But then she thought of Ye Zeyu's face, which was said to bring ruin to the country, and slowly she felt relieved.

Ye Zeyu certainly had the power to corrupt the Heavenly Maiden.

If that's the case, then she has no way out.

Even if Ye Zerui lets her go, Bai Mengying will likely not.

"As expected, you're a big problem!"

Su Muxi let out a coquettish cry, but the next moment she was pulled onto Ye Zeyu's lap.

Before she could even gasp, Ye Zeyu said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, don't even think about running away. You can't escape."

Looking into Ye Zeyu's deep black eyes, Su Muxi didn't struggle, but murmured, "Ye Zeyu, why did you suddenly fall in love with me? Is it because we had physical intimacy?"

This question stumped Ye Zeyu. He always felt that his relationship with Su Muxi was progressing gradually, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't.

It wouldn't be right to say it was because of physical intimacy, because he didn't seem to be very averse to Su Muxi from the beginning, nor did he think Su Muxi was ugly.

Ultimately, it was probably because of the Empress Dowager's praise of Su Muxi in her letter.

It might be because of Su Muxi's gentleness towards Tang Yan.

It could also be because Su Muxi was not as foolish and difficult as ordinary women.

In short, Su Muxi seemed to be different in his heart from the very beginning.

"...I like you, that's all. There's no reason why. In short, you're destined to be my queen!"

Meanwhile, in the princess's residence.

After learning that Ye Zeyu had gone to the Marquis of Anyang's residence to stand up for Su Muxi, Bai Mengying smashed all the furnishings in the room.

Su Muxi is just an ugly woman of low status, so why should she receive Ye Zeyu's protection?

And Ye Ziyu, he's truly blind!

She has both beauty and talent, and is the darling of the Bai family!

But Ye Zeyu chose Su Muxi instead!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Ye Zeyu is temporarily unable to move, but Su Muxi is not so easy to deal with!

My cousin is right. Dealing with an ugly woman who has no power or influence doesn't require much effort at all.

With so many beggars outside the city, it would be easy to ruin Su Muxi's reputation.

However, she now not only wants to ruin Su Muxi's reputation, but also wants Su Muxi to die!

Ye Zerui, who went to deliver steamed buns to the Marquis of Anyang's residence, failed to meet Qiao Xiuyuan as he had hoped.

However, seeing Qiao Ziming can help him relieve his boredom!
