Chapter 564: Just in Case

Yuan Bao and the others were taken aback when they heard that Qiming wanted to take Su Yu away.

“What does he want?” They felt that Qiming’s actions were not as simple as they seemed.

“He probably wants to take me back to Qi Kingdom and disable my limbs, thinking that way I won’t be able to leave,” Su Yu casually remarked, leaning back in his chair.

He understood the kind of person Qiming was and naturally knew what methods he would use to deal with him.

In his past life, it was Qiming who had Yang Shanshan and her husband disable his limbs, rendering him unable to care for himself. After gradually losing his trusted aides, he could only stay in that courtyard, right?

Yuan Bao and Wan Gu’s expressions were grim. They thought of the Su Yu from their past life, disabled by that couple and confined to the courtyard, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

Now, Qiming actually wanted to use the same methods to deal with the young master?

“Young master…”

Su Yu shook his head with a smile. “It’s fine. He won’t have the chance in this lifetime.”

He was no longer the Su Yu of the past, who had no reservations and was without caution. In this lifetime, he had power, ability, and means. Most importantly, he was wary of Qiming and had lost the emotional bond he once had with him in his past life. Qiming wouldn’t have the chance to act again.

And the things that should have been given to the Emperor have already been given. Even if Qiming finds out, what can he do?

“Young master, are you really not concerned?” Yuan Bao hesitated for a moment and asked Su Yu.

Su Yu shook his head with a smile. “There’s nothing worth being concerned about. The past is in the past, and I’m doing well now.”

His important people are still by his side, and nothing is more important than that.

Yuan Bao looked at Su Yu seriously, as if to confirm whether what he said was true.

“So why are you looking at me like that? Worried that I’m lying?” What kind of expression was this? Did no one believe the truth anymore?

Yuan Bao hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “It’s not that we’re worried that the young master is lying, but that you might be keeping things to yourself and not telling us.”

He had kept these things to himself for several years, and even he had only overheard them. If those people hadn’t gone too far, how could the young master have told the old master about it?

“Anyways how did you guys know?” Su Yu sighed and said helplessly.

“We overheard it,” Yuan Bao said confidently, as if eavesdropping was a very honorable thing.

Su Yu twitched his mouth as he looked at Yuan Bao. He found it hard to bear his self-righteousness.

“Is that the only thing you know? You don’t know anything else?” Su Yu said irritably.

Besides, if he had told them at that time that he had died once and come back to life, who would believe him? Wouldn’t he be considered a lunatic?

“If I had told you back then that I had died once, would you have believed me?”

Listening to Su Yu’s words, Yuan Bao felt that what he said made sense. If he had said it directly, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.

After all, such a thing was unbelievable. Not only would he not believe it, but he might also think that the young master had lost his mind or was still half-asleep from a nightmare.

How else could he say such things?

Seeing Yuan Bao’s expression, Su Yu knew what he wanted to say.

For a moment, he looked somewhat at a loss for words and waved his hand. “In the future, keep an eye on Qiming. If he dares to lay a hand on Xiao He and Xiao Bao, there will be no need to show him any mercy.”

“If anyone dares to lay a hand on Young Master Xiao Bao, I’ll make them wish they were dead,” Wan Gu said, intending to discreetly trigger the poison in Qiming’s body, a simple matter for him.

“Who’s trying to harm Xiao Bao?” Wang Jinhe’s voice came from outside.

Wan Gu looked as if he had been caught by the throat, turning to look at Su Yu. What should they do now that the lady had arrived?

Su Yu silently turned his head away from Wan Gu and looked at Wang Jinhe. “Xiao He, why aren’t you resting?”

Glaring at Su Yu, Wang Jinhe walked over and sat down beside him. “Who were you just talking about harming Xiao Bao?”

“I will handle this matter. Don’t worry,” Su Yu reassured Wang Jinhe.

Wang Jinhe looked displeased. “Are you going to tell me or not?”

“Promise me you won’t get angry after hearing it, and try to stay calm,” Wang Jinhe was pregnant and couldn’t afford to get upset.

“Go ahead.”

Su Yu explained the situation to Wang Jinhe, but instead of getting angry, she remained surprisingly calm, leaving Su Yu and the others astonished. Could it be that Xiao He had lost her temper?

Wan Gu and Yuan Bao exchanged a glance, wondering if Wang Jinhe had been rendered speechless. How could she not react?

As they pondered, Wang Jinhe spoke up, “In the previous life, Qiming used Yang Shanshan and others to disable Su Yu, rendering him unable to leave the courtyard. It’s not surprising that he wants to forcibly take Su Yu back using the same method in this life. In the eyes of outsiders, I and Xiao Bao are Su Yu’s weaknesses, so there’s nothing to be angry about.”

Her only dissatisfaction was her lack of proficiency in non-agricultural matters, feeling that her abilities were still too weak.

“Wan Gu, prepare some poison for me. The more potent, the better. It should cause skin ulceration on contact, and then bring me the antidote,” Wang Jinhe said, squinting.

“It was a mistake not to bring Tangyuan and the others this time,” Wang Jinhe added, squinting with some dissatisfaction.

The people nearby looked at Wang Jinhe in astonishment. “Madam, what are you…”

“I don’t have martial arts skills, and now that I’m pregnant, if Qiming wants to make a move, I’m definitely a target. Give me some poison. If anyone dares to lay a hand on me, I’ll make sure they regret it,” she had been striving to adapt to the rules of this world since arriving, but some people just couldn’t stand to see her living a good life.

Qiming dared to harm Su Yu again, so he must be taught a lesson.

Su Yu reached out and embraced Wang Jinhe, reassuring her, “Xiao He, nothing will happen with me around.”

“I know, but this is just in case,” Wang Jinhe said earnestly, looking at Su Yu.

Being prepared for any eventuality, no one could guarantee that everything would be fine. What if there were some overlooked risks? If something happened to her, she couldn’t be sure how Su Yu would react.

Previously, she had spared the Yu and Gu families, but it was only for the iron mine and to let Xiruo suffer the consequences of her actions. The more important reason for Su Yu’s actions was that both she and the children were unharmed. Otherwise, if Su Yu hadn’t had grander plans, he wouldn’t spare those people.

Upon careful consideration, Wan Gu realized that what Wang Jinhe said was right. Although they had many people to protect the lady, no one could guarantee absolute safety.

“Madam, I will make the preparations later,” Wan Gu said.

Wang Jinhe nodded with a smile. “Good.”

After Wan Gu left, Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu. “Is there no way for us to deal with Qiming now?”

“There is a way, but we need to plan carefully and not act too hastily,” Su Yu replied.

Although Wang Jinhe was dissatisfied, she understood Su Yu’s intentions and reluctantly nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
