Chapter 1418 Is it appropriate to use the wife to scare people like this?
"Prefect He, first have the blockade of the prefecture lifted. As for how to handle matters concerning the imperial court, you can discuss it with Inspector Pu and the others. I will send someone to liaise with your people regarding the shop cooperation."
When the prefect of He heard that it had been successful, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became extremely happy.
Looking at the smiling Prefect He, Pei Yuqi subconsciously asked, "Prefect He, I'm a little curious, are you in charge of the affairs of this entire prefecture?"
"I didn't expect that Young Master Pei could see that Rui'er is in charge of most of the affairs in the prefecture, the one who was just now."
"He also manages the He family's businesses."
Pei Yuqi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and continued to ask, "If the He family were to send someone to the Su family, would they choose him?"
"This...no, no, Rui'er is in charge of all the affairs of Hezhou Prefecture, big and small, and we can't do without him."
Pei Yuqi was speechless upon hearing this. She could tell from the man's simple conversation that he was no ordinary person.
It seems we won't be able to leave Hezhou Prefecture anytime soon.
“Young Master Pei, I will immediately arrange for the yamen runners to open the city gates and remove the patrolmen. Tomorrow I will personally go to welcome Inspector Pu and his men.”
Pei Yuqi nodded in agreement and then left with Cheng Rong.
After leaving the He Mansion, Pei Yuqi whispered to Cheng Rong, "Go and tell Pu Langjun and the others what just happened, and tell them to prepare for negotiations tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements when we get back to the store."
After that, Pu An and his group stayed in Hezhou Prefecture for ten days before they finally reached an agreement.
However, after what happened in Hezhou Prefecture, all the other prefectures that went down to her wanted to send Su Yueyao a husband or arrange a marriage for the next generation, but she refused them all with her firm stance.
After switching to a shop partnership, Pei Yuqi took advantage of this opportunity to set up numerous outposts, both openly and secretly.

Meanwhile, Su Yueyao, who was far away in Fengdu, slept for more than a month before recovering. As for Yang Qianxun and the others, apart from Wenren Qichi, who was still nauseous intermittently, everyone else had recovered.
Yang Qianxun, Huan Yanxi, and the others looked visibly haggard and thin. None of them returned to their own courtyards; they were all quietly recuperating.
When Su Yueyao is three months old, they will probably want to cling to her even more, as they don't want her to see them like this.
The three of them—the physician, Lu Yuanyi, and the physician—select suitable nourishing formulas for each of them every day to treat their conditions.
"My lord, we've been nourishing ourselves for a few days, and you finally look less haggard," Huan Yanxi said with a sigh of relief.
“Yuanyi said today that in ten days at most, Ayao will be three months pregnant, and we’re afraid we’ll all want to be glued to her by then.”
"We need to take good care of ourselves for the next ten days, otherwise we'll be afraid that A-Yao will feel sorry for us if we see her like this."
“Ah Yao has said more than once that we’ve been infected this time.”
"My lord, Wenren is still vomiting. I imagine the wife must be worried, right?" Gongyang Ruoyu pointed to Wenren Qichi, who was intermittently covering his mouth and dry heaving on a recliner not far away.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's almost 100% certain that Wenren Qichi had multiple pregnancies. We don't even know if it will be more than two children. It's normal for the discomfort to last a long time."
“Jing Shu wasn’t like that back then. Everyone else had one child, but he had twins, so he suffered for a much longer time.”
"If that's what you say, my lord, I don't know whether to congratulate Wenren on having one more child than us or to pity him for having one more child and suffering for even longer," Cheng Yan said with a smile to Wenren Qichi.
Hearing this, Wenren Qichi covered his mouth and gagged twice: "I don't want two children, this discomfort is unbearable."
"You're still picky about having children for your wife? Before you even entered the family, how eager you were to have children! Don't forget, you already had a second and third child," Huan Yanxi snorted.
Upon hearing this, Wenren Qichi immediately broke down, violently retching: "Ugh... ugh... ugh..."
Seeing his master like this, Wumian gently patted his back: "Master, calm down, don't think too much, let's get through this first."
Gongyang Ruoyu looked at Wumian's actions and said with a smile, "Wumian has been much more well-behaved lately. Chengyao is obedient and doesn't argue with him anymore."
"That has taken away a lot of our fun."
"Cheng Yan, how did you manage to deal with Cheng Yao, making him so obedient?"
"I didn't punish him much. Lord Chen punished him before, causing him some minor injuries. I went to see him specifically and only said one sentence, and he became well-behaved."
"What did you say?" Now it wasn't just Gongyang Ruoyu who was curious; even Yang Qianxun and Huan Yanxi looked at him with curiosity.
“I told you, if he interferes in the affairs of my wife’s backyard behind the scenes, I will ask my wife to take him away and let him experience the joy of having children!”
As soon as Cheng Yan finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent. Even Wenren Qichi, who was gagging, looked at Cheng Yan in surprise. Was it appropriate to use his wife to scare people like this?
Cheng Yan ignored their expressions and continued to laugh, saying, "When Cheng Yao heard this, it was as if the sky had fallen. He was so scared that he trembled and knelt down, saying that he would behave himself from now on and would not do anything out of line again."
"Never let him marry the wife; he doesn't want to get married, especially not to the wife."
Yang Qianxun and the others fell silent again after hearing this. Why did these words sound so unpleasant? It was obvious that Cheng Yao was disgusted with his wife!
So many men want to marry her, why is he so afraid?
These conditions are quite alarming!
Cheng Yao, who had been keeping a low profile, was furious to hear Cheng Yan betray him like this. Just as he was about to argue, he saw the strange expressions on Yang Qianxun and the others' faces, and a chill ran down his spine. He immediately slid to his knees.
"My lord, it's not...it's not that I don't want to marry the Queen, it's just that seeing your reactions to the Queen giving birth has terrified me."
"Oh? You want to marry the wife if she doesn't give you children?"
"No...I didn't. I've never intended to get married, no matter who it is, really, I swear! I have no feelings for Ms. Su..."
"What are you doing? What bad thing have you done this time, medicine? You're even swearing an oath." Su Yueyao asked with a smile as she entered through the archway at the entrance of the courtyard.
The moment Yang Qianxun and the others heard Su Yueyao's voice, they all disappeared back to their rooms, so fast that Su Yueyao barely even saw them.
"Qianqian, Yanxi, Gongyang, Gongyang, you don't want to see me!"
