Chapter 414: The End of Schadenfreude

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month again.

The prince has been on the throne for several months. Everyone thought that the new emperor was a gentle and benevolent king who would rest and recuperate, and value peace. Unexpectedly, the new emperor issued several decrees after ascending the throne, emphasizing agriculture, commerce, and military defense. This three-pronged approach was quite surprising. Only those who accompanied the prince during the coup that day might understand it. There is a saying that if a country wants to be rich, it must focus on agriculture and commerce, and if a country wants to be strong, it must focus on military defense. The prince's goal is to make the country rich and the people strong.

Let’s not talk about national affairs for now. At this moment, Ye Jiayao, the second young lady of Jing’an Marquis’s Mansion, is quite troubled. Why?
This is because the 18th day of the first lunar month is the wedding day of Helian Xuan and Naya, and her due date has arrived and she may give birth at any time.

She had been looking forward to the birth of her baby, but now she hoped that the baby would stay for a few more days, at least after she had the wedding wine! She couldn't miss this wedding!
Nayake said that she was her only good friend in Jinling, and she would be very disappointed if she couldn't attend.

Oh my god, why did you choose such a good day? It was not something she could control. Besides, if she happened to give birth on the 18th, Chun Yu would definitely not attend the wedding. Ye Jiayao was really depressed.

"Chun Yu, I feel like my belly seems to have sagged a little more today." Ye Jiayao said worriedly while standing in front of the mirror and looking at her big belly.

"Really? Let me see." Someone immediately ran over, circled her three times, then touched her belly and nodded, "It seems so!"

"What should I do? The midwife said that my belly is sagging, which means I'm almost due, but today is only the 15th, and there are still three days left! I don't know if I can make it through this."

Xia Chunyu supported her and walked slowly in the room. The midwife said that if pregnant women walked more, the childbirth would be easier. So, every day he would accompany her to walk a few laps in the room. It was too cold outside, so he dared not let her go out.

"This...is not something we can decide. It depends on our son. At worst, he can just not go and give more gift money. If you want to blame someone, blame them themselves. They are so good at choosing the date. If they dare to have any objections, they can discuss it with our son themselves." Xia Chunyu disagreed. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as his son!
Ye Jiayao looked at him speechlessly. "Discussing with your son, can your son understand?"
That's right, according to Dr. Jiang's diagnosis, Ye Jiayao was determined to be pregnant with a boy. Ye Jiayao still had a little doubt about the pulse-taking skills of traditional Chinese medicine. She remembered that in her previous life, when her aunt was pregnant, they listened to the fetal heart rate and said it was a boy, but in the end it turned out to be a girl. Only by doing a B-ultrasound, it would be clear at a glance. But Dr. Jiang's words were so confident that she even used her reputation as a doctor for more than 20 years as a guarantee. Ye Jiayao just assumed that she was pregnant with a boy!

"I don't know if Xiao Jing can come back in time." Ye Jiayao was speechless about Helian Jing. He didn't even want to come back after staying in South Vietnam. Did he want to marry into the family?
A smile flashed in Xia Chunyu's eyes. Xiao Jing would definitely come back, maybe with a surprise.

Since it's a surprise, I'll have to keep it a secret for now.

"Well, that guy is very unreasonable. People say that he values ​​women over friends, but he even ignored his own brother." Xia Chunyu said indignantly.

Although Ye Jiayao thought so in her heart, she couldn't help but defend Xiao Jing: "Xiao Jing is not as bad as you said. After all, the journey to South Vietnam is long, maybe he was delayed on the way."

"Oh, it's a pity that Lao Zhao and Su Yi can't come back, otherwise we can get together again." Ye Jiayao sighed.

Helian Xuan was overjoyed. If Zhao Qixuan, a lively guy, was there, it would definitely add a lot of color to the life. Well, he really missed them.

At this time, the three people sitting in the private room of the Hangzhou Tianshangju branch sneezed at the same time. Zhao Qixuan and Helian Jing sneezed, and the always elegant male god Su Yi also sneezed earth-shatteringly, and the powerful momentum directly knocked Zhao Qixuan and Helian Jing to the ground.

The two men were still in shock, well, or should I say three people, and there was a pretty woman sitting next to them.

The three of them looked at Su Yi in horror.

What Helian Jing was thinking was: Oh my god, this guy is so handsome that even his sneeze is louder than others.

What Zhao Qixuan was thinking was: What is telepathy? This is telepathy, even sneezing is so tacit, and it's so powerful, so cool. But, you, Xiao Jing, are also playing tacit understanding with us and forcibly intervening? You already have a beauty by your side, okay? It really spoils the scenery.

Ah Ruan was thinking: What happened to these three people? They had never had any tacit understanding along the way, but now they were in harmony.

Su Yi felt a little embarrassed by their stares, not to mention the presence of a beautiful woman, but he pretended to be indifferent, glanced at the three people indifferently, and said indifferently: "Why are you looking at me? Don't worry about being full, eat, and then hurry on your way after eating."

