Rebirth of a Farming Wife

In that instant, Han Yu, without noticing, let some of his killing aura escape. Having gone through certain experiences, the thing he was most intolerant of now was betrayal, even the unintentional betrayal. That’s why he couldn’t help revealing a bit of his coldness without intending to.

Seeing the woman in his arms suddenly shiver and stiffen up, Han Yu’s hand paused for a moment, but the motion was so subtle that Su Wenyue did not feel it. Han Yu sighed inwardly. His wife had been raised delicately, always sheltered within the inner house, and had never seen such bloody and ruthless things. It was normal for her to feel fear. Yet he hoped his wife could accept him, even with his bloody and ruthless side, as such as it was also a part of him, even though he found her reaction somewhat distressing.

“My wife, I…” Although Han Yu felt a bit miserable, he was more worried about having frightened his wife. As he was about to offer comfort, he noticed that the woman in his arms had already relaxed and was snuggling closer to him. Her attitude made Han Yu’s heart surge with warmth, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.

“Husband, there’s no need to say anything. I understand. You and I are one as husband and wife. No matter what kind of man you are, you are my husband. As long as you do not betray me, I will follow you in life and in death, never leaving your side.” Su Wenyue could sense Han Yu’s complex emotions from his actions and looked at him earnestly, making her vow like a solemn oath.

This was Su Wenyue’s most genuine thought at the moment, without any pretense, simply moved by this man’s devotion. Even though Han Yu had his ambitions and ideals, he had never put her aside and had arranged everything meticulously. How many men could be so considerate? Su Wenyue considered herself selfish, but she could not remain indifferent to everything Han Yu had done for her.

Having gone through such experiences in her previous life, Su Wenyue understood even more the rarity of such a man. In this life, she was pampered and spoiled by Han Yu, already so deeply enmeshed in the vast net of happiness he had woven that she found herself irresistibly sinking further.

Han Yu had always been aware that his wife was good to him, gentle and considerate on a daily basis, even her occasional petulance was at an appropriate time; she never crossed the line in things she shouldn’t do. But precisely because of this, it showed that there was a bottom line in his wife’s heart, a lack of complete trust and acceptance of him. That’s why she kept to this bottom line, and declarations like the one she just made were rare for Han Yu to hear, especially today’s words. It seemed that all he had done for his wife was remembered; his efforts had not been in vain.

With such sincerity and determination from his wife, Han Yu was pleased and felt even more encouraged and supportive. Besides wanting to realize his own dreams and aspirations, Han Yu did not care much for the attention of other women. If it hadn’t been for the early engagement with Su Wenyue, he would not have married so soon. Therefore, he was willing to fulfill his wife’s desires; one wife was enough for him. As for other women who eyed his power, they were better off not wanted.

“My dear wife, to have a wife like you, what more can a husband ask for? You are heaven’s blessing to me. I, Han Yu, swear that in this life, Su Wenyue shall be my only woman. In this life, I will never leave your side. Should I ever betray you, let heaven and earth reject me!”

Su Wenyue did not expect that a moment of heartfelt expression would lead to such a solemn oath from Han Yu. Although Han Yu had made similar promises before, he had never spoken them as resolutely as he did now. Han Yu really didn’t need to do this, and she felt even more moved.

“Husband, why are you so good to me?”

“Silly girl, you are my wife. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well? Stop overthinking. If you really want to do something for me, then quickly pack up and take our child to evacuate Yiyang Prefecture as soon as possible, so I don’t have to worry.” Despite being affectionate, Han Yu had not forgotten what mattered most.

Su Wenyue understood that Han Yu was urgent, and this matter was not to be delayed, so she nodded her head, “Husband, rest assured, I’ll prepare now. Actually, most things are already packed. Knowing the current situation in Yiyang Prefecture, even if not for myself, as a mother, how could I let my child fall into danger? I’ve been prepared for some time, just waiting for your arrangement to leave.”

“Good. We’ll leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow. I will immediately send someone to notify Father-in-law and Mother-in-law and tell them to come to the mansion to take you and the children away tomorrow. With Father-in-law and Mother-in-law taking care of you, my mind will be at ease.”

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Su Wenyue knew that following Han Yu’s arrangements at this moment was the right decision. Being able to be with her parents made it much easier than if she were alone with the child, and she felt a little more settled. It must have been that Han Yu carefully considered her feelings to make such an arrangement.

“What a good wife you are!” Han Yu commended her again, amazed at how she had acted today, making him respect her anew. It also spared him the worry for his wife amid his heavy military duties.

Approaching separation, though Han Yu was busy with numerous tasks, he did not spend the night in his study but stayed with his wife and son, attending to them for the entire evening. He also instructed his wife about many things to watch out for, chattering away until Su Wenyue could no longer bear it and, listening to his redundant words, she fell asleep as if they were a lullaby.

As Han Yu spoke, noticing the silence from his wife, and she did not respond after half a day, he looked down only to discover she had fallen asleep. He was a bit frustrated and helpless, but he had already told her all the important things, so he let it be and did not wake her up. He didn’t know when he became such a talkative person—always cherishing the chance to babble on when it came to his wife.

The preparation at Su Mansion was swift and without delay; the very next morning, Su Hengxuan came to take them. Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu with reluctance, “Husband, I’m leaving. You take care. Please look after your health, don’t get so busy with work that you forget to eat or work day and night. I will have someone watch over you, and if you don’t behave, I’ll come back to settle the score with you!”

Su Wenyue had never felt such reluctance to part with Han Yu as she did now, pampered by him to the point she could not let go. Her rare babbling spoke volumes, and she suddenly understood how Han Yu must have felt when he used to nag her. It was probably out of the same concern she had now. Once someone becomes important in your heart, there is no complete rationality, only an overarching concern, for fear that they might not be well.
