Han Yu remained expressionless until he heard Su Wenyue’s words, which caused him to furrow his brows. The look he gave Su Wenyue clearly carried a certain dangerous message. Then, the corners of his mouth curled into an inscrutable smile, “Have you already forgotten what I said that day? Do you need me to refresh your memory?!”

You dare to doubt him? Clearly, you haven’t been taught a sufficient lesson.

“No need! No need! I just blurted it out without thinking, I know you didn’t mean to blame me, I do believe in you, I’ve kept in mind everything you’ve said.” Su Wenyue shook her head vigorously at Han Yu with a flattering smile on her face. She was terrified of Han Yu, his methods were definitely not something she could endure. After being severely disciplined by Han Yu, Su Wenyue became much more obedient in front of him. She definitely wouldn’t dare to provoke him; a smart person knows to seek benefits and avoid harm. Of course, Su Wenyue had to admit that she was originally somewhat fearful of Han Yu.

Seeing Su Wenyue behave in such a way, Han Yu merely glanced at her meaningfully. Seeing her smile even brighter, a teasing and undisguised appeasement, he found it amusing and pulled something out of his pocket to hand to Su Wenyue.

“What’s this?” Curious, Su Wenyue accepted the paper bag from Han Yu’s hand, which was pleasantly warm. When she took it, she even smelled the aroma of meat and blinked in surprise, looking up at Han Yu.

“Eat it while it’s still warm, it won’t taste as good once it cools,” Han Yu said affectionately, smiling as he watched Su Wenyue.

Seeing his pampered wife getting accustomed to such a life filled Han Yu with a bit of guilt. But since the Han family had not yet split the household, even if he felt pity, he couldn’t do much about it. Seeing Mrs. Wang eat eggs daily because of her pregnancy, while his own wife had to deal with the same bland and barely oily meals, her face growing thinner, Han Yu thought of this solution. Taking advantage of a hunting trip, he roasted a pheasant in the mountains to bring back to Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue understood what Han Yu meant and immediately beamed a wide smile, greedily opening the paper bag. As expected, she saw a roasted pheasant, glossy with oil. She exclaimed with delight, “Husband, thank you! It smells delicious, and I love roasted pheasant the most!”

“Hm, keep it down a bit. Do you want everyone to know you’re sneaking a treat?” Seeing how happy Su Wenyue was made Han Yu’s smile deepen, but unlike her carefree reaction, he reminded her to be discreet about their secret indulgence.

Understanding the situation, Su Wenyue nodded knowingly, looking experienced as she kept eating without pause, eagerly tearing off a chicken leg and stuffing it into her mouth.

Given the limited resources in the mountains, Han Yu could only roast the pheasant and bring it back without any seasonings. Nevertheless, Su Wenyue relished it, whether from sheer hunger or appreciating Han Yu’s thoughtfulness, she felt completely satisfied.

Of course, Su Wenyue didn’t forget about Han Yu beside her. While eating, she didn’t neglect to tear off another chicken leg and offer it to his mouth, “You eat too.”

“No need, I’ve already eaten. This one is for you,” Han Yu felt reassured by Su Wenyue’s gesture, but he didn’t eat, instead guiding the chicken leg to her mouth. A wild pheasant didn’t weigh much, and it was hardly enough for Su Wenyue alone. As for Han Yu, a big man, he could eat anything.

After finishing the roasted pheasant, Su Wenyue’s hands and mouth were dirty. Han Yu meticulously cleaned her up, hid the ‘evidence’, and opened the window to let in some fresh air. Now, even if someone entered at this point, they wouldn’t find a trace of their secret meal.

Sitting there, swinging her legs and watching Han Yu carefully covering their tracks, Su Wenyue suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly struck by a funny thought. Han Yu looked at her, and seeing her laughter uncontrollable, it grew even more intense.

“What are you laughing about? What’s so funny?” Han Yu, having finished his handiwork, walked over and picked her up to sit on his lap, seeing Su Wenyue’s apple cheeks flushed with laughter, he felt inexplicably satisfied and relaxed in a way he never had before.

After eating the roasted pheasant brought back by Han Yu, Su Wenyue hardly had an appetite for the bland dinner spread out before her. She ate a couple of bites, but Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yang had specially boiled sugar eggs for her, turning Mrs. Liu green with envy. Mrs. Wang was pregnant and thus Mrs. Liu couldn’t voice any complaints.

Following the previous uproar at the Han family, Mrs. Wang knew her reputation was irredeemable, and perhaps succumbing to a sense of defeat, she had become much more brazen than before. She often traded barbs with Mrs. Liu now. Seeing her mother-in-law prepare sugar eggs, she didn’t hesitate to enjoy them. After all, it was for the child in her womb. She calmly ate, occasionally glancing at Su Wenyue, who seemed to lack appetite and smirked with sarcasm.

Su Wenyue noticed Mrs. Wang’s gaze on her but pretended ignorance, not giving her the time of day. She waited for everyone to finish eating before she could clean up, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly stood and knelt before her in front of the entire family.

Her heart skipped a beat, realizing she was in trouble. Mrs. Wang was really willing to go all-in, kneeling down to her just like that, naturally complicating the situation. Without guessing, Su Wenyue knew why Mrs. Wang did this and quickly pondered how to counter her ploy.

“Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly. After all, you are my Third Sister-in-law, the elder among us. If you kneel to me so casually, I could lose years off my life. Even if you hate me, you don’t need to go this far! Father and Mother, please ask her to get up. I want to live a long life.” Su Wenyue was utterly serious, showing no sign of jest. She immediately moved aside, as if genuinely afraid of being cursed by Mrs. Wang’s actions.

Everyone was initially stunned by Mrs. Wang’s sudden move, and upon hearing Su Wenyue say that, they were even more bewildered, never having heard such a claim from her. Nonetheless, they quickly instructed Han Lin to help Mrs. Wang up.

Mrs. Liu was still wondering what trick Mrs. Wang intended to play when she heard Su Wenyue’s words and couldn’t help but laugh, “Third

Daughter-in-law, better get up quickly. Although I haven’t heard of this sort of thing causing a loss of years from the Fourth Daughter-in-law, you are still her elder sister-in-law; it’s inappropriate to kneel to her. However, if the Fourth Child becomes someone important enough to be bestowed an imperial edict, then you can kneil to her, and it won’t be too late..”
