Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Forgiveness is More Important Than Revenge
The personal maid Qiu Yu recalled that the Old Lady still wore the bracelet on her wrist last night, but this morning it had inexplicably disappeared. Unfortunately, last night, the only person who stayed by the Old Lady’s side was you. That’s why we took the liberty of asking you to return, to assist us in searching for the missing item. We deeply hope that Doctor Su can understand our dilemma!”
The Young Master Tutor’s wife spoke without missing a beat, and compared to the direct questioning from Song Xiaoniang and Young Master Tutor Lin earlier, her approach was especially astute, carrying the subtlety and finesse of using minimal effort to move something heavy.
Upon hearing this, a momentary chill flashed across Su Yu’s eyebrows as she firmly retorted, “It goes without saying that finding the lost item is a priority, but to see me as a thief without any investigation is far too arbitrary and lacks fairness!”
Hearing this, Young Master Tutor Lin let out a cold huff, his throat seeming to choke with a thousand unsaid words, but he was stopped by a subtle glance from his wife, forcing the words that were about to escape back down.
The Young Master Tutor’s wife quickly mustered a smile, sincerely apologized, “It was my lack of consideration that caused unnecessary trouble for Doctor Su. Here I offer you my deepest apologies. I hope you can forgive this oversight and not take this minor issue to heart!”
Faced with such a humble apology from the noblewoman, Su Yu, despite any dissatisfaction inside, found it inappropriate to dwell on the matter further on the surface.
Her thoughts drifted back to last night, to the scene of her administering acupuncture to the Old Lady. In her memory, there seemed to have been a glimpse of that translucent green jade bracelet; and even this morning when she administered the medicine, it seemed to quietly lie on the Old Lady’s wrist.
Yet, peculiarly, just after Young Master Tutor Lin and the others burst in, the bracelet mysteriously vanished.
This coincidence in the timeline made Su Yu couldn’t help but speculate whether there was a hidden secret unknown to others.
Her eyebrows gave a light twitch, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In a calm and composed manner, she said to everyone, “Seeing into the essence of things in this world is a matter of learning, whereas excelling in social situations is another form of wisdom. Madam, why don’t we diagnose Song Xiaoniang right now, to see whether her ailment stems from a conflict in the heart or a physical illness?”
After speaking, she lightly tipped her chin, signaling Doctor Zhu, who stood by quietly awaiting orders, to step forward.
Upon receiving the sign, Doctor Zhu immediately demonstrated his superb medical skills, his fingers deftly touching Song Xiaoniang’s pulse. For a moment, the heartbeats of everyone in the room seemed to pause with his movements, the air filled with a tense and subtly expectant atmosphere.
A moment later, Doctor Zhu finally looked up slowly, his voice grave as he addressed Young Master Tutor Lin and his wife, “Song Xiaoniang’s body is indeed frail, and her pulse shows no signs of external pathogenic invasion. It more likely stems from extreme fright, leading to a blockage in her energy flow.”

Su Yu’s gaze was gentle yet piercing as she subtly opened her lips, her words laced with double meanings, “See, issues of the mind need to be addressed from the heart. Since the jade bracelet has been safely recovered, perhaps those ‘ailments’ plaguing the mind should also be dispelled with the wind.”
The remark was ostensibly gentle but carried a hidden edge, causing everyone present to inwardly shiver.
On hearing these words, Song Xiaoniang’s complexion became indiscernibly complex, first a shameful flush of red, followed by a resentful pallor, her eyes flashing with annoyance and struggle.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu already had a plan in mind. She turned to Young Master Tutor Lin and said in a tone full of depth, “Sir, harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all affairs. If today’s misunderstanding could be cleared up, it would be a fortunate matter for everyone in the household. As for Song Xiaoniang, perhaps she should also be given a chance to redeem herself. After all, the human heart is fickle, and leniency often brings more peace to a household than harshness.”
Young Master Tutor Lin’s expression was solemn, and after a long silence, he made a decision amidst a deep sigh, “Alright, in light of Doctor Su’s magnanimity, I will not pursue this matter further. But Song Xiaoniang must know that she cannot afford any more mistakes in the future, or she will be severely punished.”
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoniang trembled, hurriedly bowing with her forehead touching the ground, the sound of her continuous kowtowing echoing in the hall, each one seemingly conveying her panic and remorse.
Tears silently slid down her cheeks, pooled into beads, and fell onto the smooth ground, where they set off fine but meaningful ripples.
Within those tears, it seemed there really was filled with repentance for her past deeds, along with a longing to amend her ways in the future.
Watching this scene, a flash of displeasure clouded the Young Master Tutor’s wife’s brow, but this emotion was quickly replaced by a more profound contemplation.
She was well aware of the principle that a harmonious family leads to prosperity in all things, and any personal sentiments should be put aside at this moment.
For the sake of her family’s harmonious general situation, she reluctantly suppressed her displeasure, and with a nearly indifferent manner, tacitly agreed to this sudden reconciliation.
After all, maintaining a façade of calm in this estate full of schemes was no easy feat.
Su Yu responded to it all with a faint, knowing smile, keeping her own calculations in her heart.
Her goal was never solely to display her personal intelligence and wit, it went deeper, to a profound care and hope for her family.
In her view, the unpredictability of the human heart and the cold reality of society could only be navigated through a combination of wisdom and tolerance, securing a sanctuary of peace for herself and those around her amidst this tumultuous world.
This insight made her every action filled with deep meaning and warmth.
As the turmoil gradually subsided, Su Yu gracefully retreated to the edge of the crowd, her gaze profound as if looking beyond the current disturbance, towards a distant future.
In her eyes lay both a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature and a magnanimous willingness to accept and embrace it all.
In this estate, akin to a stage, every beating heart played its own character, acting out their individual dramas of joy, anger, sorrow, and delight.
Su Yu chose to be a wise onlooker who, at the right moment, would gently guide any lost souls back onto the right path.
Despite her heart’s grudge against Song Xiaoniang’s behavior, unwilling to see her continue to remain, she understood even more the importance of weighing the pros and cons, so as not to disrupt the delicate balance with Su Yu, knowing she might still need her support in the days to come.
The anger of Master Han had not subsided, but faced with a life-and-death situation, he eventually compromised to Su Yu’s suggestion, his reluctance forcing him to admit that sometimes, forgiveness is more important than vengeance.
Su Yu turned around, her gaze fell on Li Huaixin, her tone carrying a request but also revealing an undeniable trust, “For this matter, we have to trouble Divine Doctor Zhu to personally select the appropriate medicinal herbs for me.”
Facing this trust, Li Huaixin seemed somewhat flattered, hurriedly waving his hands in demurral, his eyes sparkling with admiration for Su Yu’s medical skills, “Not at all, not at all, it is my honor to serve Divine Doctor Su, command me as you will, for whatever you need.”
Thereupon, Su Yu picked up the pen, the ink dancing on the paper.
