Chapter 307: Chapter 315: Enchanting Skills
“I certainly did not!” Su Wenyue immediately rebutted when she heard Han Yu say that. Seeing the understanding look in Han Yu’s eyes, she corrected herself, “Maybe just a tiny bit, after all you’re so busy every day, it’s normal for me to forget such a minor matter.”
“Your affairs are always important to me. Don’t think like that again. If I haven’t taken care of something for you for a long time, there must be a reason. You can ask me directly. Don’t keep it all in your heart and make wild guesses, or see how I’ll punish you.” Han Yu said this with a slight increase in force, pinching his daughter-in-law’s soft cheek as a sort of punishment. However, he noticed with dissatisfaction that there seemed to be less flesh on his daughter-in-law’s face now.
“Why have you lost weight again? Have these days been tiring for you?” Han Yu frowned and said. He liked his daughter-in-law plump, as it made her look healthy and blessed. Especially since that childbirth, he had been determined to fatten her up, but it seemed to have little effect. Now, with the recent busyness, she had actually lost weight.
“In the future, you can just order the servants to handle household affairs. There’s no need to do everything yourself and wear yourself out—it’s not worth it.”
“I know, but this was the first time, and I was afraid the servants wouldn’t do it right, so I did it myself. Once there’s a set routine, naturally I’ll have the servants do it, and besides, these chores aren’t too tiring.”
“Busy all day and not tired, what did the doctor say? He asked you to nourish your body properly, yet you’re so disobedient.” Han Yu was somewhat angry and also helpless with his daughter-in-law’s nature. She liked to worry too much, and he, being busy all day, didn’t have the time to watch over her constantly, so he had no choice but to tell Aunt Li about it later.
With this in mind, Han Yu wouldn’t let Su Wenyue go to the kitchen anymore. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was still not behaving, he simply picked her up and carried her to bed. The couple had been busy these days, and it had been some time since they were intimate, but their playfulness took on a different flavor as they romped around.
Aunt Li had originally wanted to check on the kitchen matters that Madam had instructed her to after some time had passed and she had not seen anyone come by. Stopping at the door to ask, she heard noises from inside and her old face reddened, but she was happy about the master and madam’s affection. After all, the master’s rank was ever increasing, and he was no longer the countryside man looked down upon by others. Looking around, which somewhat powerful man did not have three wives and four concubines in his backyard? She was uncertain about what the master might do in the future and hoped that the madam would keep him reined in, so no vixen could take advantage of any vulnerability.
When Su Wenyue woke up, it was already evening. She moved her sore body slightly, biting her teeth with some resentment, “This jerk, he says to let her recuperate and not tire herself out, yet what happens? He himself winds up tormenting her quite a bit.”
“How are the three little guys doing? I hope they haven’t fussed. Have they been good?” The first thing Su Wenyue did upon waking was to ask about the three little ones. These days, she had been so busy that she’d somewhat neglected them. Even though she interacted with them every day, the time spent with them had diminished. But fortunately, the three little ones were well-behaved and rarely fussy.
“They’re all doing well. The master is playing with the young master and miss over there,” responded Nanny Xu.
Hearing Nanny Xu say so, a few smiles appeared on Su Wenyue’s face. Then she asked about the kitchen.
