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

Chapter 1240 You really are Yuan Jin's biological brother!

When Lu Yuanyi heard Mo Rongjin mention Lu Yuanjin, he thought of his younger brother and said with a doting smile:

“Yuan Jin is just a child, he can be coaxed and he’ll be fine. Besides, the medicine shop doesn’t just cultivate one or two kinds of medicinal herbs. This time he brought a lot of precious medicinal herbs with him. These herbs are for my wife to use to improve her health. I’m worried about him not going.”

"Besides, he went willingly and happily when he found out it was for his wife. I didn't force him."

Upon hearing Lu Yuanyi's explanation, Mo Rongjin chuckled and said, "Yuanjin is so lucky to have such a good older brother as Lu Cejun."

"Hehe... He is indeed happy. If I hadn't had the foresight to choose the wife back then and dragged him to marry her as well, with his personality, he would have had a hard time living peacefully in the harems of other empresses. How could he have such a happy life now?"

Mo Rongjin looked at Lu Yuanyi, who was praising him with a face full of superiority, and his lips twitched slightly: "You really are Yuanjin's older brother!"

Lu Yuanyi smiled as if he hadn't caught the joke in Mo Rongjin's words, stood up and said, "I'll go in first. Wangchen and I will keep watch over Haoxuan. Thank you and Tianyi for keeping watch."

"It's alright. No one but a master can break this formation. Once Tianyi and the others have driven the wolves away, let them come in and rest for a while. We need to get back home as soon as possible tomorrow. We can't let our wife know that we spent the night in the mountains, or that Xun Cejun is injured."

"It seems Haoxuan's injury was only kept secret from his wife!"

"Just from the fact that we didn't rush back tonight, we knew he was seriously injured. Xun Cejun's lightness skill is so high, and he was supported by Cui Cejun the whole time after we left the mine, so we knew he was no ordinary person."

“But Lord Lu, if we keep this from my wife, I don’t know how she will punish us when she finds out later,” Mo Rongjin sighed.

"Treating us is a matter for later. For the sake of my wife's health, we can't let her suffer too much."

"Lu Cejun is right. I never thought that a woman would treat her husband so sincerely, or even to such an extent. I never even dared to imagine that she would get along with my wife's other husbands like family."

“None of my brothers in the Mo family have ever received such care from me.”

"Not only you don't have it, but we don't either. This only proves that it is our good fortune to be able to marry the mistress of the house."

After Lu Yuanyi finished speaking, he and Mo Rongjin looked at each other and smiled. They had found the only person they truly cared about and loved. They protected each other, simply to avoid hurting her.

Lu Yuanyi patted Mo Rongjin's shoulder lightly, then turned and went into the cave.

Mo Rongjin silently looked outside the cave. The wolves outside had been almost all killed by Tianyi and the others, so the commotion had subsided. He wondered if any other people would come tonight.

Meanwhile, Su Yueyao arrived at the foot of the mountain without any problems. The eldest prince carried Su Yueyao into the carriage, and Yang Qianxun, Pu An, and Gongyang Ruoyu followed them in. Pei Yuqi and Nanfeng drove the carriage.

Huan Yanxi and Tian Yunsheng followed the carriage, observing from the shadows.

Pei Yuqi, driving the carriage, said loudly to Yang Qianxun and the others inside, "My lord, the nearest village is not far ahead. It used to be a tenant farmer's village for the Pei family. It'll be safer if we go there. Shall we go there?"

"Okay, the rain is getting heavier now, be careful and get there as quickly as possible."

"it is good."

Inside the carriage, Su Yueyao was being carried by the eldest prince, who was holding her gently. Gongyang Ruoyu wrapped her in a thick blanket and said, "Is my wife cold? The charcoal fire in the carriage has gone out. I didn't expect it to be so cold."

Su Yueyao felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the blanket wrapped around her: "I'm not cold. I'm wearing two cloaks, so I'm not cold."

After Su Yueyao finished speaking, seeing their worried expressions about her health, she immediately changed the subject: "It's so dark, does Yuqi know where to go?"

It was pitch black outside; apart from a little moonlight filtering through, she couldn't see anything at all.

“My lady, besides Yuqi and Nanfeng, only Pu'an knows the situation better than us. It’s most suitable for the two of them to drive the carriage,” Gongyang Ruoyu explained.

Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao glanced at Pu An, who was sitting at the door.

Pu An understood and explained with a helpless expression, "My wife knows the villages around here, but I don't know a single family. We shouldn't let outsiders know where we are now."

It is true that he inspected many prefectures, but he had no money to associate with local powerful families, let alone the families who had just become villagers.

Yang Qianxun's lips twitched slightly upon hearing the implication in Pu An's words. Pu An was so poor, living on the monthly allowance given by A Yao, that he truly had no money for social obligations. So he explained:

“Ah Yao, Yuqi travels to many places on weekdays for business, and the Phoenix Feather Guards from Nanfeng also travel back and forth to investigate cases. They are the most knowledgeable about newly formed villages.”

"I see."

"What about Yunsheng and Yanxi?"

"They should follow the carriage silently, keeping an eye out for any dangers in the shadows," the eldest prince replied.

"Your division of labor is really clear."

The eldest prince smiled when he heard Su Yueyao's praise: "My wife, don't worry about anything, just wait for us to serve you."

The carriage traveled for about half an hour before stopping in front of a farmer's house. The family was well-off and had set aside a small courtyard for them to stay in, with clean bedding provided inside.

Yang Qianxun sat with Su Yueyao on a chair in the room. Gongyang Ruoyu tidied up the clothes Su Yueyao would wear later. The First Prince made the bed. Huan Yanxi and Pu An went to the kitchen to prepare hot water and food. Nanfeng and Tian Yunsheng were responsible for observing whether there were any suspicious people outside.

Pei Yuqi was talking to the homeowner in the main house.

"Don't worry, my lord. The villagers go to bed early and won't find you and the lady. Tomorrow I will erase any trace of your presence. You and the lady can rest easy for one night."

"That little courtyard is what I prepared for my daughter's wedding; everything inside is new," the man said respectfully.

Pei Yuqi nodded after listening and took out two silver ingots from her sleeve and handed them to him.

“Young master, we can’t accept this money. If you hadn’t saved my life back then, I would have died long ago. I’m just glad that I can help you and the lady this time.”

Pei Yuqi looked at the man who refused to accept the silver ingots, said nothing, and took them back.

"Thank you so much for tonight!"

"You're too kind, sir."

After washing up, Su Yueyao drank some soup and ate some food before going to sleep.

Apart from Yang Qianxun and the First Prince, who were resting with Su Yueyao, everyone else was quietly busy with other things.

The night was peaceful and uneventful, and nothing happened. When Su Yueyao woke up, she was already in the carriage.
