“Daughter, what in the world is going on?” Being pregnant should be a joyous occasion, and Mrs. An truly couldn’t fathom any reason for secrecy. She could no longer see through her daughter’s thoughts and was growing worried.
“Mother, don’t worry. Being pregnant is a happy affair. It’s not that I have other intentions, it’s just, as you know, about the Imperial Court’s conscription. The Second Brother must have told you about Husband’s thoughts. I don’t want this matter to distract him and hinder his future. Moreover, Husband is considering proposing a division of the family in light of the conscription. If he knew I was pregnant, he definitely wouldn’t be at ease leaving me alone. He might change his mind. Even parents-in-law, knowing I am pregnant, probably wouldn’t agree to the division. Therefore, it’s better to keep my pregnancy secret for now. Once everything settles down, I will naturally tell Husband the good news.”
In the end, Su Wenyue was worried about any changes that might affect the family division—something she had longed for. She didn’t want to be intertwined with the entire Han Family anymore; it was too uncomfortable and restrictive everywhere.
It wasn’t that Su Wenyue was weak, but Mrs. Yang was different from others; after all, she was Han Yu’s birth mother. Su Wenyue had to consider Han Yu’s feelings. Moreover, because of the incidents in her previous life, she felt some guilt toward Han Yu, as well as Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang. Hence, she often endured more than usual. Mrs. Yang was not a bad person, just easily swayed, so Su Wenyue chose to endure when possible. It would also be hard for Han Yu if she didn’t, especially since he was on her side most of the time. She had nothing to be dissatisfied about.
“So it’s like that. Then it’s better to tell your Son-in-law about it later. You two are living quite stifled these days. It’s inconvenient to do anything with such a big family under one roof. It’s better to live separately. The two of you can live a more comfortable small life.” Mrs. An expressed understanding and support for Su Wenyue’s thoughts. She was just worried about her daughter not taking good care of herself, especially since the first three months of pregnancy required extra caution.
“Mother, rest assured. Xiao Xi is here for me. I let her do everything, and besides, Han Yu takes good care of me. These days he only lets me lie down and doesn’t allow me to do anything, so I don’t get tired.” Su Wenyue cared a great deal for the child in her stomach and dared not be careless. From her experience in the previous life, she knew how to take care of herself during pregnancy. Yet, she couldn’t be sure if the child inside her was the same one she had owed so much to in her previous life.
“Alright then, just make sure you keep things in perspective. No matter what, you must prioritize the child in your stomach. If you harm the child over other matters, it wouldn’t be worth it,” Mrs. An warned, worried that Su Wenyue might not distinguish what was most important.
At that moment, Master Su and his sons, who had been discussing matters in the study room, as well as Han Yu, all came over. Han Yu had specifically accompanied Su Wenyue back to her mother’s family, intending to have a doctor check on his Daughter-in-law. He had been worried the entire time and, upon finishing their discussion, came over immediately, eager to hear what the doctor had said. However, upon arrival, they found that the doctor had already left.
“I have seen my Mother-in-law. What did the doctor say? Is there anything wrong with Lady Yue’s health?”
“Son-in-law, be at ease. There are no major issues. It’s just that Lady Yue’s constitution is generally weaker, and she has suffered a little this time. She needs to take good care in order to recover. She also has to be careful about what she eats. Cold and certain taboo foods must be avoided. The doctor has made a list, and you just need to pay attention to it,” Mrs. An explained, knowing her daughter to be somewhat careless, and continued to remind him of a few details seeing that her Son-in-law regarded the matter with utmost importance. She was both satisfied and reassured having a Son-in-law who, though not perfect, had his merits, especially where her daughter was concerned.
