Chapter 229: Chapter 138: Two Cousins
Others aside, quite a few relatives from the Su Family had visited, and there were even some who couldn’t come due to the recent surge in banditry; for safety’s sake, they merely sent gifts.
As for the Han Family, Su Wenyue had woken up not two days before and had already sent someone to inform them. Remembering that Mrs. Wang’s child must be having a one-month celebration, she also included a gift to send over, for the grievances between adults should not involve the children. Mrs. Wang, having given birth to a girl, did not hold a banquet, and they merely sent a message here in passing.
“We don’t need to wait for Father and Mother any longer; I’ve already sent someone with a letter telling them not to come,” Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue seemed to be waiting for someone and spoke up.
Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu with some surprise. Although the bandits were rampant, it hadn’t reached such a severity. The Han Family was merely an ordinary farming household, with little wealth to attract the attention of bandits. Furthermore, she understood her Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, and knew that having given birth to three children in one go, they would surely be yearning for their grandson, especially with Mrs. Wang having a daughter. Today, some guests at the Su Family had come from their direction with no mishaps, suggesting that Han Yu was perhaps being overcautious. Otherwise, sending a few bodyguards to escort them would also be feasible. However, considering Su Hengyi’s previous injury, Su Wenyue felt it was better to be cautious.
Han Yu, seeing his wife in such a state, explained, “I was at the military camp these past few days, so I couldn’t inform you in time. To be safe, it’s better not to have Father and Mother come over. Those bandits are no ordinary bunch.”
Su Wenyue clearly heard a mocking undertone in Han Yu’s words, hinting at something more, and her thoughts stirred, seemingly alighting on something she wanted to ask about, but the timing didn’t seem right.
“Stop worrying about it now; it’s inappropriate with so many people around. I’ll tell you the details later. I kept it from you earlier because I feared you would worry and it would affect your pregnancy. Now, whatever you want to know, I will tell you. Is that satisfactory?”
Having learned from this experience, Han Yu intended not to just protect his wife under his wings but rather to let her face the storms with him, supporting each other. He believed she would handle it well, much like how she had won over his subordinates.
When Su Wenyue heard Han Yu say this, her eyes shone brightly, and she nodded vigorously, “Husband, you must keep your word.”
“Of course, when have I not kept my word? You just focus on the children, and we can talk tonight,” Han Yu said as he affectionately stroked Su Wenyue’s head, which she dodged with dissatisfaction.
“I’m already a mother now; don’t keep doing that, it makes me seem so young.”
Han Yu smiled without responding. His wife’s childlike demeanor made him think of her as a kid too—like a big child taking care of little ones. The scene amused him. Thankfully Aunt Li and Grandma Chen were reliable, along with the nanny; otherwise, he would never be at ease.
“Lady Yue, congratulations on having three children at once; that sure saves trouble,” Su Yun said smilingly as she gazed at the three adorable little ones, unable to look away, unconsciously touching her own stomach.
