Chapter 167 - 166: Fear and Worry



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.

After Grandma Chen and Aunt Li left, Han Yu sat beside Su Wenyue and stared at his daughter-in-law’s face for half a day, his mind flashing through the news he’d gathered over the past few days. He couldn’t figure out how his daughter-in-law had come to know Sikong Ling; there had been no interaction between them. Furthermore, it was Sikong Ling’s first visit to Xinye, all after Su Wenyue had married into the Han Family. Before, Han Yu wasn’t certain, but ever since she became his daughter-in-law, Han Yu was confident that there had been no contact between her and Sikong Ling. It was all very strange to him.

Unable to figure it out, Han Yu attributed it to his daughter-in-law’s mysterious side, like those two Military Books. He didn’t believe that his daughter-in-law had memorized them as a child since there were too many inconsistencies, yet he couldn’t explain why she could recite those books.

Thinking about it, Han Yu couldn’t help but recall the strange dream his daughter-in-law had mentioned before. At the time, the things that happened in that dream, some parts seemed to have come true now. Even her father-in-law and brother-in-law believed it. Could there really be such bizarre things in this world? Otherwise, how could he explain some of the mysterious aspects of his daughter-in-law?

The more Han Yu thought about it, the more engrossed he became, not even noticing that Su Wenyue had woken up as he grappled with thoughts he couldn’t explain with his logic. If the dream was real, then Sikong Ling must have been a person from that dream. Moreover, seeing his daughter-in-law’s reaction, it was obvious that she had a profound connection with Sikong Ling. Listening to what the two old women had said about his daughter-in-law having frequent nightmares these past few days, he feared Sikong Yu must have done something to scare her. Han Yu felt a pang of discomfort in his heart at that thought.

“Husband, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed, you didn’t even hear me calling you!” Su Wenyue had already approached Han Yu and was waving her fair palms in front of his eyes, muttering. Due to her face getting thinner, her eyes looked even larger.

“Daughter-in-law, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable at the moment?” Han Yu snapped out of it, seeing his daughter-in-law up close, his expression softening as he first inquired about her health.

“I’ve been so miserable these past few days, vomiting everything I eat. My pregnancy reaction is too severe. I don’t know if there is any way to cure it. I can hardly stand it any longer!”

Saying this and seeing Han Yu’s concerned face, Su Wenyue added, “But now that I see you’re in a good mood, I feel much better. Perhaps it’s because the children in my stomach miss you too. Feel and see if the children have grown a bit these past few days.”

After saying that, Su Wenyue pulled Han Yu’s large hand onto her stomach.

Seeing his daughter-in-law so fidgety, Han Yu, not feeling reassured, wrapped her in his arms to prevent her from moving. With that embrace, he felt she had lost even more weight, the little she had gained before now gone.

“Daughter-in-law, I heard from Grandma Chen and Aunt Li that these past few days, not only is your pregnancy reaction severe, but you also have been having frequent nightmares, eating and sleeping poorly. Continuing like this won’t be good. As the saying goes, ‘daytime thoughts become nighttime dreams.’ If there is something in your heart that scares you, let it out. I will help you resolve it, and perhaps that will make you feel better,” Han Yu tentatively asked and felt the body in his arms stiffen.

“Scared of what? What do I have to be afraid of? I’m just finding it tough because I’m carrying children and the pregnancy reaction is too severe. That’s why I can’t sleep well at night. Don’t worry, the doctor said that the pregnancy reaction will get better once this period is over,” Su Wenyue reflexively denied, thinking how could she possibly tell Han Yu about that? For that man, in her previous lifetime, she had betrayed her own husband.
