Rebirth of a Farming Wife Chapter 361 – Chapter 361: Chapter 368: Restoring to Original State

Chapter 361: Chapter 368: Restoring to Original State
Han Yu looked at his daughter-in-law with a sense of helplessness and fear. Thankfully, the daughter-in-law knew restraint and only used the simplest and most superficial techniques. Otherwise, if anyone noticed and guessed something, Luban’s secret skills could drive certain people to madness, stopping at nothing to acquire them.

It was also his insufficient capability to blame. Such secret techniques in their hands could only be used in stealth, not daring to be revealed. However, in those aristocratic families, it was nothing more than a display of power. Han Yu made up his mind to focus on developing their influence, for if even the trivial things revealed by his daughter-in-law caught attention, it would sooner or later invite trouble.

Su Wenyue was oblivious to the complex feelings in Han Yu’s heart. Although she didn’t consider herself particularly intelligent, having lived a lifetime before, she had the necessary caution and care. Hence, she normally only revealed inconsequential matters, and now, she spoke freely solely because she was with Han Yu.

“Daughter-in-law, what you know is truly remarkable, and you must never reveal it in front of others. Tell no one but me. You can’t imagine how human desire and greed work. We can’t risk our family and lives on the goodness or badness of human nature,” Han Yu earnestly said to Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue was aware of this principle. Hence, even Han Yu didn’t know about it until now. She was willing to share because Han Yu had won her recognition and trust with his behavior in past days. His words indicated that her choice was right. This man, upon learning these secrets, wasn’t fixated on their value, but was concerned for her safety. That alone was enough for her to trust him.

“Daughter-in-law, I am being serious. You must remember my words and act as I’ve told you. Do you hear me?” asked Han Yu urgently, not hearing Su Wenyue’s response. He was eager for her assurance because he knew his daughter-in-law was a woman of her word; she would do as promised, regardless of her level of attention to the matter.

Seeing Han Yu’s earnest and concerned demeanor, Su Wenyue nodded. Han Yu seemed still somewhat anxious, and added, “By anyone, I also mean your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your cousins.”

As Han Yu spoke, afraid that Su Wenyue might overthink it, he explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust them. I know your parents and cousins hold you in high regard, but before that, they would consider the family’s interest. Moreover, your family is tied to Marquis Beian Mansion. Even your cousins, who treasure you, can’t compare their affections with those for their own wives and children. It’s not that I’m maligning them; even I understand this well. Perhaps what I’m saying goes against filial piety and sounds rather selfish and ungrateful, but that’s how I feel. Since having you as my wife, no one seems as important as you do.”

Su Wenyue initially felt unhappy hearing this, as she knew how her parents and elder brother treated her and Han Yu. His words suggested distrust and even ingratitude. However, as she listened to his subsequent declarations, she felt solely warmth and moved.

Su Wenyue had never heard such words before. Even her parents and elder brother couldn’t compare to that single sentence, “no one is as important as you.” At that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and importance she had never experienced before.

Han Yu, seeing his wife’s teary, red eyes, said, “Daughter-in-law, I’m not really heartless or selfish. There are just some things I can’t control, things I never anticipated, like you. I knew I was a detached and almost selfish person, keeping merely a sense of gratitude and filial piety towards my parents, not feeling particularly close. Meeting you allowed you to gradually enter my heart, and only then did I realize there was someone in the world who could mean so much to me, who could have such a tremendous impact on my life. I just want to spend our lives together, ensuring you have good days.”

“Husband, I understand. I know you want what’s best for me. I didn’t take it the wrong way. You are not selfish at all; such thoughts are natural. In fact, I’d rather you were selfish, preferring that you be good to me and me alone,” Su Wenyue said as she approached and hugged Han Yu, her face radiating happiness.

Since her rebirth, all she had hoped for was to lead a peaceful and stable life. Because of her experiences in her previous life, she hadn’t set high expectations for Han Yu—yet now she was experiencing such a day.

Han Yu, seeing his wife so content, smiled slightly, his robust hand gently stroking her head, saying no more. He was, after all, a man of few words, not inclined to speak much when it wasn’t necessary. And considering he’d just opened his heart to his wife, speaking more than usual, he felt satisfied with the outcome.

The couple shared their innermost feelings, significantly strengthening their bond. After a long embrace, they turned their attention back to the colorful exquisite lamp, pondering how to deal with it.

“Husband, many people covet this colorful exquisite lamp, and having it might not bode well for us. It might be better to give it away and find the right person to entrust it with,” Su Wenyue said, having found the answers she sought. There was no need to keep the lamp, which only brought unnecessary trouble.

Han Yu was on the same page. He had been hesitant before because of his wife’s attitude towards the lamp, but now that she had spoken, he was relieved. However, he noticed the lamp, dismantled to the point of unrecognizability on the table.

“Daughter-in-law, now that the lamp is dismantled like this, can it still be restored?” he asked.

Su Wenyue nodded, walked to the table, and picked up the dismantled parts of the lamp, which were beyond recognition, and began to assemble them without a moment’s hesitation. Her technique was impressively familiar, and in no time, the lamp was restored to its original state, indistinguishable from before, except for the sheepskin map she took out.

“Take this with you. This is something many people want, and we might find a use for it later,” Su Wenyue pressed the sheepskin map into Han Yu’s arms. Although it was of no use to them at present, Han Yu was a man of ambition, and who knew if it might prove useful one day.

As Han Yu took the sheepskin map, his mouth twitched, “Daughter-in-law, is this alright? Those people must have been after the map, and if they find that it’s missing, they might suspect us.”
