Su Wenyue woke up early in the morning and felt the quilt next to her was cool; there were no signs of someone having returned to the room.
“This guy couldn’t have been looking at Military Books all night, could he?!”
Confirmed by Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi, “Master stayed in the study room the whole night and did not come out, the light was on the whole time, and this old servant even went once to check but Old Master did not allow the servant girls to enter, so I did not dare to disturb Old Master again.”
“Stayed in the study room all night?!” Su Wenyue was speechless at the level of obsession with Military Books.
With the help of Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi, Su Wenyue got up and was about to head to the study room when Han Yu had already come over, after all his constitution was strong, staying awake all night he still didn’t look too exhausted.
“You two go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast.” Su Wenyue had something to say to Han Yu, and although she trusted the loyalty of Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi, she felt it was best not to let them know about the Military Book, so she sent Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi away.
Seeing Su Wenyue dismiss them, Han Yu felt somewhat relieved, glad that his wife knew her limits and did not trust everyone completely, knowing to avoid Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi.
The moment Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi left, Su Wenyue’s face turned stern as she glared at Han Yu, “Military Books are so interesting that you don’t need to sleep, staying up all night, do you not care about your health anymore? It’s funny how you have the nerve to lecture me usually, look at what you’re doing!”
Usually, it was her being lectured by Han Yu, and now with the roles reversed, Su Wenyue could not help but feel a bit of satisfaction, no wonder Han Yu liked lecturing her.
Han Yu found his wife’s serious face while lecturing quite amusing, usually when he spoke to her, she was somewhat defiant, and now she was finally getting her chance, pity that her imposing manner was lacking, not intimidating at all, but to play along with his wife, Han Yu still stood there and let his wife give him a few words, letting her have her dry run.
“Alright, have some water to moisten your throat after scolding for so long, you must be tired. Take a break, if you’re not yet satisfied, I’ll let you scold me next time!” Han Yu said with a smile, pouring a cup of warm water for Su Wenyue
When Su Wenyue saw Han Yu pouring her water, she thought he was admitting his fault and apologizing, but then Han Yu said these few sentences, clearly seeing through her thoughts and even bluntly pointing it out, making it hard for her to save face, and she was truly getting angry this time.
“What are you talking about, it’s clearly your fault, and isn’t it alright for me to say a few words to you? You’re just looking down on me, aren’t you!” Su Wenyue did not know why, but she tended to get temperamental with Han Yu easily, especially now that she was pregnant, her mood was even more unpredictable.
Han Yu touched his nose and looked at his pouting, angry wife sitting there, ever since his wife got pregnant, her temper and nature had become more childlike, truly amusing, just getting angry over such a small matter.
“My good wife, I was wrong, I was so happy with the Military Book that I forgot the time, I won’t do it again next time. Don’t be angry, you’re still carrying a child in your stomach, getting angry too much, the child won’t be pretty when born,” Han Yu whispered soothingly as he hugged his wife.
Su Wenyue gave Han Yu a glare, “Don’t bring the child into this.”
“You haven’t slept all night, go lie on the bed and take a nap; you still have to go out later.” Su Wenyue still cared about Han Yu, and told him to rest first.
“No need, I am not going out today; I will stay home with you.” Han Yu had an appointment with Lord Fang, or rather, it wasn’t so much an appointment as going to show support, but now it seemed unnecessary.
“Why aren’t you going out again, didn’t you say you had an appointment with someone? If you don’t go, wouldn’t that be breaking your promise.”
“No problem.” Han Yu explained the nature of his visit to support Lord Fang, and Su Wenyue understood; Han Yu was initially interested in the Military Book left by the Mighty General, but now that he had a better one, naturally, he did not need to focus on that, besides Lord Fang was really not an easy person to deal with.
“If you don’t go, won’t that Lord Fang be very angry?” Su Wenyue asked with a bit of mischief.
“No, Lord Fang is generous and will not take offense with us commoners. Besides, when I said I would go show support, Lord Fang clearly said it was not necessary, so naturally, I must respect Lord Fang’s wishes.” Han Yu spoke righteously but with a hint of mischief, much to Su Wenyue’s liking.
Su Wenyue nodded in agreement, “Husband is right, with Lord Fang’s gracious demeanor, he must have meant what he said. Since Lord Fang does not wish for Husband to go, it’s best not to go.”
“Husband, do you like that Military Book?” Su Wenyue had been wanting to ask, even though she knew Han Yu liked it, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed up all night reading it, but she still wanted to hear it from Han Yu himself, feeling it was different.
“Like it, my Wife has really given me a huge surprise! How did I marry such a wonderful Wife, not only beautiful but also knowledgeable and reasonable, and blessed with good fortune, making my wishes come true? There can be no one better than my Wife in this world,” Han Yu was unwavering in his praise for his wife.
“Mhm, as long as you like it, it was worth all the effort and brainpower,” Su Wenyue blushed a little from Han Yu’s compliments. Was she that good?
“But Wife, never mention the two words ‘Military Book’ again, those two things can incite the coveting of too many people, even Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi cannot be told, understand?!”
Su Wenyue nodded, clearly understanding this principle, hence why she did not let Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi stay in the room while transcribing the Military Books. She was aware of the maxim that possessing a treasure might lead to misfortune, but she felt reassured that Han Yu cared so much for her.
The two then discussed the matter of the County Magistrate’s wife’s birthday.
“Husband, in a few days it will be the County Magistrate’s wife’s birthday, what shall we give her on that day?” Su Wenyue’s brows knitted together, she really disliked attending these so-called banquets, not only because they required one to prepare a gift, but also to flatter people she didn’t like, which she found completely pointless.
Han Yu currently held a very low-rank position, being an eighth rank; looking around, it was hard to find many whose rank was lower than his. Regardless, they could not avoid attending the birthday of the County Magistrate’s wife, especially since she had sent them a specific invitation, and to not go would be seen as being ungrateful.
Seeing his wife’s troubled face, Han Yu knew the reason and felt a bit of guilt. Although he knew what would be better for him, he was still reluctant to let his wife feel slighted. He was striving to advance his career to seek revenge but also to provide honor and luxuries for his wife and child.
Stroking Su Wenyue’s head affectionately, he said, “If you really don’t want to go, just make up an excuse, say you’re not feeling well, and just send a gift. The County Magistrate’s wife will surely understand, considering you’re pregnant with our child.”
