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

Chapter 1217 You're not even helping us!

Seeing Pu An's discomfiture, Xu Minghe immediately declared, "Star Lord, you did the right thing. Pu An is just too idle. I agree!"

Nanfeng, Mo Rongjin, and Lin Zixu immediately nodded in agreement; Pu An had just been too infuriating.

Xingchen glanced at Nanfeng and the others, then looked at Xu Minghe at the foot of the bed with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Xu Minghe felt a chill run down his spine under Xingchen's gaze: "Xingce-jun, am I right?"

"Gang Zixu said he's the shopkeeper of yours. Have you met him? Are you familiar with him?"

“The shopkeeper? That’s one of my father’s men. He specifically chose him when I married my wife. I never imagined he would do something like this.”

Xu Minghe looked at Xingchen, who was deep in thought, and continued, "Although my mother is in charge of the Xu family, my father manages most of the affairs and has never made a mistake. The staff has been trained since childhood, and the manager's family is still under my father's control. Logically speaking, he should not betray me."

Nanfeng looked at Xingchen, who had remained silent, with a hint of seriousness on his face, and asked, "Lord Xingchen, is there something wrong with this person?"

"I've already arranged for people to look for that manager, Xing... Xingce Jun. We'll make sure all the money he embezzled is found."

"No need. Chengyan's men have already captured the person. He's with Jing Shu now. Go to the Dali Temple. That shopkeeper is acting strangely. Go and identify him. If you're not sure, send someone to notify the Xu family to find someone who knows this shopkeeper!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Minghe's face immediately turned serious: "Okay, I'll go right away."

“Pu An, you are indeed quite free. Go and handle this with Ming He! Also, isn’t investigating the whereabouts of the embezzled money your forte? Afterwards, you will assist Jing Shu in clarifying the matter.”

Upon hearing this, Pu An was utterly heartbroken. He had wanted to stay with his wife for a while longer after she woke up.

He might not even have time to come see his wife again... *sobs* I want to cry!

Upon hearing that Pu An wanted to come with him, Xu Minghe immediately smiled and tugged at him, saying, "Let's go! Pu An, we'll have to trouble you with the rest of the arrangements!"

Pu An glanced longingly at Su Yueyao, who was fast asleep on the bed, before leaving with Xu Minghe.

After the two left, Xingchen sat on the edge of the bed, gestured for Nanfeng, Mo Rongjin and Lin Zixu to sit down, and looked at Su Yueyao and said.

"Things are not peaceful outside lately. Many people are watching my wife and us. The more children my wife has, the more we need to keep an eye on them. It's a busy time. Once this period is over, my lord will allow you to spend more time with my wife."

"Those who want to arrange marriages for their children through their maternal clans should think carefully. If someone is not suitable, refuse them directly. Don't harm your wife for the sake of your maternal clans, or neither the lord nor I will spare you."

"Don't worry, Lord Xing, we know what we're doing."

"Lord Xingce, is something about to happen?" Mo Rongjin asked softly.

"I don't know, but I feel that the timing of Minghe's shop running into problems is a bit suspicious."

“That’s true. The key is that Minghe hadn’t noticed until he suddenly discovered a large sum of money was missing, which led him to find out that the manager had embezzled the money,” Lin Zixu said.

“We need to be careful lately. As the children’s full moon celebration approaches, those powerful families in Fengdu are making all sorts of underhanded moves.”

"We'll keep an eye out."

The group fell silent, sitting quietly by the bedside watching Su Yueyao, who was fast asleep.

Su Yueyao slept for more than an hour before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with Lin Zixu's face.

"what..."

"My lady... are you awake? Did I scare you?"

Su Yueyao exhaled, regained her senses, and opened her eyes to see a handsome face. Was it a good thing or a bad thing?

She tried to sit up, and Xingchen immediately helped her up.

Su Yueyao smelled a faint, cool pine scent and leaned against him with a smile: "Xingchen, you're here too!"

“My lady, Nanfeng and I are here too!” Mo Rongjin said with a smile, sticking his head out.

"Rong Jin, Nan Feng, aren't you two very busy? Have you been watching over me while I sleep? I remember Pu An was with me before I fell asleep, wait... where's Pu An?"

"My lady... you're being unfair. It's one thing for you to comfort him alone, but when he wakes up and sees us, he's still thinking about him," Lin Zixu grumbled.

"Is Zixu jealous?" Su Yueyao looked at the sulking Lin Zixu, reached out and pinched his cheek, and said with a smile.

"My wife, I'm just jealous of Urayasu. Can you please comfort me a little?"

“You don’t have anything for me to coax. Pu An… he… didn’t have a good life before. I just want to help him resolve his inner conflicts. It’s not about coaxing him, it’s about comforting him.”

"Didn't Qianqian arrange a lot of things for you? How come you still have time to watch over me?"

"My lady, do you know how much the Lord exploits us, and you don't even help us!" Mo Rongjin's voice was extremely sad, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing Mo Rongjin looking aggrieved and about to cry, Su Yueyao immediately softened: "Oh! Rongjin, don't cry! I can't interfere too much in the affairs of the backyard. I'll remind Qianqian later to arrange fewer things for you."

"My wife is so wonderful! I mean, my wife is the best person in the whole world." Lin Zixu smiled and pressed his face against Su Yueyao's chest.

Xingchen, half-embracing Su Yueyao, watched Lin Zixu's actions and snorted.

Su Yueyao was still engrossed in Lin Zixu's words and did not hear Xingchen's voice, but Lin Zixu did hear it. He paused slightly and tried to get out of Su Yueyao's arms.

Su Yueyao was overjoyed. When she woke up, all she saw were handsome and flawless people praising her. Life was so comfortable.

"Let me see who this eloquent person is?" Su Yueyao reached out and cupped Lin Zixu's face, looking at him with a smile.

Their faces were very close as they looked at each other. Lin Zixu blushed instantly: "My lady..."

"Oh, it's my adorable Zixu! Sorry, I'm blushing!" Su Yueyao teased with a smile.

She's got a much thicker skin than them now, hmph...

"My lady, I didn't."

“My lady, Zixu was watching you intently while you were sleeping, afraid you would disappear. Now he’s feeling embarrassed!” Mo Rongjin teased with a smile.

"Rong Jin, you... stop slandering me. You were staring at my wife the whole time, looking like you couldn't bear to part with her."

"I..."

"Rongjin, do you also want to take a good look at me? Then come here." Su Yueyao smiled and let go of Lin Zixu's hand, gesturing for Mo Rongjin to come over.

Once Lin Zixu was free, he immediately stood up and pulled Mo Rongjin to his place with all his might, and in an instant, their positions were switched.

Su Yueyao tugged at Mo Rongjin's clothes, gently touching his face with one hand as she looked at him.
