Chapter 143 All is Well

Translator: 549690339

Han Yu spent two days with Su Wenyue, managing all the affairs at home, and the time for him to take office had arrived. Before leaving, he gave Su Wenyue endless reminders and instructions, to the point that even Su Wenyue grew somewhat annoyed. When did the previously reticent man turn into a nagging housewife?

“You better hurry on your way, stop fussing. Rest assured, everything at home will be fine with Xiao Xi taking care of it. Besides, you’ll only be away for a few days, not that long. There really is no need for this.”

“You ungrateful little girl, can’t you see I’m doing this for your own good!” Han Yu, feeling a bit annoyed, ruffled Su Wenyue’s hair before mounting his horse and leaving for the military camp.

After Han Yu left, the tooth shop woman came with the people Han Yu had selected for Su Wenyue. They had already been trained over the past few days and were now respectfully standing in front of Su Wenyue, greeting her with bows. Their manners were barely passable, but they seemed capable enough, and Su Wenyue knew that Han Yu had picked them according to her preferences.

Having met with them, Su Wenyue left them in Xiao Xi’s charge to be assigned their duties.

“Miss, guess who’s here?”

Su Wenyue was squinting her eyes, lost in thought, when Xiao Xi entered cheerfully and spoke to her. Before she could finish, Su Hengxuan and an old woman appeared behind her.

“Second Brother, what brings you here?”

Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise. A radiant smile spread across Su Wenyue’s face immediately.

“For your first time traveling so far, Mother is very worried. She sent me to see how you are, and I also brought Grandma Chen with me to take care of you and the baby. How’s the baby doing?” Su Wenxuan curiously gazed at Su Wenyue’s stomach, as though trying to see something there, but it was too soon; the child wasn’t even two months along and there was no sign of a bump. Su Wenyue’s stomach looked no different from usual, which disappointed Su Wenxuan, and he withdrew his gaze.

“The baby’s doing well. The doctor said that the child is healthy and, with proper care, I’m sure to give birth to a plump and fair baby.” Su Wenyue gently touched her stomach, her face full of maternal tenderness, causing mixed feelings in Su Hengxuan’s heart.

“My younger sister has finally grown up, and now you’ll soon be a mother too,” Su Hengxuan remarked.

“If Second Brother is envious, marry a sister-in-law for me soon. Mother always worries about your marriage. You’re not getting any younger!” Su Wenyue thought of how Mother fretted over Second Brother’s marital affairs and offered her advice.

Hearing Su Wenyue, Su Wenxuan shuddered and gave her a constipated look, “I can’t stand it, when did you get possessed by Mother, speaking in such an old-fashioned, bossy way. You haven’t gotten stupid from the pregnancy, have you? Be careful or your husband might not want you anymore, and don’t come crying later.”

“Oh, so you, daring to make up stories about me, are the one who’s turned foolish!” Pregnant women are not to be trifled with. Su Hengxuan carelessly let his mischievous side show, immediately infuriating Su Wenyue. This led to a chase around the room with Su Hengxuan not daring to retaliate or run away – after all, how could he if he accidentally hurt the baby?!
