Although Su Wenyue was tired, there were still some things that needed to be arranged. Madame Liu Zhao and the others had arrived in her horse carriage this morning, and would surely return in the same manner. However, since she was unable to go back now, she had no choice but to ask Madam Su to arrange their return trip.

Upon hearing that Su Wenyue was not feeling well, Madame Liu Zhao and the others were somewhat worried. After the events of the day, their relationship had grown closer, and there was a sense that they were forming an alliance. They all expressed their concern for Su Wenyue.

“Lady Yue, are you all right? Is the baby in your stomach still okay? If not, we won’t go back and will stay here to take care of you,” Madame Liu Zhao said first, indicating her intention to stay, and the other two also showed the same sentiment. It wasn’t only because of their previous friendship but also because of the attitude of the County magistrate’s wife and the General’s Lady today; they all wanted to curry favor with Su Wenyue.

“No need, my mother is here, as well as Xiao Xi and Grandma Chen; they will take good care of me. You don’t have to worry,” Su Wenyue said, knowing in her heart that she was refusing the goodwill of the three. When sending the servant boy back home, she also had him send a message to prevent Han Yu from worrying because he knew and would expect her to come back in the evening after her trip to the County Town today.

Madam Su sent the servant to the Su Mansion to inform them and then accompanied Su Wenyue back to the Courtyard In The City. Since Master Su and others would come from time to time, there were servants who cleaned the Courtyard constantly. Everything inside was still in place, so there was no need to purchase anything extra.

Seeing that Su Wenyue hadn’t returned, Han Yu had waited for a short while before he became impatient. Despite knowing that with Xiao Xi and Grandma Chen accompanying Su Wenyue to the County Town, she should be safe, he couldn’t completely rest assured. He changed his Clothes and was ready to meet her on the road when he was just about to leave the house. He bumped into a servant from the Su Family, and after learning of the situation, Han Yu’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Even though the servant from the Su Family said his daughter-in-law was fine, just tired, he was still very worried, especially after hearing that she was expecting twins. That made him even more anxious. Even though the servant mentioned that his Mother-in-law was there with her, Han Yu still decided to make a trip to the city. He wouldn’t be at ease until he had seen his daughter-in-law with his own eyes.

The An Family was initially very dissatisfied with Han Yu. Their daughter was humbling herself for his sake, and they blamed Han Yu for his lack of ability as a man. However, seeing Han Yu rush over so anxiously, with worry all over his face, they said nothing. They just instructed the servant girl to lead Han Yu to Su Wenyue’s Room.

At that moment, Han Yu was only eager to see his daughter-in-law. First, he thanked his Mother-in-law and inquired about his daughter-in-law’s condition before following the servant girl.

Su Wenyue felt much refreshed after sleeping for a while and was just about to have dinner. However, as she got up, she realized the person helping her was somewhat unfamiliar. On closer inspection, she saw it was actually Han Yu.

“Husband, why are you here?” Su Wenyue, although asking, was smiling happily.

Han Yu chuckled and tapped Su Wenyue’s nose, “If my wife doesn’t come home, it’s only natural that I come over to accompany you. Besides, I heard you’re carrying twins this time and I’m very concerned, so I have to see with my own eyes to be at ease. How are you feeling now? Is there any discomfort?”

“I’m just tired. Dealing with those Madams and Misses is quite exhausting; you never know how many hidden meanings are in their words, and I have to be on guard all the time. I felt much better after sleeping,” Su Wenyue said as she comfortably leaned into Han Yu’s embrace. She recounted everything that happened during the magistrate’s wife birthday today, pouring out her thoughts and complaints, feeling much relieved afterward.

Han Yu, listening to her, felt heartache. He patted his daughter-in-law’s head, understanding the reason she had to deal with those Madams and Misses against her will.

“Lady Yue, I know you want to get along with those Madams and Misses for my sake, but you must trust that your husband is not such a useless man. Even without relying on them, I will achieve something and provide you with a good life. In the future, you don’t have to push yourself to do these things. All you need to do is live every day happily, especially now that you are carrying children, you really shouldn’t worry too much,” he said.

Su Wenyue nodded her head but did not fully take in Han Yu’s words. She knew he meant well, and that’s why she wanted to do more. Thus, she steered the conversation away.

“Husband, I have good news for you. I’m carrying twins this time. There are two children in my stomach, aren’t you happy?” Su Wenyue mentioned, her eyes crinkling with joy and happiness.

Han Yu held his daughter-in-law even tighter, “Of course, I’m happy. Now we’ll have two children. So you must be obedient and take good care of the babies in your stomach; you cannot be too stressed.”

“Husband, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. The babies in my stomach are my treasures. I’d never dare to be negligent. I’ll make sure to give birth to them safely, raise them well, find a good husband for the girl, and a beautiful daughter-in-law for the boy,” she said happily, unaware of the fleeting worry and anxiety on Han Yu’s face.

While Han Yu was thrilled to learn that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, feeling his daughter-in-law was truly remarkable and marveling at her good fortune, his excitement vanished after the doctor relayed the risks of carrying twins while his wife slept. The thought of the difficulties his wife would face during childbirth, considering this was her first pregnancy, and the potential dangers was hard to bear. Reflecting on his somewhat delicate daughter-in-law, who herself was still like a child, how could he bear to let her suffer so much, not to mention the risk of losing her?

Thinking this, Han Yu was no longer looking forward to the babies in his daughter-in-law’s stomach. He kissed her forehead affectionately, feeling a surge of impulse, even thinking of not having the children, if only to ensure his wife’s safety. But he could neither voice these thoughts nor act upon them. His daughter-in-law certainly wouldn’t want to hear him say he didn’t want the children, or else she would definitely become upset with him.

“Husband, what are you thinking about? Why are you daydreaming?” Su Wenyue spoke for a while without getting a response from Han Yu. When she looked up, he was staring blankly at her, lost in thought.

“It’s nothing; I was thinking about the children in your stomach. My daughter-in-law, how about I send you to stay with your Mother-in-law for a while?” Han Yu suddenly suggested.

Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu strangely, not understanding why he had suddenly brought up this matter.

“Husband, why do you want to send me to stay at my mother’s family all of a sudden?” she asked.

“Didn’t you say a while back that you missed your Father-in-law and Mother-in-law? I was thinking it’d be good for you to stay there for a while. Carrying twins means you need to be taken care of meticulously. I’m usually in the military camp and rarely at home, leaving you alone is really worrisome to me,” he explained.
