Chapter 227: Chapter 136: Pointing Fingers and Giving Instructions
Su Wenyue woke up, and Han Yu stayed by her side for another day or two, only returning to the military camp after ensuring that Su Wenyue was truly fine. Having been away for many days, a considerable amount of work had piled up, including that matter which required ongoing preparations and strategies. Han Yu had no choice but to immerse himself completely in his busy schedule, becoming even stronger to ensure the protection of his wife and child.
It was not advisable to move around during confinement, so Su Wenyue had to stay at the Su Family to recover. Since she didn’t have breast milk, the three children were all fed by the nannies. The childbirth had taken a toll on Su Wenyue’s health, leaving her with little energy to nurse the children herself. The nannies brought the children to her daily, and seeing the three little ones sleeping sweetly, Su Wenyue felt her heart brimming with contentment.
“Madam, the three children are very well-behaved—they don’t fuss or cry. It’s as if they understand what the adults say, and they are truly adorable,” the nanny said with a smile, intending to compliment Su Wenyue while genuinely feeling that way. Over these days, the children had grown quite a bit, no longer the red, wrinkly little figures they were at birth. Such tiny babies truly change by the day.
Hearing someone praising her children, Su Wenyue felt joyful: “Indeed, they’ve gotten much plumper just in these few days.”
“It’s our Lady Yue who is blessed. Despite appearing fragile, she managed to give birth to three children all by herself—who else has such ability as our Lady Yue?” said a hearty voice from outside. Su Wenyue looked over and saw a beautiful woman in her twenties helping her eldest aunt enter, followed by a delicate young girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Su Wenyue had already been informed by the An Family about the visit of her eldest uncle’s female relatives, so she wasn’t surprised. Her big brother’s injury was sustained because of the niece of her eldest aunt, and seeing the group coming in, she already guessed who they were.
“Eldest aunt, Cousin-in-law, and this must be the Second Cousin from eldest aunt’s family, right? She’s very pretty,” Su Wenyue said with a smile. Although she was not particularly happy about her cousin because of her big brother’s injury, she still had to maintain surface pleasantries to avoid making her eldest aunt feel uncomfortable.
“Yes, this is my niece from my mother’s family, Pei Yuhan, the daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou, Pei Hai,” Mrs. Pei, the eldest aunt, introduced, allowing them to get acquainted.
“That day when I came to see you, you were still unconscious. It’s good to finally see you awake now, looking much more spirited, and the children have grown so well too,” Mrs. Pei said with a smile. She genuinely took pleasure in Su Wenyue’s recovery—after all, Su Wenyue was the only daughter in this generation of the Su family, and since she only had two sons, she cherished Su Wenyue as her own daughter.
“Thank you, eldest aunt, for your concern. I have indeed recovered significantly. However, it is I who should come to greet you, and yet you’ve had to come to me instead,” Su Wenyue responded.
“Child, we are family; there’s no need for such formalities. You just focus on resting and raising the children well—that would be the best,” she replied. “Your grandfather will also be coming over in a few days. If he knew what you had been through, he would be so heartbroken.”
