Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Frowning in Anger

Translator: 549690339

At Su Wenyue’s repeated pleas, and considering that his daughter-in-law’s condition hadn’t been very good these days—with severe morning sickness—Han Yu also thought that visiting a temple might provide a better environment. It might help, but it was only possible when he could accompany her to the temple during his days off. After all, a temple was not like other places; it always carried peace and blessings.

Su Wenyue naturally had no objections. She was feeling quite insecure at the moment, and having Han Yu accompany her to the temple would make her feel even safer.

“Husband, you are so kind!” Su Wenyue would always be especially sweet with her words whenever she got her way, cooing at Han Yu, who had long grown accustomed to his wife’s temperament.

“So I’m only good if I agree with you, and not good if I don’t?” Han Yu said with some helplessness in his voice. Since a visit to Lingyin Temple would set his wife’s heart at ease, then he might as well let her go, especially since he would be with her.

Han Yu had it all planned out, but he didn’t expect that a sudden military urgency would arise, calling him to the camp. His wife was already halfway to the temple, and it wouldn’t be good to turn back now. After some thought, he decided to have Grandma Chen, Aunt Li, and Xiao Xi take care of his wife; with caretakers protecting them, there should be no trouble. The urgent matter in the camp wasn’t a big deal; he planned to deal with it quickly and then rush to Lingyin Temple to meet her.

“Husband, don’t worry. There are so many people protecting me, there won’t be any problems.” Su Wenyue, aware of the urgent matters in Han Yu’s camp, urged him to go ahead and handle the camp issues first.

“Then be careful on your own. Once you’ve offered incense, stay inside the temple to rest. I’ll come pick you up very quickly once I’ve finished my business,” Han Yu instructed, unable to shake off his worries, before riding away on his horse.

Since Su Wenyue was pregnant, the horse carriage travelled slowly. They set off early in the morning, and it was nearly noon by the time they arrived at Lingyin Temple. After offering incense, it was perfect timing to partake in the vegetarian meal at the temple. The caretakers couldn’t follow inside, so Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi went to arrange for the meal, and another went to clean the chambers. Aunt Li helped Su Wenyue slowly to their quarters. They didn’t expect that a servant girl from another family, too carefree and without manners, would come running over, fail to stop, and spill a pot of tea all over Aunt Li. Thankfully, Su Wenyue was not hit, but it gave Aunt Li quite a fright.

“Which family’s servant girl is this, so lacking in discipline? Almost killing herself by running so fast—if she had hit my madam, what would we have done? My madam is pregnant; this is utterly reckless!” Although Aunt Li was normally stern, she wasn’t a harsh woman. It was only because the maid’s behavior was so reckless that she reprimanded her with a stern face.

The little maid knew she had done wrong, her eyes brimming with tears as she repeatedly admitted her fault. Su Wenyue felt somewhat sorry for her, as, in the end, nothing serious had happened except Aunt Li’s clothes getting wet. Considering it was not a big deal, Su Wenyue let the maid off the hook and instructed Aunt Li to go change her clothes.

Aunt Li knew that she wouldn’t be able to serve her madam well in her drenched state, but she was the only one by her madam’s side at the moment. If she went to change her clothes, who would be there to serve her madam?
