At night, they all lay down to rest. Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen lay on Su Yue's left and right, while Su Yue lay in the middle, but it still felt a little unreal.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch Shangguan Haomu's belly again. It was flat and there was nothing special about it. She touched Shangguan Haochen's belly again and it was the same.

Shangguan Haochen looked at Su Yue's actions, his mouth never lowered, and said with a smile: "Sister, the baby is still small and hasn't grown up yet, so you can't feel it."

Su Yue smiled upon hearing this and kissed Shangguan Haochen: "I know, it's just that I'm happy and worried at the same time. We must be extra careful in the future and can't make any mistakes."

Shangguan Haochen nodded happily, his eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Su Yue kissed Shangguan Haomu again, then sat up, glanced at Shen Yunyan and Mu Feng, and said to them gently, "Good night."

Shen Yunyan responded with a smile: "Good night, sleep well."

Mu Feng also said softly: "Good night, may everyone have a good dream."

Afterwards, Su Yue lay down again, and everyone fell asleep happily with warmth and peace in their hearts.

The next morning, Liu Yixiu and Xiaofan were waiting at the door very tactfully.

As soon as Shen Yunyan opened the door, he saw the two of them standing there.

Xiao Fan looked relaxed, while Liu Yixiao seemed a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't often take the initiative to serve others like this.

Xiao Fan walked into the room with ease, went straight to Mu Feng, and swiftly helped Mu Feng put on his clothes.

She also touched Mu Feng's belly with care, muttering, "You must be well."

Liu Yixiao shyly approached Shangguan Haochen and asked in a low voice, "How can I help you?"

Shangguan Haochen was in a particularly good mood today, and rarely did he resist. He smiled and replied, "I don't need your care right now. When you recover from your injury, I'll leave the job of moving the luggage to you."

When Liu Yixiao heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, leave everything to me from now on. I will definitely ensure your safe entry into Beijing."

At this moment, Shangguan Haomu was stunned when he heard this: "It will take another 24 days to reach the capital. Are you sure you want to protect us?"

Liu Yixiao nodded without hesitation: "I'm alone, so I don't have any worries."

Upon hearing this, the others looked at each other and nodded.

Su Yue said, "He is a very skilled martial artist. It's good to have him protecting us. Now that we have three pregnant women in the team, we really need to be extra careful."

Everyone agreed with this and was full of anticipation for the journey ahead, but also a bit more cautious.

Shen Yunyan also said: "Then let's take care of each other along the way and make sure we reach the capital safely."

They had just put their luggage on the carriage and were about to set off when suddenly two young men knelt down in front of Su Yue.

This sudden scene prevented Su Yue from reacting in time, and Shangguan Haomu pulled her behind to protect her.

At this time, more and more people gathered around, casting curious glances.

Seeing this, Shen Yunyan hurried forward and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Get up first."

The two men seemed to pretend not to hear Shen Yunyan's words and continued to kneel upright.

They raised their heads and looked at Su Yue expectantly. One of the men said anxiously, "Miss, we admire you. Please take us with you. We don't ask for wealth or honor. Just keep us by your side. Otherwise, our family will sell us out."

After saying that, the two of them kowtowed continuously, and the sound of their foreheads hitting the ground was particularly clear in the noisy environment.

When Su Yue heard this, she immediately understood that she was being morally blackmailed.

She frowned, looking helpless.

The two men looked haggard, with deep fear and helplessness in their eyes, and they seemed to be in a truly desperate situation.

But Su Yue also knew that she couldn't agree easily, otherwise there might be more trouble later.

People around began to point and talk in low voices.

"This girl looks kind, so let's help them."

"Yes, it's pitiful."

But some people also said: "How can we just follow it so casually? Who knows if it is true or not?"

Su Yue reluctantly stepped forward and tried to get them to stand up first. Her voice was gentle but firm: "You stand up and talk first."

The two men remained indifferent and continued to kneel, as if they would not give up until they got a satisfactory answer.

Seeing this, Liu Yixiao was very angry and wanted to step forward to argue, but was held back tightly by Su Yue.

Su Yue looked at him worriedly and said softly, "There are so many people watching now. As a man, you are most likely to suffer losses. Don't be impulsive."

Liu Yixiao gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Su Yue sighed and looked at the two men again, her eyes full of helplessness and pity: "We are strangers to each other. I understand that you may be in a difficult situation, or you may be forced to do so.

But I really don't have the ability to help all of you.

If you have any difficulties at home, I might be able to help a little, but marriage is not that simple.

There are too many poor people in the world. You can't just marry someone like me because I am so pitiful.

So, get up, and find a wife worthy of your trust while there is still time."

After saying that, Su Yue no longer paid attention to their pleading, turned around resolutely, and got on the carriage.

Seeing this, the two men wanted to step forward to persuade them to stay, but were stopped by Liu Yixiu.

Liu Yixiao's face was tense and his eyes were sharp, as if he was warning them not to bother him any further.

The two men looked at Liu Yixiu's angry expression and knew that this trick would not work. They could only watch the carriage slowly move forward and eventually disappear from their sight.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only the two men standing there, feeling lost and helpless.

They may still be confused and worried about their future, but at this moment they can only accept the reality helplessly and find a new way out.

Mu Feng just held Su Yue's hand quietly, and the car was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

No one mentioned what had just happened, as if it had been an episode that had been deliberately forgotten.

But everyone's mind was full of thoughts, especially Mu Feng, whose eyes were deep and thoughtful.

He knew very well that in this world, as a man, his destiny was often not in his own control.

The actions of the two men seemed abrupt and rude, but if you put yourself in their shoes,

Facing the desperate situation of being sold by his family, he saw a kind and capable woman like Su Yue.

Maybe I will also give it a try like them and fight for that slim hope for my future life.

They did not think the two men were funny, but rather admired their courage.

In this environment full of constraints and helplessness, the courage to fight so desperately and try to change one's own destiny is rare and precious.
