Madam Su glanced at her son-in-law's expression and, seeing that he was not displeased, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her satisfaction with Han Yu grew even stronger—she was relieved that she hadn't ruined this marriage arrangement back then, or she would have had much to regret. Not to mention Han Yu's abilities, he was now a respected general who commanded awe and authority. But even more notable was her son-in-law's patient and doting attitude toward her daughter. The genuine esteem and affection he had for her daughter was rare to find in the world, even if one searched with a lantern.
Madam Su knew her own daughter very well. She used to worry about her daughter's temperament; too naive and romantic, yet also willful. Even if her son-in-law was indulgent towards her daughter because of her outstanding beauty, it was not a long-term solution, for beauty would eventually fade.
