Chapter 273 Qualifications
"And they brought a lot of things with them."

"The Xu family also came with Xu Hejing."

Su Muyao looked at Hua Linye's worried and uneasy expression and smiled, saying, "What are you worried about?"

Su Muyao reached out and hugged his neck, pulled his head down, and kissed the corner of his lips, saying, "Don't worry, I won't take them as beast husbands."

"Are you relieved now?"

Su Muyao knew that Hua Linye was sensitive and fragile because of his experiences in the Xu family and things that happened when he was young, so she just needed to comfort him a little.

Sure enough, Hua Linye's expression improved considerably after hearing these words.

"Is the wife going to see them?"

He saw it all; those young men dressed up in their finest attire were all trying to catch the eye of the mistress.

Su Muyao thought for a moment and said, "I didn't originally plan to meet them, but my status is different now, so there are some things I still need to do to entertain them."

"Moreover, the extreme cold weather may require all the major families to work together to protect the beastmen of Beast King City."

Since everyone is taking the initiative to come to her, she can no longer turn everyone away like before.

Saving people at the palace banquet was also to gain more assistance.

She still keeps the two imperial edicts given to her by her grandmother in her space.

She felt that her grandmother was fine and did not want to take the two imperial edicts, but her grandmother told her to take them to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Moreover, there was an imperial edict establishing her as empress, which her grandmother enshrined in the royal ancestral hall.

Hua Linye never expected his wife to explain so much to him.

"However, the Xu family will not be seen."

She hasn't even settled accounts with the Xu family for persecuting Hua Linye, yet she still wants to come see them? What is she thinking?

After the Xu family was driven away, the Han family and other families were welcomed into the Su residence.

Su Muyao had her servants prepare tea and snacks to entertain them.

The Han family head looked at Su Muyao and said, "Your Highness, I am so grateful for your help during the palace banquet. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here unharmed right now."

"These are gifts from our family, a small token of our appreciation. Please accept them, Your Highness."

Although the royal family has a princess, she is weak and has not yet been given a title.

Su Muyao was a princess personally appointed by the Empress, and she was also a titled Princess Dingguo, with a status similar to that of the King of Chu and others, so everyone had to pay attention to her.

Not to mention how capable this princess is.

So everyone present smiled and said some nice things.

Su Muyao said in a friendly manner, "Patriarch Han, everyone, you're too kind. Since I possess healing abilities and have the heart of a healer, I will naturally help in that situation if I can..."

Su Muyao chatted and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Han family head couldn't help but get to the point, "Your Highness is so outstanding, I wonder if my son could serve by Your Highness's side?"

The head of the Han family dared not immediately suggest that his son become Su Muyao's beast husband.

Let's test the waters first.

As long as the son can stay by Su Muyao's side and slowly make sacrifices, perhaps he will have the chance to become Su Muyao's beast husband.

Su Muyao declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Han, but there's no need for Young Master Han to work for me."

She knew that in the beast world, people were quite direct in expressing themselves, and if she didn't refuse, the other party would only assume that she agreed.

She actually didn't plan to take in any more beast husbands.

But she still remembered what Yun Qinglan had said, and she would think about it carefully.

Young Master Han was also taught to be extremely outstanding by the Han family. He had been studying under a master outside and didn't know much about Su Muyao. Now that his parents had urgently summoned him back, he realized what they wanted to do. Originally, finding his wife was his parents' order, and he also had a life-saving grace. So he calmly accepted his parents' arrangement.

But when he looked at the beautiful and outstanding Su Muyao, his ears couldn't help but feel a little hot.

But I didn't expect to be rejected.

He felt a little disappointed; perhaps he wasn't qualified. The other young masters brought by various families were also rejected by Su Muyao.

Everyone felt a little disappointed, but they also knew that this was something that couldn't be forced.

Su Muyao changed the subject, saying, "The weather is getting colder today, and this kind of weather may last for a long time. All the family heads should make preparations as soon as possible."

"The grain from the estate was transported back to the house early, and more preparations were made to keep warm and ward off the cold..."

Su Muyao briefly explained the matter to everyone, without saying that it would definitely happen, but only giving them a heads-up.

If you can listen, then listen; if you can't, don't blame her for not reminding you.

Now everyone has great faith in Su Muyao's abilities, and their expressions became serious upon hearing her say this.

After everyone said their goodbyes and left, they all went back to make preparations.

……

Yan Family
After Yan Zhaoye returned, he was punished by the head of the Yan family and made to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Yan Shoufu discussed with the Yan family head: "This Liu Mengyan is simply strange. Whenever Zhao Ye encounters something related to him, he goes crazy and loses all rationality. He's not like himself at all."

The Yan family head said, "Didn't you hear what Su Muyao said? Jiang Mochuan is possessed by evil spirits, so I suspect that Liu Mengyan used evil magic on Xiangye."

The Yan family head pondered, "Do you think Xiao Lei's condition might be related to Liu Mengyan?"

"Back then, it was Liu Mengyan who found Xiao Lei and brought her back, making it look like Su Muyao harmed Xiao Lei and that she saved Xiao Lei."

"It was because of this incident that Zhao Ye disliked Su Muyao, but was quite grateful to her. Over time, he took good care of her and developed feelings for her."

Looking back now, all of these things are related to Liu Mengyan.

Upon hearing these words and recalling some past details, Yan Shoufu's gaze darkened.

"What a wonderful Liu Mengyan."

"My lady, since that's the case, could we ask Miss Su to take a look at Xiao Lei? They were best friends back then, and had a close relationship since childhood. Miss Su would be willing to help, wouldn't she?"

The head of the Yan family sighed and said, "It's hard to say."

“Back then, Teruya disregarded the facts and canceled the engagement, and even insulted her. We didn’t know the truth at the time, so we didn’t get involved.”

Actually, they harbored resentment towards Su Muyao at the time, blaming her for harming Xiao Lei.

But out of consideration for his relationship with the Su family, he didn't say anything unpleasant.

Later, when they calmed down and realized something was wrong, all traces had been erased, leaving them with no way to investigate.

Yan Shoufu said anxiously, "My lady, we must try no matter what. We can't let Xiao Lei be like this."

"We witnessed Miss Su's medical skills at the palace banquet; perhaps she really does have a solution."

"At this time, we should put aside our pride and focus on Xiao Lei's recovery."

The head of the Yan family looked at the snowflakes falling outside, pondered for a long time, and said, "Very well, have someone bring Xiao Lei back from the other courtyard. When Xiao Lei returns, I will personally go to invite her."

……

After returning from the palace banquet, the Duan family head and the others began packing their things.

They have decided to leave Beast King City to guard the border in the southwest. Having made the decision, they need to pack their things and leave Beast King City as soon as possible.

However, Her Majesty the Queen granted them a two-week grace period.

Since returning, Duan Tingxuan has locked himself in his room and refused to eat or drink.

Knowing that he was upset, the head of the Duan family sent someone to the Dong family yesterday to retrieve Duan Tingxuan's belongings.

Seeing that his elder brother hadn't come out for dinner, Duan Tingshu had no choice but to go to his room to look for him.

When he entered the room, he saw his older brother sitting by the window watching the snowflakes, looking utterly dejected.

Duan Tingshu felt sorry for his older brother, "Brother, are you alright?"
