Rebirth of a Farming Wife-Chapter 614 - Six Hundred and Twenty

Chapter 614: Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty

“Alright then, since you put it that way, I’ll just be frank. It’s really nothing major. It’s just that your husband, General Han, has taken up with another woman outside, and that woman is none other than Zhou Yao, the Miss Cousin of the City Lord Mansion, whom you recently kicked out,” Chen Li indeed spat out everything she knew in one breath, all the while carefully observing Su Wenyue’s expression, ready to offer consolation when Su Wenyue fell apart.

After all, Chen Li had witnessed Su Wenyue’s ‘jealous’ nature. She had once been intimidated by Su Wenyue’s aggressive tactics and was absolutely convinced that Su Wenyue would never believe in the possibility of Han Yu’s betrayal. If Su Wenyue was going to storm the City Lord Mansion, Chen Li would have to intervene.

That woman was crafty indeed. Now that they were relying on Peicheng’s territory, and consequently the City Lord Mansion, offending the City Lord Mansion was unquestionably unwise. If Han Yu grew tired of her because of it or, even worse, allowed Zhou Yao—the detestable and hypocritical woman—to benefit, Chen Li would be infuriated to death.

Su Wenyue felt a sudden pain in her heart, as if she couldn’t catch her breath. It took a while for her to regain her composure, but she didn’t lose her reason. Perhaps it was the traces of rouge on the clothes last time that had stirred many speculations in her heart. Thus, she was able to remain calm now and, regardless of what had transpired, she needed to confront Han Yu in person to get his response.

“Is that so?” Su Wenyue asked with an unchanged expression, as if discussing something completely ordinary.

Chen Li blinked, completely caught off guard by Su Wenyue’s calm reaction, which was entirely unexpected. None of the reactions Chen Li had anticipated from Su Wenyue upon learning the truth occurred. It was just too composed.

“Yes, that’s it. I mean, Han Yu has taken another woman, and that woman is Zhou Yao, the Miss Cousin of the City Lord Mansion. Not only is Zhou Yao hypocritical and pretentious, but she’s also extremely ambitious. Who knows, she might already be eyeing your position as the General’s Wife. You must be careful. I came to tell you specifically because I feared you were unaware and would be completely unprepared, thereby suffering at the hands of that woman,” Chen Li almost thought Su Wenyue hadn’t understood her words properly, such was her apparent calmness, so she repeated herself to clarify her purpose.

“Then I’m aware now. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chen, in making a special trip to inform me. I will take precautions, rest assured. As long as I am here, I won’t let any other woman take this place,” Su Wenyue spoke with a smile, but her words were laced with endless chill.

Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Chen Li didn’t feel relief at Su Wenyue’s composure; she presumed the shock must have been too great, and thus Su Wenyue’s reaction was so out of the ordinary. Su Wenyue’s current state was more daunting than her previous rage-fueled desire to strike someone—it was this bone-chilling coldness that resembled Han Yu’s demeanor. Were they alike because they were husband and wife?

“Sister Yue, you…” Chen Li had a lot of comforting words ready but didn’t know how to deliver them.

However, Su Wenyue simply offered a faint smile, “Regardless of how things actually are, Lady Li, I’m grateful that you came to tell me today. I appreciate this gesture, and I, Su Wenyue, accept it! I have matters to attend to today and cannot keep you any longer, but when we find the time, let’s have a proper chat.”

Su Wenyue understood that Chen Li’s intentions in revealing this information might not have been entirely for her sake, but still, they carried good will. Besides, she needed to maintain appearances.

“Alright, I have my own business to attend to anyway and was thinking of leaving. Take care of yourself, won’t you? No matter what happens, you have children,” Chen Li didn’t mind Su Wenyue’s discourteousness. Considering the circumstances, Su Wenyue was already behaving rationally by not lashing out in her presence. Sensing Su Wenyue’s wish for her to leave, Chen Li rose to say goodbye. She had actually been busy and made time just to drop by.

After seeing Chen Li out, Su Wenyue staggered and collapsed onto a chair. Her mind was in disarray. No matter how she tried to console herself, reminding herself that Han Yu was not that sort of man, Chen Li wouldn’t have come to her without reason. She had not asked Chen Li for the details, not because she had forgotten but because she wanted to wait for Han Yu to return and give her the answers himself.

“Madam, are you alright?”

Although Brother Xing had left with his younger brother and sister, he was still worried about his mother. He, therefore, asked Aunt Li to convey his concerns and to keep a careful watch over his mother. Before leaving, Chen Li had also instructed Aunt Li to take good care of Su Wenyue.

Thus, as soon as Chen Li was gone, Aunt Li came in straight away, her face etched with worry as she looked at Su Wenyue. Indeed, her persistent fears had materialized. Men were unreliable, she only hoped that the mistress would not be too severely affected.

“Aunt Li, do you think I should trust him? I really do want to trust him, but with these repeated incidents, I’m starting to waver! You think Han Yu couldn’t have betrayed me, right? He swore to me once, he said he would spend his whole life with me, with no other women, I believe him to be a man of his word, who won’t let me down,” Su Wenyue seemed to be asking Aunt Li but was actually talking to herself, not giving Aunt Li a chance to chime in. Her thoughts were too scattered as she sought to reassure herself and calm down to prevent herself from breaking down.

Now Su Wenyue realized how important Han Yu was to her. Even though she had once thought if Han Yu treated her poorly, she would just secure her position as the Mistress of the house and ignore everything else, able to live freely and comfortably like other women do. But once you invest your feelings, your perspective changes. Now, if Su Wenyue were to truly tolerate Han Yu having another woman, she couldn’t do it—she would rather spend her lifetime alone. True love does not tolerate betrayal.

“Madam…”

Su Wenyue gestured for Aunt Li to be silent, not wanting to hear any comforting words, “You may leave. I want to be alone for a while. Without my explicit instruction, no one is allowed to enter!”

General Han had been aware of Chen Li sending people to spy on him and had someone watch her in return. He had been notified immediately of any unusual movements from her. Moreover, he had warned Chen Li, trusting that she knew how to behave. He never expected this woman to be so daring, to actually go so far as to approach his wife—absurd!

General Han was furious. What Chen Li had seen was only the surface of the matter; she had no understanding of the truth. His wife was supremely jealous. She wouldn’t even allow other women to come too close to him on ordinary days. If she were to believe Chen Li’s nonsensical talk, there was no telling how angry she would get and what foolish things she might do. It was maddening that he was currently tied up with matters and unable to immediately rush back to explain to his wife.
