Su Wenyue had wanted to retort, but seeing the dangerous squint of Han Yu’s eyes, she wisely changed her tune. “Alright, let’s not bring it up. I was just worried about you. After all, that man is so cunning. If he really targets you in secret, it’s always good to be prepared in advance and avoid falling victim to his schemes.”

“Okay, I know how you feel; I’ll be cautious. You have to believe in your man.” Han Yu rubbed his daughter-in-law’s head gently. He himself was no gentleman, as he had no qualms about using whatever means necessary to achieve his ends, although he did have some principles. He had simply never let his daughter-in-law know about these things, preferring not to scare the innocent girl.

After Han Yu had assured her, Su Wenyue felt much more at ease, as long as Han Yu was wary, she believed that there should be no problem. Although Sikong Yu was powerful and utterly shameless, his tactics were still inferior to Han Yu’s.

“So you’ve been bottling up about this matter for the past few days, turning yourself into a ghostly figure?!” Han Yu hadn’t forgotten his ultimate goal. Thinking that his wife had been so distressed by some not so realistic events in dreams, involving other men no less, that she could neither eat nor sleep well, wasting away to this extent, and nearly harming the child in her stomach, he felt the urge to grab someone and give them a thrashing.

Su Wenyue knew in her heart that it wasn’t only because of this matter, but it played a significant role. What she feared most was Sikong Ling affecting her current life. Thus, when Han Yu asked her, she nodded somewhat guiltily, knowing that she had done wrong. But once a person enters a certain state of mind, it becomes easy to become obsessively fixated and unable to break free. Consider that this had been a demon in her heart all this time, even though speaking it out loud didn’t completely unravel the knot in her heart, it did make her feel much lighter and less burdened.

Seeing Su Wenyue nod, Han Yu’s finger flicked her forehead a bit too roughly, causing her to yelp in pain, though she dared not complain. She understood Han Yu’s temper well; if it weren’t for her pregnancy, this time Han Yu probably wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

Han Yu saw Su Wenyue pouting and covering the red mark on her forehead, then pulled her into his arms to gently massage it for her, feeling awfully complex inside. He didn’t know what kind of karma he had created in his previous life that in this life, he would fall into the hands of this heartless woman. He doted on and cherished her so much, yet this little thing failed to feel his affection, making herself suffer to the point where it broke his heart and made him feel so helpless.

“From now on, you can tell me anything, there’s nothing we can’t solve. If I find out that you’re brooding over something by yourself again…”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would get angry, after all, I do have my faults, and I was also worried that person would be harmful to you, that’s why I let my imagination run wild.” Su Wenyue lay in Han Yu’s arms and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that this matter was finally resolved.

With Han Yu’s consoling words, Su Wenyue slept better at night and seemed more spirited during the day, although the morning sickness hadn’t abated completely, it was less severe than before. Grandma Chen and Aunt Li tried all sorts of remedies to find different foods that Su Wenyue could stomach, and she was finally able to eat something.

Doctor Lin checked Su Wenyue’s pulse and said that as long as her psychological issue was resolved, morning sickness wasn’t a big problem; it would pass in time. Many pregnant women have gone through it. Han Yu was still not reassured and tried to return home daily.

While Han Yu was on guard and investigating Sikong Ling, Sikong Ling’s desk was also piled with information on Han Yu and Su Wenyue. Sikong Ling had reviewed it many times, including the file on Han Yu – the man who had locked eyes with him that day. Although the records showed a farmer who had risen to the status of a petty official thanks to his mother’s family, Sikong Ling was convinced based on their exchange of glances on the street that Han Yu was no ordinary man and was destined to rise to greatness someday, for troubled times breed heroes.

Being an enemy of a man like Han Yu was unwise. Although Sikong Ling could sometimes be ridiculous, he was not without sense. Surprisingly, this time, he seemed unable to let go of a woman carrying a child. He knew it was not wise, and Sikong Ling indeed had no plans to harm Su Wenyue for the time being, nor did he have any intention of bringing her back right away, but he couldn’t help but want to learn more about her.

Sikong Ling clapped his hands, and a man in black appeared out of thin air in the room. This was a force the Sikong Family had always cultivated in secret. Since the death of the old master of Sikong, this power had come into the hands of Sikong Ling, bypassing his father, the current head of the family.

Aside from Sikong Ling, no one in the Sikong Family knew about or had access to this force, and it also served as a safeguard for Sikong Ling’s future as the head of the family. After all, the current head had more than one son, both legitimate and illegitimate, yet Sikong Ling was the only grandson the old master truly recognized and valued. The reason he didn’t directly pass on the headship to Sikong Ling was because of the situation with the Imperial Court, using Sikong Ze as the apparent target. In reality, whoever had this force truly served as the head of the family.

“What does the master require?”

“Keep an eye on this person for me, and report her movements back to me at all times.” Sikong Ling passed Su Wenyue’s file to the man in black, who glanced at it, asked no questions or reasons, and went to carry out the command directly.

“Husband, you’re back!” When Han Yu returned that day, Su Wenyue greeted him eagerly, clearly having a request for him.

Though Han Yu knew what was coming, he did not ask right away but instead accompanied his wife back to their room. He inquired about her day and the baby’s condition in her stomach, and after feeding her some food, he slowly broached the subject.

“Tell me, what is it that you want, or something you want me to do?”

“Husband, I want to visit Lingyin Temple,” Su Wenyue replied. She knew her current condition wasn’t suitable for going out. Her decision to go to Lingyin Temple had been carefully made, but even with her decision, Han Yu’s agreement was necessary, or else she wouldn’t even be able to step out the door. The people sent by the Su Family were strictly watching her and only obeyed Han Yu’s orders; she couldn’t direct them at all.

“Visit Lingyin Temple?” Han Yu frowned upon hearing Su Wenyue’s request and rejected it without a second thought.

“You should be aware of your own condition, you really shouldn’t go out before giving birth!”

“I’ve thought it through, and I really want to go. I’ve been feeling restless and uneasy these past few days. Continuing like this won’t do, so I want to visit Lingyin Temple, to pray for the Bodhisattva’s blessings. I always feel that only in this way can I find peace of mind.” Su Wenyue always remembered the sense of tranquility and peace she felt in front of the Buddha, as if it purified her soul and allowed her to calm down. Moreover, she had a wish to pray for.

Seeing Su Wenyue so earnest, as if this were a very important matter to her, Han Yu, about to refuse again, held back his words with hesitation.
