Chapter 141: Chapter 141: All Is Worthwhile

Mei Qingchen felt like his head was about to explode, and spoke without restraint: "Why does the wife like someone so frail..."

Although Hua Linye had some jealousy arising in his heart, he couldn’t afford to dwell on it. He quickly reached out to cover Mei Qingchen’s mouth, "You better shut up, don’t speak nonsense."

"You don’t want to cause trouble for the wife."

"I believe things aren’t as they seem to us."

Even though Hua Linye initially felt a sour discomfort in his heart, it was as if something tugged at his innermost being.

But he knew, as the beast husband to the wife, he must learn to trust her and consider everything on her behalf.

He shouldn’t prioritize his own will.

He saw Wen Nanxi do exactly this, always prioritizing the wife’s wishes and ideas.

That’s why the wife was willing to be close to Wen Nanxi and trust Wen Nanxi.

He didn’t understand emotions; no one had taught him.

Living in the Xu Family, he only saw the petty jealousies and struggles for favor among his mother’s beast husbands; there was no genuine affection to speak of.

But here, he felt his heart gradually being healed, as if he sensed the most beautiful and warm feelings from the wife.

He seemed to gradually understand emotions bit by bit.

Su Muyao looked at Hua Linye with a surprised gaze.

She didn’t expect him to say such things.

She had to admit these words truly resonated with her heart.

If Mei Qingchen had been allowed to speak without a filter just now, things would have really become troublesome.

It could lead people to misunderstand her intentions toward Yun Qinglan.

She truly had no thoughts or intentions regarding Yun Qinglan.

Su Muyao carefully placed Yun Qinglan on the bed.

She felt his pulse, and there was indeed no issue. It was just that his superpower was healing his body, causing him to fall asleep, which made the healing process more effective.

After laying Yun Qinglan down, Su Muyao finally spoke seriously: "Mei Qingchen, if you had said those words just now, it would have marred someone else’s reputation."

"Growing up in the Mei Family, spoiled by your parents, they diligently paved the road for you as parents. You might not understand others’ circumstances and feelings, and you might casually say things."

"But sometimes, those words you casually speak can cause harm to others."

Mei Qingchen seemed to take Su Muyao’s words to heart; his initially angry demeanor dissipated, revealing a complicated expression.

He glanced at Hua Linye, indicating him to release his hold.

Seeing Mei Qingchen’s normal expression, Hua Linye released his grip.

Mei Qingchen said: "So, were the words I said earlier harming the wife?"

Su Muyao really didn’t want to bring up past matters.

She thought for a moment before emphasizing: "Mei Qingchen, you should be aware of the sacrifices Yun Family made for the Northern Territory."

"The reason why Young Master Yun’s health is like this is because when his mother was carrying him, she should have been nurturing herself, but had to fight to protect the Northern Territory, hence suffering injuries leading to premature birth."

"As a member of the Yun Family and as City Lord, Young Master Yun’s mother could have enjoyed a life of luxury and stability, yet she still chose to adhere to sacrificing rituals annihilating countless attacking enemies, securing peace and a tranquil environment for the Northern Territory and all of us."

"The reason we can enjoy a peaceful environment now is because someone carried the burdens ahead."

"This is a family of heroes. I respect Young Master Yun. How could I do anything excessive to him?"

"Think before you speak."

At that moment, Su Muyao’s expression was solemn and serious.

Hua Linye was deeply moved, and even Mei Qingchen seemed to suddenly become solemn.

Pausing for a moment, Su Muyao said: "Mei Qingchen, I might have spoken a bit seriously, but it’s not directed at you."

She knew he might be impulsive when speaking.

"You could actually... live in the bustling environment of the Capital City, that’s more suited for you..."

During this period, Mei Qingchen had been helping out, she could see that.

But she thought, given Mei Qingchen’s prominent family background, special lineage, and how petted he is, his situation was different from others.

Returning to live in the Capital City would be comfortable.

Perhaps he might even select a she-beast of good temperament and appearance to marry, exclusively for him.

That might stabilize his emotions a bit.

He might not be truly happy here.

Mei Qingchen’s face suddenly turned pale, "Wife, please don’t send me away."

"I really am sorry, I just got anxious and... I will change, I will change in the future."

Mei Qingchen didn’t understand why he felt panicked at this moment.

In his panic, he couldn’t help but hold onto Su Muyao’s hand, looking at her with pitiable eyes.

Showing a stance of being able to bend and endure.

"I’m not sending you away, I just think you..."

"No, what you think isn’t my thought."

"Wife, I’m very useful, the Mei Family stands with me, which means standing with the wife, serving as the wife’s support."

"The Chen Family is definitely wiped out, I can also protect the wife..."

"I can do many things; I can also enter into a Contract..."

Seeing that Mei Qingchen was about to spiral further, Su Muyao quickly said: "Stop talking, I’m not sending you away."

"You don’t understand now, if you want to stay, then stay for now."

Perhaps he’ll understand someday.

No matter what, when she was exiled, the Mei Family didn’t add insult to injury like the other five did; they helped instead.

Mei Qingchen indeed protected her on the Exile Road.

Recalling this point, she ultimately couldn’t be completely heartless.

Little did she know that during their conversation, Yun Qinglan, who was lying on the bed, gently moved his fingers, his refined lashes trembled slightly.

Su Muyao said: "Let Young Master Yun sleep for a bit, I’ll go make dinner."

Mei Qingchen and Hua Linye both followed her out to help.

Nowadays, Mei Qingchen worked with incredible enthusiasm and seriousness, "Wife, the adjacent room is finished. Would you like to take a look?"

Su Muyao shook her head and said: "No need."

Shen Ci’an has a place to live, that’s enough, she doesn’t care about the room.

Not really sending him away also stemmed from considering his past protective actions on the Exile Road.

This body was hers, so the safety of this body was also important.

...

After Su Muyao and the others left, Yun Qinglan opened his eyes.

At this moment, his refined eyebrows no longer bore tranquility, but rather stirred with a hint of turmoil.

He had already awakened earlier and heard their conversation, merely worried that suddenly waking might make them feel awkward.

So he chose not to speak, as to not disturb them.

The Yun Family’s duty to guard the Northern Territory seemed to be a responsibility passed down from ancient times.

His mother and ancestors volunteered to sacrifice themselves to protect the Northern Territory.

Yet, perhaps most people have forgotten, unexpectedly she would speak such words.

Making him realize that everything the Yun Family did was meaningful and worthwhile.

He understood the unwavering choices of the Yun Family’s ancestors through generations.

He sincerely wished to undertake the responsibilities of the Yun Family, continuing to guard the Northern Territory.

Rather than passively accepting the responsibilities heaped upon him.

Housekeeper Yun entered quietly at some point.

"Young Master?"

Seeing the young master’s absent-minded appearance, Housekeeper Yun was astonished.

What was the young master thinking about so deeply?

"Young Master?"

Only then did Yun Qinglan hear the steward’s voice, and he slowly sat up.

Housekeeper Yun hurriedly came forward to support him.

Yun Qinglan calmly said: "Uncle Yun, no need to support me, my body has improved quite a bit."

With an unprecedented feeling of comfort,

Housekeeper Yun noticed the improved complexion of his young master: "Young Master looks so much better."

Yun Qinglan replied: "Not just that, my body feels lighter and much more energetic."

No longer that previous sense of weakness and helplessness.

The scent of food in the air brought him appetite as if suddenly awoken.
