Su Wenyue, who was sound asleep, also didn’t know whether it was Han Yu’s voice that had disturbed her, but she furrowed her eyebrows and whimpered. Han Yu thought he had awakened his daughter-in-law, but after moving a few times, she did not open her eyes and slept restlessly.

These past few days, Su Wenyue had not been in good condition. Grandma Chen and Aunt Li, concerned, had constantly been attending to her. Thus, seeing Su Wenyue like this and noticing Han Yu’s frown, they explained, “Madam has been like this for the past few days, sleeping lightly, easily startled, and resting uneasily. Sometimes, she even cries in her sleep. When such a situation occurs, we servants are afraid that Madam is being oppressed by nightmares and have no choice but to wake her up.”

Han Yu hadn’t realized his daughter-in-law’s condition was so serious. Because he was worried, after the doctor had seen her, he also consulted some experienced women and checked medical books, learning that it was indeed normal for a pregnant woman to react this way before he could rest easy. Otherwise, no matter how busy he was, he wouldn’t have stayed at the military camp for several days.

“What did Doctor Lin say?” Doctor Lin was considered the best in Xinye County and had come from the Capital City to join the Su Family. He had quite a history, and Han Yu wanted to hear what Doctor Lin had to say before figuring out a plan.

“Doctor Lin said that Madam is overthinking, feeling frightened, and worried, with something pressing on her heart that she cannot express, causing it to become pent up. Besides, she is already carrying a pregnancy, which has resulted in Madam’s current condition, making her pregnancy reaction even more severe. Doctor Lin also said that Madam has twins in her womb, and naturally, the children inside need to draw more nutrients from the mother’s body. With Madam enduring such internal and external torment, she will break down sooner or later. If we do not find a way to resolve Madam’s concerns, I fear that there could be danger to her health soon,” they said.

Aunt Li couldn’t hold back anymore, as Madam’s condition was already very dangerous. She revealed everything Doctor Lin had said in a single breath, and sure enough, saw that the master’s expression was rather grim.

Though Aunt Li hadn’t been there long, she knew from what Grandma Chen had told her that the Master treated Madam very well, often showing consideration and doting on her, and there were neither concubines nor any upsetting matters like that to vex Madam. Everything seemed fine, so both she and Grandma Chen were puzzled over why the Miss would be so overly worried and pent up. They feared it had something to do with Han Yu, which is why they had hesitated before deciding to share what Doctor Lin had said.

Han Yu guessed it had to do with that day’s incident, which turned out to be the case. He just hadn’t realized that the incident would affect his daughter-in-law so deeply, causing her to torment herself to such a state in just a few short days. That morning, he had paid special attention, and, seeing that his daughter-in-law seemed to have let go, he had left at ease, unaware that it was an act put on by Su Wenyue to reassure him.

“You all may leave,” Han Yu ordered in a deep voice. He also instructed them to prepare some easily digestible food in the kitchen, to be brought to him when he asked for it later.

After seeing such, Grandma Chen and Aunt Li could only suppress their concerns and leave. The master, besides what the doctor had said, hadn’t asked about anything else, which showed that he was aware of Madam’s inner troubles. As servants, they could only worry, wishing the master could persuade Madam to ease her mind. If that failed, they would have to go to the Su Mansion to call over the former Madam; they couldn’t bear to watch the current situation continue.
