In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1383: Everything is negotiable, you know?

“The powerful families in each state are deeply intertwined. If they encounter a particularly difficult case, it would take too long for Pu An and his team to handle it. A Yao definitely wants to see them return safely before giving birth.”

“Direct military suppression is indeed the fastest way. Yuqi is accompanied by Cheng Feng and Cheng Sha, and Hao Xuan and Nan Feng from Pu An are both skilled in martial arts. In addition, there are Cheng Rong and Cheng Sheng. That’s a good approach.”

After Yang Qianxun finished speaking, the eldest prince said directly, "Then I will go to the palace now and ask the Empress to issue an edict and transfer order. Pu An and the others can use it if they can, and it would be better if they can't."

After finishing his speech, the eldest prince left and went straight into the palace.

When the eldest prince received the edict and transfer order personally written by the empress that evening, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next two days, everyone in the manor was preparing luggage for Pu An and the others to travel far away. Su Yueyao was full of worry and reluctance, but she knew she couldn't stop them.

After all, they were going out on her behalf this time.

Even if they don't go, she'll go sooner or later, not only for the Queen but also for Sweetie.

The one who had the best time among them was Wenren Qichi.

Because Pu An and the others went on a long trip, Su Yueyao didn't stay in his house. She spent most of her time with Pu An, Nanfeng, and Haoxuan.

After Pei Yuqi decided to go with them, he was almost nowhere to be seen for the past two days. He had a lot of things to deal with, and once he left, someone else would have to take care of the other young masters' shops.

Of all the people in the manor, only Pu An and his family could keep her company.

Seeing how busy everyone else was, Su Yueyao made a point of checking their luggage, just in case they had forgotten something.

“My lady, there’s no need to look. We’re all well prepared and can set off first thing tomorrow morning,” Pu An said reassuringly, holding Su Yueyao’s hand.

“Yes, my lady, we can buy new clothes when we get there. We also have businesses in some prefectures, so don’t worry!” Xun Haoxuan chimed in.

“My lady, Yuqi is still with us! Pei’s Trading Company has residences and shops in almost every prefecture of Fengluan Kingdom, so they won’t let us suffer.” Nanfeng, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

“I know, but I still can’t help but worry. This time you’re not just going out alone, but in several states. You’ll be on the road for a long time.”

"What if they try to sabotage you? It's always good to bring extra supplies just in case."

“My lady, they wouldn’t dare. They’re only thinking about befriending us now. No one would be foolish enough to provoke us.”

"Furthermore, we no longer need to go to Qingzhou Prefecture, Yuzhou Prefecture, and Yingzhou Prefecture in the northwest. This has already saved us a lot of travel time."

"My wife, just focus on your pregnancy and wait for us to return," Pu An explained.

Hearing their words, Su Yueyao sighed. In the past, she was the one who traveled far away, and she thought that they must have been just as worried when they saw her off.

"Pu'an, Haoxuan, Nanfeng, His Highness has already obtained an imperial decree from His Majesty. If some people go too far or prey on the people, you don't need to talk to them too much. Chengfeng will follow them in the shadows and directly mobilize troops to deal with them. Make sure they don't hurt you."

"No matter what happens, protect yourselves first. If there's an emergency, as long as you're all safe and sound, everything else can be discussed, understand?" Su Yueyao said to the three of them in a very formal tone.

The three of them glanced at Su Yueyao.

Pu An unconsciously tightened his grip on Su Yueyao's hand.

“My lady, we will take care! We want to come back soon so we can see you give birth, and we miss the children very much too.”

“Pu’an, your Sisi, Nanfeng, your Gui’er and Yi’er are still young, so we won’t bother you. But my Rui Rui cried a lot yesterday because I’m going on a long trip.” Xun Haoxuan said with a bitter smile and heartache.

His daughter had just learned to speak, and she hugged him, crying and begging him not to leave. His heart broke at that moment.

Hearing this, Su Yueyao smiled and said, "With children to worry about, you can come back sooner, otherwise we won't be able to calm them down when they make a fuss."

“My lady, once I’m gone, Rui Rui will be fine.”

“My lady, you’re wrong. Even without children, with you waiting at home, we’d love to come back as soon as possible.” Xun Haoxuan said, looking deeply into Su Yueyao’s eyes.

Su Yueyao was momentarily stunned by Xun Haoxuan's gaze, a smile playing on her lips as she reached out and touched his cheek: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Xun Haoxuan subconsciously rubbed his face against Su Yueyao's palm, changing the subject and saying, "My wife, because we are going on a long trip, you have given Qichi some relief these past two days."

"My lady, we're leaving now. Are you still going to stay at Wenren's place?" Nanfeng asked curiously.

"Of course... I went. I said I would stay for four or five days, but I only stayed one night."

Pu An glanced at Su Yueyao, who seemed a little awkward, and chuckled, "If my wife is too soft-hearted to bother him anymore, it's fine if she doesn't go."

"I...I didn't soften my heart, I just forgot..."

"Yes, we know, the wife doesn't need to explain."

Hearing Pu An's teasing, Su Yueyao snorted and playfully pinched his hand.

"My lady, it hurts... I only said that because I know you're soft-hearted."

"I didn't even use any force, why are you in pain?" Su Yueyao said angrily, pinching Pu An's face when she heard him cry out in pain.

Pu An smiled and held Su Yueyao's hand that was pinching his cheek, his tone full of affection: "I just want my wife to be happy. I'm so reluctant to leave her this time."

Upon hearing Pu An's tone, Su Yueyao recoiled as if she had been burned.

"I can't bear to part with you either."

"My lady, what about Nanfeng and me? You can't just be reluctant to part with Pu'an, can you?" Xun Haoxuan snorted.

Upon hearing Xun Haoxuan's words, Su Yueyao's expression became unnatural, and she immediately shifted her gaze, saying, "I can't bear to part with either of you, I can't bear to part with you and Nanfeng."

"My wife, you're so wonderful..."

Su Yueyao stayed with the three of them for most of the day until the afternoon when she was too tired to stay awake any longer, and they forcibly carried her to bed to sleep.

Seeing how concerned the three of them were about her, Su Yueyao fell asleep with a smile on her lips.

Meanwhile, Wenren Qichi was feeling much better; at least he wasn't constantly vomiting.

Even so, Wenren Qichi visibly lost weight and became weaker than before, almost bedridden.

"Master, you didn't even plead for me when I was beaten so badly that day," Ye Xing said, clutching his wounds and limping into Wenren Qichi's room.

Wenren Qichi, who was half-lying on the bed reading official documents, glanced at him.

"Once you've recovered, go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment!"

"Master, no, I'm already in this state, why punish me?"

"What do you think?" Wenren Qichi said coldly, then covered his mouth and gagged twice as he looked at Ye Xing. If he had the strength, he would have killed him directly, so that he would stop Ye Xing from tricking him again and again.
