Unlike other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, Wen Jinyu and He Yuhan don't have any of the discord or estrangement that often occurs between them. They get along very well, just like a mother and daughter.
The two of them would sometimes read a book together and then discuss the characters and plot from time to time.
Sometimes the two of them would practice calligraphy together and discuss their ideas about it.
The two talked mostly about medicine, and often read medical books together, studying the medical notes and prescriptions passed down from the Wen family.
They found they had so much in common after spending so much time together, and it seemed like they had endless things to talk about every day. Even Han Yixian noticed this.
He felt that he and his wife didn't have as much to talk about as other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and he was even a little jealous.
When Han Yi returned home that evening, he saw his mother and daughter-in-law chatting and laughing as they cooked together. They greeted him when they saw him and then continued their conversation.
Han Yixian felt that his wife was ignoring him too much, and he needed to find a sense of belonging.
After dinner, Han Yi took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash them before pulling his wife into the bedroom.
He Yuhan noticed that Han Yixian was behaving strangely and asked, "Brother Yi, what's wrong today? Why are you unhappy? Did something happen at work?"
Han Yixian said, seemingly aggrieved, "You're ignoring me now. You don't talk to me when I come home every day."
He Yuhan looked at Han Yixian with great curiosity. Was he being affectionate with her? This was truly an unexpected and strange occurrence.
He Yuhan said, "I was just chatting with Mom, what, you're not jealous of her, are you?"
Han Yixian, annoyed by his wife's words, pounced on He Yuhan and threw her onto the bed. With his body hovering above her, he said with a roguish air, "Well, huh? You dare to mock your man now. I guess I've been neglecting you lately because I'm not assertive enough. I need to assert my authority as your husband."
As he spoke, he bent down to kiss He Yuhan.
He Yuhan was startled by Han Yixian's sudden action and couldn't help but cry out.
That one sound terrified Wen Jinyu. She had been worried that her son, young and impetuous, might hurt the baby in his wife's womb if he pulled his wife into the house.
Upon hearing his daughter-in-law's cry, he immediately disregarded everything and barged into Han Yixian's bedroom.
She immediately spotted her son on her daughter-in-law's body and was so frightened that she grabbed Han Yixian's ear and dragged him off the bed.
Han Yixian was just teasing He Yuhan. He knew he was protecting his wife's belly and was being very careful. But he didn't expect his mother to barge in. His mother misunderstood their little romantic moment and dragged him off the bed by the ear.
Han Yixian felt a sharp pain in his ear from being pulled and quickly begged for mercy, "Mommy, Mommy, it hurts, please let go."
Wen Jinyu realized she had overreacted, but still said, "Didn't I tell you? Yuhan is in her first trimester and you two can't have sex. Why are you still so inconsiderate?"
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, He Yuhan blushed deeply and immediately hid under the covers.
Upon hearing his mother's words, Han Yixian knew she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Mom, I didn't ignore it. I remembered your instructions. I was just joking with Yuhan, I didn't really mean anything by it."
Wen Jinyu snorted and said, "Your words are not to be believed. From now on, you and Yuhan will sleep in separate rooms to prevent you from bothering Yuhan and harming the baby in her belly."
Han Yixian was stunned upon hearing this. "No, Mom, is this really necessary? I was just joking around with Yuhan. I really didn't mean anything by it. Mom, I can keep an eye on Yuhan tonight, and I can take care of her if anything happens to her."
He Yuhan couldn't help but chuckle under the covers as she listened to Han Yixian pleading for leniency from his mother.
Han Yixian, seeing his wife with her head covered by the blanket, worried that she might suffocate and quickly pulled the blanket away, saying, "Wife, don't cover your head with the blanket. What if you suffocate?"
Then he looked down and saw his worried wife secretly laughing under the covers, undoubtedly at him. That ungrateful little thing! He was about to be "exiled to the frontier," and she was still laughing, not even bothering to plead with her mother.
In the end, Han Yixian was indeed "exiled to the frontier" by his mother and was forced to sleep in the east room.
He Yuhan didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so resolute this time, and no matter how Han Yixian explained, it was no use.
Han Yixian truly regretted his joke. Why did he have to tease his wife like that? Now look what happened, he'll be spending the rest of his life alone.
The problem is that he's used to sleeping with his wife, and now he can't sleep without her by his side.
Not only Han Yixian couldn't sleep, but He Yuhan was also very uncomfortable and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
The end result was that neither of them slept well that night, and they both woke up with dark circles under their eyes the next morning. He Yuhan, in particular, looked rather listless.
Wen Jinyu was taken aback when she saw her son and daughter-in-law's appearance and asked, "Yuhan, did you not sleep well last night?"
Before He Yuhan could say anything, Han Yixian interjected, "Mom, it must be because I wasn't by Yuhan's side that she wasn't used to it and didn't get enough rest."
Mom, I'm really not used to it either, I can't sleep at night. Not getting enough rest will affect my work the next day. Look, we both have dark circles under our eyes.
Even if you don't think about me, you should at least think about the child in Yuhan's belly, your eldest grandson, right?
Please let me move back, I promise I won't cause any more trouble.
Looking at the expectant eyes of her son and daughter-in-law, Wen Jinyu said helplessly, "It's as if I'm the Queen Mother of the West who separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
"Alright, you can move back today, but I'm doing this so Yuhan can get some rest, so you have to promise not to bother her again."
Han Yixian happily assured her, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely carry out your orders strictly."
He Yuhan blushed and ate her food silently with her head down. When her mother-in-law wasn't looking, she glared at Han Yixian. He just knew how to use her as a shield.
After being "exiled to the frontier" for one night and then successfully returning, Han Yixian was delighted with himself at work all day.
He then thought that he should be happy that his wife and mother had a harmonious relationship. Others would love to have such a harmonious relationship, so he should be content.
Yu Huiru was very happy to see that her daughter and mother-in-law got along so well.
She also knew about Wen Jinyu's past relationship with her daughter and how she genuinely loved her. With such a mother-in-law, Yu Huiru was happy for her daughter.
With no worries about his family, Han Yixian devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. Every night when he returned home, his mother and wife were by his side, making him incredibly happy.
When the father came to L province again, the family was reunited.
