Chapter 1263 is completely off-track.
Cheng Yan didn't expect Su Yueyao to hug him. He immediately hugged her tightly and nodded almost without hesitation, without thinking or listening to what Su Yueyao was saying.
Su Yueyao didn't hear Cheng Yan's words and thought he was still down, feeling that we didn't approve of him, so she continued to comfort him: "Cheng Yan, I really don't think your method is bad. It's just that these aristocratic families are all connected and their relationships are complicated. Try to deal with them gently first. If that doesn't work, then you can take action and kill them, okay?"
As Cheng Yan listened to Su Yueyao's words, she buried her head in Su Yueyao's neck, her face showing a gentle smile, completely devoid of the cold-blooded and murderous aura she had just displayed.
The others, watching the couple embrace, felt a pang of jealousy. Wasn't it a bit much for the wife to go to such lengths to appease someone who wasn't even angry? They didn't even do that for them...
"Chengyan..."
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say, my wife. I won't feel wronged."
"Cheng Yan is so nice!" Su Yueyao smiled and kissed Cheng Yan on the cheek after hearing his words.
Unable to hold back any longer, Baili Jihua coughed twice. Cheng Yan shot him a cold look, while Su Yueyao also snapped out of her daze and reached out from Cheng Yan's embrace.
Ignoring Cheng Yan's gaze, Baili Jihua moved to the two of them, craning his neck to look at Su Yueyao with a pitiful expression.
"My lady, can I have a kiss too? I've been checking all the staff and accounts at our shops in Fengdu lately, and I haven't rested for several nights. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes."
Su Yueyao's heart melted instantly when she saw Baili Jihua's pitiful eyes. She stood on tiptoe to kiss him, but the next second, she turned around and bumped her face into Cheng Yan's arms.
"Cheng Yan!" Baili Jihua shouted angrily when Su Yueyao failed to kiss him.
“My lady, don’t pay him any mind. He’s just pretending to be pitiful. He was only in charge of a small part. Consort Pei was in charge of the majority and handled a lot of things. He didn’t pretend to be pitiful at all.”
"Ah!" After hearing this, Su Yueyao looked up in the direction of Yang Qianxun and saw Pei Yuqi standing properly next to Huan Yanxi. The two immediately made eye contact and found that his face did look a bit haggard.
But his expression still carried a gentle and refined air, and the weariness only made him more attractive to her.
“My lady… although I haven’t done as much as Yuqi, I have tried my best to investigate and arrange things. It’s really been hard work!” Baili Jihua took a step forward, blocking Su Yueyao’s view of Pei Yuqi, and continued speaking.
Su Yueyao, whose gaze had been interrupted, hadn't had enough of Pei Yuqi yet. Her eyes turned to Baili Jihua, and she was once again attracted by his handsome appearance.
Su Yueyao suddenly felt incredibly guilty, having one in her arms, another standing beside her, and yet another eyeing from afar...
Everything about it...attracted her...made her so captivated that she couldn't decide which to choose...
"Lord Baili, you've worked hard, and so have we! We're too embarrassed to take credit in front of our mistress!" Xu Minghe snorted.
He almost got his wife to kiss him just now because he pretended to be pitiful, so he should do the same.
"My lady... I've been having a very tough time lately, I..."
"Minghe, what are you working so hard for? You were by your wife's side for the past few days, but then you went back to Fenglin Prefecture these past two days. What have you been busy with?" Baili Jihua ruthlessly exposed him.
"Then I'm busy too... Mistress... I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'...you are...!"
"..."
Watching the two bicker, Su Yueyao looked up at Cheng Yan, who was hugging her, and found that he was looking down at her with deep affection. Su Yueyao was immediately drawn into his gaze.
“My lady, they’re all just pretending to be pitiful to win my favor. Don’t believe them.”
Baili Jihua and Xu Minghe, who were bickering, both uttered the same sentence at the same time.
"You fart!"
"you shut up!"
"Baili, Minghe, watch your step," the First Prince reminded him helplessly.
Yang Qianxun frowned and looked at the booklet in his hand. He had been here for so long, and A Yao hadn't met a single person. She was completely off track.
Others either tried to attract and seduce Ayao, or tried various ways to tempt her.
Forget it, I'll just tell her quietly when I meet her tomorrow, and it's best to show her face less often!
He simply couldn't handle it; being this lord was exhausting. The next second, he gave the order:
"Your Highness, I'm leaving them... to you. I entrust the important task of letting my wife understand the Fengdu family to you. I still need to check some details about tomorrow's banquet, so I'll be leaving now!"
The eldest prince was suddenly handed a booklet, and immediately said, "My lord, don't give it to me... I still have to..." He had to go to the palace in a little while... Before he could finish speaking, Yang Qianxun had already quickly left the courtyard.
The next second, the eldest prince wanted to hand the booklet to the person next to him, but found that, apart from Chen Jingshu, everyone else was surrounding Su Yueyao, leaning against him, chattering and coaxing Su Yueyao.
“You…” The eldest prince exhaled and pointed at them.
Chen Jingshu, standing to the side, smiled as he looked at the Crown Prince's expression: "Your Highness, there are so many people in this book, involving the power, marriage, wealth, and so on of various noble families. If you read it to the Empress, you might be able to lull her to sleep."
"I think we should just forget about it! Let the wife show her face tomorrow."
The eldest prince: "................................"
"You already knew the outcome, yet you still rushed back today. The Dali Temple has so many investigations lately, yet you still had time to come back and check on things!"
"I am very busy, but I still want to see my wife. There will be many people coming tomorrow. I originally wanted to tell my wife some things, but looking at everyone's appearance, it is the right thing to do to stay by my wife's side tomorrow."
"Otherwise, if our wife is betrayed by the Li family or Minister Wenren, we'll regret it to death if we have more brothers."
“They can’t cause much trouble even if they come to our mansion.”
"It's always good to be careful. The Li family has been making a lot of underhanded moves before. A few days ago, His Highness set a trap, which made the Empress lose her composure. His Majesty was furious and almost imprisoned her again."
“But the Li family hasn’t made a move at all since receiving the news, which is very unusual. I have a feeling they might discover something, or that we’ve overlooked something,” Chen Jingshu said thoughtfully.
"Has Xingchen returned? We have sent people to keep a close watch on the first and second branches of the Li family, as well as the fourth and fifth branches of the collateral branches. They have not made any unusual moves."
"Not yet. They said the Slaughtering Pavilion has some matters to attend to. The message that came back last night said they would arrive in Fengdu today."
"Let's talk about it when Xingchen comes back tonight."
“If Your Highness waits for Consort Xing to return, he may not be able to come back tonight,” Cheng Yan said in a calm tone.
