Su Wenyue furrowed her brows and clutched her stomach, showing a trace of pain on her face. It wasn’t excruciating—just intermittent twinges—but she cared deeply about the child in her womb. Hence, she dared not take it lightly. Moreover, she truly did not want to be lectured by her big brother. Perhaps it was the prior worry that big brother might become overly agitated, coupled with the whole journey’s tumult, that an ordinary pregnant woman might withstand. But she was carrying twins and didn’t quite have a robust constitution. It was only due to her meticulous self-care that nothing had gone amiss. But now, as she relaxed, she felt the reaction.
Having run all the way here with little regard for the gravity of her situation, Su Wenyue was met with a basketful of words her brother Su Hengyi wanted to say to her. He wanted to properly educate his younger sister. Even though Su Wenyue was married, Su Hengyi did not fall short in his responsibility to look after her—after all, it was Han Yu’s failure to do so. Inevitably, Han Yu would receive a stern talking-to as well.
“Quick, go call Doctor Lin!” Su Hengyi, already concerned about his sister coming with such a big stomach, paled when Su Wenyue cried out in pain. He immediately sent someone to fetch the doctor, giving no thought to the injuries on his own body, and insisted on carrying Su Wenyue into his room to lie down first.
In the meantime, Su Hengxuan, upon hearing the news of Su Wenyue’s arrival, hurried over. Seeing his big brother disregarding his own wounds, he quickly lent a hand.
“Big brother, your injury isn’t healed yet, take care of yourself, too.” Whether it was his younger sister or his elder brother, both were precious to Su Hengxuan. As he attended to his sister, he didn’t forget to remind Su Hengyi to be mindful. Su Hengxuan knew too well how much his brother cherished his sister, and he himself was not far behind in that regard.
Fortunately, due to Su Hengxuan’s injury, there was a doctor living in the Mansion who had been treating the Su Family. It was Dr. Lin, who had just changed the medicine on Su Hengyi’s wounds, and now he was being rushed over, feeling as if his old bones were coming apart. Yet, knowing that it was Su Wenyue who was in pain made Dr. Lin anxious too, and he hurried along as quickly as possible.
Doctor Lin, a bachelor his entire lifetime without children of his own, had grown close to the Su Family, and he was quite fond of all the Su children. To put it rather presumptuously, he regarded them as if they were his own, especially Su Wenyue. Such an adorable young girl she was—petite and pampered, even her tantrums were endearing. And as the only daughter of the Su Family, who wouldn’t treasure her as the apple of their eye?
Now, Su Wenyue lay on the bed, and the spasmodic pain that she had been experiencing had intensified, causing sweat to pour down her face and her complexion to grow increasingly pale. Master Su and Madam Su arrived and seeing their daughter in such a state, they were both distressed and worried.
“Daughter, how are you feeling, is the pain severe? You really shouldn’t have, with such a big stomach, how could you withstand the jostling of the horse carriage? And your husband, too, how could he take care of you—allowing you such reckless behavior!” Master Su was for the first time so dissatisfied with his much-regarded son-in-law, seeing the stoic endurance of his daughter pained him deeply, his daughter who was coddled to the extreme.
If Su Wenyue had heard these words at another time, she would have defended Han Yu, but at that moment she was annoyed with Han Yu, and too drained by pain to muster the energy.
“Where is Doctor Lin? Go hurry him along. Yueyue is in such pain, what are we to do?” Madam Su was about to send someone again to hasten the doctor, as it was nearly eight months into the pregnancy, and any complication could be dire.
