Su Wenyue, having heard Mrs. Liu’s words, was first taken aback. Jiang Chunlan was extremely persistent in her affection for Han Yu; otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried every possible means to remain in the Han Family. It was indeed very odd for such a person to suddenly change her mind. Moreover, it wasn’t just one person but several young guys who were reportedly involved—that statement was most likely an exaggeration.

“Is this true? It couldn’t just be someone talking nonsense, could it?” Su Wenyue said with doubt, clearly not very convinced by Mrs. Liu’s words. Mrs. Liu was not one to think things through and would always believe rumors without question.

“Where does it sound like nonsense? Just look at her, other than during meal times, she’s hardly to be seen. And her injured legs are still not healed, limping as she walks, yet she keeps running outside, not fearing her legs will become lame and she’ll end up an invalid who cannot marry,” Mrs. Liu spoke without any regard for propriety, essentially cursing Jiang Chunlan.

Su Wenyue knew from Mrs. Liu’s words that this was baseless conjecture, merely laughed it off after listening, and did not take it to heart. After all, there had been plenty of rumors in the village, and there had been no shortage of gossip about her and Han Yu in the past.

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, don’t be disbelieving; many in the village have seen it. They say Jiang Chunlan and those young guys have been chattering and laughing together on the Back Mountain. The stories are quite detailed; I don’t think they are made up,” she insisted.

“Perhaps, but such matters ultimately affect a young woman’s reputation. It’s not for others to interfere, and you’d better not talk about it, Sister-in-law, or Mother might become angry. I shall return to my room now,” said Su Wenyue, signaling the end of the conversation.

Last time, Su Wenyue had managed to intimidate Jiang Chunlan enough to keep her from causing further trouble. Enjoying her peace, Su Wenyue had focused her main energy on her embroidery, and the large Embroidery Product she had been working on was also nearing completion. Together with the smaller pieces she had embroidered earlier, Su Wenyue planned to finish this one and then visit the Su Family, hoping her mother from the An Family would help her sell the embroidery for a good price.

When Han Yu returned, he immediately saw Su Wenyue doing embroidery, which brought an instant frown to his face, especially when he saw Su Wenyue rubbing her tired eyes with a somewhat obscure look and an even colder complexion. With a stern face that appeared rather frightening, he snatched the embroidery from Su Wenyue’s hands, completely disregarding her protest and dissatisfaction.

“Didn’t I tell you that embroidery damages your eyes and to rest properly? You are not allowed to sew indiscriminately at any time! What did you promise me before? You’ve brushed my words aside as if they were nothing, haven’t you?” Han Yu’s tone rose at the end, clearly carrying a hint of danger and threat.

Su Wenyue was just about done with her embroidery, working tirelessly to finish it, wishing to complete the piece before the night so that she could deliver it to the Su Family the following day, thus avoiding another day’s delay. Little did she know that her efforts would be interrupted at just that moment.

Han Yu disregarded her wishes and simply took the embroidery without any discussion. Su Wenyue was quite reluctant and even a bit angry. She felt like blowing off some steam, but upon seeing Han Yu’s expression, she dared not let the words leave her mouth. Hearing Han Yu’s seemingly light yet thoroughly threatening words made her scalp tingle with fear, and she dared not speak up.

Seeing Han Yu in such manner indicated that he was truly angry; otherwise, he wouldn’t be looking so cold and stern. Since their relationship had been improving, even though Han Yu was often cold-faced in public, he was very gentle in private, sometimes even spoiling her to a degree. Remembering what Han Yu had said before, Su Wenyue felt even guiltier, her expression sheepishly hesitant.
