Spring Night's Embrace

When they were young, Yan Huinan was a spoiled, domineering, and somewhat incompetent scion. But his father was the formidable Marquis Dingbei, who commanded the four seas, and his mother was a bel...

Chapter 53 Autumn Wind Mistake [Edit] She is Pregnant

But Si Wen had to remind Yan Huinan that this might not be a simple letter home, "If Madam tells Xie the thief about your injury, then..."

"Enough!" Yan Huinan interrupted Si Wen coldly, his voice low. "Even if Xie Qingyun planned this and the Daliang army is approaching, so what? I want Xie Qingyun's life. It's just right that he's here."

As for what Xie Yun would do in this, and what role she would play, he could just treat it as a joke and ignore it. He tried to think, why was he like this, why did it have to be Xie Yun?

There's always a reason for doing something. He'd thought about why he had to be with Xie Yun. Every time he looked at her sleeping face, he'd start thinking about that reason.

But he spent countless nights trying to figure it out, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish the tender moments when she snuggled up to him.

Perhaps only Yan Huinan, having experienced loss and separation, could truly grasp this feeling. He had no parents, no lover, and even lost the ability to love. For the first five years, his world consisted of nothing but dust, blood, wounds, pain, and hatred. He was like the sharp blade of the Great Zhou, a ruthless killing machine.

But when he heard the good news announced by Lou Cheng, he was about to marry Xie Yun.

Yan Huinan's heart, seemingly dead for so long, began to beat once more, shaking off the thick dust and throbbing with life. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, a bitter ache. He was filled with jealousy. He sat in the barracks for a whole day and night, clutching the undelivered victory bulletin.

He only remembered being mad with jealousy.

Why was it Lou Cheng? That coward who had to bow his head to everyone he met? It was Yan Huinan who had been holding the little girl's hand and growing up together.

Was it because Xie Qingyun had defected to Daliang? Was it because Lou Cheng had no grudge against her? But Xie Qingyun was just using Xie Yun as a pawn. Why should Xie Yun's life be dictated by Xie Qingyun? Of course, it felt bad to be exploited.

But the worse feeling was that he had truly lost Xie Yun. And in another sense, he had lost her forever. The meaning of his life became even more tenuous, just for revenge. It seemed that once revenge was accomplished, he could die. Like a stray dog ​​that no one wanted, or a wandering ghost who had to seek revenge before he could be reincarnated.

So when he knew Xie Yun had run away from her marriage, he was so excited that he almost went crazy.

He led his army on a journey day and night until he reached Qingzhou. He knew that if Xie Yun ran away from her marriage and wanted to return to the Great Zhou, she would definitely pass through Qingzhou. So he waited there and looked for her.

He wanted to find Xie Yun. He couldn't bear to see the person he had protected since childhood be with any other man. Even if Xie Yun hated him, so what?

On the way back to the capital with Xie Yun, Yan Huinan couldn't help but laugh at himself: Tsk, Yan Huinan, you are just a stray dog ​​that no one wants. Xie Yun threw you a stinky bone, but you held on to it.

But he finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, and his heart was still beating wildly with joy at finding her. It was a throbbing that could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried.

One person's obsession with another is completely without reason. This kind of reasonlessness is not really without reason. Because he can find countless reasons for missing Xie Yun: she is more special than anyone he has ever met, very smart, and although she is occasionally confused, this is very cute in Yan Huinan's eyes;

She was very strong, and she was willing to grit her teeth and persevere no matter how hard or difficult the situation was. When the two of them made mistakes together, Xie Yun never leaked the secrets. This seemed like a small matter, but he just couldn't forget it;

She is talented and knows everything. Even Yan Huinan occasionally looks up to his wife, and she is his pride.

This was for no reason at all. When he tried to think of the bad things about Xie Yun, he would involuntarily only see the good things about Xie Yun and add thousands of reasons to her goodness.

