Moonlight and Frosty Splendor - Chapter 49

Su Ningshuang and Yue'er stood in front of the grave, waiting for Li Tianlin and Han Shiyun to return.
A long time passed, and Su Ningshuang grew anxious. She whispered, "Yue'er, tell me what happened just now again. Was that woman really not an enemy?"
Yue'er said, "Auntie knows that woman. She even said we need an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl for our meals." Suddenly becoming agitated, she picked up a pebble from the ground with her little leather boots and said, "What does Auntie mean by that? Does it mean my senior brother is having an affair with another woman?"
After a moment's thought, Su Ningshuang understood the woman's identity and immediately felt relieved, smiling as she said, "It's alright, we'll know when they come back and ask them."
Just then, Li Tianlin, Han Shiyun, and Lu Wanying walked over quickly. Yue'er rushed forward, glaring at Li Tianlin, and asked, "Senior brother, who is this woman? What's her relationship with you?" She pulled him to her side and stared fiercely at Lu Wanying, saying, "Who are you? How dare you provoke my husband?"
Han Shiyun hurriedly tugged at Yue'er's sleeve and whispered, "Yue'er, don't worry, things aren't as simple as you think."
Yue'er, however, was unconvinced and waved her hand angrily, saying, "Auntie, you also have a share in my senior brother's inheritance. Are you just going to watch this messy woman walk into our house?"
Su Ningshuang quickly pulled Yue'er back and turned to Lu Wanying, asking, "This young lady, is your surname Lu?"
Lu Wanying bowed gracefully to Su Ningshuang and said, "Little sister Lu Wanying greets elder sister. I have long heard that elder sister Su is the most beautiful woman in Yuzhou, and seeing her today, I can confirm that the reputation is well-deserved."
"It's no use trying to please Mother," Yue'er said angrily. "I won't let you—" Suddenly, she looked at Lu Wanying's swollen belly, her finger trembling as she pointed, and asked in a trembling voice, "Whose is it?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Lu Wanying's eyes. She smiled slightly, deliberately sticking out her belly, and said in a leisurely voice, "Tianlin and I fell in love at first sight. We were mutually attracted, and after spending a wonderful night together, I became pregnant with his child..."
Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in Yue'er's eyes. She cried out and ran out while sobbing.
"Moon!" Li Tianlin hurriedly chased after her.
Seeing the two run off into the distance, Han Shiyun wanted to chase after them, but worried that Su Ningshuang would be left unattended. She couldn't help but stomp her foot and scold, "Little sister of the Lu family, why are you teasing Yue'er like this?"
Lu Wanying showed no remorse and laughed, "It was just a joke. It's alright, that scoundrel will naturally coax her." As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "He made me suffer for months, he deserves to suffer a little too."
The three people present naturally knew who "he" referred to.
Han Shiyun whispered a few words in Su Ningshuang's ear. Su Ningshuang nodded slightly and pulled Lu Wanying, saying, "Miss Lu, since Old Master Lu has already agreed to the marriage, we are all family now. Ningshuang will take the liberty of calling you 'sister.' Wanying, I know you've suffered a lot during this time because you were pregnant out of wedlock, and I've suffered just as much. Once you're in the family, I promise I won't treat you like an outsider and will treat you like my own sister."
These few words brought tears to Lu Wanying's eyes. For the past few months, she had been pregnant out of wedlock and had been forced to take extended leave of absence. Although her grandfather protected her, people didn't say anything to her face, but behind her back she had endured countless scornful looks and whispers. Even the strongest woman would find it hard to bear such treatment. Hearing Su Ningshuang's candid words now, her heart ached, and she gracefully bowed, saying, "Wanying greets elder sister. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Su Ningshuang hurriedly helped her up, looked at her belly, and said softly, "Sister, you're about six or seven months pregnant, aren't you? How are you feeling?"
Lu Wanying nodded slightly: "I'm fine, it's just that I had severe morning sickness for the first few months, and I was vomiting bile."
"Hehe, you've never given birth before, you have no experience. I was the same when I was pregnant with Yue'er..."
For a pregnant woman, the best way to communicate with another pregnant woman is to talk about how to breastfeed. Su Ningshuang sincerely showed her goodwill, and before long, the two were as close as sisters. Even Han Shiyun listened intently to their conversations about breastfeeding, thinking that she might find it useful in a few months.
The three of them returned to the manor in a carriage. Half a day later, Li Tianlin and Yue'er also returned. Yue'er was still sulking, her eyes red-rimmed, clearly having cried. Despite her anger, she didn't cause any more trouble; after all, she wasn't someone who didn't know her place, and the fact that Lu Wanying was pregnant with her husband's child meant she couldn't really kick her out. Li Tianlin, on the other hand, had a bruise around his eye, which was still noticeable even after some makeup, and as for the extent of his internal injuries, that remained unknown.
