Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: Chapter 160: A Little Strange (2/2)

“I’m just tired. Dealing with those Madams and Misses is quite exhausting; you never know how many hidden meanings are in their words, and I have to be on guard all the time. I felt much better after sleeping,” Su Wenyue said as she comfortably leaned into Han Yu’s embrace. She recounted everything that happened during the magistrate’s wife birthday today, pouring out her thoughts and complaints, feeling much relieved afterward.

Han Yu, listening to her, felt heartache. He patted his daughter-in-law’s head, understanding the reason she had to deal with those Madams and Misses against her will.

“Lady Yue, I know you want to get along with those Madams and Misses for my sake, but you must trust that your husband is not such a useless man. Even without relying on them, I will achieve something and provide you with a good life. In the future, you don’t have to push yourself to do these things. All you need to do is live every day happily, especially now that you are carrying children, you really shouldn’t worry too much,” he said.

Su Wenyue nodded her head but did not fully take in Han Yu’s words. She knew he meant well, and that’s why she wanted to do more. Thus, she steered the conversation away.

“Husband, I have good news for you. I’m carrying twins this time. There are two children in my stomach, aren’t you happy?” Su Wenyue mentioned, her eyes crinkling with joy and happiness.

Han Yu held his daughter-in-law even tighter, “Of course, I’m happy. Now we’ll have two children. So you must be obedient and take good care of the babies in your stomach; you cannot be too stressed.”

“Husband, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. The babies in my stomach are my treasures. I’d never dare to be negligent. I’ll make sure to give birth to them safely, raise them well, find a good husband for the girl, and a beautiful daughter-in-law for the boy,” she said happily, unaware of the fleeting worry and anxiety on Han Yu’s face.

While Han Yu was thrilled to learn that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, feeling his daughter-in-law was truly remarkable and marveling at her good fortune, his excitement vanished after the doctor relayed the risks of carrying twins while his wife slept. The thought of the difficulties his wife would face during childbirth, considering this was her first pregnancy, and the potential dangers was hard to bear. Reflecting on his somewhat delicate daughter-in-law, who herself was still like a child, how could he bear to let her suffer so much, not to mention the risk of losing her?

Thinking this, Han Yu was no longer looking forward to the babies in his daughter-in-law’s stomach. He kissed her forehead affectionately, feeling a surge of impulse, even thinking of not having the children, if only to ensure his wife’s safety. But he could neither voice these thoughts nor act upon them. His daughter-in-law certainly wouldn’t want to hear him say he didn’t want the children, or else she would definitely become upset with him.

“Husband, what are you thinking about? Why are you daydreaming?” Su Wenyue spoke for a while without getting a response from Han Yu. When she looked up, he was staring blankly at her, lost in thought.

“It’s nothing; I was thinking about the children in your stomach. My daughter-in-law, how about I send you to stay with your Mother-in-law for a while?” Han Yu suddenly suggested.

Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu strangely, not understanding why he had suddenly brought up this matter.

“Husband, why do you want to send me to stay at my mother’s family all of a sudden?” she asked.

“Didn’t you say a while back that you missed your Father-in-law and Mother-in-law? I was thinking it’d be good for you to stay there for a while. Carrying twins means you need to be taken care of meticulously. I’m usually in the military camp and rarely at home, leaving you alone is really worrisome to me,” he explained.
