Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Chapter 522: Chapter 529: Taking Advantage to Probe

Since she had woken up, it meant that there was no serious issue. Divine Doctor Mu already had a preliminary conclusion in his heart; however, being meticulous in his practice, he did not jump to any hasty conclusions. Instead, after taking Su Wenyue’s pulse, he gave the diagnosis. But upon seeing the purple-tinged red mark on Su Wenyue’s philtrum caused by Han Yu’s pinch, the corner of his mouth twitched—this girl had really suffered.

“Congratulations, General Han, your wife’s condition is no longer a concern. She just needs to rest and recuperate. It seems like your wife has been awake for quite a while now, and it’s extraordinary that she has managed to stay awake this long without sleep. Still, her health is the most important thing. Whatever you want to say to her can wait until after she has rested. There’s no rush at this moment.” Divine Doctor Mu misunderstood, thinking that Su Wenyue was forcing herself to stay awake just to talk to Han Yu, so he advised thus.

Han Yu felt embarrassed upon hearing Divine Doctor Mu’s words, and glanced uncomfortably at his wife. He might have misinterpreted the meaning behind Divine Doctor Mu’s previous words. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Wenyue was truly annoyed at this moment, glaring fiercely at Han Yu. What an idiot! Earlier, she had thought Han Yu was only trying to look out for her well-being, therefore, despite feeling aggrieved and struggling, she was actually understanding in her heart. But it turned out that it was all because of Han Yu’s stupidity that she had to suffer through so much trouble.

“My wife, hadn’t you wanted to sleep earlier? Since Divine Doctor Mu has said so, you should rest now. I’ll stay right here with you.” Han Yu said with a fawning tone, trying to appease her and cover up his own embarrassment. He had been so preoccupied with worrying about his wife that he had misinterpreted Divine Doctor Mu’s words, which led to his wife suffering so needlessly, even to the point of shedding tears. He truly felt guilty and hoped his wife would not stay angry for too long.

“However, since Madam Han is still awake, she should have something to eat first before sleeping. This can help replenish her strength and aid in a quicker recovery,” Divine Doctor Mu reminded again.

Han Yu had already inquired about these matters and had made preparations. Upon hearing this, he nodded, “Exactly. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare some soft and easily digestible food. My wife, you should eat something before you sleep.”

Having said that, Han Yu quickly went to the door to instruct the servants to bring the food over. He hadn’t eaten properly these past few days either. Now that he felt more at ease, he too was quite hungry, and it was a good opportunity to have a meal with his wife.

At that moment, Sikong Ling had also received the news that Su Wenyue had woken up. After hurriedly asking a few questions, he headed over to Su Wenyue’s location.

“Lady Yue, you’re awake!” Sikong Ling’s face was joyful. Indeed, a divine doctor is a divine doctor. He had been somewhat skeptical yesterday when hearing Divine Doctor Mu’s seemingly miraculous statements and didn’t think it was very reliable, but he hadn’t expected that Divine Doctor Mu would truly revive the person. The divine doctor really did have some ability.

Just then, Han Yu had just fed Su Wenyue a bowl of porridge and had been tending to her as she settled back to sleep, when he heard Sikong Ling’s voice. His expression changed slightly; this Sikong Ling was really too concerned about his daughter-in-law!

“Didn’t they say Lady Yue had awakened? Why is she still asleep?” As soon as Sikong Ling entered, he saw Su Wenyue still lying there sleeping and spoke with a displeased tone. His gaze swept over the small table in front of the bed. On seeing an empty bowl, his mood softened somewhat.

“Has she fallen asleep again?” Sikong Ling quickly realized the situation. After all, if Su Wenyue hadn’t woken up, he wouldn’t believe that Han Yu would be in the mood for eating and drinking here. Moreover, the empty bowl was placed by the bed, with some residue sticking to it, looking like it contained porridge, which must have been fed to Su Wenyue.

Despite his displeased expression, Han Yu still nodded. After all, they were on Sikong’s territory now, and it would not do well to entirely disregard Sikong Ling, lest the latter made things difficult. Although Sikong Ling had been reasonable to deal with so far, Han Yu knew that this was under certain conditions. He also knew of Sikong Ling’s reputation outside and was aware that he wasn’t someone easy to deal with. And even though Han Yu felt distaste, deep down he was grateful to Sikong Ling because, no matter what, his wife had been saved.

“She woke up in the middle of the night yesterday. We had the divine doctor take a look just now, and my wife’s condition is fairly good. Although she hasn’t completely escaped danger, with proper care and no stress, she will slowly recover.” Han Yu emphasized the words “my wife” to remind Sikong Ling. As for Su Wenyue’s condition, Han Yu did not divulge the entire truth. Now that his wife had woken up and was out of danger, he intended to take her away from Peach Blossom Valley once her condition stabilized a bit more. That, at least, would make Sikong Ling less wary. Given Han Yu’s nature, he would not negligently remove Su Wenyue from safety.

Sikong Ling frowned, showing his dissatisfaction, “If the person has already woken up, why is she not yet out of danger? It’s said that Divine Doctor Mu has the best medical skills in the world, but that seems a bit exaggerated.”

Han Yu did not elaborate further on Divine Doctor Mu’s medical skills, simply saying, “Although she has awakened, my wife has always been physically weak. After going through this ordeal, her constitution has thinned further. Moreover, she was greatly scared before. That she is doing this well is already a positive sign. Perhaps Divine Doctor Mu was being cautious, which is why he didn’t make any concrete statements. If Young Master Sikong feels that we have been imposing too long in Peach Blossom Valley, please do us the favor of allowing me to take my wife and leave. I believe with Divine Doctor Mu’s presence, there shouldn’t be too much danger. As for Divine Doctor Mu’s requirements, Lady Yue is my wife, and the costs he proposed shouldn’t be borne by Young Master Sikong. Whatever is needed, I will provide it to Divine Doctor Mu.”

Han Yu had asked Divine Doctor Mu to make extravagant demands, not with the intention of actually expecting Sikong Ling to pay, but to avoid raising Sikong Ling’s suspicions. He was not shameless enough to let another man lavish attentions on his wife.

“My stance is the same as before, you can leave, but taking someone else with you is another matter,” Sikong Ling said coolly, throwing a sidelong glance at Han Yu. Previously, there had been no choice but to call Han Yu over, but now that Su Wenyue had awakened, the man was no longer so significant, and his continued presence was rather bothersome to Sikong Ling. He wished Han Yu would leave sooner rather than later. As for letting Han Yu take Su Wenyue away, naturally, that was out of the question.

Han Yu’s expression turned unpleasant, but he was aware that Sikong Ling wouldn’t agree on this matter. Su Wenyue was not in a state to leave just yet, and he had only spoken that way to make his subsequent arrangements go more smoothly.

Sikong Ling didn’t fully trust Han Yu’s words and didn’t ask him any further about Su Wenyue’s condition. Han Yu might not speak truthfully, and Sikong Ling might not believe him anyway. After leaving Su Wenyue’s side, he went to Divine Doctor Mu, and only after hearing directly from Divine Doctor Mu about Su Wenyue’s condition did he believe, feeling somewhat disappointed.

“So, you’re saying Lady Yue, besides being physically weak and unable to bear stress, needing proper care, doesn’t have any other serious issues? However, the doctor told me that Lady Yue had a high fever before, and she might suffer an impact on her intelligence or memory. Does Divine Doctor Mu see such a possibility?” Su Wenyue had awakened, and it would naturally be obvious if her wits and memory were affected. Sikong Ling took the opportunity to inquire about Su Wenyue’s condition from Divine Doctor Mu.