Su Ningshuang glanced at the two of them, then turned back to Lu Wanying with a smile and continued talking. Even Han Shiyun didn't show much concern for Li Tianlin. Accepting Lu Wanying was one thing, but forgiving her philandering husband was quite another. Even if he wasn't entirely at fault, the two women agreed that it would be a good idea for someone to give him a good beating.
Not long after, members of the Lu family came to deliver the dowry. The drivers were several burly men who, although dressed in plain clothes, clearly came from government service. As soon as they entered the gate, they shoved aside the servants of the Han family and unloaded silk fabrics, jade screens, carved beds, chests and utensils from the carriage, filling the courtyard.
The burly man leading the group strode into the living room carrying the invitation. Upon seeing Su Ningshuang, he immediately knelt down, his back ramrod straight, and boomed in a voice like thunder, "This humble servant greets Madam Han. As instructed by Master Lu, we have delivered the fourth young lady's dowry. Master Lu said that the eighth day of next month is an auspicious day and inquired whether Madam would like to set the marriage on that day?"
"Since it was Old Master Lu who chose the date, it must be quite good. Let's set the wedding date for that day. You've all come a long way and must be tired; please have some refreshments."
The woman agreed and instructed her servants to move her dowry into the room. She was then led by a servant to have her meal.
When it was time for dinner, Su Ningshuang asked Granny Xu to invite Lu Wanying to the living room. The group sat around the table, eating in silence, the atmosphere somewhat awkward. The three women were mother and daughter, and sisters-in-law, yet they were all the same man's women. They didn't feel it when they were family, but now that there was an outsider at the table, it became a little awkward.
Yue'er ate a few mouthfuls of rice, but she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Lu Wanying. She could tolerate her aunt, who was family and had saved her husband's life; letting her into the family was already a huge favor. Why should this Lu woman get a share of the pie? As she ate, she muttered to herself, "She's not even married into the family yet and she's already moving in. She's shameless." Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone at the table could hear her.
Lu Wanying's eyes flickered, but her expression remained unchanged. She picked up a piece of food and casually said, "I wasn't planning on moving in, but what can I do? I'm pregnant with Tianlin's child. A widow and her child need his father's care, even if it means being gossiped about by idle people and feeling wronged. I have no choice but to live with him. Heh, little sister, I wonder when you'll have Tianlin's child?"
Yue'er slammed down her bowl and said sternly, "What little sister? I'm my senior brother's lawfully wedded wife, his legal wife. Don't think that just because you're older than me, you should call me 'elder sister' now that you're married!"
"Hehe," Lu Wanying gently twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, looking Yue'er up and down, and said with a smile, "Big sister? I can't see where it's big." Her gaze moved from Yue'er's face to her chest, and her smile became more obvious. As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.
Yue'er gritted her teeth in anger at this action. Her small breasts had always been a source of self-pity, and how could she allow this woman to look down on her? She squeezed out a few cold words through gritted teeth: "What's the use of big breasts? They're a waste of fabric, and you can't even stand steadily when you walk."
"Having a large chest does have many inconveniences," Lu Wanying nodded unexpectedly, then reached out and lifted one of her full breasts, sighing, "But at least there's one advantage," she patted her belly and smiled, "my child won't go hungry in the future."
Yue'er was so angry her eyes were practically spitting fire. Her little fists clenched tightly, and without thinking, she blurted out, "What's there to be proud of? You think you're big enough? Go ahead and compete with your mother!"
With a thud, Han Shiyun spat out a mouthful of rice and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Let's all say less. Today is Wanying's first day in our family, and we'll be living together from now on. Let's not let our bickering ruin our harmony."
The two women exchanged a glance. Yue'er snorted and lowered her head to continue eating. Lu Wanying finished her meal leisurely, then stood up and said softly with a smile, "Tianlin, help me back to my room to rest. Being pregnant makes me tired easily; I'm sleepy right after eating." As she spoke, she glanced at Yue'er, so angry that Yue'er almost broke her chopsticks.
Su Ningshuang watched the two bickering with a smile, and gestured for Li Tianlin to help Lu Wanying to rest.
There were many empty rooms in the Han residence, and servants had already prepared one. Li Tianlin helped Lu Wanying walk slowly. As soon as they turned a corner, Lu Wanying straightened up, slapped away Li Tianlin's hand from her waist, and continued walking. There was no trace of her previous unsteady gait.
Li Tianlin followed Lu Wanying into the house, helped her sit down at the table, and sat on the other side of the table. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He hadn't even spent three days with her in total, and they knew nothing about each other, yet they were about to become husband and wife for life. It all felt like a dream.
