Chapter 1216 You still ask me what to do?
After Yang Qianxun, the First Prince, and Xingchen finished handling the arrangements, Xingchen stepped into the courtyard.
"Let's go over there later, Xingchen! Yao will take a nap around this time."
"It's alright, I'll go take a look. I also need to see Minghe later, especially since I have some free time today. After tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have time to see my wife." Xingchen gave Yang Qianxun a deep look before lifting her foot to walk towards the main courtyard.
Yang Qianxun, seemingly oblivious to the deeper meaning in Xingchen's eyes, smiled and said, "Alright, you can investigate the manager of Minghe Shop. Let me know when you've done your research, and I won't disturb you while you go to see Ayao."
Xingchen snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the eldest prince joked, "My lord, you're probably the first person to treat Xingchen like this, and you even dare to arrange things for him like this. And Nanfeng and the others, they're all so busy, yet they're not even allowed to see the mistress a little more today. I feel sorry for them!"
Hearing the Crown Prince's teasing, Yang Qianxun looked up at him and said, "Your Highness pities them? I have some things to do here. How about I assign them to you? You can help them with their burdens."
"No... I have a lot of things to do in the palace. I don't have time. It's getting late. I should go to the palace to pick up Tian Tian and Man Man. I'm leaving! I won't do any of the assignments given to me!" With the last word, the eldest prince had already disappeared.
Yang Qianxun watched the eldest prince disappear with a slight smile, looking indifferent, as if to say, "You still dare to tease me like this."
Upon entering, Chunri paused, seeing his master's demeanor. His master's aura was growing increasingly imposing... He felt sorry for the young men in the harem; his master was incredibly capable when it came to making decisions...
Cunning and ruthless...
"Is there anything going on with the Queen?" Yang Qian asked casually, sensing the approaching spring day out of the corner of his eye.
"Reporting to my lord, after the Queen comforted Lord Pu, she had just rested when, not long after, all the other gentlemen came over."
Yang Qianxun frowned upon hearing this: "Have they disturbed the Queen?"
"No, they should all be watching over each other in the room by the bedside."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qianxun was about to say something when he sighed and decided to let them spend some quality time with Ayao today, since they had some rare free time.
As Ayao's full moon celebration approaches, they will have more and more things to deal with, and everyone will probably be busy. Let's indulge them for one more day!
"As long as they don't disturb the Queen, you don't need to worry about them. You just need to guard the Queen from the outside. Have the food prepared in advance by the kitchen. Report to us immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, my lord, I shall take my leave now." Upon receiving the order, Chunri bowed and withdrew.
Yang Qianxun stood there for a while, quietly watching Su Yueyao's courtyard, until a servant came to inform him of something before he turned and left.
Meanwhile, in Su Yueyao's room, the area around the bed was filled with people.
"It's rare to have a day to see my wife, but I haven't even said two words to her yet. It's so painful," Xu Minghe muttered as he sat at the foot of the bed.
"Minghe, stop muttering. If you wake up your wife, and the lord finds out, I won't care if you're punished. Tell me, how could someone as smart as you be fooled by the shopkeeper?" Lin Zixu said speechlessly.
The dowry shops that the Xu family gave to Minghe were all top-notch. Previously, he was only responsible for the final accounting audit and handing over half of the profits to the public.
However, he had been nauseous for the past few months, so the matter was handed over to the Lord and Yuqi. No wonder the Lord and Yuqi handed these matters back to him to manage himself; it was because something went wrong.
For over a year since Minghe took over, the manager had been embezzling money for more than six months without Minghe noticing! He foolishly believed it, and now that business has suddenly gone bad, where has his brain gone!
"I'm usually busy with military affairs, how can I have time to check everything one by one?" Xu Minghe muttered with his head down.
Hearing Mo Rongjin muttering this time, Nanfeng looked at him speechlessly.
“Minghe, we’ve been just as busy as you. Our shops haven’t had any problems like this,” Mo Rongjin and Nanfeng replied softly.
"What do we do now?!"
"What to do? You're asking me what to do? We found out about the shopkeeper's problem immediately, so why didn't we arrest him? Instead, he disappeared!" Lin Zixu's voice almost cracked.
"Zixu, keep your voices down. If you wake the mistress, I'll have Chunri report back to the lord!" Pu An, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed silently watching Su Yueyao, snorted.
"You... Pu An, how dare you complain? My wife just coaxed you for so long, and you didn't even have a dowry. My wife has never coaxed me so gently before... You..." Lin Zixu said angrily to Pu An.
Thinking about how this was such a rare day, his wife had spent more than an hour alone with Pu An and had comforted him so much... Although he knew Pu An was not in a good mood, as a man, how could he let his wife worry about him?
Waaah... but he was really envious!
Pu An smiled slightly, looking at the four of them with envious expressions, and chuckled, "Look at you all, marrying the mistress of the house, with such large dowries, it must be such a hassle to manage them. It's not as good as me, being single, and I even have a monthly allowance specially given to me by the mistress of the house. I'm truly one of a kind!"
"Once I've finished dealing with court affairs, I'll stay by my wife's side every day. I'll have the most free time!"
As soon as Pu An finished speaking, Lin Zixu and the others gasped in anger, and even Mo Rongjin, who was usually good-tempered, changed his expression.
"You have nothing, you're just relying on your wife, how dare you... say that?"
“Why are you embarrassed to say it? It’s my ability to rely on my wife and not be disliked by her. Alright, I won’t talk to you four busy people anymore. I’ll go tell someone to prepare some snacks. My wife is awake and hungry, so it’s perfect for her to eat.” Pu An finished speaking and got up. As soon as he turned around, he saw Xing Chen standing to the side, looking at him with a half-smile.
Urayasu's legs went weak, and he almost fell: "Hoshi... Concubine... what brings you here?"
Upon hearing Pu An's words, Lin Zixu and the other three turned around and looked over, then immediately stood up.
"I came to see my wife. I didn't expect you, Urayasu, to be so eloquent and so good at irritating people!"
"Oh? I'd almost forgotten! You're the only one in the backyard with no assets, so you're the most carefree. Should I report to the lord and arrange something for you..."
"Lord Xingce, I was wrong. I'm already overwhelmed with court affairs. If I arrange anything else, I'll be exhausted... I just... I just..." Pu An's voice was filled with panic as he stammered for a long time, not knowing how to continue.
He was comforted by his wife, and thinking about how happy he was to have married such a wife, he became momentarily carried away with his emotions...
