After thinking for a while without figuring out why, he touched his nose and cautiously broke the deathly silence, "Didn't you say you were going back to the mountains? Why didn't you go back?"
Xu Han retorted bluntly, "What? Can't I stay here?"
"Wife, that's not what I meant," Lu Chuan quickly denied.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yunhua didn't dare to speak and silently moved next to Zhao Yunyun, wanting to ask what was going on.
Zhao Yunyun naturally knew where Xu Han's anger came from, so she didn't say anything, but sat down and started to watch the show.
Seeing that simply sitting and watching the play was not enough, Zhao Yunyun had Chunmei serve tea and pastries.
Seeing this, Yunhua also came over. Anyway, the fire wasn't aimed at him, so he was happy to watch the show.
Seeing that Xu Han was ignoring him, Lu Chuan looked to Zhao Yunyun for help, hoping to get some hints from her.
However, Zhao Yunyun ignored him and pretended not to see him.
Yunhua was completely bewildered while watching the play, not knowing who to ask.
The atmosphere in the room became very tense. Xu Han spoke particularly harshly to Lu Chuan, but she didn't forget that now was not the time to settle scores with him.
After all, this matter is quite private, and no matter how open-minded Xu Han is, she would never question Lu Chuan in front of so many people.
So she took the initiative to change the subject, asking, "How was your trip to the prefectural city? Did you buy the carriage?"
When Yunhua saw Xu Han asking him, he didn't react for a moment. He pointed to his nose, as if to say, "Are you asking me?"
Xu Han rolled her eyes. "Otherwise what? Do you think I want to talk to him?"
Seeing that Xu Han was indeed quite angry, Yunhua didn't dare to provoke her and honestly replied, "It went very smoothly. The two horses were bought, and the carriages were also prepared."
We've bought enough oxen, but the oxcart is slow and hasn't arrived yet; it should be around tomorrow.
"Oh, that's fine." Then she said to Chunmei, who was standing to the side, "Let's set the table."
Upon receiving the instructions, Chunmei immediately went to make the arrangements.
During the meal, Xu Han did not say a single word to Lu Chuan. No matter how much Lu Chuan tried to please her, Xu Han pretended not to see him.
However, Xu Han treated everyone else the same way. She chatted happily with Zhao Yunyun and Yunhua at the dinner table, but isolated Lu Chuan.
After dinner, the two returned to the house, and Xu Han picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan caught the pillow with lightning speed and walked over with a grin. "Wife, why don't you hit me a few more times to calm down?"
Xu Han angrily punched Lu Chuan's chest repeatedly, muttering, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. But honey, can you tell me what happened first?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Han sat down on the bed in a huff and said irritably, "I'm pregnant, I'm already a month along."
Lu Chuan didn't react for a moment after hearing this. After a moment of stunned silence, he burst into laughter, and his laughter filled the courtyard, which was quite frightening.
Lu Chuan quickly sat down next to Xu Han. "Really? I'm going to be a father again?"
Xu Han waved wildly again, and Lu Chuan pulled her into his arms. "You're still laughing? Well, now you can't go to Nancheng!"
After so many years, I finally get to go out once, and now it's all ruined.
"If I want to go out again, I definitely won't be able to travel far for at least two or three years."
The child was too young, and with the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times and the discomfort of traveling, it was impossible for him to travel far in a short period of time. This was also the reason why Xu Han was so unhappy.
Seeing that Xu Han was angry for this reason, Lu Chuan quickly coaxed her, "It's my fault, it's all my fault."
But now that the child has arrived, we can't just abandon him, can we?
I promise that once the child is older, I will definitely take you out for a walk.
"We'll go wherever you want then, and I promise I won't go back on my word."
Xu Han knew that the matter was already settled, and there was no point in making a fuss.
Now that she has vented her anger, she is still very happy about the arrival of the child.
When Lu Chuan saw that her expression had changed, he also started to laugh.
He gently stroked Xu Han's not-so-protruding belly with a smile.
A good night's sleep...
The next day, after everything was settled in the county town, the four of them returned to the mountains together.
Yunhua had obviously learned from Zhao Yunyun that Xu Han was pregnant. As soon as they met in the morning, he congratulated her and comforted her, saying that after Xu Han gave birth to the child smoothly, he would let her go to the capital to play.
Xu Han smiled and agreed. By the time the group arrived home, it was almost lunchtime.
Chunmei and Qi Yu also came back this time. Since they were to serve Xu Han personally, they would be wherever Xu Han was.
After arriving home, Lu Chuan told the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao the news that Xu Han was pregnant. The two were very happy. Grandpa Zhao smiled and said, "Mu'er and Ze'er are not young anymore. It's time for you to have another child."
We have two rascals in our family. If we had a sweet and cuddly little girl, we would definitely love her.
As for going to the south of the city, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future; this trip won't make a difference.
Xu Han nodded slightly, "Yes, it's just a bit of a regret that I can't watch Yunyun get married."
"Hey, it's no big deal. Just stay home and take good care of yourself. We'll all go in your place. We'll bring you some wedding candy when the time comes."
The family chatted and laughed, and the happiest people to learn that Xu Han was pregnant were Mu'er and Ze'er.
Ever since the two men learned that their mother was pregnant, they had been constantly trying to please her, massaging her legs one moment and serving her tea and water the next.
Mu'er hoped that her mother's baby would be a little sister, for no other reason than that a little brother was too troublesome.
Ze'er was thinking that he was finally going to be a big brother, and he would no longer be the youngest.
Regardless of what the two children think, the matter is settled.
On the third day of the second lunar month, everyone went down the mountain together.
Today is the day Zhao Yunyun and her group are going to Nancheng. Because the weather has been good these past two days, they have moved up their schedule by two days.
This time, Mu'er and Ze'er also went with the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao.
The Taoist priest said he would take the two children out to see the world, broaden their horizons, and give them more experiences.
Xu Han originally thought she would only be gone for two months at most, so she readily agreed.
Who knew that the Taoist priest would say that it would take at least half a year to return from this trip, and at the latest, it would be the end of the year.
Upon hearing this, Xu Han hesitated, feeling that the child was still too young and it was definitely not appropriate for him to be away for such a long time.
In the end, Lu Chuan persuaded her that boys always need more experience and knowledge, and they shouldn't be confined to the mountains forever. They need to go out and explore more.
Finally, the whole family took turns trying to brainwash Xu Han every day.
After careful consideration, Xu Han finally agreed.
