Chapter 207: Fighting for Favor
Chapter 207: Fighting for Favor
At night, the candlelight flickered, Su Yue sat by the bed, gently applying medicine to the scar on Lin Yuxuan's body.
Lin Yuxuan received a letter from the Lin family and Lin Shihan today, as well as some local specialties sent from home.
At this moment, he was looking at the letter with joy, a happy smile on his face.
Su Yue looked at the heartwarming scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Among her many husbands, Lin Yuxuan is the only one who is so loved by his original family.
Because of this, when he was wronged, he would cry without hesitation and confide in her.
Unlike other husbands, they seldom complained about their grievances in front of her.
Su Yue brought some hot water, wrung out the towel, and gently wiped Lin Yuxuan's face: "Ah Xuan, have you ever been bullied by other brothers before?"
Lin Yuxuan nodded, looked away from the letter, and recalled the past: "Yes, but my sister will protect me.
My father was very much favored by my mother, so they didn't dare to bully me openly, but only dared to trip me up behind my back.
Su Yue frowned slightly when she heard this, with doubt and confusion in her eyes: "Ayu, you said that women are more noble than men, this cannot be changed.
Then why do some women take pleasure in torturing men?
My husband and my son are the closest people to me, so why should I bother with them?"
Lin Yuxuan was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Yuer, the hearts of people in this world are inherently complicated.
Some people gradually lost their original intentions under the rules of hierarchy.
Build your happiness on the suffering of others.
Maybe it's because they are under pressure from the outside world, or maybe it's just their nature.
They think men are inferior and should be tortured, so as to demonstrate their authority."
Su Yue sighed softly: "It's really hard to understand. If someone doesn't even cherish his own family, how can such a person have any real happiness?"
Lin Yuxuan held Su Yue's hand: "Yuer, fortunately I met you. I have never felt such pain with you."
Su Yuehui held his hand, her eyes firm: "I will always protect you and won't let you suffer any injustice."
The room fell silent, with only the two people's clasped hands conveying warmth and comfort to each other.
After the two lay down, Su Yue hugged Lin Yuxuan tightly
Lin Yuxuan nestled in Su Yue's arms. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked straight at Su Yue with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in his eyes: "Yuer, have you ever thought about how many husbands you want to marry?"
Hearing this, Su Yue shook her head gently, and said firmly: "Having you now is enough for me, I have never thought about marrying again."
When Lin Yuxuan heard this, his face was full of surprise, his eyes lit up, and he asked again: "Really?"
Su Yue nodded heavily and said gently: "We don't need so much. We are good enough now."
After hearing this, Lin Yuxuan nodded and said, "If you meet someone you like, you can marry her, but she must be good.
I really like our home, I am afraid that someone will suddenly come and destroy our home
And I'm also afraid that if you marry too many men, you won't be able to see us anymore."
Su Yue was moved when she heard his words. She kissed Lin Yuxuan on the forehead and said, "Don't worry, Xuan, I won't. I will protect you well."
We will guard our home and never let anyone destroy this beauty and peace."
Lin Yuxuan smiled with relief and found a more comfortable position in Su Yue's arms
The two of them slept in each other's arms. In the quiet night, only their steady breathing could be heard, which was warm and beautiful.
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, sunlight streamed into the house through the window lattice.
Su Yue had just stood up when a servant came to report that Bai Jingwen had sent someone to deliver a letter.
She said she had tried making a batch of lip balm and soap and asked Su Yue to come over and take a look.
Su Yue took the letter and couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect Bai Jingwen to act so quickly.
She turned to look at her husbands and told them the whole story in detail.
After listening to this, Shen Yunyan said considerately, "Yuer, take Brother Aze and Brother Ayan with you.
After all, we will be separated in two days, and they won't be able to see you for a long time, so give them this opportunity to spend time together."
Mu Feng also smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Yue'er, you go with them."
The Shangguan brothers also agreed: "We will wait for you to come back at the mansion."
Su Yue was touched and warmed by their understanding.
Su Yue took Liang Junze and Gu Qingyan to Bai Mansion. As soon as they entered the mansion, Bai Jingwen greeted them warmly.
Afterwards, Bai Jingwen asked her husband to take Liang Junze and Gu Qingyan to the backyard to entertain them.
Su Yue looked at their departing backs, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Jingwen nudged Su Yue with her arm and said, "Put it down, Yueyue. No one will bully your husband here."
After hearing this, Su Yue smiled embarrassedly: "I'm always afraid that they will be wronged."
Bai Jingwen blinked, her face full of envy: "You really love your husband, but your husband is so handsome, how did you trick him into getting one?"
When Su Yue heard this, she immediately became complacent and raised her chin: "My husbands are all picked from thousands of miles away, and each one is stunning.
That’s my charm, they follow me of their own accord.”
Bai Jingwen looked at her smug expression and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look at how capable you are. I really envy you."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked into the house together.
Su Yue looked at the lip balm and soap carefully, evaluating them in her mind.
Although it cannot be compared with modern exquisite products, it is already quite good considering the conditions in ancient times.
After finishing the serious business, Bai Jingwen couldn't wait to pull Su Yue aside to gossip.
She looked curious: "Yueyue, how many husbands have you married now?"
Su Yue lowered her head slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "7."
Bai Jingwen couldn't help but raise her voice when she heard this: "Only seven?"
Su Yue blinked and asked, "Only? How many do you have?"
Bai Jingwen puffed out her chest proudly and said proudly, "28!"
Su Yue was completely dumbfounded. She exclaimed with wide eyes, "So many! How old are you? You've already married 28?"
Bai Jingwen raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? My family is powerful, so marrying a few more husbands is nothing."
Su Yue frowned and said, "But with so many husbands, can you take care of them all?"
Bai Jingwen said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I have my own way."
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, finding it hard to agree with her actions.
Su Yue then asked Bai Jingwen: "Are all these 28 husbands the ones you like?"
Bai Jingwen shook her head and sighed: "Some are sent by the family to strengthen the relationship.
Some of them are posted here because they see that our Bai family is well off.
There are also some that I really want to marry.”
Su Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously: "With so many people together, will they quarrel?"
Bai Jingwen waved her hand nonchalantly, "Of course they wouldn't dare to do that in front of me, but they'll definitely be fighting overtly and covertly for my favor behind the scenes."
