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

Chapter 1243 What are you hiding from me?

At this moment, a guard came over and said, "Sir, Grand Tutor Su's carriage is outside, presumably waiting to take Young Master Xu back."

"Oh? Coming here at this hour, it seems you went straight into the city without even returning to your residence, and came to wait here. How could I, such a good person, bear to see Lady Su waiting outside in the cold!"

"I'll go and invite her in myself right away, so we can wait together for the imperial decree to be issued!" Minister Wenren smiled and turned to leave.

Xu Minghe immediately understood his meaning and grabbed the railing, shouting, "Minister Wenren, you are not allowed to invite my wife in! You are not allowed! Do you hear me? You..."

"Minister Wenren, you're despicable...you're shameless! You dare to invite me out? I'll make you pay once I get out of here..."

The guard looked at Xu Minghe, who was so angry with his master that he was about to dismantle the fence: "Young Master Xu, my master knows what he's doing. Please be gentle. If the fence collapses, people will misunderstand that you are trying to escape from prison."

Upon hearing this, Xu Minghe kicked the fence again in anger. Once he got out, he... he would definitely... definitely put a sack over his head and beat him up.

At the main gate of the Ministry of Justice, Su Yueyao's carriage had just stopped when Vice Minister Wenren appeared in front of it.

"This humble official greets Grand Tutor Su. Grand Tutor Su, this humble official will wait for the imperial decree to be issued before releasing Young Master Xu. There is still some time before the end of the court session. This humble official also has something to discuss with Grand Tutor Su. Please come in."

Upon hearing Wenren Shilang's words, Su Yueyao rolled down the car window: "What does Wenren Shilang want to discuss with me?"

"Of course it's about Young Master Xu."

"bright...."

“My lady, the imperial decree will be sent directly to the Ministry of Justice prison in a moment. Vice Minister Wenren has nothing to discuss with you,” the First Prince said directly.

"Grand Tutor Su, even if Young Master Xu and the Xu family were not involved in this matter, they will still..."

“Minister Wenren, there are some things you don’t need to say. Ayao, let’s wait in the carriage for a while. You’ll see Minghe soon,” Yang Qianxun interrupted.

Su Yueyao, who hadn't thought much about it, suddenly paused and looked at Yang Qianxun and the First Prince.

"Qianqian, Your Highness, what are you hiding from me? Why won't you let Vice Minister Wenren tell me?"

"My lady, the lord only didn't want you to worry too much about the affairs below, which is why he didn't let Minister Wenren say anything more," Tian Wangchen comforted her.

“Yes! My lady, let’s wait here a little longer,” Pei Yuqi added.

Su Yueyao turned her head and glanced at them a few times, finding their behavior very strange.

"You must be hiding something from me. Tell me the truth, or I'll get angry!"

The five people exchanged glances, none of them wanting to say anything.

Meanwhile, Wenren Shilang continued, “Grand Tutor Su, the gentlemen didn’t want you to worry, so they deliberately concealed the truth. Even if the counterfeit money wasn’t made by Young Master Xu, he is still guilty of negligence in supervision and should be punished according to the law.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao panicked and rolled up the car window to look at Minister Wenren standing below.

"Minister Wenren, is what you said true?"

"If Grand Tutor Su doesn't believe me, he can ask the Crown Prince or any of the other young men whether I'm lying or not."

Su Yueyao turned to look at the eldest prince and the others, her tone somewhat harsh: "Is it true? Is what Minister Wenren said true?"

Finally, Yang Qianxun nodded.

“Ah Yao, it’s true. A caning is the lightest punishment. Minghe will only suffer some minor injuries. This incident was caused by his carelessness. He should be punished both publicly and privately!” Yang Qianxun sighed and said.

Su Yueyao's complexion, which had just regained some color, turned completely pale in an instant.

"Grand Tutor Su, would you like to come to the Ministry of Justice with me?"

Su Yueyao glanced at him, and she almost knew what was going on. If she was going to get a beating, the person who would carry out the execution would be very important, since the Ministry of Justice's personnel were all from the Wen family.

Letting her in now is to let her choose what to do next!

The thought of Minghe being beaten to a bloody pulp made Su Yueyao's heart ache.

“The Vice Minister Wenren warmly invited me and even specially invited me to come in and rest. How could I refuse?”

"Ayao."

"Master wife."

The five people in the carriage immediately shouted.

"You wait for Minghe and me in the carriage. I'm going to the Ministry of Justice to warm up; it's getting a bit cold in the carriage!" Su Yueyao said, bending down to get off the carriage.

Looking at Su Yueyao's determined expression, Yang Qianxun sighed, "Ayao, no matter what, don't wrong yourself. Minghe will be alright!"

"I know what you've been hiding from me. I'll deal with you when I get back!" Su Yueyao snorted coldly and got off the carriage.

"Minister Wenren, let's go!"

"Grand Tutor Su, please."

Su Yueyao and Vice Minister Wenren stepped into the Ministry of Justice.

The five people in the carriage looked wilted and listless, like flowers struck by frost.

"My lord, we've already concealed Haoxuan's injury. Now that this has happened, won't my wife be so angry when she goes back that she'll abandon us?" Huan Yanxi asked somewhat flusteredly.

“The mistress won’t abandon us, but she will make us suffer,” Tian Wangchen said.

"We'll endure some hardship, as long as they don't drive us away."

“My lady would never send us away, my lord! The way that Vice Minister Wenren looked at you just now, his eyes were full of lust. If you are alone with him, what will happen to you?” Tian Wangchen sighed.

“What will happen? It’s only a short while now. Vice Minister Wenren wouldn’t dare to go against a woman’s wishes and force A Yao to do anything. At most, he could seduce her.”

"But Ayao isn't stupid either. She won't just obediently jump in. It's not certain who will suffer the loss!"

"My lord is right, let's wait and see!" The eldest prince said tacitly, looking at the gate of the Ministry of Justice prison.

Su Yueyao followed Vice Minister Wenren toward the Ministry of Justice prison.

"Is Vice Minister Wenren taking me to the prison? What for? I'll wait a bit, and after the imperial decree is read out, I'll be able to see Minghe directly."

"Grand Tutor Su, aren't you going to come and see for yourself? Or will you be beating your husband with a stick later?" Vice Minister Wenren said with a smile.

Su Yueyao's expression froze.

"Minister Wenren can speak frankly, but how can we expect the guards to show mercy later?"

Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Vice Minister Wenren stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Su Yueyao didn't expect him to stop suddenly and bumped into him. The next second, Su Yueyao covered her nose and took two steps back.

"Grand Tutor Su, if I asked you to marry me in exchange for the guards giving me a lighter punishment later—I guarantee it would look serious but there would be no real harm—would you agree?"

"No, I have no intention of getting married. Even if Minister Wenren is a good man, I have no intention of marrying again."

"So you don't care whether your husband lives or dies?"

"Yes, I care."
