Chapter 1358 But he's really lazy!
Upon hearing Chen Jingshu's words, Gongyang Ruoyu immediately tried to explain, "My lady...no, I..."
Before Gongyang Ruoyu could finish explaining, Su Yueyao asked in surprise, "You two were bickering yesterday, and now you're so close? Qi Chi, you agreed to this?"
"Well, I can't refuse Gongyang's kind invitation. We'll be brothers from now on, so it's fine to be closer."
Gongyang Ruoyu: "................................................................................"
How come I didn't know Wenren was so outgoing? Gongyang Ruoyu was a little surprised that Wenren Qichi would be like this, and he was speechless for a moment.
Su Yueyao glanced at Wenren Qichi, who had a calm expression, and then at Gongyang Ruoyu, who looked uncomfortable, and burst out laughing.
This is the first time I've seen Gongyang with such an expression. He's usually so shrewd and smooth-talking, but he's really met his match with Wenren Qichi.
It seems like things will get really lively when the two of them are together! That's exactly how her backyard should be.
"My lady, don't worry about those two. Just wash up and have some food. The morning court session won't end for quite a while," Chen Jingshu said softly.
Pu An took out a handkerchief, wet it, and was about to hand it to Chen Jingshu when Su Yueyao reached out and took it, saying, "I can do it myself."
Chen Jingshu chuckled and teased, "Is my wife shy?"
"No, I'm just being self-reliant," Su Yueyao grumbled.
The four people in the carriage immediately covered their mouths and laughed.
“My lady, how could we let you fend for yourself in front of us! If Nanfeng were here, we would all be joining the Phoenix Feather Guard.” Gongyang Ruoyu said jokingly with a smile.
Su Yueyao glanced at the four of them, wiped her face, put the handkerchief on the low cabinet next to her, patted her chest and said boldly, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you. You won't be able to get into the Phoenix Feather Guard."
Seeing Su Yueyao's actions, especially the pure and innocent look in her eyes, solely focused on protecting them, the four smiled even more deeply.
Chen Jingshu couldn't help but laugh and ruffle Su Yueyao's hair: "Then we'll rely on our wife from now on and have her protect us."
"Leave it to me! No problem at all, no one can bully you."
"My wife is amazing." Gongyang Ruoyu gave Su Yueyao a thumbs up.
“My lady, we don’t need you to protect us now. Let’s have some food first. We’re almost at the palace gate.” Pu An smiled and took out the food box.
When Su Yueyao saw the food box that Pu An had opened, she was delighted to find her favorite steamed dishes inside and exclaimed, "My favorite steamed dishes are here!"
“My lady, this was specially prepared by the kitchen at the master’s request,” Chen Jingshu said with a smile.
"Qianqian is so kind; he must have had the kitchen prepare it before dawn," Su Yueyao said as she took a bite with her chopsticks.
She loves to eat fresh steamed vegetables early in the morning, as they have a fresh aroma. She used to have them for almost every breakfast. But one time, she accidentally learned that these fresh steamed vegetables were delivered to her by people from the estate before dawn.
She thought it was too much trouble, so she didn't want them to prepare it every day. She also liked the other dishes they prepared on weekdays, and it was too much trouble to eat just one thing she liked.
Because of Wenren Qichi's matter, I haven't had steamed dishes for quite some time now.
"My lady, I arranged for the people from the manor to deliver these dishes. Aren't I very good?" Gongyang Ruoyu immediately asked for credit.
"Even if Gongyang doesn't have vegetables delivered from the village, it's still great!" Su Yueyao teased Gongyang Ruoyu, who was eager to take credit.
When Gongyang Ruoyu heard Su Yueyao praise him, he smiled even more happily.
"Have you all eaten? I got up too early, I can't eat much, why don't you have something too?" Su Yueyao said, looking at the two other dishes.
"My lady, we've all eaten. You should eat more, otherwise you'll suffer if you're hungry at the morning court session," Chen Jingshu said, placing some other dishes on Su Yueyao's plate.
Su Yueyao sighed and said, "Then I'll eat more! I really don't want to go to court! It's so painful, having to stand for so long."
“If my wife really doesn’t want to go to court, why don’t you start trying to conceive in a few days? Once you’re pregnant, His Majesty can’t force you to attend court,” Pu An said.
"As for having a baby, I plan to wait a while longer. I've only just finished my postpartum confinement period! I want to rest for about ten days before considering it. Besides, I can only stop going to court after I'm confirmed to be pregnant, which means there's still a month to go!"
"Thinking about it this way! I'll have to attend court for more than a month! It's even more painful."
The others looked at Su Yueyao's furrowed brows and pained expression, and silently didn't know how to comfort her.
"Then the mistress should obediently attend court!" Pu An said ruthlessly.
Immediately, Su Yueyao's wailing sound rang out.
Chen Jingshu, Pu An, and Gongyang Ruoyu all had a hint of helplessness in their eyes. It was true that their wife was very talented, but she was really lazy!
Wenren Qichi watched their interaction silently, feeling a warmth in her heart. So this was how she usually interacted with the other men; they got along peacefully, without a trace of scheming.
Others were not at all reserved in her presence; they went along with her, offered her advice, and gave her suggestions.
This kind of relationship is not even possible with his father. Even though his mother liked his father, at times, his father always served him with respect.
How can things be so casual?
Su Yueyao looked at Wenren Qichi, who was sitting silently and not saying much, and asked, "Qichi, are you not saying anything? Is your wound hurting again?"
"Why don't you take leave and go back to recover from your injury?"
While Wenren Qichi was still lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard Su Yueyao's worried voice. He paused for a moment and immediately replied, "My lady, I'm fine. I've applied medicine to my wound, and it's much better now."
"That's good. I noticed you haven't been saying anything. There aren't many rules in our family. If you have something on your mind, just say it. Don't keep it inside. If you keep it inside for too long, you'll feel suffocated and uncomfortable."
“You’re not very familiar with Jing Shu and the others yet. You’ll see them often in the future, and you’ll get to know them better as you get to know them. If they bully you again, tell me, and I’ll talk to them.”
As soon as Su Yueyao finished speaking, Gongyang Ruoyu immediately spoke up: "My wife, you are being biased. You never said anything like this to me when I entered the family."
"With your personality and how good you are at handling things, who would bully you? You might even sell someone out and they'd still be counting the money for you!"
Gongyang Ruoyu snorted even more when Su Yueyao teased her: "My lady, I didn't. I'm very good to my other brothers. I would never do that."
Su Yueyao looked unconvinced. Gongyang Ruoyu was a real old fox; he might seem reasonable on the surface, but who knows how cunning he might be inside.
"My wife..."
