Chapter 338 And I Only Have You
The two men left the palace, got on a carriage and headed towards the Su Mansion.
"Does Queen Yiyang want to win me over?"
"Yes! Yueyao is very popular now."
"Don't tell me, I'm not. Before, the Queen was suppressed by the Xie and Yang families, and had almost no presence. Now she is very active. I think he chose the Lotus Appreciation Feast just for me."
"Then how will Yueyao respond? I think in a few days, the Queen will issue an imperial decree to send someone to your residence."
"Then I won't accept it. Your Majesty wants a book, right? I'm writing something. I want to make a deal with Your Majesty. You are not allowed to hire any more people for me in the future."
"If it doesn't work, do whatever you want! I won't accept it." Su Yueyao snorted coldly.
Now that she is pregnant, no one can force her to marry, not even the king or the queen.
"Yueyao, don't you consider placing them in a corner of the backyard? The status of the servants is low, and their dowry can be directly added to the public treasury. Yueyao will give them some monthly salary, and they cannot come to the main courtyard to find you without your permission." Cui Yiyang said.
"Then I don't want to do that either. I don't like the feeling of being forced, and I don't want to keep a man in my house."
"Then Yueyao, do whatever you want! I support you!"
"The decision to marry a husband is in the hands of women. As long as I don't want to, they can't do it. As long as His Majesty doesn't issue an order to grant the marriage, I can still resist. If His Majesty grants the marriage, after I give birth to this baby, I will resign from my official position and leave Fengdu directly." Su Yueyao thought for a while and said.
She was fed up with being exploited like this. The queen always wanted her to contribute, but in the end she didn't trust her and even took advantage of her beloved son. She didn't want to assist such a monarch at all.
She had previously held a thought in her mind that since she had traveled through time, she should pass on the knowledge she had learned so that the people here could live a better life, but now she felt that this idea was a joke.
What does the life and death of the people here have to do with her? That is His Majesty's responsibility. She just wants to live a good life with Yang Qianxun and them. She will have her children in the future, so it's enough for her to live a good life.
"Yueyao, if that day really comes, I will leave with you." Cui Yiyang said after thinking for a while.
"Yi Yang, I really don't want to put myself in a difficult position. The Queen is very suspicious now. She never trusted me from the beginning. She is actually more afraid that my power will grow and become the new Xie and Yang families, so the people she arranges marriages with are all from her faction."
"She probably thinks you won't betray her. After all, the Cui family and the Huan family have always supported the imperial power."
"So Yiyang, if that day really comes, for the sake of your Cui family, I can be with you and..."
"Yueyao, I will not give up on you. I just want to be with you. Even if the Cui family does not have me, they can adopt a new candidate from a side branch. They have multiple choices, but I only have you." Cui Yiyang interrupted.
Su Yueyao was stunned when she heard Cui Yiyang's words. She did not expect that Cui Yiyang would be willing to follow her from beginning to end. She felt that a person like Cui Yiyang should defend his country and protect the queen to the death.
"Yueyao, don't you believe me? I said I would never betray you in this life. I know your intentions. You agreed to the book matter with His Majesty because you wanted everyone in the world to be able to read and write. You didn't hide the good books like other noble families did, and only let your descendants learn them."
"You wrote the military book for us because you wanted Fengluan Country to not be bullied and to save the people from war."
"I haven't known Yueyao for long, but Yueyao is the softest and kindest person I have ever met in my life, so I am willing to follow you like this, just because of you, and it has nothing to do with your identity or background."
Su Yueyao felt a little embarrassed by Cui Yiyang's praise. She didn't seem to be that good! She was just afraid of trouble. Although the books she wrote did hope that everyone could read and write in the future, this idea was difficult to achieve.
"Yi Yang, I'm actually not that good. I'm very lazy and I'm being lazy most of the time. It's only after we got married that you think I'm good in every way." Su Yueyao said awkwardly.
"The Yueyao I see is just so good. Yueyao, there's no need to underestimate yourself." Cui Yiyang said with a smile.
"..."
It was Su Yueyao's turn to be at a loss for words. Could it be that Cui Yiyang was in love? .....
After the two arrived at the Su Mansion, Yang Qianxun had already prepared gifts for the Cui Mansion. Su Yueyao and Cui Yiyang got off the carriage and briefly told each other what happened in the palace, then got back on the carriage and headed to the Cui Mansion.
It was almost noon, so Su Yueyao asked Qingran to hurry up.
"Don't worry, just drive normally." Cui Yiyang said.
"How could Yiyang not arrive at the man's house by noon after returning home?" Su Yueyao said helplessly.
"I have sent someone to inform father in advance. Father knows that we are staying in the palace to attend the banquet today. The others are all branches of the Cui family. Yueyao doesn't need to worry."
"That's good, so they won't have to wait for us."
After the two arrived at Cui's house, they went directly to the reception room.
There were a whole room of people sitting inside.
Cui Yiyang took Su Yueyao's hand and walked into the house, first bowing to his father.
"Father."
"Father." Su Yueyao also followed suit and performed the salute as a junior.
Father Cui immediately turned sideways to avoid Su Yueyao's gift.
"No need to be so polite, just sit down first!" said Cui's father.
Cui Yiyang stood up and introduced to everyone: "This is my wife, the future Cui family mistress Su Yueyao."
"Yi Yang, you and Miss Su haven't given birth to a child yet. Isn't it too early to get married now?" said a middle-aged man.
"Uncle, your Majesty has already issued an edict that the child born to me and my wife will inherit the Cui family and will also have the same surname as the Cui family. So, are you questioning your Majesty's will?" Cui Yiyang counterattacked unceremoniously.
"The pregnancy rate among women is low nowadays. After Miss Su gives birth to this baby, there is no guarantee about what will happen in the future."
"Do you mean to curse me so that I won't be able to have children in the future?" Su Yueyao said.
"I didn't say that." The man immediately retorted.
"My second uncle's father has also agreed, and His Majesty has also issued an edict. Or do you want my mother's other children to inherit the Cui family?"
"Yi Yang, don't be angry. Your second uncle is just worried. There is no other meaning." said the middle-aged woman next to the man.
"Today is the first time Yueyao returns to the Cui family. She also holds an official position. She is worthy of being the mistress of the Cui family. If you are dissatisfied, go to his majesty." Cui's father said directly.
After that, no one dared to say anything more. Su Yueyao and Cui Yiyang offered a cup of tea to Cui's father. After Cui Yiyang introduced everyone in the room to her, everyone went to the dining hall.
After lunch, Cui's father and Cui Yiyang went to the study to talk, so Su Yueyao went to the yard where Cui Yiyang lived before.
