Chapter 213 Social Circle



Su Wenyue swallowed her saliva. She had been restless these past two days because of Han Yu's matter and had no appetite. Only when Han Yu came back did she feel hungry. She ate a lot at once. It seemed that her appetite was even bigger than before. She had just eaten before coming here.

She had clearly just eaten before going to bed, and now she drank porridge and ate two baskets of steamed dumplings, a large bowl of soup, and a lot of snacks. If Li Ma hadn't stopped her, Su Wenyue would have wanted to eat more. At this time, seeing a few plates of snacks on the table, Su Wenyue felt hungry again. However, Su Wenyue just glanced at them so as not to let Han Yu find out, otherwise there would be nothing to eat. If it weren't for Han Yu's death order, the servants in the house would not have been so strict.

Su Wenyue thought so in her heart, but she couldn't help but secretly glance at the snacks on the table. Han Yu's mind was on other things at this time, so he didn't notice Su Wenyue's abnormality. Instead, he was thinking that the information was still on the table and had not been put away. He couldn't let his wife find out, otherwise she would not be able to bear the fear all day long.

"Then sit here for a while. I'll be done soon. I'll ask Nanny Li to come in and take care of you."

"No need. I'm just sitting here doing nothing. Why should I let Nanny Li come in? Besides, you're here too. Go and do your own thing. I'll be alone for a while." Su Wenyue hurriedly stopped her. If Nanny Li came in to serve her, she would forget about these plates of snacks.

"Well, then you just sit here and call me if you need anything." Han Yu said as he took out a cushion and put it on the chair, letting Su Wenyue sit there comfortably, and then went about his own business.

Su Wenyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Han Yu leave. She cursed herself inwardly for being so useless that she got so nervous. It was really depraved of her to spend so much time and effort on a few plates of snacks.

Things had been basically dealt with, only some finishing touches were left. Han Yu put everything away safely, glanced towards Su Wenyue, and saw that Su Wenyue was happily eating several plates of snacks on the table. He shook his head helplessly. How come his wife had become a foodie? Nanny Li even said that his wife came here only after eating, so it turned out that she had to sit there alone just for those plates of snacks.

"Yueniang, Nanny Li just said that you ate a lot, why are you eating snacks again? It's only been less than seven months and your belly is so big. You really can't eat more!" Han Yu's tone was full of helplessness. He walked over and took away the remaining snacks. He saw that his wife had secretly stuffed two pieces in her hand. When she saw him looking over, she quickly stuffed them into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel stealing food.

"Wife, you are really!" Han Yu sighed

What is she really? Su Wenyue saw Han Yu like this and didn't defend herself. Her eyes stayed on the plate that Han Yu brought away. She was also helpless. She didn't want to be like this either, but she couldn't help the desire to eat. She didn't know if it was because the baby in her belly needed to absorb nutrients, so she kept wanting to eat.

"I'm really hungry. Everything I eat has been digested by the baby in my belly." Su Wenyue firmly believed that her gluttony during this period was due to the baby in her belly.

Han Yu looked at his wife's belly which had grown abnormally large, and actually felt that there was some truth in what he said. His wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but she was not fat at all. Instead, she was thinner than before. It seemed that all the food she ate grew on her belly, so Han Yu had to restrict his wife's food. It would be better if the meat grew on her body, but it all grew on her belly. The bigger her belly was, the more difficult it would be to give birth.

"Wife, I know you're having a hard time with the baby. There are less than two months left. Let's be patient. Once the baby is born, you can eat whatever you want."

Su Wenyue rolled her eyes at Han Yu. Why would he say that at that time? But thinking that Han Yu was doing it for her own good, she resisted the urge to get angry. She hoped that the child could be born as soon as possible, otherwise life would be really difficult.

Since that day, Han Yu has been extremely busy. Although he was busy before, he always accompanied Su Wenyue at night. These days, Han Yu goes out early and comes back late, and sometimes he brings a few strangers back to the study to discuss things. Su Wenyue wanted to ask, but Han Yu just said a few words about unimportant things and refused to say more. Su Wenyue knew that Han Yu was afraid that she would worry, but not knowing anything would make people more likely to think too much.

However, even if Han Yu didn't say it, Su Wenyue had other ways to find out. Women also have their own social circles, and sometimes they know things faster than Han Yu gets the news from the military camp. It's just that she hasn't been out for several days due to her pregnancy, so she was a little isolated from the news.

"Madam Chen, take my invitation and go to the Liu family. Tell them that I'm bored and want to talk to someone. If Madam Liu has time, please come over." Su Wenyue remembered that Liu Zhao hadn't come to visit for a while. It was probably because of the rumors that made Liu Zhao a little worried. Moreover, because of the currency reform, the Liu family might not have a good time. They were reluctant to rent a carriage to go to the county town to celebrate the birthday of the county magistrate's wife. It was obvious that the family was not very wealthy, so their life would be even more difficult.

Su Wenyue thought of asking Xiaoxi to prepare some food, rice, flour, vegetables and meat, divided into several portions, and took a bag of sweet potatoes, also divided into several portions, thinking of sending them to Han Yu's subordinates later. She remembered that Han Yu said that his subordinates had a hard time because of the currency reform, and the court still owed them food and wages. Since these people were willing to follow Han Yu, she helped Han Yu take care of their families, which would also be helpful to Han Yu and make those subordinates more loyal to Han Yu.

As for colleagues who are on good terms with Han Yu, it would not be a good idea to send gifts to them rashly. She should wait for the right time. Otherwise, people would misunderstand and think that she looked down on them, which would be bad.

Liu Zhao had been worried about family matters these days. Moreover, she heard that Madam He was driven out by Su Wenyue for borrowing grain. Thinking about the situation at home, she went to the Han family less often. When she heard that Su Wenyue sent someone to invite her, she knew that Su Wenyue treated her differently from others, so she immediately packed up and went to the Han family.

When Su Wenyue saw Liu Zhao coming, she immediately asked someone to serve tea and snacks.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally here. I don't know what Han Yu has been busy with these days. He goes out early and comes back late every day. I am pregnant and it is not easy for me to go out. I am bored at home alone, so I had to find you to talk. I hope you don't mind the trouble."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"What are you talking about? I'd love to come to you for a cup of tea, but my wife is the same way. She's been very busy these days."
