Chapter 450: The Queen Mother's Carefulness
Yu Haitang stood in the shadow of the porch, her eyes closely following Chang'an, who lowered his head and remained silent after calling her, a completely different attitude from how he treated He Yuzhu.
She bit her lower lip lightly and said to herself, "Is blood relationship really irreplaceable?" This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
But then, a gentle warmth surged into my heart, the joy and anticipation of becoming a mother. "But fortunately, I will have my own child soon."
She gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, where a new life was growing, a life connected to her by blood and who would bring her infinite hope and love.
This action made her eyes shine again, as if all her troubles were relieved at this moment.
He Yuzhu was standing by and keenly caught Yu Haitang's subtle emotional changes. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern.
He asked softly, "Haitang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" His tone was full of concern.
Yu Haitang looked up and met He Yuzhu's eyes full of understanding and concern. A warm current surged in her heart. She shook her head gently, and a more sincere smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, with a little more relief and gratitude in that smile:
"It's okay, Yuzhu brother, I just remembered something and was a little distracted. Let's go in quickly and don't let Dad wait too long."
As she spoke, she took a step forward, gently took He Yuzhu's arm, and walked into the house. Seeing this, Chang'an hurriedly followed, and the three of them walked into the house together.
When He Daqing saw several people coming in, he hurriedly greeted them, "Come and eat, otherwise the food will get cold." As he said that, he served each person a meal and placed it in front of them.
......
He Yushui returned home with heavier steps than usual, and a hint of sadness on her face, as if she was worried about something. She walked to the dining table lightly, and the slight sound of the chair when she sat down was particularly clear.
At the dinner table, she was no longer as lively and noisy as usual. She just picked up the food silently, chewed it slowly, and her eyes occasionally drifted to the window, as if she was thinking about some profound problem.
After dinner, He Yushui stood up slowly as usual, with a little unnoticeable stiffness in her movements. She said softly to the Queen Mother, "Mom, let me help you clean up."
After saying that, he began to tidy up the dishes. Every movement he made was extremely cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she became even more confused, but on the surface she remained calm and just cooperated with He Yushui silently.
After the two of them cleaned the table together, Wang's mother did not go into the kitchen to help wash the dishes as usual, but deliberately stayed in the living room, turning her eyes with disappointment to Wang Xin who looked fine.
"Wang Xin," Wang's mother's voice was filled with concern and probing, "What happened to your wife today? I think she's a little bit off, listless, as if she's hiding something. You have to ask her about it later. If she really has any difficulties, we have to work together as a family to find a solution, understand?"
When Wang Xin heard this, he suddenly looked up and looked at Wang's mother in surprise, then quickly turned his head to look towards the kitchen door, but He Yushui was no longer there.
"Yu Shui? Something happened to her? How come I didn't notice it at all?" Wang Xin's tone was full of surprise and confusion. His brows were furrowed, and he wanted to find He Yu Shui immediately to find out what was going on.
As soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, Wang's mother's face darkened instantly, her brows furrowed, and her hand unconsciously raised up and gently patted Wang Xin's arm. Although the force was not strong, it was enough to express her dissatisfaction and anxiety.
"Keep your voice down, kid, how can you be so tactless!" She lowered her voice, her eyes flashing with a mixture of blame and concern.
After saying that, she couldn't help but glance towards the kitchen again, and saw He Yushui was washing dishes with her head down, and didn't seem to be disturbed by the noise just now. She breathed a sigh of relief and a look of relief appeared on her face.
Wang Xin was slapped by his mother and immediately realized his mistake. A trace of embarrassment and regret flashed across his face. He quickly gave his mother a flattering smile, with a bit of coquettishness in his tone:
"Mom, don't worry. I love my wife dearly, so you don't need to remind me every day. I didn't notice it, but I will pay attention to it next time."
After hearing what Wang Xin said, the corners of Wang's mouth slightly raised, but there was still some dissatisfaction in her eyes. "Bah, you don't have to remind me, right? Look at you, you can't even detect your own wife's emotions, it really makes me worry."
She spat lightly, with a tone of helplessness and doting. After that, she said no more, turned around and wanted to leave, her steps revealed a hint of urgency, as if she was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would be annoyed by Wang Xin's "childishness".