So as long as he didn't intercept it and didn't actually see the contents of the letter, he was willing to believe that it was just an ordinary letter from home.

Si Wen: “Yes.”

On the way to the backyard, Yan Huinan's expression was dark and gloomy, but the next moment he raised his eyes and saw a bright color in the distance. Xie Yun, wearing a yellow plain shirt with a sunflower fan and a dark red skirt with pomegranate patterns, was running towards him hurriedly, followed by Han Zhen holding two oil-paper umbrellas in his arms.

"Han Zhen, hurry up, it's too late." Xie Yun turned around and urged.

Han Zhen saw Yan Huinan who had already returned, and said dejectedly, "Madam, it's too late."

"Ah?" After Xie Yun let out a puzzled sigh, she followed Han Zhen's gaze and saw Yan Huinan standing not far away, looking at her leisurely with his arms folded, a slight smile on his lips.

He suddenly felt better.

Xie Yun slowed down her pace and walked up to Yan Huinan with an embarrassed look on her face.

Yan Huinan raised an eyebrow: "Madam, are you in a hurry to pick me up?"

"Ah, yes." Xie Yun replied, "I woke up and saw it was raining outside. I thought you might get wet, so I planned to go to the door to greet you..."

I just didn't expect him to get home so soon.

She has been strangely sleepy lately and always feels sleepy in the afternoon. She has never been so sleepy before.

Before Xie Yun finished speaking, Yan Huinan, whose mood had just hit rock bottom, suddenly felt very happy. His heart was filled with joy. He stepped forward and hugged Xie Yun, pressing her to his chest. He was both angry and amused, "If you had only gone to the door to greet me, I would have gotten all the rain I needed to get."

Xie Yun was caught off guard and hugged tightly. Before she could react, she said, "I don't want to run that far."

"Yeah, nothing." Yan Huinan was easily satisfied. Although Yue Rong would go out of the house to greet her husband, Yan Huinan would not ask Xie Yun to do the same.

People are different. Xie Yun remembered to bring him an umbrella, whether it was at the door or anywhere else, whether it was one umbrella or two, Yan Huinan didn't care. Because he knew that was Xie Yun's character. She remembered him, which proved that he was not dispensable in her heart.

He could see that Li Wei and Yue Rong had been together for years, and their bond was deep enough. But he and Xie Yun had lost trust over the years, and these things needed to be rebuilt, which was no easy task.

He is willing to learn all these things from scratch. He is very patient.

But Xie Yun had her own reasons for trying to please Yan Huinan. She had something to ask for. "I want to ask you for something."

Yan Huinan had long been accustomed to Xie Yun's habit of wanting a whole pot of food for every date she gave him. "What's the matter?"

Xie Yun: "Well - let's not talk about it for now."

If she told Yan Huinan now that she wanted to go to Jiangnan, he wouldn't easily agree. He would probably try to stop her like he had before. Yan Huinan's forces were simply too numerous, and she and Fei Jing had little chance of escaping alone.

But since Yan Huinan now allows Fei Jing to stay with her, then as long as she talks nicely and makes him happy, going to Jiangnan is not impossible.

Yan Huinan didn't know what Xie Yun was thinking. But every time he came home, he would see her either admiring the flowers and playing with the dog, or coming to talk to him, or just standing aside and ignoring him.

He felt that this was a kind of Xiaoman, filling his incomplete life.

-

A few days before the autumn hunt, Prince Rui frequently visited the General's Mansion. He also wanted to participate in the autumn hunt, so he came to the General's Mansion to practice riding and shooting.

Xie Yun would occasionally offer some pointers when she had nothing else to do. But Fei Jing was there, and when Prince Rui grew tired from horseback archery practice, Xie Yun would prepare some snacks for him, letting him rest while he watched Fei Jing sign language. Xie Yun would then translate for Prince Rui what each sign language phrase meant.