Lu Wanying took the teacup, and Li Tianlin hurriedly poured tea for her. As she slowly sipped the tea, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Li Tianlin, a smile playing on her lips. She immediately straightened her face and said, "What, are you really going to stay here and not leave, planning to share a room with me? Although we have a marriage agreement, we're not officially married yet. You don't need to be in such a hurry, do you?" She raised her hand and pointed to the door.
Li Tianlin blushed immediately, stood up and said, "Then you should get some rest. I'll be going now."
Lu Wanying hummed in agreement, and when Li Tianlin reached the door, she suddenly said, "Tomorrow, have the kitchen prepare some chicken soup. I want to drink it in the morning. Remember to make it mild. Also, I like Biluochun tea, not Maojian. Have someone change the tea leaves tomorrow. Okay, that's all for now. Make sure you close the door when you leave."
Watching Li Tianlin leave, Lu Wanying withdrew her gaze, rested her chin on her hand, and stared blankly at the candlelight. After a while, she reached out and touched her belly, a blush spreading across her face. She muttered under her breath, "Idiot..."
Li Tianlin stepped out the door and let out a long sigh. Lu Wanying was just a pretty young woman in her early twenties, yet her every smile and frown brought him immense pressure. The thought of spending his life with her filled him with some worries, and he also felt an unspeakable affection for her.
Walking casually to the backyard, I arrived at Han Shiyun's room. Just as I was about to push the door open, I suddenly heard a scream from inside, followed by a loud slap, as if a hand had been slapped on the buttocks. Then I heard Yue'er's voice say, "Don't move!"
Han Shiyun pleaded in her voice, "Yue'er, stop fooling around, please let me go. I'm so embarrassed..."
Li Tianlin heard Yue'er chuckle strangely, and he could almost picture her smug expression as her eyes crinkled, revealing two rows of small white teeth: "Who told you not to speak up for me at the dinner table today? That woman is sharp-tongued, and you embarrassed me by not helping me, so you'll be punished."
"My sister-in-law said that the Lu family's younger sister is pregnant, and that we should be more accommodating to her and not make her angry."
There was another "smack".
"From now on, you're not allowed to listen to your mother, you have to listen to me. In the Han family, you're my aunt, but in the Li family, I'm the legal wife, and you and your mother are ranked after me. Be a good girl and listen to me, otherwise when you enter the family, I won't accept the tea you offer. Now, lift your bottom up a little higher."
Perhaps frightened by Yue'er, Han Shiyun stopped arguing, and all that could be heard was Yue'er's exceptionally cheerful laughter.
Li Tianlin chuckled inwardly and pushed open the door. He saw the aunt and niece writhing on the bed. Yue'er, wearing a pale white undergarment that revealed her fair arms and legs, her hair disheveled, held a red rope tightly binding Han Shiyun. Han Shiyun had even removed her undergarment, wearing only a bodice, her arms bound behind her back, her buttocks raised high, her underpants hanging on her knees, the red rope accentuating her round, white flesh—a scene undeniably lewd. The two were startled to see Li Tianlin enter. Han Shiyun cried out, breaking free from Yue'er's grasp and burrowing under the covers, wrapping herself up tightly. Yue'er blushed, forcing a nonchalant expression, giving an awkward laugh, quickly getting off the bed and running out of the room, her triumphant laughter echoing from outside.
Hearing Yue'er run off into the distance, Li Tianlin suppressed a laugh, sat down by the bed, and reached out to lift the blanket, asking, "Yun'er, what were you two doing just now?"
Han Shiyun held tightly to the corner of the blanket, refusing to come out, and whispered through the blanket, "Yue'er is angry that I didn't speak up for her at the dinner table tonight. After dinner, she came over and forcibly stripped my clothes off, and even said she was going to tie me up..."
"So you're just going to obediently let her bully you?"
The voice from under the covers was tinged with shyness: "I was just fooling around with her, it's not bullying. Besides, besides... she's your legal wife, but I'm your..." The last two words were mumbled, and Li Tianlin didn't hear them clearly: "If I anger her, what if she really acts like the legal wife in the future? Wouldn't I be even more embarrassed?"
Li Tianlin almost laughed out loud. He slowly lifted the blanket, revealing Han Shiyun's blushing face, her eyes filled with tenderness. He lowered his head and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Yue'er loves to be silly, like a little child. Don't listen to her nonsense. In my heart, you, Shuang'er, and Yue'er are all the same. There's no distinction between a principal wife and a concubine."
Han Shiyun's eyes sparkled with a mixture of shyness and joy. She hummed in agreement and changed the subject, saying, "How did you end up here? Aren't you staying at Wanying's tonight?"
Li Tianlin sighed and recounted Lu Wanying's reaction, making Han Shiyun laugh so hard her shoulders trembled: "Serves her right. Wanying got pregnant out of wedlock and suffered so much; I wonder how much she resents you. You'd better just bear with it; you'll suffer a lot in the days leading up to the wedding."
