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

Chapter 1255 They're still laughing at me

...

Cui Yiyang looked awkwardly and uncomfortably at Su Yueyao, who was hugging the blanket and laughing loudly on the bed. Frowning, he didn't know what to do. He looked at Chen Jingshu and Yang Qianxun and found that they were also smiling and watching him like it was a show. He immediately said angrily:

"My lord, why do you and Jing Shu also think of me like that! I've already spoken up for you."

“Yiyang! Ayao has already promised me that she will have a child for me ‘alone’, so, actually... I don’t dislike Xingchen and His Highness that much.” Yang Qianxun said, looking at Su Yueyao who was laughing happily, but he emphasized the word “alone”.

Chen Jingshu, standing nearby, chimed in almost without hesitation, "Consort Cui, it's not me, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense. I already have two daughters, one more child than you. If the mistress is arranging a second child, she wouldn't consider me..."

"My lord... Jing Shu, you..." Cui Yiyang stared at the two of them in shock, speechless. The next second, he collapsed to Su Yueyao's bedside.

"My lady... the lord and Jing Shu bullied me... I kindly and honestly told my lady, and they even laughed at me..."

Su Yueyao, who was laughing happily, subconsciously moved further into the bed when she saw Cui Yiyang rushing towards her.

She looked up at his serious and handsome face, putting on a conflicted yet pitiful expression. Please forgive her, she really couldn't help but want to laugh.

"My lady...you're avoiding me...you don't like me that much anymore?" Cui Yiyang accused Su Yueyao with a heartbroken expression.

He is usually too busy and spends too little time with his wife each month. He is also quiet and doesn't like to talk much. It's rare that he's allowed to spend time with her today, and everyone is laughing at him.

He almost cried just thinking about it.

Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang, whose face was full of accusation, and held back her laughter. She moved closer to him and reached out to pat his head.

"Yiyang, I didn't say I don't like you. I just think you're cute. Your face is too square and serious. When I see a conflicted or hesitant expression on your face, it feels particularly out of place and makes me want to laugh."

I didn't mean to laugh at you!

"Won't my wife think I'm dull and unlikable?"

"Of course not, Yiyang is great! I like him very much."

"Really? My wife wouldn't lie to me, would she?" Cui Yiyang smiled and leaned his head against Su Yueyao's hand, his tone exceptionally gentle, a tone he had never used before.

"Of course it's true, I'm not lying to you."

"My wife likes me so much, how about I sleep in your bed tonight, and let the Lord and Jing Shu stay on the couch to watch over you?"

As soon as Cui Yiyang finished speaking, Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu, who were watching the show, froze, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at him.

Hearing Cui Yiyang's soft, weak voice, Su Yueyao nodded almost without thinking, "Okay! You'll sleep with me later, and Qianqian and Jing Shu can sleep on the couch in the outer room!"

"wife..."

"Ah..."

"My dear wife, you're the best to me. I'll make sure you're happy from now on." Cui Yiyang excitedly pulled Su Yueyao into his arms.

While out of Su Yueyao's sight, Cui Yiyang smiled slightly and glanced back at the two of them, his eyes filled with a dark and smug look.

Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu's faces immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Damn it... they were careless! They were just watching the show, and Yiyang treated them like spectators, successfully snatching away the wife... How infuriating...

Su Yueyao didn't see Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu's expressions. She gently patted Cui Yiyang with a smile on her lips.

After that, Cui Yiyang seemed to have unlocked a cheat code, making Su Yueyao laugh non-stop, while Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu could hardly get a word in edgewise. This continued until dinner time.

Cui Yiyang sat down next to Su Yueyao and coaxed her gently, "My lady, try this braised lotus root. It's very soft and tender. Eating some fish is easier to digest, and also..."

Su Yueyao ate all the food that Cui Yiyang put on her plate with a smile, while Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu, who were standing next to her, tightened their grip on their chopsticks.

It was a perfect way to separate Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu, and the two couldn't hide their resentful gazes.

He wanted to say something, but seeing Su Yueyao's smiling face, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

As night fell, Cui Yiyang, contented, embraced Su Yueyao and drifted into a deep sleep. He was exhausted from recently investigating those powerful families and spending two days guarding the silver mine.

Meanwhile, Yang Qianxun and Chen Jingshu, who were on the soft couch in the outer room, stared intently at the bed in the inner room. They gritted their teeth, realizing that such a great opportunity had been taken by Cui Yiyang.

The following day, the entire Su residence, except for Su Yueyao's room in the main courtyard, was bustling with people coming and going in and out of the front yard.

First, His Majesty issued an edict to inquire about Su Yueyao's condition. After that, the Empress and other noble ladies in the palace all sent people to deliver nourishing medicinal herbs and so on.

Yang Qian got up and left the main house before dawn. He was currently in the outer room entertaining the palace officials.

After working for more than an hour, Yang Qianxun let out a sigh of relief, and Chunri hurriedly handed him a water cup.

After taking a sip of water, Yang Qian asked, "Are there any other visitors from the palace outside?"

"There are some more, all of whom are close eunuchs of noble ladies of the fourth rank or so in the palace. Would Your Majesty like to see them?"

"Go and fetch the First Prince. He will be in charge of the people in the palace."

"My lord, His Majesty sent someone early this morning to fetch Tian Tian and Man Man to the palace, but His Highness refused outright, saying that the Queen is ill and he has no time to go to the palace. He is not at ease entrusting the young Queen and the young prince to others, and he is currently at odds with His Majesty's people," Chunri said.

"Ha! His Highness is putting pressure on His Majesty! You go there yourself and invite His Highness over directly. The eunuchs won't dare to stop you."

"Yes, my lord, I understand."

"And what is Feng Qi doing?"

"Young Master Qi is busy dealing with those visiting cards, as well as the affairs of the stewards in various parts of the mansion, and the accounts sent by some shops. He has been busy since early morning."

After listening, Yang Qianxun pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to take a look. If he can handle it himself, leave it for now. If he can't handle it, let me know."

"Yes, my lord."

"How is Lord Xun's injury? Could you go and see the Queen later?"

"I haven't received any news yet; Young Master Xu went there just as dawn was breaking."

"Send someone to check on Xun Cejun. They must go before noon."

"I will arrange it immediately." Chunri bowed and went to carry out the tasks assigned by Yang Qianxun.
