Han Yu returned home with the 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 some silver from hunting, most of it was used for household expenses. He did not have much money on him, and he had not bought anything for his wife since she married him. Naturally, he would not be stingy with the silver he earned this time, and he spent more than twenty 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 gifts.
Han Yu was dirty and had been hiding in the mountains for a few days. His appearance was not very good, but his steps were very relaxed. He gained more than he expected from this trip. When the time comes, his wife will be able to live a good life with him.
When he got home, Han Yu smelled a medicinal odor before he even entered the door. It was not coming from the kitchen at home, but from the small kitchen that Xiaoxi had temporarily built. The originally gentle expression on Han Yu's face turned cold, thinking about the last time his wife encountered robbers on the road. He would not be home for a few days this time. He didn't want something to happen to his wife again, especially seeing that he had made quite a noise when he came back. His wife still hadn't appeared. If it were the past, she would have run out to greet him long ago. His heart sank even more.
Han Yu didn't care about the dirt on his body and walked quickly into the room. He 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 on the bed in broad daylight, and her face didn't look good.
Han Yu wanted to know something, but it was difficult to ask since Su Wenyue was asleep. Xiaoxi had gone somewhere and Han Yu's face became increasingly cold.
"Son-in-law, you're back!" Xiaoxi came in with a medicine bowl, and was delighted to see Han Yu back. It's good that the son-in-law is back! Although the young lady didn't have any serious problems this time, she still looked unhappy. As a maid, no matter how caring she was, she couldn't compare to the male owner. Moreover, the son-in-law was the backbone of their family. When the backbone came back, the young lady's heart was settled.
"Xiao Xi, where have you been?" If Han Yu hadn't known that Xiao Xi was a loyal maid and definitely not a sneaky one, Han Yu wouldn't have asked in such a nice tone.
"Master, the eggs at home are running out, so I went to the village to buy some more, and also bought two chickens. The young lady is pregnant, and it is the time when she needs to replenish her body. I have to make more delicious food for her." Xiaoxi's mind is now full of how to take care of her young lady's body and give birth to a fat and fair little master.
"Well, Yue Niang is not in good health, so give her more supplements." Han Yu nodded. He felt that Xiaoxi was a thoughtful girl who knew how to take care of her master. But after he said that, he felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Xi, you mean Yue Niang is pregnant!" Xiao Xi said it too naturally, and she hinted at it in her words. Han Yu took a while to react, because this matter was so sudden that his face showed surprise and a bit of stupidity.
Talking about her young lady's pregnancy, Xiaoxi was all smiles: "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 husband-in-law, so she did not forget to add a sentence to cover it up for her young lady. However, Xiaoxi forgot how shrewd her husband-in-law was and how could he be fooled so easily as the other people in the Han family. It would have been better if she had not added this sentence. After adding it, it seemed that her attempt to cover up the truth made it even more obvious.
Han Yu thought of the secret things that the master and servant had been hiding from him, and it was most likely this. He originally thought that his wife was sick and was very worried at the time. It turned out to be a reaction during pregnancy. Han Yu could not think of it before, but now that he had figured it out, he understood everything.
Han Yu asked Xiaoxi about what happened during the past few days when he went into the mountains. After hearing Xiaoxi's narration, the joy on Han Yu's face diminished a little. Pregnancy was such a big deal, but his wife actually kept it a secret from her, preferring to make him worry rather than tell him. If he had known that his wife was pregnant, he would not have been so anxious to go to the mountains. He would have to arrange the family more properly. Fortunately, he was lucky this time, otherwise he would have had a knot in his heart for the rest of his life if something happened to the baby in his wife's belly, and his wife herself would definitely not feel good about it.
As for the Jiang family, Han Yu's face turned cold when he thought of this family. Before, Yang Juxiang and her daughter always made things difficult for his wife, and Jiang Chunlan did that kind of thing. Now the boy from the Jiang family almost caused his wife to have a miscarriage, but he was just a half-grown boy and he didn't mean it. Even if Han Yu was angry, he couldn't go to their house for this matter. However, Jiang Chunlan should stay in jail for a few more days. He originally planned to let Jiang Chunlan suffer in jail and then get her out, so that his mother would not feel bad. Now it seems that there is no need for this.
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 also angry that she didn't know the seriousness of the matter. And Xiaoxi was also an accomplice. She was too loyal and listened to her mistress in everything. So his words as the 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 to some extent. 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.
When Su Wenyue woke up and opened her eyes, she 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. The look in his eyes was deep and helpless, and there was something 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 staring at her like this.
"Slow down, why do you want to get up so quickly? You're pregnant. How can you act like a mother? You're such a worry." Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue was moving too much, so he quickly helped her up, scolding her.
"Husband, you know I'm pregnant and have a baby in my belly, are you happy?!" Su Wenyue asked with a smile, without asking Han Yu how he knew it. It must be 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 originally 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. He continued to stare at Su Wenyue with that look, which made Su Wenyue feel uneasy.
