Chapter 138 Feeling Uneasy
Han Yu returned home with silver in his pocket, and there were a few things he bought for his wife. The Han family was not that wealthy, and even if he made money from hunting, most of it was used for household expenses. He didn't have much money on him, and he hadn't bought anything for his wife since she married him. Naturally, he was not stingy with the silver he earned this time, and he spent more than 20 taels of silver. Although it was a bit too much, Han Yu felt it was worth it when he thought about how happy his wife was when she received the gift.
Han Yu was dirty. He had been squatting in the mountains for a few days. His image was not very good, but his steps were very relaxed. This trip had gained more than expected. When the time came, his wife would be able to live a good life with him.
When he got home, Han Yu smelled a smell of medicine before he even entered the door. It was not from the kitchen at home, but from the small kitchen built temporarily by Xiaoxi. Han Yu's originally gentle expression on his face turned cold. He thought that his wife encountered robbers on the road last time. He was not at home for a few days this time. He didn't want his wife to have any trouble again. Especially when he saw that he had made a lot of noise when he came back, his wife had not appeared yet. If it had been before, she would have run out to greet him. His heart sank even more.
Han Yu didn't care about his dirty body. He walked into the room quickly and saw his wife lying on the bed as if she was asleep. When he got closer, he could see that her face was a little pale. It seemed that something really happened, otherwise his wife would not be sleeping in the bed in broad daylight, and her face was not good.
Han Yu wanted to know something, but Su Wenyue was asleep, so it was not easy to ask. Xiaoxi didn't know where she went, and Han Yu's face became colder and harder.
"Son-in-law, you're back!" Xiaoxi came in with a medicine bowl, and she was happy to see Han Yu back. It's good that son-in-law is back! Although the young lady didn't have any serious problems this time, she still looked unhappy. As a maid, she couldn't be more considerate than the male owner, and son-in-law was the backbone of their family. With the backbone back, the young lady's heart was settled.
"Xiaoxi, where have you been?" If Han Yu didn't know that Xiaoxi was a loyal maid, and definitely not a sneaky one, Han Yu wouldn't ask in such a good tone.
"Son-in-law, the eggs at home are almost gone, and I went to the village to buy some more, and also bought two chickens. The young lady is pregnant, and it's time to replenish her body. I have to make more delicious food for the young lady." Xiaoxi's mind is now full of how to take care of her young lady's body and give birth to a fat and white young master.
"Well, Yue Niang is not in good health, so give her more tonic." Han Yu nodded, thinking that Xiaoxi was quite considerate and knew how to take care of the master. After saying that, he felt something was wrong.
"Xiaoxi, you mean Yue Niang is pregnant!" Xiaoxi said it too naturally, and she said it in her words. Han Yu took a while to react, because this matter was too sudden. In addition to surprise, he looked a little silly.
Speaking of her young lady's pregnancy, Xiaoxi also smiled: "Yes, son-in-law, the young lady is pregnant. It has been more than a month, and it was just diagnosed."
Xiaoxi knew that her young lady was hiding something from her son-in-law, so she didn't forget to add a sentence at this time to help her young lady cover up, but Xiaoxi forgot how shrewd her son-in-law was. How could he be fooled by other people in the Han family? It would be better if she didn't add this sentence. Adding it would make it more obvious.
Han Yu thought about the secrets between the master and servant, and most likely this was it. He originally thought that his wife was sick, and was very worried at the time. It turned out that it was a reaction to pregnancy. Han Yu could not think of it before, but now that the questions were answered, he figured it all out.
Han Yu asked Xiaoxi about what happened during his days in the mountains. After hearing Xiaoxi's narration, Han Yu's joy faded a little. Pregnancy was such a big deal, but his wife actually hid it from her, and would rather make him worry than tell her. If he knew that his wife was pregnant, he would not be so anxious to go to the mountains, and he had to arrange the family more properly. Fortunately, he was lucky this time, otherwise if something happened to the child in his wife's belly, he would have a knot in his heart for the rest of his life, and his wife herself would definitely not feel good.
As for the Jiang family, Han Yu's face turned cold when he thought of this family. Previously, Yang Juxiang and her daughter always made things difficult for his wife, and Jiang Chunlan did such a thing. Now the boy from the Jiang family almost caused his wife to have a miscarriage, but that was just a half-grown boy, and it was not intentional. Even if Han Yu was angry, he couldn't go to the door for this matter. However, Jiang Chunlan stayed in prison for a few more days. He originally planned to let Jiang Chunlan suffer in prison and then get her out, so as not to make his mother feel bad. Now it seems that there is no need.
In fact, even if Su Wenyue didn't say it, Han Yu could probably guess the reason. He was angry that his wife didn't believe him, and he was angry that she didn't know the seriousness of the matter. And Xiaoxi was also an accomplice. She was really a loyal girl. She listened to her daughter-in-law in everything, and his words as a son-in-law were not so effective.
Xiaoxi was already feeling uneasy, and Han Yu glared at her fiercely, which made her scalp tingle. Her son-in-law was so smart that he must have guessed it. She was not worried about being punished, but the young lady was in real trouble. The young lady used to be fearless, and only the master in the family could control her a little. Now that she has married into the Han family, the son-in-law is the young lady's nemesis. The young lady, who was so arrogant before, was actually subdued by the son-in-law. However, Xiaoxi never dared to say these words out loud.
Su Wenyue opened her eyes when she woke up and saw Han Yu looking at her deeply. She didn't know what he was thinking. It was different from the doting look he usually gave her. His eyes looked deep and helpless, and there were some things she couldn't understand, which made her feel uneasy.
"Husband, you're back!" No matter what Su Wenyue thought in her heart, she showed a sweet smile on her face and tried to get up with her hands. She couldn't stand Han Yu looking at her like this.
"Slow down, why are you getting up so quickly? You're pregnant. How can you be a mother? You're really a worry." Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue's movements were a bit big, so he quickly helped her up and scolded her.
"Husband, you know I'm pregnant, are you happy?!" Su Wenyue asked with a smile, not asking how Han Yu knew it. It must have been Xiaoxi who told him. Besides, after being hit this time, everyone in the Han family knew about her pregnancy, so it was not surprising that Han Yu knew about it. She wanted to tell Han Yu the good news in person, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Han Yu didn't say anything after hearing what Su Wenyue said, and stared at Su Wenyue with that look, which made Su Wenyue feel uneasy.
