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

Chapter 1292 Should we respond or not?

After Cheng Yan finished speaking, Wenren Qichi chimed in, "I'll go down and continue with Xing Wu."

"There's no need to trouble Minister Wenren any further. We'll send two more people down. We will definitely repay your help this time," Xingchen said.

Su Yueyao then looked at Wenren Shilang and found that he was in a somewhat disheveled state, with his clothes even being torn and dirty. However, he still stood there with an upright posture and outstanding temperament, and the clothes did not affect his good looks.

Wenren Qichi felt Su Yueyao's gaze and said, "I am more familiar with the cliff face than you are, and it's getting late. It's not safe for Xingwu to be down there."

For a moment, no one spoke. Feng Qi, who was next to Su Yueyao, said, "Then we'll have to trouble Minister Wenren."

“Then let’s do it this way. Lord Xingce, I’ll take some men down this time. You all stay up here and guard the mistress,” Cheng Yan said.

"Young Master, you shouldn't go down either. If the young masters wake up and can't find you, they'll start making a fuss again."

"Chengyan, Yibai and I will go down with you," Xu Minghe said as he walked over.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan did not refuse. When the group reached the edge of the cliff, Tian Yunsheng gave them a few instructions, and then they all jumped off.

Su Yueyao watched their retreating figures, still feeling somewhat worried.

"Star, how high is this cliff? Was it particularly difficult for you to climb up here?"

"My wife is alright. There are vines on the mountainside. Grab the vines and slide down slowly. There's no danger. If we go down and come back up by ourselves, it will take up some of our internal energy. It will be a little slower if we bring someone with us."

After hearing Xingchen's explanation, Su Yueyao felt much more at ease, but she frowned as soon as she thought of Minister Wenren.

“Xingchen…that Vice Minister Wenren, he…”

Before Xingchen could speak, Fengqi spoke up: "My lady, his martial arts and internal strength must be very high, at least higher than my guards. When I was forced to jump off the cliff, Xingwu desperately protected me and was hit several times. When he couldn't hold on any longer, Wenren Shilang threw a vine and tied us up for two years, and we landed safely."

"He also helped bandage and treat Xingwu's injury. When I was being pulled up the mountain just now, he was quick and agile, and he was able to avoid protruding rock walls."

"He'll be alright," Feng Qi reassured Su Yueyao, trying not to worry her too much.

Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao's mouth gaped slightly, somewhat shocked by his martial arts skills and abilities. She exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't the Wenren family a family of civil officials? His martial arts are so high!"

“My lady, his martial arts and internal strength are indeed profound. The Wenren family has maintained neutrality and has never been our enemy. We did not investigate his family in depth. It seems we should investigate them thoroughly when we get back.”

"If that's the case, it seems that Minister Wenren also has some opportunities," the First Prince said.

"Fortunately, this person isn't going against us, otherwise dealing with him would be troublesome," Lin Zixu said with a smile.

“Zixu is right, that’s true.” The eldest prince nodded and said.

"..."

As Su Yueyao listened to them talking about Wenren Qichi, she didn't know what to say. Looking at Feng Qi's haggard appearance, she said softly, "Feng Qi, why don't you go and rest in the cave over there for a while?"

Everyone who was speaking looked at Su Yueyao, and Tian Yunsheng immediately said, "Little Qi, there are clean clothes prepared in the cave. Why don't you go and change?"

Feng Qi looked at her appearance and nodded in agreement: "Sister Yue, I'll go change my clothes first."

"Your Highness, shall we go to the cliff edge together and guard it?" Tian Yunsheng asked the eldest prince.

"it is good."

“I’ll arrange accommodation and meals at Xuanming Temple,” Huan Yanxi said.

"I sent a message to the lord that Brother Qi has been rescued and is fine. Tell them not to worry," Lin Zixu said.

In an instant, only Xingchen was left by Su Yueyao's side; everyone else had gone about their own business.

Su Yueyao watched them leave, then glanced at Xingchen standing beside her, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Xingchen and the others ran so fast, were they afraid I'd ask them anything?"

"It's probably not because we're afraid of what the wife will ask, but rather to give her time to think about what to say to Minister Wenren later."

Su Yueyao: "................"

"You can entertain him in a bit. He saved Feng Qi and helped so much. Whatever he wants, just give him whatever you can."

"My lady, you've agreed to everything you can. But what if he wants to marry you? Should we agree or not?"

"Of course not..." Su Yueyao paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course he wouldn't agree, he..."

"It seems that my wife still hasn't sensed Wenren Shilang's feelings for you, or perhaps she has sensed them but doesn't know how to respond to him?"

Su Yueyao sighed upon hearing Xingchen's words and sat down on a rock not far away.

"I don't think I have any romantic feelings for him. He's a good person, but if he comes to us and does us a favor, should I just marry him? Wouldn't that be too hasty?"

"If the wife has concerns, then don't marry him. Wait until you really like him, then you can consider whether or not to marry him."

“That’s what I really think. Take Feng Qi for example. I’ve always felt that he’s too young and not settled yet. He doesn’t know what he wants. I didn’t agree to let him marry me because I was leaving him some room to maneuver.”

"Xingchen has been through too much lately. I have a feeling that living in the moment means following your heart. If you like something, you like it; if you don't like something, you don't like it. In this moment, in this situation, you should leave no regrets."

“Before, I always ran away from things, but now I don’t want to run away anymore. So I’ve developed feelings for Feng Qi, and I’ll marry him. That way, if something happens, he won’t have any regrets, and I won’t feel guilty.”

"So, regarding Minister Wenren, we haven't spent much time together and I'm not familiar with him. It's too early to ask whether he will marry me."

After listening to Su Yueyao's words, Xingchen smiled and said, "Given my wife's personality, it's quite normal for her to say that."

"What do you mean by 'according to my nature'? That's normal. But if it's not according to my nature, then it's abnormal for me to say that."

“My lady…when will you be able to be as willful and unrestrained as the women here, and if you think this or that young master is handsome, just kidnap him?” Xingchen said with a smile.

Su Yueyao's lips twitched a few times after hearing Xingchen's teasing words. She probably couldn't bring herself to forcibly take a man from a commoner; it would be incredibly embarrassing and make her even more of a scumbag.

She doesn't want to become such a scumbag.
