"I had someone send her back," Han Yu nodded, indicating he had planned to tell his daughter-in-law all along. Seeing her curiosity grow, he suddenly felt the urge to tease her and stopped mid-sentence, purposely not continuing his thought.
"Just like that?" Su Wenyue blinked, finding his response too concise. She wanted to know more than that; usually, Han Yu understood her thoughts, so why today, after her clear hints, did he not get it? Instead, he just took off his coat and prepared to wash up as if he was ready for bed.
"Yes, just like that. What else could I do? She's a woman; should I have kept her at the mansion? I thought you sent someone to dispel my thoughts because you couldn't stand that woman's chatter and wanted me to send her away for you. It seems I misunderstood your intentions," Han Yu perhaps misunderstood Su Wenyue on purpose, deliberately saying so, with an air as if he realized that he meddled where he wasn't needed.
