Chapter 151 Xu Chumian is suspected of being pregnant
Xu Chumian was utterly helpless against Zhao Yu.
She glared at Zhao Yu, her bright eyes quickly filling with bitterness.
Zhao Yu pursed his lips, released her, and leaned against her side, showing none of the upright and dignified demeanor of Lord Zhao.
Xu Chumian bit her lip and moved further inside.
Zhao Yu suddenly turned his head and said, "If you move a little further away, I'll hug you."
Xu Chumian angrily threw a pillow at him: "You shameless!"
Zhao Yu curled his lips and looked at Xu Chumian, saying each word clearly, "So, you are now my wife."
If Zhao Yu weren't shameless, he wouldn't have had any trouble at all.
Zhao Yu patted her on the shoulder, "Alright, get some sleep, we still have dinner tonight."
Xu Chumian frowned, her back to Zhao Yu, and closed her eyes after a long while.
The person behind her was close to her.
Zhao Yu pressed his ear against Xu Chumian's neck and whispered, "Chumian, look at me again."
Xu Chumian's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not open her eyes.
That night, the young couple went to the old lady's courtyard again.
Madam Zhao took a good look at the two of them.
She asked Xu Chumian to sit next to her and said, "Chumian, if you suffer any grievances in the future, tell your grandmother. He'an is usually busy with official duties, so please bear with him if he is negligent."
Xu Chumian moved her lips and replied with an "okay".
Madam Zhang was somewhat relieved.
Throughout the entire process, Zhao Yu's eyes never left Xu Chumian.
Zhang cursed her son inwardly for being a disgrace.
After dinner, Zhao Yu and Xu Chumian walked back to Heyun Courtyard side by side.
There were few people on the road, and no one was watching, so Xu Chumian simply shook off Zhao Yu's hand.
Zhao Yu's palm was empty, and he looked to his side.
Xu Chumian was a step away from him.
"You should go back first."
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Aren't you going back?"
Xu Chumian looked away, "It's none of your business."
Zhao Yu smiled slowly, "If you're not in the courtyard when we're newlyweds, it will arouse suspicion. Does the young master's wife want the whole mansion to know that our relationship is not good?"
Xu Chumian moved her lips, "Anyway, it's the truth, so it doesn't matter if people know."
Xu Chumian has completely let her guard down.
They don't care about anything.
Zhao Yu stretched out his long arm and pulled the person directly into his arms.
"That won't do. Chu Mian doesn't care, but I do."
Xu Chumian gave Zhao Yu a strange look.
In his previous life, after Zhao Yu became regent, rumors circulated that he was ruthless and killed indiscriminately, and all sorts of negative labels were attached to him.
At that time, Xu Chumian felt extremely sorry for Zhao Yu.
Now it seems that Zhao Yu has completely abandoned all pretense of shame!
Xu Chumian snorted coldly, "Whatever."
After saying that, Xu Chumian headed forward.
Zhao Yu grabbed her wrist and carried her directly back to Heyun Courtyard.
After walking along this path, you will reach the entrance of the courtyard.
Xu Chumian didn't want the maids and nannies in the courtyard to laugh at her, so she quickly patted Zhao Yu's shoulder and arm.
"Let go of me."
Zhao Yu twitched his lips. "I'm a man who cares about my reputation. I need my career, and you can't give it up either."
In the courtyard, several maids, led by Granny Liang, were all smiling.
Xu Chumian was extremely embarrassed.
She buried her face in Zhao Yu's clothes, her face filled with shame and indignation.
Zhao Yu instructed Granny Liang and the others to prepare hot water.
Back in the inner room, Xu Chumian stood gracefully in front of Zhao Yu.
Why did you act like that just now?
Zhao Yu looked down at her with a smile, "What's wrong with embracing my wife?"
Xu Chumian was covered with a layer of solid ice, which Zhao Yu then broke apart little by little.
One day, the ice and snow will melt away.
