Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 273: Qualifications

"And they brought a lot of things."

"Also, Xu Family came with Xu Heping."

Su Muyao looked at Hua Linye, who was now showing a gloomy and uneasy expression, smiled, and said: "What are you worried about?"

Su Muyao reached out to hug his neck, pulled his head down, kissed the corner of his lips, and said: "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 inside due to his experiences with the Xu Family since childhood, so coaxing him a bit would help.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Hua Linye’s face looked much better.

"So, will the wife go to see them?"

He saw it all; those young men were all dressed flamboyantly, just to catch the wife’s attention.

Su Muyao thought for a moment and said: "Originally, I didn’t plan to meet them, but now my status is different, I have to socialize with some of them."

"Besides, with such cold weather, perhaps all the major families need to work together to protect the beastmen in Beast Emperor City."

Now that everyone was coming to her proactively, she couldn’t continue to shut them out as before.

Saving people at the palace banquet was also for more support.

She currently had two Holy Decrees left by her grandmother stored in her space.

She felt her grandmother’s health was fine and didn’t want to use these decrees, but her grandmother insisted she kept them to ensure nothing was left to chance.

Moreover, there was a decree establishing her as the Empress, which her grandmother had placed in the Imperial Clan Hall for worship.

Hua Linye didn’t expect the wife would explain so much to him.

"However, the Xu Family people won’t be seen."

The Xu Family persecuted Hua Linye, and she hadn’t settled the score yet—not to mention meeting them.

After the Xu Family was chased away, people from the Han Family and other families were welcomed into the Su Mansion.

Su Muyao instructed the servants to prepare tea and snacks to entertain them.

The Han Family Head looked at Su Muyao and said: "Your Highness, during the palace banquet, if not for your rescue, I wouldn’t be standing here safely now."

"These are things our family brought along, a small token of appreciation, please accept, Your Highness."

Even though the Royal Family had a princess, that princess was weak and did not have a title.

Su Muyao was titled Princess by the Empress herself and held the title of Princess Dingguo, with a status equal to King Chu and others, making it impossible for people not to take her seriously.

Not to mention that this Princess has such strong abilities.

Thus, everyone present smiled and said nice things.

Su Muyao amiably said: "Han Family Head, everyone is too kind. Since I possess the healing ability, as a healer, when the situation arises to help, I naturally will..."

Su Muyao casually chatted and socialized with everyone.

After a long period of exchanging pleasantries, the Han Family Head couldn’t resist bringing up the main topic, "Your Highness is so outstanding, could my son possibly work by your side?"

The Han Family Head didn’t dare to outright suggest his son become Su Muyao’s beast husband.

He wanted to test the waters first.

As long as his son could stay by Su Muyao’s side and gradually put in effort, there might be a chance for him to become her beast husband.

Su Muyao declined: "Thank you for the Han Family Head’s kindness, but there’s no need for Mr. Han to work by my side."

She understood that in the Beast World, people expressed things directly; if she didn’t refuse, they would assume she agreed.

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

But she still remembered Yun Qinglan’s words and would think about it carefully.

Mr. Han had also been taught to be very outstanding by the Han Family. Previously, he had been apprenticing outside and wasn’t well-acquainted with Su Muyao. Now urgently recalled by his parents, he finally realized their intentions—finding a wife was his parents’ decision, coupled with a life-saving gratitude, and he calmly accepted his parents’ arrangement.

But when he saw the beautiful and excellent Su Muyao, as he looked at her, his ears couldn’t help but heat up slightly.

Yet he didn’t expect to be rejected.

He felt somewhat disappointed inside; perhaps he wasn’t qualified enough.

The young men brought by other families were also rejected by Su Muyao.

Everyone felt a bit regretful but understood these things couldn’t be forced.

Su Muyao changed the topic: "Today’s weather has turned cold, and this weather might persist for a long time. It’s wise for each Family Head to start preparing early."

"Transport the grains from the village back to the house early and make more preparations against the cold..."

Su Muyao briefly mentioned this matter to everyone, not asserting it as certain but merely reminding them.

If they choose to heed the advice, fine; if not, they cannot blame her for not warning them.

Now, everyone had great trust in Su Muyao’s ability, and hearing her say this made their expressions turn grave.

After saying farewell, everyone went back to make their preparations.

...

Yan Family

Upon returning, Yan Zhaoye was punished by the Yan Family Master to kneel in the hall.

Yan Beastman discussed with the Yan Family Master: "This Liu Mengyan is simply peculiar; once Zhaoye encounters issues related to him, he seems to lose all reason, unlike himself."

Yan Family Master responded: "Didn’t you hear what Su Muyao said? Jiang Mochuan fell victim to evil techniques, so I suspect Liu Mengyan used evil techniques on Zhaoye."

Yan Family Master pondered: "Do you think Xiao Lei’s condition is related to Liu Mengyan?"

"Years ago, it was Liu Mengyan who found and brought Xiao Lei back, fabricating the image that Su Muyao harmed Xiao Lei while she had saved Xiao Lei."

"Because of this, Zhaoye detested Su Muyao, was quite appreciative of her, and gradually took care of her, developing feelings."

Thinking back now, it seems all these matters are connected to Liu Mengyan.

Listening to these words, Yan Beastman recalled past details, and his gaze turned heavy.

"What a Liu Mengyan."

"Wife, given the circumstances, should we request Miss Su to take a look at Xiao Lei? They were best friends from childhood, known to have a good relationship. Miss Su will help, right?"

Yan Family Master sighed, saying: "It’s hard to say."

"Back then, Zhaoye recklessly annulled the engagement and even insulted her, and we didn’t get to the truth, nor did we deal with the situation."

In fact, at that time, they harbored resentment towards Su Muyao, blaming her for harming Xiao Lei in their hearts.

But keeping in mind the relationship with the Su Family, they didn’t say anything unpleasant.

Later, when they calmed down and found inconsistencies in the situation, all traces had been erased, leaving no way to investigate.

Yan Beastman anxiously said: "Wife, regardless, we must try; Xiao Lei can’t be left in that state."

"We witnessed Miss Su’s medical skills at the palace banquet, and she might genuinely have a solution."

"We must set aside face for Xiao Lei’s health recovery; that’s the priority."

Yan Family Master glanced outside at the falling snow, pondered for a long time, and said: "Very well, let’s bring Xiao Lei back from the other residence, and when she returns, I’ll personally invite her."

...

After the palace banquet, Duan Family Master and the others began packing their things.

They had decided to leave Beast Emperor City and head Southwest to guard the border; once the decision was made, they needed to pack early and depart from Beast Emperor City.

However, Her Majesty the Empress gave them a grace period of half a month.

Since returning, Duan Tingxuan had locked himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink.

Duan Family Master knew he was hurting inside, and yesterday had someone go to the Dong Family to retrieve Duan Tingxuan’s belongings.

Duan Tingshu found his brother hadn’t come out for dinner and could only go to his room to find him.

Upon entering the room, he saw his brother sitting by the window, gazing at the snowflakes, exuding a defeated aura.

Duan Tingshu felt a pang of sympathy for his brother, "Brother, are you okay?"
