Chapter 1342 They don't want to get involved either!
After Baili Jihua finished speaking, he looked at Chengyan and asked curiously, "Chengyan, since the lord is going to the Wenren Mansion, he will definitely entrust things to Xingchen. Why will he let you leave? Why won't he let you help?"
"Of course Lord Xing doesn't want me to leave. I ran fast, didn't he arrange for me to serve the mistress today and Lord Huan tomorrow?"
“I had a feeling that something was wrong, and I thought it was inappropriate to cut in line. I was thinking of having Consort Baili serve my wife in order tonight.”
"But I really don't want to go back to the courtyard to see that pile of boxes, and I don't want to help sort those things. So please let me serve you first, okay?" Cheng Yan asked with a smile, her tone pleading.
He didn't want to see that pile of boxes; serving his wife was the best choice.
Seeing Cheng Yan's expression, Baili Jihua didn't think much of it and nodded with a smile: "Sure! If my wife has no objections, I'm fine with anything."
"Thank you very much, Lord Baili. If you ever need my help, just let me know." Cheng Yan said gratefully to him and then walked happily to Su Yueyao's side.
"My lady...how about I serve you tonight? I don't want to go back to the courtyard!"
Su Yueyao smiled and patted Cheng Yan's head, teasingly saying, "You're serving me because you don't want to go back and help Xingchen deal with those boxes? I thought you missed me because you haven't been with me for a long time!"
“No, no, it’s because I miss you that I want to serve you, not because of those boxes.”
"My lady...please!" Cheng Yan's tone was slightly coquettish.
"Okay, okay, you two can agree on this yourselves, but if Xingchen comes looking for you tonight, I won't be able to stop her," Su Yueyao said with a shrug.
"My lady, why don't we go back to our room now? When Xingchen comes over in a bit, she'll see us... well... she definitely won't disturb us."
Before Su Yueyao could finish her refusal, Cheng Yan had already carried her away.
"Lord Baili, my wife and I will go back to our room first. You should also leave the manor quickly, or Lord Xinglang might come looking for you." As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Yan and Su Yueyao had already disappeared.
Baili Jihua sighed as he watched the disappearing figure. Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into Xingchen and paused.
"Baili, weren't you supposed to be with the wife today? Wasn't Chengyan too embarrassed to cut in line and be with the wife? Where is she? I came here specifically to catch her." Xingchen looked around the courtyard and said.
He had originally planned to watch the servants register the dowry, but he hadn't expected that the dowry was so valuable, with so many different kinds of fabric that the servants couldn't tell them apart, and he was simply too busy to handle it.
"Xingchen, just how many boxes are in Young Master Wenren's dowry? Chengyan was so scared when she came over that she begged me to give him the chance to serve the mistress today. I saw that he rarely asked, so I agreed."
"Cheng Yan went to serve his wife?"
"Yeah, I just carried my wife away, as fast as lightning," Baili Jihua said irritably.
"In that case, why don't you come with me and help me check those boxes? Some of the servants can't tell them apart."
“We just need to match the items on this list with the boxes. We can put the rest in the warehouse and he can decide how to arrange them after he marries into the family.”
Baili Jihua frowned. He should have run away immediately, no, he should have refused to give the wife to Cheng Yan.
Well, in the end, he became the one who helped.
"Let's go!" Xingchen ignored Baili Jihua's furrowed brows and pulled him toward his courtyard.
Having one more helper means he'll be less involved. Why is Wenren Qichi making so much dowry?
Baili Jihua resignedly followed Xingchen.
Su Yueyao, who was carried back to the room by Cheng Yan, was tackled by Cheng Yan before she could say a word.
Su Yueyao dodged Cheng Yan's kiss and said in a slightly breathless voice.
"Smoke...it's broad daylight, can't we wait until night?"
"Oh no! We have to wait until tonight. It'll be troublesome if Xingcejun comes looking for us soon." Cheng Yan grabbed Su Yueyao's hand and held it above her head, refusing.
"Besides, my wife, we haven't been together for so long. I miss you so much, so very much. Don't you miss me, my wife?" Cheng Yan whispered seductively in Su Yueyao's ear.
Then he even pulled Su Yueyao's hand and placed it on his abs, speaking in a slightly provocative tone.
"My wife, feel my muscles, don't they look firmer?"
Su Yueyao felt the warmth emanating from her skin, her fingers twitched slightly, and she subconsciously squeezed it. The feel of it...
"Wife-sama... okay?"
Su Yueyao was completely captivated by Cheng Yan's muscles and nodded.
Cheng Yan's muscular physique felt the best among them, and she would always stare at it and touch it for a long time.
Cheng Yan chuckled softly, lowered her head, and kissed him directly...
after....
The temperature inside the room rose higher and higher... and things progressed naturally between the two. Su Yueyao no longer had the energy to care whether it was day or night.
As evening fell, some of the young men who had returned home, having heard the news, came to the Starry Courtyard out of curiosity. When they saw the boxes, they were speechless.
Their dowries were also substantial. Most of the money was converted into banknotes, and they placed the furniture and other items in their house in the capital, handing over the land deeds to their lord.
Unexpectedly, Wenren Qichi brought all of his belongings.
Xingchen and Baili Jihua, who had been pulled over, spent the entire afternoon checking only a small part of it. Baili Jihua felt endless regret. Why was he so easygoing and gave up his day of serving his wife to Chengyan?
His head was spinning...
There was simply too much to watch, and when they saw other people arrive, it was like seeing a savior.
"Minghe... Zixu... Gongyang... Puan... Jingshu... come and help!"
Those who were named and those who weren't both quietly backed down; they didn't want to get involved either!
"Jihua, aren't you serving your wife today? Why are you helping Xingchen here?" Pei Yuqi asked with a smile.
"It was Cheng Yan all along. He ran to my wife's courtyard, begging me to give her the day to him, and then carried her straight back to her room. I'm so regretful now..."
"Cheng Yan didn't want to help, so he tricked me. How could I be so miserable! I gave him all the good things to do, serving the mistress, and this is how he treats me!" Baili Jihua said, howling like a wolf.
Everyone else pursed their lips, looking like they wanted to laugh.
Chen Jingshu was the only one who didn't laugh; his gaze towards Baili Jihua carried a hint of "you've dodged a bullet."