However, Xie Yun had never taught systematically, so at the beginning she and Fei Jing had no idea how to teach. After a day or two of experience, Xie Yun consciously broke down Fei Jing's movements bit by bit and taught them to King Rui.

When Prince Rui was facing people who were good to him and familiar to him, such as Xie Yun, he was willing to communicate with them. However, when he was in front of people he was not familiar with, he still avoided communicating with them.

Teaching Prince Rui sign language is only temporary, as it won't work if he encounters someone who doesn't know how to sign. The main goal is to gradually help Prince Rui open up and become willing to speak.

He was different from Fei Jing, who would never speak again in his life and was a complete mute. But as long as King Rui overcame his psychological barriers, he could still speak.

Prince Rui was also willing to learn sign language. Fei Jing was currently teaching simple things. After teaching a group, he would let Prince Rui memorize it for a while. If he didn't understand something, he could ask. Only when he could repeat the simple group would he be taught a new one.

Xie Yun cut a piece of salty and sweet Yuntiao pastry for Prince Rui. The pastries that Yan Huinan bought last time were all eaten by Prince Rui. These were newly bought.

But the strange thing was that just a short while after she cut the cake and handed it to King Rui, she felt a strong urge to vomit.

She endured the discomfort and placed the cake in Prince Rui's hand, then hurried back to the house and took a sip of tea to suppress the feeling of vomiting in her stomach.

Han Zhen, who was standing by, asked worriedly, "Did Madam eat something bad? That's why you feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

Xie Yun suddenly thought of something, and she put her hand on her own pulse and began to take it.

Counting the days, it had been a month and a half since Yan Huinan's detoxification. Her period was delayed, and she had originally thought it was due to the effects of the female Gu and the inducer, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But now, looking at her pulse... it was beating and happy.

She's pregnant?!

Even when removing the poison, Yan Huinan kept his promise and didn't put it in. Xie Yun was still careless. The contraceptive medicine was harmful to her body, so she didn't drink it again. However, she thought it was unlikely to happen, but it unexpectedly happened.

Xie Yun's mood was very complicated and confused. She had not thought about this matter, nor was she prepared for it: "Han Zhen... I'm pregnant."

Han Zhen was surprised and couldn't help but smile. She looked at Xie Yun's belly in disbelief and walked around Xie Yun again and again, as if she was happier than having a child herself.

She had already begun to imagine what kind of clothes and toys she would make for the young master in the future.

But Xie Yun touched her lower abdomen in confusion, still unable to accept that... there was a little life here.

It is her and Yan Huinan's child.

She stayed in the room for a long time, her thoughts in great confusion, drifting far away. When Prince Rui came to ask if she was ill, she absentmindedly said no, and told him to go home early and come back tomorrow.

During this long period of contemplation, Xie Yun struggled with the soft side of her heart. However, this child was simply not suitable for her body. She didn't want this child.

She couldn't guarantee that she could give the child a complete and happy family. Her own life was a mess, like a duckweed in the rain. And wasn't Xie Yun's mother dragged down by her?

Otherwise, Madam Yu was once a person with lofty ambitions and the means to make a living. Why would she give up her position as the legal wife and become a concubine? It was simply because she and Xie Qingyun had two children...

But what happened to Madam Yu? She died in agony in Jiangnan, abandoned and still alone. Xie Yun blamed herself for not being able to visit her.

Even the relocation of the grave was done by Fei Jing.

I'm sorry, my child. If it were a happy time, your mother would be looking forward to welcoming you. But now is not the time.

Han Zhen saw that Xie Yun was not in a good condition and was very worried: "Madam, should we tell the general about this?"

Xie Yun shook her head: "No need."

After she finished speaking, Xie Yun seemed to have made a great decision. She turned around and wrote a prescription. With a firm look in her eyes, she said to Han Zhen, "Han Zhen, take this prescription and get the medicine tomorrow morning."

Han Zhen took it: "What is this?"
