140. Chapter 140 Practice



Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for Han Yu to leave. Because Su Wenyue was pregnant, Han Yu originally wanted Su Wenyue to wait until the baby was three months old before going with him. However, Su Wenyue did not want to stay in the Han family any longer and insisted on going with him at this time. Han Yu had no choice but to go to a town that was not too far from here and could be reached in half a day. After having the doctor take Su Wenyue's pulse and confirming that Su Wenyue's body could not withstand it, Han Yu packed up Su Wenyue and her servant and took them away.

Han Yu told Old Man Han and Yang about this matter before they set off. Old Man Han had no objection, as long as Su Wenyue was sure that her body could bear it. However, Yang had a lot of opinions and just disagreed. I didn't think so before, but now it seems that the fourth wife is really not a peaceful person. She is pregnant with a child, why is she following a man around! Men are going to do great things, and she, a woman, is not going to cause trouble if she follows them! However, Han also understood Su Wenyue's personality, which is soft but not hard, so she can't say too hard words.

"Fourth Brother's Wife, listen to me. The baby in your belly is only a month old. The first three months are the most important. There can be no mistakes. Besides, Fourth Brother is going to do something important, not to have fun. If you go with him, he will have to take care of you. You are now his mother. You have to think about your husband and child and can't be willful."

Su Wenyue was really upset seeing her mother-in-law repeatedly trying to stop her, but since she was her mother-in-law in front of her, Su Wenyue tried her best to reason with her calmly.

"Don't worry, mother. The doctor has checked my pulse. The baby in my belly is fine. Besides, it's not too far away. It only takes half a day by carriage. There won't be any problem. I'm just pregnant, not disabled. I can take care of myself. I don't need my husband to take care of me. Besides, I have Xiaoxi with me. I can just ask Xiaoxi to do anything. It won't be tiring."

"Fourth Brother's wife, why are you so stubborn? Xiaoxi is just an unmarried girl. Even if she can do many things, she has never experienced them. Your mother can still take care of you at home and guarantee that you will give birth to a fat and fair son. Look at other men going out to work, their wives will not follow them. You should be more sensible!" Yang's words already contained some warnings. If it weren't for the powerful background of the Fourth Brother's family, she would not be able to do anything about it, and if the Fourth Brother was not so protective, she would not be so polite.

Su Wenyue pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in her mother-in-law's words. Anyway, as long as Han Yu didn't change his mind, no one could stop her.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. My mother has sent someone to tell me that she will send a nanny who knows how to give birth to a child to take care of me. You really don't have to worry. Besides, we have already separated, so there is no reason for the mother-in-law to take care of me, the daughter-in-law."

Seeing that she couldn't convince Su Wenyue no matter what she did, Yang became more and more disgusted with her. She could hardly control her anger, and the smile on her face, which she had managed to put on, became a little stiff.

Han Yu sighed. It turned out that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. His wife is so virtuous and kind, but she just can't get along with his mother. In the past, Han Yu admired them for getting along well, but he could see it when something happened.

"Mom, don't worry about this. It was my idea to let Yue Niang go." Han Yu didn't want his wife to be embarrassed by his mother, so he stepped forward and took the responsibility on himself.

"Old Fourth, don't just blindly protect your wife. How can you let her do whatever she wants? After all, she is young and has a bit of a whimsical temper. How can she take good care of my grandson? I can't rest assured if she's not around to take care of me."

No mother-in-law wants to see her son stand on the side of her daughter-in-law. Yang felt even more unbalanced when she heard Han Yu speak in favor of Su Wenyue.

"Mother, didn't Yue Niang say that my mother-in-law sent a nanny who knows how to give birth to take care of her? You don't have to worry about that. Besides, I really need Yue Niang to come with me to help me. Otherwise, I can't let her run around with me while pregnant. Would I not value my own child? Besides, I'm worried about leaving Yue Niang alone at home. Who knows when those people from the Jiang family will come to our house? This time we were lucky, but who knows what the result will be next time!"

"Ask her to help you, how can a pregnant woman help you? Yu'er, I think you are confused. Even if you want to make up an excuse, you should make a decent one. How come you two are so useless and are manipulated by women? I thought you were different." Yang chose to omit the latter part, looking heartbroken.

Not to mention Su Wenyue who was standing by the side, even Han Yu felt a headache when he saw Yang like this. His mother used to be a sensible person, how could she become like this?

Although Su Wenyue didn't agree in her heart, but since Han Yu took over the conversation, she just stood aside obediently and pretended not to interrupt, leaving everything to Han Yu. Didn't Han Yu tell her to absolutely trust her husband? She was now practicing what she preached.

"Mom, how could you think so? You are my biological mother, how could I lie to you! I will be promoted to an eighth-rank official this time, and it was my father-in-law who helped me plan for this position. Being an official is different from being a soldier. Although I am only an eighth-rank official, I will have social connections. When the time comes, there will be some things that are not convenient for me as a man to come forward, so I will need to rely on Yue Niang to help. Otherwise, why would I bring my female relatives with me? Could it be that in your eyes, your son is so useless that he only thinks about his love affairs all day long?"

Yang didn't know there was such a reason. She wondered why her son brought his daughter-in-law with him, and it turned out to be this reason. She never expected the Su family to be so capable. She originally thought that Mr. Su was just a wealthy businessman, and at most he was just rich. She didn't expect that he could also help with the affairs of the court, and her son was going to be an official.

Yang no longer worried about Su Wenyue going with him. She felt happy. Her son was the first one in the village to be an official. No matter how small the position was, he was still an official. And the fourth son had been a promising boy since he was young. He would definitely achieve great things in the future. Other people's sons went out to join the army, but her son became an official. Her son would always be one step ahead of others.

Su Wenyue thought that what Han Yu said made sense. This son was not at all vague when it came to fooling his own mother. Yang would not stop her this time. She might even be hoping that she would go with him. In Yang's eyes, besides having a grandson, the most important thing was her son's future.

After saying goodbye to the Han family, Han Yu set off in a horse-drawn carriage with Su Wenyue and her servant. Because he was concerned about Su Wenyue's pregnancy and was afraid that the bumps would affect the baby in her belly, Han Yu deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage. The journey that should have taken half a day actually took a whole day. Before dusk, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard.
