Chapter 853 - Chapter 853 Chapter 853 Discovering Shes Hurt

Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Discovering She’s Hurt Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Discovering She’s Hurt The dinner tonight was not much different from the one Su Yunjin prepared for the old Dowager Duchess at the Prince Qi Residence: it featured coarse grain noodles, accompanied by several cold appetizers that served to whet the appetite.

Handing Gu Ya his bowl and chopsticks, Su Yunjin also took a seat opposite him, “Husband, Mother has been injured, so I plan to visit her tomorrow as well.”

In addition to checking on Mrs. An, she could also let Lord Gu Chengxiang look at the wound, and without needing Su Yunjin to check, she knew Mrs. An would require those medicines for her injuries from the market incident.

Planning to visit the Gu Family tomorrow, Su Yunjin intended to first stop by the pharmacy to get medicine for Mrs. An, then go to the Gu Family’s home to see her. Su Yunjin mentioned the visit to Mrs. An, but Gu Ya’s attention was fixed on Su Yunjin’s hand.

He grabbed it at once.

“Yunjin, what happened to your hand?” During the day’s encounter with the thief, Su Yunjin had stumbled while chasing the thief, grazing her hand. It no longer hurt.

But a scar remained.

Though Su Yunjin hadn’t initially planned to keep the injury she got at the market while fighting off a thief a secret from Gu Ya, after he discovered the wound on her hand, she outright told him about it.

“Husband, I accidentally took a fall while catching a thief at the market today. It’s nothing serious, just a small injury, a bit of scraped skin–it’ll be healed in a couple of days,” Su Yunjin said, downplaying the incident.

Gu Ya’s expression, however, was grave as he squeezed his wife’s hand a bit more forcefully, “Catching a thief? What thief?”

Could his wife have been victimized by a thief?

“Husband, you’re hurting me,” Su Yunjin winced as she withdrew her hand from Gu Ya’s grasp, as he had indeed caused her pain. Su Yunjin was rather displeased.

How could that man be so strong?

Realizing he had hurt his wife, Gu Ya promptly let go of her hand but persisted in inquiring what exactly had happened. Su Yunjin pulled her hand back.

Nonchalantly, she told Gu Ya, “Husband, I encountered a petty thief at the market today. He stole my purse, and I went after him.”

“So, you fell while chasing him?” Gu Ya continued, following along with Su Yunjin’s explanation.

Su Yunjin nodded, “Yes.” That was indeed the fact.

Upon learning how his wife’s hand had been injured,

Gu Ya scolded her sternly with a darkened face.

“Yunjin, it’s just a purse. If it’s gone, it’s gone. As long as you are unharmed, that’s what matters. What if the thief had been a desperate and vicious criminal? What would you have done if you were injured chasing after him?”

He wasn’t by his wife’s side.

Most such thieves were ruthless; compared to his wife, to Gu Ya, money or anything else was insignificant.

The silver could be lost.

It could be earned back.

If his wife were to get hurt,

it would not be worth it.

At the time, Su Yunjin only thought about retrieving her stolen purse without considering much else. But now, pondering calmly,

she acknowledged that Gu Ya had a point. If the thief who had stolen her silver had indeed been a desperate criminal, the consequences of her pursuit could have been unimaginable.

“Husband, don’t overthink it. Where are all these ‘what ifs’ coming from? I’m fine now, aren’t I? There’s no need for you to worry. Besides, I got my purse back.” The purse contained her gold leaves! A handful of gold leaves awarded to her by the old Dowager Duchess.

Such valuable items.

Had the thief truly made off with it, the loss would have been substantial, wouldn’t it?

Gu Ya eyed his wife, “Yunjin, you even managed to get the purse back?” The purse was retrieved with the help of Young Master Chu; thinking back, she knew that she could never have managed it on her own.

When Gu Ya asked, Su Yunjin did not lie.

She shook her head.

“Husband, Young Master Chu helped me get the purse back.”
