Rebirth of a Farming Wife Chapter 365 – Chapter 365: Chapter 372: It’s Just Like That

Chapter 365: Chapter 372: It’s Just Like That
As Su Wenyue spoke, she could feel the coldness emanating from the man beside her, clearly very bothered by her words. She let her guard down for a moment, initially only intending to reveal her rebirth. Yet, led on by Han Yu, she ended up confessing the truth, even involving Sikong Ling. It’s truly not easy to fool a clever man. Despite living twice, she was still trapped by Han Yu.

“What happened after that?” Seeing Su Wenyue pause, Han Yu asked unhurriedly. His voice sounded calm, but Su Wenyue felt it was the calm before the storm, and her heart was filled with trepidation. The regretful feelings from her previous life resurfaced, but since she had started, she couldn’t stop halfway, or it would only give Han Yu more reason to speculate.

“Mrs. Wang was honey-mouthed but harbored a dagger in her belly, and she was very persuasive. I was naive back then and was easily taken in by her, truly believing she meant well by me. Especially since you were very indifferent towards me at the time, unwilling to even exchange extra words with me, I thought she was the only one in the Han Family who was kind to me. So I opened my heart to her and ended up being coaxed into selling my dowry. Almost all the benefits went to her.

“Seeing that I was struggling, my father and mother decided to give me the Zhuangzi they had prepared for me. Little did they know that Han Lin and Mrs. Wang were so greedy, they set their sights on the Zhuangzi. In the end, it too was sold by their deceit. My mother’s family was so disappointed in me that they refused to help me any longer. And with you away at the military camp, the days became even harder, until I met Sikong Ling.”

“Sikong Ling coveted my beauty and tried to tempt me repeatedly. Although I resented you and was not a virtuous wife, I was not the kind of person to succumb to such acts. I just drove him away, not wanting any connection with him. Little did I know how sinister Han Lin and Mrs. Wang could be; not only did they trick me out of everything I had, but when they learned of Sikong Ling’s intentions, they went to him proactively. Having benefited from him, they used those despicable tricks to allow Sikong Ling to succeed.”

“Having lost my honor, I was filled with both hatred and anger, yet I dared not publicize the matter, nor could I do anything about them, forced to be threatened by them time and again. I finally looked forward to your return, and tentatively told you about Han Lin and Mrs. Wang’s ill intentions. Instead of standing up for me, you blamed me for being restless and causing trouble. I felt helpless and utterly disheartened.”

“The daughters-in-law in the village were jealous of my good looks and background, and with me alone at home, they spread lots of rumors. You didn’t care at all, as if I was not your wife. I was angry at your attitude, and with Sikong Ling’s promises and incitements, eventually, when Sikong Ling left, it was all over with no further entanglement.”

As Su Wenyue said this, she appeared to carry some emotions from her previous life, her tone filled with anger and resentment, not just towards Han Lin and Mrs. Wang but also towards Han Yu.

Han Yu, upon hearing this, didn’t know how to describe his feelings. Which man could remain indifferent upon hearing such a story? He had originally thought his daughter-in-law had some connection with Sikong Ling, maybe an unclear relationship, but not that they had anything so deep. The hatred of cuckolding could split the sky.

“Ouch!” Su Wenyue felt the hand holding hers tighten, the force so great it hurt her, completely pulling her out of the prior emotions. Gazing at Han Yu with his dark and fierce look lying beside her, her heart was filled with regret and fear. She had thought she had completely stepped out of the shadows of her previous life, but it seemed there were still some lingering effects. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been overwhelmed by resentful emotions and blurt out words that provoked Han Yu.

“Husband, are you angry with me? I didn’t do it on purpose in my previous life,” she said. “Later, I realized I wasn’t virtuous enough, and that’s why you didn’t like me. It was also my lack of intelligence that allowed Han Lin and Mrs. Wang to trick me so badly, and I gambled with my future happiness with you out of spite. This led to that unfortunate end.”

Seeing that Han Yu still wasn’t speaking, she continued, “Husband? If you mind, just say it. I can understand.”

Su Wenyue didn’t know how Han Yu would react, she just wanted him to give her a straightforward answer, even if it meant getting angry or scolding her; it would still be better than his current silence.

“Husband?” Su Wenyue called out softly again and fell silent when Han Yu didn’t respond.

Han Yu wasn’t really ignoring Su Wenyue; he just needed a moment to calm his emotions. Although he was initially angry, as he listened to his wife, his anger subsided gradually. His mind became exceptionally rational and clear. Despite feeling jealousy and discomfort, these were issues from a previous life, essentially events that never happened to him. To let these things affect his relationship with his wife, to become distant, would be a loss in itself.

Su Wenyue, unaware of Han Yu’s thoughts, felt this was the most indifferent Han Yu had ever been to her since their marriage. She knew that no man could be indifferent to that affair, despite her slight alterations to the story. It was out of necessity, she thought Han Yu would understand even if angry, but things didn’t turn out as she expected.

What mattered most to Su Wenyue? Even if Han Yu beat or scolded her, his current indifference was what hurt the most. It resembled the previous life’s Han Yu to a painful degree: indifferent, uncaring. This made her feel anxious and hopeless. She was truly content with her current life; could it be destroyed because of the past? As Su Wenyue pondered, tears began to fall.

It didn’t take long for Han Yu to realize that although he still had some issues to resolve, they would fade over time. Hearing no sound from his wife, he turned to look and saw her curled up like an abandoned little creature, silently crying, his heart ached. This fool must have overthought things again.

“Wife, you…” Han Yu sighed, intending to comfort his wife, when suddenly he heard a noise outside along with a warning from the secret guard. The hand that was about to touch his wife’s head retracted, and he hurriedly got dressed, grabbed his sword, and prepared to leave.

With such commotion, even Su Wenyue, lost in her world, couldn’t help but notice. Seeing Han Yu like this, something must have happened. She sat up worriedly, knowing this wasn’t the time for her to be emotional.

“Husband, what’s going on? Where are you going?” she asked.

Han Yu knew this was the time when his wife was most sensitive and needed comforting. But with the situation urgent, he couldn’t delay and had to stop for a moment to give her a few hurried instructions.

“Wife, I’ve got to handle something. Just go to sleep, don’t worry about anything. I’ll explain everything when I come back.”

“Ah, Husband…” Before Su Wenyue could finish, Han Yu had already vanished from her sight.