Xu Chumian calmed her breathing. She felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. She frowned and calculated the time of her period, estimating that it would be in the next few days.
She glanced at Zhao Yu one last time, picked up her undergarments, and went to the restroom.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Zhao Yu decided to stop. He walked out of the house, where Guan Yan was waiting anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is critically ill, and the Eastern Palace has issued an urgent order."
Zhao Yu's expression turned cold. "Enter the palace immediately."
Before leaving, Zhao Yu went back into the house and went straight into the bathroom, where Xu Chumian was wiping her body.
Startled by the noise, she quickly threw all the petals beside her onto the water's surface, leaving only her round head above water.
Before Xu Chumian could speak, Zhao Yu leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"An urgent order from the palace! I'm going to the palace now."
Seeing his anxiety, Xu Chumian couldn't help but say, "Then you go."
Zhao Yuyou stared at her with his dark eyes. "I suffered because of this in my past life. I'm newly married and still want to spend my whole life with her."
Xu Chumian looked into his dark, inky eyes.
She submerged herself in the water, lowered her eyes to stare at the surface, and remained silent.
Zhao Yu patted her head one last time.
"I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back."
As Zhao Yu stood up, Xu Chumian's voice rang out softly, "Be careful on the road, don't get hurt."
Zhao Yu paused slightly, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Xu Chumian, his eyes filled with profound meaning.
Xu Chumian couldn't help but glare at him again.
Give Zhao Yu a pole, and he can climb up it.
The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
The room quickly quieted down.
Xu Chumian leaned against the edge of the wooden tub, her thoughts racing. What major event had caused Zhao Yu to rush into the palace so hastily...?
Just then, Xu Chumian felt pain in her lower abdomen again.
She frowned, and as she stood up, her gaze swept over the marks on her body.
Pretending not to see, Xu Chumian dried herself off, put on her robe, and went outside, calling out to Xiao Tao again.
When did my period start last month?
Xiao Tao hesitated and said, "Princess... young mistress, have you forgotten that you didn't have your period last month?"
Xu Chumian then remembered that last month she was in a bad mood and busy escaping from the capital. After all that, she should have arrived at the end of the month, but it was delayed until the ninth day of this month.
Xu Chumian pursed her lips. "It should be in the next couple of days."
Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, young mistress, ginger tea is always on hand."
Xu Chumian responded with a soft "hmm".
Zhao Yu wasn't in the house, so Xu Chumian felt much more at ease being alone.
She leaned against the soft couch and casually picked up a book from the bookshelf to read.
The sound of the night watchman's drum rang out from outside.
Xu Chumian felt sleepy, so she put down her book and went back to bed.
To prevent being woken up by the pain in the middle of the night, Xu Chumian took a hand warmer to warm her stomach before going to bed.
She drifted off to sleep, feeling warm all over.
I didn't open my eyes until the next day.
Xu Chumian felt much more comfortable, though the bedding beside her was still wrinkled.
There was no one in the house.
Did Zhao Yu come back last night?
Xu Chumian put on her robe and went to the washroom.
Hot water had already been prepared inside, and maids had even come in to help.
Xu Chumian shook her head. After washing up, she left the room.
Granny Liang was directing the maids to set out breakfast.
"The young mistress is awake."
Xu Chumian hummed in agreement. She glanced around and casually asked, "Where's Zhao Yu?"
Granny Liang's expression remained unchanged, but she was surprised in her heart.
It seems that the young mistress holds a very important place in the young master's heart.
Even in the homes of officials, no one would directly address their husband by his given name.
Granny Liang smiled and said, "The young master is practicing his sword over in the bamboo grove."
As they were talking, Zhao Yu had already sheathed his sword and come over.
He was dressed in a black outfit, his sharp waistline sparking the imagination.
Xu Chumian turned around expressionlessly and went straight into the house without waiting for Zhao Yu.
Granny Liang was taken aback.
Zhao Yu approached and tossed the sword to Guan Yan.
"It's nothing."
