“So that’s what’s going on; why didn’t you tell me earlier and made me worry frivolously?” Su Wenyue complained somewhat. The matters Han Yu was talking about were not things that could be decided in a short while. Since things had reached this point, he must have planned for some time. If it weren’t for her insistence on building a house today, Han Yu probably wouldn’t have mentioned it.

“Nothing has been finalised yet, and I was afraid that any unforeseen events might disappoint you needlessly,” Han Yu explained, aware that his wife tended to worry about certain things and that he didn’t want her to misunderstand his intentions.

“I understand,” Su Wenyue responded with a grin. Although she was a bit upset that Han Yu didn’t consult her about things beforehand, she was still happy at heart. Han Yu had her best interests in mind, and his mindset was similar to someone else’s, both not fond of women mixing into men’s affairs outside the home. It wasn’t that Su Wenyue wanted to meddle; she just wasn’t very interested in the matters of men outside. She just hoped that Han Yu would give her a heads-up about matters concerning her.

“From now on, you can’t keep things from me. You have to at least inform me about what’s happening. I don’t want to control what you do outside, but I should at least be aware and not be clueless until the last minute,” Su Wenyue said, directly informing Han Yu of her thoughts. Otherwise, if she kept her thoughts to herself, how would Han Yu know?

Han Yu stroked Su Wenyue’s head, which was his way of assuring her. In truth, he didn’t mean to hide things; he just felt that some matters were meant for men and that there was no need to worry his wife about them. But since his wife felt this way, he would pay more attention in the future.

Now that Su Wenyue knew she wouldn’t be staying at the Han Family for much longer, she stopped fussing and began to rest and nourish her pregnancy with peace of mind. All the household affairs were being handled by Xiao Xi, so there was no need for her to get involved; she was quite content.

Su Wenyue did tell Xiao Xi about Han Yu’s plans. Xiao Xi could only be happy for Su Wenyue. She had been worried about the Miss and Uncle being apart for so long. With Uncle’s good looks and abilities, it was inevitable that some shameless women would set their sights on him. The Miss was still present, and that Miss Cousin was already behaving like that. If they were further apart, it would cause even more worry. Now things were looking up. Xiao Xi was worried sick, not considering that the military camp was filled with men, and that Han Yu, being new to it, wouldn’t have time to think about these distractions.

However, lying in bed with plenty of sleep led one to overthink, and Su Wenyue remembered something else: Han Yu would certainly live in the military camp after his transfer, and not only were there rules against women entering the camp without cause, but it was also a place full of men, which clearly meant Su Wenyue couldn’t possibly live there. So where would she stay after moving there with Han Yu?

Han Yu had only roughly shared his plans with Su Wenyue, so it was natural for her to worry and ask about them. Only after asking did she find out she would be living in a town near the camp and started to have Xiao Xi prepare everything they would need.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything. You just bring Xiao Xi with you when the time comes; there’s nothing else you need to be concerned about,” Han Yu said reassuringly, as he was always thorough with his arrangements and wouldn’t burden Su Wenyue with these matters.

Reassured by Han Yu’s words, Su Wenyue really did put her mind at ease. She trusted Han Yu’s competence; besides, renting a courtyard in the town was easy and just a matter of spending some silver, which wasn’t worth fretting over. But she didn’t know that Han Yu had indeed put considerable thought into this matter.

Han Yu thought that his wife needed to be pampered. Even if it was just renting a courtyard in the town, it couldn’t be too inferior, or else she might be uncomfortable. Her food and essentials also had to be of good quality. When considering all of this, it became clear that a considerable amount of silver would be required each month. If the Han Family were wealthy, all this would not be a problem, but Han Yu simply did not have much silver saved. Ensuring his wife had a comfortable life was no easy task. A single penny can sometimes thwart a hero; even the Prime Minister of his previous life, before achieving his status, was just a poor peasant from the countryside, straining his mind to earn more money to ensure his wife could have a good life.

“Tomorrow, I’ll be heading into the mountains with Ah Shuang for a longer trip, about three or four days. Just wait for me at home, and don’t worry,” Han Yu said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Su Wenyue was still concerned upon hearing this. Han Yu had indeed spent nights in the mountains while hunting cunning prey before, but he had never gone for such an extended period.

“Why will it take so long? Three or four days! The depths of the forest are fraught with fierce wild animals. You’ll be joining the military camp soon. Maybe you shouldn’t go, or just hunt smaller prey on the outskirts of the forest instead of being so reckless,” Su Wenyue urged.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been hunting since I was young and am very familiar with the forest. Even if there’s danger, I can avoid it. I’ve never had an accident in all these years, and with Chen Shuang together, we can look out for each other. You don’t need to worry,” he said, still speaking lightly, though he understood that this trip entailed some risks. Han Yu wanted to earn enough silver in one go, and had set his sights on the tiger in the mountains. A tiger was no ordinary prey; it was the king of the forest. Ordinary people would be terrified just by the sight of it, yet Han Yu was planning to hunt it down. If he succeeded, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for a good while and could even leave some for his father and mother to enjoy.

Although Han Yu was not narrow-minded and wouldn’t believe the rumors outside, nor was he so inflexible that he couldn’t adapt, as a man, he had his pride. He believed that a man should provide for his wife and ensure she leads a comfortable life. He was capable, and if he couldn’t even manage that, he would be disappointed in himself.

Su Wenyue didn’t know that Han Yu had set his sights on the king of the forest; otherwise, she would have been terrified. Seeing that Han Yu was determined, she didn’t attempt to dissuade him anymore. In her previous life, Han Yu had survived countless battlefields amid the clash of weapons and the sight of blood; surely, hunting couldn’t be more dangerous than warfare, so he should be fine.

Su Wenyue eased her own mind and didn’t dwell on it further, only asking Xiao Xi to prepare some extra dry food and wound medicine for Han Yu’s trip. Staying in the forest for such a long time required thorough preparation. Su Wenyue also planned to share the good news of her pregnancy once Han Yu returned from hunting, giving him a reason to celebrate.

“What’s the matter? Why is it so noisy outside? What happened?” Su Wenyue, who had sent Han Yu off early in the morning, had returned to bed to catch up on sleep and was dreaming when she was awakened by the noise outside. She asked with dissatisfaction, with no intention of getting out of the cozy cocoon of her bed.

“Miss, I’ll go and check,” said Xiao Xi, who was in the middle of chores. Hearing that the noise outside had disturbed her mistress, she frowned and went outside to see what was happening.
