Su Xuening was startled by Xuan Yuanzhan's sudden intimacy and playfully slapped him, but he showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and held her even tighter.
Su Xuening quickly collapsed into Xuan Yuanzhan's arms, letting him do whatever he wanted.
After a long while, Xuan Yuanzhan reluctantly let go of her, and, fearing she might lose her balance, he picked her up completely.
Su Xuening instinctively hugged his neck and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Did he say something to his mother? Or did they have some kind of disagreement?
Seeing her worried look, Xuan Yuanzhan smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll take Yun'an back in a bit. You wait for me to come back."
"Mmm," Su Xuening responded softly.
Where else could she go if she didn't wait for him to come back?
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned as he looked at the simple little bundle on the table and said, "Is this all you packed?"
Su Xuening raised an eyebrow: "Yun An is growing up fast, and his clothes and shoes no longer fit, so I prepared some clothes and shoes for him. His master has all the others."
Xuan Yuanzhan thought of the long robe and short jacket she had been holding every day a few days ago, and immediately felt a pang of jealousy: "So the clothes you made a few days ago were for Yun An!"
He thought it was made for him, but he always told her not to do it, and that these things could be left to the embroiderers in the Prince's mansion.
But she said that she had nothing to do in the Prince's mansion. Her mother and the old nanny took care of all the children's clothes and shoes. When she was with her mother, she would do some embroidery, just to keep her mother company.
Unexpectedly, these clothes and shoes weren't for him. Xuan Yuanzhan knew he shouldn't be jealous of Yun An. After all, their mother had passed away, and Yun An only had Ning'er as family. The siblings had such a good relationship, so it was only natural for Ning'er to dote on him.
But he still felt a little jealous because his wife didn't make any of the clothes for him.
Su Xuening could easily see through his little scheme, so she patted his shoulder and said, "Put me down, I have something for you."
"What?" Xuan Yuanzhan was a little confused.
"Put me down first." Su Xuening was unwilling to tell him directly.
Helpless, Xuan Yuanzhan carefully put her down.
Su Xuening went to the inner room and took out a set of undergarments from the wardrobe: "I made several sets of clothes and shoes for Yun'an, so I didn't have time to make an outer robe for you. I can only make you an inner garment first. Try it on in a while to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I will alter it for you."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes lit up instantly. He no longer cared about inner or outer garments and excitedly took the clothes and pants from Su Xuening's hands, happily looking them over: "So you made clothes and pants for me! I told you to let the embroiderers in the manor do these things."
Su Xuening saw the undisguised joy on his face and deliberately said, "You don't want it? Then I'll alter it for Yun'an to wear."
Su Xuening made a move to take the clothes and pants back.
"Yes, yes, yes! Who said I don't want it?" Xuan Yuanzhan was anxious and grabbed the clothes. Looking at the smile in Su Xuening's eyes, he coughed awkwardly and said, "My size is so different from Yun'an's. It's better to redo it than alter it. You're pregnant, so just have the embroiderer make a few more for Yun'an. This set is for me."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhan happily held up the clothes to himself, looking so vain that it seemed as if he were holding an outer robe instead of an inner garment.
Su Xuening was defeated by him and reminded him with a smile, "Go try it on, it can be altered if it doesn't fit."
Xuan Yuanzhan gestured briefly and knew that the undergarment Su Xuening had made fit perfectly. He hugged her and laughed, "You know my measurements best, so you definitely won't make a mistake."
It was a serious statement, but to Su Xuening, it sounded somewhat inappropriate.
Su Xuening blushed and pushed him away: "Alright, didn't you say you were going to take Yun'an back? Go quickly, and come back sooner rather than later."
As she spoke, Su Xuening stuffed the bundle she had packed for Su Yun'an into Xuan Yuanzhan's arms.
Xuan Yuanzhan, realizing he still had things to do, stopped lingering with Su Xuening and said, "I'm going now. I'll talk to you when I get back tonight."
"Okay," Su Xuening replied obediently.
Xuan Yuanzhan affectionately kissed Su Xuening's forehead, then left with his bundle.
Outside in the small bamboo grove, Su Yun'an was still diligently practicing his swordsmanship.
"Yun'an!" Xuan Yuanzhan called out towards the bamboo forest.
Su Yun'an's long sword, which he was wielding, suddenly stopped, its sharp tip slicing through the bamboo leaves that were flying in the air.
Upon hearing Xuan Yuanzhan's shout, Su Yun'an quickly sheathed his sword and ran out of the bamboo forest: "Brother-in-law, sister."
"You're sweating profusely again." Su Xuening saw that Su Yun'an was covered in sweat, so she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Seeing that he was also wet, Su Xuening looked at Bihe and said, "Go and get a cloak for the young master."
"Yes," Bihe replied, and quickly went to fetch a cloak.
Seeing that Su Xuening was going to drape a cloak over him, Su Yun'an was a little embarrassed: "I'm fine, how could a martial artist like me be so delicate!"
Su Xuening was amused by him, but still draped the cloak over him: "You're all sweaty, you'll catch a cold when the wind blows."
Su Xuening then added, "Why don't we go back to our room and change our clothes first? We'll be riding in a carriage for a long time, and we'll definitely catch a cold if we get chilled by the wind."
Xuanyuan Zhan chuckled and patted Su Yun'an on the shoulder: "What kind of man rides a carriage? Let's ride back on horseback!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yun'an's eyes lit up: "Yes, I also like horseback riding. I came here on horseback, and I'm very good at it now. I don't need to take a carriage anymore!"
After saying that, Su Yun'an realized, "Hey~ is brother-in-law coming back with me?"
Xuanyuan Zhan smiled and replied, "Your sister isn't feeling well, I'll take you back."
Su Yun'an glanced at Su Xuening's increasingly large belly and naturally couldn't bear to let her see him off: "Actually, there's no need to see me off. I can find my way back on my own."
Since he was able to come alone, he can naturally go back alone, without needing to trouble his sister and brother-in-law.
“We’re worried about you going back alone. Let me take you. Your sister has packed everything for you.” Xuan Yuanzhan waved the bundle in his hand.
Su Xuening also said, "I'll have your brother-in-law take you, but before you leave, go back to your room and change your clothes. I just made you a few new outfits, so go and change."
Riding a horse like that would expose him to the wind, and it would be strange if he didn't catch a cold after riding back soaking wet.
Su Xuening took the bundle back from Xuan Yuanzhan's hand and stuffed it into Su Yun'an's hand: "Go back to your room and change quickly."
She measured his body a few days ago, and the size should be fine.
"Then I'll go change." Naturally happy to have new clothes to wear, Su Yun'an grabbed her bag and ran back to her room.
