Meng Ruohua trusted Xu Yong completely and approved of his decisions. She didn't have high expectations for these things, as long as she didn't lose money.

The caravan's primary purpose was to transport grain. If the grain could be delivered to the north, the people there could eat cheaper food, thus ensuring the stability of the north. If that could make their efforts worthwhile, it would be worthwhile.

In fact, Meng Ruohua knew that her idea was too naive, but she still wanted to do her part.

Fewer wars, fewer deaths, and fewer orphans and widows.

Yu Yan held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you with it from now on."

The two left the warehouse together and got into a car to return home.

As they passed Jining Street, Meng Ruohua suddenly lifted the carriage curtain and said, "There's a pastry shop up ahead that makes very exquisite pastries. Let's buy some to take back when we pass by."

The streets were bustling with people preparing for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and the pastry shops were doing exceptionally well.

The carriage moved very slowly. Yu Yan had already dismounted and was walking beside the carriage, occasionally answering Meng Ruohua's questions.

When they arrived at the pastry shop, Meng Ruohua got out of the car to stretch her legs. She had been sitting in the car for half an hour and felt uncomfortable all over.

Yu Yan carefully helped the person down and said softly, "Don't go on long trips unless it's absolutely necessary. It's too much of a hardship."

Meng Ruohua smiled sweetly, her beautiful face gently lifted, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yu Yan tightened his grip on her arm, deliberately putting on a stern face and saying, "Stop laughing, I don't want others to see."

Meng Ruohua's smile grew even brighter. "Nonsense, who would read that?"

Yu Yan turned around and took out a veiled hat from the car and put it on her, saying, "The sun is still hot right now, wear this to block out the sun."

"it is good."

Yu Yan shielded Meng Ruohua behind him, their hands clasped tightly together at their sides. Anyone could tell they were a loving couple. They would exchange a few words, with Yu Yan listening attentively with his head slightly lowered, before answering earnestly.

Suddenly, Yu Yan felt a malicious gaze. He immediately looked over sharply and saw Song Chen'an's resentful face through the window of the teahouse across the street.

Song Chen'an came to the ferry today to inquire about the Qiu family, but unexpectedly, instead of finding out anything, he saw Yu Yan and Meng Ruohua, the adulterous couple!

He immediately realized that he had ended up in this situation entirely because of Meng Ruohua, and a surge of boundless hatred welled up in his heart.

If Meng Ruohua hadn't clung to the position of the principal wife, why would he have risked his future to frame Meng Xin?

If she hadn't cheated on her husband, she wouldn't have considered divorce, and she even took a lot of money from the Song family.

If the Song family still had plenty of money, he wouldn't have invested in the Qiu family's shipping business, which resulted in a loss of eight thousand taels of silver.

That's eight thousand taels! That's enough to cover the family's expenses for three or four years.

And then there's Song Tian's matter. If she hadn't brought people to that banquet back then, Song Tian wouldn't have fallen for that bastard Wang Yuanzhi, and she wouldn't be divorced at home, making him feel ashamed to even go out.

What pained him the most was Shen Yunlan's situation. If Meng Ruohua had agreed to the divorce earlier, Shen Yunlan wouldn't have had to wait for him for so long, and she wouldn't have had a relationship with Lu Yun because she couldn't wait for him, which is why he has to raise someone else's child now!

One thing after another happened because of Meng Ruohua!

The more Song Chen'an thought about it, the more he hated it. He wished he could go over and beat Meng Ruohua to death. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to maintain his rationality.

Just as he was about to lose control, he suddenly met Yu Yan's murderous gaze. He was so frightened that he trembled and involuntarily looked away.

When will God finally take revenge on this murderer?

Seeing the change in Song Chen'an's expression, Mo Yu whispered, "Second Master, let's go back first!"

Even back when he still held an official position, Song Chen'an wouldn't dare to provoke the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Mo Yu didn't know how her master had become like this. Everyone had praised him for his youthful talent, but in just one or two years, he had fallen so low that he could only afford to drink tea that cost a dozen coins a pot.

He no longer receives tips and lives on a meager monthly allowance of a few hundred coins.

For a moment, he felt a pang of envy for Mo Feng, who had taken out forty taels of silver to redeem his entire family from their servitude. He had heard that Mo Feng had already bought land in the south and was now in charge of his own household.

Hey!

Mo Yu sighed softly, "Second Master, let's go back. Madam is still waiting for news at home!"

Song Chen'an was afraid of Yu Yan's retaliation, and Song Chang had just been reinstated and could not withstand any more storms.

He reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said dejectedly, "Let's go!"

He knew that no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do; he could no longer get close to those people.

Song Chen'an walked out of the teahouse dejectedly. He looked up and saw Meng Ruohua, with her slightly protruding pregnant belly, getting into the car with Yu Yan's help. Meng Ruohua turned back and said something gently to Yu Yan, which earned her a doting smile from him.

So she's pregnant!

Yu Yan thoughtfully closed the car door before letting the driver set off.

The carriage slowly moved forward. Yu Yan glanced at Song Chen'an again before following.

That cold, emotionless gaze alone was enough to intimidate Song Chen'an. He dared not look at it any longer and hurriedly scurried away through the back door of the teahouse.

Meng Ruohua remained completely unaware, sitting calmly in the car and occasionally lifting a corner of the curtain to say a few words to Yan.

Yu Yan answered patiently, agreeing with eyes full of tenderness.

"When the children are older, we'll go to the south to find Li Furong, and see the small bridges, flowing water, and misty Jiangnan."

"Okay, we'll definitely go there before Zhuang Yan is transferred."

"I've never even left the capital."

"Let's go to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer heat next year."

"I also want to go to Lanzhou to experience the magnificent scenery of 'a lone plume of smoke rising straight from the desert, and the setting sun sinking round over the long river'."

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid of a tough journey."

"With you by my side, how could I possibly suffer?"

Yu Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Yes, you're right."

After Meng Ruohua finished speaking, she sighed softly, "You have an official position, how can you just leave like that?"

Yu Yan suddenly stopped smiling. "If I lose my official position, will you look down on me?"

Meng Ruohua rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Do you think I want to marry you for your official position? It would be better if you didn't have it."

I don't know how many people I've offended; it's good to be able to extricate myself from this situation as soon as possible.

"Without an official position, you can no longer be a Lady of Imperial Decree."

“If you don’t want to do it, then don’t. That outfit is too complicated and heavy. I’d be exhausted just wearing it for half a day.”

"I might be looked down upon by other wives."

"Do you think I care about their opinions?" Meng Ruohua glared at Yu Yan. "Just be yourself, stop nagging. Hurry up and go, your child is hungry."

Yu Yan smiled knowingly, "Okay."

Every tree is in autumn colors, every mountain is bathed in sunset.

Sometimes, the best time of year is spent with someone by your side, someone you can spend your whole life with!
