Chapter 191 Suspected Liu Xiuxiu is ill
The two of them walked around for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened. He Yuzhu saw that his sister's mood had completely recovered, so he took her to the courtyard.
They talked and laughed all the way, and when they got home, it was already getting dark. Liu Xiuxiu had already coaxed Changan to sleep and prepared dinner, and now she was sitting at the table quietly waiting for He Yuzhu and He Yushui to return.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, she raised her head and looked at the two of them, especially noticing the pile of delicious food in He Yushui's hand, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"Now that you're back, go wash your hands and eat, otherwise the food will get cold." Liu Xiuxiu's tone was light, without much emotion.
He Yuzhu and He Yushui looked at each other, feeling somewhat puzzled. They thought Liu Xiuxiu might be tired today, so her expression was a little cold. The two nodded in tacit understanding, washed their hands quickly, sat down at the dining table, and started eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull. He Yuzhu was the first to break the silence and said to Liu Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, you've worked hard today. You came back to cook and coax Chang'an." His tone was full of heartache and apology.
Liu Xiuxiu shook her head gently, indicating that it was nothing. He Yushui also said, "Sister-in-law, I will be back early tomorrow, you can just rest next time, and I and Silly Brother will cook." Her voice was full of care and consideration.
After listening to what the two said, Liu Xiuxiu looked at them deeply and did not answer. Instead, she asked, "How was Yushui's blind date today? Why did you come back so late?"
When He Yushui heard Liu Xiuxiu asking about her, her face flushed. She lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she looked a little shy. She stammered, "Not bad, not bad." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost inaudible.
He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He reached out and gently patted He Yushui's head, his eyes full of pampering and smiles. He said, "Look at how shy you are. You're about to get married, but you're still like a little girl."
After talking about He Yushui, He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu and said, "Yushui has settled down. The man will come to propose marriage on the 16th of this month, and we will get married on the 18th of next month." As He Yuzhu said this, he thought about what he talked about with He Daqing today, and continued, "Dad and Aunt Bai will also come next month."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu replied, "That's great."
After saying that, she thought of the cakes that He Yushui had placed in her room just now, and looked at He Yuzhu who had not answered her just now, why did the two of them come back so late, so she asked again: "Brother Yuzhu, why did you come back so late, have you been at the man's house all the time?"
He Yuzhu shook his head when he heard Liu Xiuxiu's question and said, "No, I took Yushui for a walk and bought her some food. She hasn't been out much since she got here."
Liu Xiuxiu paused for a moment when she heard this, and then continued to pick up the food as if nothing had happened. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes revealed a subtle displeasure. She said softly, "That's good. You must be hungry. Come eat quickly. You can rest early after eating."
At the dinner table, the three of them continued to eat with their heads down, but the atmosphere seemed a little subtle. Liu Xiuxiu would occasionally glance at He Yushui, as if she was thinking about something, and He Yushui could feel the vague gaze, occasionally looking up and meeting Liu Xiuxiu's gaze, then quickly looking away, feeling a little uneasy.
After finishing the meal, He Yuzhu patted He Yushui on the shoulder and motioned her to go back to her room to rest. Then, he turned to look at Liu Xiuxiu, frowning slightly, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "What's wrong with you today? Why did you keep staring at Yushui while eating and give her a cold look?"
Liu Xiuxiu's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said lightly: "Nothing, I'm just thinking about something."
She didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, so she changed the subject, "By the way, why did you come back so late today? Didn't you know Chang'an was at home? Why did you have to take Yu Shui shopping and spend so much money?"
He Yuzhu could hear the dissatisfaction and blame in Liu Xiuxiu's tone. He frowned and explained, "Xiuxiu, Yushui is homesick and not in a good mood. I just wanted to take her out to relax. Besides, she hasn't had a good time since she came."
Liu Xiuxiu listened to He Yuzhu's explanation, but her dissatisfaction did not decrease much. She felt that He Yuzhu was too indulgent towards He Yushui, but not caring enough about herself and Changan.
She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she said, "Brother Yuzhu, I understand your concern for Yushui, but you can't keep spending money on Yushui. Even if you don't care about me, you should at least care about Chang'an."
He Yuzhu felt helpless when he heard Liu Xiuxiu's words. He felt that since Liu Xiuxiu gave birth to Chang'an, her personality seemed to become more and more unpredictable.
He was now almost doubting whether she was sick. Thinking of this, a wave of worry surged in his heart, and he decided to go along with her and wait for a suitable opportunity to take people to the hospital for a check-up.
So, he slowed down his tone and said, "Xiu Xiu, it's my fault for not discussing it with you in advance. I will pay attention next time and try not to let this happen again."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, although Liu Xiuxiu's dissatisfaction was not completely dissipated, she still nodded, said nothing more, and turned back to her room.
However, the thorn in her heart did not go away. Her dissatisfaction and disgust towards He Yushui deepened because of this incident.