Zhao Qixuan smiled shyly, looked at him lovingly, and said in a flattering way: "Beauty is a feast for the eyes, beauty is a feast for the eyes."

Su Yi glared at him and took away the bowl and chopsticks in front of him: "In that case, you don't have to eat anymore in the future. You can just watch me while I eat. It can also save some food."

Zhao Qixuan said awkwardly, reaching out to grab the bowl and chopsticks: "Um... I mean, looking at you, you can eat a few more bowls of rice."

"Then you take your bowl of rice and squat in the corner to eat. You only earn that little money, and you still want to eat a few more bowls of rice. I can't afford to support you." Su Yi said leisurely.

Zhao Qixuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He complained to Xiao Jing: "You see, he always bullies me like this. It's so unfair. I'm on a pirate ship with a vampire. My life is so dark..." Helian Jing and A Ruan couldn't help laughing. Helian Jing gloated: "It's a pirate ship, and you begged to get on it. It's not enough to stop you from getting on it, and you even used the trick of torturing yourself. Humph, you deserve it."

Su Yi asked casually: "What's the self-torture trick?"

"Oh, he wants to become a monk. This guy doesn't really want to become a monk. He's been hiding in the temple waiting for you to come. Let me tell you..." Helian Jing was gloating too much and threw someone's warning behind his mind and blurted out everything in one go.

Zhao Qixuan winked at him desperately, "You can't sabotage like this, this is going to cost me my life! I finally managed to move this hard-hearted guy, what the hell is this... Zhao Qixuan really wanted to cry."

Su Yi listened quietly, then looked at Zhao Qixuan calmly: "Is that so?"

Zhao Qixuan's smile was uglier than crying: "You... don't listen to his nonsense. I really wanted to become a monk at that time."

Su Yi looked at Xiao Jing again and asked calmly, "Was this your idea?"

Helian Jing laughed and said, "How could I have that ability? It's Yaoyao..."

Uh... someone finally realized that he had betrayed Yaoyao. He looked at a handsome man with a calm face with a guilty conscience and thought to himself: It's over, it's over.

Helian Jing wanted to slap himself in the face. It would be fine if he just admitted it, but why did he have to give Yaoyao away!
Zhao Qixuan banged his head on the table, completely speechless.

Su Yi said nonchalantly: "I don't think you have that kind of brain."

After that, he smiled at A Ruan and said, "Princess A Ruan."

Ah Ruan was enjoying the story when Su Yi suddenly called her. She responded subconsciously, "Yeah!"

She immediately realized that everyone along the way had been calling her Princess Aqin, even Xiaojing called her that, so how did Su Yi know she was Aruan?
Then Su Yi tilted his mouth and looked at Helian Jing with a sly smile: "Should I ask for some fee?"

Helian Jing's mouth twitched again and again. Damn it, retribution came too quickly! This guy usually kept silent, aloof and elegant, but it turned out that he had such a dark heart. What kind of fee is that? It's hush money. This is clearly blackmail!
"Well, Brother Su Yi, brother, it's all in the past, don't worry about it. Look at what you and Lao Zhao are doing now, your love is deep and sincere, like free and easy clouds and wild cranes, the envy of others. Lao Zhao is sincere, and the heaven and earth can bear witness to it. As friends, it's only right for us to help him, don't you think?" Helian Jing said in a flattering manner.

Zhao Qixuan looked at Su Yi hesitantly and nodded repeatedly, thinking silently in his heart, yes, yes, this is absolutely true, the heaven and earth can bear witness to it!
Su Yi nodded: "Well, I really want to thank you, so, I am also going to do you a favor. I will temporarily keep the annual revenue of your dozen shops. Do you have any objection?"

Helian Jing's eyes almost popped out. Oh my god, I was just following behind to watch the fun, but he is going to swallow up my annual revenue. It's too cruel. What Lao Zhao said is right, this guy is an out-and-out vampire.

"I'm wondering, should I also keep Ye Jinxuan's share of the profit for her?" Su Yi took a breath and looked thoughtful.

"No, no, this is all my fault. You can just blackmail me, but don't hurt innocent people." Helian Jing was completely convinced and said unhappily that if Yaoyao knew that he sold her, it would be even worse. He would rather offend Su Yi than Yaoyao.

Yaoyao's words echoed in my ears. This matter must be kept to myself, otherwise, I would die without knowing how.

Now he finally understood the feeling of "not knowing how he died".

Su Yi sneered: "Let's eat."

Ah Ruan looked at this and that in confusion. What was going on? Why did Xiao Jing look like he was being cut? Didn't Xiao Jing say that Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan were helping him manage the business in the Border Trade City? Then just let them manage it. What's the problem?

Seeing that Su Yi didn't come to settle the score with him, Zhao Qixuan was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, and continue on your journey after you're full. Damn, the food in Tianshangju is so delicious..."

Someone was happy too early, and when he was on his way, he was kicked out of the carriage. So he had to ride a horse in the cold wind, looking at the two carriages swaying in front of him with resentment.
