Han Yu did not leave immediately after bringing Su Wenyue back to the Su
Family, but entered the Su Mansion with her. Han Yu had matters he wanted to discuss with Master Su, knowing that besides him, Master Su was aware of the things that Su Wenyue saw in her dreams. Perhaps the last time in the study room of the Su Family, when Su Hengxuan had sent him away, it was probably for this reason.
The sudden return of Su Wenyue did surprise Mr. and Mrs. Su, but having their daughter back was, of course, a joyous occasion. Receiving word from the servants, they happily welcomed them, coincidentally, Su Hengxuan was also at home and had not gone out.
“Yueyue, we haven’t seen each other for so long, let Mother see if you’ve changed at all. Has my daughter lost weight?” Mrs. An excitedly embraced Su Wenyue, chattering away with care and concern, while Master Su, knowing his daughter’s return must be for a reason, yet seeing the couple together, looking intimate and without signs of conflict, wondered if there might be another reason.
“Son-in-law, do you have any particular reason for coming back this time?”
Upon hearing Master Su’s question, Su Wenyue and Han Yu exchanged glances.
Su Wenyue intended to keep the matter secret to avoid her parents blaming Han Yu and was about to fabricate an excuse when Han Yu, not intending to hide anything and disregarding Su Wenyue’s deterrent look, clearly explained the whole situation.
Mr. and Mrs. Su, along with Su Hengxuan, wore unpleasant expressions after hearing the whole story, and their previously amiable demeanor towards Han Yu was gone. Han Yu understood that he was the target of their anger and prepared himself for it.
“Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, it’s my fault for not taking good care of
Lady Yue.”
“Son-in-law, I have always trusted you, which is why I entrusted my only precious daughter to you. But look at what’s happened. Since Yueyue married into the Han Family, she has suffered hardships, and there hasn’t been a single day of peace. Last time, you promised me that you would take good care of Yueyue, but what has happened? Yueyue is still bullied to the point that she can’t even stay at the Han Family and had to run back to her mother’s family. This is how you take care of Yueyue?”
Even though Master Su had high hopes for Han Yu, with his cherished daughter repeatedly bullied, he was quite dissatisfied with Han Yu.
“Father, why say so much to him? If he can’t protect my younger sister and she suffers such bullying in the Han Family, it’s better to bring her back home. If it doesn’t work out, let her divorce him, and we’ll find her a better family. Otherwise, if she prefers to stay at home, that’s fine too. Mr. and Mrs. Su can surely provide for her,” Su Hengxuan said, both as a threat to Han Yu and with genuine intentions. The Su brothers, notorious for doting on their sister, were more than willing to bring her back home and continue to spoil her.
Han Yu had faced his wife’s parents’ family’s reproaches with composure, but when Su Hengxuan mentioned divorce, his expression changed, “Second brother-in-law, not taking good care of Yueyue is my fault, and I accept any punishment or blame, but Yueyue is my wife, my wife for life, and I will not divorce her. Please do not speak of this again, Second brother-in-law, as I will never agree to it.”
Seeing Han Yu’s firm stance only incensed Su Hengxuan further, “Your agreement is of no importance. After all the wrongs done to my sister, do you think you can still negotiate terms with us, the Su Family?”
“Brother, don’t be like this! Father, Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Han Yu. It’s not his fault but Mrs. Wang who harbors no good intentions, always seeking to take advantage of me for her gain. Mother-in-law is eager for a grandson and, though her actions can be biased, they are somewhat understandable. Stuck in between, Han Yu is in a difficult position.”
“Sister, I am speaking up for you, and yet you still defend him. They say it right: a married daughter is like spilled water,” Su Hengxuan argued.
“Brother, I’m stating the facts. If Han Yu really wronged me, without you all mentioning it, I would have also…” Su Wenyue’s words were cut short as she saw Han Yu staring resolutely at her, deciding not to continue. That man could certainly hold a grudge.
Mr. and Mrs. Su obviously understood the rationale behind Su Wenyue’s words as they, too, were elders who could relate to the eagerness for grandchildren, making biased actions understandable. However, when such things affected their own daughter, it was harder for them to accept, especially with Mrs. Wang repeatedly causing trouble for their daughter, now pushing Yueyue to such a state. Their daughter was indeed malicious and hateful.
“Daughter, this Third Sister-in-law of yours is truly not one who brings peace of mind. It’s always her doing whenever something happens, and each time, it’s targeted at you. We need to find a solution,” Mrs. An said, wording it more delicately in front of Han Yu.
“We should divide the household. Continuing like this is not a solution. With so many family members living together, Yueyue not only suffers but also has to deal with cunning and shrewd sisters-in-law. Having been spoilt by us since childhood, she is simple-minded and no match for them. It’s only a matter of being bullied by them. It would be best to simply divide the household so that these problems are no more.” Master Su decisively offered Han Yu a solution.
“But Father, is that really feasible? Dividing the household can’t be that easy and besides…” Su Wenyue glanced at Han Yu. In reality, she had always harbored this idea but had not yet had the chance to pursue it. Previously, when Mrs. Wang had caused an uproar by bringing her family to the Han Family, Su Wenyue had wanted to take the opportunity to suggest this. However, due to Mrs. Wang’s pregnancy, she had to drop the issue. Now hearing Master Su mention it, Su Wenyue was eager to know Han Yu’s stance on the matter.
“Silly daughter, this was a condition I had set up before you married into the
Han Family. Otherwise, why do you think your father would have rested assured about your marriage? Naturally, I had planned everything for you. The Han family agreed that once you married over, they would divide the household, yet it has been so long, and the Han Family members have not mentioned it again. We didn’t bring it up since you seemed to be doing well and were happy, as our only aim is to see you well in the Han Family. We didn’t want you to be disfavored by your parents-in-law because of it. But now, it seems we don’t have to be too polite anymore, and we must go through with the division!”
“I never knew about this. How come I never heard of it?” Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Su Wenyue never knew of this condition. Thinking back to the division in her previous life, maybe it was related to the condition the Han Family had agreed to with the Su Family. Otherwise, how could the division have been so easy? As soon as she made a scene, Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law agreed.
“You didn’t know before, but now you do. Daughter, once the household is divided, you can live a good life, eat whatever you want, and you won’t have to suffer like this. Look how thin you’ve become these days.”
Su Wenyue was naturally delighted at the prospect of an early division of the household, but before she could revel in her joy, she heard Han Yu speak, “That won’t work.. Dividing the household is not possible right now!”
