sleep a little while first,” Han Yu coaxed Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue shook her head: “I’d rather wait; otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”

Han Yu had no choice but to stay with his Wife and wait, which turned out to be for the better as, before long, Qi Luo returned. However, her appearance had clearly changed; her face was grimy, smeared with something that looked like blackish mud, and she looked rather disheveled, wearing a blood-stained Coat that Su Wenyue recognized as Liu Xiu’s—it must have been to lead the Enemy away.

Indeed, upon catching Su Wenyue’s gaze, Qi Luo explained: “This Coat belonged to the Young Master. Beyond that pair of soldiers, many other Government Soldiers arrived, and I had no choice but to use this method, donning the Young Master’s Coat to draw them away.”

“How is the Young Master doing, and where did you hide him?” Su Wenyue, relieved that Qi Luo was uninjured, was concerned for the rescued Liu Xiu, after all, she had gone to great lengths to save him.

“Madam, rest assured. I arranged for the Young Master to stay with a trustworthy doctor, who can also treat his injuries. Otherwise, with the Young Master’s condition, even if he had escaped from the Government Soldiers, he probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer.”

“That’s good.” Su Wenyue nodded, satisfied with how capably Qi Luo had handled everything, not only completing the tasks she had given but also managing them extremely well.

Han Yu, on the other hand, was not pleased, and despite Qi Luo having successfully done what Su Wenyue tasked her with, his expression showed no satisfaction. He recognized Qi Luo’s abilities and her familiarity with the surrounding area of Yiyang Prefecture, thinking she could at least help his Wife to some extent, and he held Qi Luo’s lifeline, so there was no worry of her having ulterior motives. This was why he allowed Qi Luo to stay with his Wife. Before he had placed Qi Luo with his Wife, he had made it clear that the most important thing was his Wife’s safety. Now that such an incident had occurred, Han Yu had already figured out how to deal with it.

Seeing Han Yu’s demeanor, Su Wenyue knew that he was likely dissatisfied with Qi Luo, but Qi Luo hadn’t done anything wrong. Given the circumstances, she had ordered Qi Luo to do so, naturally, she wouldn’t let Han Yu place blame on Qi Luo.

“Husband, I owe a lot to Qi Luo for being with me this time. If it weren’t for her warning, I wouldn’t have known that Ba Lang was Mr. Sun’s man, and I might have been at a great disadvantage,” Su Wenyue praised Qi Luo.

Han Yu understood his Wife’s intentions but did not concur with them. It didn’t matter whether Qi Luo had merits or not; as long as she did one thing right, he would not blame her, and that was to ensure his Wife’s safety. If she failed in that, no matter how well she did in other areas, he wouldn’t care.

“Husband, I don’t care, you can’t blame Qi Luo. She didn’t want to leave at the time, insisting on protecting me. It was I who threatened and ordered her to do so. Didn’t you say you would give Qi Luo to me? Then I’m her master, and you shouldn’t interfere in her affairs.” Su Wenyue said rather imperiously, having promised to take responsibility, she had to keep her word and couldn’t let Han Yu take it out on Qi Luo.

Unfortunately for Su Wenyue, Han Yu wasn’t so easily fooled and rarely changed his mind once decided, especially on matters of principle. However, he couldn’t be too harsh with his Wife either.
